@Mithrandir @AndrewLi got that hat.

What hat?

Blue in the face

@David After 3

How?

No clue.

I saw that hat in leaderboard.

Mithrandir

10:05 AM

Were you editing? Commenting? Asking? Answering?

TAsk

@AndrewLi Could you share any clue about Blue in the face ? :)

Sp3000

Joining chat here because I have no idea how I just got Where in the World - anyone know?

Heslacher

Same problem ^^

Mithrandir

Where In The World secret hat?

Heslacher

yes

fedorqui

10:15 AM

I just got the hat Where in the World in Spanish Language. My last actions were downvoting and flagging an answer as spam, getting a downvote and getting some upvotes in Meta.

Mithrandir

DId you go from the HNQ?

fedorqui

what is HNQ?

Heslacher

Hot network questions

fedorqui

ah. No.

Heslacher

I edited old questions and voted a lot (more than 20 votes gone)

Mithrandir

10:16 AM

I just got it on Ask Ubuntu

orthocresol

@fedorqui Funny, because I was about to say that I got that hat too.

Mithrandir

After heading from the HNQ

fedorqui

I am also chatting in the Spanish Language chat

orthocresol

I received it after visiting /questions

Mithrandir

And upvoting two different answers on questions in the HNQ

Scimonster

10:17 AM

Just got on SO and ELL. ELL i came from the HNQ, SO not.

Martin Ender

re Where in the World, I think it might be tied to tomorrow's date (possibly because of the solstice)

Scimonster

@MartinEnder Just about to say that

Martin Ender

it only kept popping up now and it's 14 hours until 0:00 UTC

Glorfindel

I just got Where in the World (and Cutting the Cord) by downvoting 7 questions via the iOS app, on Meta Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow and Chess.

fedorqui

solstice is tomorrow at 10.44 (wiki). Could it be related to up/downvoting at that time?

Mithrandir

10:19 AM

Nope

I just voted now and got the hat

Kritixi Lithos

What did you vote? An answer or a question?

Mithrandir

Answers

Martin Ender

since it didn't show up before today, and date-based hats are available from 14 hours before until 12 hours after the day (UTC time), a date-based condition seems more likely than a time-based one

Kritixi Lithos

Yeah, maybe just like the First Responder hat (ie dependent on date)

fedorqui

I just performed a vote (precisely, a downvote) today in the site where I got Where in the World

Martin Ender

10:20 AM

ahhh there's sun and moon versions. pretty sure it's the solstice then.

seems a bit like the dress/hat last year where you had to do just about anything on a particular day

Mithrandir

So now I'm #2 hat-wise network-wide.

Wrzlprmft

@MartinEnder Depends on how you define date-based. The date-based hats are in that time range because they are fixed around midnight. This one might not be tied to midnight but some other time.

Mithrandir

Like, the time of the solstice?

Kritixi Lithos

I'm just glad that PPCG is ranked 6th site-wise :)

Wrzlprmft

@Mithrandir Let’s not jump to conclusions.

Mithrandir

10:22 AM

@Wrzlprmft Just throwing out a suggestion.

Kritixi Lithos

@fedorqui Was it on an answer or a question?

orthocresol

On Chemistry, where I got Where in the World, my last vote was an upvote on a question.

Kritixi Lithos

Maybe you have to vote 12 hours before midnight (as per your local time)

Mithrandir

Experiment in progress. We'll see if I get it on Physics and/or AI.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

It could be "voted on 21st of Dec".

fedorqui

10:27 AM

@KritixiLithos my downvote was on an answer

TAsk

Got 'Where in the world' hat by just randomly voting on question and answers.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

All date related hats are usually +- 12h on dates

fedorqui

However, I just got the Where in the moon hat in Travel and Ask Ubuntu, where I had upvoted answers from network posts. So are probably there, @Mithrandir

Mithrandir

Nope, they don't need to be HNQ...

I just got it on AI, where they were not on te HNQ.

Scimonster

Community user has it too

Eran

10:30 AM

I got the Where in the World moon hat on SO. Probably from just voting, or posting an answer. I think any action will work. I tried a couple of votes on other sites to see if I get it there, but if it's tied to the hour, I may have been too late.

Kritixi Lithos

I GOT WHERE IN THE WORLD!

It happened after I voted on two Hot Questions' Answers

Mithrandir

Like Flip Flop from last year, maybe sun/moon are random

TAsk

Hmm..

Calimo

I got Where In The World just after giving an upvote to a 3 years old question

Marius

hey. I just wrote here what I did prior to getting the Taco hat: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/288271/…

Mithrandir

10:32 AM

Anyway, I upvoted two answers that are not on the HNQ, so not the HNQ.

