@U12-Forward I got clean-up, don't recall how many flags I made that day.
 
1:15 AM
@user1271772 WWow
Which site?
 
 
2 hours later…
2:46 AM
@user1271772 Uhmm... there is no cleanup hat in your activity section... this might be happening due to this bug?
 
3:09 AM
@Wolgwang Oops, maybe I lost it. I only had 23 accepted flags since Winter Bash started though, so maybe you need to flag up to your maximum daily limit and have a certain percentage of them approved?
 
3:50 AM
@YaakovEllis Did anyone earn the "Game hat" yet?
 
4:16 AM
@YaakovEllis We need hints!
 
4:48 AM
No hats being awarded now
This is bad!
 
@U12-Forward Yeah, bad as I feel about asking for hints, we definitely do need a hint on that one.
 
5:22 AM
@YaakovEllis I need a hint for the rep hunter badge. It's not supposed to be a secret hat, but the description seems to be wrong or incomplete (there's been some discussion about it in this chat room in the last few days).
 
5:42 AM
@nobody Yeap, I need it on Cleanup too
Also the Quadalogue
 
 
1 hour later…
6:42 AM
Wait! Will we be able to get New Moon now?
Well.. Hats aren't triggering anyway
 
 
2 hours later…
8:36 AM
Hint for E-pic. The name of the hat should really point you in the direction of what you should be looking for (or maybe what you should not be looking for)
@U12-Forward No idea why it hanged, but I rekicked the awards process, all should be flowing now
@U12-Forward The "Game hat"?
 
8:53 AM
> "Game hat":Hat with ID -100, referenced in the wummer-hats.js source file.
 
@Wolgwang nope, no one has a hat with that Id yet
 
Hmm I thought the same and removed it from the list a few days ago.
 
@user1271772 ok, found an issue with the rep hunter query. Fixing now, but might not go live until tomorrow (needs someone else to approve my PR, and I am probably the only one in the company working now)
 
@YaakovEllis Quadalogue: A asks a positive score question, B answer the question, A and C comment under the answer, and B edis the question?
 
@Wolgwang Almost there. So close. Everything that you wrote is correct, but missing one final qualifier
 
9:00 AM
@YaakovEllis B edits the answer*
 
no. not your typo. an actual thing missing
 
@YaakovEllis and B comments under the answer ? 🤞
 
no. another action from A, after this whole sequence, in order for A to earn the hat
 
@YaakovEllis Last guess for today: A accepts the answer?
 
correct. that's it. confirmed
 
9:03 AM
Inner peace 😌
 
Congrats
 
@Wolgwang that's so much
I may need to be happy just by top 3 then
 
9:29 AM
Helping heart trigger is most complex :-/
Dec 21 '21 at 2:01, by Slate
To be honest I would guess Helping Heart is the most complex WB hat trigger we've ever had. But that's only because it grossly outpaces everything else this year. It requires at least two people to obtain - and most commonly I'd expect three, four, or even possibly five participants.
 
I got Quadalogue
356 hats
36 I mean
@YaakovEllis E-picture?
Tell me I'd I am on the right track
6 hat lead now
Relieved
What's the hint for Cleanup then @YaakovEllis
 
@U12-Forward 🥲 boooooo
 
lol
Got New moon and Quadalogue
 
9:45 AM
@U12-Forward If yes, what will be the trigger(guess ofc)?
 
Maybe edit a picture in a post
 
Nah I have seen some questions (of users having that hat) without any edits/answer.
 
True
This question gave the user a hat
@YaakovEllis Have a specific keyword in your question?
 
@U12-Forward Don't ping-bomb Yaakov! XD
 
haha
 
9:57 AM
@Wolgwang agreed. And I am not giving any more hints for e-pic
 
Ok. Sorry
 
@YaakovEllis Spotting scope: 10 successful janitor's work action(Flag,CV,DV) ?
 
@Wolgwang close
 
"Close" gives me goosebumps .
 
10:12 AM
@YaakovEllis and RVs?
 
 
2 hours later…
12:06 PM
I GOT CLOCKWORK!
37 hats
 
@U12-Forward congrats. Which hats are you lacking?
 
I lack Tenacious, E-pic and Cleanup
only lack 1 non-secret hat...
 
helping heart?
 
Also helping heart, yeah. My try for Tenacious is here
 
I thought e-pic has something to do with profile pic, but nothing happened when I changed or remove mine.
 
12:32 PM
My small brain is unable to parse this hint:

Hint for E-pic. The name of the hat should really point you in the direction of what you should be looking for (or maybe what you should not be looking for)
 
Maybe -pic means "not related to pic"
 
Hmmmmm
picnic lol
Or just simply means Epic
 
1:09 PM
 
No Eliza Dootlots this year...
Sad
 
Is there a sandbox.SE ?
 
1:26 PM
huh
 
@U12-Forward I think the same after looking at some users' questions here :-/
 
What is your current guess?
 
