@DavidPostill The Link from Zelda not the html link.. "Hero of Time" is the title of this hat for posting at 7:00 pm in any time zone.

micsthepick

Does the mad hatter require you to edit someone else's post?

Journeyman Geek

@micsthepick I got mine from tag fixups which I do anyway

micsthepick

@JourneymanGeek on your own question?

Journeyman Geek

naw

SU has a big list of tags we need to clean up

DavidPostill

@micsthepick I did a few random old questions that still had "thanks" in them.

Journeyman Geek

14:11

just went there, picked 5 questions and did the needful XD

Anyone else chicken hunting?

Michael

How to hat?

Journeyman Geek

get hat. wear hat.

Michael

Mmm hat

xD

Journeyman Geek

(I have a mod hat under my mod hat ;p

DavidPostill

(I have my bald head under my mod hat ;p)

Michael

14:18

I don't have a hat :(

micsthepick

@Michael do you have the mobile app?

you can get a hat just from voting seven times on questions or answers in the same site on the mobile app.

thesecretmaster

I can't seem to get the "delete 10 old comments" hat.

Journeyman Geek

eh. That's easy.

Just go through your old comments ;p

thesecretmaster

@JourneymanGeek But they're all good!

Kidding.

I deleted a ton of them.

anonymous2

@JourneymanGeek According to the guidance, it's only on your own comments.

delete 10 of your own comments posted in 2017 before the start of Winter Bash

Riker

14:30

yeah, only your own comments. I purged 10 comments on a post and didn't get the hat

WELZ

I deleted 10 of my comments, no hat yet... does it take time?

Journeyman Geek

@anonymous2 ya, its your own

@WELZ caching

+ there's apparently wandering grinches ;p

Michael

Sounds like a children's book

"I asked 5 questions on superuser...no hat yet. I posted 10 messages in 10 different rooms...no hat yet."

xD

Journeyman Geek

ooh, close to a rep cap ;)

DavidPostill

I''m one answer and one vote away from a gold badge ...

Riker

14:37

you can do it :p

I'm at 80/80 posts and 399/400 score on a silver tag badge right now

micsthepick

@JourneymanGeek Do you have to not make any comments, or just none on the questions that you edit?

Riker

not sure if I can even get a good badge

Journeyman Geek

@micsthepick donno, no one made any. I didn't make any

WELZ

@micsthepick just on those posts

Journeyman Geek

That's why I picked tag fixups

WELZ

14:39

"edit, or suggest an edit, 5 times in a single UTC day without commenting on the post"

Riker

@WELZ bad description?

it's without edit comments I think

micsthepick

the way I read it, you have to edit a post five times without making a comment

Riker

hm

WELZ

@Riker That's the official description winterbash2017.stackexchange.com/the-mad-hatter

Riker

I know

WELZ

14:41

@Riker nope, I did, I have the hat

Riker

hm ok

WELZ

It took a good few hours for me to get it (probably to make sure you don't comment)

Riker

hm, ppcg has 2 marshal badges handed out

1 to a high-rep user

and the other to somebody with 103 rep :p

Journeyman Geek

0_0

that takes committment

Riker

he's got like 12k on SO, that's it I think

he's got 1 answer total on ppcg, meta answer

WELZ

14:43

@JourneymanGeek or autoflagging

Journeyman Geek

that's also kinda dedication? ;p

I think I was at abooout 30k when i got my marshal. Maybe more.

3 yearsish ago?

Riker

for "I'll handle it", can the post be closed before wb?

Journeyman Geek

donno

that's a tricky one for me

Riker

why?

Journeyman Geek

Well, If I close it, edit it and reopen it on SU, I basically abuse my hammer ;p

and most stuff I close on MSE is really crap

Riker

14:49

@JourneymanGeek ah I see

not a problem on ppcg, where we get like 1/3 questions closed

anonymous2

@JourneymanGeek Could do it on ServerFault or SoftRecs

Journeyman Geek

@anonymous2 true

Riker

and then 6/7 of those reopened in a couple days

Journeyman Geek

I'm not on SF as much as I used to

not as much chances to play with fun stuff these days

anonymous2

Should be relatively easy on SoftRecs.

Journeyman Geek

14:50

ehh, maybe

not using it as much either ;p

anonymous2

Maybe not the re-opening part, but the closing and editing would be pretty easy.

Journeyman Geek

yup

anonymous2

I still can't get over getting the Tumbleweed badge on a question with a bounty on it over on SoftRecs.

Riker

LOL

Erik the Outgolfer

why secret hats, why ;_;

Riker

14:53

@EriktheOutgolfer they're all pretty simple at least

just harder

Erik the Outgolfer

@Riker we don't know if those are all

and I'm afraid that's a secret

Journeyman Geek

@EriktheOutgolfer I got a pair. One of which without really trying.

