Anyway, I think the Chuck Yaeger might have something to do with FGITW + 3 fast upvotes or something like this
 
@LoganM come to the room
 
@JNat I think it's anyone who gets 3+ upvotes in < 30 minutes (or maybe < 1 hour).
It's definitely not only the fastest answerer.
 
@Eric Or maybe accepted, not upvoted
 
@JNat I don't think so. This answer did not receive the hat.
 
I think this answer is what got him the hat
@Eric How fast was it accepted?
The one I linked above has no recent answer with more than 2 votes, I think
 
8:06 PM
@JNat Asked at 6:28pm and accepted at 7:28pm.
 
@Eric 1 hour. Too long, I think
 
Can't determine seconds as it's "46 minutes ago".
Okay, I have something that might help.
This guy only has one hat (Chuck), and 3 answers today.
 
@Eric 2 have no votes, and one has 2 votes and is accepted
I'd say it has something to do with being accepted
 
@JNat This one did not, though: stackoverflow.com/a/20689129/1438733
Longer accept time, approx 45 minutes. But it can't only be related to being accepted.
As I said, Memor-X got it with a non-accepted answer that was not FGITW.
Unless it's something like: "Posted an answer and received an upvote before the answer was accepted in under 30 minutes" or something weird.
 
@Eric You're sure that one got him the hat?
 
8:10 PM
@JNat It's his only answer since Winter Bash.
He got it right when I got mine (which was the same question).
 
@Eric True
 
Is the Chuck Yeager hat something to do with FGITW?
 
So it must have something to do with how fast you get upvoted, not how fast you answer
 
@Mysticial That's what we're trying to determine.
@JNat Indeed.
 
Damn. Because I hardly post anymore.

A: Is SO Saying that Chuck Yeager was a Secret Soviet?

Tiny TimI will say, figuring out why you earned this hat might present you with a very bright opportunity. Or you could wait, all will be revealed in the end ....

"very bright" ^^
 
Enlightened badge.
 
@Mysticial That was my first guess, but no
 
Can't be.
I got one yesterday.
 
And I've seen people who got it with no answers that are 10+.
 
Many of the people who are winning this hat are no way near 10 votes
2 or 3 votes for the most part
At least here
So, it has got to be related to how fast you get the votes
Doesn't seem like it can be anything else
To me, at least
 
8:17 PM
Hmm.
@JNat Look at the comments on that post.
Specifically the "Eureka" part.
I think the hint there is for earning the Eureka hat, unrelated to the Chuck hat.
You got the Chuck Yeager hat because you ■■■■■■■■ ■ ■■■■■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■ ■■■■■■■ INFORMATION REDACTED CLASSIFICATION: TOP SECRETFlyk Dec 16 at 15:45
"Answered a question in less than XX minutes" fits there.
That said, he's not a CM, so he may be guessing.
 
@TheFestivusUnicorn I would've posted this as a comment instead, but I wanted to see if I could get a hat. This is my first post (on any site) since Winter Bash started. :D — Mysticial 1 min ago
And I got the Chuck Yeager hat.
 
@Mysticial Answered in < 30 mins, got some amount of upvotes.
But, this confirms it does not require being accepted.
Either way, it's not a FGITW hat, so I'm guessing there is a FGITW hat as well. With some constraint on it.
@Mysticial Let me know if you get any other hats from that. Like when it's accepted.
 
8:53 PM
@Mysticial My interpretation of this hat is that it's individually given by the devs, possibly for knowing that it's individually given by the devs.

Q: Where is Orochimaru?

AneeshmgWhy isn't orochimaru releasing the edo tensei seal of hashirama? Will that not be helpfull as madara will no longer be able to use his senjutsu chakra?

Q: Does goku become the dragon itself at the end of dragon ball gt?

AneeshmgAt the end of the last episode in dragon ball gt, before we see junior goku fighting junior vegeta at the martial arts tournament, we see goku going for a ride with the dragon bidding farewell to all of his friends and after he does so, the dragon balls merge with his body. Does this mean he beco...

 
9:12 PM
Yūko has got her priorities completely messed up, she is totally fine walking around the school completely naked but when people see her clothed skeleton she gets all embarrassed and ashamed just a normal person would if they was caught naked
@ton.yeung Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
@ton.yeung 3rd episode after Teiichi vision of her gets twisted it's showen (even in Kirie version) that she is no longer wearing a towel, that means she was chasing them all over the place completely naked yet only started getting embarrassed when Teiichi wanted to see her dead body more closely......at least it still has clothes on
 
Anyone mind if I make a slightly silly hat-related post on Anime meta? Should hopefully get me a Eureka hat.
Okay making it
 
9:35 PM
@LoganM I thought it was MSO only
 
@Krazer robjon has it on Math.
Maybe you are right though.

