The channel's gotten 1.6 million viewers total. I got curious and compared it to some big name speedrunners: Speeddemosarchivesda (the one for Awesome Games Done Quick) - 42.9 million Cosmo (Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time) - 21.5 million Siglemic (Mario 64) - 17.5 million Werster (Pokemon games played by one person) - 9.8 million

I figure the 3 days we saved at the Surge Puzzle will now be spent here.

horriblePencilist posted:The trash can puzzle was dumb luck. Besides, it was more likely to just turn around and hit A. In this case, we have to move 12 spots without anyone hitting down. This time around the trolls have a much easier time undoing progress. i'm sure any troll with get bored in a week or two when they are still stuck in the same spot

I thought it was decided that it needs to be two downs in a row? And shame on those in this thread calling for the admin to disable certain buttons. That defies the entire experiment. Eventually the masses will move on and we'll down to a more permissible volume.

Imagine this with Earthbound. Among a million other things, you've got your dad calling you every so often to say "hey, don't you think you should take a break?"

It's really great seeing people asking down to be banned, as they overshoot the small passage and have to go down anyway

I've been trying to think of other games this concept would work with, but Pokemon is unique in that it's an RPG where the penalty for losing is incredibly minor. (You don't get kicked to the title screen or anything, you just lose some money and go back to the Pokemon Center.) EDIT: A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:You could probably make millions running something like this with SNES SimCity and selling prints of the resulting map. I actually thought about SimCity, but the cursor-based interface would likely just make it impossible for the stream to select anything or get near the menus. It'd just be an arrow shaking in the middle of the screen. Rocketlex fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Feb 15, 2014 |

I hope that the input being fed to the emulator is actually random, with a human player occasionally taking the wheel to make progress. The real social experiment is watching people perceive and get irrationally angry at "trolls" that don't exist. You could probably make millions running something like this with SNES SimCity and selling prints of the resulting map. Edit: I was misremembering the SNES port as being completely tile based selections, but I guess it does use a cursor like every other version. Any "light" turn based strategy game like Military Madness for TurboGrafx would probably work well. A FUCKIN CANARY!! fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Feb 15, 2014 |

I'm pretty sure this is the only acceptable soundtrack for the stream. Just add a crowd of Moonbase Alpha voices calling out every direction and yelling at each other for being trolls.

Would it ruin the experiment if an admin briefly took control to steer them past a particularly hard part?

There's a bit of a difference between pulling a rat through a difficult part of a maze since it's unable to do it and replacing the rat in the last good spot after it jumps out of the maze entirely. This is within the intent and specification of the experiment, a soft reset wasn't. edit: also this is still hilarious so I'm calling the experiment a success

Forget an admin taking control, it needs to be set to subscriber only to beat the safari zone.

There's already been stated intent to get around having chat obtain Surf from the Safari Zone legitimately, which is theoretically doable outside of the area being gated with an entry fee and running out of funds. I don't really see much difference in getting Surf within a 500 step limit and going through a maze that resets progress if you go the wrong way during single-tile wide straights.

The funds part can be overcome by codes though. The plan is to just outright give them Surf.
