A proposal to Team Anandtech Seti Classic.
Recent events stimulated some brain cells (those not killed by to many beers
)
What could we do as a Team....other than accumulate 12 Million + completed work units to our credit.
Members of this Team have been involved with Seti since its inception. Many for different reasons. Mostly, A search for........ HOPE...hope that we are not alone in the Universe. There is another search............now ongoing....HOPE....hope that they are not alone. :disgust:
Suvivors of a disaster of Epic proportions...all searching....hopeing......to find friends and loved ones still alive. It has been almost a month since this disaster.....at a time when many of us were celebrating the birth of what some concider our savior. A time when all of us of one religion or another were in celebration of Hope. The hope for the future for those that follow us.
I have often tried to describe our team, as many of you have......."Fun"..."Friendly"....Etc. I think "Social Responsibility" best describes our team. Over the years, team members have contributed to political victums.....those financialy devastated..... and..... many.......just misplaced by misfortune. We are one of....if not..... the most diverse and careing teams.....in terms of global membership. Governments, Companies, Individuals....all have contributed in one way or another to the Tsunami relief. Many....and hopefully all of us, have already contributed.
But, As a Team, we can make one lasting contribution. Seti Classic will soon come to an End. As a Team ...we have fought to achieve and maintain our current position......lots of drama between BBR and The TeAm. We have reached our glory....or have we? It has been said many times...within the posts on this forum......every Work Unit counts. Now we can make every Work unit count.
Here is my proposal: (ducks head...hands cover face to block tomatoes )
As a Team.............. WE put-up for sale on Ebay....the accumulation of our efforts. 5 million + work units....to the highest bidder. Proceeds to be donated to the Tsunami victums. We need a commitee to estabish ground rules ...like minimum bids....starting bid.....and bid threshold...the least we will take, etc. Someone should set up a poll for team members to vote on this proposal.....(I don't do good with polls).
Can you imagine the Press we would get? Can you imagine the prestige we would get?............................................Can you imagine the amount of help we could provide!
To help put someones life back together.....this to me, would be the ultimate satisfaction.
You all have to ask yourselves....and just think about the time, and energy that has gone into Seti...........what better way to give back to the world, for all the resources that we have consumed.....to achieve our world position.
What better way to end this phase of Seti...than to make all our efforts more than just a bunch of statistics!
