Yay! Now to wait for hats.

quartata

I panicked for a second because I thought Winterbash had started early or something

David

@quartata nah, I'm just excited about it. Hard to weight, so I have to do something WB-ish.

HATZ

David

@quartata PS how did you finf the room? I just made it.

quartata

15:18

I think we're all hyped for the hat season

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Maype it should be shoppe?

quartata

@David Saw it in all rooms

David

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ maybe, but then that would be the same name as some real stores.

@quartata cool

quartata

It's gonna be tough for me to top last season's Onion Knight fiasco

@BhargavRao :) you just can't stay away from the hats.

quartata

Here's to more prestigious secrets hats to fill the holiday-shaped void in my heart

Bhargav Rao

Yep :D

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

ditto

quartata

15:22

Speaking of which where's @Pops

David

@quartata don't know, but he will not be the hat master this year. The CMs take turns.

Bhargav Rao

It's bluefeet most likely.

David

yep, that's what I expect.

quartata

Ah yes...

Wrzlprmft

@David I the the double article intentional?

David

15:34

@Wrzlprmft slightly. Ye fits with the whole "olde" name, but I thought I needed "the" in the front for two reasons. 1 because most people do not know that ye means, 2 I id not want the exact same name as a real store.

if you think it would be better without, feel free to change it.

Wrzlprmft

@David Neither sounds like a big problem to me. 1. It’s archaic; it’s supposed to be somewhat cryptic. 2. Change hat to hatte to avoid it.

Hmm, so many options:
Ye Olde Hat Shoppe
Ye Olde Hatte Shoppe
Þe Olde Hat Shoppe
Þe Olde Hatte Shoppe

X-27

HATS!!!!!!!
Yepepppppeeeeyyyyyyyyy

David

@Wrzlprmft hmm "hatte", I actually never heard that one.

Wrzlprmft

@David … which just makes it feel even more archaic.

David

@Wrzlprmft lol, but we still want people to know what the (important) word is.

I will destroy you and everything you hold dear

3 days 8 hours until Winterbash 2016

quartata

Ah yes hello

I figure a countdown might help

Ghanima

well there is

winterbash2016.stackexchange.com

quartata

Well it's in seconds which is annoying at least for me

Bhargav Rao

289000 seconds left

David

(in the room description...)

quartata

15:42

@BhargavRao It's at 050 for me

Ghanima

who'd consider this annoying ;)

David

@quartata nah, that is how we all are counting it down. we need to know how many secs we have left to do real work.

Waiting is so hard!!!

we want hats! Now!

David

I'm finding I dont have enough time before the bash.

quartata

Has there been any word from CMs about which feature requests will get implemented?

(if any)

David

15:45

I have stuff I need to get done (that I'm pretty sure wont when the bash is live)

Q: What should we do for Winterbash 2016?

This is in the same vein as Winter Bash closing remarks - ideas for next year as What should we consider for next year's Winter Bash?. I figured we might as well have one for this year. . . So, Winterbash 2015 is over. The hats have been put back into storage, the snowflakes are gone, and the ti...

David

@Wrzlprmft what character did you use in the first word?

quartata

@David That's a thorn I believe

Thorn (letter)

Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ) is a letter in the Old English, Gothic, Old Norse and modern Icelandic alphabets, as well as some dialects of Middle English. It was also used in medieval Scandinavia, but was later replaced with the digraph th, except in Iceland, where it survives. The letter originated from the rune ᚦ in the Elder Fuþark and was called thorn in the Anglo-Saxon and thorn or thurs (a category of beings in Germanic paganism) in the Scandinavian rune poems. Its reconstructed Proto-Germanic name is Thurisaz. It is similar in appearance to the archaic Greek letter sho (ϸ), although both are...

David

@quartata Oh, nope I haven't heard.

Wrzlprmft

@quartata indeed

David

maybe we should just stick to the basic latin plane, so the name is searchable.

because right now nobody will ever know what "þ" is.

Ghanima

15:50

spread the word, reinstate the "TH"

X-27

@David ^^^ good point...

David

@Ghanima one problem, I'd need a new keyboard.

Wrzlprmft

@David You can still search for hat shoppe.

@David It can easily be done with any reasonable compose-key system

Ghanima

@David look, you've just made a point for a capitalist system, how many "real" keyboards are out there and need to be replaced, big deal, yeeha

David

@Ghanima and here I thought the WB wasn't political.

Ghanima

15:53

It's business not politics :)

David

thats what they all say... :)

Ghanima

;)

Wrzlprmft

@Ghanima Actually, using a new keyboard for a new keyboard layout is mostly a bad idea. If you switch your keyboard layout anyway, you should use the opportunity to learn touch typing. While learning this, having the function of a key printed on it is actually a bad thing. The only reason why I have a printed keyboard is for the rare things that I do not remember by heart.

X-27

for what it's worth, I like "ye" better than "þe" - since the way it look now, it looks like it should be read, "be old hat shop"

Wrzlprmft

@X-27 Well, how would you read ye?

@Ghanima By the way, since you are located in Germany: neo-layout.org

X-27

15:57

@Wrzlprmft just that "y-e"

David

all I see from the first character is "russian spam"

Wrzlprmft

@X-27 But, it’s actually read like the.

Ghanima

I will not relearn touch typing, way to old and neural flexibility is all but a myth

X-27

@David lol

Wrzlprmft

@David If anything, it’s Icelandic and Faroese spam.

David

15:59

@Wrzlprmft true but our ratio of Icelandic and Faroese spam to russian spam is MUCH higher on the russian side, so I'm more use to it.

@Wrzlprmft if it is ok with you I'm going to change the name to "Ye Olde Hat Shoppe"

Wrzlprmft

@David Go ahead.

David

Wrzlprmft

It already looks like a turned bowler hat.

David

Wrzlprmft

On the other hand, it can also be interpreted as a mouth with a tongue sticking out.

@David Can buy a hat from your hat shoppe?

Josh Silveous

20:23

How expensive are hats here? I'm looking for a Beanie with the baseball cap thing sticking out

quartata

Wait 3 days and you'll find out ;P
