Dammit woot

The game should at least not have IMPOSSIBLE obstacles that line up exactly so that there's just no way to proceed.

Oh, and it would be dandy if it would load, too.

whats frustrating is making it far enough in but then once you die you dont get an option to buy, just an error message. what the hell?

@jdpman: Yeah, getting to level 4 was great, until I couldn't get it to let me buy a BoC.

@dravack: Until the sslwoot.woot.com side of woot is back up and running the game won't work.

@jdpman: https://sslwww.woot.com/Member/YourAccount.aspx check your account and when that is back up and running then you can try the game and it should work.

@coolphilip04: The problem is it has been working intermittently. But it always seems to die whenever I've made it far enough to buy a BOC.

Fine, woot. You've broken me. There are five lights. Whatever.

I'm going to bed.

Are you happy now, woot?

@anotherhiggins: I called this Woot's Kobyashi maru on facebook, so I appreciate the 5 lights reference.

Is this an bad April Fools joke? I have been trying for hours now and I keep dying when there is nowhere to move to. And to make it worse the levels that must be completed to get a BoC keep going up!! When I started it was at Lv3 now its at Lv5.

i got a BOC at level 3. yeah, there's no way to avoid those roadblocks, just gotta get very lucky I guess.

@junkmail320: Probably. Thats why I'm giving up. On this and on Woot no more purchases form me for a month (apart than the free t-shirt they just gave me) I so beat this thing -.- http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b219/MikeLee420/Untitled-1.png
Don't care if they post Ipad 2s for 15$ I'm done. Ciao and good luck to you crazy people who keep trying.
5 hours of trying is just to much work for me.

I personally love the idea, at least it gives me a CHANCE at a bag o crap! Good job Woot for keeping things interesting, no matter what these other d-bags say ;)

Originally I was on a quest to procure me a bag o' crap, but now I'm aborbing the valuable life lessons that Crapshoot is imposing upon me. Because of the various death scenes (and I'm quite confident I've seen them all), I am now aware of the benefits of a low-sodium diet, avoiding being a couch potato, taking out the garbage, and yielding the right of way to monkeys on rocket-propelled skateboards. I might not win a BOC today, but I feel like a better person now.

All in all this worked out to be a pretty typical dash for a BOC - except I got to play a crappy flash game while failing.

The worst thing of it is was actually beating the appropriate level last night, but the game crashing/hanging and never displaying the "game over" screen for me to click on the buy button.

Nobody is complaining about the bots getting in before the humans on this go around though, which I think is awesome. Everybody had an equal chance to be aggravated and exasperated.

Congrats to the winners!

After admitting defeat last night, I took a couple of minutes to get some stuff ready for work and decided to give it one last shot before going to bed.

The game was working again!?!?

So, of course, I spent another hour playing the freaking game. But the good news is that I finally got through. I got a Level 3 BOC on both my and my wife's accounts.

I tried to win another BOC for a different stage because someone here said they were able to do that in the early levels, but woot seems to have closed that loophole during the (seemingly) HOURS they were off line.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
