You guys came into here looking to, ironically, berate me for berating TPP.

No one even knew your opinion on TPP before clicking this topic lol

Nah we could talk about the theory/philosophy of an 'open platform' game or the blurred line between open forum and moderation or the differences between playing Pokemon and Twitch playing Pokemon. I think some of the people that disagree have worded it in a way that emphasizes their point alone and that's fine. It's not everyone doing it, it's you, not just in this topic, it's just how you tend to post it seems. I wouldn't say "Everything you say" unless I meant you. Otherwise I might say "everything everyone says".

How much time would you spend on the twitch stream when you weren't banned?

I check out the channel every once in a while but not really too often, only if their the only ones streaming or something. It's not a specific TPP channel, they were doing a marathon, left, and put TPP on.

I think the original "spirit" of TPP was that even when everyone is trying together to accomplish a goal (winning the game), coordination problems mean that things that would be trivial for a single person becomes difficult in a group.

It's not about "expressing yourself".

I think all the spirit was was just seeing what unfolds when you give Twitch chat the controller. With all the different people, beating the game seemed like a legitimate challenge and effort, and almost happenstance kinda like the typing monkey Shakespeare thing. With the amount of people and stuff, it did start becoming expression in some way.

Nah, it was a different game at that point.