Marius

can someone try to reproduce this?

Rubio

I upvoted one answer to a question I just posted like an hour ago, not on HNQ. also got Moon

Mithrandir

And I didn't get it on Physics, where I upvoted two that were on the HNQ.

Hugo

I got it for answering a three-month old question, got 2 upvotes. Also upvoted the Q.

Sp3000

I should say moon, recent question, upvote, currently night time over here

Mithrandir

10:34 AM

It's day here, got moon. Although I didn't set my location to here

SE thinks I'm in Tauremornalómë

Hugo

also answering a 3-year-old Q, upvoted the Q, got 3 upvotes on my A. Got moon. It's day here.

Eran

I answered a question at 12:00PM my local time (or to be exact 11:59:07AM). Not sure if that time matters.

Volatility

Night here, got sun after old Q/A upvote

Kritixi Lithos

How do you get the Moon hat?

Mithrandir

If you have the sun I don't think you can

TAsk

10:36 AM

Sounds like gives exactly opposite.. Sun for Moon and Moon for Sun. Got Moon here in India.

But it's a sunny day

Kritixi Lithos

Maybe it's regional

orthocresol

@Marius I don't think it's related to answering; I got Taco hat after making an edit (without an edit summary). The last answer I made was ~10 hours before that. The last upvote I received was ~4 hours before that.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

probably random. There was a similar hat last year.

Kritixi Lithos

7 mins ago, by Mithrandir

Like Flip Flop from last year, maybe sun/moon are random

orthocresol

10:39 AM

Ok, I just got Where in the moon on Physics by upvoting a bunch of questions (with no pattern to them).

Mithrandir

I just got on Physics too

Looks like it's just do something now

Scimonster

It's probably just vote on December 21.

Marius

@orthocresol So this may mean that you get the hat only for editing. I edited stuff yesterday and didn't get it. Maybe you have to be the first that edits the post?

Eran

I got Where in the Moon on SciFi and on meta SE. Only one upvote was required.

orthocresol

@Marius That might be so; I was the first editor on the post.

Marius

10:40 AM

@orthocresol same here

Eran

@Scimonster That's probably it

LPs

It seems a joke

I just eearned Where in the World?

secret hat

I have 5 hats

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

About Where in the World: I got in on Travel where my last activity (comments) was 11h ago. I probably voted at about the same time, 10-11h ago. (and a badge "Commentator" awarded 6h ago).

LPs

and I don't know how???

;D

@TypoCubeᵀᴹ Weel maybe

Derpy

@Mithrandir probably based on what copy of the new Pokemon game you bought.

orthocresol

10:43 AM

Regarding sun/moon, I got Where in the World (moon) on meta.SE by downvoting.

So, so far, whether it's upvotes or downvotes doesn't seem to affect it.

Marius

where in the world has for sure has to do with some actions taken today 21st Dec, Winter Solstice.

Mithrandir

I'm checking whether it could be just visiting

anaximander

I just got Where In The World (sun design) on two sites

both by visiting a question via HNQ, and commenting

TAsk

Started getting this..

anaximander

people have noted a possible connection between the WITW hat(s) and the solstice; for reference I'm in GMT and it's 1045 here

Volatility

10:46 AM

@Mithrandir I don't think it is; I was on PSE when I got mine on SO, haven't gotten one for PSE

Kritixi Lithos

@anaximander It's 11:46 here and I still got the hat

orthocresol

GMT+8 18:47 now and got the hat three times

anaximander

@Volatility I'll second that; I visited four or five sites on the network and I only got the hat on two

JonW

I'm in GMT and got the WITW hat.

Only got the hat on a site I took some actions on though. But I've done loads of things on that site so could be anything that triggers it.

Mithrandir

Didn't get it without doing anything.

Voting once gets it.

anaximander

10:48 AM

I upvoted and commented

Mithrandir

HNQ doesn't seem to be relevant.

anaximander

@JonW did you get the sun or the moon version?

JonW

Sun

rekire

I got the sun by triggering an error page

TAsk

Does Amed up count only for FB, twitter and G+ ? Anything else ?

Mithrandir

10:51 AM

Chat.SE

Kritixi Lithos

Please click, I want hat: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/11880/…

Anywhere you can post a link probably works

Bhargav Rao

A new secret hat here stackoverflow.com/users/476/deceze?tab=profile#winter-bash

TAsk

That's cool. Thanks

Volatility

@KritixiLithos You have to use the "share" link with your userid on the end

Mithrandir

10:52 AM

@KritixiLithos You need to click the 'share' button so that it has your userID

Stewartside

Still no Elementary badge >.< :(

Kritixi Lithos

@KritixiLithos yes

Emily M

what is where in the world

is that a secret hat

Kritixi Lithos

Yup

Stewartside

10:55 AM

@EmilyM Yep

anaximander

I just got WITW (sun) on The Workplace

only upvoted there

Kritixi Lithos

ninja'd

Emily M

can someone please put details about it into the google doc on secret hats?

orthocresol

I upvoted two answers on Music: Practice and Theory, but didn't get the badge. On the sites where I got the badge, I had at least two votes on questions.

