@AlexanderO'Mara did u upvote the question

Alexander O'Mara

@bleh No

bleh

and all comments were ^voted

Saiid

mhmm

Alexander O'Mara

18:09

@bleh yes

Andrew Li

Nuked @AlexanderO'Mara

bleh

@AlexanderO'Mara then we nuke it?? this is so cunfusing

nitsua60

@bleh were any edited?

bleh

yes

uh oh

Alexander O'Mara

Yeah, we waited 10+ minutes, then self deleted them all.

nitsua60

18:12

@bleh I don't know if that matters. I just noticed myself doing that in one of my experiments, and realized there was another lurking variable =)

Alexander O'Mara

I strongly suspect all of these steps are not needed.

bleh

^^^

Alexander O'Mara

I just don't know which are.

nitsua60

@AlexanderO'Mara A buddy and I have run four different experiments already, slowly ramping up the amount of "stuff" included. Neither of us have gotten the hat yet, so we hope we're generating some good signal.

bleh

8 comments, all ^voted, 2 edited each doesnt work

Kritixi Lithos

18:16

I think you might have to edit the post too

nitsua60

Interesting. Over here most recent is 5 back-and-forths, upvoted, pings and no pings, edited, deleted, no hat.

Kritixi Lithos

SE devs would be like Just a prank bro!

bleh

8 backandforth

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Ready to nuke the second one?

Kaz Wolfe

I feel like we're overlooking something really simple with Blue In The Face.

bleh

18:21

^^^

Kritixi Lithos

^^ I agree

Kaz Wolfe

It's probably some very simple trigger, as opposed to a back-and-forth discussion with N comments, all with varying degrees of edits and deletions.

Joe

We still don't know what Mild Mannered is triggered by, do we?

bleh

@DacSaunders - The argument about vampires may or may not be correct...but if, as you assert, it is a widespread trope, surely there will be better examples than a site that peddles in anti-Semitic conspiracies? It's not a site about vampires that mentions an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory - it's a site about conspiracies that mentions vampires. — Adamant 23 hours ago

i believe @Adamant earned a blue in the face badge by that

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Still there? We need to do phase 2.

bleh

18:25

wait what is phase 2

Joe

Mild Mannered I wondered if it is a short comment or answer, and maybe Blue in the Face is a long comment or answer?

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara Yeah?

What is Phase 2

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi We have to hack some PSU's to blow up a building and destroy the bank records.

Andrew Li

Nuke on question 2?

@AlexanderO'Mara Cool

bleh

anyone have a clue on the hatter

Andrew Li

18:26

Nuking on Q2

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi But first, delete comments here: stackoverflow.com/questions/34446978/…

bleh

scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/147315/revisions

ah i see

it's probably editing the same post thrice

we've ruled out votes on comments, right?

Q: Duplicate Winterbash hats in profile when earning a tag badge

When you've earned a tag badge, the "Congratulation!" box also carries a Winterbash toque. It's a small glitch, but one none the less.

Alexander O'Mara

18:30

Cool, now we wait for a hat hopefully.

MasterBob

im back

now i can only type with one hand

nitsua60

Okay, just got "Blue" after editing a post on which I had placed a bunch of comments. (But not yet deleted them.) Of course, with lag it could have been any of the other experiments, too....

Also got 6, and have no idea how.

Kaz Wolfe

What about comments followed by voting?

@nitsua60 link?

nitsua60

@KazWolfe no votes

MasterBob

nitsua60

18:33

@KazWolfe To which? One of the comment-thread experiments, to the comment-thread experiment on which I also made a post edit?

Kaz Wolfe

@nitsua60 the comment-thread with experiment. I want to pull the timeline for it

A: What is the difference between a psychic character and one with a high Empathy skill?

Mostly the answer comes down to what your group decides is appropriate for your story: what can psychics do in your story that regular people cannot? (I'm not going to leave it at that though: there is definitely stuff that the game would have to say on the matter.) Usually, empathetic people ca...

(note we never deleted the comments)

MasterBob

in this one let's go five back and forth, upvote mine, but no pings. we can delete quickly, because we know from the fate one that deletion is necessary. (I say upvote mine, because I'm assuming you're going to get it on the fate one.) — nitsua60 30 mins ago

timeline, nothing anomalous.

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi You get the 8,###,### hat?

MasterBob

18:40

nope

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Looks like you got the 8,###,### hat, but I didn't. Interesting. The question owner doesn't get it?

Anyone want to try another 8,###,### test with me?

MasterBob

wait what do we have to do

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob I think some or all of, post some comments, get upvotes, OP edits question, and self-delete comments.

