This is pretty much 70k+ people playing one game of pokemon using chat commands ("start", "up", "down", "left", "right", "a", "b"). As you'd expect, this is chaos, but there has been a surprisingly amount of progress made. Right now, Red (the main character) has Pidgeot, oddish, farfetch'd, and rattata in the lineup.

This is hilarious. How do they get anything done with everyone able to make a command? Or is there a voting system?
There's two methods, Democracy (where people vote on what the next command is) and anarchy (where every command is performed). When enough people type "democracy" or "anarchy" the command method will switch. It took a whole day to get the lift key and now we're about to fight Giovanni to get sliph scope for Lavender town tower.

Pretty awesome. They need to remove the anarchy option so to not get bogged down by all the anarchy trolls.
What's the point then? If anything the anarchy option made this what is it. Democracy was just implemented today, before that they were able to beat 4 gym leaders. Its most interesting to see how far it gets with the chaos.
They got democracy. But now all the people that wanted democracy are voting on the controls, and the people that want anarchy are voting as such. I can't believe I'm watching this.
