The Reds have failed you all, fellow Button Enjoyers, and for that I apologize. (lemmy.world)

The Reds were meant to be the last stronghold to keep The Button alive. Dozens of us held off our push in the name of longevity.

But it lasted less than a meager 24 hours.. we have failed, and for that, my comrades, I am sorry.

The Button Season 2 Thoughts (lemmy.zip)

Almost have a working setup for a season 2 of The Button.

I am thinking 3 presses each, with an hour minimum between each press? Should give plenty of life to the game.

Also curious as to when the community would like to see it run again. I'm mindful it was originally an April Fools thing so I can run it again in a few hours so that everyone can get a go today. Or I can wait a couple of weeks so people don't feel to burned out on it?

If there is a season 3 though, that will probably be a couple of months away to give people a chance to miss playing it!
