Are you good at second guessing? Then this game’s for you.
Hello there, redditors, and welcome to this year’s April Fools’ Day experiment—Second!
TL;DR: Vote for second place.
Here’s how it works:
Each round you’ll be presented with three images.
Vote for the image you think will be the second most popular.
The earlier you vote, the more points you can win or lose and the higher the stakes. (We’ll periodically show you the vote counts, just to make it interesting.)
At the end of the round, the image with the second highest number of votes is the winner.
Everyone who voted correctly, gets points. Everyone who chose poorly, loses points.
The ranking will be shown in the leaderboard in r/Second, and the best second guesser wins it all!
One thing to bear in mind: Your vote impacts how likely it is that an image comes second. Use this information as you choose.
Second is available on iOS, Android, or your browser. (And, heads up, you may need to update your app.) And in order to vote you'll need to be logged in to a Reddit account that was created before 4/1/2020. You'll know everything is working if you see something like this at the top of r/Second
And there it is, have at it and have fun!

I'm starting a faction: The third pushers.
Our goal is simple. We wait for the votes to display for the first time, then we vote en mass for whatever is in third place, thus pushing it into second.
Edit: /r/thirdpushers is live! Join our ranks!
Edit 2: we got banned. im not really sure why. but ok.
Edit 3: They can't ban a discord! https://discord.gg/EqAyQdzz
Edit 4: No longer banned! Unbanned! THIRD PUSHERS FOR LIFE!

Closing thoughts
One hell of an event, and one hell of a way to spend 34 hours. I held the #1 spot on and off for over 25 hours, but in the end took 5th place for points, and 2nd for wins. I'm happy with how I did, even if I didn't end up closing out 1st place due to the last 1.5 hours. I forced myself to stay up purely on red bull and determination, but in the closing hours of the event it turns out that that wasn't enough. Major props to everyone from both the April Knights and Snakeroom for helping me through the event in vcs, and to everyone who provided competition. At the end of the day, not the best event reddit's ever done, but as the 1st one I took seriously, I'm (mostly) happy I did. I'm gonna get some much needed rest, hope to see y'all next year, and sorry I couldn't close it out.
(btw I'll be happy to answer any questions if anyone has any)

I was so close to greatness. The person below me got it though.

Second will end after round 2000
Round 2000 will last for 1 hour.
Use this information as you will.
May the best second guesser be revealed.

Why make a Reddit April Fools with no social/community aspect?
Like, we’re just clicking poll options. There’s nothing to bring us together or talk about. Lame.
