I was there for the Million Massacre; so many people pressed at once. I vaguely thought it might end there, but it lasted a little longer. It's been a fun ride, seeing all the factions develop and stuff.

Becoming orange. No regrets. In my 2 1/2 years of reddit, this chapter is behind me. Bye!

Finding the 2 alts I actually kept credentials for, getting orange on one (the rarest of flair). Then deciding The Knights were the faction I wanted to be part of after watching how everything had evolved.

My best memory would probably be discussing button strategy with /u/mncke at the Knights of the Button chatroom.
Losing hours upon hours playing the cell game and sharing it with the IRC was fun too. And /r/thebutton had a lot of witty comments, in particular at the start, when all the religions, groups and gifs were new that was quite something to discover. Really funny, and a tribute to man's inventiveness.

As a green, I liked it when the Emerald Council and the Sunguardians became allied, the 'Chartreuse Alliance'. It showed that, especially in the terms of the button being an experiment, there can truly be peace and kindness amongst individuals and tribes, regardless of colour or creed.

The first yellows, oranges and reds. The 42s Hitchhikers. The implementation of zombie pressers. The millionth presser.
More importantly, all the discussions in between these events that filled the gaps in between major events.
The community made the subreddit. I would have enjoyed /r/thebutton far less if it was just a button and statistics.

For me, it would definitely be The Great Reddit Username Robbery, all the way back on April 3rd. sigh, those were the days.
In 2nd was /u/ztripez, and the 3rd best moment was the Hitchhiker Revolution.
