This is crazy. Right now, an average of 25 sales a day, and they're still bound for the chopping block.

EXPAND THE RECKONING, Woot!

Wow, the Firefly shirt is lasting here about as long as the show did. :sighs and dreams of cancelled TV paradise:

This is going to be a really dramatic reckoning. Inevitable Betrayal will probably make it out, so shirts like Questionable Table of Elements and Unstealthiest Ninja have to struggle for survival.

As for the cheese... I'm afraid that its time may have come.

Narfcake wrote:Grade me while I do the baseline for this week ...

I'm chest deep in code, so I don't have time for the specifics, but you did about as well as last week.

But I do have a question for your prognosticating highness...

How many noobs will escape this week? There are 4 out already. Inevitable Betrayal seems...well...inevitable. Does the Doctor have a chance?

cartercommajon wrote:Wow, the Firefly shirt is lasting here about as long as the show did. :sighs and dreams of cancelled TV paradise:

Ummm ... the week JUST STARTED. Give it time!

What?! Cheese and Questionable Table in the danger zone? Unstealthiest Ninja in the twenty spot?!! And all on a Monday! What's with all these new shirts taking over the chart? I finally get a job and stop spending a quarter of my free time on shirt.woot, and the whole reckoning goes ass over teakettle in a matter of a few weeks?! No sir, I don't like it. Humph! *flounces away*

P.S. I'm extra huffy because I meant to pick up "I'm here to rescue..." before it got reckoned, but I didn't get the chance. Grr!)

P.P.S. I second Narfcake's call to expand the reckoning. It'd give you a chance to use that expanded printing capacity for something other than first-day blockbusters, woot!

It's a scary reckoning when a shirt that sells nearly 4000 copies on its debut day (Inevitable Betrayal) doesn't even start out of the danger zone. Buckle up everyone, it's gonna be a wild week.

Let the carnage begin!

I wish I could just buy all the shirts in one package for a discounted holiday price....Hint Hint Hint.

grahamcrackercoyote wrote:Let the carnage begin!

I'm wearing Khione right now. It's such a beautiful shirt that I hope it makes it out of the Reckoning, but doesn't look likely. If they aren't combining the short sleeve & long sleeve numbers on that one, they really should.

I've passed it along, which guarantees nothing except that you've been heard.

This is hilarious:

Most Lady-Friendly.Run Away! Run Away!
sold 0.21% womens' sizes

So, does that mean that the shirt I bought my daughter is the only woman's sized shirt sold this week?

Wootoff sale today likely.
Should be interesting.
I wonder if the discount will apply across the board?

Well at least that's no longer true.

I still haven't washed/worn my I’m here to rescue… uh… yet ... so give me a very convincing reason to part with mine (size ML) ...

190+ woot shirts ... I'm bound to take a while before a shirt goes into rotation. Sometimes, a very long while ... I must not be very motivated. ^_^

Actually, it's Robert's great suggestion. Click the link.

Uh Oh.

It looks like the mouse placed the exit portal in the wrong place!

I came home fully expecting a woot off. Curse your small white boxes of misleading information, woot!

Noooo, little mouse! Don't listen to GLaDOS!*



*Slightly spoilerific if you have not played Portal 2, just FYI.

I'll agree with you that it's going to be a week that sees several popular shirts shuffle off this mortal coil.

However, I'll disagree that IB's debut is anything but expected. It's all but impossible for the 3rd place derby shirt to debut high, and realistically it will nearly always be in the Danger Zone.

A Sunday shirt has only one day of non-debut sales, but that 1 day is spread out over 8 days (total non-debut days until the end of it's first reckoning).

So let's say a Sunday shirt sells 200 on Monday (that's a pretty good day). Woot-accounting says that's a DSR of 25. That 25 might be out of the danger zone but usually not by much.

IB is a good shirt, with excellent sales so far, which is why it's already shot up to #16. In most weeks it might make a run for #1 later in the week, but Dark Knight and Escape are going to prove tough to hurdle.

Narfcake wrote:You think so?

I guess I'm wrong, then.
Tricksy tricksy woot.

Not necessarily. Schrödinger’s Equation was a Sunday 3rd place winner, had over 4K in sales, and debuted at #6. Granted, IB sold roughly 20% fewer than the cat, but it nonetheless had a very solid day and ended up with over 4K sales by Tuesday morning. That is why I was surprised to see it start in the danger zone, although Narfcake accurately predicted it.

Moot point now, it's out and kicking ninja butt (sadly).

The Reckoning main page just had a really weird hiccup and most of the shirts didn't appear. [Takes a bite of the veggie burrito inspired by the discussion over at the daily shirt thread].

citizencoyote wrote:Schrödinger’s Equation...debuted at #6.

The exception that proves the rule?

Point taken.

As of this posting Ninja, QTOE and Cheese are in the Danger Zone...WHAT?!?!?! Is the world coming to an end?!?

Is the Long-Sleeve Ninja affecting the sales of the Short-Sleeve Ninja?

Somehow it never fails - the shirt I really want falls out of reckoning a day before I get paid.
*sigh*
So much for grabbing the "I'm here to rescue..." shirt.

Narf, that's the size I want if you're willing to part with it.

aramis525 wrote:Is the Long-Sleeve Ninja affecting the sales of the Short-Sleeve Ninja?

Probably, which is why I just updated the links in the quote here ...

It's going to be obvious to us regulars here that if we're going to save a shirt this week, we'll have to focus our efforts on one.

I have a sneaking suspicion that unstealthiest ninja and questionable table will both survive this week (and with relative ease, at that), although I've been wrong before. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Narfcake wrote:SO PLEASE BUY THE SHORT SLEEVE UNSTEALTHIEST NINJA shirt instead!

I've been thinking about Ninja for quite some time, and I figured I'd save my purchase for whenever it needs saving. So come Monday morning, if this is that week, I'll pull the trigger.

Thank you. ^_^

Agreed, let's save Ninja! Come Monday, I will be buying another one for me and one for my son! WE CAN DO IT!

From your keyboard to the Shirt.Woot gods screens!

About time we got rid of the bad shirts. ;)

I'll put in my two cents-

Easiest Thanksgiving Recipe will most likely stay in the Danger Zone, QTOE might make it out, I fear for Cheese, I'm not seeing much hope for WTD and Khione, and NPA could go either way. Triumph took quite a hit thanks to a lot of high-ranking noobs, and I wonder of BOP's numbers are high enough to keep it above the Danger Zone. No comments on the Ugly Sweater, though.

Wow, three 10 week + lasting shirts in the danger zone? We'll see if that holds, but that would alot of long lasting shirts to go at once.

Looks like your efforts pulled Unstealthiest Ninja over Breakfast of Plumbers for all of an hour, only to be overtaken again. But there is hope in a few forms, it doesn't look like Everything is Gold is doing too well.

Something like that... more precisely it only counts shirts sold today, that are not currently today's woot.

So at the time the shirt you bought may have been the only woman sized shirt sold today that is not High Cholesterol.

Although really something doesn't add up, since that would imply that at this point Run Away! Run Away! had sold almost 500 shirts today... which is not accurate since The Dark Knight has only sold 254 as of now.
