Already have my 3 pieces taped together, it's so pretty!

The Main woot tab from what I've noticed... I could be wrong.

Just on the main woot site.

I hate that cause there is always at least 1 box that is left clicked and something stupid installs and messes things up. Also, DID NOT mean to offend anyone with the spamware comment. Just so annoying when people do that. Didn't mean to accuse, just... I just fixed everything back again because of bloatware programs installing stuff behind my ... wallpaper. lol Anyway, I'll check it out!

I confess, I don't actually know what the Windows installer process is, because I don't use Windows.

My coworkers must think i'm crazy. I already got my scissors and tape out. I feel like I'm in kindergarten again. I need to order some paste.

Brings back memories. :D

Oooh! And now that we're, at least technically, "grownups," no one can stop us from eating it! A perk of old age!

I call the Poop Deck! heheh poop XD

I admire the scissors and paste people, but the reality is, once you print out the last piece and put it in place and see what you're supposed to do, you will find yourself looking at a "Sold Out" button for a Buccaneers of Caribbean

Any speculation as to how we'll have to use the map once it's all there? Seems like there won't just be a URL on the final piece. I'm thinking the red letters have something to do with it. Either we'll have to put them all in order in a woot.com URL, or they will unscramble to form some other word.

Or are they actually clues to a path we have to take through the woot site? Maybe like the old choose-your-own-adventure Buccaneers of Caribbean

I hope my work does not interfere with being able to finish this effort. I haven't been able to score a Buccaneers of Caribbean since December!

I do preferrrrrr this method to having to reload the page all day and night only to have the Buccaneers of Caribbean pop up when I sneeze and *POOF* Buccaneers of Caribbean arrrrrrrre all gone.

I've never gotten one, so I can't really sympathize lol. Someday it will happen, but probably when I'm 90 and can barely lift the package from the front door of my assisted living apartment.

Second the motion, or aye aye, or something.

Thanks for getting that stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

The question is do we really need all these pieces, or just the final one with URL on it?

Hopefully there is more to it than that.

Arrr.. I not be worried. I'm sure that Crapbeard's booty be ample enough to handle every sailor that approaches it.

... what?

When you see it, click through to that sale's detail page, and look for the map fragment.

Put the map fragments together throughout the course of each day - there'll be one map on Tuesday and one on Wednesday.

THEN ALL SHALL BE REVEALED

How exactly do you put the fragments together? I'm clicking on it, and nothings happening...

Dude, they are map pieces. Y'know, like a puzzle? Fit 'em together!

What shall we do with the Tuesday Wootmap?
What shall we do with the Wednesday Wootmap?
When will we have all the sandy pieces?
Earligh Thursday* morrrrning?

(EST)

OK I FOUND THE PIECE ON THE CURRENT PAGE HOW MANY DID I MISS AND HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PUT THEM TOGETHER ?

The only other thing I can think of is that if you look, There are letters in red. Are those letters going to be a special promo code, so it also knocks off the price of a Buccaneers of Caribbean I remember a few years back when they had one pop up, the Bandolier of Carrots was ridiculously expensive, unless you put the code in, and then it was normal price. I'm still wondering about the red letters though.

Not really. It's actually pretty simple to go back and find pieces. Think about it. When one pops up, people are going to comment like crazy about finding it in the items' discussion. When you get a chance, just go back over the past woots and browse through the ones with the most comments. Skip over anything with only a few comments.

try that on a 15 inch laptop screen ! half the page is off screen already

so how many have i missed and there should be a way to piece them together without printing them out !

Only 3 pieces so far yes?

I just used the Win 7 built-in paint program. You can use the "select" tool in freeform and turn on transparency...

Man is this gonna mess with my Borderlands 2 playing. And don't forget tomorrow is "International Talk Like A Pirate Day" start practicing now

I wonder how many pieces there are, I'm guessing 9 or so.

Although, at the rate this Macbook is selling we may never see another piece!
