Whaaaaaat

Take three hours off my life? Works great. Who should I send it to?

Fabby

Dan Pantry

Mast

21:01

David

@Fabby but, you might miss the beginning...

Mast

Code Review is going to strike again!

X-27

HHHAAATTTTSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAYAYAYAYAY

rolfl

Hi - @Mast - I have to decide whether to be as "serious" again this year....

David

@Mast I thought MartijnPieters won

it was a tie, I remember.

rolfl

21:02

Yeah, 4-way tie, but technically Mike MIller won

David

@rolfl you arnt going all out hats? why not?

X-27

winterbash2015.stackexchange.com

janos

I didn't win anything, but I was in top 5 on many sites

David

@rolfl PS MartijnPieters is not either.

I was 19th over all, first on my site.

janos

21:04

I was #3 on SO, #2 on SU, #3 on AskUbuntu, #2 on SF, ....

rolfl

This year I sort of have a life ..... but, I would be lying if I did not put effort in.... I have primed up a "gold badge" that I can earn in this period ... woot woot.... so I can ge a hat for a gold - if there's a gold-related badge hat this year.

Whaaaaaat

ughhhh

David

@Whaaaaaat I thought you must be from latex.

Whaaaaaat

@David AskUbuntu and Emacs.

janos

@rolfl there was the last 2 years. I got one primed too :)

Whaaaaaat

21:05

:D

David

@Whaaaaaat I saw.

Mat's Mug

@rolfl crap I always forget that one

David

@rolfl :) me too!

gold primed!

Whaaaaaat

I have a gold primed too.

Only 225 flags to go.

2

janos

@Whaaaaaat your mods will be delighted I'm sure

David

21:07

@Whaaaaaat way ahead of you. 43 left for me.

rolfl

I did really well in the hats for the past two years, but really, if you're "active", they are not that hard to get..... and the hard ones need manipulaton anyway.....

David

@janos I would not mind, granted they are good flags.

Whaaaaaat

@rolfl "Star my posts or die!"

David

@rolfl exactly.

Hosch250

I'll need you guys to upvote one of my posts to 100+, or get 10k views.

rolfl

21:08

@Hosch250 review queues, and flags ;-)

janos

@rolfl it pretty much all comes down to whether you figure out the Heureka or not...

Hosch250

Or favorite one to 100.

Whaaaaaat

I have a post worth 100 upvotes. Plus I need rep :D

Hosch250

@rolfl Already got the flag one.

David

@Hosch250 well there are 14 of us in here now... close to 10k

Whaaaaaat

21:08

Wait, so this is the site for star farming?

Mat's Mug

Oh nice, I have [gold:copy-editor] cooking :-)

rolfl

@Hosch250 On every site?

X-27

I think SE should suspend their "no voterfraud" rule during the hats.

everyone games the system anyway.....

Hosch250

The closest I am to another review one is a little over 350.

David

@Whaaaaaat kind of.

Hosch250

21:09

@rolfl No, but only the CR hats count.

rolfl

@X-27 - you get the hat whether there's a reversal or not .... (don't tell anyone I said that).

David

@rolfl I'm going for all hats on my home site

@rolfl lol!

rolfl

Me too.... I did well on my home site last year, but some are not possible.

Hosch250

Actually, I can go edit some 200 posts and get the gold edit badge.

X-27

@rolfl Oohh!!!!

janos

21:09

I definitely don't want to repeat what we did for the pizza hat last year...

X-27

thanks :-)

Whaaaaaat

You know what we need.

Hat trading.

David

@rolfl yep

Hosch250

Or, if WinterBash is over 40-something days long, I can ask a question every day :P

X-27

11

Q: Quickly add cubes

I am trying to add cubes to my scene. Are there any easier ways to add a cube then by going into the python console and adding them manually by using this command? bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add()

that was my pizza scam

David

21:10

@janos @X-27 has you beat!

janos

winter bash hasn't even started yet and it's already cutting in my free time, ouch

6

I'm outta here

rolfl

Free time ? I have taken 2 weeks vacation ..... busy time!

Hosch250

Or I could get my C# gold badge...

David

@Whaaaaaat this is kind of why I made this room. Last year we were jumping around different rooms depending on who said who had the latest info. Now it can all be here. (and we can keep the stars clean on all the normal chat rooms.)

Whaaaaaat

Hmm. Or 400 edits. OR 600 close votes.

David

21:12

@janos I will me pretty much addicted to hats until about Jan 3rd.

Whaaaaaat

Can SE remove the queue limits?

X-27

or just suspend all rules until the hats end....

Whaaaaaat

That works too.

David

lol

mods would love that idea.

Whaaaaaat

ikr :D

rolfl

21:13

Hey, even mods need a holiday!

Whaaaaaat

so, how do us normies get the diamond hat?

Hosch250

Yeah, N flags/day.

Instead of the limit (which some users essentially don't have anyway).

X-27

@David let Madness Reign!

