Ooh, the chicken is back: winterbash2021.stackexchange.com/chicken

Wolgwang

-_-

Luuklag

@RafaelTavares then this edit should also give the hat, but didn't: meta.stackexchange.com/posts/159190/revisions

Dharman

What does /51 stand for in the URL? meta.stackexchange.com/q/358638/51

Luuklag

an answer ID

or a user ID for sharing

double-beep

Yaakov's user id

Dharman

4:05 PM

I give up, I don't know how to start that game

Where is that pony?

I feel like these haikus contain some clue, but I don't know what it is

Luuklag

I don't think its available yet

Wolgwang

Another hat bruh

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@Dharman I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about :P

Dharman

        oh where, oh where has
        my unicorn gone? oh where
        oh where can he be?

SPArcheon

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

4:16 PM

@Dharman thanks :)

Wolgwang

@Dharman What?

Dharman

@Wolgwang It's the second haiku from this site winterbash2021.stackexchange.com/unicorn

Wolgwang

@Dharman How did you get that?

Dharman

Read the HTML comments

Wolgwang

Ah

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

4:21 PM

@Dharman is there any way to do that on a mobile device?

Dharman

I don't know

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Are there any on this page by any chance?

Dharman

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica no

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Huh, then the fact that it shows the wrong 404 page is probably a bug, unless I'm missing something.

SPArcheon

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica that is a troll @YaakovEllis added some time ago. It was aimed at people who were trying to guess hat names.

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

4:27 PM

Oh, thanks @SPArcheon.

SPArcheon

back then, you could see the placeholder for a secret hat if you knew the name.

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica doublecheck - what happens if you click THIS link?

> winterbash2021.stackexchange.com/monologue

Not found page, right?

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Yep

SPArcheon

because you don't have that hat.

In the past, it would instead show the hat page but with a "you don't have this" message.

That meant that you could try to guess a name of an hat

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Interesting, thanks.

SPArcheon

so, @YaakovEllis had fun adding some trolls. Or maybe it was even before he started working on WB.

Anyway, the /hat url is just a troll.

not the best one IMHO.

Back when they add an actual file with all the hat images, they added Twilight Sparkle among the hats just to see how users would react...

nobody

4:33 PM

So why doesn't the konami code do anything this year?

Wolgwang

Devs

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Kinda sad that /waffles doesn't do anything :(

nobody

How did I get the thought bubble? Is it something related to reviewing? Because that's pretty much all I've done today

Wolgwang

@nobody No

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@nobody I don't think so, but I might be wrong

nobody

4:40 PM

So what are your guesses right now?

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Something related to meta is mine.

have you posted on meta today?

nobody

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica Nope, didn't even visit it

Wolgwang

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica No

SPArcheon

found.

this once was in the hat sprites list.

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Welp, guess that's not it then.

SPArcheon

4:42 PM

I keep pestering @YaakovEllis to finally make that thing true but... he ignores me.

zcoop98

The /hat 404 is at least a little strange, since that's the url that the hat modals are served from when you click on a hat icon on the Winter Bash home page. Eg. winterbash2021.stackexchange.com/hat?id=2 is the modal content for the Clockwork hat.

nobody

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica I've only chatted and reviewed today. Maybe skipping a review item?

Wolgwang

@nobody It is related to chatting I am damn sure

Thomas Markov

I havent even viewed review queues and ive got thought bubble.

nobody

Right, then it's chatting

soupless

4:44 PM

What>

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@nobody I've only reviewed yesterday, not today.

iLuvLogix

Although I 'm aware about WB-themes and the recycled 2019 knitting, I miss it somehow - especially viewing the lovely 'art-work' of the community-members.. [sigh]

soupless

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

Catija

Star spam??? Wha??? :P

nobody

Winter Bash Starring Room - Stack Ove…

A Stack Overflow chat server room for placing a star on users ...

soupless

4:46 PM

There is one?

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@soupless most likely not.

SPArcheon

... what is Suraj doing???

now there are TWO pirates hats???

Catija

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica You do not get a hat for having chat messages flagged.

Please understand that flagging messages in chat will draw the attention and ire of all 10k+ users network-wide who are in chat. Please don't do that.

nobody

How long does it take to get the hat after triggering it?

Wolgwang

I got the One buried penny and know how to get one

Catija

4:48 PM

We go to great lengths to avoid hats that cause harm. Mass flagging in chat is harmful.

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Got it, sorry.

