Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground L

[thethird]

That sounds terrible but impressive. Im glad your computer is back to live though.

[Eldonauran]

Well, that was... spectacular. My power supply back-surged into the motherboard, and fried everything. Now I'm back on-line, sort of, but have lost all my previous data regarding the build(s) I was going to submit for this challenge.

This makes me a very sad panda.

I am sad with you. I was getting paranoid that would happen to me too (thunderstorms going on right now for me). I have trust that you can do it!


On a different note, I got my submission in. **scrubbed**

[Keynub]

things

You should scrub that, it might allow people to guess what build is yours.

Shneeky : Have a stranger's compassion. I hate it when I lose my work, more so than my stuff. But no one is harmed, or sexually harassed or sued, and that's what's important, isn't it?

[Eldonauran]

I supposed so. Done, then.

It was an exciting build. I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with.

[ShneekeyTheLost]

So, basically I have a whole new computer now. However, since I needed a new computer anyways, I decided to build me a GOOD one.

AM3+ motherboard with 1866 MHz DDR3 SDRAM dual-channel with four RAM slots for a total of 32 GB maximum capacity for RAM (currently 8 GB installed as a pair of 4 GB's dual-channeled), 8 core 3.5 MHz processor. Did get a GTX 610 card to go with it. Also picked up an Antec 850 Pro Gamer power supply to prevent any further back-surging into motherboards in the future.

So I went from dual-core proc with DDR2 SDRAM and an old 512 MB GPU to... that. A significant upgrade. And it only set me back about $500, because I knew how to buy the actual parts. Of course, since I run Linux, I didn't need to buy a new copy of my OS or any software.

[Kuulvheysoon]

Looking nice, Shneekey.

So, a little over 48 hours until the reveal and I've only received 8 entries.

...Or are we all just that much of procrastinators? YES.

[KrimsonNekros]

Speaking of which is everything good on my entry or did i forget something?

Hey I resemble that remark!

[Gwachitallemall]

I should just leave for 2 days. I keep thinking I've missed something and go back over my post I sent to the chairman, seeing (REDACTED), thinking it was wrong, then realizing because of (REDACTED), it wasn't.

[Kreuz]

Unfortunately, I can identify with that asseveration...

[Amphetryon]

I'll answer that question at a later time.

[KrimsonNekros]

I'll answer that question at a later time.

The art of procrastination at its finest.

[thethird]

I will probably resubmit though due to a small shenanigan.

[KrimsonNekros]

Honestly i can't wait till Monday. I'm not anticipating that my [Redacted] Corrupt Avenger is going to do particularly well, but I'd like to post it to the board for some PEACH so i can do better on my next attempt.

[Kuulvheysoon]

Speaking of which is everything good on my entry or did i forget something?

Far as I can tell it's alright; 'course, I'm not you, so if you're forgetting something, I can't really tell you...

I'll answer that question at a later time.

The art of procrastination at its finest.

And this is why I love you guys.

You never know - my very first ICOC (Incandescent Champion) I got silver. Beginner's Luck is a very real thing here.

[KrimsonNekros]

Thanks Kuul. I was more looking at a technical standpoint for the entry. As far as my build goes i'm pretty sure I have everything. And yeah i guess beginner's luck is a thing, but I know i tend to have issues with tying all my wonderful little ideas into a solid mechanic lol

[Akal Saris]

Wow, interesting special ingredient - I had never even noticed the class before!

And congrats to everyone who is participating in #50 of the challenges! It's crazy to me that this challenge has been so successful :D (*knocks on wood*)

[Piggy Knowles]

You never know - my very first ICOC (Incandescent Champion) I got silver. Beginner's Luck is a very real thing here.

My first ever ICOC (Divine Crusader) also placed silver. There's no monopoly on good ideas or good builds - if you've got a cool idea, you should use it!

[Keynub]

Well.

I've been reading some past contests, and it seems that the build I was about to submit is oddly similar to the winner of a past competition. Shame, that.

I'll refrain from participating this round, and I might judge.

[Haluesen]

Well there goes that. Guess I'm not entering. I'll keep up in the contest though, see what goes on. I'm very sad to not have this done, but I don't think I'll have enough time to have it in before tomorrow. So I wish you all the best of luck!

[Biotroll]

Seems this SI is bringing bad luck. My build just fell apart due to mistake I overlooked until now. And I thought I was doing so well with [Redacted]. Maybe I'll be able to salvage something to still enter, but I doubt it.

[thethird]

Chairman I did a really slight modification due to [redacted] the whole entry should be on your private messages folder.

[dysprosium]

Well I got my first dish entered.

Don't know if I'll get to finish my second in time.

If I don't get to enter it, I'll share what would have been.

[Piggy Knowles]

My build table is complete and I've got notes for everything, but I still haven't really started on the build's write-up. Fingers crossed that I get some random inspiration soon...

[Deadline]

Got my dish plated and sent to the Chairman. Here's hoping I didn't forget something substantial in the last minute rush. I still don't like this SI. It's really ... bland.

[Kuulvheysoon]

Chairman I did a really slight modification due to [redacted] the whole entry should be on your private messages folder.

Yeah, I got [redacted]. I really like how you used [Nope] in combination with [Nuh-uh] to really highlight your [NO].

But, but... it's got Taint abuse, so it's awesome and powerful and stuff!

[Vaz]

Got waylayed by work, should be in tomorrow. I had a Second one on the cwrds not sure how that will work, however.

[thethird]

Yeah, I got [redacted]. I really like how you used [Nope] in combination with [Nuh-uh] to really highlight your [NO].

thanks I like that too

Although the main ingredient is slightly bland I think it is not bad. I mean we need to distill its blandness, go to the core of it and bring the tasty tasty tasty taste out to the surface and then build on it.

[Macabaret]

I meant to spend the day finishing up two builds today. But at 5:30 am (Central time), I became an uncle for the third time! (Whoo-hoo!) So, I'm off to the hospital. I finished (ha!) one of the builds up quickly and sent it in.
Good luck to everyone.
And a special thanks to all the judges!
