David's hat store

I never want to refresh my profile page.

@HeidelBerGensis that is exactly what I said, except in my case it was for blender.se

@David you have all the tabs still open, too?

@HeidelBerGensis I'll make the hat room :)

@X-27 I have had an uncountable number of SE tabs open through this entire WB.

@David ping me next year. I am always in Travel.SE's chat room

I was in third on Blender.SE and I was in 36th on the entire network.

@HeidelBerGensis I'll try to remember.

@David just remember this: the guy who promised to beat you next winterbash ;)

Goodnight all. It's been fun hatting :-)

hats are dead. The CMs have forcibly taken our hats and put them back in boxes!!!

and It was hard unlocking some of those boxes!

who can spot the difference?

you changed the button form "I hate hats" to "I love hats"

yep! grr, too easy.

@Pops thanks for a great event!

were we good enough to get to know how the color flip flop was chosen?

@Pops When do we get a blog post revealing the triggers for the last two secrets?

12:28 AM

(I didn't get any coal for Christmas.)

and I wanted coal! once I have enough I'll get a steam train. but no coal for me either :-(

I missed the gif chance ;-;

GG all. I call rematch next year!

Congrats on the network leader, @Quill-HATMANIAC, @David, and @BhargavRao

Congrats on Code Review leader @Hosch250

12:31 AM

Congrats on giving me a run for my money.

@David you're on

hey, does anybody know what was the most hats on one single site?

TBH, I wasn't even trying until I found I was leading with some 20 hats.

@Quill-HATMANIAC :)

@David I have 32 on CR, but I heard 33 on SO.

I don't know the latest count.

12:32 AM

@Hosch250 does that mean I won???

Maybe.

34

I reckon Archimedes should've been given out to every site when you get one

nevermind. wow @BhargavRao has 36 on SO

@David 36 on SO.

12:33 AM

yep :)

what's that naming trick? to circumvent the 30 day rule?

Pity I didn't get Explorer here: opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/2254/…

I was kind of hoping for it, even though I wasn't trying when I posted.

@Quill-HATMANIAC Rename on a different site and apply across the network.

@Quill-HATMANIAC how long have you been on SE and you dont know that? (join a new site, change name, make changes to all accounts)

12 months, and yeah...

Q: What should we do for Winterbash 2016?

@David Last year, we had three name changes inside a day. This year, we have 1.

I don't know why it is getting so strict.

Any new ideas for next year:

This is in the same vein as Winter Bash closing remarks - ideas for next year as What should we consider for next year's Winter Bash?. I figured we might as well have one for this year. . . So, Winterbash 2015 is over. The hats have been put back into storage, the snowflakes are gone, and the ti...

@Quill-HATMANIAC Nice job this year, by the way.

How many hats did you end up with?

@HDE226868 ^^ that many

39

@David did you get the second page?

HDE 226868

Wow. Nice job @David and @BhargavRao.

@X-27 no, but you still can

Thanks everyone, it was a lot of fun! Congrats to the leaders!

@Quill I've sent the last set of guesses and went afk, @Pops has not responded - I assume the theory was not correct. Anyway, it was a nice Winter Bash! Thanks!

1:56 AM

Guess for Edward Edwards: Earned bounty, lost checkmark.

Probably been guessed before...

3:48 AM

@Pops let us know when you make the blog post concluding the bash :-) I'll admit it was fun - much better than 2014

@randal'thor Thank you. Congrats for finishing with 36 hats :)

@Hosch250 Thanks and Congrats for leading on CR!

@HDE226868 Thanks a lot :)

Q: Is there a way to find who earned a specific hat on a specific site?

1:47 PM

@Hosch250 nope, the EE on blender was and still is accepted.

The mystery of Onion Knight is still bothering me...

This needs more votes :D

Let's say I want to figure out which users on [site X] earned [hat Y]. I can, of course, go through and examine each hatted user to see what hat(s) they have. On most sites, however, this is incredibly tedious. Is there a search functionality of some sort that I can use to figure this out? If no...

@David You're welcome!

@X-27 Working on it today.

@X-27 I'll be sure to post a link in here once it's up.

@David It was based on your secret Winter Bash-internal user ID number. Everyone got one (that you didn't see) that was constant across the sites. If your ID number was 1000, and you earned Flip Flop, then the system would load up The Picture of The Dress, look at bit number 1000, and if it was 0 give you black/blue or if it was 1 give you white/gold (or the other way around, I don't remember).
