Adoption

On the old site, each button had a page with a table of their stats against other buttons, with a cell for each other button, with that button's record against each other button, colored accordingly -- brighter green for a highly winning record, brighter red for a highly losing record, lighter shades for closer records, and yellow or white or something for an even record... And blue if the two buttons had played fewer than five games against each other.

Someone (anyone know who?) came up with the idea of "adopting" a button, with the goal of getting rid of all the blue boxes, i.e. playing (or causing to be played, e.g. via tournaments -- you didn't have to play all of your adoptee's adoption games) five games against every button on the site. (Or, for an easier goal, five games against all tournament-legal buttons; in between, five games against all buttons except Fanatics; and, as an intermediate goal, at least one game rather than the full five.)

More details to follow, but meanwhile, here's a table of people who've said they've adopted a button.

More discussion on on the site.