Dharman

but there are hats for upvoting stuff, isn't that harmful?

Catija

.... it's the primary feature of ranking posts on the site... so no.

SPArcheon

@Catija "One buried pennies", "Two buried pennies"... you didn't hide coins on tutorial/faq pages right?

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@Dharman on some sites, no (can't speak for all sites because I don't use all of them)

SPArcheon

4:49 PM

I can spare myself looking, right?

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@SPArcheon they show the badges of users, maybe that is it?

iLuvLogix

Maybe hats for visiting the help-center and the tour (and spending there at least a couple of minutes) would have been a good idea.. ;)

soupless

No hats for 5 stars.

iLuvLogix

@soupless and none for even 8 as I read earlier..

SPArcheon

@iLuvLogix done already. BTW the Konami code on the tour page no longer works.

soupless

4:51 PM

What is that thought bubble?

Catija

@SPArcheon Those don't relate to help pages, no.

Wolgwang

@SPArcheon They are for Archaeologist

Can you see my hat?

amWhy

@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?

3

nobody

@amWhy Probably secret hats for the janitors

Dharman

Nobody cares about quality, quantity is what matters

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

4:54 PM

@amWhy there are 4 hats for reviewing

SPArcheon

@Wolgwang meta.stackexchange.com/users/347191/suraj-rao?tab=activity

Wolgwang

@SPArcheon Yes

SPArcheon

this user has both variations, his activity doesn't show necro-edits or such.

amWhy

@Dharman That's, my friend, is SE's problem. People do in fact care about quality.

Catija

There is a hat for downvoting - Read the description for clockwork again, y'all.

Wolgwang

4:56 PM

> Cast 10 upvotes on questions less than two days old, 80% of which are still open after four days

Dharman

@Catija well, I don't trust the usage of "votes" as I had to actually upvote something to get "I voted" hat

amWhy

@Catija But in fact, the focus of hats this year is on upvotes (several hats), and answering, even if crap. Couple questions getting upvotes with answerers answering, @Wolgwang, and those questions will likely never be closeable. They'll likely all end up as crappy audit posts in review queues, as too many like them already Do!

Amy

So does anyone know how to get the thought bubble hat?

Dharman

answering and asking questions is the purpose of Q&A site so that checks out. Hats for upvotes are ok as long as there are corresponding ones for downvotes

Wolgwang

@Amy Yes I have a slight idea

Amy

4:59 PM

ok... Go on..

Dharman

This has been rejected meta.stackexchange.com/questions/373007/…

Jeff Schaller

Is the bottom nav supposed to look like this?

(pages 2, 3, etc don't have orange boxes and are squished together)

Wolgwang

@Amy It is something to do with changing the main profile linked with chat account

Amy

Hmm ok

Catija

@JeffSchaller There's already a bug report for it. There's a fix in the queue from what I understand.

Jeff Schaller

5:01 PM

@Catija very good; thank you!

@double-beep ~~beep~~ thank you!

nobody

@Wolgwang Nope

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Does anybody know what Yaakov's favorite book or movie is? (I'm going to try maybe doing /bookormovie for his favorite book or movie)

Wolgwang

@nobody IDK I was trying to update my avatar to get the pirate hat and for that I had changed Math.se to physics.se and to maths.se and I got a hat on physics.se

SPArcheon

5:03 PM

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica I don't get why you expect that to do something.

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@SPArcheon why not?

soupless

@Wolgwang I have a guess about thought bubble since I just got it now

Yaakov Ellis

@SPArcheon which thing?

Wolgwang

@soupless What?

SPArcheon

Occam's razor

Occam's razor, Ockham's razor, Ocham's razor (Latin: novacula Occami), also known as the principle of parsimony or the law of parsimony (Latin: lex parsimoniae), is the problem-solving principle that "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity", sometimes inaccurately paraphrased as "the simplest explanation is usually the best one." The idea is frequently attributed to English Franciscan friar William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), a scholastic philosopher and theologian, although he never used these words. This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about...

Yaakov Ellis

5:04 PM

@nobody are you sure that it did nothing?

Wolgwang

@YaakovEllis Yes

soupless

I think you have to edit the about section. Either the chat profile or the main profile.

nobody

@YaakovEllis I think I got a console error, that's all

Wolgwang

testing

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@SPArcheon fair enough.

SPArcheon

5:06 PM

@Wolgwang then you are wrong. Quite sure it did at least a thing. Added +1 to a stat @YaakovEllis is recording....

