Thanks, Tim. The electric rate isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Were taxes included? My electric rate is essentially the same as yours, accounting for the monetary conversion.

It's looking to be pointless to have moved to UBT. The guy I was getting BU credits from crunched 500 million and seems to have pulled off my account. :( I'll give it a day, but if I'm not doing 400 million a day, it isn't going to help much.

Welcome back Jerry, I bet you can't keep that up for a week

'Some' means more than ten right?

It's never pointless to move to UBT, every little helps.

As Mark has pointed out, every little helps in our team's (no doubt soon to be successful) comeback against TSBT, so we're glad to have you back.

James.

Hi Jerry,

It's nearly acceptable though "energy needs" is the big thing for most people, as, like water, it is a neccessity - and with all the fuss about how to generate the energy to begin with, so it's a trade off, between using what you need and what you can afford.

PS: My calculations are pretty much only guesswork "back of a cigarette packet", so it's just order of magnitude in accuracy terms.

hahahahahaha - that's a good pun - but I would suggest that re-joining UBT won't be a long-drawn out affair - we just need to stay sharp and we'll get the lead (sic) again

Tim

Thanks Jerry, we're moving in the right direction, better than losing 12 million credits

We'll be back at number 1 in no time

That's alright Jerry, we've all made a few grammatical howlers in our time, and I think everyone understood that you'd really meant to use the word "your" instead of "you're", so we don't think any the less of you.

I'll be increasing my production with the goal of putting UBT about 1 billion credits ahead of TSBT. Then I'm off for other teams.

Sounds good Jerry. Thanks for all your help, you must be getting a lot of stick over at TSBT, they'll never let you back! :D

Hi Jerry,

Many thanks for your continued and highly valued contribution - we still plan on taking back our #1 spot....and I'm sure that we'll continue doing what we do best, even after that.

best regards
Tim

Thanks James! And in the unlikely event that your team ever disbands, please consider joining SETI.USA.

Over at TSBT, Alez and Scole both joined the Ireland team. That's their top crunchers. So, with UBT now 900 million ahead of TSBT, it's time for me to move on. It's been a real pleasure crunching with your team. If Alez and Scole don't go back to TSBT soon, you may move into 11th place ahead of them.

I wish both teams the best of luck.

Cheers,
Jerry

Thanks very much indeed for your generous contribution Jerry, it's been most welcome and much appreciated and made things a lot more interesting than they would have been otherwise.

Good luck in your future adventures and feel free to pop in at anytime, you'll always be assured of a warm welcome.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Jerry,

I'm unsure as to why scole and alez would leave TSBT - seems a strange move ?

And checking the stats today, shows that scole has gone back to TSBT !!

Maybe the Scottish independence vote (coming up this Thursday) has affected them somehow ?

On behalf of the entire UBT, many grateful thanks for your involvement with our team over the last month or so - we will always be indebted to you for your help and support and you can be sure that there'll always be a place here for you, should you ever decide to pop back for a while.

with very best regards
Tim

Thanks for all the heavy lifting you've been doing for us Jerry, and as Mark said, it's certainly made things interesting. :D

I hope you'll still pop into the forum from time to time, and, you know, if you did happen to find yourself at a loose end with a few billion more odd credits going spare, then please remember that you'll always have a home here.

James.

Hi all,

Tonight it seems that Jerry (MSP) has moved onto Team England....I don't think we have much to worry about for now.....

No worries, mates. I'm just there for a day, as I'm crunching 1 day for each team in 200th place, or above, for which I can join at BU. A quick in and out.

Hi Mike

Well spotted...that'll give 'em something to think about !!

Just as long as they don't all go out and buy some R-Boxes and start giving us a run for our money !!

Good point, he might have given them some ideas!
