I watched them trying to use CUT for about 15 minutes on Saturday. It was hypnotic. No idea how they managed to get as far as they have

Over thirty thousand people all trying to control the same video game character. That's your Cronenberg movie right there.

lollll at the chat window, the blurts of people struggling to assert the correct course of action, the anguished proposals that we all just stay calm and work together
DOWN AND RIGHT BUT MOSTLY DOWNwe need to get through that one square hole in the mazeWE MUST USE THE WALL TO GUIDE US
i hope this gets logged and made into a book

That reminds me of that 'team building' exercise 'Helium Sticks'.

it's like a cross between a glitching defective game, a lunatic asylum, and a disaster movie, every fifteenth commenter thinks they're gene hackman in 'the poseidon adventure' when they're actually samuel l. jackson in 'deep blue sea'

omg they're still in that same maze
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 05:06 (ten years ago) link
Haha, yeah, this has been doing my head in. Truly a work of art.

They just had a plebiscite (apparently now a rolling permanent plebiscite?) on 'anarchy' (what we've been watching) vs 'democracy' (new system). Democracy won, so this may get a lot more boring, except for the possibility of watching frustrated competent voters up against nefarious saboteur spammers.
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 14:45 (ten years ago) link
How far did they get in the game befor the plebiscite
― 龜, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 14:48 (ten years ago) link
The winning move would have been to keep it running and wait to see if enough attention died off so that a core group of devotees could control the game enough to advance
No clue, I've never played Pokemon so I can't tell! I expect that once they get past something particularly damning like this maze, the popular will to maintain "democracy" will collapse and anarchy will reign once more.
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 14:59 (ten years ago) link
Winning move would've been to launch a separate instance of the game with the democracy version and run it in tandem with the anarchy version
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:15 (ten years ago) link
hahahah there's a democracy/anarchy slider, this is genius
― Nhex, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:21 (ten years ago) link
It is genius. So now as well as people typing 'left', 'right', etc., people are spamming 'democracy' and 'anarchy' to make the slider move. Meanwhile, the player character is taking ten minutes to cross a room.
― an office job is as secure as a Weetabix padlock (snoball), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:27 (ten years ago) link
Now we're stuck in a corner, and people are spamming 'left', which means we're stuck facing a wall.
― an office job is as secure as a Weetabix padlock (snoball), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:30 (ten years ago) link
they added multiple input commands to the democracy mode too, like left2down2
― Nhex, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:31 (ten years ago) link
sadly with 70,000+ viewers, i don't think you can even get into the chat room anymore
― Nhex, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:32 (ten years ago) link
xp Ah I see. I thought that was just a bunch of feebs who couldn't spell.
― an office job is as secure as a Weetabix padlock (snoball), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:32 (ten years ago) link
That one way maze was painful to watch. Now all they have to do is walk left across a room towards a (I think) gym leader.
― an office job is as secure as a Weetabix padlock (snoball), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 15:39 (ten years ago) link
Tried it but after about four commands my chat locked up badly

...i'll check back later to see if they ever get out of this maze

there's a couple areas later in the game that will be uncompletable in anarchy mode though, that 1-room maze that prompted the change is far from the worst it gets
