MOESM8 of The dynamics of collective social behavior in a crowd controlled game

Effect of lag. Mean time needed to exit the area according to our model with (A) 20 seconds of delay between the input and the image or (B) 30 seconds of delay between the input and the image. As stated in the main text, there was a delay in the system that ranged between 20 and 30 seconds. The amount varied depending on the number of players, the load of Twitch servers, the effect of some technical corrections that were made, etc. Thus, the particular lag at every moment is undetermined. In the main text we have used the intermediate value of 25 seconds, although as we can see in Additional file 8 the results are equivalent if we had set the lag to 20 or 30 seconds. (PDF 275 kB)
