Hey, how can I get the "Where in the World" moon? :D

PearsonArtPhoto

It seems like all you have to do is participate in a site.

DavidPostill

@Renan You can't. It's one or the other.

PearsonArtPhoto

Ahh, never mind...

Renan

@PearsonArtPhoto @DavidPostill thank u :D

alecxe

@Roberrrt thanks. Could it be something like: post a comment, delete some old comment, have an upvoted comment..like have all the possible actions with comments in a day..

that would probably be too easy and we would see more "blue in the face"

DavidPostill

16:07

I haven't deleted any comments so that theory is wrong.

alecxe

alright, thanks

Roberrrt

I think edit > upvote

Alexander O'Mara

Still not getting Where in the World

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

^

Saiid

weird

all I did is vote

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:15

are both the moon and mask where in the world?

Saiid

yes

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

if so, they're like the "the dress" hat from last year?

Saiid

I have no idea

DavidPostill

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Yes. You get one or the other not both.

Saiid

^

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:15

cool

Alexander O'Mara

never mind, just got it.

Saiid

I think it depends on UTC time (if it's day in UTC you get sun, night you get moon)

DavidPostill

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ the mask is the sun, btw.

@Saiid No. I got moon this morning in the UK.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DavidPostill yeah

Kritixi Lithos

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Did you get your Elementary hat?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:17

yeah

Saiid

@DavidPostill hmm

guess it's random then

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

both of them yesterday, for editing 5 3yo questions

Kritixi Lithos

I'm doing the same now

Hugo

Attempting to get this to 2,500 views for a badge/hat! english.stackexchange.com/q/65963/9001 (feel free to star this and click it!)

veryRandomMe

have fun

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:21

@Hugo you already have one silly ;p

TheSharpieOne

Testing theory, can someone please upvote: stackoverflow.com/a/41246784/1873485

Hugo

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ haha, can't have too many hats!

@TheSharpieOne done

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

ikr

TheSharpieOne

@Hugo Thanks

Now, we wait

DavidPostill

@Hugo Done

@TheSharpieOne Done

Saiid

16:29

@Hugo Done

@Pieon Done

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@KritixiLithos if you're going for old posts, that one is only from may

Kritixi Lithos

What's from May?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

the question you just edited

Bhargav Rao

Asking a question on StackApps from phone

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

you can definitely link it here

Kritixi Lithos

16:36

Just edited the tags for Taco (maybe)

TheSharpieOne

I got taco without editing any tags

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

^

veryRandomMe

Yeah

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

it's not tags

veryRandomMe

It doesn't relate to content at all

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:37

I think it has something to do with consecutive edits removing characters

Kritixi Lithos

Somebody in the 19th byte suggested it may have to do with edit (explanation) length

TheSharpieOne

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ My actions would concur with that.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

so would mine

@KritixiLithos mine all have none

always

I'm always too lazy to fill it out

TheSharpieOne

My original theory was not putting an edit summary (explanation), but others claim they did that and still got it.

Videonauth

well i have no clue what i just did but just got the blue in my face one, after having comented on a question, and then answered said question !?

Kritixi Lithos

16:39

Did your comment get a vote?

Videonauth

erm lemme check

Yep two comments with each one upvote

Kritixi Lithos

Did you edit your comments?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

that's not for taco

Videonauth

@KritixiLithos no

this is the question i was on as i got it : askubuntu.com/questions/862736/…

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

maybe it's for getting a secret hat?

Kritixi Lithos

16:42

So comments with votes is Blue in the Face (probably)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

or do we have people wihtout the taco

@KritixiLithos yeah

Kritixi Lithos

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I don't have taco yet

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

what secret hats do you have?

TheSharpieOne

someone upvote my comment on stackoverflow.com/q/41243111/1873485

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Protip: If you start today, using the maximum daily votes allowed all on questions, you can get a gold badge by the end of winterbash.

Kritixi Lithos

16:45

Mods will suspend you for suspicious voting patterns

TheSharpieOne

They have to expect something like that would happen...

bluefeet

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ why?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I just accidentally reached my daily vote limit, and noticed that that's getting closer to a gold badge.

Alexander O'Mara

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Is there a hat specifically for using up your votes?

TheSharpieOne

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ accidentally.... are you sure?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:47

yeah, why?

