He's going to remove the multiplier.
Maybe in stead of acting like a small child that doesn't get what he wants and keep spamming start9 the anarchist should roll with it and see what happens. If it's ineffective it'll eventually get changed, it didn't get a chance.

Within literally 5 seconds of democracy coming back:
oh boy

It's not about efficiency or effectiveness... if you think that's the case then you've missed the point entirely.

They're still stuck in the hideout?
He's ruining the whole point of the exercise. I wanted to see if it were possible for them to get through on their own.
And now it's back to normal?

From the Twitch page:
Sounds like an attempt at getting the best of both worlds, with democracy for the parts that require delicate movement and anarchy for everywhere he can just zoom past. Only problem is democracy still sucks for delicate movement too due to the stream lag.

It's not. It's also not about it being as chaotic as possible so it's the most fun for everyone involved.

Supposedly he removed the multiplier just now, we'll see since democracy will take over again in a moment.

But this isn't the same thing that got us upto here. This system is more the equivalent of just watching some random guy play and him seeing the chat and doing what people want. if this was the original system, this thing would not have gone viral or even that popular
So now people will spend time voting and playing the game? dumb move.
US Politics is a bit different from the rest of the world in that respect. In much of the rest of the world, red is left-wing, blue is right-wing.

Now 10 seconds to vote on every single step. Time for that super fun time to start... right?

This voting system is ridiculous.
Waaaaay too slow.
Can't we just go back to the original system of complete chaos?

I was watching this stream 24 hours ago and they were in exactly the same building doing exactly the same thing.

Broseph just destroyed his own social phenomenon. If he was so concerned about getting past this puzzle, it would have been infinitely better to just take over for ten seconds. It would have been lame, but way less lame than this.

should just be a 3 second timer, maybe 2.

You say this like no one else has noticed.
We should be able to do this segment now.
After that, bring back the old system of chaos.
I think I prefer Anarchy mode even if nothing gets done for hours.

My post was worded wrong. I meant to say it's not about what's most fun.
Is this like that short movie where we find out the streamer is Hitler and we're basically Nazis?

Sorry, that wasn't meant to be confrontational or aimed at you. I respect your opinion even if I don't agree with it. I'm just venting in general

The democratic system just doesn't work with the twitch lag. Everyone spamming the wrong direction input way too late, and then spamming to counter, and so on until they end up stuck in the same spot.

So we've gone from every single input out of millions counts to your vote means nothing. Great.
Because it's just like the capitalist system: offer and supply. If prices are too high, people will stop buying. Then once demand falls, prices will have to fall too so the excess of supply can be sold.
It's the same principle here. Many viewers are gone because there hasn't been any progress in over 10 hours, and the reason for that was the excessive amount of viewers. If they go down enough, then we'll reach a point where progress can start being made again, and that will bring in more viewers.
So buy low and sell high. That's the tip to winning TPP. The Helix has spoken.

I do agree with this - but the funny thing is that there's probably a roughly equal amount of progress with this system. One voted-for move versus 50-100odd random moving in circles or pressing start. But it's still not as fun to watch, obviously.

I don't really like watching streams that much, just the ESL and I don't think I ever commented. But this is different. I've been here since day one and today's been the first time that I got that response from the server.
KojiKnight

That's why there is such a long vote time, it's useful to counteract that.
I do understand the point of this new updated system and there is value in that it COULD actually work when stuck on precision points...
The problem is that it defeats a large part of the feel of the initial experiment IMO.
