Only an unjust and false god such as Helix could bring democracy about. ANARCHY forever!

Spoiler

Especially at the PC!

 

[KojiKnight]

Our bureaucracy will be the envy of the world. it would only take a week to make each move.

Our system of government is evolving quite fast... we could have all of this done in just another week or two!

People watch with amusement now. When Twitch invades Canada and installs Flareon as Lord Protector, nobody will be laughing.

 

[Cse]

Wait, what happened to Flareon and Drowzee?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

DigRat, Jesus Bird, Drowzee, Oddish. Flareon the Deceiver and CutBot were put in the PC.

So now we can get Laprss, right? And maybe Growlithe for a fire type?

 

[Corronchilejano]

About 20 minutes ago they managed to successfully pass the maze... and then they walked right back into it.

We didn't switch quickly enough to Democracy and troll spam bots won the race.

 

[KojiKnight]

Wait, what happened to Flareon and Drowzee?

In the PC, Flareon's evil contained. Drowzee has been left to guard.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

I really think they need to reinstate voting periods if they want to stick with this system, otherwise people are constantly voting Democracy once Anarchy is up and the other way around.

Say after a voting is done, 30 minutes of no democracy/anarchy voting.

lol @ democracy being boring. How long have you been in this damn maze again?

Yea I could understand the complaining but like we've been here for 24 hrs and it's not like we haven't had "not in the spirit of the original intent" alterations already .

 

[BlueMagic]

I am suggesting going back to chaos only and have life find a way, but IF they stick with this, switching between anarchy and democracy every hour will be tiresome.

This, so much. #teamanarchy.
Also #teampokedoll.

 

[PreyingShark]

Wait, what happened to Flareon and Drowzee?

We deposited Flareon to make room for Lapras. Drowzee was a casualty.

While we can digrat our way through the tower it would be better to switch to democracy to withdraw Drowzee at some point.

So I refresh Twitch and now I just get a splash screen with their logo. It's dead, Jim.

 

[Jokab]

"It's dead, Jim" is a Chrome thing I believe.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Must be a problem on your end.

 

[Timeaisis]

I'm curious how this whole democracy thing got started. Obviously the guy in charge of the stream implemented it, but was it his idea or the will of the mob?

 

[Cyrano]

Such a strange metagame.

 

[Ambient80]

"It's dead, Jim" is a Chrome thing I believe.

Hah, no, I should have explained that better. It only shows the Twitch logo. The "It's dead, Jim" was my own bit of terrible humor

 

[KojiKnight]

we're about to escape the maze again, chat is actually getting very well organized.

 

[DaBoss]

Wow, they're going to do it again!

One thing for certain is that there are people learning.

 

[TrickRoom]

I still think having the entire chat in one window was better, though. The erupting comments added to the fun.

 

[HK-47]

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

I love that people are learning to vote 1 move ahead to compensate for the lag. It gives me hope that we will once again see daylight.

 

[KojiKnight]

.... and now there is a mess of people that don't know right from left.

 

[mclem]

The funny thing now is that when democracy wins, the people that voted for it will focus on playing the game, then anarchy will win again, and forcing the democrats to vote and stop acting...

I quite like this, as a solution. Anarchy is sufficiently in-demand that it'll be the natural state, I think, except when precision is absolutely required, and then precision *is* required, there's a finite window of opportunity to work with.

 

[bluepolicebox]

I love that people are learning to vote 1 move ahead to compensate for the lag. It gives me hope that we will once again see daylight.

They're evolving. Which is why anarchy is so much more interesting even if it takes longer.

 

[Cse]

So does the emulator change the input scheme automatically based on the number of "democracy" or "anarchy" votes, or does the stream owner have to manually change it each time?

 

[xfactor99]

I'm curious how this whole democracy thing got started. Obviously the guy in charge of the stream implemented it, but was it his idea or the will of the mob?

He tried to impose it on us at first, and people rebelled by just voting "start9" all the time. Then he let us vote on it and we voted for democracy to get through the maze...

 

[Purkake4]

Wow, more like twitch plays slokemon.

 

[HK-47]

They really wanna phase through that wall.

 

[xfactor99]

Its automatic, we changed to anarchy after the last pokemon battle with that rocket guy and then immediately went up through the maze again

 

[Blizzard]

Wow, more like twitch plays slokemon.

Is it that much slower than the 12+ hours spent on this maze up until now?

 

[DaBoss]

Anarchy mode now pls.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

As boring as Democracy is, watching the Start Trolls bring up the menu every 3 seconds was worse.

The anarchy is only fun when the good are more in number than the evil. I guess releasing Abby and Jay Leno were good for some laughs, but that's about it. We should strive for more than just laughs.

 

[SuperSah]

Please, bring back permanent anarchy.

 

[mclem]

On the upside now we can get 2 of our best pokemon and the mighty helix out of the pc.

Just.... keep an eye on that bar, and bail when necessary

 

[maniac-kun]

How about a dictator mode? The voted dictator has controle for 5 min.

 

[HK-47]

Praise be to the dome, we out

 

[Highwind]

Nearly done with this puzzle.

Lmao. Fuck anarchy.

 

[Corronchilejano]

I'm curious how this whole democracy thing got started. Obviously the guy in charge of the stream implemented it, but was it his idea or the will of the mob?

There is another Stream with only democracy, so seeing it actually gets things done (albeit slower), they decided to unify the concepts.

Now the mob changes between democracy and anarchy depending on how which one is better suited for their needs. The good thing about democracy is, unlike with the ledge, is that there's only one direction that will advance the puzzle, while every other option only sets us back. With the ledge only one direction was harmful, with the puzzle every other direction is,

The helix is dead, long live the helix.

People will probably vote to bring back anarchy mode once they've fully cleared the maze. Democracy is much more boring, but it was obvious that the group, especially with all the bots, wasn't going to ever clear the stupid thing.

 

[PureYeti]

Chat needs to work together and vote for *input* x 2,3,4, etc. One step at a time stinks haha

 

[DaBoss]

Democracy is going to be needed at these places:
1. strength puzzles
2. panel mazes
3. final boss (AKA ledge 2.0)

Outside of that, we need anarchy for speed.

 

[Azuran]

This is just boring now. People will just vote for democracy as soon as we hit the next difficult part even if we only failed a couple of times.

 

[mclem]

This... is boring as hell.

They should have it change automatically from Democracy to Anarchy in trainer battles at least.

One thing you absolutely can't do is have it react to occurrences in game. Needs to be handled by the users.

 

[Revven]

The only good thing the anarchy/democracy can contribute to all this is the images that will be produced hours from now. The images should consist of the Pokemon yelling at Red, "Democracy!" "Anarchy!" etc etc.

 

[SuperSah]

Amazing.

They actually made it after 24 hours.

HERE'S TO THE NEXT INEVITABLE FUCK UP

 

[bluelightningduo]

It's beautiful.

 

[Toma]

They would have cleared it eventually, even if it might have taken months.

 

[Interceptor]

Can someone with a little programming skills emulate this but with no people at all? just entirely random inputs from the computer? This would be a good replacement for the ape study. I guess this democracy nonsense is here to stay