24 mins ago, by SPArcheon

this once was in the hat sprites list.

Wolgwang

@SPArcheon Just to confirm...I don't have to enter space or enter after it?

SPArcheon

@Wolgwang I was just meaning that I am quite sure that Yaakov is tracking the number of users that try the Konami code. He also track the number of users who end up on that youtube video...

Smitop

@Wolgwang looks like you need to hit enter afterwards, judging by the source code

38, 38, 40, 40, 37, 39, 37, 39, 66, 65, 13 -> up up down down left right left right B A enter

Wolgwang

What is 38 38?

Smitop

@Wolgwang the keycode for the up arrow

Dharman

5:13 PM

Where do I need to do it?

Wolgwang

Catija

Yeah, I want to know, too.

Wait... what hat are you even talking about?

Smitop

@Catija bottom of cdn.sstatic.net/Winterbash/js/wb21-setmeup.js?v=466e8645b422 implements a Konami code checker

@Wolgwang I was just meaning that I am quite sure that Yaakov is tracking the number of users that try the Konami code. He also track the number of users who end up on that youtube video...

unless it is not-yet-active, the Konami code support is just part of Yaakov "Trolled users stats"

nobody

Okay, do we get the thought bubble for konami?

Dharman

5:16 PM

no

Mithical

room topic changed to Winter Bash 2021: discussion & hat hunting for winterbash2021.stackexchange.com [winter-bash-2021]

SPArcheon

I think the bubble is related to the Summer Bash switch... wich reminds me....

Wolgwang

@SPArcheon No it is related to chatting

Catija

@SPArcheon How would that be site-specific?

Wolgwang

@Wolgwang I have tested by joining two sites to chat profile....

soupless

5:20 PM

Changing the about section of the chat profile?

Visiting the chat profile? I have no idea.

Ping me

@Wolgwang Here

Here

Hmm.

@Wolgwang Hmmmm

5:24 PM

Now testing on movies SE

Ping me

nobody

@Wolgwang I tried chatting on stackoverflow, but I didn't get any hat there yet. Even asked for a ping

Ollie

@Wolgwang No.

;)

double-beep

heh... another defender

SPArcheon

Wolgwang

@nobody Looks like I have to post a certain number of messages

Let's talk

Ollie

5:26 PM

Think I've found the trigger for Thought Bubble

nobody

Ok lemme go see

Wolgwang

@Ollie What?

soupless

Clicking the profile icon?

Ollie

Nope!

Wolgwang

My theory works

soupless

5:27 PM

What was your theory again?

Wolgwang

Post 5 messages

Mathematica SE 1

2 uh

Ollie

@Wolgwang Yes. I've been doing that in SOBotics; I earned the hat on SO.

Wolgwang

@Wolgwang Ping Yaakov with your theory for confirmation

Amy

@Wolgwang Tried changing my About me on chat profile... Didn't give me a thought bubble hat..

Wolgwang

@nobody I am not sure as sending 5 messages don't help...maybe I have to ping

@Amy Changing about me doesn't help

soupless

Maybe 5 messages, not consecutive?

Amy

5:39 PM

@Wolgwang So what does?

Rafael Tavares

I didn't change about me but I got it on SO. I don't know how

Wolgwang

@Amy Change chat main profile just get involved in continued conservation on chat

nobody

I hate these hats that are configured for stack overflow. Like Hi5. Get 5 answers accepted on the same day. Dude, answering five questions in one day would be a really big deal for me. How can you expect me to get five accepted?

Wolgwang

Dunno

Think about sites where not even 5 questions are answered in a day

nobody

Yeah.

Wolgwang

5:42 PM

Rafael Tavares

@Wolgwang You got it by updating "about me" section?

Wolgwang

@RafaelTavares No

@YaakovEllis We get the thought bubble hat by posting 5 messages over some interval of time (?)

Rafael Tavares

5 messages = 5 chat messages?

Wolgwang

Yes

Rafael Tavares

And how would it count for different sites?

Wolgwang

5:45 PM

different size?

Dharman

I think one message is enough

Wolgwang

Yes

iLuvLogix

@Wolgwang Just got my bubble on SO ;)

Wolgwang

Rafael Tavares

This chat doesn't give the hat?

Wolgwang

5:50 PM

What?

iLuvLogix

@RafaelTavares This chat gives the hat-aches ;)

Rafael Tavares

I mean, this chat is from Meta.SE, and I have Thought Bubble on SO only, but this was the only chat I used 🤔

Wolgwang

@RafaelTavares User profile's main site is important not room site

soupless

@Wolgwang I changed the about, too.

