Now that we're settled on the team captain and name (finally, no chap counting involved ), let's sit down and talk about the real business, which is to mow other teams down like usual. The details of the whole challenge is almost complete and I did a quick pop in the OCAU forum to kick their ass so they can get the head unstruck and finish their own stuff
I have looked at some of the smack talk and I'm very proud of our teammates, especially alan2308 Let's continue to stir things and distract them while we can gear up for a crushing victory. Please keep this within the forum rules on all the teams forums because we are a real team and we can talk without resorting to childish manners.

Basically, here's the steps you need to participate in the challenge :
-Around may 5th at 12:00 PM PST (noon), switch the boxens to fold under [H]ardApe and team 33.
-Sit around, toss some monkey poo at other teams.
-Borg more (remember, the answer is always "D").
-...
-Profit
-Switch back to your usual routine when the challenge end.

The winning team will get the coveted jaded monkey and the loser will get a cursed and dreaded monkey paw. There is no monetary gain for winning, only the honor to be the best (or the worst ) and ultimately, it's for a good cause toward the science progress on understanding proteins folding.
