WHAT
Roughly maybe less, but I doubt it will be accomplished, we might end up running out of steps before getting the gold teeth and surf.
It always says "saved state 1" though. I hope it's not automatic.
Edit: Phew, the admin caught it, stopped the chat, and is figuring out how not to make soft resets possible.
what do you mean disabled? How can they use it when they need it, lol.

OK GUYS GG, RUN WAS FUN.

Had the save been overwritten I would've closed the window and never opened it again.

Well, you can see in the command window how START is greyed out. The admin added this to the channel description:
I'm sure he's checking in periodically, and is going to enable it if needed. Still, kinda ruins the 'purity' of the experiment.
But then how will we equip the bike?
The thing to remember that every move *away* from the optimal route adds takes *two* from the counter - the step back and the extra step required forwards.

Can you even imagine how utterly horrible that would be if the bike is on select?
First generation pokémon doesn't have the select button for fast item equipment.
Yep, thought of that after posting.
Did not know that.
Ban select.

ok wait WHAT THEY GOT THE FILE BACK? :O
please someone explain?

It was in a save state. I linked a gif I made of them resetting it.
I think the people actively trying to prevent progress in any way they can are the ones really ruining the purity of it. It's a waste to constantly get stuck in menus.

I think there's better way. For about 10 seconds or so, count all inputs. Then execute the one with most votes. Repeat.
If you look at how fast the list is scrolling, depending on how the emulator works, it's definitely possible that it managed to register all of the soft reset buttons between two frames and interpreted it as the same time.

60HZ refresh, that's about 30ms. Not impossible to do, but very hard to both coordinate and have happen at random. If this only happens once every 2 1/2 days of constant running, it's not so bad.
Yes.
I can just see it running out of steps before leaving the first zone, I'm not sure if the optimum route is even possible with this many inputting the controls.
The bottleneck is probably the IRC bot interpreting the commands. The emulator seems to have absolutely no problem running the game at full speed, which isn't really a surprise considering the platform, but if there's 15 000 people chatting instead of 200, the chat bot is going to have to parse a lot more stuff, which could lead to hitches where a lot of buttons are pressed very quickly.
Looks like he restarted the parsing part of the stream and it runs ten times better now, so something has been fixed at least temporarily.

We spent over 14 hours in Cerulean yesterday... and then again for a bit this morning. I'll take anywhere but Cerulean at this point!

I'm kind of fascinated to see just how far this will go before everyone involved loses interest
Yeah I know, but that was due to Misty, Destroyer of Worlds. They got Lt. Surge so quick earlier, it looked like there was hope for progress!
Edit: Then again, they did take few hours to use Cut.

Wait they beat the Vermillion Gym? How the hell did they manage the trashcan puzzle?
Shockingly easily.