Wolgwang

5:52 PM

@soupless I didn't

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@nobody @YaakovEllis any chance this is true?

Rafael Tavares

Where is Hat's bot to confirm this?

Wolgwang

Now anime and manga. I will just post 5 messages without pinging anyone and will see...

Rafael Tavares

Monologue, dialogue, trialogue and quadaloge were supposed to be easy, but I didn't identify any pattern :(

Wolgwang

2 unicorn

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

5:56 PM

@RafaelTavares maybe try posting new messages in chat with a brand new sockpuppet? Just a thought, might not work.

Wolgwang

3 waffle

Looks like quantity does not matter

Time matters

SPArcheon

@Wolgwang you forgot the "One @Tinkeringbell in a pear tree" line

Wolgwang

@Wolgwang This was one

soupless

That spotting scope is what I want.

I tried checking the first post of the site, nothing.

I am also trying the Matryoshka hat. I thought it would be like this:

@soupless Who pinged me?

But no. I didn't get anything.

caird coinheringaahing

6:16 PM

Pretty sure Matryoshka is somehing to do with asking a question - the only user to have it on CGCC is also the only user to have posted a question since Winter Bash began

Wolgwang

@YaakovEllis User can get the thought bubble hat by getting involved in continued conservation of 8-12 chat messages by a particular chat profile's main profile.

Thought bubble hat confirmatory test. I got hat on ardiuono and ai the hat on

On SE too (https://meta.stackexchange.com/users/401803/hkotsubo?tab=topactivity)
Someone thought earlier it was something like asking and answering its own question, but the user you linked didn't answer their question

SPArcheon

@cairdcoinheringaahing pretty sure it has the old trigger that didn't make sense on smaller sites then, doesn't now.

> Matryoshka: 10 successful close or reopen votes

caird coinheringaahing

We haven't had a single CV or RO cast on CGCC since WB started

Catija

@Wolgwang I think there's a bug. I know how to get the hat and I'm not actually getting it on chat.se even though I've gotten it on the other two servers.

caird coinheringaahing

6:20 PM

And that user has 500 rep, they can't VTC

Yaakov Ellis

@Wolgwang warmer

Wolgwang

@Catija O_O

@YaakovEllis Hmm ?

Mithical

~5 messages in the same room within ten minutes

@Catija Your chat account is parented to Meta.SE.

Wolgwang

So my trigger is correct right?

Catija

Hmmm. That seems like an odd caveat? But I guess I could try changing it.

@Wolgwang The convention is "you're getting warmer/colder" meaning "your guess is closer/farther from the correct solution'

Mithical

6:24 PM

I mean, I earned the hat on ConLang.SE despite not sending any messages in rooms parented to that site. But that's my chat parent account.

Catija

So "warmer" means "you're getting closer but you're not quite there yet".

Ah... Interesting.

But some people have gotten the hat on multple SE sites - are they changing their chat parent to do that?

Wolgwang

@Catija Yes I joined 5 communities today for testing that

Catija

Joined doesn't mean you changed your chat parent, though? Unless you did that, too.

Wolgwang

@Catija I changed the chat parent

Catija

Ah.

Mithical

6:27 PM

As a test subject, Rosie earned the hat on Meta.SE. The only chat messages she's sent today are in a Literature.SE chatroom; no messages on chat.Meta; her chat.SE parent account is Meta.SE.

Catija

that you've seen - I have it on SO and I don't think I've posted anything in public rooms on SO today.

Wolgwang

I have 11 thought bubble hat

SPArcheon

@Catija Should I try to create some chaos with the merged account chat bug superpower?

Mithical

@Catija Public doesn't seem to matter; Rosie's chat was in a private room too. :) (And her profile says "8 messages today"; there were 8 messages in the private room.)

Catija

Probably not. :D

Mithical

6:29 PM

The last message thing and number of posts sent that day update even if you can't see the messages posted.

Catija

Ah. Right. I think we're saying the same thing, for all intents.

Wolgwang

@Catija chat.stackoverflow.com/users/4548692/catija?tab=general

You must have sent 5 messages in mod only room

Catija

I do, in fact have several messages in a private room there. :D Probably even nine.

Wolgwang

So my theory is correct :-)

Catija

I don't actually know what your latest version of your theory was.

