room topic changed to Winter Bash! 2018 edition: winterbash2018.stackexchange.com Hat list meta.stackexchange.com/q/319838/278094. The more Davids, the better. (no tags)

Davіd

Agreed

David-27

The rest is just too serious

Davіd

Someone be Dave though!

Gotta love simple variations on an extremely common name!

David too

Mysticial

The hat delays must be either really long, or the descriptions are somehow misleading. No Team Player and Top(bar) Hat after 47 min.

David

1:17 AM

I guess this is what you get when you come in first three years in a row.

Davіd

@Davidtoo Ahahaha, you changed the room description!

sir flip the third

did you click on your winter bash icon @Mysticial?

Mysticial

@sirflipthethird I did. Zero hats.

David

@Mysticial some odd bug for Team Player no doubt.

Panda

@David I guess I really hate free hats jkjk

sir flip the third

1:17 AM

hmm, that's kinda weird

David too

hm

I need an avatar that works better for hats...

sir flip the third

mine kinda sucks for most hats

other than the awesome red sunglasses!

as seen here

David-27

Oh! I can switch back to my hat avatar!

I use this one year round, except for during the WB

Eran

I see they have the James Bond hat again. And it might even be the same trigger (+7 answer, no comments)

BESW

Anybody working on figuring out the Merlin?

David-27

1:20 AM

Hats fit wonderfully XD

sir flip the third

I'm gonna go change my avatar

David too

that's a better avatar :)

David-27

the Archimedes is still my all-time favorite hat though :/

Davіd

@David-27 All freehand circles must be #FF0000. Anything else is blasphemy!

Still, would look really cool with the peacekeeper hat

David

@Davidtoo Art? I think retro fan is more than a year. I only got it on BSE where I UVed a Q 2 years old.

David-27

1:22 AM

David

others just over a year no hat.

David-27

Best hat ever.

David too

@David that... seems weird, I'm sure I got it for posts under 2y

David

@David-27 "David's hat store" :)

SO UV A 1y
BSE UV Q 2y
EE DV Q 1y1m
sifi UV Q 11m

only gotten the hat for BSE

David-27

Had that avatar.

I mean really, 2015 was the best bash.

sir flip the third

1:23 AM

that's better for hats

David too

@David I'm trying again, voting on this post which is just over a year old

sir flip the third

If only I could wear my sunglasses with my green hat. sigh

David-27

Since I got no retro hat from the post one day too new to be a year old, I am now trying a question just over a year.

David

waffles askubuntu.com/users/344926/fabby?tab=activity

David-27

Waffles is back?

sir flip the third

1:25 AM

I am starting to get confused about who's who.

David

:)

Davіd

All has been assimilated into the Davids

All your username are belong to us.

sir flip the third

if only I could join the davids...

David-27

Sir David the third?

sir flip the third

lol yeah

@Catija can moderators change anyone's username?

David

1:27 AM

at this rate I could do nothing and David would be on the leader board.

David too

@sirflipthethird yes, yes we can

you don't happen to have an account on one of my sites do you

Eran

Can I be a David too? My father is a David, so I could have been David Jr. (though I'm the youngest son, so I'm not sure that would have worked)

sir flip the third

what sites are you a mod on?

David too

oh you do

David-27

The more Davids, the better.

David too

1:28 AM

preferred variant of David, @sirflip?

sir flip the third

David the third

David too

:)

Davіd

Sir David the third?

David the third

:D

David-27

I want to be able to type "@da" and have a heap of davids :)

David the third

1:29 AM

@Davіd too late now

David too

that would be @ dav... minimum three chars for pings

David the third

@Dav

who got pinged?

David too

:P

Davіd

Oof

Me

David-27

I did too XD

This is glorious!

David the third

1:30 AM

lol

David

@Davidtoo are you moving the parent account to one you moderate changing the user name, then moving the chat account back?

Eran

Do you guys think the delete 6 comments hat works only for new comments (posted during WB)? I already deleted 6 older comments and didn't get it.

David

@Davidthethird me

David the third

@Dav how are you doing?

David-27

If we all change our names to "everyone" we can do an @everyone ping and we'd all get it!

Davіd

1:31 AM

Pingingly

David too

@David nope, edit the profile on whichever site you're a mod on, hit save and copy changes to all communities, then refresh the chat profile from parent site

David-27

This is great XD

David

@David-27 do I nee to copy the discord "banned" gif?

David-27

pings abound!

