What's this new shit?
Welp it was fun folks, time to wrap it up
Is that legit?
The Helix isn't too please with you, either.

Yeah I don't think this is real
Also the stream was doing "perfectly fine?" they made no progress for an entire day.

It's pretty lame if he accepted that condition.
Then I guess they should change the "anarchy" name to what it really is: Normalcy.
Thanks
what did I miss? The hell is this.

The democracy nightmare is over with cries of start9 ringing throughout the world

Looks like TeamAnarchy is trying to bury the needle.

Not at all. We can plead with them to vote as we wish, remonstrate with them for not voting as we wish, and do any manner of things except coerce them to vote as we wish. Anarchy implies lack of hierarchy, not lack of communication or emotion.
Democracy didn't even last 10 minutes before we were switched back to anarchy. And in those 10 minutes all it managed to do was end a conversation with an NPC and open the start menu 50 times. 
Now we are back to progressing as anarchy as the people have spoken.
The system works

I don't much enjoy watching ninety-thousand people slowly do a Let's Play of Pokemon. That's why I'm annoyed at this whole democracy mechanic. It's a fascinating meta-game, for sure, but it's also making the actual progress slow and un-interestsing. It could have been implemented much better.
EDIT: And we're back! Maybe there is hope.

The revolutionary masses tire of the bourgeois system.

Yeah well I'm all for implementing it when we get stuck for 20+ jours, but for god's sake take it out now.
They did this earlier too.
That's what you're doing, democracy or not.

Great. Democracy is just going to be villainized now, so even if they remove it today and implement it when we're stuck for a long time again, everyone will just START9 throughout Victory Road.
Great.
Great.

I think rather than the vote thing it would be better if they "automatically" switched to democracy for a little while after being stalled in the same place for 12 hours or so, like with the maze. As others have said, people will probably shift to democracy too quickly when things get tough rather than try and figure out a strategy for handling it with anarchy.
Democracy is boring, but being stuck in the same place for a day is also pretty boring.

If they really succeed in bringing back Anarchy permanently, the streamer need to load up a savestate from before we exited the maze and got the lift key. It's the only way that everything can be set right.
and we know that's real because...?

I don't see what's the problem with more options.
9. Always 9.
Its implementation is pretty amazing. Anarchy will always be defacto method. Trolls will always go for democracy into start9
Unless a majority of users want democracy to finish a fiendish puzzle, democracy will just be start9 and anarchy will take over in a heartbeat.
For democracy to be truly in use, twitch would have to agree to use it.
I may be biased here, but being a programmer myself, which this guy obviously is makes me doubt it for the spelling mistakes alone.
It was interesting to see the anarchy votes really start to pickup once it looked a bit more decisive. I think a lot of it was a shift from start9 spamming to anarchy, but there was likely some mob mentality in there. Or as others have pointed out, the anarchists used it as a strategy. Incredible.
"Perfectly fine" can be relative, depending on what your goals are for this.

Do you see the people type?
typing a song of angry men?
It is the picture of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the commands of your heart
Echoes the beating of start9
There is a life about to start
When anarchy comes!

Nonsense. Maybe it would have taken a week. So what. That´s what this experiment was about. Of course you can play through the game if you plan every move. There are let´s plays for that.