Emily M

this google doc

orthocresol

10:56 AM

Maybe one is sufficient.

anaximander

so, a) WITW seems to always give you the same design for actions around the same time; I'll have to try something later to see if I get the moon design by doing something at night

and b) it seems that upvotes do it

Умеренно Упоротая Утка

I just got WITW (moon)

I tried to farm it by upvoting 2 answers of hot questions

orthocresol

@orthocresol So, I just got WITW Moon on Music by upvoting one question. Upvoting two answers didn't do it.

anaximander

@УмеренноУпоротаяУтка what time is it where you are?

Умеренно Упоротая Утка

@anaximander 13:57 (moscow)

Panda

10:58 AM

It seems like everyone got it around the same time?

anaximander

@orthocresol what time is it where you are?

Умеренно Упоротая Утка

@anaximander no manipulating with timezones

orthocresol

@anaximander 18:58 (GMT+8)

Stewie Griffin

Got sun here, while the sun was up.

anaximander

ok, so I'm GMT and it's before noon here, and I'm only getting sun

Stewartside

10:59 AM

Im in the UK, 10:58am and not got it

Marius

@orthocresol That's not it. I edited a question on SO website, I was the first to edit and no taco hat for the past 10 minutes.

Умеренно Упоротая Утка

Sounds like it is for action about gmt:00

Panda

@orthocresol Hey, I'm in the same timezone as you

orthocresol

@Marius Hmm, how about the edit summary?

Stewartside

@anaximander what Q did you get it on?

anaximander

10:59 AM

you guys are in GMT+X timezones, and you're both after noon, and you get moon

orthocresol

@Panda Singapore here, the sun is still up, I want my sun hat!!

Marius

@orthocresol Didn't add anything to it.

TAsk

Am I only one who cares about hat and not philosophy behind it ? :D

Panda

@orthocresol I'm in SG too

Volatility

I'm GMT+10 and got sun

Panda

10:59 AM

:P

anaximander

@Volatility what time was it when you got it?

local time

@Stewartside I got it for an upvote on an answer

Volatility

9 something PM

anaximander

sun, in a PM time...

Stewartside

@anaximander As in you upvoted or as in you got an upvote?

anaximander

you're GMT+10

so that's am in GMT

and you got sun

maybe?

orthocresol

11:01 AM

I got moon when it's still AM in GMT.

Panda

@orthocresol I don't seem to get it after upvoting 2 questions

anaximander

@Stewartside I upvoted an answer

ooh, here's a thought

Volatility

oh, apparently I'm GMT+11

Stewartside

@anaximander hmmmmmm, not for me...

anaximander

how old was the question?

no, scratch that

the ones I upvoted were everything between 5 and 22 hours old, and I only got sun hats

Volatility

11:03 AM

It's probably just random and we're spending way too much time on it :P

CinCout

It's definitely related to upvote.

Panda

I got the sun hat!!!

CinCout

I just got it on ELL (moon version)

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

yes. probably random. And once you get the Sun, you'll get the Sun in any other site. No Moon.
If you first get the Moon, you'll get the Moon everywhere

anaximander

I've got it on four sites now, consistently for upvotes

Panda

11:04 AM

@orthocresol

I got the sun one

CinCout

I had just upvoted a question

Panda

Probably just random

orthocresol

@Panda Hmm, do you have a Moon one on any other site?

Kritixi Lithos

Thanks, guys for helping me get the Amped Up hat!

Panda

@orthocresol Lemme try out

anaximander

11:05 AM

it does seem that there's something making people only get one hat

not sure whether it's that once you have one, you're stuck with it, or that the thing that decides which hat hasn't changed

@CinCout what's your timezone?

Stewartside

I just got where in the world

Sun

anaximander

what's your timezone?

CinCout

@anaximander GMT+5:30

Stewartside

GMT, UK

so 11am

must be for voting within UTC 12:00pm (+- an hour) and dependant on timezone

Volatility

Just eye-balling the leaderboard, the split looks fairly even

Panda

11:08 AM

Any relation to timezone?

UTC +8 -- Sun

Is it possible to get both the sun and the moon?

They're the same hat?

