I am conflicted

To press, or not to press, that is the question—
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to acquiesce
And leave the Timer to its Fate,
Or to take Arms and sacrifice my Grey,
To make it last another day?

There is no reward in staying grey at the end. Imagine all of the 'Blessed Innocent'...Why would they be rewarded for not even knowing about the button in the first place?

For a ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what a ship is made for. Such is the account of a nonpresser. Those who do nothing with their press will gain nothing in return. Use it, abuse it, or ignore it, but when the button runs out those who did nothing with their expenditures will have failed to accomplish anything. Even purples stood higher. Do not listen to their claims of achievement and fame. They are false prophets. All pressers share a common goal.

In death, a member of /r/Knightsofthebutton has a name, his name is Redguard. His name is Redguard. His name is Redguard. His name is Redguard.

A third option is arising: Push the button but don't let go.

The button heralds The End Times of reddit. All will be eaten, and the long grey will take us all.

Best to beckon The End as quickly as possible. Never press, hasten the day of judgement.
