JimmyK4542

00:01

lol, so many stars

3

Wrzlprmft

@Sompuperoo I wondered about this anyway: As times are blurry for hats, if one hour ago, I deleted a comment I am making in an hour, does this count towards the resolution hat?

AstroCB

I'm amazed that I haven't run out of stars yet.

nicael

OH no 2015 ALREADY!!!!!

bjb568

I love the tavern! Thank you guys and girls n whatever fer a great year!

So, can I get a hat here too?

William Price

Did I miss mistletoe yet?

AstroCB

@WilliamPrice Nope.

bluefeet

00:02

3

PearsonArtPhoto

Seriously...

Sompuperoo

@Wrzlprmft you already deleted a comment that you won't make for another hour? hmm, don't think they programmed for time travel

Scimonster

Whoever didn't have Sumo Judge yet probably got one now.

anorton

If anyone does NOT have a hat, post now.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

YAY!

Sompuperoo

@markbooth , where is @markbooth?

hichris123

Has anyone gotten their hat yet?

bjb568

Sushi is yummy!

rene

Is @balpha handing out the hats manually or did we break chat?

4

anorton

00:03

Some people in Math.SE have.

Braiam

moves on with life

user259867

@Braiam not before deleting 10 comments!

bjb568

My hat arrived!

Braiam

@rene or you know... caching

William Price

There's not a lot of point in the script running until after 00:05 UTC

Doorknob 冰

00:04

@hichris123 I did

Unihedro

@hichris123 I haven't

Braiam

@Behaviour DAMMIT!

AstroCB

@hichris123 I've gotten Mistletoe and Tam o' Shanter.

bluefeet

@hichris123 I did

Shokhet

Hello @Scimonster :)

PearsonArtPhoto

00:04

I've got one mistletoe.

rene

@Braiam I rather blame balpha

S.L. Barth

@hichris123 I have.

hichris123

It's full of pink & pings!

Sompuperoo

I've got mistletoe too! yay!

2

Wrzlprmft

@Sompuperoo So, would this at least give me a Time Lord hat?

2

AstroCB

00:04

The Tavern, where we give out hats until we run out of our daily stars.

William Price

@AstroCB There's a limit?

I never knew there was a limit...

anorton

I don't have mistletoe yet... :(

AstroCB

@PearsonArtPhoto You'll find out soon.

Shokhet

00:05

@SmokeDetector Here, have a hat :)

anorton

...and I still have some stars left!

Shokhet

I didn't get my hat yet!!

anorton

Now to go delete 10 old comments.

4

Unihedro

00:07

like Fox :/ - oh well

Braiam

as long as you posted the message in the range, you get the hat

Scimonster

@Shokhet Me neither for MSE.

AstroCB

One of my neighbors is setting off fireworks now even though our local midnight isn't for another 5 hours; they must be a Stack Exchange fan.

9

Shokhet

@Scimonster I didn't get it for either

Braiam

@AstroCB HA!

hichris123

00:08

Hah I already got an upvote this year!

bjb568

@AstroCB Or any other site based on UTC!

Shokhet

@Scimonster Got mine for MSE, but not for Bam

AstroCB

@bjb568 I'd prefer to assume it's SE.

Wrzlprmft

@Shokhet It was a starry night here, all the smoke from the fireworks polluted the sky … On SE, we get noise and stars in one go.

Shokhet

@Wrzlprmft :)

AstroCB

00:10

...and there's the daily limit.

Shokhet

How do you wear the Mistletoe hat? ....how does it look as a bow tie?

@Scimonster

user259867

@Shokhet My avatar was preparing to tie that tie for a month!

gunr2171

@Shokhet on your face

Scimonster

@Shokhet f5 to see!

Shokhet

@Scimonster I see. Looks good!

Scimonster

00:12

@Shokhet thanks :)

Shokhet

@Scimonster Now go to sleep!

;-)

Wrzlprmft

Ah, Sumo Judge, Tam o’Shanter and Mistletoe for five minutes of madness. What am I going to wear?

bjb568

Let's celebrate with upvotes now!

anorton

@bjb568 First round is on me. :P

Shokhet

I got my hatz. Thank you all! :)

Frank

00:16

@Sompuperoo eh? Oh nice, was taking a shower

Shokhet

@Frank It appears that you missed your shot at the Mistletoe hat

Frank

I know.

:(

Shokhet

Plenty of other hats, though -- delete ten comments now!

gunr2171

can they be your own?

Shokhet

@gunr2171 I hope so -- I can't delete any other comments than my own

Doorknob 冰

00:18

@gunr2171 There's no other way to delete a comment... (unless you're a mod, which you're not)

nicael

@bjb568 upvotes?! BOUNITIES!!!! Who wants one? :D

gunr2171

you could flag a comment

i don't know if that counts though

if it is then deleted

Doorknob 冰

That doesn't delete it though

Shokhet

@gunr2171 But you get "helpful" for that, not "deleted"

@Doorknob冰 Jinx!

gunr2171

ah, ok

bjb568

00:19

@nicael EVERYONE!

Doorknob 冰

Ah. No, then it's the mod who handled the flag who actually deleted the comment

Sompuperoo

@Doorknob冰 what about 1-nukes?

Scimonster

I think i saw in a post by Shog or someone that flagged comments do count

Doorknob 冰

meh

Sompuperoo

testing 1-nuke theory, let you know the results..

user259867

00:19

@Doorknob冰 If someone flag-nukes "accept rate" comment, doesn't it say "deleted by ... user"?

Shokhet

/ me: scrolling through 86 pages of comments on my main site, trying to find obsolete ones to delete

user259867

So, the resolution hat is a pun; it's low-resolution.

hichris123

@Behaviour yeah

Wrzlprmft

@Shokhet Yes, if they are flagged sufficiently often.

