You don't toot your own horn so I hope you won't mind if I rephrase that - it's not a "perfect" snapshot of all stats at exactly midnight Central time because it takes you a lot of time to do... AND you do it every single night at 10 pm Pacific time, pretty much without fail. For all of us who read your stats and enjoy what they contribute to the reckoning, thank you!
This is what I would say if I hadn't been beaten to it.
I'm just hanging out, really.

Warm! So warm! I feel all fuzzed and furred (Edit, update: oh whoops, nope, that's just the Lycanthropy--disregard that part. DISREGARD THIS EDIT AS WELL IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU) and cuddled right proper in my long-sleeved Khione. It's like a good-night hug from a thickly knit and well-aged fairy-tale blanket that's your best imaginary friend ever from all those scary invisible-monster-sitting-on-the-corner-of-your-bed nights. SO GOOD. SO COMFORTING.

I know Khione isn't going to make it past this Monday, so all I can do is plead that people buy the shirt (in short- or long-sleeves! Choice: you have it!) while they still can. I cannot stress enough how damned gorgeous the shirt is!
Look at that design! How delicate, yet solid! How beautiful, but not florid! How the colours and lines flow and swoop like ancient art spirits in a smoothly layered drug-trance winter ballet! The richness and warmth of the gold! The almost alien strength of the child's stoic face! The nobility of the reindeer, all regal and blinged and "don't you worry, no pain here--I got this, kiddo. We will complete our quest. I will deliver you to your love. Your heart-given gift of old demands my service of gratitude!"
My gods but you need this shirt. You want this shirt. You have to buy this shirt while you still can. BUY THE SHIRT! BUY IT NOOOOOOOOooooooowwww.....
I'm not quite sure how I feel about wearing a "drug-trance winter ballet" on my torso, but DAMN, that's a good-looking shirt. So glad I caved and spent the $20!

I really like how they are ten bucks when they come in, and fifteen isn't so bad, unless you are buying Christmas gifts and are a college student and are buying 7 of them. Adds up. Can I receive any kind of discount due to the larger order?
I'm not woot, but I'm gonna go ahead and say nope. Honestly, 6-7 shirts isn't that big of an order. We wooters are serious about our shirts. If you got a discount, then I'd damn scream for a discount, too. And so would everyone else. Thanks for liking and gifting woot, though! Welcome to the club!

When you consider that we are limited to one order per day with a max of 3 shirts per order, it seems that Woot isn't even interested in big orders.
Actually, you are only limited to one order per day of the new shirt-of-the-day on the main shirt.woot page (the one that's $10 for the day).
All other shirts on the reckoning? You can buy them as many times as you wish in one day, albeit with the three per order max. So, in one day you could make three orders of three Binges each, four orders of 2 Khiones each, one order of the shirt of the day, one of 3 It Came out of Nowhere, etc. No limit!
(A big part of my "woot stats" number [being better than everyone else, that is] has come from me buying one shirt on the reckoning only deciding 15 minutes later that I want another of that same shirt.)
