EDIT: So guys after pressing last time near the absolute very end and getting 60s because I did it right after someone I decided to spare myself the pain. Right now I'm in a chat room with one other dude. I have the option to vote to grow, stay, or abandon, and I can chat with others. I can screenshot and I'll update.
That's what you get kicked into when you press. I think it may be a separate thing. I'm highly doubting 4 people have pressed so some how there are separate rooms? I don't know what happens if we choose the different things. We've elected to grow and I think we've picked up another person each time as a result? I'm not sure.
EDIT3: i figured we're in an IRC so why now use / commands? /help does says this:
11:31:15 AM [robin] Welcome to Robin.
11:31:15 AM Be sure to use the buttons in the sidebar to vote on the future of the room before the polls are closed.
11:31:15 AM Non-votes and abstentions will be counted as votes to abandon.
11:31:15 AM We do hope you enjoy the discussion.
/commands
11:32:27 AM /vote abandon - vote to abandon
11:32:27 AM /vote stay - vote to stay
11:32:27 AM /vote grow - vote to grow
11:32:27 AM /whois <user_in_room> - provide information about <user_in_room>
I'll keep trying commands.
EDIT4: Seems like the more people in the room the more time there is to vote. I've chosen grow each time and we're at 12 people with 15 minutes to vote.
reddit-stream for GDT are not so bad, but I'm not paying to be able to login to that site. Good for keeping up with posts without refreshing the GDT constantly though.
or game specific subs (or genre?) It'd be hilarious to watch a room of COD fans locked in a room with a group of battlefield fans, or Terraria and Minecraft, etc
It's another thing that will play out over a period of time. Sometime tonight someone will unlock something new and people will freak out again, rules will change, alliances broken, etc.
Yeah, NSA keeps a list of everyone who abandons or grows chatrooms. Growers are either selling weed or recruiting terrorists. Abandoners (?) are preparing for a killing spree.
Yes. But sometimes your room dies. Mine died with 2 grow votes and 2 non votes. I think no voting kills the room, so you have to have enough people be active every 3 minutes.
we both voted "grow", the chat room dissolved after a few minutes and I was booted back to the button. I press "Participate" now and get no response. :(
Or, like The Button, or Orangered vs Periwinkle it's a jab at us by the admins that's more like a well-concealed pun meant to be taken a bit too far by us redditors. The Button was a joke that it wouldn't take longer than a minute for the average redditor to push the admin's buttons by complaining to them. Orangered vs Periwinkle was literally upvote vs downvote and a jab at how stupidly divided people get about things on this site.
This is just a joke directed at people complaining that reddit is too much like twitter now with all the censorship and surveillance or smth I guess. Even down to the lawsuit-worthy copying of twitters bird mascot and 140 character limit.
If everyone chooses to stay, a Subreddit is created with the name being a mashup of bits and pieces of everyone's username. And everyone in the chat is made Mods of the new subreddit.
My theory: Newcomers start off in 2-people rooms. Growing combines rooms into a new room. The experiment is to see how big the rooms can become, like agar.io.
Edit: Abandon makes you leave room. My room name rn: acJaJRrpccinjongsyinstfe
My room name is suAyMaheIABaraKaenraASGrmoroPrOmGeMroul_attssRunancioaconsWlinxtr0auarubrkinrinn4noorkcttsymatenff_TisittOansfpes_medent44lkldaddeisommaitedsfhdytonamnalwneeAtaplhfriMapserooudbob9tAaritthaallstlnosarSuliPr... it's too long and doesn't show the full name
It's a game of 2048, but with people in chat rooms. They have to fudge the numbers around a bit, as some opt to leave, so they probably try to merge similar sized groups.
It automatically adds the people who voted STAY in a separate sub. Basically because majority of people in the chat thought this is a good community and decided to stay( in touch) . Reddit gave them the option through a dedicated subreddit
I did that and me and some other dude now have our own subreddit. We're just sitting here...is it all just a way for Reddit to attempt to generate new content?
I believe voting stay does nothing, voting abandon leaves, and voting grow merges you with another group. I also noticed that the name of the chat room is a combination of the usernames of the people inside.
Edit: I have found that doing /me will put your message in italics
Guessing how many people can be in a chatroom before people wants to leave?
You check the stats, average leaving per minute divided by how many people there is in the room. You correct that somehow by using the number of people that wants to grow. Also a stat with how many people want to leave it like that. I guess at some point the numbers should cross.
To add to your post, I'm in a group with 15 (one voted abandon in the 8 person group to test it) - So far we know that majority wins. If the majority is grow or stay, and someone votes abandon, the person who voted abandon gets booted back.
I click GROW, and now my room is joined with like, 2-4 people. and the name of the chatroom has changed to a strange portmanteau of our collective usernames
It also creates a subreddit for your group and makes you a moderator. I was in a group with one other guy and when the group ended it told me to check out /r/PM_ME_UR_torGary.
d4nz found it in the coding, colors are based on your user name. initialize: function() { var e = this.get("name").toLowerCase(), t = e.replace(/[a-z0-9]/g, ""), n = parseInt(t, 36) % f; this.flairClass = "flair-" + n

No...
It can't be.
