Oh, that's how it works right now, with a twist. There's "anarchy" and "democracy" modes. To quote the channel readme: TwitchPlaysPokemon now has two modes, anarchy and democracy. Anarchy mode is the "old" mode, where everyone's inputs are applied immediately. Democracy mode is vote-based and has a more sophisticated input system. In order to switch from one mode to the other, the mode that isn't active needs 75% of votes as indicated by the dotted line, the current percentage of votes is indicated by the black line. In democracy mode you can compile a sequence of inputs. left2 will move left twice, left2down2 will move left twice and down twice. The "dotted" and "solid" line referred to are two indicators moving in a progress bar between "democracy" and "anarchy"