TheSharpieOne

j/k

RamenChef

@KritixiLithos what's suspicious about casting a lot of votes?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

serial voting

TheSharpieOne

drop the ban hammer

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@RamenChef aka voting on a specific user's (or users') posts to give them rep

or just messing by voting on bad questions

Alexander O'Mara

16:48

This comment looks like it could use an upvote (for testing): stackoverflow.com/questions/41247205/…

Kritixi Lithos

in The Nineteenth Byte, yesterday, by Dennis

The next person who abuses his privileges to get hats will get a suspension instead, until the day after Winter Bash.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AlexanderO'Mara done

Kritixi Lithos

Also that ^^ I'm scared to edit now

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

any clue on how you got they live?

@KritixiLithos lol

I just aim for making them worthwhile edits/votes/whatever

only do it if you'd normally do it

Kritixi Lithos

Then I'd almost never edit :P

Alexander O'Mara

16:50

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Review old edits in review queue maybe.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

hm, maybe

@KritixiLithos lol

Kritixi Lithos

I think it was trying out all the options in the review edit queue

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

PPCG's queues are dead, and I only have review privs there and arqade

Kritixi Lithos

I got elementary and taco

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

why aren't you wearing them?

everybody needs a taco

Kritixi Lithos

16:53

I'm ahead of you @EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ :)

TheSharpieOne

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Well, it is Tuesday....

Kritixi Lithos

I don't want to mess my avatar

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@KritixiLithos lol nice

wait you're not

you're tied with me

no

Bhargav Rao

Asked it stackapps.com/q/7149/42239

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

you have 9, I have 10

Bhargav Rao

16:54

Asked it on phone and it killed my fingers

Kritixi Lithos

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Wait for it to update

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oic

do you have 11?

ye

@KritixiLithos how'd you get bert?

Kritixi Lithos

Bert?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

"6"

Kritixi Lithos

I have no idea

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:56

also, you'll have 12 hats in a moment, remember?

there's a hat for 11 hats

Kritixi Lithos

:)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I have 1 guarenteed whenever mego awards a bounty

need to catch up :P

Kritixi Lithos

For which hat?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@KritixiLithos let me know if you find a question for the 180° hat

er

I actually meant to type the text this is fine but whatever

Kritixi Lithos

this is not fine

Q: Why are there two different hats for "Where in the World"?

I am wondering why some got a moon and others got a sun as Where in the World hat for the same action: vs. And is it possible two collect both e.g. from different sites? I only get moons… I know that there has already been some spoilering Winter Bash 2016 - All Hats.

Kritixi Lithos

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Yeah, and tell me once you found a question for the 180 hat

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

DavidPostill

DavidPostill

Done and done

James Thorpe

Just dropping in after getting the "6" hat - any talk about what might trigger this yet? One thing is that I commented on a question that was closed and then subsequently deleted by a mod - haven't really had too much other activity preceeding this hat being awarded.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

thanks for 2 I guess

Emily M

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ youtube.com/watch?v=0oBx7Jg4m-o

Best way to get hats: post a nice question from mobile and answer it (get +3 votes)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

17:07

@KritixiLithos *answer it 5 times, each with +3

so far I've gotten the moon on meta.se, PPCG, and SFF

all the moon

@arda oooh nice theory

but which hat would that be for?

I won't wear one as my current picture has one :P We'll see

@AlexanderO'Mara tried to repeat phrases as well, no luck so far

@AlexanderO'Mara and had some experiments with voting on comments, but no luck as well

Tim B

I just got the sun Where in the world, only action was a very old answer being accepted.

MasterBob

hmm, still not yet. oh wow, it lists hm as bad grammar, but not hmm

i voted up and i got a hat

and i was like, what happened

Alexander O'Mara

Just got Mild Mannered.

No idea why.

MasterBob

i got the 5 click hat thx guys

@Alexander do you know what you did?

oh nvm

@Alexander but what were your actions

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob I commented the same thing twice here (trying to get Bluefeet): stackoverflow.com/questions/41247205/…

Not much else in the time frame.

Andrew Li

17:29

@AlexanderO'Mara how are you getting so many hats?

DavidPostill

@AlexanderO'Mara I got it without two identical comments on the same question. I did have 5 upvoted comments on different questions.

arda

shouldiblamecaching.com

DavidPostill

@arda And if you reload the page?

Alexander O'Mara

@arda Yeah, I saw that before. They get out of sync. Once you get enough, it won't be noticeable.

@DavidPostill second reload worked

MasterBob

@KritixiLithos do you know what you did?

