I keep thinking UTC ends at 7:00 but it's at 6:00 because of DS :(

@Panda From editing posts with reject & edit

If only we could figure out the criteria

Samuel Liew

@JamesENL Oh hey, I was from Curtin too

Q: What counts as participating in closure/deletion for Abominable?

I'm a lowly <3K user and I want the Abominable hat. Some questions: Can I earn this with a close flag rather than a VtC? Can I earn this by deleting my own question? Are there any other ways for a lowly <3K user like me to "participate" in a successful closure without posting intentionally bad ...

David

@BhargavRao how many did you edit to get the elementary hat? Because I got it after doing 4 that were 2 years old.

Andrew Li

1:02 AM

@SamuelLiew Ping me when you give the bounty, I'll bump that answer up

Panda

It might be staying in chat for a certain amount of time

Andrew Li

doubt it

Samuel Liew

@AndrewLi Gotcha, thanks

Panda

Yea

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

have we confirmed that self-close counts for abominable?

i.e. community hammers it

Andrew Li

1:15 AM

I got blue in the face

2

what the heck

I wasn't even using SO

Panda

@AndrewLi You just got it?

Nice! :P

JamesENL

Maybe it's something about chat messages

David

@AndrewLi that i would check what just got voted. maybe comments too

Rob

Oh, he got 10 stars just now

For the pinned message

Panda

@Rob That might be the criteria

Samuel Liew

1:18 AM

Now we need a message to star, for science

JamesENL

Me me me

Rob

So.. uh.. I have a message up there that can be starred a bit more

cough

Panda

Star me! :P

Andrew Li

Ha

Samuel Liew

But that would spam the messages on the right

Panda

1:19 AM

Star in the sandbox

Samuel Liew

Why don't we create a room to star each other's messages?

Good idea

Good idea

Create on SO?

Meta SE?

I just hit 11 stars, how many are expected to do something?

Rob

Panda

Ok, I've gotten Elementary on Stack Overflow - 3 posts from '13 and 2 posts from '12

nice

Thanks :)

1:31 AM

What? Winter Bash and suddenly people don't upvote whatever answers are on the expiring bounty?

Ramanujan

How to get secret hat??????

Andrew Li

False alarm false alarm

JamesENL

sigh

Andrew Li

What have I done haha

Samuel Liew

@AndrewLi You created a happy room, and I played a part :x

1:33 AM

It's too late. You let the bird out of the cake

JamesENL

So close and yet so far

Panda

Lol

We still don't know how it's awarded ;)

JamesENL

Now I may not be the sharpest knife in the crayon draw......

Balarka Sen

I don't even get what it's a reference to, "Blue In The Face"

Rob

@AndrewLi Are you active in any chat rooms other than SOCVR on SO?

Balarka Sen

1:34 AM

I do think it's about chatting though

Rob

@BalarkaSen Bluefeet moderator - as per every year. 'Blue in the face' means you keep repeating something until you're 'blue in the face'

JamesENL

maybe it's stars on a SO chat room?

Alexander O'Mara

That was an SO chat room.

2

JamesENL

Or number of messages posted?

Has anyone got that hat on a site other than SO?

Saiid

Maybe repeatedly commenting on something?

Ramanujan

1:35 AM

Or not using site for 10 days?

Balarka Sen

@Rob yeah, so maybe one has to talk a lot

shrug

Rob

Yep, but apparantly Andrew was not using the site when he got it

Andrew Li

660 messages yesterday

Rob

Unless it was super delayed, it might be someone else doing somethin gto your comment/message

David

@Saiid that's not the trigger for Elementary. we have had multiple users (myself included) that got it from less then 5

Andrew Li

1:36 AM

I was playing an instrument

Alexander O'Mara

Someone post in that room

Rob

@AndrewLi Are you active in any SO chat rooms atm? Or when you got it?

Andrew Li

Nope

Alexander O'Mara

Someone post in that room

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

do you have to get the edits approved for elementary?

Saiid

1:37 AM

@David That's how it was triggered for several of us..

