Would startdown3adownadowna2 not toss away all of their items if spammed?

Uh oh, stacking needs to go before trolls decide to do things like that.

 

[TronLight]

I think somebody from the chat just spoiled me Hours of Cards season 2.

"To "start9" something" is basically a meme for when you want something to be changed back to the way it was now, right?

 

[StarVigil]

Anarchy > Democracy it seems

 

[GazzaScotland]

This is why we can't have nice things.

It's basically a DDoS.

 

[TUSR]

what happened

 

[Cyrano]

Democracy was never a nice thing.

I love this pic, so much better than the crappy happening.gif.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Change.

 

[Interceptor]

The people are on the streets. This is really like a small society. If you take away the illusion of choice people will riot. Don´t play the dictator for the greater good. Let chaos reign!

 

[linko9]

Anarchy returns!!

 

[ZeroGravity]

THANK THE HELIX

 

[kuroneko0509]

Voting gone

"We all should start9 Resident Evil"

 

[Lace]

Voting makes you feel your not playing anymore but someone else is. Along with removing the sense of a invisible will to head towards one direction and the struggle that involves.

 

[Newline]

No one knows the origins of the ever so powerful start9. All we know is the great power it possesses. Hopefully we use it well.

 

[Anustart]

Oddly enough, we voted with start9 to get rid of Democracy.

 

[TheGoddamn]

Introduce a little anarchy.

 

[MrJustinius]

Seriously this whole thing is a surprisingly great experiment for how different political systems work when faced with a large mass of people.

Anarchy, democracy, rioting, protests, the effect of "religious figures" on the mindset of the masses, the war between people wanting progress vs trollers wanting chaos...as someone who has studied political systems at length I find this absolutely fascinating hahaha.

 

[Jintor]

 

[Freaky Fred]

Maybe it's the fact I'm still up at 6am, but this made me laugh pretty hard

 

[Phlebas]

That was quick, it was never going to work.

 

[TheAbsolution]

And see, now you guys realize that an averaging system would never work with this. Randomness it the only way to go!

 

[Toma]

paused again... hopefully that voting will be removed

Voting? Did they implement an average system over night?
And what was that start9 thing about? Just woke up and missed something I guess.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Let's get this show on the road.

 

[SkullHydra]

Aaaaaaand we're back

Spoiler

to doing more of nothing

Exactly.

 

[k91191]

Well, I'm done with this. Way too boring. I'll be back if it ever reverts.

Anarchy returns!

 

[TheOGB]

And a triumphant save in the face of change.

This is the greatest emergent narrative ever.

 

[Cyrano]

Voting?

You missed out on the rise and fall of democracy, a three act play by anonymous.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Voting?

before this the streamer implement majority vote to decide which button will be pressed... and it's a failure

 

[mclem]

And see, now you guys realize that an averaging system would never work with this. Randomness it the only way to go!

I think it could if you eliminated lag. The combination of the two, though? No way.

 

[Toma]

You missed out on the rise and fall of democracy, a three act play by anonymous.

Summary of that somewhere?

Why did it fail?

 

[Newline]

Haha, all in the space of 30 minutes.

 

[Tourmeta]

At least we've tried something else!

This whole twitch stream has been a social experiment in various ways.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Wow, this has turned out to be a really interesting social experiment.

And it even caused the other small streams to come up with different goals and ideals. Blue actually got one person to do commands for a few minutes to switch a pokemon. But it took something away from the randomness at some point.

Sheesh, I need to get some sleep...

 

[Phire Phox]

I'm guessing they haven't cleared Team Rocket HQ yet?

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I can't stop laughing at how ludicrous that whole democracy thing was.

It united some 50,000 people in an instant.

Social experiment indeed.

 

[Newline]

Summary of that somewhere?



Why did it fail?

It promised us structure but all it gave us was a hindrance to progress. Start trollers were also given more leeway under the new system too, the public were having none of it and began an uprising. Mimicking the start trollers until the system was taken down.

 

[Mory Dunz]

So what's the goal now?

 

[k91191]

So what's the goal now?

Go to the PC. Let chaos ensue.

 

[nubbe]

democracy fucking suck

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I'm guessing they haven't cleared Team Rocket HQ yet?

I doubt we'll see that in our lifetime without divine intervention.

 

[Cyrano]

Summary of that somewhere?

The beginning of the saga: streamer implements a voting system that queued votes and made decisions in ten second intervals. That failed pretty horribly.
Paused it, returned with a shorter interval voting system, five seconds instead of ten. Also failed.
Then, five second intervals where you could queue multiple commands, "start9" would press the start button nine times. Thus the start9 armada began. This broke the blockade of the streamer's heart. Or Helix Fossil got involved.

Why did it fail?

So most likely, the voting system failed because there were long intervals between actions. Ostensibly to give the script some time to process votes. Didn't work because actions felt extraordinarily delayed due to the game waiting long periods for single inputs.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

What we do every night Pinky, try to take over the world!

 

[Toma]

I doubt we'll see that in our lifetime without divine intervention.

Be patient, it might take a week or so, but eventually luck will prevail.

 

[Tourmeta]

So I guess they want to go back to the PC now

Ah I see, interesting. Thanks.

What for?
