2021 HasLab - Black Series Rancor

[JediJman]

So, a guy on Facebook from the UK just posted a screenshot that shows the Rancor is already listed as fully funded.  Shenanigans? A-yep. 

Funded.  Unreal.

Yeah...nothing shady about that at all.

Weird.  When you click on the rancor itself, it shows the total is still less than 9k.  I wonder if it got moved simply because it is already closed for orders in the UK (ended midnight their time) and is sort of in limbo for them, not yet funded but also not yet unfunded?

Definitely not a good look though...


In other news, we're at 6957, which leaves 2043 left to go... or about $715,000 in real dollars needed in the next 3 hours.

[Mister Skeezler]

Yeah, it's probably more a case of bad UX, but still feels shady.

[JediJman]

Here come more shenanigans.  Orders per minute has raced up to 5 over the last 30 minutes.

That intern better start punching the orders received button a little faster.  They still need 12 per minute to get there in the next 2 hours 45 minutes.

That UK screen grab doesn’t actually seem to say it was funded, only that is has moved to production. Which I think is probably the default status if the deadline hits overseas first.

Over 7100 now, so getting more interesting for sure.

I don't know - why would you have a default that something moves to production if it hasn't crossed the threshold?  Wouldn't you set your default for unfunded until its actually funded?

~7168 backers as of 9pm CT today
~1832 backers needed to fund the project
~11832 backers needed to unlock all tiers

Ending in 2 hours:
~1832 / 2 = ~916 backers/hr to fund
~11832 / 2 = ~5916 backers/hr to unlock all tiers

I really hope their shenanigans are super-obvious - I know there is a late funding rush on these things but over $640k in funding showing up in the last 120 minutes will seem really suspect given the pace we've seen all day.

[Matt_Fury]

Hour nd 35 minutes left and we're at 7,302.  It's going to be close.

[Jeff]

Entering the final hour!

~7467 backers as of 10pm CT today
~1533 backers needed to fund the project
~11533 backers needed to unlock all tiers

Best hour we've seen all day was the last one, which brought in about 300 backers - but we need 5x that this final hour.  (Unless, of course, shenanigans.  )

edit:
10:15pm CT = 7572
10:30pm CT = 7749
10:45pm CT = 7931
10:50pm CT = 8037
10:55pm CT = 8189

1200 1000 in 23 10 minutes?

[McMetal]

1200 in 23 minutes?

Now less than a thousand in 11 minutes! 

I can’t wait to see how this turns out when all is said and done.

[Rob]

Needs 900 with 6 minutes…

[Rob]

850…. 4 minutes.

Who are all these people who order with 5 minutes left?!
