How can it not be flawed when mcphebe has the two highest scores and one of them is level "666".

I guess these bag o craps are for coders.

Originally I was only annoyed because I have a prosthetic right hand and can't play video games well.

My very first Bandolier Of Carrots!!! Member since 2005 and I've never been able to get one.....I'm usually too slow, or not lucky enough, or have too ancient a computer to handle to sudden pressures of a Big o' Cosmos stampede....but thanks to the 'hints' of generous fellow Wooters, I HAVE MY FIRST BANDOLIER OF CARROTS!!! *jumps up and down like an human*

This was a great idea...hints or not, I'd never have been able to participate at all under normal conditions (last Woot-Off I had seven browsers going on four different computers and two different phones, trying and re-trying to get through, but to no avail...that's usually how it goes for me...lol).

This is one time where wasting my morning at work reading through the forum posts really paid off...lol. April Fools to you too, WOOT! ;o)

(And I don't care if there's just broken junk in the bag. It's a matter of pride as a Wooter to have secured, at least once, a Big o' Cosmos. If they're three paperweights, they will be my three most cherished paperweights. *nods seriously*)

We, the Hitchhikers I beat the game but it wont let me order one. Every time you click "Order your Big Orphaned Cetacea" it just opens a new woot window and it start all over. I guess that's the April fools part of it.

jksonic wrote:Just a thought... They may be just moving the bar and advancing levels themselves. It says in the description that once it hits level 10 it's game over and all the bags have been sold. I have yet to see somebody actual say they won, so my guess is once it hits level 10 and is "over" we'll actually be able to buy the bags.

Problem is there is no way to tell when that will be...

Back during level six, I reached level 7 and when I died it said "You've earned the right to purchase a Big Orphaned Cetacea." Too bad when I clicked the I want one button, level 6 had just sold out...

Thought I'd get my first Big o' Cosmos ever (as I checked at 12:05am)... and then had to play a game to qualify.
Well, finally got the game to load, but by then you needed level 2.
Played about 5 times to beat level 2, only to find out you need level 3 now.
Then played about 5 more times before giving up as it's total luck
So much for finally getting my first Big o' Cosmos

You'll have to log in a whole lot quicker than 12:05 to ever get a Big O' Cosmos!
