@AviD I'll be expecting that skull hat on you asap

AviD

skullhat?

oo, skullhat!

Rory Alsop

for opening a closed post

AviD

and three-hat hat!

Rory Alsop

maybe I need an experiment - hang on

AviD

skullhat dont fit my face, but 3 hats seems like something @Tigger would do.

I also edited a CW post to remove the CW, but I guess that doesnt count for the stallman.

actually looks more like "The Jesus".

Rory Alsop

23:08

okay - so closing and reopening one of my old questions has not got the skullhat - so I guess they sensibly avoided that one

Simon

OMGAWD I GOT THE 3 HATS

Gilles

@Simon small fry

Simon

I'm so hungry.

Gilles

Simon

"Image not found" but reading the link is more than enough to be painful.

That one displayed, god damn it.

Gilles

23:16

Simon

And i haven't had pizza in a very long time.

Gilles

apparently you can download that last one

Simon

And burritos.

I'll pass on the download.

Rory Alsop

@Gilles I'm only on page 4. Blimming real life....

Simon

^ Vouch.

Gilles

23:19

@RoryAlsop my first non-historical hat was a gold badge on U&L, I was off to a good start

Rory Alsop

why am I not surprised @Manish and @Kalina are top...

@Gilles that is good

Gilles

I refuse to try for hats, and I don't wear hats that I haven't earned

Simon

@RoryAlsop Was that an insult? Haha.

Gilles

so for me the challenge is hats outside U&L

Rory Alsop

@Gilles can you wear hats you haven't earned?

@Gilles ah - I understand

Gilles

23:20

@RoryAlsop yes: this year, if you earn a hat on any site, you can wear it on other sites

Simon

Can you get the Fanatic badge more than once?

Gilles

@Simon no, only once per site

Simon

I'm at 191 consecutive days. <= nurd

Aww.

Gilles

after 100 days you're supposed to take a break

Rory Alsop

@Gilles hahahaha - I think my longest without a break was 400-odd days here

not to get a badge, but cos I was modding

sad...

Simon

23:22

@Gilles I didn't get the memo.

Rory Alsop

Hang on - -how does Patents.SE have 400 more hats than us?

guys, come on...

Simon

That's pretty sad.

Gilles

@RoryAlsop it was pretty popular early on, lots of old hats

it crashed and burnt through lots of crappy software patent questions, then it settled a bit

Rory Alsop

@Gilles I occasionally pop in - but my input is severely limited, as I don't know much about the topic. And what I do know is UK-centric

Simon

So, do we get to keep those hats for next year or they'll just disappear forever?

Rory Alsop

23:28

@Simon they disappear

Simon

Doh, how pointless.

Rory Alsop

Q: Winterbash 2012 leaderboard

How can we see the leaderboard from last year's winterbash (2012)? http://winterba.sh/leaderboard Seems to forward to the promos page now and not the old leaderboard. Is there any way to get that information?

@Simon erm....d'uh

Simon

Sad.

Gilles

@Simon They turn them in to get the deposit back

Simon

Pfft.

That's like giving gifts to kids for Christmas and taking those gifts back 3 weeks later.

Rory Alsop

23:30

@Simon Tamagotchi?

Gilles

@Simon so... you mean this isn't how we're supposed to do it?

Simon

@RoryAlsop Oh my god! I miss those!

@Gilles ô_ô poor children!

Rory Alsop

@Simon really? I...don't. Now we have our SE rep (and Ingress portals) to keep alive. Wouldn't have time to keep a tamagotchi alive

Simon

@RoryAlsop I guess mine would be dead by now.

I got a damn chocolate bar from the vending machine 'cause you know, #yolo.

Rory Alsop

@Simon surely #Rolo

Simon

23:43

And it is a known fact that chocolate is a great substitute for dinner.

Aw man, there was no Rolo, that'd be great.

Now my Kitkat doesn't sound as awesome.

Rory Alsop

here's one

Simon

Rolo ice cream is awesome.

AviD

@RoryAlsop could you program your tamagucci to whore rep on SE...?

@RoryAlsop surely there is a rolo commercial based on yolo?

Rory Alsop

@AviD ...I have no tamagotchi...any more...

(in threatening voiceover tones)

AviD

> Rolo, because #yolo!

Simon

23:45

@AviD If there isn't, let's make bank, boys.

AviD

@Simon what are bankboys?

is that anything llike choirboys?

Simon

Edited to avoid future confusion.

@AviD And then it's a compilation of people who do stupid shit after yelling "yolo".

Rory Alsop

@Simon so they could just reuse any number of YouTube vids

AviD

@Simon and always holding a rolo.

or eating one.

Rory Alsop

@AviD that can be done in AfterEffects

Simon

23:47

@RoryAlsop Oh absolutely.

@AviD Of course!

We got it guys, let's sell the script now.

I believe that I should be getting 50% of the money we make because I sparked this whole discussion.

Rory gets 40% because he actually thought about Rolo.

And Avoid gets 10% for the catchphrase.

AviD

@Simon that's 65%.

@Simon you're missing a decimal point.

Simon

Actually, you know what? Just because I'm a great guy, Rory and I both get 40% and you get 20%, @AviD

@AviD That'd be funny.

AviD

Don't forget, I'm the creative genius.

Funnily enough, I really am.

well, genius might be a bit strong.

Simon

Very strong.

AviD

well, that doesnt mean its wrong.

Simon

23:54

A while imbricated in a while imbricated in a while. #yolo

Scott Pack

You're slacking off on your hats @Rory Mc@Roryton

Simon

Look mom, I write great code!

Rory Alsop

@ScottPack I've been busy, alright. How many are you on now?

You're still in 1st place, right?

Scott Pack

Oh sure you betcha

You even have your fancy mod only hat too.

Rory Alsop

@ScottPack well, I'm not going to get flags here am I?

Scott Pack

23:56

Can't you flag?

Simon

@ScottPack Helpful flags count, sir?

Scott Pack

351.

Rory Alsop

@ScottPack It would definitely be cheating. More so than my experimenting with closing and reopening a question (ahem) - which failed to work

Scott Pack

err 352.

Simon

Dayum, I'm catching up.

Scott Pack

23:57

@RoryAlsop You did that?

@Simon I think you spend a lot of flags on closing questions, aye?

Simon

@ScottPack Yep.

Scott Pack

I cast close votes.

AviD

@RoryAlsop sometimes I flag, for spam / offensive. Easier cleanup, that way.

Simon

No idea what the difference is.

Rory Alsop

@ScottPack not actually deliberately. One was closed - comment said move to SU, so I reopened, but selected the 'comment about SU' option, not actually migrating. So I had to reopen and then migrate

AviD

23:59

dont know if those count as validated flags, as far as hats are concerned, though.

Rory Alsop

still no hat

Simon

Casting close votes would be in the review thing?

Rory Alsop

@AviD that's my only use too

Scott Pack

@Simon You don't have close vote privs so you throw a flag. I, however, have close vote privs so I do that instead.

Simon
