Maybe we'll go into Dictatorship mode for the half hour it would take to just win the game with a coherent strategy.

The royal freakout this would cause would be completely worth all 100 E4 runs.

I'm not sure what the point was of having a deadline in the first place.

I always thought it was just to formally establish when the next game was going to begin, because the E4 were going to have their rear end handed to them in the next day or two. It ended up being interpreted as a deadline when it turned out that wasn't exactly a realistic scenario.

I think the mob has descended to Democracy because they're just sick as gently caress of this run and want it over with.

The streamer said it wasn't really a hard deadline, and that they just overestimated Twitch's ability to beat the E4. Unless they've posted since then indicating otherwise, I'm sure there'll be an extension if the E4 aren't beat in time.

Anarchy only has to win one vote for it to vanish, though. Which is definitely part of why things have been so messy this time around, in my opinion.

EDIT: Aaaaaand democracy's over. :unsmigghh:

Nope, we're still hilariously incompetent.

I assume it's one of the steamer's social experiment to see if a pressured twitch can get things done faster.

The streamer always start a new game on Saturday, so I always assume it was countdown for some new feature or how long before streamer stream a new game after twitch beaten the game.

If he ever does decide to hardcap the E4 run, I hope the streamer takes over the controls and quickly beats the E4 with our team, just as a 'gently caress you idiots.'

The streamer doesnt monitor progress 24/7 so it's a way of saying "hey if you guys have beat the game I'll start up the next one at this time".

e: Whatever happens will be good. I'm sure being the first unsuccessful run will fetch some good fanart. It would also be nice to finally accomplish this. Personally I hope the streamer puts on permanent democracy until the game is beaten, just to gently caress with people.

I don't know why people stopped making "don't forget, you're here forever" macros, because this is the perfect time for them.

Although I suppose given the length of this, one could have been made when we were "only" in the first day or two of the E4, and I missed or forgot about it.

They've been clean sweeping him for a while now. It is the rest of the Elite 4 that is giving them trouble.

I'll admit to really looking forward to Fire Red, just to see the storyline that develops around Red's second adventure, and the Return of the Helix.

Edit: Through 2 with 0 down.

It's amusing how almost all our Pokemon are extremely easy to catch.

Mightyena: Poochyena is on a ridiculous number of routes
Tentacruel: Tentacool is on all the sea routes
Vileplume: We have literally two dozen Oddish from the Safari Zone
Hariyama: Picked up from Victory Road
Graveler: Ditto

Well, all our rare and good stuff is either released or lost to digital limbo, so we're stuck with whatever was convenient to replace it. So now we have a team of Hoenn's most common junk.
