I think the general idea is a single side has 1000+ players, each of those players is either pressing up or down, whichever number is greater determines the direction the paddle moves.

There was an article on digg a few days ago about using the same idea in a flight sim, and everyone did a barrle roll as if it was a natural instinct. I'll go link hunting.

Quote: " On the way up the plane rolls a bit. And then rolls a bit more. At some magical moment, the same strong thought simultaneously infects five thousand minds: "I wonder if we can do a 360?"
Without speaking a word, the collective keeps tilting the plane. There's no undoing it. As the horizon spins dizzily, 5,000 amateur pilots roll a jet on their first solo flight. It was actually quite graceful. They give themselves a standing ovation."
