Q: Add ability to see who has a certain hat

Can an search bar/link/button/whatever be added, to search who has a hat? i.e. something like this: Or maybe in the description on the winterbash main page: Or both! These links would take you to a page similar to the site leaderboards, but show everybody who has that hat. Possibly sorted ...

Hi, guys!

Panda

Hi

Lloyd Dominic

Oh, hi @Panda!

alecxe

Hi!

Lloyd Dominic

Hi, @alecxe!

alecxe

03:11

For Maverick, do you think the question should also be posted during WB period?

got the "Like clockwork" :)

is there anyone else with this new secret hat?

Jamal

Me too, just now!

alecxe

@Jamal awesome! What were you doing?

Jamal

I can't figure out how to turn the SVG into an image, though. Maybe someone else ought to do it.

I was upvoting a bunch of posts from this query. Perhaps it has to do with voting for answers from different years.

Eric Wofsey

03:26

I just got Like Clockwork too.

Given that this hat seems to have just become available, I would guess it involves doing something for some number of days in a row or something like that.

alecxe

well, it's being a week of WB..

Eric Wofsey

It's a rare hat though--it seems you don't just get it for being casually active every day for a week.

David

Eric Wofsey

I'm looking at winterbash2016.stackexchange.com/leaderboard/… and seeing that I'm the only one with it on the leaderboard so far, even though most of the people there have probably been active every day.

David

Anyone know what the community bot does on SO and SOru, that it does not do on other sites?

Kaz Wolfe

03:35

so all 41 hats have been found?

David

Manuel Azar has the "Like Clockwork" hat on nine sites

alecxe

Could it be something simple as being active or just visit a site for 7 consecutive days?

like clockwork - doing the same thing over and over again..

Kaz Wolfe

9 day streak. no hat.

Seth

03:58

@David Two of those sites, CS and Programmers, he hasn't performed any public actions on.

Alexander O'Mara

I haven't gotten it...

And I'm on 892 consecutive days.

Eric Wofsey

For what it's worth, I believe the last thing I did before getting it was upvote a comment.

David

@Seth Has the user cast any votes on those two sites?

Seth

@David Hah! 4 this week, 1 each day on all 4 sites I checked.

David

@Seth I just got it too.

nearly 100% sure it is vote every day for a week

Seth

04:00

@David do those vote counters reset on Sunday or do they go back 7 days like most?

David

well that is the fastest time ever between first report of a new hat and the discovery of the trigger.

Seth

He's only voted 4 times this past week, and that's the same across 4 sites.

I think it's just 4 days.

David

@Seth hmm good point.

Alexander O'Mara

Wouldn't someone have gotten it by now then?

Seth

4 day streak for me will be tomorrow UTC

@AlexanderO'Mara good point..

David

04:02

4 days sounds probable, but it is definitely votes. because when it looked like it was votes, all I did was cast one UV and I got it.

alecxe

yeah, looks very much like votes

David

@AlexanderO'Mara I think SE has some hats come out at different time this year, just to keep things interesting.

Alexander O'Mara

Blast, guess I'll have to wait to get it.

Seth

what is the trigger for elementary?

@David ooh, that's smart!

@David Go to your votes tab on blender, you can see a history of your upvotes.

David

@Seth dont need to (I'm active) but I checked and I voted every day.

Seth

04:05

@David ok

David

@Seth edit 5 old posts

Seth

Ah. I should keep a list of triggers from past years. They reuse a lot.

(not that that's a bad thing)

Have we figured out the taco hat?

David

@Seth Why do you think I put ALL the hats in the meta post this year!

Seth

@David I don't look at that meta post.

David

Oh

Seth

04:08

I decided I don't like the spoilers. I don't mind clues and discussion, but I don't want them all spoiled at once.

David

do you know anything about they live?

@Seth you dont need to hover.

Seth

@David oh good. you used spoilers. last year people didn't at first. Lets just say I haven't even checked that page yet ;)

@David hm, nope.

Panda

I've been voting for around 7 days consecutive, but didn't seem to get the hat

David

@Panda and you voted today?

