Hi, guys!

Should I only post links of mine, or can I post links of others, such as who answered in my question?

By the way, this is for the Amped Up hat.

I believe it's anyone, but I'm not sure.

Or rather, as long as it's your share LINK, but it doesn't have to be to your question or answer.

@user65768 Okay, thanks!

Sharing a link now!

Just wait! ...

preemptive, for getting the first responder hat (starting in about 9 hours)

You can help me get the " Amped Up " hat, by clicking on this link

I'm four votes away from the lounging around hat. Anything I can do to improve my question?

@alecxe let me be the first to congratulate you on getting all the hats.

@David wait, he has all the hats?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ all but the upcoming timelocked hats.

ohhh

cool!

i'm still lagging behind :(

one of which because i have no idea of a good question for AskUbuntu.

eh, you're tied with me?

I'm pretty much out

no chance of mild mannered prolly, and less of rep-capping and maverick

any good question i have has already been asked, so it gets duped.

@David thanks, I really-really hope there are more secret hats (and that list of hats on youtube was intentionally shown to trick all of us).

@David you'll be getting all of them too?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ not yet, but all that is left are the easy "show up at the right day" hats

@alecxe I sure hope so. I want to share first with you. BUT theylive is my problem.

with all I now know about it, it seams rather unlikely that I will get it.

i just need help with maverick and lounging around :/

yeah, Maverick is probably the most challenging

@KazWolfe getting a "good question" was always hard for me. but for some odd reason not this year, I have 4 of them already this WB.

@David I think I've got They Live on the 3rd day of WB and reviewing, just used multiple things - multiple reject reasons, accepts, edits..

Is there a confirmed way to get 6?

@David i just suck at writing questions.

@alecxe I have a good theory of how you get it. but on BSE we do not have enough reviews for me to get it, and that is the only site I have enough rep to review.

4 votes away, but meh.

@iYoung dont know if it is published, but I'm pretty sure I figured it out.

It is not there on Winter Bash Question

@iYoung try posting (about) 6 comments, that the OP comes and edits the post after you posted the comment.

This happened yesterday

But didn't received hat. Any time frame for this?

problem with maverick on askubuntu is anything that hits -3 is irrecoverably bad.

and will get closed.

@iYoung 6 comments on 6 different posts

one per post

Ohhh 6 different questions? And any other requirement like upvote or any other?

not needed to get the comment UVed

just that the OP edits the post after the comment

Okh thanks let me try

@KazWolfe not sure if it would be helpful, but in my case, I've noticed a potentially good quality question where the OP really tried to solve the problem in many different ways, but you could see the OP got really frustrated and had some not really appropriate language. I've edited the question, cleaned it up and posted a detailed answer.

let me know if it works.

I got the hat, and another user got it from doing the same thing

well, you can always get 3 of your friends together

all downvote the question

answer really quick

okh let me see if OP comes back to edit :)

and reverse your downvotes

:P

@alecxe yeah, we don't get those on AU

@iYoung just find some posts from active users (in my case it was bad links)

@Himarm "friends"? what are those?

@KazWolfe not sure but I think he is talking about the avatars next to your in this chat.

i thought the CMs didn't want hat shenanigans?

nobody does

it is just not good

/afk

yep, 95% sure Maverick is impossible to get on AskUbuntu.

Is anyone online?

no.

awesome

I just hit 100 subs on my YouTube channel!

pretend to be happy

congratulations. There's no hat for that, sadly.

lol

no, but I knew someone would be online now

I need to pick a custom channel URL.

it won't let me just use X-27 or X27

The custom URL has to start with X27, and I'm torn between X27channel, X27gaming, or something else that I can't think of.

for context, this channel

and ideas? suggestions?

@KazWolfe are you still there?

yes.

i'm not good at names.

or being creative.

awww :(

then just pick a catchy word that can go after X27

doesn't even have to be vaguely relevant.