Shokhet

@Wrzlprmft That aren't your own, by non-mods?

nicael

00:21

@bjb568 I don't know such a person... Oh wait, did you mean this uset? Not possible. It requires an answer...

Wrzlprmft

How the hell did I just do that? Where is my Time Lord hat?

Shokhet

@Wrzlprmft I didn't know you could respond to future comments! ..... are you a Timelord?

anorton

:2852878 Watch this.

Shokhet

@anorton like this?

anorton

Hm. It didn't update.

nicael

00:24

@Uni Do you want to get +500 in a few seconds?

Unihedro

@nicael ?? Oh?

Shokhet

@anorton I think you edit the question, and click on the squiggly arrow of a future message while in the edit thingy

but I haven't tried it

bjb568

@nicael just bounty me then! :P

Shokhet

@anorton It works!

nicael

@Unihedro It is your choice. If yes, you get 500 reps immediatly on MSE and have full editing privs...

Unihedro

00:25

Yes! (How does it work?)

nicael

That'd be a present :)

Scimonster

I also wouldn't object to a +500....

Unihedro

:D

Shokhet

@Scimonster Same.

I thought I told you to go to sleep, @Scimonster..... :P

AstroCB

@Shokhet Oh, did you?

Shokhet

00:27

@AstroCB I figured that out, thanks :)

Scimonster

@Shokhet You did. I have no reason to listen to some random internet user dictating my sleep patterns. :P

nicael

Wait, sleeping already? And how about presents? :(

Shokhet

@Scimonster :)

@nicael If it's 2:30 am.....sleeping already, yes :)

15 mins ago, by Shokhet

@Scimonster Now go to sleep!

anorton

I should be wearing a resolution hat pretty soon! :D

nicael

So who gets 500 reps: @Shokhet, @Unihedro or @Scimonster? Plz decide.

anorton

00:29

(stupid caching.)

Unihedro

For the random poll, star this message to vote for Unihedro.

5

anorton

@nicael Me! :)

Shokhet

@Unihedro Star this message for Shokhet

5

Scimonster

Star to vote Sci

5

Doorknob 冰

Do I get to participate? :P

Shokhet

00:30

@Doorknob冰 You have enough repz :P

Wrzlprmft

I wonder whether responding to future comments is worth a bug report or whether we should just abuse this feature to irritate some users by holding conversations backwards in time.

nicael

Ok.

anorton

@Wrzlprmft This is certainly more fun to leave as-is than to report bugs.

Holy crap, poll failed! What the hell each message has 3 stars?!

hichris123

I wonder why... :P

Shokhet

@nicael :)

Doorknob 冰

@nicael 4*

anorton

Um... I think you're about to lose 1.5k

2

AstroCB

@Wrzlprmft I'd star that if I had any left.

Shokhet

00:33

@Doorknob冰 5, now

Unihedro

How about

We play a tiny chess tournament and the winner takes the 500 repz?

anorton

you could base it off of their number of hats, or some other totally arbitrary metric

nicael

@anorton Those reps doesn't matter, but I said immediatly. What does it mean?

user259867

@Unihedro Rock / paper / scissors would be faster.

Scimonster

@anorton I currently have the most network hats, i think.

Unihedro

00:35

@Behaviour Rock / paper / scissors in chat sounds undoable. I could script a response bot like in five seconds.

@Scimonster You have 29, I have 28 :p

Scimonster

Yup, 28, 28, 29.

user259867

That's the point. Everyone writes their RPS bots. The best bot wins.

Unihedro

Wait, are we 3 all programmers?

Wrzlprmft

@Unihedro Also, time travel makes things complicated.

Braiam

> asked Sep 12 '14 at 11:17

Scimonster

00:36

@Unihedro @Shokhet isn't.

nicael

Guys or girls, decide faster! Am I going to wait the whole night long??!!?!!?!!!

anorton

@Behaviour That sounds like a great PCG question.

Sompuperoo

@nicael it's your decision..

Shokhet

@Scimonster That's correct. .....though that's not to say that I won't ever learn....

user259867

@nicael Math.floor(3*Math.random())

Doorknob 冰

00:37

['sci', 'shokhet', 'unihedro'][Math.random()*3|0]

@Behaviour What's Math.rand()? :P

Sompuperoo

@nicael flip a coin, if heads it's @sho, tails @sci, if neither @uni

4

Unihedro

@Sompuperoo .. Hey.

How about we seed a random number generator with the word "mistletoe"?

Scimonster

How about i get someone to come in and star mine and @Shokhet's?

Shokhet

@Scimonster Good idea!

Unihedro

@Scimonster ... Don't make me summon my bots :|

Braiam

00:39

@Sompuperoo you summoned the one that-shall-not-be-named

anorton

gasp

Sompuperoo

eek..

nicael

@Sompuperoo And what if my coin doesn't want to be flipped...

Braiam

@nicael that's obviously caching issues

Unihedro

I know!

We should use NotDoorknob to run a script that picks between any of us in random!

Doorknob 冰

00:42

alright, I'm on it

Unihedro

@Doorknob Is your botling accepting this task?

nicael

Ok so who (@Shok @Uni @Sci) will give me a larger present if I would give those 500 reps?

Scimonster

@nicael I'll give you an upvote! Or more!

Shokhet

@nicael hm......2 answer upvotes!

William Price

@nicael Is this a gift, or a hustle?

Unihedro

00:43

@nicael I will publish a chat client for talking thru SE chat with awesome features.

anorton

Just why does Resolution hat look so much like The Megaman?

Doorknob 冰

wow, three scis in a row

user259867

@Shokhet No, past tense would be "pang". Ping, pang, pung. (But in the context, "gets pung" is correct).

Shokhet
