Hey guys,

just launched an app like kittenwar but for t-shirts, check it out: http://tcritic.com/war/

the pictures of t-shirts are served up randomly in pairs and visitors vote on their favorites. You can upload your own pics and also add a URL and even a price that links back to your site.

Feedback appreciated,

Thanks so much guys, sorry about the dupes, I'm hoping that becomes less of a problem when I have more shirts on there :-)

I just realized the link to the shirts site does not show up in the results sidebar, I should prolly add that.



Thanks again for the feedback and adding shirts, great stuff :-)

thanks for adding the shirts everyone, i'm working on getting those bugs fixed, although i'm going to be driving across country for the next week or so, to san francisco so it might take a while for a new version. Will let you know when it's up.



Thx.

neat, but why is urban camo on the losingest :(
tcritic
tcritic on Oct 01 '06 at 2:10pm
well the winningest and losingest are based on a percentage, so I think some wild swings can happen early on, ie. if you lose your first battle you have a 100% losing ratio. Hopefully it will even out the longer a shirt is on there. On the bright side, the winningest and losingest pages are the most viewed apart from the front page :-)



I like urban camo!

I enjoyed it...but Booyah v Booyah came out.

I have someone looking into the "booyah" bug. It seems that once you've gone through a certain number of shirts booyah starts competing against itself. It is alphabetically the first shirt on the list so i wonder if the problem starts when it goes back to the begining. It is supposed to pull images randomly, and it is supposed to never compete against itself so something is tripping it up.

I wonder if you can insert a code in which once the choices were exhausted, you are sent to a different section of your website.

Thankfully the bug is fixed where t's were competing against themselves, go ahead and check it out at http://tcritic.com/war/

and add a shirt if you like.
