oh man my fingers hurt from pressing strg+v and enter

 

[A-V-B]

They're on 4F though!

Whoa, they are now. That was weird.

 

[Zabuza]

This is pretty boring now. I've lost much of the interest I had.

 

[everyday math]

Go go go go go go

[WolfForager]

...a down 2 a? It means what it means to make the elevator move.

I thought we could only vote for one button press at a time, didn't realise you could make multiple button presses.

 

[NotoriousPUG]

Wow, democracy is boring. Who cares about watching a slow motion play through where the right moves are made? I turned this on and they chose 4th floor and basically walk in a straight line out of the elevator. Anarchy was much more interesting.

 

[A-V-B]

Time to bring back anarchy now it seems

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

more up syndrome

 

[saska]

This is not the same thing and you know it.

This is exactly the same.

In anarchy, you can only do single button presses. Democracy allows for more complex chains of actions.

 

[Grizzo]

Oh my... this sight of Red walking relentlessly into that door...

Yep ^_^ I think its neat.

Oh my... this sight of Red walking relentlessly into that door...

He's ready.

 

[AngryMoth]

need to get back to anarchy for the battles!

 

[TheGoddamn]

Perfect. Diaborom(Flare)on was already unleashed upon the world, though.

 

[ZSaberLink]

What are they supposed to do now?

anarchy will return after the giovanni fight for certain. what's boring is being stuck in an area for 24 hours because anarchy can't get more than 6 productive consecutive inputs.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Alright let's shift back into anarchy gear.

 

[Azuran]

Welp, let's look at the bright side. It was a fun while it lasted.

 

[everyday math]

Wait do we have to beat the guys?

 

[Whools]

I think we need to just stop. Even if Democracy is only used once from here on out, it has already done its damage; the battle is over, the boring democracy has won.

This really has become a microcosm of the state of modern gaming. Game starts out hardcore, other people come in, find difficulty in it, want it changed, and it's changed to suit their casual tastes leaving a game that is merely a shell of its former self.

Anarchy has given us crazy releases, consultations, and gym victories. What has democracy given us? What will it give us? Nothing. We'll beat the game quickly, yay, whoopee, then I guess people can move on with their lives...

Totally agree. It should have been left completely unmoderated. I get the justification from the streamers point of view that they want to keep it moving and limit trolling, but it fails to live up to it's principle by having any intervention other than by the viewers.
If there was no intervention, It would have been frustrating for another day or so, but the hype would die down and the frustration would mount and soon there would just be a core following again, and progress would continue.
At least the streamer is not looking to profit off the stream at the expense of it's quality, so it's not completely emblematic of modern gaming

 

[Kouriozan]

Red hasn't sleep for almost 6 days now.

 

[Brashnir]

democracy weenies taking all the fun out of it.

 

[wmlk]

This is exactly the same.

This is the same thing. Heck, now it's relegated to being Pokémon Red, just like how big AAA games are relegated to being clones of other games.

 

[kahboomkin]

BAAAAAAAAAAAATLE TIME!
LET'S GO!

 

[A-V-B]

Come on guys, it's anarchy time again. We beat the elevator. We need anarchy back now.

 

[Solid Samus]

I just hope those in favor of democracy use strategy guides and microtransactions and cheat codes. No reason to take longer than needed in a video game. Challenge is for suckers who have nothing better to do.

If you want to equate what's basically an insurmountable wall to challenge then you're talking crazy

I think that Democracy should be limited to this exact point in the game, and the Safari Zone, and that's it. I'd much prefer it that way personally.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Oh shit they actually made it to the door?

 

[whitehawk]

This is exactly the same.

The game was never designed for 100,000 people to play at the same time. We have to be realistic.

 

[Cess007]

I love how as soon as the battle start, the chat started spamming "Anarchy" xD

 

[Grizzo]

Wait do we have to beat the guys?

Yeah, both of them IIRC.

 

[Cyan]

Look at this shit. a9. Psssssh.

 

[Kouriozan]

Time to spam a, I see.

 

[Beaniedude]

I missed the whole democracy anarchy thing being reimplemented!
They're out of the maze now? I don't like it.
In my view it would have been interesting seeing the wax and wane of viewers as they eventually got bored vs the progress.
Of course you'll be left with a higher percentage of bots so that kinda invalidates the experiment... well it tells us that people are dicks I guess.

Right on the money

The viewers run everything.

 

[gotoadgo]

Some of you get WAY too invested in a stream about a chat playing Pokemon. Perhaps this is the inventors plan? He wanted to have it a certain way until up to a certain part of the game and then change it, seeing how people would react and vote depending on what's happening.

It's still 100% percent controlled by the users.

 

[highoffcoffee496]

almost time again for anarchy

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

anarchy will return after the giovanni fight for certain. what's boring is being stuck in an area for 24 hours because anarchy can't get more than 6 productive consecutive inputs.

So what, that's the fun of this stream.

You think we would have the drama and shitshow if we actually had correct inputs via voting?

The randomness is what made this whole thing worth watching.

Getting bored? Come back in 12 hours and see if stream progressed, problem solved.

 

[Solid Samus]

ANARCHY

 

[watervengeance]

Giovanni still not dead?

 

[Cyan]

Yaaaaasssssss based anarchy

 

[Kouriozan]

Anarchy!
Everybody panic!

 

[everyday math]

ANARCHY!!

 

[Jaykay]

Anarchy here we go!

 

[papercamm]

I'm not personally fond of the democracy system but I have to wonder if certain parts would or will be even possible without it. I don't think getting surf will be possible without it. Even then, sheesh.

 

[wmlk]

The game was never designed for 100,000 people to play at the same time. We have to be realistic.

It wasn't even designed to be anywhere like this, period. It was just a chaotic system, that's what it was meant to be.

 

[Cess007]

ANARCHY

Is back! Now, time to see those crazy strategies that we always get xD
