how dare a group of 40 thousand people on a 20 second delay not make ideal decisions.

If it were up to me I'd be releasing all the pokemon too.

We can get eevee, all we need is a water stone to make it evolve and we can use surf :downs:

We can fix this, all we have to do is go to the PC and deposit eevee, we've done this before :downs:

Now what? You have a grand total of one pokemon with weak moves. Assuming anyone even gets past the safari zone, assuming anyone gets past victory road, assuming anyone gets to the elite four, there is no backup plan. And you don't see how a bunch of people collectively thinking like this is horrifying when applied to actual real life situations.

Don't worry, I'm sure nobody is going to let a bunch of Internet users fly a space-probe to Mars, you can rest easy.

It's like, not everybody in that chat room takes it very seriously and do you fail to see it is amazing that they manage to cooperate as much as they are already? I mean, that is 40-50 thousand people all trying to control one game character. That doesn't carry over to any real-life situation I can think of. It's not one person playing the game and being horrifically inept at it, it is everyone competing against each other for control and the most determined or lucky ones getting their inputs through.

Strategy is almost invalid here.

Hi!
It's a bit farfetched to assume that people take the insane proposition to play a video game while sharing the controller with a thousand other people as seriously as they would take every day life deciscions. People aren't going to devote a lot of forethought to something they can barely control either. There also isn't much risk involved if you can just grind up other pokemon.

I can sort of see where you're coming from, but that analogy doesn't really work.

I think it's just the Lapras/Eevee and PC/Daycare decisions that he's talking about. In those cases there's a majority that wins out, and they've both been wrong so far.

Not only has RNG managed to release all it's pokemon aside from only a level 7 magikarp, but it managed to also lose all its money and now it really is completely stuck. People are claiming that the guy who is running it will reset it when he gets home. Maybe.

Eevee ruined everything. Not the pokemon itself, but ever since we had the option to pick it up the stream has been torn. If there ever was another ledge we'd sure as hell wouldn't make it.

There is no "wrong". The outcome of this stream matters not. Maybe people wanted Eevee because Eevee is cool, and wanted to use the PC because watching Red jump off of ledges for hours is not entertaining.

It's not really fair to say that they've made "wrong decisions" as they've made risky decisions that have backfired horribly.

Oh god, we've done it. We've used the PC without killing any Pokémon.

The problem is that Eevee and its evolutions (especially Jolteon and Vaporeon) are among the most loved Pokemon that exist. There really wasn't ever a doubt in my mind that they would end up with it and that's why I figured Vaporeon would be a safer bet, since we've already seen how depositing Pokemon has turned out.

I'm not saying we should take it seriously, I'm just saying as far as progression goes it's put itself in a foreseeable bad spot.

It seem like the only way any progress will be made at this point is if they succeed in releasing Eevee, even if that means releasing Pidgeot in the process.
