Don't try to be the first red flair!

78 Upvotes

There will be so many people who want to be the first one with the first red flair, just as there are many who want to be the "Sun King", or the first yellow flair, right now. If you want to be the first person with a red flair, that is fine, but that's not what the Redguard is about. I imagine when the timer hits 11 seconds for the first time, there will be one red flair followed by about 50 people who end up in /r/Team60s. Don't be one of those people. Save your button press for when the timer is below 5 seconds and /r/TheButton is actually in dire need of the Redguard's intervention.

For the night is dark and full of terrors...

[Button Science] Some hard truths and strategies

43 Upvotes

We are all well aware of our goal: Save The Button

We are all aware of our fate: The Red Flair that symbolizes our sacrifice.

We are all well aware of the inevitable: There will be a time that the button reaches 0.

Here are some of the hardships that face us:

Out of our hand threats: There are greys who will strike, and it is done without malicious intent. These sleepers just want to gain the reward, which is fine. These may come from other religions and battalions who turn at the last minute.

False Pressiahs: They want more than the glory of red flair, they want to be the last one. Their selfishness is bound to cause us problems regardless, especially in the 11th hour.

The Pressiah: He who shall be the final press. We should not strive to be him, but to usher him in with prestige. The odds that he is in our ranks is slim. Just as we shouldn't want to be the first Red, we should also be wary of trying to be the Last.

The Bots: They are out there, and they will cause problems. Not much we can do about that.

Misfires: The time will come when we are needed. I want to keep as many of us as possible Crimson, but it is a fact that some of us will become Purple Casualties. Whether it be self induced due to timing, or maybe due to strays coming in to claim their own reward; it's going to happen. I suggested earlier that within out watches, I would like to organize certain times to lower the risk of double click casualties. we have 11 seconds, so the parameters will go 11-9, 8-6, 5-3, 2-0. Of course this is just an idea, and would need to be vetted and approved by the Masters. I do think this will help, but doesnt insure that some will not Grape Out, which bring us to our next threat:

Assassins: We are familiar that there may be those among us whose purpose is to infiltrate and let the count finish. the before mentioned system should all but insure they do not succeed.

Our goal is to sustain The Button with the one power we all posses; our press. We only get one and we have chosen to use it in the final hours. There are those out there who think we are selfish. There are those who think we are naive or foolish. Others want to belittle our purpose by demeaning us as just "pressers." The cold, hard truth is that they are all correct, in one way or another. We want the Red Flair, we are fighting an un-winnable fight, we will use our press. But that doesn't mean that what we do has no purpose.

What we do is not only for The Button, but for the Scientists, the Church, the Cult, The Emerald and the Blue. The 60's and the 59's. We give them time to search, to learn, to worship. For some, their press has passed, and to them we give them the spectacle of watching as one by one we give ourselves to the inevitable end. We give the assassins a purpose and the nihilists a reason. We will usher in the Pressiah.

We Are The Redgaurds.

Red or Dead.

Have you all given up?

37 Upvotes

Am I the only one who still believes in our cause? One short outage should not be enough to make you lose faith in everything we have worked toward for so long. The red flair is still the most coveted of all. The button is still worth saving. When we pledged ourselves toward the guard, it was not conditional. With or without you quitters, my watch continues. For the night is dark and full of terrors.

Red or dead!

And so it begins.

37 Upvotes

15 Reds were pressed at 12:18:14 today. And so the time of the Redguard is upon us.

But I urge you do not jump on to these early pressers, we must persevere and hold to the lower numbers.

Got nostalgic about the button today

28 Upvotes

Went back through the subreddit earlier today. It was such an experience watching something like that unfold. And to be honest, I'm still pretty proud of myself for getting red. It means absolutely nothing, other than I clicked a CSS element at the right time. But damn did it feel righteous.

THE SUN HAS RISEN! and a new record broken

27 Upvotes

over the last two hours 10:00 GMT+1 to 12:00 GMT+1 10/03/15 a smattering of yellows appeared in /r/thebutton the record was broken lowered to 31s then very quickly within the hour broken again the first 30s started to appear as of a few minutes ago there were 30 yellows in the main button subreddit. Brothers as we draw ever closer to our time this is a milestone, we have reached yellow. There is now only one more colour to go until it is the time of the redguard. One more thing i feel it is important to mention is that it is not just a few people there are many many people in the comments and posting with yellow flairs. Instead of being a gradual increase there has been a sudden explosion of yellow flairs this gives us very important infomation about how people are likely to proceed as we get towards the valuable colour. This shows how important it is that at this time WE REMAIN VIGILANT

Many cry that button has bled, Yet my integrity will die hard, I have committed myself to the Red, And RE-pledge my click to the REDGAURD!

25 Upvotes

All great quests have moments of doubt, where even the bravest experience turmoil that sully the very purity of what they seek.

I said red. I made a pledge.

I am RE-pledging to the Redguard, and when my time has come, I will take my reward!