Q: How do I get the SECRET HAT "With Great Power"?

Logan MI saw this fantastic looking SECRET HAT: "With Great Power..." on some user profiles. How can I obtain one myself?

 
BTW @Krazer could you ping that post to Shog (or any other CM in TL right now)? I tried to find any active CMs but none of them were in any rooms I could see.
@Krazer Really, someone else already did that?
 
@LoganM ???
 
If you find a way to go back in time or send your conscious (or even send txt/emails to you past self) back in time, you can get it! — Krazer 1 min ago
 
9:39 PM
@LoganM you need Eureka?
 
@kalina yeah
 
I could tell you how to get it
but by doing so, I'd be conceding my position in 3rd to you
 
I'm pretty sure it's for discovering the secret of a hat and revealing it.
 
and I'm not sure I'm ready
no, it's for discovering the secret of THE hat and keeping it secret
you can't have Eureka until you work out how to get it
and once you know that, you've got to keep it secret
 
@kalina then how do they know that I've discovered the secret?
 
9:41 PM
;)
yeah it's like they're periodically checking for all instances of "I've*discovered*how to get*Eureka"
across the entire stack exchange network
 
@Krazer Regarding your comment on that post, was that an official response from someone in SE?
I'm trying to get Eureka, not the mod hat.
That one I know I won't get.
Anyway, if you haven't already, could you ping that to a CM in TL and see if anything happens?
 
@LoganM we had this discussion before, if you could send a d-mail to your past self you'd get it
 
@Krazer That's the mod hat, right?
I want Eureka.
 
@LoganM there is no point
 
Not the mod hat
 
9:47 PM
@LoganM the CMs get notices for all meta post on all the sites
 
this is not the correct action to takke
 
Okay whatever. I'll figure it out eventually.
If it's just knowing that the Eureka hat is given out individually by the devs, that's clearly something everyone knows by now.
Looking at the users who have it, the only trend I see is that all of them have answered a question or posted a chat message explaining at least one secret hat.
 
do you see me explaining at least one secret hat?
aha! ;)
you actually don't see me explaining that
since it's impossible for you to find the evidence
I LEFT NO EVIDENCE
sssh
 
@LoganM someone might be able to make a query to see just how many times Loli(s) have been mentioned
 
@Memor-X On the main site, sure. I don't know if it includes chat, but I suspect not.
 
10:48 PM
Just realized I forgot to post this earlier because I was too obsessed with hats. Both Aviation and Ebooks are now in beta. If anyone wants an invite or any info I can give.
 
@LoganM Can you always send invitations? Are you always in private beta? Do you commit to every proposal? :P
 
@JNat Yes, no, no
I can, however, always access the sites.
 
@LoganM If no for the latter two, how can you yes the first one?
@LoganM How/why?
 
@JNat When they send a commit email, it comes with a key that grants you access to the site. That key is good for any number of users.

Q: Identify a anime based on this scene with a dark haired girl

user3036I've only seen one scene and yes it's hentai. A guy (don't remember haircolor) is watching what I assume is his partner drink milk. The dark haired girls spills it, wetting her shirt, he gets turned on, they start making out. Any ideas?

 
10:53 PM
@LoganM oic
 
@Sakamoto seems like a lot of these have been popping up lately
in comparison to normal ID Request
 
@LoganM I forgot you keep records on everything
:P
 
@JNat I have a rather ridiculous amount of data stored about network stuff.
 
I see no problem with the above question, other than the fact that it is a bad question. The fact that it is about hentai does not make it any worse, IMO
 
I'm pretty sure I could reverse engineer the multicollider algorithm, for instance, from the data I have.
@JNat Agreed completely.
 
10:55 PM
@LoganM but dont you get that commit email if you have made a commit
 
@LoganM You haven't updated our Meta post on our stats for while now, have you?
 
Also, I don't think the question is NSFW despite being about hentai.
@JNat Got lazy with that.
I still have the data.
 
@Memor-X You'll get a commit email once a proposal gets into the commit phase, if you were following, I think
 
I'll try to update it over the break.
 
@LoganM Same
@LoganM No need, if you don't have the time. I was just wondering why :P
 
10:57 PM
@LoganM The Chuck Yeager hat?
 
@Mysticial No, I was talking about Eureka
 
@Mysticial The Eureka, I think
yeah
 
Chuck Yeager I'm pretty sure is for answering quickly, e.g. within 30 minutes.
 
