the truth behind AppleSMP
This was copy and pasted straight from the discord
Final Goodbye Dear players of the AppleSMP, I am BobbTheGreat, and this is my last message to you all before I leave for good. For starters, I want to clarify that the rumor of bots going around the server is true. There are indeed 20–30 bots on the server that Ludwig himself has added, and there is real evidence of it too. For starters, the bots will have 1–18 pages of just join and leave messages in the Discord SMP chat, which is unnatural behavior. Another thing is that if you try to do /tpa to them, the command doesn't even go through or appear in chat. When the bots' names are looked up on NameMC, they all link to one favorited server: "rinaorc." I don't know the correlation to this, but it's weird that they all share the same favorited server. All of the bots are also Pippin rank, making that rank seem the most active out of all of them. Lastly, if you try to find the bot accounts on the map, they aren't there. Even if you check the resource worlds, they aren't there either. Lillaru is the one who discovered all of this, and she got banned for speaking the truth. Onto why I am leaving this server: it's not because of the bots, but because of Ludwig himself. He's a self-centered liar who would rather protect his own ego than let the truth get out. He has lied about the bots and has banned Kitti from the Discord with false claims about why she was banned. Ludwig has also used the R-word to refer to a person that he had banned. Ludwig isn't as good as he seems to be. These are just some of the things that I have proof of him doing. If you want to stay in this server with someone whose ego is as fragile as glass, go ahead. Or, you can move on to a different server like all of us who are leaving.
