Why I have this strange feeling as if one person controls the game right now in democracy mode. All the up votes come from numberic shady names, kind of weird
It's ironic how it actually represents the real world.
I was ok with using it for the Safari Zone, even though we used democracy a little too quickly. Because we NEEDED to complete the Safari Zone, or else we couldn't progress. Snorlax and Zapdos aren't needed, they're also not impossible to catch with anarchy: it's like people aren't even willing to try.

Yea defintely alot of work. I'm sure it would be worth it for the memes though.

1 masterball, it would be impossible but we can for damn sure get to the battle using anarchy.
Once we get into the item menu with no one pressing b, we're all set to trial and error our way to the masterball.
Getting zapdos would honestly do wonderful to cover our bases. We also get 2 lvl5x pkmn and can focus on grinding air supply and keeper.
We already discussed this, and concluded it's clearly the streamer controlling a vast network of bots.
In fact, maybe none of the votes or commands thus far have worked, and this is just a big experiment to see if people will type a lot of things in chat! :O What if all your typing actually fuels a vast simulator which is emulating pokemon.
Also if one person were controlling the stream, they would know to vote one step ahead, so I suspect that's not the case. I've been typing in commands too though, so maybe I'm being controlled by the streamer/controller as well. D:
Yeah, we already talked about the anarchist start9 = republican filibuster. The experiment does mirror a lot of real world problems, complete with conspiracy, ballot box stuffing on both sides, people trying to ruin things for the other side and then blame them, and so forth. If only we could rename anarchy to "republicans" since I'm curious if people would type the name of something they hate. Of course if it's really bots for anarchy then bots wouldn't have feelings!

well that wasn't successfull. Anarchy reigns!!!!!
That's been happening a lot for a while with the stream. I suspect that a number of bots are being operated within it.Why I have this strange feeling as if one person controls the game right now in democracy mode. All the up votes come from numberic shady names, kind of weird

Oh, we're back. Thanks for getting us round that corner democrats! Would have been impossible without you.
Would anyone here be interested in being on my podcast tonight to discuss twitch plays pokemon? I don't know what time I can do it yet but I would like to have people from here on. My usual co-hosts either aren't fans of this or haven't really seen much of the stream.
edit: oh yea you just need to have skype and a decent mic pls

Just tuned in again, what's our next move? Catching Zapdos?
EDIT: Also I see people want to go to the daycare, do we have a pokemon in there? Is there a consensus on who to put in there?

people have start9 scripts, too.
Should make the only start command in democracy simply 'start'. 'Startn' has no utility.
This whole thing is just one person's protest, an attempt to force Twitch to fix their shit, or take them down if they refuse to change.
We didnt have to do anything. Could have just kept training abby and bird jesus without catching anybody else. Then we would have abby, abba, false prophet, air supply, keeper and 1free slot, maybe atv.
Its pokemon. Catching stuff is in our veins.
Although I was on anarchy's team for that round (democracy isn't going to be fun going long stretches and especially not stretches with many battles) I get annoyed with anarchists who are like, "Democracy doesn't solve anything!"
*start9 spam by anarchists prevents things from getting done in democracy*
"See it didn't solve anything!"

"See it didn't solve anything!"
Yeah, but getting there will be a pain in the ass
You're right, don't like what people are voting? just remove them!
Talk about trolling though...people are tempted enough to troll watching a game like this. Imagine if you were the streamer, and could troll 60,000 people simultaneously, presumably without consequence?
They must have an iron will.
They said scripts though.
I already saw someone saying that anyone who votes democracy should be banned, so taking that approach also sounds like removing votes you don't like, to me.Bedameister

I say we surf south and revive the glorious helix. We'll throw away the masterball on the way

That start9 didn't seem much worse than the start spam in anarchy. They got a good portion of their moves in. Most of which were banging into a wall.

Anarchists do not dislike democracy because they think it's ineffective at beating the game. We dislike it because it eliminates the stream's entertainment value. Urgent progress isn't key to our entertainment here; we aren't after a lets-play-by-committee. A dozen failed safari zone runs under anarchy would've been more entertaining than an entire game's worth of progress under democracy.

Well now that anarchy is back, the stream is much more eventful and exciting. And look at all the progress being made.
Welcome to the Republican Party.

This is a foolish mistake to even contemplate.
Besides the fact that we'd be unleashing a God onto the world (and one that has good reason to be vengeful for the sins of democracy), but also if he somehow DIDN'T manage to destroy us, undoubtedly our lord Helix's enemies would take a the oppurtunity to strike his mortal body.
We need guidance, not a nuclear weapon.

The Day Care allows us to store one Pokemon without risk of a PC massacre. If we try long enough, we can give the Day Care people cabbage for dinner while we free up a slot for the sixth party member (Zapdos/Snorlax).

Just imagine how great the stream would be if democracy had never been instituted and we were still in that maze.

At this point the stream has started to feel like real war. "The democratic plan to catch Zapdos", it's like they're talking about a military offensive.
In a lot of ways, they are. :lol

only possibilty to make progress is to throw away the master ball, believe me
Just another case of the internet taking a thing that was brilliant once and decimating its meaning and purpose by repeating it ad nauseam.
Start9 was a good method of protest when the steam became democracy only. Now that people can vote for either, their time would be much better spent quickly reinstating anarchy, instead of halting all progress for some fuckery.
But, such is the world of politics.
Enough people disagreed with that opinion to get democracy voted in in the first place.
I do agree that long stretches of democracy would be boring, most people do as evidenced by it being voted out after its mission is accomplished, but long term periods of being stuck are indeed less entertaining than doing it slowly but efficiently to get past it.
At least for the majority of 'players'
No brother. You are just scared of seeing our savior in the flesh. He must be given his mortal form back! It is for the good of the realm! errr the Kanto region!
Start9 has no in game utility. The only meta choices should be anarchy and democracy, so a vote for start9 should be a vote for anarchy.
I struggled with that maze and no way in hell am I going to let these lazy bums breeze through it without putting in any effort.
