@Bart glad to see you wearing a hat , I thought you were maybe a scrooge

3:08 PM

@Sompuperoo the other hats didn't fit with glasses

@PatrickHofman dropped below -3

But still +3. That -7 won't hurt.

@Unihedro inb4 evil high-rep chat users rudely downvoted my answer, being the abusing abusers that they are

@PatrickHofman Well I striked to increase the penalty of getting downvoted, it got severely mob-raged, so there you go

@Unihedro This is dope.

Hm, could it be that I need a upvote on my question to get a "Selfie" hat?

(Seems like a good way to prevent horrible self-answered questions)

3:29 PM

@Cerbrus you need to "self-answer" it using a sock-puppet account which is subsequently discovered, merged with your original one, after which you're suspended for a year.

@ArieLitovsky great, I took proper actions now ;)

@Bart: That sounds like something that can't possibly backfire

Also, thanks, random upvoter :-)

Thanks random upvoter yesterday who ruined my chances of a naruto hat :D

Ah, both "Selfie" and "On the road" require the question to have a score that's greater than 0.

Oh I see!

3:32 PM

Can't we have automatically assigned hats? I that way, everyone is happy: the hat hunters, and the regular users getting tired of all those stars, etc. :)

@ShadowWizard I think Red Baron is harder to earn.

@TheGuywithTheElfHat but at least the requirements are clear.... Naruto requirements are untrue, to say the least. Something is missing.

@ShadowWizard since only a few can get it

Q: Naruto & Selfie Hats

I have some doubts how earn these hats. Selfie ask and answer your own question I do a Selfie yesterday, but nothing happen (yet). I earned this Hat right now. I guess that this post wakeup some process. As @ShadowWizard said You got Selfie due to the upvote on the question. :)...

@TheGuywithTheElfHat ^

@SPArchaeologist not talking about how rare... maybe should said "the hat with most obscure/misleading description" :)

Red baron?

Ah yes

so there was no hat for a rollback?

@bluefeet Well, not 3rd worst. I'm just not bothering to name all the bad mods.

Not all that serious.

I'd leave it.

I was thinking. Laura had to point that bash 2014 had 10 secret hat

and that while replying to a question asking how many hats 2014 has

are we sure that 8 is the right number?

dunno, maybe we missed the zero index for both arrays of regular and secret hats

4:44 PM

30 common hats is correct, but the 8 secret ones seems strange

odd number to have

was it 10 it would fill last two rows

Then... go find the hat? :)

but 8 just seem missing something
