In any event, it does seem clear based on the reference that you have to lose a bounty to someone who is faster, or something like that.

JNat

@LoganM Try that, then

Don't you have other accounts?

Logan M

@JNat Will do.

JNat

Try to post an answer on my question

Logan M

@JNat You mean, on anime?

I'd rather not post answers that aren't real answers.

My goal is to do this as legit as possible.

JNat

@LoganM Ok then

@LoganM I didn't mean a fake answer. But maybe an answer a bit worse than the other one, though correct

Logan M

12:02 AM

@JNat Hard to do that without it being redundant.

Anyway I think I can find a better question to do it on.

Logan M

Just got Eureka without doing anything.

Mysticial

We get a hat for getting starred today?

Logan M

@Mysticial Enjoy

Mysticial

Who doesn't have it?

@LoganM thx!

If you need the hat for getting starred today, post a picture of a loli and we will star it.

Logan M

@Mysticial I'm not sure if this needs the clause about hats today. I'll star lolis any day.

thanking you....when do i get the hat?

JNat

12:50 AM

@Memor-X NOW

lol, you should get it within a minute or so

Memor-X

@JNat nope, nothing...it's not the johnny 3 hats is it?

Braiam

@Memor-X wait till a quarter of hour

Krazer

@LoganM what's Before It Was Cool for?

Memor-X

wait, i got it now, i have to manually go into my collection rather than waiting for the notices or hat count to increase.....lol, Winter is coming and it's 31.6°C outside

Logan M

@Krazer This one was revealed on MSO (though we figured it out here a lot earlier thanks to @Yuki). Create a tag, and have at least one other user ask a question in the tag. May also require your first question to be upvoted, not sure.

@Braiam Don't know if you were paying attention, but we've figured out some stuff about your hat. It requires you to lose a bounty to a faster answerer. It also seems to have started before the normal WB period.

JNat

12:55 AM

@Memor-X No, it's the one I'm wearing

Logan M

lol that literally just got posted on meta:

A: How do you get the IG-88 hat? *spoiler*

As we all know, Fett gets the bounty for finding Han Solo. But here is how you do it, IG-88 style

JNat

@LoganM So now all you have to do is post a better answer in my question, with another user :P

Logan M

@JNat No, I want Bounty Hunter still.

Once you know how to do this one, it's actually easier than Bounty Hunter.

JNat

So you need to get one of them from somewhere else

Logan M

I just have to find any old bounty question, and post an answer.

Braiam

12:58 AM

@LoganM I got mine assured

Logan M

It needs at least 1 upvote.

probably

but I can get that

Then wait for the bounty to end and I'll get the hat.

Memor-X

1:08 AM

@MarkS. i think it's from Utena but then again that's soley based off the fact that 1) it's a girl, 2) she's dressed in a guy's outfit, 3) looks oldish animation

Braiam

@LoganM man... I know now why :(

Mark S.

@JNat Better character than any Loli. @Memor-X From the Utena movie

Mysticial

@MarkS. That's not a loli. lol

@MarkS. I don't think @LoganM will agree with that

@Mysticial I thought that typo was on purpose

@JNat unless he use a Dvorak keyboard, it was on purpose

@MarkS. is it any different from the original series?

@JNat he lack balance, i can drop quite low doing that

@Memor-X The style is quite similar; the plot is different

Mark S.

1:37 AM

That's kind of unfortunate. Variety is good for a growing site maybe

@Braiam

Logan M

You might be disqualified from getting it if I tell you how to do it.

With that said, you can ask Manish or anyone else with the badge. I'm pretty sure everyone who has it knows what you have to do to get it. Most probably better than me.

hwlau

@LoganM So, you are saying the same thing as kalina?

Logan M

@hwlau yeah, for now

hwlau

Why I should ask Manish rather than you?

Manish did tell me to find it a the MSO, but I don't get what it mean

Logan M

He has a better sense of what is fair to tell you and what isn't.

