Talk:Wiki Cap

hat's availability?

I would assume that a future update will allow a user to link his SPUF account his Wiki account and his Steam account so that the Wiki Cap and other special reward items can be given out more easily.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xury46 (talk) • contribs) 00:32, 2 October 2010

If the conditions to get the hat are unknown why is the hats availability set to drop? RpR 08:33, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

That was the default value, it has been fixed now. seb26 [talk] 08:50, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

This is one of the reason why I'm here. My goal is to get this. It won't be easy but hell, worth the try. Rong 14:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm gonna bet it's for Admins/Mods Only :D Blackbird 17:14, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Haven't they all got shiny weapons already? :P There is some discussion about it on Smashman's Talk Page --CruelCow 17:18, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Better question: how are they going to link our edits to our Steam accounts? Fizzix 19:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe they'll email us and request our Steam account info. I'm just guessing, though. ChuckleNuts 20:03, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I assume it would have to be through email, I don't see any other way really. --The Blueberry Villain 20:20, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

• Suffice to say, if you only signed up yesterday and make only a few changes here and there just for the hat, you probably won't get one. It's meant to recognise long-time valuable contributors. That's not to say that anyone who has just signed up can't get one in the future, but for the moment it is likely to be the mods, admins, and a lot of other users and translators who have done a lot for the wiki over the past months. seb26 [talk] 22:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

All us mods and admins do not have community weapons anyway, only some of us who have been here for longer than about a year or so. For example, I do not have one. --Firestorm 03:00, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

The possibilities of the obtaining the hat should be added in trivia (really for some who didn't understood its furuther purpose ^_^)

Can a comment on this discussion page earn me a hat? --P0p-dog 06:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I just checked your backpack and you got one :D! Congrats seb26 [talk] 06:36, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

[insert dramatic victory music] Jestre 07:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

It might be the case. I just hope i can get one of these things. Mr. Hoff 12:43, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I want one too... Pwrkaril 23:31, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

3 Skins

Can anyone confirm whether the hat has 3 skins, a RED, a BLU and a black skin?  – Smashman _(talk) 09:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Red and Blu. You can paint it black if you get black paint, I assume. -- En Ex _(talk) 09:12, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

But... But... Valve... Why? :( It came with the 3 skins for a reason. Why? Black looked so cool. :(  – Smashman _(talk) 09:30, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah...well, if I get that black paint, I'm gonna use it on the Wiki cap and make a black one...maybe. Maybe. I don't know how I'd revert it, though, if I wanted to. -- En Ex _(talk) 09:33, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

And the name is so boring and the description is so sarcastic. Oh they ruined it. :(  – Smashman _(talk) 09:36, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I feel so underappreciated due to that, even with my general laziness. Editing web pages is hard! Sort of. Noizeblaze 17:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

The Wiki hat will have the normal Blue and Red colours. It can be painted and named if the owner of the hat has a Paint Bucket or a Name User: Worieri 21:55, 1 October 2010.

Possible Reason for Not Having Wiki Caps Yet

I was playing around with it in the SDK Model Viewer. It looks like the wiki cap doesn't attach to its designated bone properly. Valve is (hopefully) working on it. -- MistahFixIt 18:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Don't know. It's not positioned to the head attachment, yet the model itself has class-specific animations like the Parasite hat. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 19:14, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Trivia

Not sure if this is important enough to put on the pain page, but has anyone pointed out the large resemblance to M. Bison's hat from Street Fighter? babby 1 October 2010 10:15

May also be worthwhile to note in the trivia section that it is based off the traditional bellboy/hotel porter uniform. Adthegreat 2 October 2010 10:40

I noticed the Bison Resemblance... 18:40, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

What is that on the medic's face in the picture?!

Looks like... Michael 22:04, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Skin? Teeth? One eye? I'm missing something --Firestorm 22:05, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Police cap

It's meant to resemble a Police's hat, because we patrol. Geddit? :D  – Smashman _(talk) 23:37, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Keepers of the peace in the churning insanity that is Team Fortress 2 -- MistahFixIt 23:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

THAT should be the description. Not the silly sarcastic crap it currently is.  – Smashman _(talk) 23:55, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Email Robin. :D -RJ 23:57, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I plan, as soon as humanly able, to rename the wiki cap to something classy and/or witty. So far, the best I've gotten is 'The Recent Change' :P -- MistahFixIt 00:02, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

This makes a lot more sense. -- OluapPlayer _(t) 00:04, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Who said any of you are getting one? :P  – Smashman _(talk) 00:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I said I am getting one... and you said I am getting one too - before I was a mod - when it was still a secret. :)-RJ 00:09, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

He also told me I would get a community weapon, back in JUNE --Firestorm 00:14, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

You will give me you, you know you love me. -- OluapPlayer _(t) 00:15, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok. You are all getting one. But ONLY because your mothers are all RAVISHINGLY sexy.  – Smashman _(talk) 00:29, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Do I get a community weapon too? --Firestorm 00:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll need a can of Noble Hatter's for that cap. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 00:35, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh? Excellent. Comic 00:43, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure Firestorm. I wouldn't bank on it though.  – Smashman _(talk) 00:49, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