Kritixi Lithos

No idea

MasterBob

oh well

i could have got this is fine long ago

but the bounty was awarded before winter bash :(

TheSharpieOne

@DavidPostill You think the 5 upvotes on a comment is key?

DavidPostill

@TheSharpieOne I'm not sure, worth a try (it must be different comments - on 5 comments I have 4 +1 and 1 +2).

Videonauth

17:40

@TheSharpieOne for sure not the case, i got two upvodes on comments today and got the blue in my face

Bhargav Rao

I got the 6 hat now.

alecxe

could it be the timing of a comment?

Bhargav Rao

Wut?

alecxe

like, posting a comment within certain time after the post date

and get an upvote

MasterBob

@alecxe and let me guess, 6 minutes?

alecxe

17:47

@MasterBob nono, I meant for the blue in the face..yeah, probably it was a stupid idea

MasterBob

i have a question, can you get both the sun and the moon hats?

alecxe

nope

Saiid

alecxe

@BhargavRao what did you do, anything specific to note?

jokerdino

17:53

Maybe he got 6 secret hats.

Alexander O'Mara

Here's a -3 question that IMO isn't that bad: stackoverflow.com/questions/41247926/…

MasterBob

theres also 011, which is related, so @jokerdino you could be right

Bhargav Rao

@alecxe nope .... Nothing that specific

alecxe

@AlexanderO'Mara okay, let's do that

we should make it +3, right?

MasterBob

but again theres bert

Alexander O'Mara

17:54

@alecxe It would need to reach +3, with answers of +5 I think.

alecxe

okay, upvoted the question and now out of upvotes for today

MasterBob

Ooh I answered a question with a bounty (I don't think I'm going to get it) so can you upvote? At least, if you're not out of upvotes...

It's right here: stackoverflow.com/a/41248527/5535493

thx

Saiid

np

jokerdino

The app is not working

MasterBob

are you ppl going to be here jan 1 for the "first responder" thing

Saiid

18:02

yeah

alecxe

absolutely

jokerdino

probably

MasterBob

ill be around at the beginning

Stephen Leppik

Okay, the Blue in the Face hat seems to have something to do with the [ask] and [tour] shortcuts. But there's some other requirement; I've only gotten it once.

alecxe

sorry family, there is winter bash going on on SO, cannot come to the table and drink with you, may be later

MasterBob

18:04

lol

@StephenLeppik cant you get hats only once or are you doing it on a different site

actually beginning is 4:00 AM(my time) so I doubt I'm going to be here at the beginning

i need to get some sleep

MasterBob

@arda the theories are that to edit a post without a summary, did you do that?

arda

@MasterBob I did, but I edited a lot of stuff in last 30 mins

MasterBob

@arda without a summary thats the requirement i think

arda

18:09

gaming.stackexchange.com/users/87186/…

MasterBob

@arda maybe you have to edit a lot of posts without summaries

Alexander O'Mara

@RamenChef You get a hat?

RamenChef

@AlexanderO'Mara no, but it probably hasn't updated yet.

Any secret hat theories for me to test?

@Mithrandir If you delete your account you get a hat. Can you test that?

alecxe

guys, the "Running Ragged" hat - it's 150 rep on three non-SO sites total or 150 on each of the 3 sites?

veryRandomMe

idk

MasterBob

18:20

@alecxe i think its separate

Mithrandir

@TheSharpieOne Nah. :P

@alecxe Idk

veryRandomMe

I'd assume 150 on each

@RamenChef did you get the hat?

It didn't work for me

I typed [ask] and [tour] and got nothing

yeah ok

It had 6 upvotes and no hat :/

Ankit Sharma

I'm reopening this because we've found a bug and for some reason we're not getting all the clicks from the share. The devs are looking into it, but it's a deep, dark rabbit hole they are diving into. — bluefeet ♦ 31 mins ago

So I still have hope to get that hat

Anyway tried again

@AnkitSharma clicked

but should we wait for the devs to fix it before retrying amped?

Ankit Sharma

You can keep trying, or just wait till they get it resolved. It's definitely working for some people because the hat has been awarded. — bluefeet ♦ 36 mins ago

About the Taco hat: I got it on Stack Overflow after editing a very old question, and I was the first to edit. On other sites (Meta SE, Chess) I wasn't the first, but I was the first to edit the body.

@Glorfindel did you include an edit summary the first time you tried to submit it?

Glorfindel

18:51

No, I let it generate automatically.

MasterBob

@Glorfindel Yeah, that might have been it.
