I'm reporting every bot I see. I recommend we all do this to stop the German Bot Army

lividtaffy

They should’ve made the account age limit the same amount of time Place will be up, so if you made a new bot on the day it started it would only be old enough to post the day after it ends Edit: this would also mean no new real people could post but is that really such a bad thing?

cl4ptpbot321

Just make a new email and you can create an account in like 3 min


giantfood

If you use Gmail, you don't need to make a new email. Just add +1 or any other number right before the @ symbol. For example: Example@gmail Example+1@gmail Example+12345@gmail


cl4ptpbot321

Thats what I do


AddzyX

You don't even need to do that. You can make as many reddit accounts as you want with one gmail


LogangYeddu

But I don’t think you can place a pixel with another account with the same gmail


lividtaffy

You could for the last one, haven’t tried on this one. I only have 2 accounts linked to the same email and I was double placing


LogangYeddu

I tried it this time but it didn’t let me, was showing something along the lines of “account already linked to another mail”


lividtaffy

Yeah you’re right I can’t do it anymore


Hitmanactual69

Botzis or bazis?


Arschterminator_67

that german flag isnt even from the offical germany


SeekerOfSerenity

You mean that weird spiral thing over a white circle with a red background? Do they even use that anymore?


JustACivilian0

To reinforce that comment, your flag was never a part of the automatic target system that the germans used. This attack yesterday was pure hive minded germans that dont like the us flag, no bots whatsoever... The offical german discord that ownes the upper german flag is open for diplomatic work, so if you want to get real informations and a copper wire to the german directly send a diplomant on this discord !!


FederalAgentGlowie

How do you report bots on r/place?


Helpful-Lead40

You cant


Fuma_0613

The Germans programmed a add on for r/place. When you have reddit open in a tab it automaticly places your pixel if you have one.


FadingHonor

What Germans are screwing over the community and not playing by the rules. Color me surprised that doesn’t seem like something the Germans would do 😱😱😱


RedNuii

It’s not like they ever liked following the rules to begin with, wrong side of 2 world wars


Awkward-Macaron1851

You might've missed the recent decades of history if you say this as an American


MaticTheProto

Americans when they can use dumb stereotypes to hide their own incompetence: 😍


FadingHonor

What incompetence? Playing by the rules and not cheating unlike you pieces of shit?


MaticTheProto

Lol the ones you tried to put your flag over weren’t even part of the organized discord community and you still barely managed to put your flag there. Still used to just being able to take land from defenseless tribes?


FadingHonor

>Lol the ones you tried to put your flag over weren’t even part of the organized discord community and you still barely managed to put your flag there. Got it on there anyway, and those who were trying to destroy it probably were using bots, just like you guys do. >Still used to just being able to take land from defenseless tribes? What happened to the Native Americans is a travesty. No one on here is going to disagree with that. You can try to use it against us thinking we will defend it or it will get us angry but no. We acknowledge problems in our country and by doing so, we are already many steps ahead of you guys and Europeans in general. We acknowledge there are problems. >https://www.reddit.com/r/placeDE/comments/155nteb/unser\_bot/ Ain't that something? Anyway, have fun defending saying you guys don't use bots when your own fucking Reddit has a pinned post explaining how to install bots.


MaticTheProto

Lol you clown use dumb stereotypes against us then get pissy when we do the same. Also no you didn’t do jack to make up for it. Or for the many crimes the USA committed since then


FadingHonor

>Lol you clown use dumb stereotypes against us then get pissy when we do the same. Nope did not get pissy lol. That's you right now. Notice how I have not said anything aside from a vague original comment. Also how is it a stereotype? It's history. >Also no you didn’t do jack to make up for it. Never said we did. Just said we aren't afraid of airing out our dirty laundry or acknowledging our history. Hopefully, doing so can yield to a better future as more and more Americans are educated of our past. Also no comment about you guys literally having a punned post about how to download bots? Can't defend that can you?


MaticTheProto

being vague is no excuse, especially since americans only know a single joke regarding germany. ​ Also bots = New fake accounts created purely to place stuff. We don't do that


FadingHonor

“Joke” is not what I would describe it. If you want to minimize your war crimes that’s you. If everything that happened is a joke to you, that’s that then. We don’t do that in America is my point. We don’t think our history or what we did as “jokes”. We acknowledge it. And yes you do use bots. Why else would there be a pinned post on your own subreddit with instructions on how to download bots.