MasterBob

got it

ill sign up

so where do we go

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob I just commented on one of your posts. Reply with an @ comment.

MasterBob

18:47

got it

do i upvote as well

Alexander O'Mara

Yes

MasterBob

im waiting

Alexander O'Mara

Sorry, back.

MasterBob

ok

Alexander O'Mara

Remember to upvote too.

MasterBob

18:54

is that enough

ok actually ill wait a bit to see if it triggers

rekire

I'm just on #10 :( I need a new hat :-D

MasterBob

i want a hat

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob I think we need 8 each, then we need to self-delete.

rekire

I really thought I understood that Mild Mannered hat but I was unable to reproduce it

MasterBob

yeah

Joe

18:57

@rekire What did you think it was?

TheSharpieOne

can I get an UV: stackoverflow.com/questions/41269758/…

MasterBob

done

Kritixi Lithos

and done

rekire

@Joe writing an answer to a question with a score of 0 or less and get accepted without upvotes

MasterBob

@AlexanderO'Mara remember to upvote

TheSharpieOne

18:59

Thanks.... blue in the face is elusive...

just b/c one of the theories says the answer has to be UV'd as well: stackoverflow.com/a/41269951/1873485

MasterBob

@AlexanderO'Mara now, or do you add one more comment?

Alexander O'Mara

I just used up my votes for the day, could someone upvote this for me? stackoverflow.com/questions/41092608/…

TheSharpieOne

"Answer a question, edit the question, upvote the question, OP comments on your answer, you comment on your own answer, answer gets 2 upvotes. - Masked Man"

MasterBob

upvote which, the question (cant do that) or the ansewr

Kritixi Lithos

Done

Alexander O'Mara

19:01

@MasterBob Comment.

@MasterBob Cool, just need an upvote on that last comment.

TheSharpieOne

"answer gets [2] upvotes"

MasterBob

wait it counts for daily votes

NO!!!

TheSharpieOne

i don't think 2 matters, 1 should do it

Alexander O'Mara

Now, we wait a bit.

Joe

@rekire I almost certainly got it from a comment, not an answer...

rekire

19:03

did you get a hat from that test?

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob Now, I think you need to self-edit your question.

rekire

@Joe stackoverflow.com/users/3958124/zhu-zhaohua this user has the hat and just one action

MasterBob

'k

Alexander O'Mara

Cool, now we wait a little bit.

Joe

@rekire Yes, I know; but that's my point, I think it is one post [either answer OR comment].

rekire

19:05

@Joe well that answer was not edited mine was...

Himarm

gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/272835/… 1 upvtoe a way from a gold and a hat here if anyone could halp :P

MasterBob

so do comment votes count for daily votes bc i need to earn electorate :(

got blue in the face

didnt delete

anything

rekire

@MasterBob what did you do? I am so brave for a second test ;)

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob Comment limits are separate.

Joe

@rekire It's also possible it has nothing to do with question votes; the only answer I really could've made that might've triggered it (and it would be a very delayed trigger) would be a 0 score accept on a +1 answer (that I upvoted so definitely was +1 at the time)

MasterBob

19:06

@Alexander yay good

@rekire tested with alexander, just went here and commented

rekire

Here we go with a comment — rekire 9 secs ago

you commented your own question I may should try the same

Alexander O'Mara

@rekire In a few minutes, hopefully I will better understand what you need to do.

X-27

Who here has an account/is willing to make an account on Blender.SE?

Alexander O'Mara

@X-27 sure

X-27

I've gotten 110 rep today - 40 more and I'll have gotten the 150 needed :)

Jelle

19:10

I need a cool hat...

X-27

You can even retract your votes once I get the hat! :)

Alexander O'Mara

I don't think you need to do it all in one day.

Himarm

+3 @X-27

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob Ok, now we self-delete those comments we posted.

X-27

Thanks :)

Himarm

19:12

i could use a few upvotes on movies for the same hat

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara sorry for being intermittent, school periods are weird.

Dunno how

may have been a coincidence

X-27

@AlexanderO'Mara I'm pretty sure one of them requires the rep to be during one day.

Andrew Li

Just got 3 hats

X-27

oh - right. I'm confused with the rep cap 3 times hat.

Alexander O'Mara

@X-27 "earn 150 reputation points on three different sites (not including Stack Overflow) within 15 days." I assume means within 15 days, earn 150 points on 3 different sites (does not need to all be on one day).

Andrew Li

19:13

Only 1 new one though

MasterBob

@AlexanderO'Mara eh, already got the hat, but ok

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob Which hat?

X-27

which would require it all on one (actually, three) days...

which will be harder...

