Blue in the Feet is about comments interacting with the OP on one post

Try doing that, with >3 comments

veryRandomMe

on one post?

Andrew Li

Yeah

all the people with it have at least 3 comments on the same post talking to the OP

Wait

The post should be your answer

veryRandomMe

oh

that's harder

Andrew Li

Yeah because you're "blue in face" if the OP keeps commenting that it didn't work

veryRandomMe

yeah, makes sens

e

well

I just got Hero of Questions and no longer grinchy

Andrew Li

14:09

Nice

I want to test out my blue in the face theory

veryRandomMe

Can I help?

Andrew Li

Dunno

If anyone has open questions I can answer...

veryRandomMe

what communities are you active on?

Andrew Li

SO

Wait

It may just be a comment on your answer then an edit

veryRandomMe

well, I don't dare venture over that way

@AndrewLi hmmm

Does the answer need to be new?

Andrew Li

14:14

@veryRandomMe I guess

Are you on SO

veryRandomMe

sort of

not exstensively

Andrew Li

Try it on one of my old answers then

Comment on one of them

veryRandomMe

Try what?

oh ok

Very interesting, good to know — veryRandomMe 10 secs ago

Andrew Li

Wow interesting choice

veryRandomMe

lol

Andrew Li

14:17

One of my first answers on SO. A bad one IMO

Mithrandir

I'm testing on Puzzling now

veryRandomMe

I picked one of the oldest ones

Andrew Li

@veryRandomMe Done. I edited.

Now we wait

veryRandomMe

let me know if it works or you have something else to try

Andrew Li

I replied to your comment just in case

veryRandomMe

14:19

ok

Andrew Li

So far, no dice

veryRandomMe

ok

Stewartside

Any idea what the elementary badge is, seen a couple of people with it now

Andrew Li

How the heck did this get so popular

@Stewartside Not sure

sherlock holmes is all we know

Maybe elementary is digging in past bashes?

veryRandomMe

hmm

Andrew Li

14:30

Something to do with Eureka and Archimedes

veryRandomMe

But there isn't one for discovering secret hat triggers

Andrew Li

Yeah

veryRandomMe

maybe it is get x number of secret hats

Andrew Li

Regarding Elementary -- "A secret hat for correctly guessing a secret hat will no longer be awarded." — Scimonster 5 hours ago

Blue in the face was a bust

veryRandomMe

bummer

Andrew Li

14:33

A secret that won't be rewarded?

Look in the past to test each one?

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

8,243,721 hat. Have you found how it is acquired?

veryRandomMe

nope

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

I think I got it because I deleted X number of old comments.

David

nope only known hat is 180

veryRandomMe

@TypoCubeᵀᴹ cool, any idea how many?

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

14:35

At least 10, maybe 20.

David

comments older then 6 months, maybe?

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

They weren't that old I think.

Andrew Li

@David We know They Live

@TypoCubeᵀᴹ You mean it's related to Cleanup crew from 2015?

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

I went through my recent history but perhaps. I wasn't wrting down the dates

Andrew Li

> Cleanup Crew is earned by deleting 10 of your own comments on posts that fulfill certain criteria: the post was edited after the comment was posted, the edit was made by the owner of the post, and the owner of the post is not you.

Or was it 6 comments?

David

14:36

@AndrewLi what is it, it is not in the meta post yet.

superman hat too!

Andrew Li

@David Yeah it is

Where??

veryRandomMe

oooh!

Andrew Li

!

David

@AndrewLi no,no the trigger

Andrew Li

@David oh. It's basically confirmed. Check the doc

Stewartside

14:40

@AndrewLi the "confirmed" way to do it hasnt worked for me for They Live

bluefeet

@Stewartside because what I've seen floating around is wrong

David

I highly doubt it is for doing reviews.

Andrew Li

@bluefeet Oh really? How wrong is it :P

bluefeet

@AndrewLi nice try

Andrew Li

I did reviews late last night, and used 5 options then got it. Weird

;)

David

14:43

@AndrewLi had to be something else, you did while doing the review. comment, edit, vote. but it (probably) will have nothing to do with reviewing.

Andrew Li

@David All I did was review and hope for it

veryRandomMe

@David yeah, that was pretty much confirmed last time around

David

@bluefeet can go clean up the comments on the meta post they are getting kind of long.

Andrew Li

Well, I did reject and edit a few

So editing?

David

@AndrewLi so go back and look at the reviews you did, see what it could of been. even timing.

Andrew Li

14:45

Check my actions: stackoverflow.com/users/5647260/andrew-li?tab=activity

Start from 7h ago

Maybe midnight correlates?

veryRandomMe

which hat is it

ok, the developer story hat is not showing up

I am really ticked

It says edit or create two things

Hugo

yeah, I can't get the Developer Story hat to show either

Stewartside

got mine to work by amending the actual job listings I have

veryRandomMe

I've done it several times, over the span of several hours (basically from the beginning) and nothing

Stewartside

not by changing tags

veryRandomMe

14:51

I edited literally everything

David

when you are looking at the new "story" view there will be 3 sections, pretty sure you have to edit 2 of those.

veryRandomMe

also, I didn't have several before, and adding two new sections should get it to you as well

@David I did :(

Q: Winter Bash dropdown header wrong background color

The background color of the winter bash dropdown is declared as nice bright ice-cold blue (I believe the same color that the design was in previous years), instead of the dark midnight blue this year's design uses... Which means that I get a flash of this: Before getting this: It's...

