You gotta love a chat room of 90k people and about 200 inputs get calculated (if that)

 

[$200]

 

[Sianos]

so basically because of start9 we're gonna use anarchy to get rid of digrat and probably lose pidgeot in the process

Oooor we could go to the daycare using pausa buffering! A risk free alternative that serves as practice for the Ledge 2.0.

 

[OminousShadow]

O my god that start menu. /dead

 

[Dreavus]

I imagine that the ideal scenario is Anarchy for general movement and battling (while attempting not to fuck things up too badly), and then Democracy for the precise environment puzzles and possibly tougher battles like gyms.

But it seems like people want one or the other at all times.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

This is why we need to move a step further. We need to enact representative democracy to prevent the tyranny of the trollity.

Spoiler

Or just go back to anarchy because this isn't working.

 

[Crosseyes]

Meter is already switching back to anarchy.

If/when anarchy wins and heads back to the PC and results in releasing Pidgeot after insisting with their start9 filibuster to do it their way...

I would seriously consider moving out of the U.S. with that kind of foreshadowing.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Damn Democracy sucks.

Also there is no chance that Pidgeot isn't getting released right?

 

[Dangoesforth]

This is what the last 24 hours have looked like for me

 

[Whiskeymatt]

Lol Silph Scope is trending on twitter.

I bet I have tailored trends on. But still.

I don't have tailored tweets on and it's trending for me!

Edit: And now it's gone, how strange.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Guess the majority don't want democracy. Can't say I'm disappointed.

 

[everyday math]

Oooor we could go to the daycare using pausa buffering! A risk free alternative that serves as practice for the Ledge 2.0.

We've tried it and failed tho.

That's awesome.

[kahboomkin]

Well, time for bed.
Hopefully things don't go to hell while I'm gone.

 

[Hitmonchan107]

 

[cdkee]

Did they beat Giovanni yet after digging the second time?

 

[Brashnir]

Great lets just do start9 so nothing gets done. Ug.

Who wants to get something done if you didn't earn it?

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Democracy folks need to manage their time between keeping it alive and opposing start9.

 

[TheOGB]

Oooor we could go to the daycare using pausa buffering! A risk free alternative that failed and eventually lead to the loss of Abby and Jay

Just sayin

 

[Madlib]

I know I'm too invested in a thing when something like start9 makes me this angry.

 

[Mr. RHC]

For everyone looking for a decent summary of the major events, this here looks pretty decent:

Edit: Ah, already in OP, good!

 

[wmlk]

Welp, done for today.

 

[Regulus Tera]

People who vote start9 are evil.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Anyone got good, sad Flareon fanart?

 

[okayfrog]

People who vote start9 are evil.

Nah, dawg, we just want democracy (the true evil) to go away. And look, it's working!

 

[789shadow]

Did they beat Giovanni yet after digging the second time?

The beat him, then dug out before grabbing the Silph Scope.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Back to anarchy! Hide yo wives, hide yo kids!

As you may have noticed from the script someone linked earlier in the thread, people may just be auto-spamming anarchy every 30 seconds to get their way. Doesn't even have to be the majority.

An easy way to counter it would be to let it run for a while, record every account that is voting for start(number greater than 1), and block them for the rest of the experiment. With 90,000+ people it would be Super Effective.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

I know I'm too invested in a thing when something like start9 makes me this angry.

Haha, I was thinking the same when I was getting pissed at democracy votes mid battle.

 

[Professor Renegade]

 

[CrocMother]

People say we need digrat for the tower, but it's going to be hell with him in our party

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I know I'm too invested in a thing when something like start9 makes me this angry.

At least you're aware of it. Most people just get angry and lash out at others.

 

[Sciz]

I get where the streamer was going with the ability to chain commands, but it doesn't work. Take it out, consolidate the votes into single inputs, and this would actually get somewhere, however slowly.

 

[HK-47]

 

[Cess007]

Did they beat Giovanni yet after digging the second time?

Yes, just to dig once again before taking the Silph Scope.... i want that Rattata soooo dead!

 

[Timeaisis]

Yay anarchy!

 

[TheOGB]

But that's no fun, man

 

[DaBoss]

Welp. we're going to release Pidgegod or something. I don't think I'm strong enough to watch this go down.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Back to anarchy

 

[Sianos]

We've tried it and failed tho.

That's awesome.

After only two hours, and at one point we were a step a way.

This isn't some on-rails casual Let's Play, we do things the hard way and stick our challenges! Believe! Persevere!

 

[Dangoesforth]

Anyone got good, sad Flareon fanart?

Here you go

 

[CrocMother]

Anarchy + Universal suffrage=true democracy

 

[BassForever]

I get where the streamer was going with the ability to chain commands, but it doesn't work. Take it out, consolidate the votes into single inputs, and this would actually get somewhere, however slowly.

Then start and probably b would win 90% of the votes. Democracy should only be implemented when after 24+ hours absolutely zero progress has been made in an area and the group is collectively sick of being stuck.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Back to anarchy

 

[lednerg]

This is a GOP plot to get young people disinterested in participating in democracy.

You gotta love a chat room of 90k people and about 200 inputs get calculated (if that)

It's like 100 inputs every 10 seconds, if that.

There are likely more than 100 inputs every second from 100,000 viewers. I don't know if you all have noticed, but chances are, your inputs are not making it to the stream. In either mode.

Twitch is going through some shit right now, though. I hope Twitch Plays Pokemon finally inspires them to get their shit together so that all chat rooms across the entire site don't go down whenever a big event happens.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

I can't tell, are we in Anarchy or Democracy?

 

[Shingro]

The rat lives another day :/

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I can't wait for the challenge of the Safari Zone. It's the main reason I'm still interested in the stream, other than the thread.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Just a random question how does this all affect twitch? It's kinda weird because there are no ads so i assume they make no money from this. It does put a big strain on their servers though lol. Not sure if it affects the other streams viewers counts either. Not that i give a shit just had a thought.
