Damn I was sure we will use Dig before picking up Lift Keys.

Oh well, progress, at last.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Don't worry, anarchy returns nearly instantly. It was why the first try through the maze failed at the last second. People wanted anarchy the second there was a battle but then stepped back into the maze as soon as it was done. Navigation puzzles, expect to see democracy. I will be curious to see how things like the PC work out with the new system. I wonder how the whole Eevee divide would have panned out with the new system.



The compelling reason is to get back to anarchy mode and progress. That maze stopped progress dead.

I was being sarcastic , I find it silly people think this goes against anything when I'm sure the spirit and intent originally wasn't to have nearly 100k people trying to play at once or getting stuck for a while day somewhere .

 

[emb]

Honestly I'd prefer a middle ground. Have a vote each second or half second. Get rid of the number at the end (if they haven't already).

 

[Mistel]

Let anarchy reign supreme It's far more enjoyable than methodically doing it.

 

[okayfrog]

I just don't get the 'fun'' of seeing these guys stuck in ledges and mazes for hours.

"But, but, anarchy?!" They cry.

Is that fun to watch? I don't get it.

It's not necessarily fun to watch, no, but you're also not supposed to watch the stream 24 hours straight like some people seemingly are. You pop in, see how it's going, and then pop out. It sorta should be an endurance test. If you can't stick along, you're going to miss some good stuff, and that means you don't deserve to be a part of those neat things like getting past the ledge or watching the Surge battle.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

"democracy is slow!"

Anarchy just took 2 min to get a damn pokeball in the floor.

 

[mclem]

So, just out of interest...

You can't toss the lift key, can you?

 

[benoit489]

FINALLY! Now we can get back to important things like checking our Pokedex to make sure it still works.

 

[Anustart]

Go watch a let's play if you wanted smooth, coordinated play?

 

[C.Olimar788]

It's funny how elitist people can be about a stream of several thousand people attempting to play through Pokemon Red.

 

[MrJustinius]

Chat's dead for me.

But Lift Key success!!! Nearly 2 days of wasted effort sorted by a bit of simple democracy.

 

[Archaix]

Interesting? How thousands of people using inputs either randomly, for fun, to troll or to reach a goal interesting for 1 one day and not getting anywhere? If I wanted that I would have watched the RNG stream....

How is it better to watch people slowly play a game knowing full well what is going to happen? I don't even understand how people feel like something's been accomplished under this method. Oh, hooray, you mean people somehow managed to figure out how to play a 20 year old game they've played already? What a surprise.

 

[KojiKnight]

Impossible with the 20-40 seconds of twitch lag.

 

[Freaky Fred]

Ok anarchy, now lets save 5 times and dig the hell outta here like we always do

 

[Mistel]

So, just out of interest...

You can't toss the lift key, can you?

It's a key item I think, so no.

 

[Übermatik]

We did it!... Aaaand now we're back to tossing HM01 and walking into walls.

 

[Gawge]

70% of commands still seem to be anarchy/democracy.

This thing is getting so deep. Allowing people to vote wastes so much time and energy.

 

[thehunter01]

I actually like this system, this will give us progress on the best solution for sure.

92k people god dam.

 

[Passive Assassin]

BASED DEMOCRACY

 

[Nyoro SF]

I like the tandem of democracy and anarchy. It adds a cool dynamic.

 

[entremet]

Go watch a let's play if you wanted smooth, coordinated play?

I'm questioning the ''fun'' in watching it that's all.

It is a stream. It is not?

Personally, I'm just looking at the Google Doc twice a day. I do agree it would be fun without the lag. But the lag kills the participation aspect.

 

[CassSept]

We did it!... Aaaand now we're back to tossing HM01 and walking into walls.

As Helix intended.

 

[HK-47]

This thing is quickly swinging towards democracy again.

 

[KojiKnight]

70% of commands still seem to be anarchy/democracy.

This thing is getting so deep. Allowing people to vote wastes so much time and energy.

