Witty comment on reckoning (pending numbers).

How did Artichokey get so high in the rankings?

Only two ramyb shirts in the reckoning?!? Is that a record?

Trying to find a witty comment to match this since "that meta are we" followed by *raspberry sound* doesn't seem high brow enough.

aramis525 wrote:Only two ramyb shirts in the reckoning?!? Is that a record?

In some weeks he was down to only a half (collab).

Also, back in #200, he was one shirt away from not making it.

Otherwise, his 3+ year record of continuous presence in the reckoning still stands.

Boring day today. No Reckoning stats to record...

I have enjoyed looking at interesting shirt sales.

Funk Buddies - 6003
When Knight Falls - 6033 (the number should change but I had better stay the last wooter)

Will Nevermore NEVER die?! I just don't get it. The Binge however I totally get. I think it may be in my nephew's future.

Thank you for your negative comment. You just bought it another week.

Just think of this like #195 again ... I didn't seriously start tracking until #196.

Well, we have stats links back! Too bad they do not link to accurate stats.

Forever Toasty is listed as "Sold Out" from the Reckoning page. Guess we're still working out the "shirts for sale" bug! Woot is loading at the speed of molasses for me; if it's any faster for someone else, could you spot-check the other Reckoning shirts to make sure their sales links are active?

Yeah, June's not going to be a good month for stats. Hoping July looks better.

When I read this, my first reaction was, "Someone shoot me if I'm still here in July."

Not sure if I was thinking of woot or real life.

Yes, we were being oh so careful about it last week and it stayed around. Flat out negatives tend to help even more.

Where are the numbers? All I see is the "dashboard" view.

We got no stats to weigh us down,
And some shirts can not be found!
This makes me fret
And makes me frown
'Cuz numbers give us glee!

j5 wrote:Where are the numbers? All I see is the "dashboard" view.

Likewise, I haven't found them either. Some kind soul with better woot-fu point us in the right direction?

It's been refreshing to see so many new artists being selected as derby winners the last few weeks. Let us hope that trend continues, it has been a breath of fresh air those checking out the reckoning.

What derby are you watching?

j5 wrote:What derby are you watching?

I think he is just referring the the fact that it's been about a WHOLE month without ramyb winning a derby.

(Seems to have coincided with the thread about him "borrowing" ideas from other artists for his own shirt website)

It better be just Woot ... FWIW, I've been lessening my activity here too.

newnie wrote:(Seems to have coincided with the thread about him "borrowing" ideas from other artists for his own shirt website)

You mean that grammar lesson thread? ^_^

Why are Graiiiinss and Pangaea: Supercontinent listed as being 2 weeks on the reckoning list? They should be marked 1 week with a "nube" banner.

Narfcake wrote:It better be just Woot ... FWIW, I've been lessening my activity here too

Checked on some other t-sites as per your earlier mention of who sells American and found one that features a lot of the artists featured on Woot and sells American AND sells 3X. Thanks for steering me there. I won't abandon Woot, but my buying activity will decrease.

Some (but not all, look at "Cheater" for an example) shirts give a "Woots Sold" number in the WootBot post at the top of the discussion thread. But those numbers are clearly wrong, so I don't know what that means.

I was thinking last night that Woots Sold was the number of Woots, not the number of shirts. Also it may or may not be taking into account Woot-Off and Amazon Site sales.

bounty42 wrote:I was thinking last night that Woots Sold was the number of Woots, not the number of shirts. Also it may or may not be taking into account Woot-Off and Amazon Site sales.

I suppose that's possible, but it seemed like all the "Woots Sold" I could see were in the 6000-6020 range. This makes me suspect it's some kind of placeholder, something we probably shouldn't be seeing at all.

To add to the numbers confusion: The sales stats for "Forever Toasty" said this morning that it sold 1000 copies on the first day, but now it says 1018. Does it now track sales past the first day? *edit: I see that it probably does, the number has gone up a little more*

Also, the stats sheet says "Order totals: Reserved/Sold/Shipped 18 of 20,000. That can't be right... It should be 1018 of 6000. I guess it's all mixed up right now since the change. I imagine they have the real, accurate sales somewhere!

I'm grading notebooks today - no media allowed so I stay on task - but I just read the Shirt.Woot FAQ page for entertainment during a break - HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!

