Rules are as follows:
First, find a person who is not currently a member of Team MacNN.
Next, talk to them, buy them drinks, flirt, beg, cry... Do whatever is necessary to get them to join Team MacNN (for any one of our three distributing projects).
Once this person joins the team and starts crunching, get them to personally post in this thread.
They should post the following information:
(1) The name of whoever got them to join
(2) The project(s) they are running
(3) The account name(s) they are running under
It is not good enough that they just join the team. They must remain active. Thus, for every new (and active) person that joins, the Team MacNN member who convinced them to join will gain 1 point. When the contest has finished running, each person will get to put their name in a hat (once for each point he/she has).
The name that is drawn out of the hat wins the use of Scotttheking's 1.47 GHz Athalon for exactly one week. This means that for 168 hours, Scott's Athalon will crunch for whatever project the winner desires under that person's account.
This contest will begin when reader50 and Scott say it will. It will carry on for a specific amount of time to be decided upon by the aforementioned parties.

-installing SETI on my Dad's unused Pismo 400-
I'll ask him for permission sometime later. At the moment it is under my name, should I make a new account for him or can I get these to go to my account?

The point of the contest isn't to find more computers for yourself. The point is to introduce new members to the team. Hence, if you can convince your dad to actually become a team member, crunch for us, post on our message board, and become an overall contributing member of the team, then it will count.

Well, actively participating in the forums is probably the least important part. The most important thing is getting this person interested in distributed computing and loyal to Team MacNN.
Scott and reader, any ideas/thoughts on the contest?