@David no :(

David too

also, re-tested the RF theory, I got the hat for that post I linked just over a year old

David the third

1:31 AM

@David-27 here's your ping

David

@Davidtoo right. thanks

David-27

I like pings!

πάντα ῥεῖ

Game of thrones here?

David

@David-27 why?

Davіd

You know, the reason I added a cyrillic i last year was to avoid being pinged...

David too

1:32 AM

bahahaha

David-27

Well then you can opt out of the pinging like that XD

Or...

cdn-chat.sstatic.net/chat/se.mp3

just play that on a endless loop

David the third

I don't even wanna know what it is...

David

@David-27 I have the chat muted...

David-27

nooooooooo y?

Catija

Chat.se ping noise, presumably.

David the third

1:34 AM

@David how dare you!?!? (so do I)

Davіd

Lol, am I the only one that doesn't have it muted ?

David too

nah, I don't

Catija

Did anyone ever write a script to change the noise?

David too

@Catija several

David the third

@Davіd probably

Davіd

1:34 AM

Pinged again...

sigh

David the third

@Davіd here's another ping for you

Davіd

Oof

I think I need a cyrillic D instead

David the third

I'm going to go on a quest to get more hats...

Catija

@Davidtoo I probably just need one... though, having the sound different for each server helps me figure out where to look...

David too

@Catija IIRC, Porkchat does it

not that I have it installed

Catija

1:37 AM

Huh... I have it... don’t remember that.

David too

I might be wrong :)

Catija

But I’m lazy.

David too

or it might be buried in options

Catija

And on my iPad.

David too

OOOOH. I need to get Smokey some hats :)

Catija

1:39 AM

Probably just got 170 of them ;)

David too

true

Catija

I only got 66.

David-27

yep, just got retro fan for the question JUST over the 1 year mark.

so the trigger is indeed correct.

Catija

It would be awesome if we made the trigger something silly one year... 42 weeks, or something.

Davіd

Or like exactly 3.1415... years ago

David

1:42 AM

@David-27 ok sounds good but why did my votes not count?

Catija

Ten years, in honor of the 10th anniversary.

David

@Catija 99.5% of the network can not get that hat.

David-27

Michael Rosen - I dunno!

►

Catija

@David it’s voting, right? Or am I confused?

David too

@David were they upvotes or downvotes?

David

1:43 AM

@Catija yes

Eran

The Waffles secret hat is also out there. I don't remember what was the old trigger for that hat.

David-27

@Davidtoo Upvotes in this case.

David

@Davidtoo both. and on both Q and As

Panda

Any idea for the James Bond hat?

David

18 mins ago, by David

waffles https://askubuntu.com/users/344926/fabby?tab=activity

David too

1:44 AM

@David We know questions vs answers makes no difference... did you only get hats for the upvotes?

Panda

@Eran Answer a -3 question; later +3

Catija

@David more than 99.5% of the network can vote on SO...

David-27

@Davidtoo didn't try downvoting any.

Catija

Badly phrased...

Davіd

Waffles:

answer a question scoring -3 or lower; the question eventually becomes 3+ and your answer becomes 5+

David

1:44 AM

@Panda yap. nice question posted during the bash. I'm the only one to have it (that I know of) and I'm pretty sure it was from that.

A: Winter Bash 2017 Hats

Regular Hats In celebration of the 6th anniversary of Winter Bash, some of the most beloved hats from previous Winter Bash are making a comeback. (Stack Overflow Blog) The year and name of a hat's previous appearance are noted below each hat. Click on each of the hats for a larger image. ID...

Eran

@Panda well, they already have a different hat for that

Davіd

@Catija Do you know if this year has Foot of the Rainbow?

Panda

@David ahh thanks

David too

@David-27 wrong david :P

David

1:45 AM

@Davіd probably not the trigger this year. the Red Baron hat uses that trigger.

David-27

@Davidtoo I have a feeling that will be happening a lot :)

Ahh

@Davіd 🤐

Didn't see that

@Eran that’s true – I guess some trigger form here

Q: Winter Bash: Common Hats

There are a few triggers for Winter Bash hats that are reused throughout the years. Since it's the 6th anniversary of Winter Bash, here's a post that lists all the hats with common criteria throughout the 6 Winter Bashes. Hope that this list of criteria will be useful in guessing the triggers f...

Davіd

1:46 AM

@David-27 No such thing as too many Davids

Eran

This user (askubuntu.com/users/344926/fabby) got Waffles. He/she has lots of reviewing/commenting activity since WB started, so it might be related.

