How come the Reckoning happened an hour early, this week?

Nov 6, 2012 5:23 AM

I was all set to buy the youngest his Penguin shirt before it was reckoned away and poof it was gone and it is not midnight. I only procrastinated because his size was not available and was debating getting him the larger size.

Has it always changed at 11pm or did the time change mess up the Reckoning? I have been told that I am totally unobservant.

The shirts that go away in the reckoning each week go the way of the dinosaur at midnight woot! time, same time as new woots... It's entirely possible the time change screwed something up. I would email service (at whatever their new email is) and let them know what happened, see if you can get an order in anyway.

If not, you can always head to the waters of the shirt trade thread and hope to spot it there in the right size (or post that you're looking for it -- you may get lucky and someone has it ready to trade!).

Wootbot refused to set his clock back. The developers will be having numerous strong talks with him during this next week so that he's on board with the time change next week.

Translation: I reported it to development; they acknowledged and are looking into it.

@thunderthighs: Thanks. I guess getting your work done early is better then getting it done late.

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.
