Kind of fun, but I agree with some of the other comments that it would be interesting to see what would happen if the app made a move every 15-20 seconds based on the vote tally in that time window.

Right. It needs a Democracy mode. maybe even a Democracy/Anarchy slider controlled by Q and E.

    Users should only be able to vote once (maybe be allowed to change it, but right now someone can overrule the consensus by hitting an arrow key as many times as they can) Nice work though!

      Yep, my bad. Added that too now. (changing not allowed)

      Isn't that a metaphor for democracy in America today?

15-20 seconds seems like it might be too much, at least with the number of users online now...

Or as an alternative, perhaps it could allow each person 1 vote per 5 seconds, while keeping moves instant, so each time it is a subset of people

Counterpoint - In TwitchPlaysPokemon democracy mode was always a lot more boring, and a lot less fun, than anarchy mode.

  This point was explored more fully in the Twitch Plays Pokemon community, where anarchy vs. democracy in the game caused a significant cultural crisis: http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1y8r6d/if_anarchy_fails_the_experiment_fails_with_it/ http://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/1y8r6d/i... tl;dr: anarchy produces all the fun crazy ridiculous happenings, it's what makes TPP fun. If it's "taking too long" and you want to beat the game quickly just play solo; beating the game fast isn't the point.
