Someone just told me we released FlareoGOD.
I swear to god if we did I am done with this experiment! He was our destined hero!

If anarchy means that Red would have stayed in the maze for the next three months, then so be it. Helix would approve.
Well to be honest 30 plus hours sitting in the maze wasn't "fun" either. In fact watching the actual stream isn't fun except for gym leader battles, PC accessing, and the few minutes when the stream is really close to getting out of the maze, ledge, etc.. It's the concept, the aftermath, all the images and memes coming out of this that make it fun. I think it's cool the creator has tried something new to mix it up for a bit, it's been entertaining seeing Anarchy and Democracy divide the chat and start9 becoming a thing. That being said it's obvious this has overstayed it's welcome now, and the creator will probably take it out within the next few hours I'm guessing. If he doesn't, then I'll consider all the whining warranted.

I don't know, this anarchy/democracy struggle is pretty hilarious
Unfortunately general viewership wouldn't.
flareon got stomped out like a bitch
He was the false prophet, the bane of us all.
We don't need you. The keeper and bird jesus shall prevail. We are guided by our lord helix. We will vanquish our enemies!

Yeah right. Lets waste another day and a half on the maze in gamer corner
It's hilarious but it also distracts from the insanity that existed before.
Anarchy is more fun but democracy is for when everyone's tired of anarchy.

So what's going on in the stream right now? Did we pass silph co? People are mentioning a tree being cut, so the game is moving forward now, right?

anarchists now trying to toss the lift key

So the quest is pretty much over now that we've released Flareon, who, stupid memes aside was our best chance of beating the game.
If we don't get Hitmonchan it becomes close to impossible to get past the Elite 4. Hes the only easily accessible non-underleveled Pokemon left who has access to moves that can hit Ghosts.
It's amusing how short sighted the hive mind is and says a lot about the experiment I think. Hardly anyone realizes how screwed we are late game with just a Pidgeot who can't even learn any more reliable attacking moves, and can't even hit Ghosts.

Yep. We also are the ones that get to decide as a group when that is. It also makes Anarchy mode more focused since they will not be as random lest people get fed up and push Democracy back into action.

Oddish, Drowzee, and Digrat faint before they even reach the battle.
Flareon was our only hope. We're finished. It's over.
You see what happens when you find a stranger in the alps!

It's funny how Pokemon in RBY have no sex so we interpret them any which way.
I did like the start throttle; it made the going easier without actually restricting anyone or becoming a bullshit minigame.
Hitmonchan requires grinding to hit Ghosts, IIRC.
People do that, but it's usually fine as long as we counter-B. Hell, it's kinda funny when we accidentally use items or toss them or consult the Helix Fossil.

Helix has no mercy for demons.
Not over yet; Drowzee is basically a Magikarp that nukes Ghosts if we get lucky, especially if we get that Psychic TM on it.

It it anarchy that got the large viewership in the first place, might as well be what eventually pushes the viewers away. Live by the sword, die by the sword!
We need no key, fella!
Edit: I'm curious to see how much viewership boost the battle against Giovanni will make.
Sounds like a stupid thing to do with a sword. Should probably dance with it or cut trees
Yes. It was disrupting some things so they switched out to a dedicated chat server so the rest of Twitch is firewalled from this torrent of spamchat
Emergent optimization of anarchy.
Well I'd say this is a success of a social experiment.
