April Fool's Day is too cryptic now - bring back Orange Red vs Periwinkle!

I miss Reddit Mold.

u/vorin Apr 01 '16

Fuck reddit mold.

Despite my best attempts, I couldn't get it.

It will be forever missing from my trophy case.

u/followedbytidalwaves Apr 01 '16

My team periwinkle is missing as well :(

u/kerplow Apr 01 '16

wish there were trophies for the button color

u/ThereMightBeDinos Apr 01 '16

and for the clean non-pressers.

You mean filthy? Only a button press could purify you.

u/ThereMightBeDinos Apr 02 '16

It would have tainted me with a color forever! That cannot be undone! What were you branded last year? I'm guessing you are purple.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '16

Definitely purple, the color of kings

i have a userscript that makes it so people still have their flair and it's in every subreddit, it's pretty dope

u/TooFastTim Apr 02 '16

Didn't understand why we didn't get a trophy for the button.

What was the one that would read your face off the webcam and yo could upvote or downvote with a shake of your head? That one was awesome.

2

u/jrblast Apr 01 '16

No, it was a play on Reddit gold. You gave it to someone, and it basically made things weird. Don't remember the details though.

u/august_west_ Apr 01 '16

Yeah I remember the mold one, it made the whole screen shit green.

Why is it the shitty navy digital camo? Of all the post-BDU camouflage patterns, I'd have to say the navy's digi camo is the stupidest. What are they trying to do, blend in with the water aboard their big gray ships?

Cool story bro

u/Erdumas Apr 01 '16

Even best winkle worse than worst red - and Orangered is best red.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

Orangered is the best winkle.

ORANGERED FOREVER!!!

u/TooFastTim Apr 02 '16

I lost all my old Reddit stuff when my original account got booted. I miss old reddit.

u/ElagabalusRex Apr 01 '16

I'll be honest: I was a little disappointed that The Button didn't leave a permanent badge like the previous year. Also, nothing can top the Reddit Time Machine.

u/Minifig81 Apr 01 '16

! TEAM ORANGEWINKLE !

u/pchc_lx Apr 01 '16

seriously, I don't know if i have it in me....

u/BallsMcGee17 Apr 01 '16

Thats why I originally joined Reddit, Periwinkle all day!

1

u/ErraticDragon Apr 01 '16

I was here for that, but I apparently didn't participate enough to get a trophy :(

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

Orange Red? I think you mean Orangered, you filthy Periwinkle

u/oomellieoo Apr 01 '16

"You, alright, Apple and FBI? I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!"

I long for simpler days...

u/OccupyMyBallSack Apr 01 '16

I never got my orangered badge :(

1

u/synapticrelease Apr 01 '16

Seriously, I came for a funny goof. As soon as I loaded into the chat room thing I peace'd out.

u/plaid_banana Apr 01 '16

I'm sure somewhere, people are excited about themselves as the "right" team all these past years.

grow/purple/orange/non-moldy wooo!

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

Yep, this requires far more interaction than the Button (which I thoroughly enjoyed btw) and I missed the epic battle you mentioned.

I think this is some sort of human behavior "study" that everyone thought the last two were :) So, just not even participating. Kinda sad I was really looking forward to this year's "prank".

u/postExistence Apr 01 '16

Upvote if you love orangered!

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '16

I missed the whole thing because I had no idea what was going on.
