8:19 AM
Morning
It was a pretty busy period - sorry for not comming before.
 
8:31 AM
@ShadowWizard As you may have noticed, I had a little busy time in the last weeks, so I didn't really follow the hat hunt lately.
 
@Derpy sure, I know. Just wanted to share it here. Welcome back! :)
 
@ShadowWizard btw, seem that the swag contest didn't had the amount of competitors they were expecting. Am I mistaken or in the end everyone won?
 
9:12 AM
@ShadowWizard saw that now. Doesn't seem something actually "guessable"
 
@Derpy yeah, it says "I will be contacting those who participated for shipping details and item verification within the week" so it likely means everyone. You should also get an email soon. :)
 
I expect it in about 6-8. Months.
 
@Derpy actually, the "knight" is to blame, caused everyone to think of Game of Thrones, or Final Fantasy etc, while the Onion was the only vital part, leading to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing
In there, is says:
> Onion routing is a technique for anonymous communication over a computer network
Now this would have led many to understand what's required. :)
@Derpy nah, I won a T-shirt once, it took about a month to arrive after I gave my address.
 
@ShadowWizard You may remember that my first guess was about anonymity, and to be more specific "Tor" - which symbol is an onion. We made a quick test to check if that was related to "connect to Stack using Tor browser" but failed.
Since the name was exactly the same as the Final Fantasy class, a class that has an onion shaped hat....
we moved to that.
 
@Derpy right! Well, too bad we abandoned that path...
But amazing that only ~150 questions got three or more anonymous upvotes, I was sure there are many more.
 
9:19 AM
@ShadowWizard It is like making a red hat, calling it "the Mustache Bros" and then telling us that it was a reference to Punyon growing some mustaches to replace the beard...
 
@Derpy yup. no doubt it was misleading.
 
@ShadowWizard Actually, I am more concerned about the mail. The delivery time isn't my priority - assuming it doesn't get stolen by our postal service.
I hate our postal service.
 
@Derpy lol, same here - but we got only one. :/
 
9:35 AM
@ShadowWizard I am tempted to ask if I can choose the "Sword of Ultimate Sorcery" as the prize, but I doubt anyone would get that.
 
9:52 AM
@Derpy feel free to ask.... worst case you'll get a T-shirt. :)
 
10:04 AM
@ShadowWizard I think that sword may be a tad too pricey. Assuming it ever existed.
 
 
4 hours later…
1:43 PM
@b_jonas the background is pretty common. It seem to be the one they use whenever they need a main "plaza" with multiple windows around it. Seem like the one used when the ponies are hanging the icicles on the trees during the s5 Tank episode, or the one used during the Return of Harmony part two when Discord uses black pepper on a pony to make her sneeze. It is pretty common. I think it is assembled.
 
2:02 PM
2014 - remove Eureka - meta.stackexchange.com/questions/246825/… Ignored
We will see.
 
2:41 PM
Hi, Derpy. And happy new year.
 
@Derpy I think this time it's for real, but it won't matter a lot, people will still try to guess everywhere. :)
 
@b_jonas Happy new year too. Sorry for not begin able to come before.