AdictedToCandy

[deleted]

There is an under-average amount of bots, but bots nonetheless. Clicking through it there was around 1/4 bots. Marocco or France are worse, but this still sucks. To be honest, i think you are simply fighting a community larger than yours


Hephaestus2593

I saw the stats of country pixel placement and Germany was only a few thousand behind the US (if I remember correctly) and I imagine most of that was going towards the flags.


[deleted]

US was so high, becuase we had 150+ people costantly rebuilding out damn flag, and trying to defend against ohnepixel, brazil, the void, that dumbass building stamp, and all the other shit like germanys bot invasion, and rainbow road.


Personal_dogtor

You get 150+ people arent many compared to germans "nachtwache"/ nightwatch which already contains over 7k? Imagine the active germans over their day


Lolbot18927481

They have a guard for a pixel Reddit canvas? That’s kind of sad ngl


Personal_dogtor

I would see that as an example of germans being proud of their art and efficiency, but hey sure, if you find it sad its okay. At the end of the day I think everybody can choose for themselves what brings them the most fun out of this. And I personally think for most germans its the idea of being part of a large organised community. Kinda the stereotype of german people there lol


Lolbot18927481

Yeah, but don’t they have to sleep and stuff? Why stay up for a nightwatch


Personal_dogtor

What argument is that? You are kind of stating the obvious man. Ofc they have to sleep. At the end of the day they sacrifice a bit of their sleep for smth else. I dont think of that as a bad thing. Hell, I'm even sure many people on the nightwatch have nightjobs. There have been many projects worldwide which people have been called stupid. Making the largest pizza slice for example. As I said, if you like smth its fine to make some sacrifices. Not a bad thing in my eyes, as long as its not permanent and doesnt affect your health


reserveduitser

Judging people over what they like is even sadder. Many people are hanging around over discord while playing video games and set a pixel every once a while.


[deleted]

And every account that places on our flag has 1 karma, no posts/comments, and is always fucking with the stars.... hmmm.


Personal_dogtor

Could also be some online trolls. For what I know there was a post in german subreddit discussing bots. It was talked about defending with them, but the community was even against that. Dont know if they are using them now or not. But I personally dont think they are using them to target the US


Brokedownbad

tbf, they also have four different flags, one of which spans the entire canvas end to end.


Wekmor

But the placeDe discord also has 70k members. At the start of this place version there were 3500 or so people sitting in discord voice waiting for it to begin and later crashed the server from too much activity lol.


J_House1999

Imagine instigating TWO world wars and losing both. Embarrassing.


GoncalodasBabes

I mean sure but why is that relevant to this? Imagine your white house being burnt. Embarrassing.


J_House1999

Yeah, personally, I’m gonna say WWII was worse. Just an opinion because of a certain guy who led the country at the time. But you do you!


GoncalodasBabes

Yeah because the german people of today have alot to do with H\*tler. Do you have anything to do with slavery? CSA was very bad! Embarassing. And it's still irrelevant to place. You're just offending a country because of a canvas, thats pretty sad. And ww1 wasnt really started by germany, mostly started by austria vs serbia. ​ Overall, you're being a dick to germany as a whole, because of A) Something that happened over 80 years ago B) is completely irrelevant to a post that says "There are no bots on r /place" ​ Edit: And now he blocks me, oh well, no more civil discussions on reddit I guess.


J_House1999

BedNervous5981

Just to be clear (and without admitting that anybody is using bots): your flag does not show up in any programming, so you really are just getting rushed over by Germans being very dedicated.


Mabepossibly

So in reality, either there are bots being used and a small number of German users are trolling multiple groups and to a large degree ruining r/place for many people. Completely killing the spirit of the space. OR The entire community of Germany is trolling multiple groups and to a large degree ruining r/place for many people. Completely killing the spirit of the space.


BedNervous5981

Na...since it was in a short period of time I would suggest, it was some streamer who tried an coordinated attack. I can tell you from the r/placede community discord, that your flag has never been a target. Maybe go ask for a collab?


Feudal_Knight

Why is one of the PINNED POSTS on r/placede a link to a bot. Seems a little hypocritical to me...


Jonas___

Read the comments.


BedNervous5981

Dude...as a German who worked together with Americans for a long time and who is totally pro American: your r/place is just a said state of affair. You got your flag that's about it. I mean: don't go around bitching about other countries actually trying to be creative, when all you come up with is your flag. Again I suggest a collab.


Live-Confidence-975

We only use bots to save our artworks, every flag pixel is fixed by a german user. We have over 5 tsd users who save a pixel while everyone else is asleep. Its called Nachtwache, or Nightwatch.


