This point was explored more fully in the Twitch Plays Pokemon community, where anarchy vs. democracy in the game caused a significant cultural crisis: http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1y8r6d/i...

tl;dr: anarchy produces all the fun crazy ridiculous happenings, it's what makes TPP fun. If it's "taking too long" and you want to beat the game quickly just play solo; beating the game fast isn't the point.

15-20 seconds seems like it might be too much, at least with the number of users online now...

Right. It needs a Democracy mode. maybe even a Democracy/Anarchy slider controlled by Q and E.

Users should only be able to vote once (maybe be allowed to change it, but right now someone can overrule the consensus by hitting an arrow key as many times as they can)

Nice work though!

Isn't that a metaphor for democracy in America today?

dbieber · on March 20, 2014

Yep, my bad. Added that too now. (changing not allowed)