(after UTC day change?)

Panda

@David Just voted on 2 sites

Yea, according to activity tab, so should be UTC

Alexander O'Mara

04:12

@Panda Voted 7 days all on one site?

Panda

Yea

SO

David

but consecutive on one site

Eric Wofsey

It seems like the hat is way too rare for it to be just voted 7 consecutive days, but maybe most people vote a lot less than I do (even very active people)...

Panda

7 days consecutive on SO & 7/8 days consecutive on Meta SE

David

@EricWofsey true. but I know is is triggered by votes.

Eric Wofsey

04:15

Maybe it's something like "voted within the same hour on 7 consecutive days".

David

@EricWofsey I thought of that, will check my vote time stamps now.

Alexander O'Mara

Or voted at same time 1 week later?

Panda

I just earned it

on Meta SE

Alexander O'Mara

Hang on, looks like I've voted on SO every day of Winter Bash.

Assuming down votes on now deleted questions count.

Panda

@AlexanderO'Mara I didn't get it on SO though

I've voted everyday too

Does it have to do with majority upvotes?

David

04:25

@AlexanderO'Mara I only counted my UVs, but seeing has how community bot has it, I expect DVs count too.

Kaz Wolfe

close/delete votes do not count (as far as i can tell).

David

@AlexanderO'Mara dont think it is that, I have voted a few days in the same hour, but not all and at no point more then 2 days in a row (yesterday was one that I did not)

Alexander O'Mara

Looks like the last day I didn't vote was the 16th.

Kaz Wolfe

21st.

Alexander O'Mara

Maybe it's still coming?

Kaz Wolfe

04:30

22/23/24/25/26, so will confirm soon :D

David

04:43

@bluefeet hope you had a good Christmas.

PS is the next hint coming soon? :)

"They Live"

goldPseudo

05:03

Clockwork is definitely not based on majority upvotes. i just got it, and i've only upvoted posts twice since winterbash started. compared to 26 downvotes.

Bhavin Ramani

I have just received 8,243,721 hat.

I made a comment(to correct the broken github link) on answer and got reply from user who had posted answer and he edited his answer and I deleted my comment.

goldPseudo

maybe multiple votes for consecutive days? i'm at 4/7/4/9 for 23-24-25-26.

nothing on 22 unless you count a delete vote.

actually..no. 4/7/4/8/1 for 23-24-25-26-27 by SE clock.

Panda

I think it requires majority upvotes for 4 days?

Alexander O'Mara

That would seem like a strange requirement.

Panda

05:18

I only got it on Meta SE

Though I've voted for 8 days consecutive on SO & 4 days consecutive on Ask Different

goldPseudo

no. i only earned it on Islam.SE, and i've only upvoted two posts in the last week.

one on 25 and one on 26.

Alexander O'Mara

Upvoted comments?

goldPseudo

i haven't had a majority upvote ratio at any day this winterbash.

can't remember how many comment upvotes i made today.

the last action i did before getting the hat was an answer downvote.

maybe vote on at least one question and at least one answer for consecutive days?

i've got at least one of each for 23-24-25-26.

Panda

I can't seem to find any pattern in votes

I have 4-day consecutive votes on 3 sites but only seem to get the hat on 1 site

Alexander O'Mara

Yeah, I have 10+ days consecutive votes on SO.

Maybe time of day plays a factor somehow.

I guess I messed that hat. I didn't vote yesterday :/

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

09:29

The new, Clockwork hat: it is NOT for posting in X+ consecutive days.

I see a user got it at DBA.SE while he has posted today and 5 days ago.

My theory is that it's for parrticipating in 7 consecutive days

Videonauth

@TypoCubeᵀᴹ define participating, if you mean being online voting, doing reviews and answering then youre wrong i should have it by then (visited 250 days, 43 consecutive)

Vikrant

@TypoCubeᵀᴹ It must be posting question/ asnwer for consecutive days.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@Videonauth I mean vote / post

Videonauth

well all this is did, commenting/voting/posting answers/reviews

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@Videonauth every single day? All 7 or 8 ?

