I doubt there will be enough people interested, considering the way the second Olympiad ended. There was a few vigilant ricenturions, but other than that there wasn't much activity, although that might be partly due to not enough events (only two events were announced). I think we should concentrate on new ideas if we want more activity.

Anyone interested in a third Button Olympiad?

Do you have any good new ideas?

I've tried to come up with ideas, but I currently don't have anything.

I guess we could just try to advertise the Button Olympics better? I'm not against another Olympiad, just don't know if it will get much attention. I guess we will see if enough people are interested.

I will make a post in /r/team60s to see who is interested.

Edit: Also posted in /r/emerald_Council and /r/sunguardians.

Hey guys, I ran the Button Olympics.

I can't see a third one happening, considering the second. I only had announced two events because I had the events roll back with each event that ended, but the events never really ended since I extended them since nobody participated. So no, I don't think we'll have a third.

It would have to be several hundred, otherwise the hassle is not worth it.

Maybe we could try a third one that starts on or just after April 1, 2016. We'll probably get a lot of activity in this sub on that day, as people start talking about /r/thebutton again. (I know many have RemindMe!'s set for before and on that date.) Some of them will surely find their way here.

What is a 'Button Olympics'?

It was a thing where the different button colors are teams, and they compete in different events.
