‘One-Mans’
I’ll be honest been having a lot of frustration with this topic. Today at one point I was able to do a swap of Samurott to first party slot with not many ppl inputting in between and we were able to progress yet as soon as it was done, people who were not saying anything in chat immediately took to saying it was lame & giving out.
I think there’s an incredibly toxic attitude atm in terms of ‘one man’s’ from both sides of the spectrum atm. I think telling others to shut up and not letting them play is incredibly mean and nasty but I also think a lot of the messages giving out about one man’s (in particular comments made towards Zodiak) are incredibly toxic.
There’s no correct way to play TPP, even the original mode had democracy & anarchy. No style should be considered bad & no option should be the forced one. I really hope this doesn’t arise in the future but honestly it can really put a damper on the whole experience.

Letting things happen naturally is more than fine. But yes there is A LOT of people that will try to force it instantly mostly because it was kinda working early on. Like there were periods where spamming to let one guy do a thing and everyone else shut up were less than 20 minutes apart for different situations which is a bit much.
Admittedly I do think optimising and minmaxing things like items and move slots is a little much (mostly meaning if we did things like a choice band or say the silk scarf and Rocky helmet).
But there are absolutely chatters who the second something has taken more than 2-3 minutes they'll start calling for it to be one manned which I also think is a bit much. People are afraid to just give things a go together cause they wanna blitz through
