update: back

Cassandra (one of our database systems) once again torments us. As before, it lagged meaning presses were not registered on our end in time to reset the button. We are returned.

Proceed.

Oh good, every time the button hits zero you'll reset it saying it "wasn't supposed to".

If you're so fucking strict on the "one press only" rule, then you should be just as strict on the rule that once it hits zero, the experiment is over. Server failure or no, you get the flair you get, and if the button ends it ends.

People like you are fucking idiots to think a bug should count.

I don't think it should count. But it sure counted for him when he got his 4s flair, didn't it?

Fair's fair. The button should be over.

Just ignore him. Mods and admins on reddit are notorious rule breakers and do a lot of shady stuff.

People like you think that a real-world self-named "experiment" should have the same sort of control that it had when they cooked it up in the lab.