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

wait, nvm

Saiid

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yes

Alexander O'Mara

Someone post in that room

David

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ definitely

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Saiid then I don't think that's it

Panda

1:38 AM

Elementary is chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/34223186#34223186

I just got it

Saiid

why?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I would say it's doubtful you have to get them approved, not many of the hats rely on rep

Alexander O'Mara

Now to wait and see if repeating myself works.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

so edit old posts though?

Saiid

Yes

Alexander O'Mara

1:39 AM

Maybe Blue has to do with closing a question as a duplicate of one you already answered?

JamesENL

But then why isn't the badge called déjà vu

Saiid

or repeated open/close?

@JamesENL because bluefeet wanted to name one after themself

JamesENL

But then why isn't the badge called déjà vu

David

@AlexanderO'Mara could be

JamesENL

Get it?

Andrew Li

1:41 AM

Blue in the feel totally fits my avatar

Rob

Pretty sure I figured it out

JamesENL

I need this as a ringtone: youtube.com/watch?v=hvZhMyFnhk4

Rob

Looks suspicious

Both of them were just before Andrew got the hat

Andrew Li

@Rob That makes sense. I did repeat myself and I got lots of upvotes

Panda

Yea, duplicates make one blue in the face

Rob

1:42 AM

Found a question I'm going to hammer in a few minutes

Andrew Li

Can we close the one Rob linked?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

as dupe?

Andrew Li

5 upvotes on the dupe comment yet only 3 CVs

Rob

Question wasn't closed for it

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Rob for testing the blue face?

Rob

1:43 AM

Yeah

Panda

Wait, does it need to be closed?

Rob

No

I'll hammer it later (apart from hat searching)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Rob what do we think it is?

Rob

But I'm curious if upvotes on the two comments posted at the same time yields anything

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh, community has the taco?

so it's definitely related to closing or editing then

Panda

1:44 AM

Taco seems to be awarded when one is least expecting it

Andrew Li

Editing == Taco.Category

But what the heck is the criteria?!

Saiid

Taco and Elementary are similar enough that if you don't yet have Taco, when you receive Elementary, you will likely receive Taco along with it

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara How do you have 17 hats? :o

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

majik

Panda

I received it with They Live

Andrew Li

1:46 AM

^

Dunno the criteria for that either

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

that one is probably related to old edits

Andrew Li

I got it from reviewing

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh hm

Andrew Li

Which has only been semi-reproduced

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

maybe for closing/ro-ing a old question?

Videonauth

1:47 AM

I got my Taco while editing first posts in the review cue and other review ques

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AndrewLi the they live?

took a few

what did you review?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yes

maybe it's edit first posts

@AndrewLi what did you review?

Andrew Li

1:47 AM

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Suggested edits

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi By being awesome?

Videonauth

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ primarily first posts and low quality

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara How could I forget

Only 45 more edits till gold badge

Panda

Is it editing while in review?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AndrewLi check your review history?

Videonauth

1:48 AM

ah yes and i improved a few edit suggestion

Andrew Li

Home stretch baby

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AndrewLi *till another hat!

Alexander O'Mara

To be honest, I'm not sure. I can't seem to stumble on the secret hats like others are.

Andrew Li

that too :)

Lloyd Dominic

Oh, okay!

Andrew Li

1:52 AM

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Andrew Li

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I have a part-time remote job though, that helps

Andrew Li

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

1:53 AM

@10Replies you have to add 2 things to your timeline

Andrew Li

You need to create or update 2 timeline items

Lloyd Dominic

@AndrewLi Oh, okay thanks! :)

Panda

The easiest is to add a few of your posts

David

@LloydDominic you can just keep it private. (that is how mine is)

Andrew Li

you can?

Lloyd Dominic

1:53 AM

okay ...

David

Samuel Liew

@AndrewLi Leave the upvote on for 15 mins. I'll delete it later anyway

@AndrewLi If it works, this user should also receive it stackoverflow.com/users/1218980, if I don't, means own answers are ineligible

Lloyd Dominic

    Look at "The NeverEnding Story" hat ...

    Do I earn that hat if I have my Developer Story (which I have never been done before ...)?,
    or, update the Developer Story?

Q: Golf you a quine for great good!

Using your language of choice, golf a quine. A quine is a non-empty computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output. No cheating -- that means that you can't just read the source file and print it. Also, in many languages, an empty file is...
