I think the memes went insane as well. Actively going to the pc to deposit your second best Pokemon is just stupid IMO. I wanted a Pokemon playthrough, I got it, and then it suddenly revolved around the memes instead of the memes being a fun addition. The added system just adds to the chaos, democracy or not.
Its totally diminishing past successes. It took them 12 hours on the ledge, which now would take them 20 minutes, if at all.
Bleh.
This whole thing is a big analogy for 1900's Europe, right?

This voting thing is just annoying. I'm done with the stream.
Not if people make anarchy spam bots.
The only redeeming option would be if there was only 1 vote for democracy allowed per day and once the chat manages to change to democracy, its only active for a single hour. That way you'd still have 23 hours of actually interesting play.

Ohhh I see. This shit is like RL with government regulation and whatnot.

The chats really boring now. 99% of it is just anarchy and democracy stuff. And I'm on a public computer so I cant use any scripts to get rid of it.
Of course they would have overcome it eventually. Might have taken a few months, but eventually they'd been through.
I'd even go as far as too say that this might be annoying enough for a movement to emerge and jump ship to another "pure" stream.

This democracy thing kinda sucks

And another 2,500 people take your place.
And before that it was just button inputs. Really not very different. You need the scripts to catch anything.
To be fair, now we *have* the key, it may not be a bad idea to get out, heal up, and visit the PC (ulp) to populate those last two slots. A full team would give an edge on Giovanni.

It dropped 5,000 viewers since we completed the maze.
When I saw the topic title for the first time a few days ago, I thought that someone is just playing Pokemon on Twitch. Today I started wondering why the hell is this topic still on the first page... And then I noticed it had 14k (wtf...) replies, so I finally clicked. This must be the craziest thing I have ever seen.
Hey, thanks.
But I would have to create an account to use it.
How come?

The ledge was a single corridor. The puzzle was around 10 of those, each wrong decision taking you back to the beginning.
yeah you can. just copy the script. go to the url bar, type "javascript: " with a space after the colon, paste the script and hit enter.
how is this any different than being full of redundant buttons?
At least there is another level of meta and strats. While people are pushing their preferred government, they aren't pressing relevant buttons so those that are are that much more powerful.
Democracy/anarchy is at its most powerful right before it's voted out.
And? Whats the issue with this taking weeks and the whole playthrough taking 1-2 years instead of 1 month? That was why this stream felt so rewarding before. Democracy just means going through the motions and is ALWAYS an almost instant win, no reward in that.

The original concept: 3 thousand monkeys at typewriters creating Shakespeare.
The democratic system: 90 thousand monkeys voting on whether they like bananas or not.
Yeah you can get more agreement, but you'll never have that monkey that finishes Romeo and Juliet... you'll just have a lot of banana peels.

So true.Oh, looks like the battle between democracy and anarchy cripples any progress.. just like RL.
I thought it was supposed to be put in the chat itself.
Just misunderstood for a second.
Chat's much better now. Thanks.

That people would have lost interest and the game would have never be completed. Chaos can only led you this far.

Alright time to go back to actually playing the game plz
Some people believe we're supposed to win this, even thought that wasn't the point at all. It was so see how far we could get with all the ongoing chaos and troubles.
If the game can't be won under the current setting, then that should be it. This democracy just makes everything hollow. Of course 80k people know how to play Pokemon. We've known that for over 15 years.

I think I did it right this time, but the computer gave me a popup window saying that script thing isn't allowed.
Blame the democrats.

This is stupid because not only is the democracy system pointless but it makes the anarchy system seem stupid too. Why wander around aimlessly when you have the option to be more controlled? All of a sudden watching red run around isn't as fun anymore because the option of avoiding it is there. Yeah I'm done too.
Yep, I cant get over how stupid this all is now.
I really hope the streamer abolishes the system again and we forget about it quickly.

democracy is a lie that allows the rule of the few