Stewartside

@Panda They're named the same so doubtful

Panda

Yea

Martin Ender

Just in case anyone conjectured that, the choice doesn't seem to be based on hemisphere.

Mithrandir

If anyone wants to help me test out Suggested Edit queue hats, head over to Puzzling or SFF...

You can even do tag wiki edits on SFF :P

CinCout

I created my developer story on SO, still no hat. Anyone?

Panda

11:18 AM

@CinCout You need to edit/add 2 items

CinCout

items are fields right? @Panda

Hugo

@Panda Create/edit two new items

Where in the World theory: tomorrow is the winter solstice. badges started arriving soon after 10 UTC.
Kiritimati is UTC+14.
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/kiribati/kiritimati
10 UTC is midnight Kirimati, where it just turned solstice day.
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20161220&p2=274

Panda

@CinCout Yea, add 2 items to the 'timeline'

I think once you get either a sun/moon, you won't be able to get the other one on other sites. So it's either all suns or all moons

Chenmunka

I've just got Where In The World on Mythology. All I did was vote 30 times.

CinCout

I got WITW on 3 sites.. all moon

Panda

11:21 AM

@Chenmunka Just 1-3 upvotes will earn it

@CinCout I got all sun

on 3 sites

Emily M

I got where in the world

CinCout

Thanks for the tip @Panda

Panda

Np

Chenmunka

@Panda: Ahh. I used 30 votes as it got me Civic Duty -> 925!

Panda

Cool :P

CinCout

11:24 AM

I got 5 WITW.. all moons

while I can see sun out the window :P

Stewartside

@CinCout Think once you get 1, the design wont change

CinCout

yeah.. like the dress one last year

Emily M

Do you guys think where in the world refers to how you can estimate a users location based upon the timezone they appear to be posting from based upon deviation from UTC?

and them implying your location is nonexistant

Stewartside

could it be to do with how you voted. Sun for upvote, moon for down?

Emily M

aka a timezone that doesnt really have any real land locations or something

CinCout

11:28 AM

downvotes have no effect

only upvotes are earning the hat

orthocresol

I got it on meta.SE by downvoting twice

CinCout

strange!

bluefeet

Hey y'all before you start advertising how to get secret hats make sure the trigger is correct.

12

orthocresol

I am not sure but it might have something to do with the interval between my two votes. I'm testing it out again.

CinCout

@bluefeet agreed

Stewartside

11:32 AM

Feel like bluefeet knows all the solutions but just wont tell us

CinCout

like.. blue in the face ;)

bluefeet

@Stewartside Of course I do, and no I won't tell

Stewartside

:'( </3

CinCout

where's the fun in that ? @Stewartside

Stewartside

Well I'll have a hat....

that's fun, right?

Someone with "Where in the World" hat lives in another hemiphere than usual or as posted in his profile?

CinCout

@juergend not me

I have the Taco hat but no clue how!! @Pikoh

Pikoh

BTW i just got the "moon" hat, the only thing i've done is a comment and upvoting 1 question and 1 answwer

Jeroen Mostert

This is Fine doc currently says "Answer must be posted after the start of Winter Bash 2016". I can confirm this is not true. I posted an answer on Dec 13, and the one that received the bounty is from that date as well. The bounty was awarded after the start, of course.

Rand al'Thor

My guess: "Where in the World" is for posting or voting while it's 21 Dec somewhere in the world.

(Having just got a couple of those on sites where I've hardly done anything today.)

Bhargav Rao

11:42 AM

I got it for upvoting a HNQ

JonW

@Randal'Thor That reflects my experience. Just upvoted a question and answered it and got the hat. That's the onlyt actions I've done on that site.

I got the Sun one. It's GMT here (11:45am)

orthocresol

The timezone probably doesn't have anything to do with Sun/Moon.

JonW

The hats have always been a bit 'loose' with the accuracy of date-based ones. They have always triggered pretty early for ones explicitly based around a particular day.

Rand al'Thor

@JonW Oh, are there two variants again?

I got moons.

Mithrandir

Like Flip Flop last year.

Videonauth

11:45 AM

@Randal'Thor just got the where in the world, all i did untill now was answerning a question, but then close voting it because its a dupe

Bhavin Ramani

You can get "Where in the World" by upvoting but don't know how many times.

Rand al'Thor

@Mithrandir Exactly.

CinCout

@Bhavin just one is enough

once*

Bhavin Ramani

how can i get moon?

Mithrandir

If you have sun you can't

Ankit Sharma

11:52 AM

JonW

Maybe you can get the sun on one site and the moon on another?

Bhavin Ramani

Ankit Sharma

@JonW no. I tried on way many site. ONly got moon
