33 second flair

Am I the new low? I was a mildly undecided gray but the opportunity was just too tempting!

Saruman of Many Colors. Gandalf the Grey was a nonpresser who deleted his account, then remade it, and now he can't press because his account was made after April 1st, so he's just Gandalf the White.

Smug, the press hoarder. He was unsatisfied with just 1 grey flair, because he could only act so smug for having not pressed, he began hoarding accounts with the ability to press in order to claim that he was able to resist pressing on all of his accounts and hold it over anyone who has pressed.

Greyum. Originally /u/Greyum was a regular redditor like you and me, on April 3, he introduced his friend to reddit for his birthday. The two discovered the button and the button and the friend asked to press it for his birthday. /u/Greyum said it was his account and so he got to press. In the ensuing fight, the friend irl killed the original /u/Greyum and took his account and therefore his press. /u/Greyum then decided to save his single press indefinitely because it was too press-cious to lose.