Including today?

Videonauth

09:35

yep not answering every day tho, i prefer to only answer if im sure about something

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@Videonauth yes, as I said above, I see auser who got the hat while he posted at 19, 20, 21, 22 and today

Videonauth

ok screw what i said i just got clockwork

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@Videonauth I revise my theory to 8 days

I got the hat a few minutes after posting an answer (and also upvoting a comment and voting on another post).

Q: How to get hat larger in winter bash?

In previous years it was possible to resize the hat easily. Now I don't know how to do it. The default size of the hat is too small, how do I make it bigger?

support winterbash winterbash-2016

Vikrant

@Videonauth lol :D

Videonauth

09:38

i did not answer today, nor did i do i consecutive the past 7 days but i did reviews and comments every day

Vikrant

I also have commented and reviewed on each day.. since last 15 days! no hat here!

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋ including today?

v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋

Nope, last reviewed : 15H ago

And..... I just got the HAT (>‿◠)✌

so, it's clear... "today: I haven't reviewed anything", didn't post anything in complete WinterBash, but commented on posts, voted and raised flag.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

Wait, it's 9 days, not 7, not 8.

19 - 27

v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋

hmm maybe..

goldPseudo

10:47

hrm. just noticed: i've raised at least one flag every day since the 19th.

a flag and a downvote was the last thing i did before getting Clockwork.

Videonauth

this i can second, up/down votes and comments every day

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

Since bluefeet has stated that flags do not count in any hat, I guess the vote is what triggered the hat. Have you voted every day since the Hat Season started?

goldPseudo

except for the 22d.

unless my votes history doesn't show votes on deleted posts.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@goldPseudo You did nothing at 22nd? No votes, no comments, no posts?

goldPseudo

delete vote.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

10:53

No edits, no reviews?

goldPseudo

no comments, no edits.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@goldPseudo That was your single action on 22? A vote to delete another post?

goldPseudo

no reviews.

well, i'm a mod. so it was a pretty big vote.

but yeah, that's the only thing showing up in my history. one delete.

and a flag.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

So you handled a flag, not raised it.

That might count, too

goldPseudo

i raised the flag.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

10:56

But you are a mod. Are you talking about a different site? I thought mods cannot raise flags

goldPseudo

sure we can. it's just mostly redundant since we just get our own attention right away.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

Ah, OK.

goldPseudo

still goes on record as "this is why this post was acted on" or whatever tho.

i like me some paper trails.

but if flags are officially out of consideration for hats, that's probably moot.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

I see it might be helpful, if a mod doesn't want to handle some post himself but raise attention.

The vote to close then might have been. I can't see any other option.
Unless of course the hat is not related to 9 consecutive days but has some other trigger.

Say: any action December 27 (Unlikely, considering the name of the hat)

Question about the Ragged hat:
Do we have to get 150 in each of 3 sites?
Or 150 in total from 3 sites?

Willeke

I have been wearing hats just on one site and did not get the trendsetter for that.

@TypoCubeᵀᴹ 150 each

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

oh

Willeke

Yes, annoying, many of us here have no problem getting 150 or even 450 on one site but getting 150 on more than one is a lot harder.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

You only need a weird question at Workplace, that hits the HNQ ;)

"My boss/employee did this <weird thing>. What to do?"

Willeke

13:06

If you find one of those, please tell me. I am a user there but including the starting bonus I do not have 170 there.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@Willeke I was kidding of course. But I remember some funny posts like "my fellow employees have intimate contact in the staircase" and similar ...

Willeke

You may have been joking but I have seen questions like that make the hotlist and most early answers get 150 or more out of it.

And I am answering one there right now, work space.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@Willeke Yeah. Another one "my employee slept with my wife" ...

Willeke

"my boss has me working 52 weeks a year" ? I started the answer that slavery is illegal.

@David Sigh, I was without internet on Thursday. So I need to wait for another week

@SouravGhosh Once it's approved, you get 1 rep and the hat
