I'm dreaming of a Cos-mic Brain,
A "hat" to wear upon my head.
But alas, my an-swers
With 9 votes on them,
Haven't been voted on in years.
^^ Can maybe be sung to the tune of "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" (even though Christmas has passed).

Hello! A have a question about "Brunhilde" hat. 150 - is a total reputation from 3 SE sites, or 150 reputation must be earned on every of 3 SE sites, i.e. 450 in total?
150 reputation on each site, so yes, 450.
@Mithrandir thanks. mission impossible for me)
16:57
*sighs wistfully* So close. 5 votes off.

Q: Do rep losses from deleted users count against Brunhilde?

Monica CellioBrunhilde is awarded for earning 150 reputation on each of three different sites (other than SO). I've earned the hat on four sites so far, three initially and the fourth today when I crossed that reputation threshold. So it appears that the hat isn't a one-time award; once you have it, other s...

@Mithrandir I already did what I could. The near misses can be frustrating; if I've counted right I'm ten rep (one answer upvote) away from Brunhilde on Worldbuilding, but I just haven't been able to crack it.
Great Answer/Universe Brain on any site seems unachievable.
@Mithrandir 4 to go! ;)
thanks ;)
@MonicaCellio You only need 4 more votes on meta.stackexchange.com/a/297825/267099 :)
17:29
@DavidPostill oh cool, thanks! That's closer than my closest Workplace answer.
Hey, upvote on Worldbuilding -- thanks, whoever that was. Looks like the hats run at different frequencies; I just got a Cosmic Brain from that, but no Brunhilde yet.
17:51
At first I was going to abstain on the Win10 one 'cause can't verify myself, but I see it worked for the OP and it's a well-written answer, so I can help you after all.
Enjoying my Taco :)
And there's my Brunhilde. :-)
(I have an unplanned self-answer on MSE -- that is, I had a question I didn't know the answer to, and comments led me to an answer, which I wrote) -- but no Sherlock yet. I wasn't chasing it and I kind of hope it happens. Hats are weird that way. :-)
18:12
My quest for pizza is off to a slow start. (Already several answers, so I went for humor. While still answering the question, of course.)
@David congrats! What was the question?
@MonicaCellio he was showing off his hat :D @David better do it on @Mithrandir 's meta question.
@DavidPostill I went to vote and they were already at 3
@eLRuLL I saw
18:20
that's a great hat btw, almost impossible to get in Stackoverflow :(
@eLRuLL no kidding.
step one: Get a HNQ
step 2: make sure you get a HNQ
step 3: ask another HNQ.
@David Yeah, thanks anyway. Got my Taco :)
what's NHQ? :D
@eLRuLL network hot question.
@David oh right, doesn't have to be a single hot one.
18:22
you ask a hot question on the network, duh
yeah, I guess I could get that hat on a different site (maybe Workplace or Science Fiction), but on Stackoverflow it is kind of impossible
@eLRuLL same on my regular site BSE.
@eLRuLL just double checking did you vote on the hat list?
(yes I'm going to be begging for votes on that)
Wow, 2 VTCs already, and a score of +4/-4 on the question (+3/-1 on the answer). The fun-haters are out in force on the Meta today :(
wow I just got the milliner on scifi too.
@Mithrandir I UVed
19:34
@David congrats for the new hat. I finally got my explorer hat. I might get one more hat (Silencium - I would have gotten it today if not for an annoying comment on some question), but I'm not even trying to get Fashionable and Waffles this time.
I was completely sure I answered this question when it was on -3 (for waffles hat), but now I see the count on that question is of -2/+5, so I think someone backed down on his vote and now I won't be getting the hat (which is not ok, because I did answer the question when it was on -3)
20:35
at least I got the Rep Cap today as consolation

Q: Has anyone saved the hats for 2017?

Alexander O'MaraThe hats go back in the box in a few days, but as they say, "The Internet is Forever." In previous years, people have made backups of the hats in their original SVG files (not just screencaps). Has anyone done this for this years hats?

Well. If someone fancies a try at the Waffles hat, the hat showcase question is now at -9 O_o. If you post an answer and get the question back up to +3, and get +5 on your answer, that difficult hat will be yours!
@Mithrandir that's a great idea
@Mithrandir I suppose it's too late for me. My answer is already at +6 :(
Did you post it when it was at/below -3?
@Mithrandir Can't remember :/
21:00
thanks for the edit @Mithrandir :D
np
tip - only put 4 spaces when you're writing code
No love for the Brunhilde clarification? Accidental Sherlock if it does better.
Thanks!
Meta people seem a little anti-hat today :(
21:26
For all you wondering why it is called the Winter Bash, this is why!
@Eran congrats on explorer. that one. man. How many tries did it take you?
@Mithrandir no kidding. I guess after Christmas people just hate fun.
@AlexanderO'Mara nice work again. UVed.
> Erie picked up more snow in 30 hours than their previous 13-day snowfall record.
Over-achievers. :-)
@MonicaCellio lol
@AlexanderO'Mara does lego have any questions with close votes bricks.stackexchange.com/tools? (I'm trying to get the oh shiny hat over there)
21:45
hey @David can you repin teh secret hat message?
ty mith
@Riker Yah. I do not know how they got unpinned. but I put it in the room description.
@David timed out
pins last for 2 weeks only iirc
did not remember there was a time limit.
yep
21:48
hmm somehow I was not aware (or just forgot) that pins only last 2 weeks.
@AlexanderO'Mara thanks. I was looking at the most recent. that looks pretty bad. (but I'm now to bricks.se so I dont want to jump the gun)
22:15
@David congrats on getting the Fashionable!
and I guess you should make it with the Universe Brain as well
@alecxe thanks. that hat is nothing but getting on the NHQ list.
@alecxe unlikely, Its sitting at 79.
thats a lot of votes in 6 days
I'm 4 votes away from Universe Brain on MSE and 7 away on Workplace.
Fashionable and Waffles aren't going to happen. I have some hope of pizza toppings.
22:36
@Mithrandir ^^
@David absolutely, NHQ is the key for Fashionable, one of mine got into HNQ for a surprisingly long time and got the insane 25k views
the hat haters are not only on meta.
Yup.
The ones that come as surprises are nice. I just got the one for having authors edit after your comments, and I wasn't paying attention to that at all. Nice surprise.
@David Indeed.