A: Winter Bash 2013: Secret Hats

They're not really all that secret if we give it all away so easily, are they? Here are some hints - if you can figure them out, you're on your way to some SECRET hats: ...then I took an arrow to the knee. Earned ten of the most meaningless points on the 'Net I live... AGAIN! He ain't no drag...

hwlau

@Krazer Is it real hint? I read it few times, but dont get what they mean

Krazer

@hwlau some of the ones tell you how to get it while others, I'm not sure

Logan M

@hwlau In any event, there are at least 10 people with the hat, so you can try asking elsewhere. I will give you a hint that I got this badge on Anime SE for something on Anime SE. Most people got it on MSO, but I most definitely got it here.

Krazer

I live... AGAIN! = Kabuto Helm

Earned ten of the most meaningless points on the 'Net = Unicorn

Logan M

1:46 AM

So if you pay attention to everything I've done over the past week, you could probably figure it out.

Mark S.

The trick is to be named Logan M, clearly

hwlau

@Krazer Oh. I never read any riddle before

@LoganM I only know you become crazy with hathathat...

Logan M

@hwlau Yes, I am pretty crazy about hats.

Braiam

but @LoganM will not get mine!

Logan M

@Krazer I was thinking that one was Chuck Yeager.

Braiam

Mark S.

@hwlau Are you asking me to change my name it LoganM?

@LoganM I can't be that crazy like you

Braiam

@MarkS. Yes

@hwlau no

There are only so many people capable of putting together words that stir and move and sing = Hipster?

You may have to go to Puerto Vallarta, break the law and then fight extradition to get over this one = Headphones?

Logan M

@Krazer It's a reference to John Wesley Hardin. His gun that he died with was inscribed with that. The gun itself is a Colt M1877. That model in particular was nicknamed "Lightning". Hence I think it's for FGITW.

@Krazer 'This one is supposed to be hard.

hwlau

@Krazer Seems, it should correspond to the "I am not hearing"

@LoganM Methinks it's a reference to Dog the Bounty Hunter

Logan M

@Krazer Did they have an episode like that? I don't know, haven't seen the show.

Krazer

@LoganM talkleft.com/story/2006/09/14/480/75004/crimenews/…

If they do, that is probably IG-88

Only confirmed bounty-related secret hat.

and it doesn't seem to match anything else.

"...then I took an arrow to the knee" makes more sense for Hipster

"There are only so many people capable of putting together words that stir and move and sing" seems related to gospel music

Q: Why does Goku wear different Gi in DBGT?

I've always wondered why he changed his gi to a blue top, white belt, and yellow pants. Is this perhaps due Akira Toriyama never creating the actual DBGT series? If so, is there an substantial evidence?

hwlau

@Krazer That one seems needing some editing to something? CW or tag wiki?

Logan M

@Krazer This is an exact quote from the novel "The Space Merchants". I don't know anything about it though.

It is really damn hard, it looks like I am hearing aliens talking here

Krazer

@LoganM hmm in light of this it might be for unique ip clicks

> “There are only so many people capable of putting together words that stir and move and sing. When it became possible to earn a very good living in advertising by exercising this capability, lyric poetry was left to untalented screwballs who had to shriek for attention and compete by eccentricity.”

Logan M

2:06 AM

@Krazer Sounds like publicist badge or something.

Krazer

possible

"He ain't no drag" is clearly a reference to "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag"

Mysticial

@JNat "The loli club."

Logan M

@Mysticial I'm in favor

Krazer

thinking maybe something with the top tags

Logan M

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like 90% of the hats are actually really ugly on my avatar. Or at least, they obscure Miki without any appreciable benefit, which is basically the same thing. Anyone else get that impression?

hwlau

2:23 AM

@LoganM How about the rabbit ears?

Logan M

@hwlau Need to get that one

But it requires 10 questions on one site

So it will be a little while

hwlau

@LoganM You can't ask questions quickly? Someone are good to come up with questions, but I am not.

Maybe you can post many suggestions at MSO

Logan M

@hwlau I can ask questions quickly, but it's annoying to people here if I do it too much.

We used to have an event where we would all post questions on Saturdays, and I regularly had 15+ such questions.

hwlau

I think no one with care if you do it at SO or MSO

Logan M

But now I prefer to only ask a few a day.

