The Voting Game: Difference between revisions

On the first day of The Voting Game, Joe created the channel #the-voting-channel in JADS. Using this channel was how users would be able to vote for games. He configured the channel so that only people with the "Lili and Some Guy" role on the server (the role which only Joe and his wife Lili have) could type in the channel or add new reactions to messages. Then in that channel, he typed one message for each game that was being voted on. He also added one reaction to each of these messages. A reaction is an emote attached to a message. If someone chooses to add a reaction to a message using a certain emote, it makes that emote appear below the message with the number 1 next to it. Then another user can click on that emote to add the same reaction to the message, increasing the number next to it by 1. They can also click on it again to remove their reaction, decreasing the number by 1. And because of the permissions Joe set for the channel, only he and Lili could add new reactions to the messages, but everyone else could still click on them to increase or decrease the number. This is what Joe used as a system to let people vote on the games: To vote for a game, you would click on the reaction beneath it. He gave most of the games a [[Jphpog|jphPog]] reaction, apart from some which he gave other emotes. He also added some fake games as jokes, like "I'm a Witcher" and "Touhou 21 ~ The Revenge of David Cage". Also, only people with the roles "Twitch Subscriber" or "Patron" could view the channel in the first place, which limited only those people to be able to vote.

I will make this unequivocally clear: if you want to "save" the line of text "A Bomb" from culling itself, you must get both the A Bomb and Dragon Angel into states of //Clear Outlier// at the same time in the same round. So example: by Wednesday 11 AM EST, the A Bomb must be the clear winner of the the high vote (but not higher than what Zero Escape had), and the Angel must be the clear lowest candidate.

Radiant Angel of Reckoning! Votos the Merciful. You have provoked her wrath after breaking destiny and saving The Bomb That Was Meant to Explode, and ascending The Angel That Was Meant To Ascend Only Others. Votos arrives onto The Voting Veldt in a dormant state. She requires votes to awaken her powers.

The emojis beneath Votos and each of the training dummies represent the reacts which Joe added to them. The down arrows are the downvote buttons, and the other emojis are the upvote buttons. Note that Votos doesn't have a downvote button.

"After a day, Votos wasn't doing too well, because she wasn't getting to 401. Not only that, there was a conspiracy starting to form that because I had added Persona 4 as a surprise game and robbed Fire Emblem, they were like 'Joe clearly doesn't want to play Fire Emblem, and now look, he's added this thing that's clearly going to cull the top 10 games, where Fire Emblem is.' Meanwhile, the chads that wanted stuff like Deadly Premonition and 13 Sentinels were unvoting their games out of the top 10. [...] I realised that this was a problem, and I was like 'Okay, I can kill two birds with one stone here. So I want to quell this Fire Emblem conspiracy, and I also want to give Votos a chance and lower the threashold of what she can do.' So I did this."

At 20:30 UTC, Joe started streaming again for the first time in 9 days.<ref>https://youtu.be/w8QqBQZEZdM</ref> At the end of his last stream, he said that he'd be taking one week off streaming, meaning he shouldn't have come back until Tuesday. The title of the stream was "Resolving the Hellgate interactions caused by Davina Cage in the Voting Game through a clever use of marbles". Everyone who tuned in and hadn't been keeping track of what had gone on in JADS - probably at least 1,000 people - were bewildered. Joe then proceeded to give a breif update to chat on the state of things, in such a way that it came across as confusing as possible to those not in the know.

At 18:00 UTC, Joe went live again, this time with the title "The most ambitious crossover event in streamer vote-to-play games history".<ref>https://youtu.be/SnT5DqX2aKs</ref> We have now caught up to the recap stream, where all of these quotes have been coming from. Joe spent the first hour and 45 minutes of this stream explaining everything that had happened over the last 12 days, while showing Nodja's website and Weeby's meme album. During this segment, he made an important ruling regarding the final round:
