@Mast Maybe after I figure out how to send emails to more than one person.
 
@MikeMiller There's this magic field called CC
 
@MikeMiller easy, after you send the first message, you forward it to the second, and so on...
 
It is joke.
@David Right, like I was just telling Mast, I already know how to do that :D
 
What's a joke? Can you put that on your head as well?
 
12:04 AM
Where can I get the joke hat?
 
@Mast are there secret jokes too?
 
@David I can neither confirm nor deny that.
 
@Mast aw, now you are starting to sound like Pops.
 
huh, I haven't the Up hat yet
how long does that take to get?
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC 5 minutes if you're waiting for caching.
 
12:09 AM
@Quill-HATMANIAC after the day resets, and you got 5 uv and no dvs
 
hmm
I have those criteria
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC by different users?
 
I'd wanna hope so
I rep capped
 
that sure should do it.
 
yes
I got 5 uvs on one question
that's 5 different users
 
12:10 AM
yep, then check for DVs
 
[tag:time-to-get-my-f5-game-on]
no downvotes
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC then if it does not come soon I would take it to meta.
 
oh wait
I got a downvote on a meta answer
 
I got mine probably within 10mins of restart.
 
and I deleted a downvoted answer, that's right
never mind then
 
12:12 AM
false alarm.
 
Better luck next time.
 
(you'd think the "HAT MANIAC" would know how the hats work)
 
Got it on MSE and Engineering now, so it's not that hard to get.
And I should really upload something to Code Review
 
I've been cap posting though, you basically can guarantee downvotes for that kinda thing
 
I got Carl Fredrickson!
 
12:15 AM
Plenty of days to go.
 
What is the wolf hat?
Researcher?
Ah yes
ok
 
Yup. Just got it as well. But I like this one better.
Because it's seekrit.
Nobody knows for certain yet.
And it's nice honouring a lady older than COBOL.
 
The AG one?
@Mast lol, yes indeed
My total is 21 now
Sweet
 
12:36 AM
How about: Amazing Grace is awarded for a tagged bug question that gets nice question and at least one downvote
 
The top 4 slots are are sequential
@Quill-HATMANIAC Hmm
Maybe
I'd be glad to test it ;)
 
The question that I got Amazing Grace for I had one downvote on
and 13 upvotes
 
It might not be necessary to get a DV
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC good to know
 
yes
 
12:37 AM
also could be related to status-* tags
 
The meta post was updated, who did that?
 
they're not specific as different questions that have earned the hat have had different statuses
@Malachi, I think
I need to roll it back
 
ok
Yeah, that's who
 
one of the CR regulars
read the transcript here, I believe, for more info
 
Trying to figure out what I could post as a bug . . .
 
12:41 AM
@HATMAN Only post bugs.
 
yeah, of course
 
No 'perhaps this is a bug as well' stuff.
 
lol
That would be DVd to oblivion
 
@HATMAN which might get you a hat :)
 
Maybe, don't want to risk it ;)
 
12:44 AM
Okay, I'm going to revise again...
Bug Related/tagged questions that get [status- tags added, and earn the user nice question

Q: Bug in showing disputed flags

NSNoobI saw this question in triage today. After reading initial lines, It appeared to be spam (Discussing his website with details of its services in a promotive narrative). So I flagged it as spam. After a while, I realized my mistake and flagged it as off-topic because the guy was asking for recomme...

that has no downvotes, yet earned the user Amazing Grace
@Mast, did you get a downvote on your Meta bug related answer?
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC Probably.
 
take a look man
they look like +2s
 
I'm not high enough to see...
Probably like +3's, a +5 -2
 
@Mast which question did you earn it for?
the latest one?
 
Hats aren't badges. It's not telling you where you got it for.
 
12:49 AM
Did you earn the hat before you posted the second meta question?
 
Can you make a tag with no users?
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC probably yesterdays
 
Probably got a downvote on this one:

Q: Hat counter has lost track

MastI just noticed the following on the Code Review Winterbash leaderboard: Now, if my math is correct, TopinFrassi has 5 hats and rolfl has 4 hats. Why doesn't the leaderboard agree with me here, is Hairboat's Revenge not counted while shown? My fellow Code Reviewers blame caching, but we alway...

 
@HATMAN Yes.
 
12:49 AM
Why?
 
Tags don't need users, they need questions.
 
@HATMAN no, but a tag can have no users for about a day.
 
Alright, proof incoming:
 
@David ok
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC Waiting...

try the link now

very interesting
 
12:59 AM
My Hypothesis:
 
send an email, see if you get the hat.
 
to team@?
 
team@stackexchange.com, or (pops@either stackoverflow or stackexchange).com) would probably work.
 
Why not just ping Pops here?
 
I hate trying to get hats.
 
1:07 AM
lol
It gets frustrating sometimes
 
it frustrates me every year. I like the achievement of getting the hats, but some are just a PITA and a half
 
Yeah
The 007 one is a pain in the behind, and the Amazing Grace one is tough
 
007 isn't too hard. Not like the Onion Knight.
 
It's not really clear what Onion Knight is yet, is it?
 
@Hosch250 how do you get onion?
 
1:11 AM
No idea!
 
The 007 seems to be impossible for me. Every time I get close, the OP comments.
 
lol
 
If AG is really about bugs eh, I won't bother.
 
