Basically, the creator tried changing the stream to where chat inputs would tally up over the course of a number of seconds (I think ten seconds) and the one with the most "votes" in that space of time would be the action that was taken. It would also allow for combinations to be voted for (for example, "Left3" would move Red to the left by three spaces if it won the vote). The hivemind referred to it as "Democracy" and the original form of playing as "Anarchy".

There was a large outcry from the hivemind, with many complaints focused on how the stream was fun because of the anarchy and how it was moving comparatively much slower than before (ten second gap between each action). A large number of people began posting "???????? RIOT ????????" in protest and there was also a protest/troll that involved spamming "Start9" to completely lock the stream down.

Eventually the stream owner reverted it to the original form, but then shortly changed it to have the tug-of-war as seen in the stream, with chat inputs of "Anarchy" and "Democracy" now registering in the input logs and affecting the tug-of-war. It's assumed that whichever side wins will have the stream operate in the appropriate manner.

In other news, both Drowzee and Flareon have been deposited in the PC, as well as (from what I've heard) the Helix Fossil and the S.S. Ticket. The current goal is still to get to the Lift Key and use it to get to Giovan