Q: No hat for silver badge on meta

Some hours ago I was awarded the Good Question badge on Meta Stack Overflow: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/help/badges/21/good-question?userid=1529630 It's a silver badge, but I didn't receive the 925 hat earn a silver badge Seems a bug, or is it because meta badges are ignored for hats?

David

post a bug on the meta (good way to get the 150 across site hat too)

veryRandomMe

bluefeet

@veryRandomMe I see only one position, did you try adding a second item for the story? Not tags, but item?

veryRandomMe

I can try that

bluefeet

The description says two items

David

I added two resources I liked. (a book and a site)

Andrew Li

I feel like I'm digging too deep into the hats

It's Hat Season...Announcing Winter Bash 2016

bluefeet on December 19, 2016

Another year is rapidly coming to an end, which means it's time for some fun. Fun with hats! That's right, it's time for our annual event that brings joy to all and creates hat-fanatics everywhere... Winter Bash!

Andrew Li

I've been analyzing every user with 8,234,721 and all they have in common are edits

David

dont know if that was posted here yet

veryRandomMe

@AndrewLi hmm

Andrew Li

But thhe edits have nothing in common AFAIK

David

14:59

@AndrewLi indeed, but it has to be something more specific about the edits. because all we know about taco is "edit"

Andrew Li

Yeah

Maybe code formatting?

DavidPostill

@Stewartside I just got it as well. I think 5+ in 2 chats is close if not the right answer.

veryRandomMe

What about total amount of views on the posts?

@DavidPostill hm

We can test

Andrew Li

rmaddy - all edits are tag ones

veryRandomMe

ah!

David

15:00

@DavidPostill for what hat?

Andrew Li

^

DavidPostill

@David taco

I had more than 5 in RA. Posted 5 in Charcoal and got the hat.

David

you mean post a chat messages that get 5 stars, in two different rooms?

Andrew Li

Unheilig tag edits galore

David

I did not have any from during the bash.

Jeff Schaller

15:02

regarding taco, could it be a "leave closed" review action? I did that, and also performed two tag edits

Andrew Li

But they are after she got the hat...

David

@AndrewLi and I edited tags, but not exclusively tags.

@JeffSchaller nope, I do lots of review, did not get it for that.

Andrew Li

Stewartside

@AndrewLi mild mannered reporter, so could be someone who flags for mods attention and that flag is approved (maybe x amount of times to do so). I haven't seen anybody with the badge yet though

David

15:09

@Stewartside nope, they have flat out said no hats for flagging.

Stewartside

hmmmm

Mithrandir

8,???,??? is for deleteing comments I think

I just got it

Alexander O'Mara

@Mithrandir How many? I deleted at least 10 already.

Andrew Li

@Mithrandir 6 comments?

David

@Mithrandir were they old comments? and ~how many

Mithrandir

15:12

I deleted like 30 today

New ones

Andrew Li

Ugh

David

Mithrandir

David

Mithrandir

Alexander O'Mara

15:13

@Mithrandir Trying to hat...

David

Andrew Li

Who wants to go on a commenting spree and document what you did?

veryRandomMe

:P

Andrew Li

Saiid

Bhargav Rao

All my new comments are the auto generated move to comments ones :(

Andrew Li

Stewartside

I have a new idea for the 8,243,721 badge

Andrew Li

veryRandomMe

still haven't gotten the link related one . . . is this the right format: http://blender.stackexchange.com/q/68825/6204

Bhargav Rao

stackoverflow.com/users/4099593/… this is bad, upto the 6th page there's no available comment to delete

Saiid

15:19

delete 8,243,721 bytes of comment data

veryRandomMe

lol

Stewartside

there have currently been 8,188,953 reviews. Could it be to help towards that target by hitting the limit on all of the review queues?

Andrew Li

But Bert's favorite number is 6!

Stewartside

the only person I see with it is Unheilig, who did a huge amount of reviews

im gonna give it a go

Andrew Li

@Stewartside Yeah they do, but 8,234,721 is Ernie's favorite number

Bhargav Rao

15:20

@AndrewLi there is another secret hat with number 6

Check the Google docs

I added it

Andrew Li

@BhargavRao Where?

Who has it

@BhargavRao does anyone even have 6 yet?

veryRandomMe

yes, I saw one

Bhargav Rao

Yeah, I saw it. I'm on phone so can't link

Dang this is hard

Thanks. Looks like I've had 5 clicks on the unique share link, but no hat yet. Surely SE chat counts as social media! :)

Could you please click through the twitter? twitter.com/__alecxe/status/810716740497899520

@Mithrandir Are you sure? I don't think it detects what site you're coming from

Mithrandir

15:44

Yes, I'm sure

For the badges, at least

Andrew Li

I'm going to commenting, since many hats seem to be related to that

veryRandomMe

hats or badges?

Mithrandir

Fairly sure that it applies to hats too

David

@Mithrandir nope. I got my two from right in this room

veryRandomMe

hah

David

15:44

so there is a 10 minute hat getting delay!?!?!

veryRandomMe

@AndrewLi yeah, I saw that . . . it's awful

Stewartside

tbh you cant blame them too much for that delay

veryRandomMe

yeah

David

@X-27 kind of, if you just missed the last check then yes there will be. But if you happen to do something to get a hat right before it runs, you get it much faster.

Andrew Li

shrug
