Okay then who did you tell me you lent the card too Paco? I know you loaned it to Scotty.

hwbot cater to hardware sharers and cheaters, they've even developed a new revision just for them. How have you not noticed this with your background in pcmark05 cheating?

[Mr.Scott]

It's true, the 7950 I'm using in the april comp is Frank's (MrPaco), all the other equipment is my own. As I understand, the team type monthly challanges encourage team members to use the best of what they have as a team to enter. It's not the same as benching for personal points, and I have not benched this card for anything but this monthly contest, and will not. I know what the rules are.

@ AN (Opty) - You just couldn't stand the fact you couldn't get by me could you? So you try to pull a bunny stunt like this? You should be ashamed of yourself. I thought you were bigger than this.

[mr.paco]

Hardware sharing would be me sending MY mobo & my cpu & my ram & my psu & my gpu after I benched it to some one else so they could bench it and get double the points. And that was not done.

[Mr.Scott]

Haters gotta hate. Now I know how OCA feels.

Opty, aka "ANM", to the best of my knowledge no one on our team has used the same piece of hardware on the same benchmark as any other team member. There is more than one nvidia video card in the world and more than one ATI card, too for that matter.

This problem you are having is beneath you. AFAIK, even if what you say were true, it is no violation of the rules for this competition.

This is a "Team Competition", not an individual competition. Only the best score is counted for each team. Please let the imagined non-fraction go. We'll all (and that includes you, my friend) be happier as a result.

as long as rules are followed, this issue is solved then.

Thank You

You're a bit late Barton, Mr. Scott already laid out that he's using Mr.Paco's card.

Isn't this a clear cut case?
Sharing hardware for points is illegal, plain and simple.
If you're both/all submitting 3d benches with the same 3d card in the same bench and getting HW points out of it, that's breaking the rules for HW sharing.
If you're only submitting for the contest and not getting any points it's a gray area. Given the wording of the rules it's illegal, as the rules talk about "submissions" rather then "submissions for points". I personally have no issue with this though, it's a team contest after all!

Honestly though I doubt anybody will do anything regardless, enforcing rules doesn't seem to be HWBot's style lately.

[Mr.Scott]

If any points are involved, I have no problem submitting for no points, as it was not my intention for benching this. My intention was for my team to win the April Challange, that's all. I could care less about the points structure here. Being mostly grinders, we get screwed anyways. The last revision cost us 1400 or so team points, this revision change will un-doubtedly cost us again.
