I don't get it though. How is it less rewarding to have few enough people where it essentially becomes a coordinated democracy of people who still care, and an insane 80K person democracy that can slide into anarchy at any point and still has to coordinate and play a game cooperatively, with lag, trolls and chaos to combat. If you want to see low player counts succeed, I think there are like 15 other channels doing that right now. It isn't just the system that is making this a notable accomplishment, it is the amount of people participating and the back and forth of group mentality. Anarchy was back on one screen after the maze was done. I rather have that then wait three months. At the end of the day the most important thing was that every action was still controlled by the players through chat. That is really the only "purity" needed to keep the "twitch plays pokemen" sentiment alive.
