Tavern on the Meta

@hichris123 I don't know how SE team handles it this year. I got Eureka after discussing Chameleon in Math chat. But now there is a thread on Meta about secret hats, which is a confusing factor.

Shokhet

@Behaviour Ah. Chameleon is the one I think I figured out...

Q: Spoiler alert: I think I guessed what Chameleon is for

I think I guessed what the Chameleon hat is for. I guessed this when I noticed that My suspicion was confirmed when I did the same thing, and promptly received the hat. Am I right?

^^^^ Spoiler tags in oneboxed questions are awkward.

@gnat Thanks for the bounty! :)

I'd have thought that I would be notified automatically when a bounty is offered on my own question, but apparently not.......

Is someone here who is active on SF? Can you have a look at this should it go on SU instead? It is not for SO for sure.

ɥʇǝS

> (Re-Posting from Serverfault as they don't seem to like the question over there and don't bother to explain why.)

definitely not SF.

Shokhet

@rene Did you mean "SU"?

SF = Scifi; SU = Superuser

rene

serverfault?

ɥʇǝS

@Shokhet SF = Server Fault usually.

Shokhet

8:20 PM

@ɥʇǝS Oh; got it.

rene

@ɥʇǝS but SU would fit?

Shokhet

@ɥʇǝS I saw that quote and figured if so, then probably not....SU was the only other thing that came to mind

rene

@ɥʇǝS And what is the rationale behind doesn't belong on SF

Shokhet

To clarify: I'm not sure that it belongs on SU.....that's just the only other site that I could think of

ɥʇǝS

@rene SF rejected it, SF doesn't want it.

8:21 PM

@rene Server Fault is for 'professional' questions. This looks like a home setup

rene

Ah, that make sense

ɥʇǝS

I would never send someone to SF, if I could help it.

Rarely anything good comes of it.

rene

lol

Shokhet

@ɥʇǝS Although.....the question hasn't been closed over there (SF), just has one DV

And SF does have a racoon tag....

Hobo Sapiens

I'm all out of closevotes, too :(

Shokhet

8:23 PM

Though someone should tell this user something about cross-posting.

rene

@Shokhet He better asked on meta-SF or MSO where his post should go

Shokhet

@rene That's a fair point.

@vba4all If you're around can you have a look here if there is something I missed in explaining/asking?

Shokhet

Is there a way to wear multiple hats, or is it one at a time?

gunr2171

one at a time

13 hours ago, by DroidDev

feature-request We should be able to wear multiple hats.

Shokhet

aaaaaw.....I think Spock would look cool with the werewolf hunter crossbow....oh well

gunr2171

yeah, i agree that we should have at least one "hat" and one "shirt" on at a time

Shokhet

9:21 PM

I think three is a nice number -- hat, hair, and shirt....I would probably only use two, though.

Shokhet

@Oded Which one are you wearing? ....I can't tell

Oded

Boats!

'tis the HairBoat

Shokhet

9:34 PM

@Oded Cute! What's it for.....or is it a secret?

Oded

Secret boat is secret

Shokhet

Ah.

Apparently, no one's figured it out yet:

A: Winter Bash 2014 Secret Hats

This guy has a HairBoat! How?... No idea... (By being an uber-mod?) If we can believe the rumors that there are 8 secret hats, then maybe this is the last one not mentioned yet? (I for one don't believe in such rumors.)

gunr2171

maybe it's answer a question in row?

Shokhet

Apparently, you, @Oded, are the "this guy" in that answer ;-)

Is there something wrong with my question here stackoverflow.com/q/27474351/554807 or did a couple of folk just loose their keys?

ɥʇǝS

Hairboat is the last secret!

Oded

9:37 PM

Sooo happy I came up with it :)

Shokhet

That's not fair! ......you probably got it on purpose! :P

gunr2171

@GreenAsJade 0/-2, no close votes. only thing I can say is, other than the title, there is no question mark

ɥʇǝS

I'm still sad there wasn't a mad hatter hat :(

gunr2171

though I wouldn't agree to -2

Shokhet

@ɥʇǝS Maybe as a secret hat?

GreenAsJade

9:39 PM

heh - thx OK. shrug ... 'people' Maybe they were going for the crab ...

ɥʇǝS

pretty sure all of those have been found :(

gunr2171

@GreenAsJade maybe, hats make people do strange things

story so far

More - As far as I can see, only Oded has this hat. Looking at his activity, it can be one of these three things : comments, added tags, answers. Its not the added tags, as all of them are mod specific tags. It cannot be comments as many other people here are doing similar comments. Looking at his answers, he has 3 accepted answers, on a negative voted question, duplicated question, highly voted question. With both high votes answer and low votes answer. After searching for a while, I found many users falling into all such scenarios without the hat. So I am at dead end now. — Optimizer 4 mins ago

although , it seems that i am wrong at the "only oded has this hat" part

Shokhet

@Optimizer Hm.....good luck!

@Optimizer Where's your hat? I don't see you wearing any!

Optimizer

9:42 PM

dunno why its not shown here

@Shog9 Hmm, interesting -- lifehacks.stackexchange.com/help/badges/31/…

Jan Dvorak

Oh. I was wondering what it was

hichris123

btw @Shog9 I totally guessed a secret hat's trigger. May I have a hat now? And a meta hat for guessing the trigger for that hat? ;)

bjb568

@hichris123 noh

hichris123

@bjb568 Oh, now you're Shog, eh? ;P

Shog9

@hichris123 what, you think there's a hat that gets awarded for guessing that hats can be manually awarded?

That'd be a bit... silly, wouldn't it?

Especially since that's been documented for like 2 years now.

hichris123

10:36 PM

@Shog9 Well, I guessed the trigger for a secret hat... right?

bjb568

@hichris123 Uh… yeah! Totally!

Lynn Crumbling

@JanDvorak I didn't think anything... — yaou 12 mins ago

Shog9

@hichris123 If I confirmed or denied that, it wouldn't be much of a secret.

@Shog9 You're a talking head wearing a hat and somehow holding a crossbow. I think we've crossed that line. :P

Shog9

No, not yet

@Shog9 Confirming could be in the form of ahem a hat ahem.

Shog9

but what would that confirm, exactly?

- That there's a hat that can be awarded on a whim?

- That you correctly guessed something?

- That you incorrectly guessed something but I like to mess with people?

hichris123

E) All of the above

bjb568

D) All of the above

Tim Stone

You should give someone else the hat just to mess with @hichris123.

hichris123

I can't imagine you as a defense attorney. "My client is not guil... sorry, he actually stole the hats. Give him life in prison!"

Mysticial

@hichris123 I don't think it's that simple. I figured out Timelord (and pinged Shog) before it got posted on meta. But I didn't get Eureka. That said, I didn't get the requirements for Timelord exactly correct, I said "retag" instead of "edit".

Martijn Pieters

@Oded: just a yes or no will do; has the last hat anything to do with Bosun? On the podcast I heard that there was a another choice for the name that didn't make it..

hichris123

@Mysticial Hmm well the other option is @Shog9 is just trolling us all. Which is always a possibility. I mean, he's a floating head!
