    Drunken F00l, the inventor of the idle program gave us the "hat-algorithm"
    Wich means that if you play 1 hour each day you have about a 63% to get one hat a year.

    At least you got one to begin with...
    Then again is this algorithm with or without the new hats. Since the probability of getting a hat changed with the classless update due to the addition of 21 new hats. (Since you can also find the option of having no hat at all for the Sniper, Engi and Scout.)

    The algorithm stayed the same, every 15,430 seconds a 84 sided die is rolled and if it lands on 1 you get a hat. Then the specific hat will be determind with another die.

    I'd say that IF you get a hat. you're chances get reduced with 75% for the next 2 weeks or something. that way more people get A hat and less people with 3 or even 4

    So you want the chance to be reduced to 0.25% to get a hat next week? I thought the 1% chance was low enough.
    How about Valve fixes the trade system so everyone can get the hat they want?

    do you have a hat?
    I do and I love it. so I don't whine for a hat anymore atleast for a while.
    some people have 4 or even 5 hats! that is just plain mean :? give more people A hat and less people mutiple hats. that's what I mean

    No I don't have a hat. But if you give everyone a hat then the rarity of the hat would go to waste. So even though I don't have a hat, I can see why I don't have one yet. But I still rage a bit inside when I see a noob, Lucky Luke, with 3 hats.

    I got my first hat just this saturday, and it was for a class I barely ever play as (Soldier's stash or w/e it's called in English).
    It would be nice if it gave out a hat based on how much playtime each class has

    .... No I don't. Probably because I don't know what imperative means. Anyway, I don't have 4 hats. That was a mistake. I got 5! :p
    I got 2 hats today. I love you too valve :lol:

    With imperative I mean the imperative form of the verb that was described in the picture. And the imperative form if someone orders your to do something. (E.g. "Go to the supermarket.", "Take out the trash." and so on.)

    Also is it just me or does pretty much everyone have the Stainless Pot? I've seen yesterday around 4 people who got that thing. (including Lucky it would be even 5 now.)
    Life's just not fair... But meh... what's the use of all those fancy hats when they don't save you from my Knife? :badgrin:

    From this day on, I swear by my honor, I will hunt down every hatwearer and humiliate him in the worst ways possible. They will have no enjoyment with their hats, since I'm going to ruin it!
    I will become... a hathunter!

    Get it? Get it? Instead headhunter I become a hathunter? Hilarious, isn't it? *gnihihihihi*