Wolgwang

6:31 PM

13 mins ago, by Wolgwang

@YaakovEllis User can get the thought bubble hat by getting involved in continued conservation of 8-12 chat messages by a particular chat profile's main profile.

Catija

Not quite correct, no

Nail down that number

Wolgwang

@Catija It is not possible. The overlords of SE don't give much importance to chat...it is not accurate.

Catija

You know how to test it... Just winnow it down.

Wolgwang

Bruh

Rafael Tavares

You'll be the first one to put a spoiler on that post @Wolgwang

Wolgwang

6:35 PM

@Catija Is there a way to know the time when a user received a hat?

Rafael Tavares

SPArcheon

> Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.

Rory Alsop

@RoryAlsop yep, fixed, typo.

SPArcheon

@RoryAlsop why? you are kinda right, so I should thank you for noticing before editing timeout.

Rory Alsop

@SPArcheon lol. I hoped it wouldn't annoy. But some folks do get annoyed by teeny things like that

SPArcheon

@RoryAlsop I work with SharePoint, you need to do worse.

Rory Alsop

@SPArcheon hahahahaha - fair enough. I cannot compete

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@YaakovEllis is the monologue hat gained by posting 3 questions uninterrupted in a specific tag? (If that's not it, then is it two?)

If I'm only allowed to make one guess at a time then I guess two

Rafael Tavares

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica If this is true, I'm afraid of the quadalogue

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

6:51 PM

@RafaelTavares it's probably possible in some niche tags in SO (if my guess is correct).

Rafael Tavares

I don't think it is easy to ask one good question, imagine asking five lol

soupless

@YaakovEllis Is monologue replying to yourself in chat?

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@Wolgwang it's not that difficult to get, especially on larger sites. (10 suggested edits or 2 upvotes)

Mithical

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica Be careful with suggesting sockpuppets; sockpuppets shouldn't ever interact with the primary account.

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica No, I have posted only one question (and also a self-answer, not sure if it counts)

Mithical

@Wolgwang 3 users having to interact is wrong, can pretty much confirm.

Wolgwang

@Mithical Confirm ?

dbc

7:18 PM

I was searching for very off-topic questions, voting to close them, then submitting them to SOCVR. I may have added some comments as well. But there's enough hysteresis in awarding hats that I can't say exactly what I did when the hat got awarded.

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

Fair enough

dbc

Oh, and all the questions for which I voted to close subsequently got closed. Maybe it's related to casting the first vote to close?

Seems possible since stackoverflow.com/users/4294399/calculuswhiz?tab=topactivity also has Spotting Scope, and also submitted some close vote requests to SOCVR.

@YaakovEllis guess: Spotting Scope: Cast the first Vote To Close for a question that subsequently gets closed.

Ekadh Singh - Reinstate Monica

@dbc @YaakovEllis is this accurate?

(For future reference, I did this because Yaakov said to ping him when guessing hat triggers)

Catija

Does anyone have a misaligned hat we can test something with?

Is "misaligned" an adjective or the name of a hat @Catija?

Q: Hat gets misplaced both in icon and on profile picture (2021 Winter Bash)

I think that if the hats get resized that the position of the hat gets re-calculated incorrectly, probably from (X,Y) position that is shifted according to the hat. Simply wearing the hat and returning to the hat-"dialog" screen will already move the position of the hat. Also seen on the icon, ...

This is misaligned

Was that a cryptic message?

@YaakovEllis And as a modification to this guess maybe Spotting Scope: Cast the first Vote To Close for X questions that subsequently get closed, where X might be, say, 5.

does anyone know why downvotes or close votes do not count for the "I voted" hat?

nevermind, found the discussion earlier :)

Is it just me, or are the hats a lot harder to get this year?

@hkotsubo I don't think it's related to commenting on your own post, because I did that 10 minutes ago and didn't get the hat.

@user1271772 It's just you

@RafaelTavares Yes, I also experienced it.

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

Does anyone have E-pic?

Going to page -1 on the leaderboard seems to be the same as going to page 1, maybe a hidden feature?

hkotsubo

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica So maybe it's "someone commented in your post". I noticed the hat only after I replied the comment, so I am not sure which one triggered the hat (assuming that the trigger is related to comments)

Testing if sending images will give e-pic

Wait, sorry. This should be done in the Sandbox.

pt.stackoverflow.com/users/136394/lucas?tab=activity This user has Monologue but it doesn't seem that he commented something (maybe he commented and deleted it, but the chances are low)