David-27

@Catija Now you might not be able to reveal what hats there are, but PLEASE tell me there isn't a Fortnite related hat :(

Catija

What’s that?

David-27

There is a reason Youtube Rewind 2018 is on a fast track to be the most disliked video ever.

Davіd

@Catija 😭

That was my favourite hat from last year.

Timed my Fanatic perfectly and got it in the last few days of WB

David-27

1:47 AM

@Catija Consider yourself VERY fortunate you don't know. Fortnite is a plague that has ruined Youtube, and most of the rest of the internet as well.

Catija

@Davіd 😬

@David-27 I’m generally aware of it being a video game/app?

David

kind of sad the is no hat for a general gold badge. I've been saving my Steward for the WB.

David-27

Yeah. A stupidly popular one. Basically, it is SO popular, YT's algorithm favors it high enough that plenty of otherwise decent channels had to sell out and start making videos of that horrid game, just to stay relevant.

Eran

Two of the people who got Merlin, got Enlightened badge since the start of WB. Could the trigger be that simple?

Davіd

Checking through the list here: stackoverflow.com/help/badges/19/enlightened

Eran

1:54 AM

If anybody wants to test that, here's a question that needs one more upvote for Enlightened - stackoverflow.com/questions/53101128/…

Davіd

Yep, first four all have it

@Eran Ok

Lol, daily vote limit reached

facepalm

Eran

@Davіd already? lol

Davіd

Yep

Was trying to get electorace

*electorate

Missed by 3 votes

Because I voted on answers instead of questions

sobs

Eran

I should be getting a new gold tag badge, but for some reason I haven't yet. When I do, we'll see if there's a secret gold badge hat.

Davіd

@Eran Shall we call upon the Davs to upvote this question, since I am incapacitated?

We have formed an alliance to protect and preserve all hats everywhere.

Pandya

1:58 AM

After opting out, the button in top bar should go away.

Eran

@Davіd looks like someone upvoted that answer and then reversed it. I got nice answer badge, but the vote count is 9

Davіd

@Eran I did try an upvote it, but failed due to the daily vote limit, maybe that counted?

Eran

@Davіd that would be strange if it did.

David the third

@Davіd I don't think it counts as a vote after you used up all your daily votes

Eran

Now I got a vote that remains. Now it should take a few minutes till Enlightened is awarded

David the third

2:03 AM

I just became depressed: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/159307/how-about-multiple-hats

Eran

OK, I got Enlightened. We'll see if I get Merlin. Thanks to whoever helped.

Yep, it's confirmed. I got Merlin hat

Davіd

2:18 AM

@Eran Congrats!

Eran

The Team Player issue must have been fixed. I got it now

@Davіd thanks

David too

room topic changed to Winter Bash! 2018 edition: winterbash2018.stackexchange.com Hat list: meta.stackexchange.com/q/319838/278094. Knitting show-off: meta.stackexchange.com/q/319846/262823. The more Davids, the better. [davids] [hats] [secrets]

Panda

Yep I got Team Player too

David too

likewise

Panda

seems like it's very delayed

and merlin's indeed enlightened

Panda

2:51 AM

wait who got rubber ducky

Davіd

Maan, this is taking forever. Darn my patriotism.

David too

@Davіd +1 stripes and dimensions in the right place

Eran

@Davіd well, perhaps it should remain broken (or should I say broxen?)

Davіd

Nope

Still working on it

2.5 quarters done

taking a little break now

Anybody want to help?

Heh heh

Never have I wished for a straightedge tool more in my life

Eran

3:07 AM

@David where did you copy that secret Rubber Ducky hat from?

Nevermind. I found it too.

Catija

Eran

I just noticed there's a very small number of regular hats - 21. Hopefully there will be a lot of secret ones. I'm used to a total of 40+ hats.

A: Winter Bash 2018 Knitting

What better to draw in the winter bash header then a scene from a winter bash header! Here is the header from 2015 for reference:

@Eran sorry I was "busy" ^^

Eran

@David that's okay. And great knitting!

David

"knitting"

Eran

3:22 AM

Was the waffles hat used just on one winter bash? I wonder if it ever had a different trigger (other than the -3/+3 question)

Catija

There aren't enough colors.

I need more yarn choices.

Eran

Any ideas about the Waffles or Rubber Ducky hats?

David

was just looking. waffles looks like it is review related. ducky not sure.

Davіd

Aaandd... done: meta.stackexchange.com/a/319859/376533

David

@Catija *darn choices.

