Hello happpy new year!

@David Thank you again, David. Would you please answer one more question: I am still relatively new to SE, so I am not sure what they are looking for to get the 2020 glasses in a chat room. I don't know about the stars, in particular. What do I have to do please? Thanks again so much for your help.

@PhishMaster as an example see this message how it is "starred" (star on the right of the message, and shows up in the side bar) That is what the trigger means "post a message in an associated chat room that gets starred." "associated chat room" means one that is linked to a site, not like this room. So for example you would go here post a message and get it starred.
Then you'd have the 2020 hat on chess.

A: Suggestions for Winter Bash 2020

U10-Forward - Reinstate MonicaFor Werewolf Hunter certainly yeah, it has to go, it didn't provide help to old posts, instead it provided work from moderators, to rollback, everyone just randomly pokes in and out few characters which doesn't help at all. This year we still don't have flagging hats, last year we didn't as well...

@David Is it fine to award my bounty for getting Philantropist now?
Anyone want to star chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/48225330#48225330

@U10-Forward-ReinstateMonica I would gladly, but there is no option. Do I need to join a different SE group to allow me to do that?
U10-Forward - Reinstate Monica

@PhishMaster True, oh, the way would be go on stackoverflow.com, and hit the top right corner to join than you can, you don't have to do it if you don't want

@David Thanks. I hope for at least two more tomorrow. It is not easy to do in the chess SE.

Huh. Weird. Took a while for meta to realize that I'd earned Eliza Doolots. As in, I earned the hat just now (on two sites) but I rep-capped on the 23rd and 24th (and 790 rep between then and now)

@AJ I could still technically get 31 if I really tried, but it looks like I'll only need 30 to be in first since @David has already said there is no way he can get Universe Brain

@AnkitSharma the bounty started yesterday, and all answers were posted prior to that. I'm not sure if the answer that gets the bounty must be posted after the bounty begins, but I'm quite sure the competing answer must be posted after it begins (in order to be eligible to automatic bounty)

Me neither. I was thinking of trying for a 29th hat (living in the future), but that still won't bring me to 1st, so I'll pass.
In the past 5 winter bashes I got 168 out of 176 hats. Not bad

Q: What does 'discarding a question' mean for the Rubber Ducky hat?

Simon FraserApparently I need to press the discard button on a meta or main site to get the Rubber Ducky hat. However, I do not know how to discard a post. Is that the same as deleting it?

Q: Hats sometimes break the alignment of `{asked|answered} <date>` text on user cards

HolyBlackCatIt's easier to explain with a picture. Normal behavior: Hat is too high up, the text is misaligned:

welp, bash is almost over.
I do hope they do an end-of-bash blog post.
@AlexanderO'Mara I don't get it... what is wrong there?
Alexander O'Mara

@X-27wantstoReinstateMonica Double-down-vote in an effort to deny me a hat.
At litterally the same second, just a bit before the bounty could be awarded.

ahh. I've never done anything on that site so I can't see vote counts XD

I put out a call for help on here and some friends on Discord, looks like someone came though.
I think my suspicions of strange voting behavior on some content has been confirmed.
X-27 wants to Reinstate Monica

marginally sketchy, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't beg for votes this time around ;)

IMO, it's ok so long as you don't explicitly instruct someone to vote a specific way.

yeah, but the network wide leaderboard is the main one.

Well, there can be multiple winners on each site, and for all of SE.