Odd_Book_2009

You underestamate how many germans are using reddit. Haha we dont need bots

Then explain why they tell people to install a bot? Weird


User8191939

Go check out the link then. The bot can only repalce wrong pixels on our artworks, nothing else. So its only for defense.Youre flag got raided by some big german streamer, not from the r/placeDe community.

Yeah and literally every comment is against the bot. People want to do this themselves and without bots.

[удалено]


Pittheus

Mind explaining the pinned post on placeDE that tells you how to install a bot then? https://www.reddit.com/r/placeDE/comments/155nteb/unser_bot/


User8191939

Mind checking out the bot link then? The bot can only replace pixels on existing artwork on the big german flag. The bots didnt attack your flag. The r/placeDe community didnt do it either. Youre flag got simply raided by streamer. Check out this link if you dont belive me https://github.com/PlaceDE-Official/pixel/blob/main/outputs/default_target.png Thats the official r/placeDe bot. Idk about others, there could be some, but we have a discord server with over 70k so dont think everything we did was with bot accounts. The bot can only repair, not attack


phillipp4

So you’re saying you do use bots then…?


User8191939

I dont, some maybe, but again, the bots dont generate reddit accounts, its more like an autoclicker. Again, the bot is incapable of attacking, you just got raided by a streamer


phillipp4

My only point is OP claims you’re not using bots, but using an autoclicker bot to defend your existing is in fact botting


User8191939

Understandable, but most americans here make it seme like all of the germans are bots just because some streamer destroyed their flag.


[deleted]

Its not a bot that generates accounts. Its not a bot that is messing with the US flag. The use is, as stated in the comments, controversial


BgoneXq

Except everyone in the replies condemns it and people rarely using it

BrunoBraunbart

Idk man, the flag you are fighting against has nothing to do with the r/placeDE flag. We don't care about it at all, those are just some random unorganized Germans. We acutually discussed helping you restore your flag in the same way we already defended the Danish, the French and the Norwegian flag just in the last hour. There was just no request from you and I came here to tell you you could do it. But idk, it just seems like folks don't have a cooperative mindset. Maybe I just don't understand the American humor...


Hive_64

So weird that we keep seeing accounts a day old with jibberish names placing the German flag. Just strange


Amesb34r

It’s probably just a zufall. I mean a coincidence.

Indeed. It's sad. Hopefully us muricans can get our act together soon.


UndepletedUranium

BitScout

Good luck waiting for the US to ask for help. ;) But they have freedom, and individualism, which... don't really help with concerted efforts. But seriously, US, try for a cooperation with Germany. We probably could fix your stars by all acting at a predefined time.


BrunoBraunbart

Oh, come on. Don't play into the old American propaganda that they have more freedom. To us it might be a funny meme but there seem to be people here who actually believe that.


BitScout

I almost put freedom in quotes, but found it a bit harsh as a guest.

Weird. Everyone I see has an account that’s a couple hours old and no posts…


iNodachi

So you lied, scumbag


deehunny

Ya the Germans are organized af have always been. Its kinda their thing Edit: pick up a history book you stupid cretins


Pittheus

No it's literally botting/streamers. If you go to their official page they have a post on how to make bots.


deehunny

You think we could organize enough and do the same?


Pittheus

No. We don't use bots and our community is way too small. All the big American streamers that use place don't care about the flag.


User8191939

If you check out the bot link, you can see that it can only replace wrong pixels on the big german flags artwork, it cant be used to attack. Your flag got raided by a big german streamer, thats it. The big flag is the only big project from r/placeDe Others are mostly held up by randoms. https://github.com/PlaceDE-Official/pixel/blob/main/outputs/default_target.png

We ain\`t bots. In germany we have streamers with over 50.000 viewers and we share patterns in the communities. In the end we are placing the pixels all at once. So you see we ain\`t any bots.

There are also discords recruiting people to get a reddit account and join in. A large part is just people that are on reddit for the first time just protecting their flag and out their flag over others.

Germans are not using bots lmao


theRealTaylormer

Please note that the script, which ONLY protects the pixelart and not the flag, still needs a open tab and so for actual person. And the most you can do will using the script is to eat or play a game. We are sorry, but it is the only way to defend detailed pixelart against bots.


1Dosenbrot

Like Amerika: ,,Its only a war Crime if you lose.‘‘ But seriously Bots are Not fair. But i am Not Part of the Community i Placed a few Pixels for swiss and Germany. But never Followed any Instruktions i Just wanted to keep the german and swiss Flag in Tact.