@LoganM I think it has more to it than that. Votes are involved, I think
 
@JNat Not sure, but that's plausible. My answer got upvoted within a few minutes so I didn't notice.
 
10:59 PM
@LoganM oh
 
There is, most likely, a hat for FGITW too
 
@JNat I think that's what CY was supposed to be, but it's too easy.
 
BTW, FGITW is the first answer, or the first answer in x time?
 
FGITW = Fastest Gun in the West, generally refers to answers which show up quickly and thus tend to get upvotes before others with more thorough answers even get posted.
So it's not just the first answer, it's any answer that is fast enough that others who wanted to type something more complete didn't get a chance to finish.
 
DE is running on fast hardware again.
So nice to be able to run all those queries that I wasn't able to run since July.
 
11:11 PM
It might be my mind is being twisted from reading SWF translations on Yurisum of MadokaxHomura but i really hope that the Puella Magi series doesn't end without Homura being able to save Madoka and not being alone in doing so
 
11:23 PM
@LoganM Do you have any hint about the Eureka!
 
@hwlau I thought I knew but I was wrong.
 
@LoganM Is that an hint? :P
 
@JNat That hint is too vague to be useful :P
 
@JNat No more than the fact that I don't yet have a Eureka hat is a hint.
 
Point taken
 
11:29 PM
@LoganM How about IG88?
I was thinking it is bounty related, but I don't get it in the one I answered.
 
@hwlau Actually I was just about to ask you the same thing.
No idea on that one.
Still very confusing to me.
Even all the people I know who have it don't know why.
 
@LoganM I am scanning through the list of user who get it, and all of them does have answer a bounty question in the past 10 days. But most of them just don't get the bounty
 
Eureka at least makes some sense based on the distribution of people I've seen with it. IG-88 tho, I've seen all types of users with it and there doesn't seem to be anything visible linking them. I tested some invisible possibilities but I don't know.
 
@LoganM Can it have anything to do with flag handling?
 
@JNat Unlikely. I've seen users with <200 rep with it.
 
11:33 PM
@LoganM Closing questions, then?
 
It may have something to do with bounties, but I don't know what.
 
Casting the final vote or something similar?
 
@JNat 200 rep users can't VTC
 
@LoganM Right. I forget this.
I don't use other SE sites much, so I tend to forget how it feels to not have mod powers :P
 
@JNat Not having mod powers is fine. Not having VTC powers and edit powers is crippling.
Anyway bounties seems like a decent thing to look at. I'll do some exploring and report back if I find anything,.
 
11:38 PM
@LoganM If it is bounty related, either you or me will win one once I award the one I have open. Unless anyone else gives a better answer than yours :P
 
@JNat Definitely not for awarding a bounty. I already did that once.
Could have something to do with multiple bounties though.
 
@LoganM My hypothesis is that you must post answer to a bounty questions DURING the bounty period with at least one upvote. The answer itself does not need to be accepted. And the question may need to be old enough
 
@LoganM Does the awardee have the hat?
 
@JNat No, just checked.
 
@hwlau Then he would've won it with this one
 
11:39 PM
@hwlau Possible, but I did that except the "old enough" part.
 
unless it did not meet the "old enough" thing you mention
@LoganM So you won't win anything with my bounty, most likely
 
@JNat I'll still get the bounty hunter hat for sure.
That one's not secret at all.
 
@LoganM Oh, that then
 
@hwlau I don't see any bounties. Am I looking in the wrong place?
 
11:45 PM
I mean they did answer a bounty question, with 1 upvotes
Click their answer , and you can see
 
oic.
 
@hwlau His answer is on the 15th
 
Some of those are way outside the WB period though.
 
before WB started
 
Is there are rule that it must be within the WB period?
And I think 15th is also inside
 
11:49 PM
@hwlau No, it started on the 16th
 
otherwise how can I get the winter is coming now
before 20th
 
@hwlau Good point
 
All the other hats have that rule.
actually no
 
"L'chaim

post or vote on December 5"
 
Yeah I know that one
Actually, now that I look at it, almost all of these users have answers posted on bounty questions near or before the start of WB.
 
11:52 PM
 
THere are three of them get them hat
I don't think it is coincident
At least they must do something siimilar in a bounty question
 
Yes I agree that can not be a coincidence.
I'm now starting to get worried that we may have missed the opportunity.
 
Why?
 
@hwlau I haven't seen many being awarded recently.
 
ic
@LoganM I guess this one is confusing because the time extend is very long, of the week
and it also explain why there is less awarded recently
it is only 4 days from WB, but it allow ~2weeks before that