Himarm

movies.stackexchange.com/questions/65302/… could use a few passerbys on this to help with a hat :P

Andrew Li

@Himarm don't ask for upvotes :P

Himarm

19:15

fixed

MasterBob

@AlexanderO'Mara blue in the face

rekire

@MasterBob edited^^

jokerdino

My friend says 6 might be from reviewing all 6 review queues in a day?

TheSharpieOne

@jokerdino interesting

MasterBob

@rekire are you supposed to edit or am i supposed to edit? in other words, did you get the hat?

TheSharpieOne

19:20

@jokerdino There are more than 6 queues...

jokerdino

What? I only have 6.

YowE3K

I got the 6 hat very close to getting my Excavator badge

rekire

@MasterBob YES I DID

making some cleanup now

jokerdino

@TheSharpieOne 7th one is meta review queue o.O

Himarm

you guys figured out the blue in the face?

TheSharpieOne

19:22

@jokerdino I count 9 plus meta review

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

holy

hell

that's a lot of reviews

jokerdino

Yeah, ours is not that complex.

Frakcool

I got 6 hat after OP accepted an answer 23 hours ago, and my rep wen from 3645 to 3660 probably you get it once your rep includes a 6 in it?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

wait wat i got another taco

it has to be for editing questions

TheSharpieOne

@jokerdino I would imagine that what I see is what most people see and that would more likely be the requirements for the hat.

@Frakcool interesting

jokerdino

19:24

yeah, fair point.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@TheSharpieOne PPCG's queues are always empty

@Frakcool hm maybe but that's 2 sixes :P

rekire

@TheSharpieOne I see my avatar 3 times :D

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

testing

TheSharpieOne

SO's queue are never fully empty. As you can see.. .close votes are in the 8k range. Some of the queues are mostly always empty

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

my rep now has a six, no hat yet

Alexander O'Mara

19:27

@MasterBob Cool, I just got 8,243,721, did you?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@TheSharpieOne for PPCG, close and LWQ are mostly the only full ones, mostly at 0-3 each

MasterBob

@AlexanderO'Mara uh... no

Frakcool

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ But I had 3645 before the event started, also it was my 6th hat

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

hm

my rep just hit a six

we'll see

and I think there would be a lot more occurences if that's the case

X-27

yah

Frakcool

19:28

Let's wait until the script runs

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

BTW, taco is not for no edit summary

X-27

It can't be as simple as "have your rep contain a 6"

TheSharpieOne

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ which site? codegolf?

YowE3K

Can someone try editing an answer that is more than 6 months old, and see if they get the 6 hat

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I just got in on SFF and all of my edits had summaries

@TheSharpieOne yeah

X-27

19:28

maybe it is multiple 6s, but it can't be as simple as just one.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@YowE3K 1 sec can try

Frakcool

maybe two 6's in your rep?

TheSharpieOne

@X-27 It's not that simple... everything goes up by 5s (5, 10, 15). You have to go down in order to get there..

X-27

editing (if you have low rep) and accepting answer gives you 2.

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob Ok, getting 8,###,### appears to involve commenting on someone else's question, getting upvoted, the asker self-edits, then commenter self-deletes.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

19:30

@YowE3K edited a 7 month answer, we'll see

YowE3K

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ thanks

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@X-27 I just accepted something, my rep now has a 6

Alexander O'Mara

Some or all of that anyway, pretty sure editing is required, and the asker does not get the hat.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

no hat yet

MasterBob

@AlexanderO'Mara i accidentally blocked popups for the "do you want to delete this comment" thing and now i cant delete anymore lol

TheSharpieOne

19:31

@MasterBob lol

Alexander O'Mara

@MasterBob Hmm, there's probably a way to reset that.

MasterBob

@AlexanderO'Mara its not like ive found one

Alexander O'Mara

I wish I could figure out mad hatter.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

^

TheSharpieOne

@MasterBob have you tried reformatting your hard drive?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

19:33

@AlexanderO'Mara is mild mannered for 0 score accept?

MasterBob

@TheSharpieOne NO!!

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AlexanderO'Mara me and kritixi, had comment discussion like you and mith on puzzling did, he eidted and I nuked my comments. no hat?

Alexander O'Mara

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Maybe?

TheSharpieOne

@MasterBob If only there was some kind of site in which you could ask questions and get answers to problems such as this...

MasterBob

@TheSharpieOne yeah, i only wish

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

TheSharpieOne

@AlexanderO'Mara Randomly given out... to drive us all mad

Saiid

Alexander O'Mara

@TheSharpieOne Was starting to think that myself.

Kritixi Lithos

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I think we have to delete our comments for hat-testing

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AlexanderO'Mara so far everybody who has gotten it hasn't done anything at the time. 2 were sleeping, 1 was not online
