If all you care about is getting things done, why not just play the game yourself? Or even watch a Let's Play?

Normal folk (those in favor of "anarchy") wish to get things done whilst at the same time overcome much adversity that will make the victory oh so much sweeter.

Mixed in with the anarchy people of course with people who want nothing more then to cease forward progress as much as possible. who would be hitting soft reset if they would be allowed.

This whole thing is a great allegory, you want as much freedom as possible, but there's people who want nothing more then to ruin stuff as much as possible using the granted freedom as a lever.

If society is going to work it can never be just one and just another. Permit each household a nuclear bomb and the world will end by the day. 95% wouldn't use it, but the 5% "just want to see the world burn" would ruin things.

I guess what I'm saying is 'Start9' is the reason we can't have nice things. and ironically the nature of the people who use it is why they can't have what they want either =P

I dunno, are we far enough along in this experiment to call it "stream terrorism?" a minority demanding 'their way or the highway?'

 

[TechOne]

what happens if democracy wins?

Start9 happens

 

[Ferrio]

what happens if democracy wins?

You familiar with the House of Representatives right now?

 

[Victrix]

We all lose

 

[Anustart]

what happens if democracy wins?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

If you actually viewed the RNG stream, you'd take that back immediately.

I did. And until they got stuck the two were very very similar.

 

[Kouriozan]

Everytime they go in a PokéCenter in Anarchy mode I'm scared.
But Democracy is boring to watch.

EDIT : LOL GOODBYE FLAREON.

 

[qq more]

is Flareon back yet?

 

[Corronchilejano]

Oh no... we're approaching the PC again.

 

[Faddy]

The voting system suck because it forces people to flood chat to vote as often as they can. Before people would try to communicate messages, post routes and strategy. With this new system there is almost no communication within the group.

 

[BGBW]

Fuck.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

is Flareon back yet?

Start9

 

[Cess007]

I'm not in favor of this democracy system, but goddammit the old way was awful. There's got to be a good middle ground. We need more scripters to combat start spammers and trolls is all.

This isn't fun just because it's chaotic. It's when the people work together to make order out of it that it's kinda cool. And anarchy is not that. Anarchy is spending 24 hours in the Rocket Hideout and then going straight back into the maze when we leave it. Anarchy is near indistinguishable from RNG.

So we just need a little organization here. Not democracy, but for shit's sake we need to make efficient progress by working together.

Yes it was. It was pretty damn fun. I get what you mean, but the sensation when the streaming accomplished something (teach Cut, passed Route 9, survived Rock Tunnel, bear Erika) was only so high 'cause it took that much time and dedication to overcome the chaos and do it.

 

[Hyperactivity]

FLAREON RELEASED

 

[zoukka]

Flareon is released.

 

[SuperSah]

LOL FUCK

[Yondy604]

WAIT, DID THEY FINALLY GET THROUGH THE MAZE

 

[kahboomkin]

THEY RELEASED FLAREON HOLY SHIT

 

[_hekk05]

Holy shit false prophet released.

Anarchy wins

 

[Kouriozan]

I knew it dammit!

 

[Cse]

WOW!

 

[qq more]

FUCK

;_;

 

[Timeaisis]

CAST OUT THE FALSE PROPHET!

 

[ZimbAdam]

THE FALSE PROPHET IS NO MORE. REJOICE, ALL YE FOLLOWERS OF OUR LORD HELIX.

 

[Cyrano]

Anarchy... SO MUCH FREEDOM.

 

[Azuran]

Holy shit, he's gone.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm dying guys.

 

[Htown]

Yes it was. It was pretty damn fun. I get what you mean, but the sensation when the streaming accomplished something (teach Cut, passed Route 9, survived Rock Tunnel, bear Erika) was only so high 'cause it took that much time and dedication to overcome the chaos and do it.

and what you fail to recognize is that the stream had reached a point where accomplishment was impossible

 

[Whiskeymatt]

THE FALSE PROPHET HAS FALLEN

PRAISE BE TO HELIX

 

[kyo2004]

So much win... The false prophet is gone!!!

 

[Trey]

looooooool

 

[Rainbow In The Dark]

LMAO good bye false prophet

 

[Shouta]

They release Flareon? LOL

 

[The Bankslammer]

THE POWER OF PIDGEOT COMPELS YOU

 

[Corronchilejano]

RIP false prophet.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Happened under Anarchy reign.

Anarchy wins

And so the 2nd Golden Age began, under the guidance of helix and Pidgeot

 

[okayfrog]

HAHA, YES, GOODBYE FLAREON

 

[DryEyeRelief]

you guys complain too much. see you got an awesome moment even with the new system

 

[zoukka]

And it was basically a one shot. Walk to PC. Bills PC. Select Flareon. Release. Ok.

 

[BassForever]

So at this point how do they beat the game drowzee and pidgeot?

 

[Talamius]

HELIX TRIUMPHS OVER DOME

THE FALSE PROPHET HAS BEEN REJECTED AND EXILED

 

[Kemal86]

Oh shit hahaha. Now we just need to get Helix back and it will be smooth sailing.

 

[Yondy604]

when did they get through the maze?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Yes it was. It was pretty damn fun. I get what you mean, but the sensation when the streaming accomplished something (teach Cut, passed Route 9, survived Rock Tunnel, bear Erika) was only so high 'cause it took that much time and dedication to overcome the chaos and do it.

I don't think that chaos running rampant was fun. I think its presence giving people an incentive to work together was fun.

Inherently, there's nothing fun to me about watching a bunch of trolls move Red around a screen and open the menu. But if, through that, people make meaningful progress by working together to defeat it, then I'm down. That was happening in small portions before. But we can do better.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh boy. Why dont they just stay away from the PC?
Game over, that was it.

 

[Zalman]

NO WAY

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Holy shit...thats hilarious. While everyone was distracted disaster struck.

 

[LProtag]

It's stupid to get excited about losing Flareon, as he caused all the mess and therefore it would be worth it just to keep him so we'd have something.

Oh well! So the story goes!

 

[Heropon]

The release of Flareon was the result of a plan orchestrated by the real anti-christ: Dig Rattata. Now we're doomed for real.

 

[Kid Ska]

FUCK YES!
The false prophet is dead!
