WB always reminds me how annoying the repcap is... 400 rep blown today alone to the repcap :D
Strike that, almost 500.
there's a chatroom for Winter Bash? dang
usually is
it's where satan hangs out to buy the souls everyone's selling
i'm not sure i'd like to be in a room with satan ... /s?he|they|it/ might have covid
(mhm, gender-neutral satan)
I think the feminine form of "Satan" is "Santana"?
6:39 PM
@AdrianMole Carlos?
That's the fella.
@AdrianMole hm, didn't know that
Every day's a school-day, huh?
speaking of school days, i just had a 1-question semester exam
("just" = about half an hour ago)
Multiple choice?

@Yaakov does the Rep Hunter hat have to be 10 answers to different questions?
@Rob I am pretty sure that's not possible.

Not any more, deleted.
Vexillologist maintenance redux: So. Um. You know when I said before how I hat to reset Vexillologist because of the logic being wrong. So I messed up the boolean logic in the fix, and we're going to a (hopefully final) reset within the hour. Sorry about that y'all.
:eyes:
@Mithical they do not have to be to different questions. But only counts if they are bit deleted or closed, and all of them have a positive score
@Rob not anymore
@Mithical I don't want to even calculate that one for myself
9:40 PM
just checked again, it's 720 rep today lost to the cap for me

Q: Do you see a way to cheat at Hat Dash?

Yaakov EllisAs some users have reported, some suspicious scores are beginning to crop up in hat dash. I have some heuristics and rules in place (more to come as well) to catch some of these automatically (or with a few manual steps from me). That said, I am interested in keeping things fun and honest for all...

@YaakovEllis okay. so I'm assuming that's only going to get awarded after midnight, and so if it's not there when I wake up I'll consider it a bug :P
Saw that Q, instantly started trying to cheat. I imagine I might catch a ban for the way that I've currently got it running on my side (it's pretty blatant)
Gonna let the score get up to something super ridiculous and end it.
Yeah I put an instance of 50k and an instance of 100k onto the leaderboard. You can kindly kick those off if you'd like.

@YaakovEllis More suspect scores, 1/4 million in a minute ...
@Rob she's working on an answer I believe
Yeah I was going to answer but I saw that she's probably done the same thing I did so I'm refraining until I see what she writes. It's possible she did it in a different way.
10:55 PM
Just waiting for someone to wire up a arduino and a light sensor to trigger jumps like in a video I saw about the original game.

@YaakovEllis I can't see on my phone if the answer is correct, but here's one of many methods - a heuristic would be how fast can one travel, what's the maximum points for a successful jump; divided by the duration of play (which likely won't be a few hours) - numbers outside of that calculation are suspect.
Ooooh, found a wonderful way to cheat @YaakovEllis. Will post in a literal 50 secs.
There you go @YaakovEllis: meta.stackexchange.com/a/358111/798831
Oh hey you did what I did too.
@Spevacus Hoo, just found another.
I bet you can just make it not create obstacles as well.
11:03 PM
Making it do that is too much like work. No, I found a better way.
@Spevacus Don't copy me!

A: Do you see a way to cheat at Hat Dash?

OllieEven faster way. Copy all the steps from my other cheat method, but this time, enter another command: Runner.instance_.setSpeed(10000). It cranks the Unicorn's speed way, way up. It will leap off the line real quick though, so you need to press the up arrow to get it rolling.

new code posted that may auto-block some of these. I'm going to bed. y'all behave yourselves. I'll get around to bounties next week where applicable.
Uni is hacked
Ellis going to bed
I am excited.
I'll behave ;)

^^ Thanks. Awoken by fire sensor in server room.
Hopefully there wasn't actually a fire...
Hi guys
Evening.
Hello
Hello!
11:27 PM
Ooh @Spevacus, just figured out another way.
You know my first post, it lets you keep going forever. That's fixed.
Hey guys I should've got the Rep Hunter hat like 12 hours ago, how come I didn't get it?
I see Glorfindel has it
Does the Rep Hunter trigger at UTC 00:00?
It might. Worth waiting til then before you bring out the pitchforks ;D
Maybe?
Hello @YaakovEllis, How did you get the Movin' on Up hat?
11:44 PM
@U11-Forward rep hunter for snails is always very slow :)
@Vickel Haha lol
@U11-Forward I don't have it either. I'm assuming a certain amount of time has to pass after all the answers to allow the votes settle
@U11-Forward Rep Hunter: Post 10 answers on the same day. All answers must have a positive score, which means, in my understanding from UTC 00:00 to UTC 23:59. As UTC is the standard used for time rules on SE
@Vickel Yup, I know, I answered 10 questions that got upvoted, in the same UTC day
Anyway came up with a meta question
0
Q: Winter Bash Rep Hunter hat not delivering

U11-ForwardI was checking my answers and I counted that I have ten answers with positive score, but I wonder why I am not getting the Rep Hunter hat? Isn't the trigger to have 10 answers all upvoted in one day? Here is the image I took 12 hours ago: As you can see there are exactly 10 answers that were upv...

@U11-Forward well, maybe the answers got upvoted, but the score is not positive? like 0, like 1DV and 1 UV?
11:52 PM
@Vickel No all are positive score
The picture i took maybe 12 hours ago:
did you double check, I suppose this needs to be accomplished on UTC 23:59
@Vickel It was all in the same UTC day
I started answering when Bash started
I know... anyway check again, if some score changed to 0, that might be the reason
Upvoted some of your posts, check again.
Maybe you need to wait..
Can older users not get Carmen or Take this?
11:56 PM
Now I even have 13 upvoted answers!
@Jesbus You can create a new account somewhere on another stackexchange site to get it
Yeah, but staffs can't get them because they already joined all sites...
and smokedetecter too.
@U11-Forward if you don't get it, try to delete your 0 votes answers, maybe you need 10 out of 10? in a row--
@ppwater But I don't think all of the staff have more than 2k on all the sites...
@Vickel Don't know
@U11-Forward wait... 2 min. UTC change
