That's my worst Winter-bash since 2014 (or perhaps even since 2013). I'm missing more hats this year than I missed on all the winter bashes from 2015 to 2019 combined. Still it was a much better winter bash than the recent ones in terms of new hat designs and triggers. And the Unicorn hat was a great idea.
I would have gotten Eliza Doolots too if I hadn't lost more than 600 rep for deleted users during WB. If only they deleted those users two 2 days earlier
@Eran Thanks for your UV as well, some upvotes were coming when I posted that answer, and so I added some details and documentation links and iit got even more :-)
Sometimes I wonder, when a balloon pops, we say:
Oh the balloon exploded!
Instead of:
Oh the balloon imploded!
When a balloon pops, it becomes smaller. As I see it, the meaning of "imploded" is:
collapse or cause to collapse violently inwards.
Wouldn't it be more typical if we say "imploded"...
@Panda I might have been wrong about Eliza Doolots trigger. My count was wrong. Without the rep lost due the removed users I only have 1743 rep since the start of WB. Not sure I'll reach 2021 in time (even if the rep loss doesn't count).
Do you think that if I had an accepted answer on some question, and one of the competing answers later received enough up-votes to have a higher score than my answer, I'll still get the Movin' it up hat?
For example, if the 0 scored answer here - stackoverflow.com/questions/65404938/… - got 2 upvotes, and passed my +1 accepted answer, would I get the hat?
I'm not sure if the answer should be accepted after a higher voted answer already exists
I have this answer I did yesterday on SO:
Convert type str (with number and words) column into int pandas
And I got my tenth upvote today. So I got the Nice Answer badge an hour ago:
https://stackoverflow.com/help/badges/23/nice-answer?userid=8708364
But I was a bit confused that why I didn't...
Congratulations @Panda for obtaining the 41th hat! I can get two more (Gimme Space and Take This) to get to 40 if I delete one of my accounts, but I don't feel it's worth it.
(I doubt Moving on Up was intended to work with self-accepts, but hats off (pun intended) for finding/trying this out.)
@YaakovEllis hope I don't bother, here is Q about the Edwards Hat. I made it to 5 Q, all UV, but the hat was not triggered. Then the last Q got closed by mod 1 hour later. the playground is "Seasoned Advice".