0x27?

huh... youtube.com/c/X270x27 ... I don't think that would work... :(

no, youtube.com/c/0x27

for whatever reason, the URL has to start with the channel name, so it has to be youtube.com/c/X27______ <anything catchy there

hence videos, channel, gaming, etc

but what should I pick? so stressful!

wait a minute - this is the perfect excuse for a short, lame video! asking everyone what they think it should be!

there you go.

plus you get ad revenue

I haven't enabled ads yet

no reason to annoy the few viewers I have before the channel can grow

(plus, with the total views I have so far, I probably only would have made around 5 USD by now)

or less

that would be the high estimate... but once the views start picking up, and I can afford to annoy some of the viewers who really don't like ads.... :)

but it actually feels like a HUGE achievement, getting 100 subs right before the end of the year.

I'm just posting this to get the secret hat as I assume many have already did

@AlexJolig not for another few hours.

Ah, finally got Clockwork, but on MetaSE somehow.

@AlexanderO'Mara checking your activity now

Any idea what can be the trigger ?

@MayurH I really have no idea, no activity there since earlier... Except for flagging a question off-topic recently.

Flagged it 21 minutes ago, marked helpful 16 minutes ago, sometime in the last 21 minutes the hat was awarded.

That was 11 hours ago

@MayurH Yeah, must have been the flag.

Got 6 :)

i can already tell. maverick is going to drive me insane.

not bad, only took an hour to make that!

oh...

nvm...

ok, so it took a little longer than normal, and yet, taking longer than normal is normal!

Hi, guys!

Hiya'

Oh, hi @X-27!

Yikes!!!

I had the volume on these headphones maxed

that was startling!!!

lol

Yeah, lol!! ...

but. hi :)

Hi, too!

:)

By the way, what's in that YouTube Video?

Me thanking my viewers for 100 subscribers, and asking for input on the custom channel URL.

@X-27 Oh, okay!

(I only posted it here because I had asked the first person who I saw online what I should use for the URL)

Who's that "first person"?

that was right after I saw I had 100 subs, and was in super-happy-ask-anyone-you-can-mode :)

* Currently watching your video now ...

:)

this one took a long time to make. I think that one is my best so far - if you want to watch one, watch that one.

"100 Subscribers Reached" It's now 101 ...

:)

O   O
-___-

hopefully they will keep coming!

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well, as of now, it has 9 views.

By the way, what " Editing Software " did you use to edit your video?

but don't tell anyone that! I would be betraying the open-source spirit of Blender! :)

Kk ...

I commented on your video ... :)

Yep, I see :) Actually, this one has two users from the Renderfarm. (Blender.Se's chatroom)

ok, I should be getting off now.

bbt (be back tomorrow)

or later today, depending on how you look at it...

Hi, again!

Got They Live for this stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14748682

@BhargavRao Can you let us know how can we get it?

No idea :D

I think 2 "Improve Edit" and 2 "Reject and Edit" on old posts (before Dec 19th), Trigger the hat.

Happy (early) new year!

Well, in Kiritimati, Nukualofa, Apia and Neiafu that's indeed the case. So happy new year!

The hat says ±12 hours from 0:00 UTC. So you are one and a half hours too early.

Also, you may not get the hat for starred messages in rooms not associated with any site.

But does it prevents us to wish everyone an happy new year?

Happy New year and all good for 2017, and I am happy to repeat this line a few times today.

happy new year people! it is the time, stars for everyone =D

Still 20 minutes left

nope, it is 12.41 where I live

less than 12h to 00.00

Its with respect to UTC

+/- 12h to UTC

btw did you get the hat? the amped up one?

oh i see, ty

Yeah I posted here yesterday

@iYoung nice. I got several people to click on my shared link, but I didnt get it :-(

I also faced this

Try with a fresh link

I didn't received Trendsetter yet despite changing my hat daily since last 5 days

Invert the hat once

Okh

Done

6 more minutes to go :)

For First Responder

Getting nervous..... only 3 more minutes.

My computer might be off a bit.

Your computer is too excited

oh boy here we go ^.^

My computer has a line ready for 'you are here' the travel chat.

Happy New Year :)

Happy New Year

Happy 2017 to all.

enjoy your hats people :D

Now lets wait for First Responder

Happy New Year!

Lol ;)

I am a bit star happy now.

, @DavidPostill

@BDM Happy New Year! :D

Happy 2017 to everyone east of Suva

Wow, What's with the star fest?

is that just you Panda?

