Purple Team's Reign or Forgotten Rules? 'Button' Season 2 Sparks Brawl Over Game's Core Mechanics
The competitive game 'The Button' on Lemmy persists as an active, recurring event, with announcements for Season 2 currently circulating across multiple threads.
Discussion splits sharply on the game's DNA. Some users focus on tracking granular details, like 'Allero' noting the Purple team's longest lead or specific player interactions. Conversely, others, like 'teawrecks', claim the original format never included teams or defined wins. 'ViperActual' presses the point that the current iteration has already concluded, suggesting the talk is entirely backward-looking. 'slazer2au' adds another angle: the viable strategy might be total non-engagement to stay 'grey'.
The core argument is whether the current, structured version of 'The Button' even follows the original rules. The community cannot settle whether the game is currently running, if the established team metrics are relevant, or if the entire debate is happening after the final buzzer.
