He's trying to implement a vote system of some kind.

Pokemon worked for a very good reason, inputs are simple and not time based. Dark Souls is a terrible idea for a 'Twitch Plays', clearly just an attempt to ride the wave, or to have 4 minutes of laughs before realising that the game is woefully inappropriate for such a delayed and anarchic form of control.

Sorry is old (searched BBC) it now made the BBC news. I now know Kanto is a fictional region...(google first result agrees, kind of like how Doge is the meme and not the title)

Last night the streamer implemented a "democratic" system where people "voted" on an input (once every few seconds based on what had the most votes).
The new system was slow, bulky, and ruined the entire premise. So users found out that they could type start9 and it would press the start buttton 9 times if everyone voted on it.
So out of protest, people spammed start9 till democracy was removed. Now he put it to a vote (though the majority of people already have spoken on the subject).

Before 2000 red and blue weren't associated with a particular political party. In fact, more often than not Republicans were blue and Democrats Red! Pokemon's just following that 98 standard.
Has the (alleged) anarchy/democracy hoax worked? Have we seen some progress through the maze because of this distraction?
It seems like people are starting to care less about the poll now that they see it isn't moving. More and more people are putting in game inputs instead of voting. I'm scared that this was all for naught.

I agree, any game that requires multiple button inputs at once/strict timing will never work.
I do hope we see more of these that gain as much popularity as this one did.
Twitchplayszelda would be amazing, but again, not sure it would work in this context.

I said he probably wanted to do it anyway, not that he must have had the idea for the change and wanted to do so since day 1.
Not that I think it should happen at any point in time.

Purity of the rom perhaps, but purity of the mob control?
Do you think we'd have gotten a million memes if it was the democratic system he tried to implement? All of those ledge images/gifs wouldn't have existed.
Sure it would have been "neat", but the reason it blew up so big was BECAUSE it's chaotic and random with all of the inputs. The users aren't just participating in the game, they are participating in a much larger meta game filled with in-jokes, joy, fear, etc.
If we hadn't lost Abby and Jay Leno to random presses releasing them, we wouldn't have grown as a tiny sub-culture.

Viewership going down is precisely what they need in order to advance. And banning bots.

I'm missing something. How is the streamer communicating with the masses to explain these new systems he is implementing?

I like this part:
There are so many funny things about this statement that I don't even know where to start.

This democracy/anarchy is all just a big distraction to make them type that stuff in while some brave heroes guide us through the place and actually beat it.
I wish.

I don't follow any stream closely but I think they only ban bots in the blue stream.
Just now there was this guy "To_the_left". He basically said down, down, down, non-stop every 3 seconds. I think he was banned.

People are VOTING for anarchy. Hilarious in an oxymoronic way

I love the anarcy versus democracy fight going on here.
Even more so as the body seem to be making some progress while everyone is concerned with the vote

I wonder now how far they could get in Fire Emblem. They'd probably have to play one of those where permadeath can be turned off, though.
This would be Awesome xD or Twitch plays Tetris
atleast they are trying. ive seen them get semi close a few times.
dont lose hope.
"voting"
Seriously, where are the what are we fighting foooor memes tumblr? I am disappoint.
Tutorial battle. The end.
Unless something changed, all I heard from the creator was that he'd do something if necessary to allow for progress, without specific detail as to what that 'something' would be. There were lots of suggestions, and some of those got bandied around as What He Would Do, but I don't think the creator actually ever specified anything.

I think they actually did escape this room once, but ended up going back in somehow.

You're saying they'll do the glitch to break the FE7 tutorial?
They'll probably manage to toss all their weapons though.

They ban trolls, too, but that includes people they perceive as trolls. So in the end you might think you have true freedom of expression but in reality it's only what the mods allow you to have.
They could beat Streets of Rage 2 if they were given infinite lives.
I mean, that's kind of why this is a success, because there's no penalty, no returning to a start screen or whatever, for dying. Just jumping backwards to a Pokemon Center, to begin the amazing futility all over again.

IF this is all a ruse, when the masses find out, all hell will break loose.

I hope the death of this stream is due to natural causes and not the streamer trying to change things up too much.

It is a gaming experiment, not a sociological one. It's just a videogame people, just have some fun.
I won't deny it is entertaining to watch the change of direction but in the end it's just a big time waster (a videogame, after all).

Unless it's a rom hack not going to happen since Awakening is the only one with it I think. Now Shining Force is something I can get behind and might actually be possible.
I'd also like to see Earthbound or Golden Sun. Someone get on those.

This. It's a pull system, not a push system. Watch the inputs, you'll see a ton more democracy than anarchy... and if it goes that route, RIP any more cool gifs/memes/fun.
Anarchy is beating democracy in a democratic voting.
It's not hilarious. It's beautiful.
Edit: Oh no democracy is about to lead. That's not good, it was terrible.

Was it really? I didn't get to see it.
Wait what?
So democracy is about to win? I thought that line was for anarchy to win!
I bet democracy winning was fixed by trolls.

Yep... and it will be horrible. The death of fun.
(edit) Death of fun completed.... See you guys in a few hours when people realize how dumb this system is and switches back.
