Welp, they blacked out. Time for the Rock Tunnel Ledge: Part 2!  :o

I guess running around in circles is slightly more dangerous when there's a battle every few steps, eh?

If anyone wants it I've uploaded the script and all it's components here. With minor editing it should work with any lua scripting capable emulator by changing the emulator specific commands.

This really reminds me of XKCD time.

It's a bunch of people establishing a community around random little things. In both cases, the material consists of long boring periods, with brief spikes of neat things.

So for three days this poor trainer has had the voices of Twitch screaming in his head, telling him conflicting instructions and then screaming at each other when he follows them, correct? Why did it take me so long to notice this?

A perfect description of the current state of the game.

I really wonder when the last time they fought a battle was. At least a good bout of LEERLEERLEERLEER spam would break the monotony...

There was a battle just a couple hours ago, they managed to get past the ledge but wiped before they could get to the next pokemon center.

I'm going to make an RTD where you all fight for control of Red.

Don't forget to include such essential elements as:

* The almighty Helix Fossil, along with false prophets Moonstone and Nugget
* The bubble-spewing Rattata, and his companion Mr. Dig
* The endless challenge of training our servants in the art of tree-cutting
* The Ledge of Eternity, tempting unwary travelers with its siren whisper of "down"

Twitch-Pokemon Movement Theorem: Anything that requires fine movement, to such a degree where it can be easily canceled or failed by one or two commands, will result in a delay of at-least 1+ hours. Examples include trying to cut the damn tree down and trying to get through the path that can be oh-so-easily jumped off.

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

It occurs to me that Pokemon can actually be brute forced because it completely lacks a lose state. Theoretically you could set up a bot that spams buttons that could eventually win the game although as previously mentioned the Safari Zone would likely be the biggest wall.

If only I could find a video of the Human one at the 12 hour point, to see which one is doing 'better'.

It feels like the RNG stream is doing worse than Twitch chat. It's been running for over 12 hours (game time), and hasn't even reached Viridian Forest yet. Besides, an RNG is very likely to start backtracking at some point (50-50 versus moving forwards). The dev's FAQ states that the RNG has a bug that biases it slightly towards up/right inputs, which means it'll probably get stuck in Cerulean (if it even gets that far).

Twitch chat might not progress very fast, but they also don't backtrack very often.  :)

Keep in mind that it's day 3 for the Human stream.