@BhargavRao hmmm - let me think

And to you @RoryAlsop :)

It won't work here

@RoryAlsop Nope, I only starred 3 messages ;)

We tried it last year and it did not work

it was worth a try

@BhargavRao lol

But it is less than an hour to Sydney's New Year - will have to watch the fireworks. Then 11 hours till ours in Edinburgh :-)

Well, I sincerely meant my happy new year to you...

Does anyone know if answers to self-answered posts counts towards Fiery

Happy new year again everyone :)

@Panda, I read somewhere they are excluded. (Likely I read that on this chat.)

@Willeke Oh, thanks

Got to go.

For the "They Live" patterns, are "skips" ignored? I often skip edits if I'm unsure about the suggested change.

@craig_h Yea, 'skips' most likely doesn't count

Thanks, "They Live"seems more random than "Don’t Wanna Taco ‘Bout It", I'm still not sure what triggered me getting that hat, I just edited a bunch of posts.

@craig_h There are a few working patterns in the Docs, docs.google.com/document/d/…

I just got They live after five "improve edit"s in a row

@panda thanks I'll try the first one and see if that triggers anything.

@AccidentalFourierTransform So maybe the "improve edits" is one of the triggers, apparently there a two for "They Live"

@craig_h You're welcome!

Happy new years eve and new years all o/

@AndrewLi Happy New Year to you too!

Did anyone got first responder yet?

@iYoung Yes. Happy new year!

But I didn't till now :(

I dont know why

@iYoung Perhaps now you'll get it

Hope so

There are many other hats which I haven't received yet despite doing tasks

One is like TrendSetter

@iYoung I just changed hats several days in a row until I got that one.

I am doing so from past 5 days

@iYoung Do you wear the hats in a specific site or all sites?

I wear hats on all site

but I believe I change on specific site

@iyoung Apparently the changes have to be in different UTC times, so it's best to change hats around the same time each day.

@iYoung I'm down to the last 4 hats (except of the 2 remaining time specific ones), which I have a small chance of getting.

@iYoung Try to wear the hat only on the site in which you want to get the hat

That I am doing I want it on SO

& there I changed everyday in different UTC time

@iYoung But you wrote you wear them on all sites.

I wear on all site but changes are specific to SO

@iYoung When you make the changes, try to wear the new hat only on SO.

Okh

@AccidentalFourierTransform holy fuck that's a starfest

I just got "They Live" thanks to the help here! Here's the exact combination I used to get it: Accept, Accept,Reject, Accept, Improve Edit, Accept, Accept,Improve Edit, Accept, Accept, Reject and Edit, Improve Edit, Accept, Reject and Edit, Reject. I also had a few skips in there towards the end and one in the middle.

I think the 2 appear to be improve and approve

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yep, but it didn't work

nobody got any hat

yeah, you were all too early >_>

no, its this chat in particular

it doesnt work here

oh TIL

maybe you can't get tthis on meta.se

Seems like. Trying to get it on Arqade right now in The Bridge.

I got it on PPCG just now

@KazWolfe found your sock account

@Isuka hey, you were the person who commented on my self-answer linking to reddit

didn't recognize you with a hat

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Ah ah yeah, sorry about that again. I was totally not sure you were the one who typed the original message. My apologies again :p

yeah, it's okay :)

Happy New Year-ish!

what timezones are y'all in?

it's 5:25 AM for me

I'm on the east coast. It's 8:26, but I'm testing a theory on if the chat hat is +/-12 UTC or anywhere in the world. It's 22:30 in Japan, I think.

But, it's 13-something UTC. So, nevermind.

Don't listen to me.

2:28 PM there.

@MaryBeth it's +/- 12, it says on the hat

Right, but I had a hat the other day that specifically said UTC, but it was actually anywhere in the world.

which one?

So when did it start exactly? 1h30 ago or 30 minutes ago ?

I earned it well before midnight UTC that day. The bacon one, I believe it was for the 26th. Either way, I have yet to see a hat for posting in a chat.

oh, yeah that's for anywhere

but this hat specifically says "+/- 12 hours" in the description of the hat

it's different from the rest

Thanks! :)

Is sockpuppet starring allowed in Sandbox room?

I swear I saw the other have UTC in the description somewhere, but apparently not.

@LearnHowToBeTransparent Only if you don't get caught :)

@DavidPostill i sockpuppet starred, get the hat, then sockpuppet unstar.