Erik the Outgolfer

@JourneymanGeek yeah the ooh shiny one is relatively easy to get

David

@X-27 LOL nice video!

good troll/joke

Erik the Outgolfer

also btw I should've got its-a-me at least an hour ago

David

15:06

@AlexanderO'Mara definitely. both must be posted during the bash.

@Glorfindel I still expect a solstice hat.

@DragandDrop you have one minute. from 7:00:00 till 7:00:59

@micsthepick no,no edit 5 posts without leaving a comment.

@Panda thanks for adding all the hats into the list!

Panda

@David No problem :)

caird coinheringaahing

15:24

Seems everyone's got the SE hat but me :/

David

@cairdcoinheringaahing the mod hat?

caird coinheringaahing

@David Yeah

David

@cairdcoinheringaahing Just CV something that already has a few CVs

caird coinheringaahing

ಠ_ಠ PPCG hasn't had a closable challenge since yesterday

Riker

it had earlier today

>_>

it's had 2 off-topic questions so far today :p

David

15:28

@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh that kind of trouble. come over to BSE we got hundreds, probably thousands.

Riker

you missed this one earlier

and this one

caird coinheringaahing

@David Don't have enough rep (or an account :P)

David

@cairdcoinheringaahing rep doesn't not matter, flag to close works too.

caird coinheringaahing

@David Well, in that case, I might as well go over to SO and get 5 hats :P (Yes I know it doesn't work like that)

Riker

@cairdcoinheringaahing you gettting it now on ppcg? :p

hovering at 4 if you didn't vtc already

caird coinheringaahing

15:45

@Riker I was the first to VTC :P

Riker

lol

tfw you're 1 off on two badges

(silver code-golf score, waiting for the thingy to remember I made my 100th edit for archeologist)

micsthepick

15:57

So I should have mad hatter right?

David

that one is rather slow

Derpy

hiding well you have.

@Panda meta.stackexchange.com/questions/304340/winter-bash-2017-hats/… Mario and Link ones were taken from the original Hat Dash event on Arqade. I added the info on the post. Sadly, can't confirm the original name for the Mario hat.

BTW - if anyone wants to try. Probably it is just an easter egg, but could be hiding some secret hat clue. See here)

WELZ

16:13

for the Brain badges.... does it have to be answered during WB, or you just have to get the badge now?

Derpy

for anyone not getting why we are researching chickens, I suggest reading this one too

caird coinheringaahing

Can you get Mad Hatter from editing your own posts?

Riker

probably

David

@WELZ only get the badge durning the bash

@cairdcoinheringaahing haven't tried. let me know if it works.

Panda

@Derpy Great, thanks!

I think the actual name's "The Numismatic"

as per this no-CSS web archive page of Hats Dash: web.archive.org/web/20120108015416/http://hatdash.com:80

and this image which shows it's the 18th hat on the list: stackpromos.com/content/img/common/hatdash/2.jpg

David

16:28

Oh neat link's hat is hero of time

Derpy

@Panda yep, that was my source. Didn't think to check on the web.archive.

David

@Panda do you also want to make a note about what year and hat the trigger was from?

that will be harder for the old ones

Derpy

Funny. Edited 5 old questions on SharePoint. Got werewolf but no mad hatter.

David

@Derpy you will, it just takes longer

Derpy

yep. Probably it is just still pending

Riker

16:36

@Derpy are you SPArcheologist?

Derpy

Anyway, see you later. Will see if I can find some more info about the chicken

Riker

o/

Panda

@David I'm not exactly sure, but I think some of the triggers are new?

Derpy

@Riker Yep. Long story short, this account started as a bot test, then I started using it for the chat site.

Riker

ah

Panda

16:38

@Derpy Haha

David

@Panda some, but many of the regular hats are reused.

Panda

@David That's true

But it seems like many hats are reused throughout a few years

I collated this list last year

Cause they are reused multiple times, its probably hard to compile a full list lol

Eran

16:53

Getting ready for my 7pm question. Fun fact - it will actually be posted on 7pm my local time.

micsthepick

just one upvote from a hat:

9

A: Three Right Triangles

The answer is: it can be found in these triangles: note that: Why smaller numbers do not work: as you can see:

Eran

@micsthepick there you go

micsthepick

@Eran thank you

I got the cosmic brain

do we know what that is for?

Panda

17:10

Also, I’m think one of the criteria in the above list’ll probably trigger a secret hat

@micsthepick it’s for nice answer

micsthepick

okay

I was going for puzzling.stackexchange.com/help/badges/19/enlightened

does it have to be that score when accepted?

