The chat so far is worse than TwitchPlaysPokemon's chat back in the day, which is kinda funny actually. :P

  You probably don't care, but in my opinion using words derived from nazi terminology is trivializing their ideology. Makes me pretty uncomfortable to read this on HN now.

    Isn't trivializing their ideology a good thing?

What's the purpose of this?

Back during Twitch Plays Pokemon, someone wrote a little script that suppressed other people's commands from appearing in the chat. That seems to be badly needed for this: because of the delay it is really important to pay attention to the bot's "Winning Command" announcements in chat

It might be more interesting if voting occurred at the level of space separated words rather than characters. As it is right now, twitch is tripping over itself trying to even type "ls" given the delay. As anyone who's ever tried to use ssh over a poor connection can relate to, there's a whole lot of "llllss" type command lines getting run.

  They've increased the round length to 20s, and it seems to be working. We're on the point of running fdisk /dev/sda

This is way too easy. The chat is so organized. :-) They will be done in about: 30 minutes times the input delay. The original twitchplayspokemon took about a month if I remember correctly and it worked because nobody had a concrete plan, unlike here. Their first voting system was very chaotic with an input selected from the chat every x seconds instead of a voting consensus. This time as long as the chat contains at least 50% of voters that vote correctly they will win without mistakes. A less boring twitchplays would be just a virtual machine with linux and some abstract/vague goal.

  They just finished the install, so I reckon you're right. I was really hoping for more chaos.
