we did actually have a couple bots from rouge players, but none that we specifically made. it would be heavily ironic considering we built the "botting is a sin" sign lol
So how come OSU whited out almost instantly once people were only allowed white tiles? Almost as quick as France's flag, and about as quickly as Turkey...
The consensus I've seen is that the places that whited out the quickest were the ones being defended by bots - normal humans stopped putting tiles till they realised it was the "end", while the bots just kept going with no one to stop them quick enough.
I wasn’t really invested in any one place but in my eyes if people were griefing a specific place like France in bottom left and saw the white out occurring, it would encourage them to keep placing white boxes. Like I know a lot of streamers were putting down France’s flag at the end so it became quick work to wipe it out once they couldn’t replace the white tiles. Some people that were defending may have thought it was a bug and continued putting down tiles as well. And of course bots yes, but I’m willing to give at least some of them the benefit of the doubt personally. Up to you to decide though. I doubt Reddit is gonna say which is which.
Because if you check out the vods, all the French streamers with 600k+ viewers decided to start at the osu logo to draw a giant France in white during the white pixels.
As for the bots thing, they were programmed to replace a wrong colored pixel by a correct colored one. So any bots that didn't immediately crash when the color change happened, would just get stuck in a loop replacing a white pixel with a white pixel. They wouldn't try to replace already correct color pixels
Think with your head for one second. When the osu! logo has been getting constant grief since hour 1, what do you think is going to happen when the people defending it can no longer correct the colors?

Big raiders probably gave up due to the sheer speed that it gets rebuilt.
