For hat dash, the seconds are wildly different for my similar scores, I wonder if that tripped the anti-cheat and got me banned from the leaderboard? 🤔
@Scratte Ha! That's pretty interesting. I hadn't seen that post, and was just wondering if I could get the hat notifications to be an absurdly high number.
@kylejrp Not exactly sure, I got it on SO. I'm sure I didn't do any actions today so it's likely not the "Search / visit for x consecutive days" type of hats.
Nah. Just ads. But the announcement banners are annoying. The review indicator just disappears for me. It's on on many sites so I don't even notice it that much. I do use it to get rid of things on FB that piss me off like the marketplace.
I need to keep the experience as close to what users see as I can... since the only way I have to emulate it is through socks and I don't have any high rep ones.
@Catija Initially I started using it due to lower social sites notice. "Not the answer you're looking for.. " Now I use for ..half the stuff on the site :)
Accessing Hat Dash
The Hat Dash game can be accessed two ways:
Controls
To jump, press space or ↑. If your device has touch controls, you can press the touchscreen to jump.
To duck, press ↓. This reduces the size of your unicorn. If you duck while jumping, you will drop faster than normal.

@kylejrp For extra confusion chat will show your local time, unless you're looking at the transcript which will show the time in UTC using am/pm formatting, for extra consistency ;)
You can check the difference in timestamp easily to opening up a message in a different tab by right-clicking the triangle/bar on the left side of the message.
Cordovan is definitely for commenting under a post (question?) and then the post getting edited. That's the only thing I've done on stackoverflow today and I just got that hat there.
I got balalaika during the last hour or so. 2 hours ago I earned the quorum badge 5 hours ago I commented on a question, and then closed it. (I was the last close vote needed)
@Jesbus Does your meta post have 2 Answers and is it a [discussion]? Soapbox: "Ask a question with the [discussion] tag on a meta site that gets a score of 2 or more and receives 2 or more answers."
@double-beep I don't think so.. ? I'm pretty sure I've seen users get the hat even if theirs was the first, but not the only comment. And others getting it wasn't the first commenter either. Mentioning that as to not confuse anyone.
@YaakovEllis I understand that you don't want to reveal the anti-cheat heuristics though, so whatever you need from me in terms of debugging I'd love it send your way! I don't need to know what I triggered
Nope. I haven't flagged anything at all during Winter Bash. And I got it. I think I got it around 12:00 or 13:00, but I'm really fuzzy about the timing.
Here's how you can see parenting on the all rooms overview. The meta icon means "No parent" as far as I understand it, while all the others have the icon of their parenting site.
@LaTeXer "User was removed". I lost 4 in my tag score and went from 101 (bronze badge) to 97 (no badge). The lost unicorn points was at 22:38 on the 17th.
Hmm.. browsing that leaderboard got me in trouble with the server: "Too many requests. Wait 40 seconds before requesting this resource again." I was just trying to find myself and I didn't find a search option..
Are privilege requirements the same across all sites? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it for me to try and earn 1.2k more rep on SO before the bash is over so I can get the reviewer hats 😅
The "This is fine" was about acceptance. The Disciple was about following. The Social distancing was about being here/there. The Cordovan was about editing unclear Questions... I'm pretty sure the title can be worked in somehow.
If Disciple was a "listening to music" based one and involved following, is Balalaika continuing the "playing music" metaphor and would be about having a post that is followed? 🤔
I cannot possibly tell if anyone is following any of my posts. And only one of them could have triggered a notification. Which was when we tested if commenting and getting tiny-votes would trigger a hat.
@kylejrp I got notified that a post I followed got an answer 9 hours ago. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to get the time a hat was awarded.
Yes, they had help from Catija to figure it out. One user got it and no 1 reputation user had answered their post. Or so they thought. It turns out one had, but it was deleted.
