"It will be distributed to those who listen live to the Kritzcast Podcast on Sunday June 12, 2011."

I think it's important that this gets sourced ASAP, since hundreds of people are eyeballing this article. FlotsamX 00:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

I removed it. Not worth getting people hyped. Balladofwindfishes 00:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, when he does find a source, we'll add it. Until then, don't. Balladofwindfishes 00:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Please don't add this fact as it's pure speculation. Same thing happened with the Wiki Cap. --Picard talk 09:40, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

What time is this show being aired? I assume itl be rather late my time. --  Swarfega  T  C  09:37, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Swarfega  T  C  09:43, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Just an fyi, that is 1 day + however many hours, it fooled me into staying up late. :O ~eps 17:25, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
B00bies already has the Lo-fi in vintage form click - Bpc908 00:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Their server is currently down, probably due to everyone mashing F5 trying to get a free hat. It may never air... Katt 19:53, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
They said that if you were in their Steam group before the podcast went live, you have an opportunity. The majority won't be getting anything. Slyphoria 13:50, 12 June 2011 (PDT)
People were trolled harder then anything Valve has done by this. Katt 20:55, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
KritzKast never promised us anything, I'm sure for KK fans this hat is awesome. Everyone else who was expecting something else was just speculating, that's not KK's fault, it's yours. TheCarpe 20:59, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
I didn't realize my internet team-based shooting game's accessorization feature was for little internet cliques. My bad. Katt 21:06, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

SPUF is over here, please use that to discuss the hat itself. --CruelCow (talk) 21:03, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Need more pics

Have anyone taken more pictures so we can show all of the classes using this hat? Cuz it would help this article alot. Stunned.png The Noble Scout (T/C) 09:34, 2011 (UTC)

Not only that put the hat is also paintable, at least thats what the article states. So if we could get these up the page would be look great. I would do them myself but my graphics card is still pretty messed up. User M-NINJA Signature.png 16:41, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Are there guidelines on how these images are normally taken? JakeyBoy 21:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
That depends on what you mean by "these images". For uploading pictures there is a set of literal guidelines that can be found here: click me. Other than that there isn't a real set of guidelines. Just make sure that they all use AA. User M-NINJA Signature.png 22:04, 11 June 2011 (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. s1Q79.png Still think the hat isn't paintable? User M-NINJA Signature.png 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. - Grand-O-Rand Painted Détective Noir 694D3A.png · (Talk) 22:32, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
The why doesn't the same thing happen for the milkman? It's white User M-NINJA Signature.png 22:33, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
That's a valid point. maggosh 23:01, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
The game itself (and the item schema) says it isn't paintable. If the hat were in a backpack, you wouldn't be able to paint it. There are a few other items that can also be painted in itemtest but not in-game. Highlights include Scout's MNC stuff, Planeswalker goggles, and the Hero's Hachimaki. Balladofwindfishes 23:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Someone decided to mark this fact as a bug which it clearly isn't

the KritzKast people got vintage hats, thought I should mention that.

I added this to the main section, should it go in trivia? Herring101 16:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Don't forget to add ~~~~ to the end of your message. About vintage hats: http://www.optf2.com/b00bies , one from 6 admins in KK steam group. Link to the item: http://optf2.com/item/318438978 kreafan 05:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Attainability

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. I confirmed this information by asking b00bies. -- Psychopath User Psychopath avatar.png 21:18, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

According to Agro, the deadline was 7:40pm BST -- Psychopath User Psychopath avatar.png 21:21, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
But how many will be given out? I failed the quiz (thought I got them all, but guess I missed one), so now it's not letting me re-take the quiz for another 24 hours (apparently). Am I pretty much screwed? Can anyone find out the number that will be distributed? Noibn 21:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Again, this is a page for discussing the article. Please use the Steam forums for questions about the quiz and that sort of thing. -- En Ex (talk) 21:32, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
