A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Seriously, it's a miracle they got as far as they have.

The admin disabled the step count so the game wouldn't be Unwinnable.

No he hasn't. He said he might later if it becomes a problem, but I don't think he has yet.

They could still run out of money from wasting all the Safari Balls though

Also this. They've already dug out of the zone three times.

Fully expecting a Kangaskhan or Chansey or Tauros to become the next memetic entity of the run.

Unlikely. Catching those is extremely rare, even without the button mashing and lag.

-slinks in- I'm awake everyone. What all did I miss?

Twitch is in the Safari Zone in democracy!

Seriously, it's a miracle they got as far as they have.

I'll definitely agree to that!

@Yeller: Hence the memetic potential if the RNG decides to humor them :V

Man, I'm continually impressed with how ignorant the voters in democracy are. It's like noone understands the lag at all.

You'd think they'd have figured it out after the first minute or two. I did just by watching.

Carnifex has been trying humanizations for a while now.

I'm still not exactly a fan of the results, but they are getting better.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

He has done some decent realistic ones in the past for some Pony art project things, so it seems he's just trying to find a more 'simple' style.

Man people are such idiots. How hard is it to figure out that there's a lag guys? I'll be really mad if democracy fails at the zone.

So how exactly is this working anyway? Is it like people playing Pokemon and people are voting on things?

Yes. Basically, people type in a command to vote on what to do, and every 20 seconds the votes are added up and the most popular one is done. The problem is that there's a 20-30 second lag between when you type a command and when it actually goes through so you need to vote for what should be done one step ahead of what's actually on the screen. Unfortunately most people still haven't realized this somehow so they constantly overshoot on every turn and get endlessly stuck in battles.

@Ed: Just look at the Twitch Plays Pokemon page. In short, somebody hooked up an IRC bot to a chat room that takes commands entered in the chat (up, down, left, right, a, b, start, select) and enters them into an emulated game of Pokemon. As the chat has tens of thousands of people entering commands, the overall effect is "two people fighting over a controller multiplied by thousands". And then it's highly subject to Memetic Mutation.

Ah OK. It's almost like a Pokemon reality show with live voting.

Except that most of the voters are well intentioned idiots. Of course the alternative is anarchy, where the inputs are pretty much random. This is what tehy do most of the time, but unfortunately, there's no way to get through the Sfari Zone on Anarchy.

[up][up]That's only when "democracy" is active. At first all commands went through, resulting in it just being pure button mashing. Then when it took 2 days to clear the Rocket HQ, the admin created the democracy mode that Story described. But because it made things move so slowly, everyone rebelled against it, and as a result the admin created a system where users can vote on Anarchy (every move is entered) and Democracy (the most popular moves are entered), and it's been shifting back and forth since.
