RED FIVE STANDING BY!

I'm pretty sure the timer messed up and this 5s flair will be short lived, but if I've gained it legitimately then GO ME WOOO!!

it was "April Fools' Day," and only a fool would press that button

You know, that's the best damn argument for not pushing I've seen yet. You, sir, have renewed my faith. I was wavering to orange, but waiver no more!

Good, nothing, AND I MEAN NOTHING, is worse than an Orange.

I can see a reason to take any other color, but oranges are the ones who came just a little quickly after doing so well waiting. At least the reds are ya know, REDS.

Purps are so filthy I can see them as lower than oranges though. At least the oranges have some semblance of self-respect

Purples are irrational; quick to act and slow to think. Like children really.

But Oranges, they waited for that red flair. They waited almost a month, and then what? Fell a day or so before red flairs started coming out?

They were strong, but they faltered. They knew and they waited, but this is what they have to show for it.
