Ye, praise be to Great Dome and the followers of Dome-ocracy. Our Dark Champion Flareon roams the wilds, spreading famine and flame. The Kanto shall be set ablaze.

May the fire burn in your hearts, always.

Funny how the PC ended up being your doom. You have no one now. Go back into the shadows.

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.
And if we had democracy from the start we'd have already beaten the game without much fanfare surrounding this entire concept, and zero memes/major events such as Helix Fossil and the releasing of pokemon/tossing of items.

I agree, but we dont have just democracy right now.

Woah what happened over the course of the last 13 hours? I though Red would never get out of the hell maze, but now I see team democracy and anarchy. Someone chime me in please LOL.

okay, why is Flareon the false prophet
Because there was a huge war on whether or not to get Eevee. Finally team Eevee won out and the next war became jolteon vs vaporeon. Vapo for surf and jolteon for coverage and speed. They didn't want to risk touching the PC so that's why vapo was a better choice. They ended up touching the PC anyway so Jolteon could have worked. They picked the Firestone and that's when everything went to hell. The release of ABBBBBBK ( and Jay Leno.

Is it just me or have they completely lost the ability to progress at all?

For the first ~3 days or so, movement obviously wasn't perfect, but the general "direction" was. However, since arriving in Celdaon, it seems like Red simply walks around aimlessly. I mean, we've been walking around Celadon for the past 30 minutes and haven't even come close to entering the casino.

First: The arrow maze. Stuck there for a looooooooooooong time. They would have eventually passed it after days or maybe even weeks, but

Second: Democracy mode. They used that to pass the maze, but now the whole chat is a constant battle between Democracy Mode and Anarchy mode. Those who want Democracy presumably want to get things done. It can be said that some in Anarchy also want to get things done, but probably not all. So what happens is we have some in Anarchy trying to progress and some trolling whilst a bunch of others (who'd normally be trying to get things done in Anarchy mode) are trying to get back to Democracy. Then when we're in Democracy, Democracy is able to power through and get things done, but at a snail's pace, and all its progress is negated when we go back to Anarchy mode anyways.

At this point, he may as well kill the damn thing and put it in Democracy mode, either that or get rid of the option for Democracy mode. This flip-floppin' thing is never going to work out, even the way some want it to (Democracy for nigh-impossible parts, Anarchy for others).

That's why having the democracy-anarchy voting system is so beautiful. Along with cutting the amount of actual game inputs in half.

We have a clear path to Giovanni, but we can't access the chat. The people on there are just dicking around in their stupid little democracy.

At first it was about glory, and now as the difficulty spikes up in terms of puzzles and battles and more precision is required, it's about survival.

Things change. The system changed to accommodate the new needs of the users. And I hope it continues to change.

We're not in democracy mode right now, we're in anarchy.

I don't understand the complaints about democracy, the game is usually in anarchy mode anyway, and even when democracy kicks in occasionally, there are always a bunch of people voting for start9

Get rid of the option for democracy. The good subplots, schemes, factions, and colossal but memorable failures came out of anarchy mode and just wouldn't be the same.

We might as well just have democracy. What point does anarchy now serve? Other than to troll those who want it to be democracy at all times? It is in no way more productive, and whenever a major obstacle is encountered, democracy will surely be voted in.

I'd rather it be brought about by the streamer when we hit absolutely insurmountable obstacles such as Safari Zone, and possibly the Victory Road ledge.


I mean, those mazes? Really? Those were not worse than the ledge.

Who do you think he's gonna go after now that he's been unchained? Probably a certain fire lizard.

He was summoned to his evil master's side. No doubt we will feel the wrath of the false prophet and his ilk once more, but the true believers will endure.

Yes they were, I think spending 25 hours in the maze proves that.

It's about speed. Democracy is more precise, but it takes time. Anarchy is better for battles and traversing the overworld. Democracy is better for labyrinthine rooms and puzzles

The mazes were worse then the ledge since unlike the ledge where only one input leads to total failure, in the maze multiple directions can lead to a reset.
 
How bad was Morty's Gym?

went pretty well until someone hit down so we couldn't hit the last haunter with razor leaf. We beat it barely by blinding the haunter and mudslap with Pidgeotto. The process getting in there took from about 3 to about noon I think including some training

Pretty much this. The stream may try to keep anarchy out of pride but it doesn't do anything for the run. Any serious strategy will involve democracy.

If we didn't have democracy, we'd still be in the maze.

No prophet killing. No drowzee liberation. No continuation of the meta.

Democracy has only built since its implementation.
