I approve this. I want a derby inspired by Bradbury novels. No pop culture allowed. Woot needs to get on this.

Isn't Bradbury technically pop culture? Maybe non pop culture but Bradbury....

bounty42 wrote:Isn't Bradbury technically pop culture? Maybe non pop culture but Bradbury....

I had that thought too.

Pop culture currently rules the top of the reckoning, this may be something they want to keep around.

Boy, you're *really* cranky!

It wasn't necessary to read every gripey post from the thread you were complaining about to respond to the content of *your* post in which you took them all to task for debating the realism of fantasy images. Reading for content works both ways.

Normally.

Instead, I guess I'll just prepare for tomorrow night ...

I did the same thing in my head and for some reason feel the need to call myself out on it. "What IS he going to do tomorrow night?"

So... Formula for Success shows in the Hamper of Fame as best seller. Poor Binge, he don't get no respect.

Well, now it's showing Shhhhhhhh! as the best seller.

Right now, it's not showing anything for best seller!

In other words, another night, another night of kvetching about the broken wreckoning ...

Kvetching? Who's kvetching? I am just good ol' fashioned frustrated that Reckoning is still broken. I want my numbers back...

bluejester wrote:Kvetching? Who's kvetching?

Pretty sure Narfcake was kvetching "about the broken wreckoning" in the post above yours.

Not a good week for anxious ones (like the n.o.o.b.s convert). No surprise that Iron or Gold is the top performing one. And it's always nice to see a walmazan doing so well, but the rest seemed to be stuck in the basement.

Oh well, I have my Free To Go. Though I kinda of wish it wasn't on the edge of going.

BTW what are the numbers at the start of the comments? It says Woots Sold: 2209 on Thanks For All The Fish and bragging rights says sold 4,297 shirts.

Just point me to the answer if its already been asked and explained. I'vr been rather busy this week with a store site launch myself (I'm the developer, not the store owner).

Can it be? Has The Binge been outsold?? Why is it no longer in the Hamper of Fame?

Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. Stretch out with your feelings!

Indeed I was. Not doing too well of a job complaining, though, was I? ^_^

The number issues that loridi mentioned is among the reasons of the complaints ... and why I can't post baselines or nightly numbers.

Nope, in a quest to fix the numbers, they broke the Top Seller by Numbers. NARF!

That's actually the question De jour. I Think we're seeing "orders" vs. "Units". No one's quite sure why it happens, but every shirt does it (drop by about half) every night around 12:15.

Traditionally Nobs that don't have 4 weeks in them (most) but get past week one (half) jump out after noon Friday to cruise the low teens (17+). Remember that the forumala Woot is using is "this is all the Sales until Monday". For late week shirts, now to monday is 50% of the window, whereas 4-week shirts now to Monday is only 5%. as both of those numbers approach 0, Nobs move faster.

Maybe it's time to do some other projects? Analysis of sales for the last quarter based on color perhaps?

bounty42 wrote:That's actually the question De jour. I Think we're seeing "orders" vs. "Units".

Interesting. So the high number is units set to print vs. the lower number being actual orders. It makes sense, and also indicates that the "how many to print" function is fully automated and tied to the site. That would be cool.

Or go outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Weather bug on my phone reports 74 and mostly sunny. I think it lies.

No, I mean I order 2, you order 2, Narf orders 3, Mavyn orders 1. The ORDERS is 4, the UNITS is 8.

bounty42 wrote:Maybe it's time to do some other projects? Analysis of sales for the last quarter based on color perhaps?

Nah. I'd update my personal list before I'd start a new one of questionable importance.

What is there to update, given I haven't been buying much? Well, I just haven't been buying here; I'm still buying in the secondary market, so.

Mavyn wrote:Weather bug on my phone reports 74 and mostly sunny. I think it lies.

Does it use accuweather or the national weather service? I find with any tracker that uses accuweather you can safely assume the opposite of what it says. I only checked for a week (where the assumption held) and just deleted the addon when we had thunderstorms with Twarnings, it said it was sunny.

No clue. SO uses accuweather, and we're about 50/50 in terms of who is right. The past week, forecasts for 24+ hours our have pretty much changed on the hour.

And 50% on a forecast isn't bad, but if they can't get the weather that is happening for the lastn6 hours and in a 50 mile radius of me (I even checked to see if they had the right zip code)? Not worth keeping.

I kinda like weather underground, but never looked for an app/widget/addon from them.

We've been knocked down to discussing the weather? What has happened to us?!

quabaq wrote:We've been knocked down to discussing the weather? What has happened to us?!

The weather has numbers. The reckoning has numbers. Neither has any basis in reality.

Since I am in San Francisco where if you don't like the weather just walk a few blocks, I don't care that much how accurate the weather report is.

But being one of Narf'sNumberNerds, CPA division, I NEED accurate Shirt Woot numbers!!!!!

What we really need is a rational explination for why most of the number nerds are in California.

Nononono, weare discussing weather apps and prediction. Completely different.

Narfcake wrote:Indeed I was. Not doing too well of a job complaining, though, was I? ^_^

I read your post as "I've said this before. [Insert usual complaint here]; it's not worth my energy to type the same thing I say everyday when woot isn't listening."

blanked wrote:Does it use accuweather or the national weather service?

Are there only two services that distribute weather info? Never thought about this before. I use the Weather Channel app; like the previous version, not so much recent version. Embarrassed to admit I am more likely to check app than look outside before getting dressed.

TheGolux wrote:But being one of Narf'sNumberNerds, CPA division, I NEED accurate Shirt Woot numbers!!!!!

That sounds like an army. Do the other number nerds have titles or divisions too?

bounty42 wrote:What we really need is a rational explination for why most of the number nerds are in California.

Or a gathering of number nerds.

squabbit wrote:Or a gathering of number nerds.

No, I like my head where it is thank you.

squabbit wrote:Or a gathering of number nerds.

Yes! We need a number nerd convention. In fact, does Woot! ever have conventions?

TheGolux wrote:The weather has numbers. The reckoning has numbers. Neither has any basis in reality.

I think this is my favorite Reckoning quote in a while...

@squabit

More like those are the ones I know. Tho I think the weather channel is the national weather service.

bounty42 wrote:While we can't say "it was this" with out numbers, the pattern tends to be that when a popular shirt starts to flail, it's because it had a bad 2 week run. While it's flailing it'll post record numbers, to help offset the flail. 2 weeks later, when the low weeks drop, and the "save weeks" are the bottom two, it shoots way up to the top. People feel safe, stop buying, and it coasts on 2 Awesome weeks while getting two bad weeks.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

I think the key to Binges sucess is that it NEVER leaves 10-15. So long as it posts that sweet spot every week it never has a bad/good cycle that puts it in danger of falling.

I'll admit I'm not keeping up on the reckoning the way I used to (the switch was a big hit, and I liked the numbers as much as I like the shirts) but it does seem that there is more movement in the top few than there used to be.

I'm wondering if at the same time the numbers went away, the formula changed.

We would need an average purchase of 2 shirts.
