FYI Fediverse event The Button (season 4) starts tomorrow

After Canvas last week we are straight into another event.

I don't really know how to describe it but reddit had something similar one year. You pick a team, then you try to keep the button the colour of your team. When you press the button it becomes your team's colour.

The button has a timer (I think 30 mins? Or maybe it was 10) And if it runs out the entire game is over for everyone.

And you get a very limited number of presses. Basically you get just one press ever, but they are events that might give you more. They change the rules a bit each season.

So basically you join a team, and if it's not your colour then you can press the button to make it your colour, but you need to be strategic as you may not get to press again ever. And don't let the timer run out (unless your team is winning I guess).

I missed the first one as I didn't know it was happening, and joined team Purple the next two. But I'm happy to join another colour if everyone wants to jump in to the same team colour.

Feel free to ask questions or give a better explanation of how it works!
