And again didn’t load until it was sold out. I hate this only 50 irks each time as it rewards those with decent internet connections and punishes everyone else.
@Kidsandliz I have gig fiber and I have yet to win one today. I don’t think it has anything to do with your internet connection. I will say that I haven’t had to deal with a single captcha today and yet I still fail to win. It makes me think I did and then says FUCK YOU…“WOW, THESE ARE SELLING FAST AND WE’RE BUSY PROCESSING OTHER ORDERS. TRY AGAIN IN A LITTLE BIT.”
@davidd13@jayman007 I don’t recall the delays as long though in the past for the page to load. Yes there are fewer so they will sell out a heck of a lot faster (I’d rather have fewer rounds with more in each round of them), but I think their servers are being really slow then if it isn’t my internet.
@phendrick I wish I knew. Normally I have to deal with it every time but today I have just had to check the box and it was happy with me. Still cock blocked by the scrolling green bar of hell which gave me hope that I might win one but no such luck.
@jayman007 I don’t think I’ve ever been let off for an Irk from having to do one. So far today, I’ve had to do at least two of them every time – and usually pretty vague and pretty unclear in the pic. [Is that a hill, or not? Traffic lights – does that include the pole, or the square with just the faintest edge of the signal? If it asks for car, does that include bus, etc., etc.] Why not just show me a book or something and ask what color it is, multiple choice style? I’m slow on those, because I am always just trying to interpret the instructions. And it is further frustrating that it never gives feedback on how correct it thought you were, so you don’t gain any understanding of what it considers a correct answer, to learn for the next time.
@Madboy121 Yeah it is really pitiful. If they had more than 50 per run it would be better as then those with slower connections would have half a chance.
This is the worst performance I’ve seen from Meh in several years. Its almost as if they switch to another even more mediocre service for the IRKs then switch back for the t-shirts
@Pony Yeah-- Us too, new baby 7/6, followed by a trip to the NICU. Between lack of sleep and spotty cell reception, I think I was only able to ‘refresh’ about 3 times. Oh well.
All fucking day with the same bullshit, the site keeps filling up the green bar like 10 times for it to say there was a problem placing my order and of course when you click again they’re already sold out, same shit all fucking day, I’ve tried every time
@mistamoose Same. I gave up long ago and simply don’t even bother anymore. It’s like playing a slot machine with even more wasted time and disappointment.
Are there any restrictions on people buying the IRKs, or can one dude with gigabit fiber in Texas buy one every time/write a script to buy them and hope the captcha doesn’t kick in?
Received my IRK… it’s um full of regret, that’s for sure!
Black IRK recycled bag, I like that it’s a larger shopping bag.
Gift Bag with Popsicle Print (You’re such a treat!)
DORCY Aluminum LED flashlight
Tudia Universal Car Mount Window Kit (brand new, sealed, and defective. Button/Lever is loose and stuck inside)
And a giant white textured mat, with PALM logo carved into it, and it has a sticky back like you’d mount it somewhere. This thing is the size of a full desk pad or a kitchen anti-fatigue mat, no clue what it’s supposed to be.
Found the cause of the Tudia failure… the button is supposed to be part of the suction cup, there’s a plastic piece that both are supposed to be mounted to and that plastic piece broke in half. It is fixable at least.

@Kidsandliz Yup, I have played along all day and have been green barred each time. I am done.

@jayman007 "I haven’t had to deal with a single captcha today " – how did you manage that?
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
@phendrick I wish I knew. Normally I have to deal with it every time but today I have just had to check the box and it was happy with me. Still cock blocked by the scrolling green bar of hell which gave me hope that I might win one but no such luck.

Thanks for the reply.
@jayman007 @phendrick Just wait until you get the motorcycle one and you have to also click the bicycle before it thinks you have them all.
Screwed by the server again!
@jnicholson0619 Yeah me too. Better they have fewer of these and more with each one. Gives those with slower internet connections a chance.
Another endlessly scrolling green bar…
@katbyter same
Didn’t load until it was sold out. In over five years, I’ve never seen Meh’s server fail so badly.
@Madboy121 Yeah it is really pitiful. If they had more than 50 per run it would be better as then those with slower connections would have half a chance.

0 for 6 attempts today. Meh still thinks I’m a robot, too.
green bar of sads. grrrr.
Nice. Multiple Brin Page Corporation hoops and then the order form loaded with no item. Fucking brilliant!
Please wait until 2021 to ship mine. I don’t want any of this 2020 bullshit
Get a load of this mehmber, thinking Meh can get their shit together enough to ship within 1 1/2 years
I missed getting one this time around. I’m in the hospital again, and wasn’t able to keep up with things. Bummer.
@Pony Yeah-- Us too, new baby 7/6, followed by a trip to the NICU. Between lack of sleep and spotty cell reception, I think I was only able to ‘refresh’ about 3 times. Oh well.
@Pony You doing OK?
Incognito. Who would have thought…

@truquito I have been having the same exact issue. Makes me think I won one but then FAIL.
I got the processing bar of doom but then the order went through. In the past I havent had to fight the processing bar the same way
I have tried during every Mehrathon and have yet to score one. I actually have come to the conclusion IRKs don’t exist
I’m done trying.
@mistamoose Same. I gave up long ago and simply don’t even bother anymore. It’s like playing a slot machine with even more wasted time and disappointment.
i should have stuck with Woot
11 green bars and Oops, sorry.
Happy B-Day to Meh! Perhaps it will get to me by my b-day in August

@IndifferentDude I was thinking it was this:
For those of us trying to get one, we can claim to have been given a whole day of regret for our piddled away productivity
hmm, do giffys work the same as that other game?

Between last night and NOW, I come close… But have yet to snag the elusive IGT at any price
I am chest fallen, and questioning my wifi speed. I have also proven myself to have a MEH OCD condition.
Are there any restrictions on people buying the IRKs, or can one dude with gigabit fiber in Texas buy one every time/write a script to buy them and hope the captcha doesn’t kick in?
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
@Felixaurelius one a day. If you try to purchase more they will be cancelled.
@tinamarie1974 oh, awesome, at least there’s that. I feel a little less bitter now, lol.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!

Nevermind… tried fixing it, couldn’t get a strong enough bond the plastic snapped again. Regretful.
