Are you one of the "Honest 200"?

Sep 19, 2012 12:41 PM

I am guessing that the emails will be going out sometime in the AM. If you clicked this then you know what I am talking about. This isn't the place to talk about possible cheating or how pissed you are that you found a sold out sign when you went for the Blunderbuss of Caprica or how upset you are that your early order was cancelled.

Just report if you are one of the "Honest 200" so we may congratulate you on your forthrightness... you goody-two-shoes you

First in regards to your initial question: I have yet to receive an email, so if they already sent them, I'm just outta luck :).

To me however, the most interesting part of all of this is the lack of crap! I mean seriously, all week last week woot gave away 10 PIECES of crap, not even Bags/Boxes.

Then they have a game, a game dedicated to an entire day of the woot-off (and another today) with only 200?? Its my understanding that on a typical woot-off anywhere from 2500-3000 of them are sold. I can see where the cheating/canceling order thing is coming from, but the larger picture would be that after an entire day of sitting at a computer, putting hours of work into it, the reward less than 20% of the people that they normally would. I don't like that. And if another SOLD-OUT screen is all I have to look forward to today then I'm just gonna pass, I learned a valuable lesson from @mkentosh yesterday. Don't waste your time. :)

Also not sure if you came up with it or not, but Crap-Gate 2012 is hilarious! Great tag choice!

"Honest 200"? This is a freakin' pirate-themed derby.

I didn't make any attempts at trying to get a BoC, but as an outside observer, woot, along with every one of the "Honest 200" is demonstrating every definition of "lilly-livered" in this situation. Grow a pair and admit that you were beaten by true pirates.

The only place where these "Honest 200" would deserve anything, in my opinion, is Communist China.

I am so happy I abandoned the treasure hunt early on yesterday.

@studerc: Thanks :)
@dmaz: The problem is that it was posted for anyone to see whether or not they worked on putting the map together or not. I doubt more than a handful figured it on their own... regardless stop taking my thread off topic! :)

@dmaz: You know who is president of the US, right? I think this nation is perfect for the "Honest 200".

No, but I also wasn't one of the "other" 153.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

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.
