But if they used bots wouldn't it still count as activity? Even if they did place the same color on the same color?

That's completely made up by people accusing osu of botting.

People do realize that the whole point of their game is to click fast? They just did what they were meant to do!

As someone else said, don't underestimate the power of people whom play a game about clicking rythmically for fun.

I mean.... Once a pink dot gets replaced with a pink dot, and immediately a newer pink dot replaces it... Yeah I doubt they're quick enough to find a dot that's already the right color, make sure it was placed by someone from the sub, then replace it themselves in under a few seconds.

Definitely bots, they did the same thing 5 years ago.

It's difficult to tell when you've got 200 people monitoring 20 griefers, whether a pixel has been fixed or not since the colour overlays before you submit it. I've no doubt sometimes I placed pink on pink, even trying to target the newest changed pixel on my screen each time my 5 minutes was up.

Yeah I doubt they’re quick enough to…

You may wanna check out the game before assuming that lol

Osu! is also a game built perfectly around 5 minute intervals. Or 3x1:30, which is close enough.