@pops: I just sent team@ an email from my email address with my hypothesis, if you could take a look, I'd be real appreciative
 
@JoshCrozier Post an answer on your own question?
 
1:11 AM
@JoshCrozier just find an inactive question.
 
Find a question that is several days old without comments.
 
Ah.. good point.
 
If I've found a SO bug, should I post it to Meta.SO or Meta.SE?
 
Make sure the user isn't on at the time.
 
@Hosch250 that might help with the OP, but others could still mess it up.
 
1:12 AM
if it is specific to SO then Meta.SO
 
@Malachi That ^^
 
if it is StackExchange wide then META
 
And say, "DON'T COMMENT!!!"
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC if it is specific to SO then on their meta, else on main
 
1:13 AM
oh, someone already got it

Q: Bounty spelling wrong in tabs?

NicENot sure this is a relevant post for Meta but "bounty" seems to be misspelled in the default title for browser title and in the SO tabs. You can reproduce this by filtering a tag by questions with "bounties" and then ordering by bounty size.

 
@Quill-HATMANIAC I'm almost tied with you. If I had an Android/iOS phone, we would be tied.
 
on CR, yeah
 
I'm not hunting on other sites, except for Odinson.
I got that on SO because it is nearly impossible to get on CR.
I don't think anyone has it here.
 
I've hunted a few on other websites
 
I didn't cap yesterday, so I might have trouble with the 250 votes over 7 days one.
 
1:19 AM
Does anyone still need Odinson?
 
you don't need to cap @hosch250 just really close
 
35 or 36
 
On CR, yes. We need to find a cross post, then gold-tag dupe hammer it.
 
@HATMAN do the math properly and post it as a meta selfie q&a
 
We don't dupe-hammer much on CR.
Almost never.
 
1:20 AM
I'd vote for it @HATMAN
pretty much guarantee no dupes
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC ok
 
@Pops The description of Vote Early, Vote Often isn't particularly clear on whether reopen/close/delete votes count.
 
@JoshCrozier YES
 
Is it just up/down votes, or can I count my close/reopen votes?
 
@David VTC this as a dupe of the question I linked to.
@David Then I will dupe hammer it.
@David Flagging works too..
 
1:24 AM
@JoshCrozier flaged as dup
 
Alright.. closed.
 
Dupe hammered.
@JoshCrozier You need a flag before you can hammer?
 
should my name show up there, even though I only flaged not CVed?
 
No, your name doesn't show up if you flagged it.
 
I don't think so
 
1:25 AM
Only people with 3k+ rep who can vote to close.
 
You should have it now.
 
free flags tho ty
what time is it at sehq timezone?
 
8:27
 
@Hosch250 I dont
 
They are in NYC.. I think.
 
1:28 AM
@David Reload the page.
 
ah, okay, ty
 
@Hosch250 what page?? (do you have any idea how many SE tabs I have open) PS I looked at my profile on tow different sites.
 
One of them.
 
@David I just checked, and you have the hat.

A: How would Facebook Sysadmins prevent the summoning of Cthulhu?

JoeLast time this happened at my job, we were glad our servers were running Windows 10, which forced a shutdown for mandatory updates...

 
1:29 AM
You do have it, you know.
Old Ones waking up in Facebooks data center will be appalled and the amount of rubbish they find and decide that this dimension is not worth consuming. — Raphael 11 hours ago
 
lol, we are at the same place
 
NOW I have it!
thanks @JoshCrozier!
 
Looks like Malachi is going for Timey Wimey.
GTG, BBL.
 
oh yeah. see you all tomorrow. time for a movie and then bed
tried to make the edits somewhat valuable. if only to get more attention for the posts you know what I mean?
 
1:34 AM
@Malachi WHAT? you have time for a movie during the wb?? how can this be??
 
good night @malachi and yes, thank you
@David I don't even have time for sleep
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC from you, I believe it.
 
@Malachi !!
 
I'm nearly done with this vote counting userscript
 
cool
 
1:43 AM
once it's done, it should be identical to the tool
 
how does it work? (or I can just read your code in a bit)
@HATMAN researcher is mine :)
 
api call
also someone just randomly downvoted a post of mine
 
@David Mine too :D
 
there goes the up hat, again
 
I got Carl too
 
1:47 AM
@HATMAN which?
 
I'll have to post on another smaller site, I think
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC could be a hat hater...
 
yeah, probably
 
@David Frederickson
 
@HATMAN had that yesterday
just say "UP"
 
1:48 AM
I got a random DV, remember . . .
 
@David It's going to Stack Apps once it's done, so yeah
 
@HATMAN was not me.
 
No, of course not
It was on a genuinely good question
The Film Emulation one
 
i think I had already UVed it when you said you got DVed
 
yeah
 
1:54 AM
Forgot I was in this room and not in the second monitor
 
and it's done
 
@Quill-HATMANIAC Not sure what's going on, but I don't see it in the inbox yet.
 
I can resend it
 
Really hoping for 007 sometime. Was trying to get Tumbleweed on this one, but I don't think the OP is coming back. blender.stackexchange.com/questions/38669/…
 
never mind
 
1:59 AM
Actually I do see it, it never made it to our ticketing system because the spam filter got it.
I now view you with suspicion.
 
SUSPICION, I SAY
 
I had links to goo.gl so yeah
