Can everyone please try to star this message? Maybe a hat waits for the stars?

I'm kind of worried of the too many hats related to upvoting...

I will admit to nothing

@Wolgwang Hey :) @YaakovEllis told me this was the most fun spot on the internet today and I gotta be a part of that.

Also - quick reminder - please don't use this chatroom to ask for permanent votes on questions / answers across the network. (In other words, nothing reputation-changing.) Thank you!

@nobody Last year we didn't have a former mod on Puzzling making the triggers. :D

@Slate and I will get together next week (it is my weekend already, I work Sun-Thurs). If there are undiscovered hats that we are definitely not going to use in the future, I think that we can reveal them here. Sit tight!

Hat Update: I voted is being awarded for both up and down votes

Y'all are assuming that the criteria for Defender has been unchanged since the start of the event. Any worthy Defender should know that they need to be flexible, and adapt to circumstance.

@YaakovEllis Can I bribe you with an upvote to reveal E-pic after WB is ended? ;)

Winter Bash doesn't mean you can ignore the standard rules about SE, including "Don't post off-topic"

If we are, we apparently suck at it.

@Wolgwang confirmed

@nobody Eight have been discovered. Five, I've seen someone almost say the trigger to the hat, or even sometimes outright say it (but not ask for confirmation). Eight more hats remain past those, many of which will be awarded with increasing frequency. So, I'm hopeful.

All the bots got this hat and this is the only thing they do.

@RafaelTavares This chat gives the hat-aches ;)

@Catija So is downvoting a major function on sites to rank posts. Your comment was far too "one-sided". All that is being rewarded is those carelessly upvoting what maybe shouldn't be, and not the "rep-hunter hat" rewarding users for answering 10 questions in a day, and other for answering thirty, with no consideration to the quality of the questions being answered? Where are the nods to site janitors?

Also I would suggest to mention @richardec who became 6th and best "rookie of the year" for their 1st time participation. It was great fun, looking forward to WB22, thanks

@YaakovEllis ask a question without the letter 'E' in the title, right?

Dec 23, 2021 12:48
@SPArcheon I did?

Dec 20, 2021 03:28
21 hats now

Hint: Some hats require you to take actions on the site to obtain them.

There do seem to be fewer easy-to-get hats.

@Dharman I was lazy, search a website to do it for me on brute force

@U12-F̉͋̅̾̇orward yes! Secret hats have secret descriptions. :D

4th time got place in blog without getting 1st position, not bad
Jan 6, 2022 23:05
Let... Yaakov... sleep? I am not sure I understand the request. Hey Yaakov, can you help me understand what this sentence means
Jan 5, 2022 12:00
Goodbye hats
Jan 5, 2022 10:42
I'm about to be 5-year hat king of Ethereum (with barely any contest tbh). It ain't much but it's honest work
Jan 5, 2022 09:36
that said, it would probably be simpler to just join up and make a collective effort to build an actual custom Stack App that adds hats all years long
Jan 4, 2022 11:50
@U12-Forward Really? If that were the criteria, wouldnt the hat have been earned many many more times?
Jan 4, 2022 11:22
@YaakovEllis The stats page is extremely misleading. I voted on Dec 15 at 12:00 but was awarded the hat only after more than an hour.
Jan 4, 2022 05:10
@user1271772 you earned it. I'll get it to you soon
Jan 4, 2022 03:28
Waii what! WB ends tommorow

@U12-Forward No idea why it hanged, but I rekicked the awards process, all should be flowing now

@YaakovEllis At this page, by hovering your mouse over the text that say "2 days ago", you can see that in UTC, all 14 of my answers were posted on 28 December 2021. Out of these 14 answers (all posted on 28 December in UTC),

Nope. Yaakov was here 5 minutes ago, said nothing, deleted nothing.

Part of the problem is that inspecting the first page turns up the same text as is contained in the 4th from last paragraph of the second page (so that extra work puts us no further ahead); and where we are proceeding is unclear. --- They should have just given us the URL to the quiz.
Dec 23, 2021 17:37
@CloudCho Yes it is IMO
