This will get lost at the bottom, but I think it would be really cool once we get into the yellow era to put a quote of what the user posted that revealed their flare. A final words/battle cry of sorts.

u/bensroommate 59s Apr 05 '15
Damn, that's actually a really cool idea. I think we might have to start implementing that!

u/JakiiB non presser Apr 05 '15
YESS!!

u/bensroommate 59s Apr 05 '15
We have decided for now to add the "battle cry" of the first person to gain a new rank. Thanks for the suggestion!
10
u/JakiiB non presser Apr 05 '15
It makes it that much more worthwhile to try and be the first to gain a new rank. We've invented value in the system.

u/bensroommate 59s Apr 05 '15
Which is what the purpose is for The Catalogue in the first place, value.

u/JakiiB non presser Apr 05 '15
Providing arbitrary value to an otherwise pointless process :) Devout non-pressers would absolutely hate what the catalogue stands for.

We only add the first 10 to the doc as a rule, sorry! Congratulations on the green, nonetheless.

u/2daMooon non presser Apr 04 '15
It is laughable how these greens clamour to get recognized when they are no different than any other false prophets. The fact that the filthy 60s or the 59s will have had more time in the limelight will hopefully alert them to their mistakes and convert them into Seekers of The Shade.

How do I find out my number? I know I'm green, but is there a way to tell the exact number?

u/bensroommate 59s Apr 06 '15
If you are on a computer, you can just hover your mouse over your flair and it will display the number. You are 40s, by the way.

Yes you do! Welcome to the Catalogue! You are the 8th 37s ever reported.

Yup, but it's a top 100, so they won't be on there forever. This is a place where users are immortalized.

Filthy Purps and a bluebrother and some greenery.

I'm afraid not my good man. You were a tad tardy to the 40s. Keep that chin up, best of luck to you!

What does green mean exactly? 30 seconds or something?

u/bensroommate 59s Apr 05 '15
You get a green flair if you click the timer anywhere between 41s and 31s.

u/falcopatomus non presser Apr 05 '15
Do you know how they find the data for the lowest time?

u/bensroommate 59s Apr 05 '15
I think there is a feed somewhere on reddit.com that gives 100% accurate times. But I really don't know much about where that site gets its data. It's accurate though.

How many people are just waiting for red? Also who actually wants a yellow flair?
1
u/bensroommate 59s Apr 07 '15
A good amount, the entirety of the Red Guard, and more unspoken users. Many want to be one of the first yellow flairs. They will be showered in admiration.

u/Bligbee non presser Apr 07 '15
I think it would be really interesting to put dates on the catalog so we can see the time in between each button press
1
u/bensroommate 59s Apr 07 '15
Good suggestion, I've been considering that myself for some time now. We'll mull it over.

u/Ih8choosingausername non presser Apr 07 '15
is THIS or the list up in here more accurate?
2
u/bensroommate 59s Apr 07 '15
The Catalogue is more of a Hall of Fame than a rigorous tracker. The Doc does keep a very accurate watch on the first 10 users for each rank, but sites like the ones you linked to provide full counts. The Top 100 list is probably the most rigorous out of all lists.

u/arms_room_rat non presser Apr 09 '15
You think you could explode out the data for avg BOPS (i.e. exclude the first 24 hours of crazy)? It's sort of just a meaningless graph now that many of the dirty purps are gone and we have all settled in for the long haul here.
1
u/bensroommate 59s Apr 09 '15
We don't make any graphs, which graph are you talking about?

u/arms_room_rat non presser Apr 09 '15
Oh. The "find out how the button has been" graphs.

u/bensroommate 59s Apr 09 '15
That's made by /u/emtes, you can message him and maybe he can implement your idea!

I was told my flair is like a mistake? Is this true?
1
u/bensroommate 59s May 03 '15
Sort of. You have a "cheater" flair, most likely because you pressed the button when your internet was spotty so you saw one time while reddit's servers saw another.

u/EasyReader 58s Apr 05 '15
People are putting so much time into this button it seems. I wonder how much productivity is down world wide because of a button that doesn't do anything.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...

u/2daMooon non presser Apr 04 '15
As predicted in the writings of The Shade, the false prophets will be forgotten as more people join their ranks. What was once deemed "special" will become common place and uninteresting.
These new greens think that they have found some sort of new enlightenment, however I will put forward this: They are worse than the blues, who are worse that the purples, who are worse than the 60s. They have sold their press for fame and fortune and won't even receive half of the recognition that a filthy 60s received.

It's happening faster and faster. The last few thousand of the Red Guard will get their flair, and then the button will fade from existence. Doomed to the same fate that befalls everything that suffers the wrath that is human boredom.