David

@Whaaaaaat win an election, or buy mine for about $2000

Whaaaaaat

@David but how do I transfer it.

rolfl

21:14

Or find a beta site in need of TLC

X-27

@David $1,700?

Hosch250

$1850 is an even split.

David

@Hosch250 deal

Whaaaaaat

@David Do I get the underlying email account too?

Because if so, $2250.

rolfl

Huh, I think I am one of the very few people on SE who actually has a real diamon hat, but is not a moderator.

David

21:15

I'll give you my paypall info

Whaaaaaat

Do you accept Bitcoin?

David

@Whaaaaaat sure, why not.

@Whaaaaaat no, just my hat.

Hosch250

@X-27 Do you have an animated logo? It keeps flashing over here.

X-27

@rolfl you have a genuine SE diamond hat, and are not currently, and have never been a mod or other SE staff member?

Hosch250

@X-27 He used to be mod on CR.

X-27

21:17

@Hosch250 no, avatars can not be animated, If they could, mine would look like this.... hold on.....

Click at your own risk.

Whaaaaaat

I KNEW IT

Hosch250

@X-27 Please kill that!

Whaaaaaat

I was trying to type out "Seizure Warning", but I didn't have time.

Hosch250

Closes eyes

David

@Hosch250 it is gone

Whaaaaaat

21:18

Is there a hat for bad typing?

Hosch250

Thank you.

X-27

@Whaaaaaat I hpoe os becuase if thier wsa, Id' be suer to get it.,

Whaaaaaat

We should get a hat for having a cat photo on the profile.

Hosch250

@Whaaaaaat I have a dog profile picture. Does that count?

David

@Hosch250 your $1850 will get you this (without the penguin or games)

X-27

21:19

@Whaaaaaat that would need to be manually awarded, and who would take the time to check everyone's profile?

Whaaaaaat

@X-27 Some AI taught to recognize cats

@Hosch250 Probably. Mine should count too, then.

wait what

Byte Commander

Erm... Maybe stupid question, but what is the countdown on on winterbash2015.stackexchange.com counting? Minutes until it starts?

David

@ByteCommander exactly.

Yes, it's minutes. — bluefeet ♦ Dec 1 at 15:37

Whaaaaaat

@ByteCommander It's a custom metric.

Nobody knows it, really. It's not days, hours, minutes, seconds, anything.

It's some arbitrary time measure

Byte Commander

Ohkay...?

Whaaaaaat

21:22

so let's see what'll happen.

Byte Commander

I have to say the people forming that number is a nice idea, but at least on Firefox, it's sometimes a bit lagging and takes a while until someone can read the number...

Whaaaaaat

Last year, I was graced with being the #1 AU hatter for the first week or so. Two in a row, maybe?

Byte Commander

And how long will it last? Is that date already known?

Whaaaaaat

I have a hat on order already :D

That is, if there is one for chat stars

David

Got an email from SE "This year's event will start on 14 December 2015 and run up to and including 03 January 2016." — David ♦ Dec 6 at 4:44

Byte Commander

21:25

That means 3 weeks of hats fun, yay!

David

(and much wasted time)

Byte Commander

I'm very looking forward to my first winter bash! :D \o/

Whaaaaaat

So 225 flags left to go. At 40 flags/day...

David

@ByteCommander congrats, you are in for fun.

Byte Commander

21:25

:D

Whaaaaaat

everyone unstar my post now. there's a better one

rolfl

OK, So i think the first thing to do is to write an API that scans the mod-users on meta.se, and posts a chat message to each of their posts ..... see if there's an Abby hat this year ;-)

David

@Whaaaaaat I can do that is you really want.

Whaaaaaat

@rolfl And that is when you're banned from the SE API.

David

@rolfl lol, I think Derpy might go to those lengths.

Byte Commander

21:27

@Whaaaaaat It seems to be minutes until 2015/12/14 00:00 UTC+1 currently...

X-27

does it look the same for everyone?

Mat's Mug

that one's blue

Byte Commander

yup.

X-27

Duh.

aside from the blue

David

@X-27 no, you ascii art's ground is longer then all the rest.

Whaaaaaat

21:28

David

like that^^

X-27

bummer....

Byte Commander

Not here... It's correctly aligned for me.

X-27

awesome.

Mat's Mug

question: why isn't there a link to the WinterBash2015 page pinned in here?

X-27

21:29

There is. In the room description

Byte Commander

@Mat'sMug winterbash2015.stackexchange.com is in the room description.

Whaaaaaat

WinterBash 2015 -- Starting midnight 12/14

Mat's Mug

:)

Dan Pantry

@Whaaaaaat to the window.. to the star wall..

Byte Commander

Anyway, got to go. Need to do some other stuff before the bashing starts. o/

Whaaaaaat

21:30

Farm ALL the stars!!

David

@Mat'sMug it is in the room description.

X-27

I've never seen stuff starred that fast.....

David

@ByteCommander yah, like you said...