Naughty, naughty :)

@LearnHowToBeTransparent And you believed some random person? ...

@DavidPostill you are random too :)

anyway, Happy New Year.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ no

@AccidentalFourierTransform it wont works here because this room is not from any site.

@DavidPostill actually want to test a theory I have?

@BhargavRao dont think so. I think it was this one stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14748818

@David That was an audit

:/

@BhargavRao exactly :(

Then it's tough to repro.

Damn

my problem exactly.

do you have any idea on what triggers them?

@David Why not? Fire away ...

ok cool. I'm going to switch the room to some site, wait about 10 min, see if you all get the hat.

@David MSE pls

:D

@BhargavRao fine with me

here we go.

(PS could I have a star too?)

room parent site changed to meta.stackexchange.com

seeing as how the bug worked one the first day (giving the 2017 hat to anybody who had gotten the hat last year), I thought maybe you can get the hat on multiple sites from the same chat message.

lol. mods and room owners can give the hat to them selves.

Yup, That's what I did :D

:)

I just tried over on our chat

because I knew none associated rooms do not work

@BhargavRao good going...

Err, Why?

you had me move it to the one place, where normal mod loose control. so in essence we are stuck on meta. (and can no longer test this chat hat idea)

oops

lol, I should of thought of that

Ooooh, Damn

I never knew that this would be the case

I completely forgot.

Or in words of Shog, "Awww, Shit"

@BhargavRao lol

but now the "host" field is gone, and we are stuck. hope you all like the new theme.

kind of funny

Can CMs change it?

probably, not much they can't do

@David At least we got the hats :)

did you? mine did not show up yet

for the meta I mean

I just got mine

It'll arrive in a few secs

ok, so that does work.

and its here

here lies the problem. notice the chat. meta .stackexchange.com all* the rest of the sites just use chat.stackexchange.com

Yep, There are 3 main chat domains in SE.

I only remembered SO and SE

I'm tied with @alecxe, thought I should save the moment.

@BhargavRao know any friendly cms that would not mind coming in and changing the room host?

bluefeet?

I dont know. I wouldn't bother her with something like this.

Same here :D

they probably are all off on new years brake now anyway.

So I wish everyone a nice transition into 2017 :) a hopefully better year!

Just realized that I've amassed 29 hats without even posting a single answer on Stack Overflow, which is my parent site.

@David Hey, do you want to star this message? :)

@alecxe done :D

@alecxe even though it would put you ahead of me, I would of done it.

so what the 2017 hat does is show who are really the hat fanatics. (all the normal users will get it tonight)

@David lol

although we have already had 3 time zones that have had the new year.

really not everything needs to get stared.

Did anybody test whether self-starring works here (to get the hat)?

Does it say anywhere when the hat award scripts are run (at what interval). I'm curios because I now have a +1 answer on three different sites (EE, RasPi, PPCG) but no Polymath hat.

North Korea is getting the new year in 7 mins

@Loong it does

ok

@TomCarpenter nope and about every 10 mins

Oh, ploymath and running red take even longer

@David fair enough, just curios and impatient ;)

I was too.

I know the feeling :)

@BhargavRao look what we've done. (now that this room will works for the star hat...)

Yeah :(

I'll clear those, Don't worry

dont forget UTC day is only about half over, you'll run out of stars.

I have the boom script installed :D

@BhargavRao how? your not a mod here, are you?

The chat is still on the SE network. Lemme try

@BhargavRao but you are a mod on the SO network, whole different planet.

@David there, Unstarred it

@BhargavRao but that was your own star, right?

Nope.

unstar that ^^

staaaaaaaaaaaaars

I did not know SO mods had power here

Mwahaha, Become a SO mod, There's powerz everywhere :D

so why does it not work the other way?

I'm just a helpless little avatar, on SO.

@10Replies funny, I have both chat rooms open, and I thought you had posted that in here.

lol

I have both open as well.

actually I miscounted. now counting North Korea there have been 9 timezones that already had the new year. (this is why the description for the hatter is wrong)

?

@David, If you get the "They Live", You'll be the first back-to-back winner of winterbash

happy new year folks! :)

I just noticed TheyLive doesn't have a space between they and live on the winter bash site... Wonder if that is intentional or not.
