Slow and steady wins the race.

 

[Wazzy]

Now lets see how this turns out :lol

If only this had happened before Jay and Abby were released. ; ;

 

[ZeroGravity]

Well this is pretty lame so far.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

One command every 10 seconds... this game is going to take even longer at this rate!

 

[Garcia]

They want to retrieve the Helix!!

 

[JBourne]

This seems really terrible so far.

 

[Prophet Steve]

This isn't a bad idea, but I hope it doesn't stick around forever.

Also the time between moves should be turned way down.

Yeah, ten seconds is way too long. I wouldn't mind it being a second or so.

 

[Lace]

This is terrible to watch. Every ten votes would be much better.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Now suddenly it's majority vote for each command?

Ugh, the social experiment aspect just got diluted a little.
Eevee was the result of a majority.

Eevee isn't what was wrong with this, it's random trolls going toward random places and pressing start all the time.

I don't see how the experiment got diluted, it got better if anything. Majority vote.

 

[Zabant]

Voting. Saves us from the lawless. But it's horribly slow and inefficient.

Sounds about right.

WELCOME TO POLITICS IN 2014

 

[Roche]

I don't like this movement towards the PC I can't deal with another Abby/Jay Leno loss in my life.

 

[PBalfredo]

Whelp, the electorate is about to try their hand at the PC.

 

[k91191]

Terrible idea. Terrible programming. Terrible execution. Terrible everything.

 

[TheGoddamn]

Democracy still chose the PC.

 

[Garcia]

Guys, is this "voting" system new? I can't believe I jumped in right when it got implemented, this is going to make the game actually beatable.

 

[TheOGB]

With the Helix Fossil among many items in the PC, and a new system of democracy implemented, Twitch Plays Pokémon has ushered in a new era. Will this advancement improve our hopeless situation? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball Z!

 

[BinaryPork2737]

This is an amazingly bad turn of events.

 

[Cirruss]

I hope he changes it back, or at least sets the voting time to 1 second as this is making it take forever

 

[Tourmeta]

The timining might make it possible to do whatever they might want to do on the PC without too much error.

 

[Lace]

I wonder if he is attempting to patch the delay with large time to vote

 

[shink]

Why the PC again. We're forever stuck in the PokeCentre

 

[linko9]

They're going to release someone, I can feel it.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Terrible idea. Terrible programming. Terrible execution. Terrible everything.

This guy had a hand in releasing Abby and Jay Leno.

DON'T HIDE BEHIND THAT VAPOREON AND REVEAL YOUR FLAREON AVATAR

 

[Zabant]

Majority thinks we should go to PC? ok, perhaps i'm liking this idea.

 

[Nintaiyo]

Yeah, this is pretty boring to watch now. Part of the charm was how frenetic and absurd it was with all of the inputs coming in super fast. They should just ban the bots.

 

[KittenMaster]

I seriously need to draw an avatar for myself for a lot of the recent drama.

 

[Griss]

Ruins the fun of it. I really wanted to see how far the hivemind would make it. I have a feeling it would take days and days to get through that maze, but I wanted to see if it was possible.

The guy running it obviously came to the conclusion that with the chat delay it had become essentially an RNG game, and that wasn't what he wanted. At least now there'll be some semblance of intelligence to the choices made. Slows the game down terribly, though.

 

[Blearth]

Should be first to 10 instead of this long ass timer

 

[MetalGuardian]

cleanse the spam, implement excessive movement tedium in its place

while the helix fossil works in mysterious ways, it is not farfetch'd to dig into pokelore and realize the gods can manipulate time in any way they damn well please

 

[PreyingShark]

This is going to go wrong quickly

 

[Roche]

Nooo stop please.

This is getting hard to watch, like a car crash in incredibly slow (yet democratic) motion.

 

[jabuseika]

Congrats, now the botters will take over the game...

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

LOL they implemented a vote counter?

Time to jump back in to watch the chaos ensue. It worked well on the yellow stream (lolpun) because there were only about 300 ppl.

 

[Ferrio]

He needs to put it down to 5 seconds.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Please go after the False Prophet and not Jesus Bird if blood really needs to be spilled. We're witnessing a revolution.

 

[k91191]

This guy had a hand in releasing Abby and Jay Leno.

DON'T HIDE BEHIND THAT VAPOREON AND REVEAL YOUR FLAREON AVATAR

Wow, you're so funny.

 

[joshcryer]

It actually is resulting in correct moves. The problem is it's way two slow, because when you turn around your sprite turns before moving, so to go from looking down to walking left would require 2 entire sequences of "left." This is hard to fix because you'd need to keep track of the past inputs and if the player is looking in one direction then do a double move...

 

[ZeroGravity]

Can't even navigate the PC properly this way either.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

The delay screws everything up

Wow, you're so funny.

You seem upset

 

[rmanthorp]

Nope. Hate this.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Guys, is this "voting" system new? I can't believe I jumped in right when it got implemented, this is going to make the game actually beatable.

It has been here for maybe three minutes or so.

 

[TheOGB]

I wonder if he is attempting to patch the delay with large time to vote

It's still too long, if that's the case. We're moving at snail's pace and still over shooting the right selections.

 

[Garcia]

This is the struggle between A and B people, wow.

 

[TheSeks]

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ raise your pitchforks!! ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ raise your flareons!! ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

Where is your Helix God now!?

 

[TheAbsolution]

This voting system is terrible so far.
WAY too slow.

 

[Ferrio]

Ya the delay is making it unplayable...

 

[blamite]

Damn, overshooting that deposit button...

Yeah, ten seconds is way too long. I wouldn't mind it being a second or so.

I guess it's mainly to account for the delay, which is understandable, but suuuper frustrating to watch.

 

[Lace]

It's still too long, if that's the case. We're moving at snail's pace and still over shooting the right selections.

I wonder if it's possible to move this stream to something that's more instant?

 

[Garcia]

Needs to cut the delay at least by half, maybe more. The waiting is unbearable.

 

[thepotatoman]

Terrible idea. Terrible programming. Terrible execution. Terrible everything.

Yeah, the whole spazyness was the most interesting thing.

Ban the bots that were still posting at the break, and put some slightly stricter limits on individuals posting too many times too quickly, and just let them go at it.
