Democracy provided the light at the end of the tunnel which was necessary to keep hope alive and focus on the goal.

I think this stream is awesome but the amount of viewers is hurting it.. Would be cool to actually watch a chat actually work together to complete the game.. 100k is just too much chaos..

It's more like anarchy has to constantly vote for itself which interrupts its playstyle more. Anarchy requires more coordination and that's hard to do when you have to vote anarchy all the time. Democracy, on the other hand, is way easier because its slow pace helps the lag problem and most inputs are obvious.

Also, in anarchy, you can't even see what the chat is doing because "democracy" and "anarchy" are constantly knocking out all of the actual commands. It also shows that more people are voting anarchy/democracy than are playing the game.

Flareon being released and Drowzee being withdrawn was all done in Anarchy.

(This was done during the reign of Anarchy)

Perfect timing as well, Democracy had just started the counterpush, so there were few inputs interfering.

Haha, that makes it even better. Wish there was a video with chat shown, that had to have been crazy in there.

Anarchy and democracy are part of playing the game. Just relax and have faith in the helix.

Nah, the only thing really hurting it right now is the anarchy/democracy split. Democracy should really bugger off to its own stream.

If that's really how it has to be, they should have a period of voting and then let whoever wins take over for a period of time so that progress can actually be made.

Of course, that's ironic because how can people earnestly try to make progress if they don't vote democracy? Anarchy will fall whenever people want to get serious.

I gave it a chance but this voting system is bullshit. From the way the votes been going it's obvious most people want anarchy but they have to constantly fight to keep it there so actual inputs become secondary. The option should only be put there after a long stall in one place. Theres no need for democracy to move around in a town ffs.

Holy shit I haven't seen this in around 20 hours. What has happened?! False Prophet finally vanquished, democracy trying to creep its way in! Almighty Helix, guide us through this struggle. Abby is watching from the heavens.

All this proves is that voting is a distraction set up to make people feel like they're in control. When in reality, all it does is establish a false sense of freedom.