70% of 100k still leaves 30k to make the real decisions.

As Helix intended.

Amen!

 

[BinaryPork2737]

The feel of progress.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Go watch a let's play if you wanted smooth, coordinated play?

Nah, I'd rather watch 95,000 people minus X # of trolls coordinating. Democracy or not, the stream is interesting.

Lol. "Spirit" of the stream.

 

[SuperSah]

BASED ANARCHY.

 

[Majine]

Democracy taking over the driving seat shortly.

 

[okayfrog]

The feel of undeserved progress.

ftfy
Enjoy your hollow victory.

 

[Anustart]

I'm questioning the ''fun'' in watching it that's all.

It is a stream. It is not?

For me, the only time it's fun to watch was when they were fiddling with a pc. With democracy it becomes fun to watch never :/

 

[DaBoss]

There shouldn't be a vote. It should be implemented by the streamer when we need it.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

How is it better to watch people slowly play a game knowing full well what is going to happen? I don't even understand how people feel like something's been accomplished under this method. Oh, hooray, you mean people somehow managed to figure out how to play a 20 year old game they've played already? What a surprise.

And I don't even understand what people feel when something was just accomplished by pure luck/RNG....

 

[TrickRoom]

So now it's over Ninety thousand monkeys on the typewriter.

 

[Brazil]

I'm questioning the ''fun'' in watching it that's all.

It is a stream. It is not?

Watching anarchy is fun and hypnotic in all the wrong ways. Anarchy also makes any progress remarkable.

Democracy is just plain boring.

And I don't even understand what people feel when something was just accomplished by pure luck/RNG....

Pure luck?

The RNG streams are that-a-way, breh.

 

[everyday math]

Ok so now do we head to Big Boss?

I like this duel system. Interesting.

 

[Trey]

So, just out of interest...

You can't toss the lift key, can you?

no.

 

[Kouriozan]

Anarchy because some men just want to watch the world burn.

 

[Jokab]

Democracy coming back in full force. Good to see.

 

[PreyingShark]

I don't mind democracy as long as it's used as a last resort.

 

[KojiKnight]

I'm not enjoying this "democracy for walking, anarchy for battles" that chat seems to be going with.

This is the one thing I truly feared... democracy is tedious but quicker even if it's a huge pain to watch... so many will prefer to use that... but democracy kills the fun of the run.

 

[Vico]

I agree, they should remove the democracy aspect now.
Only add it when it's clear we're not going anywhere.

 

[CrocMother]

Chat won't load

 

[AcademicSaucer]

92k viewers , damn .

 

[okayfrog]

And I don't even understand what people feel when something was just accomplished by pure luck/RNG....

Because at it's core, it's still being controlled by 80k+ people at once. It might be luck, but it's also a glorious miracle.

 

[KHlover]

How is it better to watch people slowly play a game knowing full well what is going to happen? I don't even understand how people feel like something's been accomplished under this method. Oh, hooray, you mean 100k people somehow managed to figure out how to play a 20 year old game they've played already without having to play against 40s lag, trolls and simultaneous input of 100k people? What a surprise.

.

 

[Professor Renegade]

Did they finally escape the maze? I was asleep for the past 9 hours, what did I miss?

 

[Ray Wonder]

back to full time b pressing..

 

[HK-47]

The Lift Key is the true god now. Hallow be thy unlocks.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Pure luck?

The RNG streams are that-a-way, breh.

So you mean people congragated and made decisions colectively?

I wonder how is that called?

 

[DaBoss]

Watching anarchy is fun and hypnotic in all the wrong ways. Anarchy also makes any progress remarkable.

Democracy is just plain boring.

Exactly.

Anarchy got us 4 FREAKING GYM BADGES! 4!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a sight to behold. Of course, that maze would be nearly impossible without democracy. We needed Democracy there.

Now the chat is a bit fucked up because we have to vote, so pretty much a good chunk of people are just voting anarchy/democracy.
