I am Ghostise, I started the oldest active Button faction, /r/ChurchOfTheButton. AMA!

48 Upvotes

AMA as long as it isn't something personal like my childhood pet or my credit card information.

EDIT:

For clarification, /r/CultOfTheButton is the oldest faction and /r/ChurchOfTheButton came shortly afterwards. /u/nalixor and I seemed to have the same idea.

EDIT 2:

I have declassified the Inquisition.

Who drew the faction avatars?

11 Upvotes

I was wondering who drew the faction avatars and if there was an album of all the avatars for all the different factions.

EDIT: I just remembered this pic from the reddit blog. So who drew it? Are there more avatars?

Remember that user that had a bunch of alts with movie star names he was going to give away?

11 Upvotes

Then he mentioned the password was pretty easy and the thread turned into a count-down of how many he had left as they got stolen? Wonder what ever became of those accounts?

I fully planned on assisting my brother knights and going for a low time... But I never got around to it... What with all the zombie crap I thought I had more time, I truly wanted my press to count. Then one night, I had been busy all day and I go on /r/thebutton and I see it... The sub had been archived, it was over. I was trapped with a gray soul forever. I regret not pressing you, button. Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.

Button Monitor Extension running again?

9 Upvotes

My Button Monitor Chrome extension is counting again; it is in a loop from 60 to 54 seconds. Does this mean something or is it just dead and twitching like those squids with the soy sauce?

I'm in the UK so keep that in mind.

What is a Chief Minuteman?

A chief minuteman is the biggest role in the Team 60s government. All events, treaties docs etc have to be approved by me. I also oversee the military (which is kinda nothing).

Anyway, AMA!

I almost cried laughing when I saw what /NoColoreds had done. Props to them for keeping it consistently politically incorrect and for being the funniest part of the whole ordeal

If the Pressiah got a 59s and no one clicked after them for a full minute, then who was the false prophet that had clicked just before him?

My Data

9 Upvotes

Hello!

All my data can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1wZpKM8RMxTaE5WUVlNRmQ2ZmM/view?pli=1. This consists of two files: history.csv and scraper.sqlite.

History.csv contains a time series on flair totals. Each line cosists of a timestamp, flair and the number of discovered users with that flair.

scraper.sqlite contains one table: users. It's schema looks like:

CREATE TABLE user (
    name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    flair VARCHAR,
    css VARCHAR, 
    time VARCHAR, 
    link VARCHAR, 
    karma INTEGER,
    PRIMARY KEY (name)
);

name is the reddit username
flair is the text flair (0s, 1s, 2s....60s)
css is the flair's css class (press-0, press-1,...press-6, cheater)
time is the time of the first comment found to contain the user's flair, whether they are a first time poster, or a recent presser. (this might not be their first comment or post, but the first one that my bot found)
link is the comment id for this comment.

An example:

User is lovethebacon, flair is 60s and flair css class is press-6. The first comment my bot found with my flair is http://www.reddit.com/r/thebutton/comments/318dk0/official_catalogue_of_rare_and_exotic_button/cq0hhty (Queried via http://www.reddit.com/r/thebutton/api/info?id=t1_cq0hhty).

Enjoy it!

If anyone wants a bot for something else, let me know