@U12-Forward Ah, that explains why you've been self-answering on Code Golf, I was wondering about that
 
Lol yeah, want hats
 
1:43 PM
@U12-Forward One should test by posting verbatim copy coughs,coughs
 
Lol maybe
 
2:02 PM
Has anyone noticed that there are so fewer users with E-pic on SO?
> Too many requests. Wait 50 seconds before requesting this resource again.
@YaakovEllis How many requests can I make on https://winterbash2021.stackexchange.com/ ?
 
2:24 PM
@Wolgwang Fewer than you have been making
(I have no idea)
 
 
1 hour later…
3:46 PM
@YaakovEllis E-Pic: Using certain markdowns like table in questions ?
 
4:15 PM
I'm pretty sure I got E-pic from this question
 
 
1 hour later…
5:18 PM
@Wolgwang yes, /rooms/1

Hi
 
11:02 PM
What do me, Arnauld and lyxal have in common? Cause that's where to look for the E-pic trigger
 
Hey wait since when do I have it?
 
@lyxal ah, thank you @lyxal that's interesting, esp. since you have E-pic too
 
@lyxal I believe you were the first CGCC user to get it
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing that's even more baffling then.
I don't remember how I got it
I don't even remember what day it was when I got it
 
lyxal has dementia :(
 
11:05 PM
SE probably just hands them out manually
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Did all of you get a lot of upvotes on some answers or something?
 
I can confirm that it isn't to do with recapping
Because I haven't repcapped since probably April last year
 
Perhaps the "pic" part is a clue?
 
I would say it could be to do with changing your pfp
But then Arnauld hasn't changed
It was the third hat I got here too
In the first few days of summer bash
 
@user Maybe hand out a lot of upvotes? I upvote any answer to my challenges
 
11:11 PM
And it isn't to do with equipping hats either
 
Yeah, I haven't even engaged with the hats this year, aside from getting them
 
So maybe it is handing out a lot of upvotes
Because I vote cap basically daily
Which would explain how I got it so quickly
And monologue was the next hat I got after e-pic
 
@lyxal did you post a link to any of your questions anywhere recently?
@caird did you?
 
I didn't, but the new posts bot did
Oh actually I did link some of the Aocg with my user id attached
 
I linked to an SO post, but got the hat on CGCC
 
11:24 PM
Yaakov talks says you need to "think a bit out of the box", and I'm wondering if the "box" is SE.
 
The only question I posted that could have triggered the hat condition was codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/239721/…
It's got a few links outside of the network
And also that's where I got monologue from
@richardec no, it seems to be contained within SE
Assuming it comes from something question based, Arnauld hasn't linked to anything in the last 2 questions they posted
Hey wait when did summer bash start?
 
I would absolutely love if they had a hat which was just awarded completely at random. Like, every so often, it chooses a few random users across the network and give it to them
@lyxal 15th IIRC
 
right, at noon UTC
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing then that limits it to three days I could have got it
Four if I can count.
 
Weeeeeiiird. So three highly-active CG users have E-pic. and you all have posted questions since Dec 15.
 
11:34 PM
Is there any way to check specifically when you got a hat?
 
Perhaps somewhere on winterbash2021.stackexchange.com @lyxal
 
@lyxal No
Or, not for us mortals. SE staff have the ability to look it up in some database

hmm yes very helpful
especially given that I didn't post any pictures on the 18th
 
is it talking about the Epic badge?
 
e-pic hat
@pxeger it can't
because I haven't repcapped
 
11:42 PM
did any of you modify your profile pics at all, like remove them, or change them, even just for a second?
 
I have, but not during the time period i could have gotten it
 
Yes, but well before I got it
 
ninja'd!
 
And Arnauld hasn't
 
"recently" as in post Dec 15
 
11:44 PM
the time window i could have gotten it is between dec 15 and dec 18
and i didn't change it during that time
the one you see now was only a few days ago
I think it might be voting related
 
I believe I changed mine in preparation for Winter Bash starting
Is it worth moving this convo to the Wither Bash room?
 
@lyxal but then why hasn't anyone else got it? I'm sure caird, arnuald and I aren't the only ones who upvote every single answer to our questions.
 
maybe changing email addrs?
 
@richardec I haven't updated my email since I got my duck email address a few months ago
 
11:47 PM
The only thing the four of us have in common is that we've all posted multiple challenges
 
but that theory goes out the window when you consider the fact that I got it after asking 1 question
 
And that at least one of those challenges (each) was posted near midnight UTC
But then why doesn't Bubbler have it, if that's the trigger?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Maybe
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing exactly.
and pxeger too
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Bubbler just steals other people's hats :P
 
11:49 PM
 
Maybe have an answer that outscores the question?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing yes, I'm very sorry for hijacking this room ;)
 
smth to do with the literal letter E? doubt it but
 
@hyper-neutrino if that's the case SE needs to stop tracking my non-listed socials
 
83 messages moved from The Nineteenth Byte
 
11:51 PM
83 messages wow
 
I probably should've suggested moving earlier :P
 
we do a little talking
 
It isn't voting for sure
Dejay never voted.
I mean really... E-pic is so strange
Maybe question character length?
 
I was thinking maybe it's when you have more votes on a question than all answers, but then more people on CG would have gotten it
 
@lyxal Lukas Rotter earned it on puzzling without an answer to his question.