Panda

Nope, just need to score +10 to get cosmic brain

micsthepick

but what about for IDENTIFICATION DIVISION? I was aiming to get the linked (^^^) badge?

Panda

Have you received the enlightened badge yet?

Probably need to wait a while longer

micsthepick

okay

David

17:36

@Panda wow nice chart.

Rod

17:47

The only hat that I have is this "You have not earned any hats yet." :c

Mr. Xcoder

does anyone have any idea what the secret hat I and Giuseppe are wearing is for?

Laikoni

A: Winter Bash 2017 Hats

Secret Hats Ooh, Shiny! Cosmic Brain Galaxy Brain Universe Brain Rep Cap

Mr. Xcoder

Ah thanks

Mr. Xcoder

Oh huh there is a rooms for this :D

Erik the Outgolfer

18:05

duh, it's actually quite surprisingly hard to find comments to delete for a hat responsibly

micsthepick

@Panda I finally got it

Rand al'Thor

18:36

Going for the self-answering hat with a SAQ that I've been meaning to post for a while:

Alexander O'Mara

If you place a 100 point bounty, is that 200 or 300 points you need to rep cap?

Rand al'Thor

1

Q: Is the Flame and the Void a real meditation technique?

In the Wheel of Time series, several characters - especially the protagonist, Rand al'Thor - use a technique they call "the Flame and the Void" in order to improve their concentration. It's used by archers to perfect their aim, by male channellers to find saidin, and it's also a way of ignoring e...

wheel-of-time

@AlexanderO'Mara If you place a 100-point bounty, the max you can get in the day is 100 (plus acceptances).

Mithrandir

votes to close as off topic

Rand al'Thor

But for the Epic/Legendary badges, "rep cap" means "at least 200 in a day", not "max possible in a day".

[bug]

caird coinheringaahing

@David Doesn't look like it :/

Rand al'Thor

18:39

@Mithrandir A downvote? D-:

Mithrandir

Hey, wasn't me

I'm guessing it's SFF being allergic to self answers again

Alexander O'Mara

Shameless plug for my attempt at Universe Brain:

53

Q: ReCaptcha API v2 Styling

I have not had much success finding how to style Google's new recaptcha (v2). The eventual goal is to make it responsive, but I am having difficulty applying styling for even simple things like width. Their API documentation does not appear to give any specifics on how to control styling at all ...

javascript css captcha recaptcha

Mithrandir

@Randal'Thor I think I recall something about it in one of Roald Dahl's stories, BTW

Henry Sugar

micsthepick

@Randal'Thor have a consolation upvote :c)

Rand al'Thor

Aw, thanks :-D

Alexander O'Mara

20:19

Rep capping is hard when nobody posts good questions...

Skooba

20:47

is there a google docs set up this year to test/confirm triggers for secret hats?

Mithrandir

I don't think so

Erik the Outgolfer

@Skooba well, you're asking too soon :p it might be eventually created

David

@AlexanderO'Mara :) thinking of rep capping are you? If you give out 100 rep today (bounty or DVs) you need to get 300 to cap, and get the hat.

@Skooba not so far, because all the secret hat as of yet were pretty easy.

Alexander O'Mara

@David You sure? Someone else said I would still only need 200.

Mithrandir

If you give out 100 rep bounty, you won't be able to make more than a net earn of 100 today, which doesn't count as a repcap for the badges. I don't know about the hat.

Erik the Outgolfer

21:03

I think you need to get +200 net rep, not repcap

Skooba

21:14

@EriktheOutgolfer ah okay. just ahead of the curve!

Mithrandir

21:36

*wonders if this sneaky way of linking answer will work*

VRM

nope

Mithrandir

it did ;)

it just took a few tries

VRM

so sneaky I didn't even notice

Mithrandir

exactly

I only wanted the most determined of all to see it

Alexander O'Mara

22:36

Just got rep cap. Looks like you just need to earn 200 points, excluding bounties.

Mithrandir

Excluding downvoting answers, too.

Because I just got it.

Alexander O'Mara

Now I can take a little break!

Rob

22:53

Hmm.. from David's starred comment; are mods given the details for hats? I was under the impression it was only employees with the information

thesecretmaster

@Rob Mods are not told about any of the hats AFAIK

Rory Alsop

@Rob mods aren't given the info

Mithrandir

We asked the CMs about those specifically.

Rob

Ah, okay

David

23:16

@AlexanderO'Mara well I'm not 100% sure, but I think remember from 2 years ago that you needed net 200

@Mithrandir I have the same type of thing in the Hat post on the meta.

@Rob no we are not.
