6 ramy shirts in the top 20... that seems like rather a lot! Anybody know the record for most shirts in the top 20 for an artist?

Edit: looks like Mavyn got them all!
from past experience, if your numbers aren't the same, they do like having more than one source to pull from, especially if yours are lower than mine. I opened the pages as soon as wootalyzer popped up, so close to 2:15.

If I'd had any numbers that were lower than yours, I would have left them up, but since I knew I hadn't been right on time, I'm certain yours are more accurate than mine.
Is someone planning to grab numbers at the end of the shirt sale?
Yep, I'm watching and will grab them.

It's only for an hour, during the woot off. The site never crashed for me...

In all seriousness though, this makes for a dull reckoning imho. I don't mean this as a knock on Ramyb per-se, so much as a desire that it be changed up. I almost wish that Woot would have a term limit or something in regards to number of prints that one artist can have in the cycle.
I mean, he has his own website for selling his stuff, and he has a six prints here on top of that, with a possible seventh in the fog right now.
I feel like a drastic change up needs to happen to the both the reckoning and the voting process to help keep things fresh. It would be nice if they just fogged all the designs and/or eliminated sorting by votes for a derby or two to see if that had an effect.
Does any one else feel this way?
NO. If he can consistantly make good shirts that are consistantly voted up and consistantly sell large volumes the *ONLY* reason to cut him off is personal: you don't like seeing *HIM* in the rekoning. I understand that you'd perfer this to be a forum on which artists can attempt to put forward less successful or unpopular designs in the name of art, but it's not, it's a retail outlet for shirts, and his sell.
Remember to that the whole Thank you/Appeal we saw for Nevermore about 2 weeks back was based on the fact that these people get paid for thier designs (though as narf has pointed out, not as much as when Nevermore started) and saying "no more ramyb" is the rough equivelant of firing him from his job because he's good at it.

Fogging is based on votes. By Tuesday they've had 4 days of voting, and things are pretty well set. It's possible to get an awesome design in on Day 5 of 7 and get it up through the ranks, but not easy.
The only real solution is to go over to a blind submission window, where all shirts must be in by day X, when submissions close, all shirts are posted up, So every shirt has exactly the same amount of time to get votes. The overhead on this would be pretty bad though, and you'd need more than 7 days in a cycle, which means and extra week of lead time.
