Twitch Plays Pokemon: Dig, Dig for Victory!

I'm actually starting to like the anarchy/democracy thing although chat spam is the main downfall. However we will be able to do safari zone and victory road so finishing the game is now possible. Which is a good development at least.
Although Anarchy for everywhere else, our hivemind can move us in a general direction fine, we just lack precision

Did they guy running the stream really not see Start9 becoming a problem before implementing this Anarchy/Democracy thing?

GAME PLAN TIME!
Thanks Reddit.
1) Do you really expect this to happen in Anarchy mode? I mean, really?
2) I assume people aren't really griding to lv up the weaker pokemons, right? Is there going to be a time for that?
Guys, stop saying Drowzee has no moves. There's a house where a guy just hands Psychic to you. Go to the house, get the TM, use it and hope to god we don't use it. If we lose it, great, we'll have to either grind with Drowzee and Digrat or catch something and be forced to use the PC.
The only reason Pidgeot is currently winning battles is because he is overleveled. Levels are transitory. We can level up our other pokemon with better potential, like Drowzee or our future Lapras. Pidgeot has middling-at-best stats and an extremely poor movepool. Pidgeot learns no better moves than he currently has naturally. And worst of all he hogs all the exp, so we're stuck with his mediocrity. Tying all of our hopes to someone who's best move is Quick Attack is pointless.
Lame. There will be no more major exciting accomplishments because every time we encounter any difficulty, democracy will be voted and it will be swiftly overcome.
Now it's just like we're actually all playing a single player game at once, agreeing over every individual, sensible movement. Which is signicantly more boring.

Ok I was way off base about this thing jumping the shark. The anarchy-democracy dimension is pretty awesome.

Pidgeot is a lesser god in a realm of mortals. There exists greater gods above pidgeot under helix rule that they must seek and awaken

Democracy has arrived to bring order to the force.

Has Start9 ever won a democracy vote yet?

We shall not box our Pidgeot! We'd be nothing without him! Where Helix deemed Abby to be unworthy (Bide? Tchhhhh), Pidgeot has been raised above the rabble! Born a humble Pidgey, he defeated all odds including evolving TWICE in spite of the trolls that would B him down!
They'll have to, at this point. Grinding up Drowzee is the best option for beating the game. And time is the one thing they'll never run out of.
We got past route 22 and Rock Tunnel in "anarchy mode". We can do that easy if we put our minds to it.

We could say that about any part of the game so far.
We won't get past the tower if we don't grind Drowzee.
I agree.
The collective shift in political philosophy of the viewer base is interesting to observe given certain game situations.
you will eat these words before this run is over
I consider that far more doable than the ledge.
The only things that are reasonable for democracy are the victory road ledge, and safari zone.
Unfortunately every other obstacle that could be done with anarchy will now be done with democracy.
This is how something like Dragon Quest V would probably work better if that doesn't have quirks like the NES games did for input. Random encounters and in the initial part of the game you get full restores with 0 penalty for party wipes. Combined with Twitch anarchy and it'd be ripe for hitting level 99 before you even clear the second dungeon.

They will learn, just as they have in the past. After much prayer and deep self discovery, I have decided that Helix must have willed democracy for the worst dark times. We switch to it fast and abandon it just as fast when the need arises. Helix has not turned us down the wrong path yet, I trust in it.

Lol democracy fails.
It really just shows the real problem is Twitch chat delay and Twitch's inability to detect and ban bots.

Haven't watched in a while, how does this anarchy/democracy thing?
Edit: ah, beaten
Also did you really release ABBBBBK( if so you're all fired.

Democracy: Every 20 seconds a vote is cast. Whichever command gets the most votes wins.
Anarchy: Normalcy, the way things were done before where users put in a command and that command goes in the queue
Storyline was never the problem. The maze was.
How long is the chat delay right now?

Anarchy is the old way. Democracy is the voting method you see happening right now.
To swing the tides, enter anarchy or democracy in twitch chat. Once the dark bar swings far enough to the light bar, you will see the shift.
