The opening hour saw 25 presses as players rushed to claim the button. Activity stayed strong through the afternoon (15–25 presses/hour) before tapering off overnight. The timer finally ran out at 04:23 UTC on April 6 after a quiet stretch with just 5 presses in the final hour.
Fun Facts
- The average timer value at press was 10m 59s - most players pressed well before the 15-minute deadline
- 13 presses were made with less than 60 seconds on the clock
- 39 players registered but never pressed the button
- The margin between 1st and 2nd place was just 2 minutes 50 seconds out of 16+ hours
- Purple had the most players (79) and most presses (76) but still came 2nd

Wait when did this happen?!
Started just over 24 hours ago! Sadly finished earlier on.
We need a long term marathon thing…
Like lengthen the timer before the button “dies”, and make the goal of trying to keep this “torch” lit for an entire year
This is more interesting than the olympics

OKAY NEW IDEA:
Make the timer longer… like 30 minutes…
BUT:
Your team must wait until the button gets pressed by 2 different teams before one of your team members can press it again!
So
Purple Presses --> Red, Blue, or Green must press within 30 minutes to keep it aluve
Red Presses --> Blue, or Green must press within 30 minutes to keep it alive
Green Presses --> Purple, or Blue must press within 30 minutes to keep it alive
The point of this is to force teams to be more balanced… I mean people wanna keep the game going for as long as they can, right? That’s the fun of the game
Damn missed it again ;(
It will be back!
It’s really interesting that both season 1 and season 2 lasted almost exactly as long as one another. That is even after everybody got a second press within the first 24 hours to try to help carry it over until the button refresh happened. It really shows that there aren’t enough users active in that timezone to help it through to the next day.
so we need to get japan on board for another time zone. So first, translate the page to japanese, would help and second get mastodon, misskey on board, because there are quite a few japanes people. I would be interested if there was even one mastodon user participating? I have only seen lemmy, piefed user. Or maybe contact the poeple from the australian lemmy server, they not that big, but better than nothing
S1 actually finished about four hours earlier than S2 but the numbers are showing wrong (perhaps fixed by now).
