Twitch Installs Arch Linux Is Live

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.

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

What a fantastic time to be alive.

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.

...and it's broken.

  apt-get rekt

EDIT: "just a little hiccup with networking, should be full online in 5" - https://twitter.com/twitchinstalls/status/660548203054505985

EDIT2: It begins!

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

now we try to install gentoo at here https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/3qzg17/let...

Looks like the stream just went down

Good timing on the submit. Thanks!

What's the purpose of this?