Davіd

3:33 AM

@Catija I need a ruler. That's all I want for Christmas. A darned ruler for my knitting.

David

@Eran however the guy on space had two interesting cases. Noting the name has something to do with asking editing and answering your own Q

Catija

It'd be nice if the stitches were a bit bigger, too :P

David

@Catija NO. bigger would mean less resolution. I needed all the detail I can get in there.

Catija

I mean in the editor... saving can be smaller.

Eran

@David either review or comment. I saw a lot of comments posted by 3 users who got it (and one of the 3 didn't have recent reviews)

David

3:35 AM

@Eran post then delete a comment? just a guess

David too

@Catija what other colors would be useful

David

the names normaly mean somehting

Eran

@David 2 of the 3 didn't post any questions/answers today. Perhaps the posts can be older.

David

can I get a UV on this BSE meta answer? I want to see if child metas count too.

@Eran for duck?

Catija

@Davidtoo There's only one green... more would be good. There's no brown.

Eran

3:38 AM

@David no, for waffles. I only saw one duck

@David and you got the vote, but I don't think it will work on a child meta

Catija

I guess the fifth dot is supposed to be purple?

David too

@Catija There's a brown-ish orange

David

@Eran yah me either. but some things seem to have changed.

Eran

I'll have to take a break soon, when the rest of the house wakes up...

Catija

@Davidtoo Yeah, I mean dark brown... like a chocolate color.

More shades of grey could be fun, too. There's like... five blues and only one each of everything else. :P

David too

3:42 AM

@Catija wanna poke Nick or whoever to get the Winterbash JS up on dev.sstatic.net? :)

Catija

Meaning what?

Make it so that users can customize the sweater builder?

David too

The knitting JS gets served in production from cdn.sstatic.net in minified hard-to-read form. That's the same for the rest of SE JS, but in most cases there's a mirror of it on dev.sstatic.net that's not minified and can be read easily

being able to read the code makes it much easier to userscript it

but the winterbash JS doesn't appear to be there

Catija

Ah... hmmm... Maybe? Dunno. I'll ask. And now I'm off to sleep.

David too

:)

David

@Eran got both freehand circle and peacekeeper from the child meta post.

so yeh some things work on metas

Eran

3:49 AM

@David well, freehand is a meta specific hat.

David

lol nevermind peacekeeper had nothing to do with that.

right I was looking for Merlin. probably should go to bed. I'm getting confused.

Eran

I probably should have stayed in bed till now instead of waking up 4 hours ago. It's going to be a long day.

David

its the other end of the day for me. :) timezones

James Bond doesn’t seem to be Nice Question

Could be answer own question and both +3

David

@Davіd you will get a hat for your straight edge troubles.

@Panda Oh I wonder if it is double 0 seven again?

Panda

@David Yea I think so

David

no not that. but the seven jumped into my head.

Panda

> Answer +7 with no comments on Q or A

The 007 hat^

David too

Gah

David

4:26 AM

@Panda well my answer would of fit that trigger.

that does fit the name way better then nice question.

Panda

@David yep, I presume it’s that

David too

I got so close to scripting in extra colors... extra options added in the right places... but the event handlers contain a color parameter somehow and because I don't have dev JS I can't find what and where

David

@Panda good thinking.

> 007 is earned by reaching a score of 7 on an answer of yours where both the answer and the question have 0 comments.

Panda

yep :)

Any ideas on the rubber duck one

David

not really. you?

Panda

4:33 AM

nah no idea yet, it’s really rare

Jo King

Is the silencium hat broken? or will it just get taken away when my question gets an answer?

WELZ

Anybody have a link to a user that has it?

David

@WELZ space.stackexchange.com/users/12102/uhoh?tab=activity for the duck

@JoKing is or was broken (I think they fixed it) and you will probably keep the hat.

Panda

@JoKing Yea, they fixed it but those awarded wrongly won’t be taken away

3

A: Got Silencium on a question with no answers for 15 min

This is fixed. That is, it's fixed in the sense that we're no longer awarding Silencium to brand new questions. As Shog pointed out, we just needed a and q.CreationDate < DATEADD(d, -7, @Time) in there. It's not fixed in the sense that you still have your hat. I can't say what will happen the...

Mithrandir

@David Guess: Answer your own question.

And possibly accept it.

David

4:47 AM

@Mithrandir I did that for the hat post.

Mithrandir

Isn't that CW, though?

David

yes. should that matter?

maybe. I guess
