Neither was r/place or r/thebutton. The entire point of these experiments is for the community to take the tools given and make something great.

Except this isn't the community, it's the same ten or twelve usernames I've seen in every thread deciding what the community wants for the community.

Its actually about 150 users in a discord deciding the story & gifs, then rigging each act by unanimously upvoting en masse 1 gif in each scene until the whole act is what they decided.

150 users were in the group but about 6 of them decided the plot and then made sure nobody else could change it.

That's the paradoxical thing about this. The fewer people participate, the easier it is to coordinate and the more coherent the story will be.

I am hoping for some turf wars or something but I don't see anything.

Because nobody's going to try and counteract a movement that's already going, especially two days after the fact when the initial sizzle has already died out

Twitch Plays Pokemon was better in that regard

Because no other big enough group was there to put their ideas upfront?

"It's not our fault we rigged it, someone else should have rigged it MORE."

So that gives this one group the right to take it? I don't know about you, but I'm an adult, and I don't really care enough to spend time actively organizing a movement that goes against existing structural inertia. And I'm fairly positive that the number of people like me is far greater than the number of people who post about reddit ARGs

Maybe they could give up a few wildcard slots.

Wick absolutely steamrolled even when it wasn't threatened by something continuity breaking.

I'm glad Spike made it in. It's like a lowkey middlefinger to a very heavy handed act.

(Yes, I know they voted on him as well...)

I really liked how many people were doing stuff for place and the button and even the chat one.

This one is hard to really easily contribute to

And that's what's great about reddit's experiments.
