Don't Press the Button!

Welcome to Don't Press the Button.

This is a game in which you have to press the button at the most
strategic time to (hopefully) accumulate as many points as possible.
Good luck! :D

How do you play?
In order to play, you need to see when the last person posted
"Press!" in this forum thread. Since the time is shown in your time
zone, you need to convert it to UTC. Then, use this handy
infographic to deduce how many points you get.

Will the game restart?
Yes. I will restart the game every once in a while.

What do I get if I win?
Bragging rights. xD

Can I post something here other than "Press!"?
Yes, as long as it's related to the game.

Who is the scorekeeper?
Technically, everyone is.

This is just like Hermitcraft!
Yes, except that you earn points that you can accumulate instead of earning belts.

Can I give gifts or prizes to the winners?
No. That is against the spirit of the game.

Why is the infographic ugly?
Because I made a good one but didn't save it. xD

The infographic's not ugly!
It is for me.

But you said you were "taking leave"!
The button can still be played.

Inspired by Hermitcraft Season 7.

Press! (This is the start of the game, I don't get any points from this "Press!" post.)

(this is not a press) so it works exactly like THE button of hermit craft 7?
also what are the increments, hours, minutes, whatever?

(not a Press) I know how this is played I watch the Hermits. My new day starts at 10am for me.. so that's a good time. Just to give people a heads up on this, the next most points packed time to press will be my time 10am on the 1st May which would give 10 points.
If your not sure on this.
When someone presses, the counter goes back to the start position each time its pressed.
EG: it's been 4 days since it was pressed and it's just hit the 3 point mark. If someone presses it, it goes back to "day of last press post" and the days begin again.

P.S. If no one counts the points how do you know who has bragging rights. But you say we all know each others points. So how would we if we don't count them.
So as I see it we can 'unofficially' count them just to keep track of them.
My reasoning behind this is because the time between the presses will be so long that we will have to subtlety count the days to keep track.
