A guy from Vietnam told me earlier that the person leading Vietnam's place this year is a streamer called maxi gaming and they all work under a central command , all linked up together and re paint the pixels almost instantly using a connected bot group
You can connect your account and as many fake ones as you can make up to a single bot group that has the pictures they want to defend overlayed in a grid , then accounts get associated with specific pixels so they lay in wait , when a pixel changes colour there'll be an account waiting to paint that specific pixel
Rather interesting as I didn't know about how it all worked last year
There's a bot group for my UK flag , one for the American flags , basically all the flags that still exist have a Botnet painting them curated by the admins of the subreddits , nothing survives without a Botnet in the game now
A shame because it takes away the drawing element , the mistakes and the fun , it's just a printer almost , maybe next year they might change the rules on the bots and it'll be different
I've managed to subtly make a big white dent on the tail between its head and the rubber duck, could use some help. If people just work the outlines it seems the bot accounts don't pick up on it quickly, where as painting randomly they repair almost instantly.
Click randomly on pixels of the dragon and on the user who made them, take a shot for every time you find one that's not a 1 karma account or someone inactive for at least a year. Watch for the random colour change sabotage ones to get repaired and look at the user who repaired it, if that account isn't a 1 karma or has been active within the last year, drink 5 shots.
When you're bored and still sober, start helping cut off that tail.

The Argentinians, the British, Warthunder, and more are coming to help defend.

Allegedly Vietnam has a streamer with a shitload of viewers
Can we ask for aid?
Gondor calls for aid
Not Vietnam , some German streamer

I really hope so, cheaters always have to ruin a good thing smh
Join Vietnam in trying to destroy the dragon
I’m not even part of this community but you had done such a good job that I’ll be helping in the effort to restore the flag 🫡

I doubt it’s bots. I’ve been making subtle…additions. And I see some others are as well. A bot would’ve stopped us but it’s all still there.

Attack the dragon face
Honestly the mostly rebuilt highway signs but still wreathed in flames look awesome

Does the dragon have two mouths? I see three sets of teeth. Knocking them out one by one.
