The distribution section is getting quite long, to prevent it from getting too long I think we should either put it in a table or simply get rid of it in favour of "Kritzkast often hosts competitions with the reward being a Lo-Fi" and simply not listing every single event that ever happened. I think the first option is the best.<br>[[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) 11:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

== Lo-Fi Painted Variants ==
 
 
 
I noticed that some one removed the painted variants section because for the reason of "hat is not paintable according to the schema and the game itself". The games item test says otherwise.

Still think the hat isn't paintable? [[File:User_M-NINJA_Signature.png|link=User:M-NINJA]] 22:25, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 
:You have paint hat, because it's white. Base color of '''ALL''' paintable hat is white. You can change color by editing VMT file. I can paint Cheater's Lament with VMT files, but this hat still unpaintable. But tower isn't painted on your screen. It seems, hat will be paintable at the nearest time. - '''[[User:Aperture AI|<span style="color:#694D3A">Grand-O-Rand</span>]]''' [[File:Painted Détective Noir 694D3A.png|25px|link=User:Aperture AI]]{{md}}'''(''[[User talk:Aperture AI|Talk]]'')''' 22:32, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

According to Kritzkast episode 121, to obtain the hat one must meet these requirements-- Complete the Kritzkast Lore Quiz and be a member of the Kritzkast group prior to June 12 15 minutes prior to the podcast going live.

:::Calling it a bug implies that is an actual, unintended error on the part of Valve.

Distribution list

The distribution section is getting quite long, to prevent it from getting too long I think we should either put it in a table or simply get rid of it in favour of "Kritzkast often hosts competitions with the reward being a Lo-Fi" and simply not listing every single event that ever happened. I think the first option is the best.
