Subject: 100% Evolved warrior on 94-nop
I'm sorry everyone, but this post is purely for the benefit of my ego
:)

I just submitted my first 100% evolved warrior that stuck on the hill
(actually, not true, I had one stick earlier, but it disappeared with
the next challenge). Its sitting in 16th place right now, which I'm
hoping will allow it to hang on for at least a few challenges. Its a
completely evolved paper, from start to finish, it took (very)
approximately 30 billion tries to get this warrior. I've had an (very
approx) average of 8 1Ghz Athlon CPU's working on this batch for about
the last 2.5-3 months (athough I peaked at about 60 ~1Ghz CPU's at one
point).

Anyways, I'd like to thank Joonas for his work on exhaust (and for
tweaking it constantly at my request), Wil for the evolver arms race
and many others from irc.koth.org for their help.

Your overall score: 128.723810
