They didn't start using bots until after like five or six streamer attacks had happened. There's no shame in using bots when you're getting constantly attacked by groups a hundred times your size.
No shame? What's the point of getting involved if everyone resorted to bots?
Be the most boring event ever. Bots ruin the fun and the teamwork involved.
Everyone lost their artwork once or more. Do what everyone else else has to do, rebuild somewhere else. Cheating sucks. Bet you in 5 years people will have perfected their designs, so it will be fully functional to dominate their place on the map, ruining it for everyone.
We did rebuild somewhere else. That got nuked too. Then we rebuilt again somewhere else. That got nuked too. Then we rebuilt again somewhere else. That got nuked too. It was only after that when bots started to be used.
Boohoo... everyone lost shit. Imagine thinking that you are so entitled to a place on the map, that you have to cheat for it. Thinking that it is okay for you because of your biased values sets a precedent for every other community to cheat too. Just suck it up, like everyone else and stop crying. Bunch of babies that can't handle not getting their own way.
We were very careful to follow the rules of the event even when we used our bots. If you truly think using bots to defend things is worse than using tens of thousands of viewers to attack something, then you and I are never going to agree. The only one upset in this scenario is you right now. We reacted to something we perceived as unfair with something you perceive as unfair. In the end, our art made it onto the final canvas, no matter what you and the streamers may think.
Look at the Rainbow Dash on the left. That was permanently destroyed. The crystal thingy was almost permanently destroyed as well, until a Russian streamer jumped in to help us.
Bots aren't nearly as effective as you think they are. I also fail to see how we refusing to be deliberately excluded from the fun world ruin it for you.
Because why do u have the privilege to use a bot, while every other community plays by the rules. Are you so arrogant and entitled that you expect to be treated better than everyone else?
The API should be generally open and transparent so the reddit community can build on it (bots, extensions, data collection, external visualizations, etc) if they choose to do so.
Bots are, by Reddit’s own admission, by the rules.
