Kilowat, even though you mean well, separating the mini-teams out of the stats is not a good idea. Should we also separate out everyone by keyrate?
How do people handle it when someone assimilates a work herd, and their keyrate shoots up and blows you out of the water?
How do people handle it when someone assimilates a lot of friends, and their keyrate blows you away?
Should we segregate people by ranges of keyrates? Those with 30K and more use this proxy, those with 20K and more use this proxy, etc., just so people don't have to watch those with higher keyrates and get upset?
I mean get real folks. There are members with higher keyrates and lower keyrates. There are groups of people cracking for the same email who have high keyrates and low keyrates. Deal with it like you do any other person that is out of your competition range. Ignore it.
We are getting an uprade of PCs at work. The email I crack with is going to see an increase in keyrate. I will be passing teammates, and I still won't be able to catch up to some. That's the way it works. But it all goes to Team Anandtech.
Whatever happened to a friendly wave as people pass by?
We used to cheer each other on when someone increased their keyrate, because it mean that Team Anandtech's keyrate was increasing.
I personally think that we all are frustrated with the DPC's major keyrate increase, and the seemingly slow ramp up by TA to offset it. But instead of really focusing on /. and DPC, we turn on each other. I've been through this kind of thing in other high stress team situations.
We need to regroup, rally around, forgive and forget, and refocus on the important goal of overtaking /. and fending DPC off.
I remind us of the way it was, not to frustrate people and get them to leave, NO, I'm saying we have a choice. We can choose to fight and bicker amonst ourselves, or we can choose to treat each other as the team mates we are, and work together to become #1 overall and stay there.
Let's go Team Anandtech! 😀