On top of that, the number on the comments page shows up as 543. Mass confusion ensues!

Also, I don't understand what Woot has against putting your work on an apron. I think the Phoenix would have gone perfectly in this week's side sale, er, WootPlus. Since I can't have a Makin' Bread apron, I'd totes go for this one as a substitute.

Just a friendly ponder... all the new shirts are in the danger zone. Maybe that says something about the derby topics lately? Not to say they haven't produced some awesome stuff...

No numbers still, so I'm not gonna bother with the ranking tonight. Besides, there are a bunch of PMs I need to respond to ... which I WILL get around to tonight.

Anyways ... here's Nevermore (which was ordered last Tuesday NOT during the woot-off), new on left, old on right:


Oh! Mutating Goodness, it's readable! Of course, there had to be a catch ...

(sigh) ...

The red shirt is my older copy of The Heart Goes On; keep in mind that I DON'T throw my shirts in a dryer, so it's not like the old neckline would've shrunken down in any way.

It may also say something about how the woot-based DSR works, which disadvantages newer shirts.

Email, on the other hand... (just kidding; I'm not actually expecting a response.)

ARGH! That stinks. It didn't switch over until Thursday evening.

I was surprised by the difference in the two Nevermores and couldn't help wondering what you have done to that poor bird. For comparison's sake, I went to take a picture of my old and new versions of Nevermore - and got quite a surprise that I wasn't expecting. Pictures in next post..

Bring back Spectrum please...

Hey Ocho, to answer some questions, the page woot sends you for sales stats does track sales past the first day. The number sold on the first day is shown on the top left and should be - xxxx of 99999. As far as the reserved shipped sold, that's the number that they have actually mailed out and has left their shop so far. That number should start to rise dramatically as most of the orders for smart post are fulfilled. To get your total sold then you would add those to the first number of the three listed (I think I'm not looking at one of those pages right now). Does that make sense, cause I think I confused myself. PM me if you need more info.

I just realized something. You said 18 of 20000, if that means what I think it means that means they've raised first day sales to 20000 from 6000 effectively making it impossible now for an artist to sell out on the first day. Yeah Woot

(Sorry for the delay; when I taught the dogs how to communicate that they wanted me, rather than 'outside' or 'dinner,' or whatnot, I imagined that it would eliminate a bunch of tantrums. It has, but I did not realize that it would also mean that I could no longer pretend that I didn't understand they were asking for me.)

Nevermore:

The one on the hanger is my old copy, about 14 months old. The one on the right is new, a back-up ordered about a month ago before it transitioned to Anvil; it's never been washed. The first thing that struck me is that they're different colors! The new one is much lighter than the old one. And then something else caught my eye.


They're not the same size!!! The newer one is about an inch longer and slightly wider. Mind you, when I say they're "not the same size," they're supposed to be the same size.


I wondered if this was because I'd washed one and not the other, although I wash my woot shirts on gentle in cold water and hang dry, so I'd be surprised if I could lose an inch of length and 1/2" of width. I decided to compare two other shirts, same color, both unwashed: World 1-1 Building and Relative Dimensions, the latter of which I'd noticed didn't fit right.

Relative Dimensions underneath World 1-1 Building.


Comparison of sleeves:

The sleeve on World 1-1 Building sets at least 1/2" further down in comparison to Relative Dimensions. If you don't have a bust, you probably have no idea how the set of a sleeve can make a huge difference in how a shirt fits, but let's just say that - on my body, which is a fairly typical "hourglass" shape - this is the difference between being flattering and pulling too tightly over the bust. Part of the problem with the length is similar: the longer length "catches" around the widest part of my hip, while the typical AA WM is a very flattering length. After trying on Relative Dimensions, I honestly thought that I must have gained weight because it was too tight in the bust and the hips. (I can't believe I'm discussing my body; thank goodness I am never going to meet any of you!)

Necks:
The neck on Relative Dimension is considerably narrower than that on World 1-1 Building; not that big of a deal, but it's a little uncomfortable.

You're being more timely than I have been! Anyways, that's just strange for the lack of consistency. I'm not denying it doesn't exist, but just that my experience has quite positive over the years.


- Lemon is a recent copy of Artichokey.
- Red is a 10+ year old shirt.
- Black is a several times worn/washed Unstealthiest Ninja that's less than a year old.
- Eggplant is a blank that's a couple years old.