Hosch250

@X-27 Come to the 2nd Monitor sometime.

Mat's Mug

@David I see, yes. hidden in the room description ;-)

(I should have seen it)

Dan Pantry

21:31

@Hosch250 This. We regularly have star trains.

Mat's Mug

did I miss a star-fest?

Whaaaaaat

Are we going to continue the streak?

David

@Hosch250 or the renderfarm.

please stop, save the dumb staring for when there is a hat to get.

Hosch250

I'm out of stars.

Whaaaaaat

@Hosch250 You're a disgrace to this chat.

David

21:33

@Hosch250 lol, well you wont be getting any hat stars today.

Hosch250

I got all my stars back.

David

@Mat'sMug thanks.

@Hosch250 really, if a mod clears them you can re use them?

Hosch250

I think that is the first time I ran out of stars, and un-ran out.

@David I removed them myself.

X-27

@David If the system reverses your votes, you can't re vote.

David

@Hosch250 I see.

X-27

21:34

(Don't ask me how I know)

Hosch250

Anyway, that is what a star train is, for the uninitiated.

Whaaaaaat

yeah guys. unstar most everything so we can star everything once the hatbash starts

Hosch250

I think the time limit is passed now.

X-27

so we star everything, and then unstar everything. got it.

Whaaaaaat

Get the hats and split.

Leave no evidence for the admins to discover our secret hat-trading ring.

David

21:37

@Whaaaaaat PS I am one of the mods (I wont tell the CMs though)

Whaaaaaat

@David Mods are chill. CMs? No.

Mat's Mug

@David your blueness had already blown your cover ;-)

Whaaaaaat

You opened this chat. You're going down with us. :P

David

@Whaaaaaat community mangers.

@Mat'sMug true!

Mat's Mug

oh, oh they're moving - the stick characters - 141 minutes now!

David

21:39

@Whaaaaaat no problem, I'm planing on coming first on my site again.

Whaaaaaat

i'm going to try to come first for AU

bring glory to the site

David

@Whaaaaaat au = askubuntu?

Whaaaaaat

yes

So, is there going to be a vote ring? or no?

Hosch250

No.

David

probably will be. hard to do though, we are all from different sites.

Mat's Mug

21:45

@David there's always TL :)

David

@Mat'sMug so?

Whaaaaaat

Oh, this is a new type of spam.

Mat's Mug

@Whaaaaaat is?

Whaaaaaat

They send a fake "WesternUnion" email, and then send a second email a few hours later from Department of Homeland Security.

One of which is "We noticed you received an email from WesternUnion. Please ignore those emails."

Hosch250

Does WinterBash start at Reload?

If so, we might as well use our stars up today.

Mat's Mug

21:47

@David I completely misread that lol

David

@Hosch250 I think so.

@Mat'sMug so I figured.

Whaaaaaat

what's reload

Hosch250

UTC 0.

David

@Whaaaaaat SE's start of a new day.

Mat's Mug

in 131 minutes, midnight zulu time

Whaaaaaat

21:48

ah yeah.

Mast

@Whaaaaaat It's CR speak for Midnight.

Whaaaaaat

ah kk

Mast

in The 2nd Monitor, Apr 24 at 23:59, by Duga

RELOAD!

Whaaaaaat

i don't go to CR. so yeah

I probably should though.

Mat's Mug

meaning, your depleted votes are now reloaded

Mast

21:50

Exactly.

It's a remnant from the Zombie hunt

AKA The Mission

dedicated room successfully derailed

Whaaaaaat

So what hats are we suspecting will exist?

Mat's Mug

@Mast they're all like, o.O

David

@Whaaaaaat the easy first day vote hat.

Whaaaaaat

I'm calling one for either making a bounty or getting a bounty.

David

some # edits hat

answer old question hat

Mat's Mug

21:52

@Whaaaaaat the seekrit ones?

Whaaaaaat

@Mat'sMug That and the visible ones

Mast

Oh, there'll definitely be some necromancer hat, yea.

David

@Mat'sMug how many comments do you think abby will get tonight? :)

Hosch250

My new refactoring will be a good post for a hat.

Whaaaaaat

@Mast So I need to pull out the Necronomicon again?

Hosch250

21:54

@David Probably lots, but I don't know if they'd use a secret hat twice - it would be too easy.

Mast

@Whaaaaaat If that's some SEDE query, yes.

Whaaaaaat

/me starts painting goat blood in the form of a pentagram on the floor

Mast

@Hosch250 Probably not, though they could make it a visible one.

Hosch250

I hope they don't do that. Everyone will spam the poor woman.

Whaaaaaat

Everyone did.

David

21:55

@Hosch250 they most definitely will not have the hair boat, but that will not stop us from trying. :)

Hosch250

I won't try until after you verify it.

Mast

We'll have a pseudo-good reason to spam anyway.

David

@Hosch250 that is a good idea.

David

22:06

under 2 hours!

Whaaaaaat

22:19

100 minutes!

David
