Staff

Time again for another march toward t-shirt doom! Discuss this week's life-or-death struggle for sales supremacy as chronicled on the Reckoning page all week long.

Here's how the Reckoning week runs now: every Tuesday at midnight, we retire the previous week's lowest-selling shirts and launch this here discussion thread. Tuesday around noon we'll post the all-new, all-early Reckoning Recon. On Friday, we'll juice demand and prime the pump with a little weekend reminder post. Finally, on the following Monday, the Day of Reckoning post sounds the last call for the Reckoned shirts. All of those posts will be linked below. Monday night (or Tuesday morning), it starts all over again. The Reckoning, she is a hungry beast...

say no to scurvy??? I'm so confused, is this a joke about the longest running being so close to getting reckoned or just a tech glitch?

I think that the reason "Say No To Scurvy" is suddenly in the Longest survivor spot is because for some reason they are now factoring in it's breif return this past Christmas season.

It's also weird that Puss in Boot doesn't show up as a newbie "foal", but if you look in the last reckoning it was a bystander.

It shows as 2 weeks, but was last Monday's shirt (maybe it always does that and i've never noticed). But i swear i've counted 7 noobs normally on Monday morning....

It's Woot's word changing filter.

Something's definitely screwy with the reckoning, and that's all I'll say.

On an unrelated note, I'm enjoying the flurry of kitten related shirts on Reckoning this week. There's Lucky at Last, Nyan's Dream, and The Artist (winners of the Kittens! themed derby), along with Curiosity, Puss in Boot, and today's Woot- ProCATStination!

Yay for Woot kittens!! =^-^=

I'm seeing some crazy glitches on the reckoning page this morning. I only see the top 9 shirts and the danger zone is completely missing.

Edit: Also this took almost 10 minutes to post.

With the busted wootoff all night, I thought I would get a bit of sanity back by going to the reckoning. Hadn't been here for a while, and even here things weren't showing up correctly. Now that I got back on the site, what do my sore eyes see?! How does a shirt that was only around for little more then a year(Nov. 2, 2007 to mid Feb. 2009) become the longest selling shirt? It would appear it was brought back before Xmas last year(2011) for a special. This info was taken from the comments.

Woot! do you ever have a bug. Didn't allow for that in the database, did you.

Although any shirt that made it for more then a year(or some other reasonable period of time) should go into a Hall of Fame and have a special day(week would be better) once a year to allow us to replace our frayed, faded, outgrown, lost, stolen(most likely by a family member) or "before my time" Tees.

I'm sure this is not the first time this has been suggested. I just wish someone at Woot! would take it to heart and do something about it.

Woot offs tend to cause surver unhappiness. Not saying that's the cause of the nevermore/scurvy glitch, but possibly.

My speech is not splitting. I am speaking in Cthulhu.

All of these stats reset at midnight on Tuesday after the Reckoning, so at the time you looked Family Breakfast had only sold one shirt since midnight. The stats will settle down as the week progresses.

The current glitches in the woot matrix however are amusing. Neo, is that you?

It is 2012, maybe the Mayans were right. ;-)

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Mayan Long Count Calendar Tee. Did I miss it?

I can only see the top 5 shirt available. It's not fair to the artists (myself included) that have designs on the lowers spots right now. Our designs aren't getting any exposure / sales.

The woot-off is going on the main site, it should go into tomorrow. No reckoning sale yet... I wonder if they will detour instead to the side sale like they did last time?

No Barrel of Crops either. Waits for it.

Thanks Diana, although now I'm a little more confused because I thought a Woot-off *was* a 1 hour reckoning sale.
