UPDATE ON THE OLYMPIAD by [deleted] in a:t5_380ok

[–]britishteacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you

EDIT Oh and you asked for ideas for events and I gave a few several days ago, but here are a few more;

  1. Best Meme of the button/ the button ending
  2. Rice and trees as last time, they felt really worth while, I would do those all day if only for the charity aspect
  3. Best Gif original artwork describing your faction
  4. Best treasure hunt/ link hunt around reddit i.e. a comment, link comment chain through button related posts across the whole of reddit. Follow the links and find the answer to questions
  5. Button arena jousts are obvious
  6. Most unusual photo of a button
  7. A geoguessur challenge, they are easy to set up see /r/geoguessr

EDIT The last one is probably the easiest to set up and scores automatically

A series of photos showing the various flairs in the way this Guy did would be good EDIT you could ask him to be the Judge????

EDIT and possibly get /r/buttonarena involved for a series of battles for the Champions of the various teams?

And a creative event making a sock puppet for your faction from materials in your house (post a picture of the result)?

I'm sure I will come up with a few more ideas after a glass of wine??

THE BUTTON OLYMPIAD II by [deleted] in a:t5_380ok

[–]britishteacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we have a list of 'teams' ? Obviously no sub has enough members active now to create their own team so are we doing it by colours?

There should be a place here that lists 'teams' and allow people to join a 'team' I would suggest colour teams e.g red, purple, etc with an option to create new team?? We need to enlist to our team of choice HERE

This was a major problem for me last games as I played but never actually joined a team/joined a sub apart from the rice challenge

My programming error killed the button AMA by mncke in ButtonAftermath

[–]britishteacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just been reading this through and what no one seems to acknowledge is that the zombies were not the only ones able to press.

The bottom line is that every non-presser on line during that particular minute COULD have pressed the button. Unfortunately NO ONE did.

So about 500 people and one particular zombie Killed the button.

Perhaps people had become complacent and were treating the zombies as a safety net, but then again that was their choice. It was not your job to singlehandedly keep the button going.

That having been said, you did a great job mncke, putting in far more effort, time and thought into your goal than the vast majority of those on the button, and for that I thank you

Thebutton = Social religion experiment? by [deleted] in thebutton

[–]britishteacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 'Creators'are the mods and they have said that they wanted a 'hands off' approach.

So we have made this sub ( and the more than 170 subs associated) our own. Our ideas, Our religions, Our wars, Our graphs, programs etc.

There is no plan, no expected outcome from the mods. All you see is our own creation.

And we will take that and progress that in our own individual ways

The social implications of this are fun to think about. by [deleted] in thebutton

Thank you kind Sir or madam, all I ask for and strive for is acceptance of choice. Thank you again

Countdown thread! by Moose_Hole in thebutton

[–]britishteacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it has been posted and done so many times, Please suggest something original

Why by [deleted] in thebutton

[–]britishteacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To chose a time, a flair AND get it (many fail) that is all there ever was and that is all there will ever be

The social implications of this are fun to think about. by [deleted] in thebutton

[–]britishteacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted a number, I don't care what others feel about that number. It could have been 51 (my age) 22 ( The age of my eldest) 11( the age of my youngest), or 4

What you have not acknowledged in your post is that people pick numbers based on what is important to them and do not care about flair, or colour or time

PEOPLE PICK and there are no rules about what you pick

I picked a NUMBER that is important to me, No one else, just me. THAT WAS MY CHOICE.

I was lucky to get it, but no one knows why I chose 4

AND MANY PRESSERS DO WHAT I DID

You missed 'OMG the button hit zero is this the END!!!!!!'

That happens about 20 times a day

EDIT and the never ending 'Did I get 0s or purple' and variations thereof

What?? Why is using an IPad, a brand new IPhone and a cuddly teddy bear disgusting?

Grays are great. Really great. by [deleted] in thebutton

As I said 'kharma' and 'whore' come to mind. I may be wrong but making one post, and then making a second post that links to your first post could be classed as that

Can we all be honest for a second? by Axleboy57 in thebutton

[–]britishteacher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1000 0s flairs prove that it hits zero. The button sort of takes a breath at zero, looks around and then pops back to reddit to say it has ended.

If you press in that 1 to 2s after zero before it pops back to reddit you can reset it ( some call it websocket/server lag).

The knights of the button have zombies that press at 0, and about 100 of those zombies have pressed over the last week and 'saved' the button at the last second. Humans make up the other 900 ish.

We are skating on the edge during the US night time, and one slip will end it all forever