@hwlau I don't use MSO much. I don't really like the culture there. As for SO, I don't know how to write a "hello world" program in any language so that's off the table.

hwlau

2:28 AM

Ok, you dont know programming. Then stick to the site you like.

Logan M

I could easily do 10 in a day. I may do that later, but for now I'm more concerned with getting peanut gallery, I see your point, full house, and IG-88

@ton.yeung I got 42 on the same question I got Hello World. I also got a "Notable Question" badge the same day.

It was #3 on the hot questions list for a few hours too.

You only need 500 views, which is cake on MSO.

I got 2500 on Academia with a silly question tho

If you can find the right mix of silly and serious, the question will catch on like crazy.

Not so much for MSO tho since MSO doesn't appear on hot questions list.

(which is probably a good thing since otherwise it would dominate all the other sites by far)

Memor-X

out of all the names/clues of hats, i'm suppressed there's no "the cake is a lie" or something along those lines

Logan M

@Memor-X That reference is too obvious. Everyone would get it and there would be no mystery.

"...arrow to the knee" is pretty close for all practical purposes though

Mysticial

How about "Service Factory" as our chatroom name?

Or "Maid Cafe".

Memor-X

3:26 AM

@Mysticial that one might be better since it's more anime/manga centric

Logan M

@Mysticial I think it has to be something a bit peculiar, like "The Bridge" (who plays video games on a bridge?!) or "The Comms Room" (I don't even know what that's supposed to mean)

Mysticial

"Hikikomori Hangout"

Memor-X

@LoganM The Comms Room is probably a reference to the hidden Communications Room that the Commander sits in and oversees the game in things like the Commander View in Battlefield 4 of in general RTSs

Logan M

@Memor-X Comms Room is for Server Fault

Anyone else notice that Eureka loads way faster than all other hats, especially on e.g. this page?

For me, the ones with Eureka load the hat at the same time as the avatar, but all other hats take until after the page finishes loading everything else.

Mysticial

I can't come up with any better name than just "The Maid Cafe".

Logan M

@Krazer Oh go ahead. I thought you were trying for a meta guru badge, which I would advise is probably too much for this level of info.

Mysticial

@LoganM I'm not entirely in favor of "The loli club", since "Loli" might come across some people the wrong way. (even if we're perfectly fine with it)

Logan M

@Mysticial okay, write it in katakana then so that people won't know what we're talking about

Anyway maids are okay too I guess if we're desperate.

2:32 PM

@Krazer Not me ^_^

"death" and "receiving enough bodily harm to cause death," that is, "killed," are separate concepts in Japanese culture

there are two words in the japanese language that denote death, see...

死ね= shine = "to die", also other variants like nakunaru = "to pass away" and a few other niche variants and then there is 殺す= korosu= "to kill"

the thing is that even though the word means to kill, the actual definition can mean, to cause enough damage to result in death

Braiam

die and kill is different in english too :/

Krazer

So when you see "he wouldn't die even if he were killed"
it actually means something more like "he wouldn't die even if he were to be shot/hanged/stabbed/burnt/other-things-that-cause-death"
but since the word korosu's first definition is "to kill" the majority of translations put it as such

Braiam

@Krazer is difficult to translate jap->eng, give em some credit :P

sounds weird in english, yeah, but that's because english is weird too

Krazer

2:42 PM

translations are too literal, people forgot to translate cultural differences

Madara Uchiha

@Krazer So basically "Madara wouldn't die even if he were killed".

3

Sounds about right :D

Krazer

also the word "korosu" isn't used in that line at all (in the image). the joke is that she suddenly realises 失血死 (a term meaning "death from blood loss") means to die. Which should be obvious.. the line is intentionally goofy because, well, it's Mako.

JNat

@LoganM Oh, ok

Logan M

I totally didn't cheat by asking the second Outbreak Company question from an anonymous account. It wasn't cheating because I had no idea how the hipster hat worked at the time. Also, deleting that question immediately after to try to hide the criteria of the hat as long as possible isn't cheating. It's just strategy.
