Yeah, but I was hoping for something BOC related.

what if you get >20k score for each body part? you get a question mark man... maybe that gets you a BOC :)

Yep, I went through and bought all of the best upgrades (which have the BOC question mark on them). Sadly, I wasn't given a BOC. My robot is pretty sweet though.

This link is supposed to show my robot but it just pops up the game (). I'm guessing the 19s signify which upgrade you received for arms, legs, body, and head. Once the images start working I'm guessing you can check out different robots by inserting different numbers in place of the 19s.

According to the newsletter, they'll be giving away Crap on their Facebook page – where you have to a fan of course.

"All week on our Facebook page, we'll conduct lightning giveaways of the same kind of garbage that goes into the Bag o' Crap, one piece at a time."

@sportster25: You do not need to be a fan. I do not have an account and I have managed to get a previous offering on facebook.

@pattiq: I am a dumbhead - how do you manage that without being on Facebook?

@jjkehoe: You can view the Woot facebook page. When the boc is posted, it is a link you can click and be taken to a page to buy. They have sold out quickly in the past so you still have to get lucky to get one.

@pattiq: That method makes sense. It's of course easier to see the link posted if it pops up in your feed than randomly refreshing their Facebook page.
I was going off of this line from the newsletter, "Just remember: You gotta be a Facebook fan of ours to win…" but what you're saying definitely makes sense. Thanks for explaining

Well, I guess that safely means I'm not getting anymore BOCs.

Oh well.

@sportster25: I have not received the newsletter yet. I have only read the digest. Maybe the rules are different this time.

Yep, I can get 20k points on each level pretty consistently except for the "dark" level. I cap at about 15k. Any hints on how to score more on that one?

This is going to be different then a BOC, the "pieces of crap" from what I understand is going to be a free giveaway, no purchase necessary. It will be an offering of random junk around the warehouse of stuff they want to get rid of. Not sure if there will be an actual BOC for you to miss out on.

No luck getting one playing the game here either. Me + 2 coworkers. What's the secret!?!

Yes, but I can't be bothered to play it right now.

The newsletter mentioned a BOC on tech.woot, but I took that to mean "Borg Of Crap" itself.

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.
