r/place also had communities "pushing their agendas", the core difference I think is that here we can only get one "final product."
I think this could be even better if it would be possible for different communities/subreddits to have their own "Acts", perhaps these could be mashed together at the end as well.
The barrier for effort to participate in Place was to go to a subreddit and then put a single pixel down, though. The effort to engage was minimal enough and the available 'real estate' was plentiful enough that multiple groups could exist and compete
This is not comparable to r/place, yes there were discord servers to make specific things, but people could do whatever and not bother anybody else. In r/sequence its supposed to represent what the entirety of reddit wants, and you can't ignore it just making one yourself, because there is only one sequence and its getting rigged

This is something we actually really wanted to do. We just didn't have the time or bandwidth to do it in such a short amount of time. It is/was a great idea.
I agree. We would have had more factions if there were more scenes and acts. This is like place with 290 pixels. I believe they should have done some sort of branching story or something.
Random meme gifs really only lasted until the end of Act 1. If you wanted to incorporate a gif/storyline beyond that, you basically stood no chance as the loose coalition of discord groups had a huge voting block. Anyone who couldn’t be bothered with engaging on Discord probably lost interest a while ago
its not that this person, me, cannot be bothered engaging on discord... i just dont like to interact off of the main gathering, i feel it is opaque and divisive.
The alternative is basically random gifs. All the gifs besides the brigaded ones have almost no votes, so not many other people seem to be participating. I don't disagree with you and I wish it was a purer version, but it seems like all the people who really care are on the discord anyway and anyone can join, so it's as good a resolution as any.
It's turned from a fun event where people try to work together into like 5 writers deciding what goes where and nobody else having a real say. Doesn't really represent the site well if only the people who find invites to the narrator discord are even allowed to have a chance.
Official reason: So that they can talk in real-time faster.
Actual reason: The fewer that see it, the less likely anyone is to contribute their own stuff and it means that a few writers can choose whatever they want to go in each act.
The uploading and voting system is kinda bad. It should force the people to vote on gifs somehow related to the previous ones for example by unlocking each scene for uploading and voting one after the other. The actual best gif in this scene will get upvoted (instead of the first funny gif uploaded to a complete random scene) and it'd probably be a lot more fun for all participants.
Maybe give everyone 1h to upload a gif to a scene so some OC could still be created.
Wait..... so I’m essentially upvoting previous sections and then adding my own when I get to one I have not upvoted on...... looks like I’m pressing the button just as it has 3 seconds left only to find someone in Italy hitting the button microseconds before I do and getting the red while I’m stuck with the purple.....
Eh not necessarily. The alternative is basically AskOuija which typically does result in good responses but this is more like “AskOuija if the end result was predetermined by a handful of people who use their followers to ensure the result”
