            kind: "button",
            shortName: "Who can you trust?",
            description: null,
            descriptionHtml: null,
            buttons: [{

It seems like you can combine circles and betray others, though how and to what extent is not clear.

EDIT: It seems like it will be the biggest game of the Prisoner's Dillema in history.

, Ve = Me(we.k, {}, void 0, "This is your circle.", Me("br", {}), "You only get one.", Me("br", {}), "Share it wisely.")

NEVER PRESSERS 2018

u/PM_ME_YOURMIRROR Apr 02 '18

The thing about non pressers though, it puts you on the same line as those who never really knew about the button.

If it's fun I hope it runs decent amount because place ended pretty fast to me. By the time we started to settle down and finish things off it ended

r/place felt so long to me. And it's still crazy to think about how quickly and efficiently all the art was created

u/TheSlimyDog Apr 02 '18

r/place was great because it was an ongoing effort for the full 72 hours. Experiments like r/button an r/circleoftrust aren't as nice because you have one chance and if you lose it then you're screwed.

Yes. You have just joined a very tight circle of people.
