i mean as much as i hate reddit, i think this is the only good thing to come out of that app
i found the place
Reminds me of when Ludwig had his chat design his banner 
That is a lot of ducks!
ikr
im not sure what the circle thing is
but its blocking our square
eh, we already started there
we might have to push them
funny how pretty much everything giant is just flags
lol
everyone hates spez
That is a bit graphic..
dw its pixels
I know
sure
Um
It's a giant t now
So here? It's small but should work?
Heeeyey @static lynx 👉👈
#⚠announcements⚠ ?
Do that yes
There's like 4 of you, lol
Here a list of requirements I'm making up:
Finalize a design (ideally containing .gg/lego)
Get more than 4 people
Wait for the canvas to expand
Then I'll throw up an announcement
I am here
I placed a black one at -138, -499
I did a thing
Good
-135, -499
Ok
I did -135, -498
Ok we movin
-143, -497
Tbh
Instead of Outline and color and whatnot
Wouldn't it be Smart to do It like a Printer
From Left to right top to Bottom
Oh Ok
Where is it
-132, -496 done
Someone else is trying to make something
-132, -494
Many people trying right Here
They are Probably on Their own thing
Nice
How does this works? I never heard of this activity.
i had made a post on r/lego, and almost immediately someone was being a jerk
Reddit people are loser tbh
This is soooo Slowwwwwww
Interesting.
literally, its the main reason i dont use the platform
I have 30 alts open Right Now
someone was like “another one of these?? Enough already”
within 2 minutes of me posting it 💀
I'm kind of lost... What's the official app?
How long does this last? Sorry for all the questions, I am absolutely lost.
Ok, thanks
Oh
I say we wait til Tom for more canvas
lets wright lego between denmark and norway flag then we can turn it in to the logo
Wow this place is garbage with the amount of massive flags
Yeah I say we use the top part of Germany's flag
At the very top
There's already a bunch of other stuff on their flag
No wait not Germany
@ember fractal here
Ah
We need a better spot or more people then
Here maybe?
I bet we could do it here
We just need enough people so they can't put their flag over it
Agreed that would work
Yessir
We starting now?
Top corner would be -93 167
Hm does the server have anti-raid bots and stuff? I feel like it's important but if there's a decent risk of raids then ya remove it
Arright
hihi
if you plan to build in the rainbow
i've got some advice
above the pony is where the rainbow begins
that's the toughest bit
i dont have image perms
but on the far left of the rainbow road
is the newest weakest part
but, that area is the old USA flag
and they're going to come back
thats the same rainbows as the origianl
it's a tough spot to try and move in
What about here?
you're good there unless the usa comes back
that's the leftover stripes of the usa flag
? ^
Would my mapping work?
and i'm allied with every single person near
and we're interested in putting something in the rainbow
because the rainbow is pretty uncontrollable
my other advice is to not have your thing floating in the rainbow
have a border like ours
the rainbow doesnt touch black borders it seems
there's a template plugin
if you can get me a template link my boys can help
-138 is the first column
Yeah I saw that
And -121 would be the second black column
"just lego things" is a lot to write and letters are often griefed
you'll need mor epeople
just to maintain it
even once its in
Will that fit?
now you're thinking
Uhh yeah we need more people
rainbow road hardly has a group
its a hive mind
who just repeats the tileable pattern
we'll see
yeah
you guys just need to get more people
if i'm being dead honest
we've got two dozen trying and just
this rainbow line is tough
oh
the map is 24hrs old
in 7 mins
if you can rally enough people
idk, maybe talk to any sort of lego subreddits?
you can get a new spot
somewhere
i'm not sure how willing my people will be to help
but if we cant get this line down
it's an idea
we liked the idea of having something that is generally popular (lego) where the rainbow is
because the rainbow is chaotic and dangerous
lego wouldnt invade us, we wouldnt invade lego
it'd be nice
i'd get to posting in lego subreddits if i were you
also, channels get more views than threads, just a thought
Yup we need an announcement in the server
Final cords?
Kk
Nah
Do it to the left
whats left side
that's a good size
but what's the left wall
so i can get my peeps on it
usa is coming back
you better hope the map doubles soon
rainbow boutta get WIPED by usa
Just "JLT" would work
Hopefully Germany fights that well
There's no better spot we just need more people
Lol
terraria is interested in the right of that -138 line
i've told them the left is yours
if you can't get something down; and they can
they might eat that left side
you're racing against the clock
terraria wont mess with y'all
Wait that's are right border? So they can have anything to the right of it
Pog
mhm
That might be helpful
Cuz it's a blockade against the rainbow
That works
We need an alliance with them
Idk how to do that...
im
super busy rn
working our own diplomacies
if you want to even really
have a shot
ur gonna need ur own forces
my group is not massive
we're already stretched thin
We have anti-bot bots
Pog so leaving the gg?
For now
Kk
We should try for the bigger version
That's always the issue
Why do we need BTS fans help?
I was also talking to a guy from the murder drones community so he might join this
Hmmm loint
I still propose #⚠announcements⚠
I still propose waiting for the canvas to expand
Eh, they could be doing it differently this year
True
Don't we have like 2 more days?
Plus the rest of today
If we're going by "normally" it wouldn't double at all 
What are the existing plans?
Going to level with you, my only goal is to be on the final canvas
What if the do the thing where it switches to only white at the end?
The final canvas is saved before that
Here would probably be easiest as it's big and a mees
And bigger
I think I did the math right
347 AND 379
Not 4
Done
It's 31 wide right?
Our background is orange?
347 is a black line
No wait
346 would be the black line
Yeah I feel like we could get enough people to cover that tho
hytale is moving in above rex
by force
it seems you guys aren't moving in here anymore
because its just too tough to fight the rainbow
but if you were still thinking abt it, you can't really anymore, and that's not in our power
Germany might grief it tho
And it means making our logo smaller
Okay there seems to be a little purple now but idk
So move it upward?
What's our game plan rn tho?
Kk
Where?
empty square
the red one
next to osu
all we need to do is color it in, then add the logo
its at 136,242
but yea, we need a annoucment
👀 scoutguy
ight
Can you overlay it on the canvas?
tho we really need more ppl
We're trying to get mod help
cool
ight
its a slow process
do we have a bot?
i might have to make one lol
are you sure?
no one seems to be doing anything there
we can do it i think
Dude, I already told you I'd do it when we're good and ready
@ember fractal The canvas expanded
Make a Google sheet or smthn with coords
Ay okay
Something easy to follow and that I can link to in the announcement
Lobby has been renamed to #off-topic-lobby🪑
Just this thing
Spreadsheet with coords 
Here's an example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U0RnJ3dkl_ZoXHmZw-_EbrTJPiHJLMPEddNKCeZARjI/edit?usp=drivesdk
Check the 2nd workbook
Y'all should go overrun #off-topic-lobby🪑
Nobody's going to stumble into this suggestion channel
Cords yet?
@ember fractal put coords in along the top and left sides and I'll post it
Literally just make a new column and row along the top and left sides
Top for the x coords, left for the y coords
Like this
@ember fractal add another column/row outside of the border
And remember you can continue patterns with sheets to auto-fill sequential numbers
Announcement is up
Now I'm dipping cause my lunch break is ending 🤣
France straight up has nudity and it's not banned?
Nah one is a famous painting
How does France have so many terminally online redditors
Nice
W Austria 🇦🇹
cool
Now we must protect it at all costs
I was watching good work
Yeah we cross eyed now
Yeah all black eyes no changes
He kinda cute with white dots but we stick to our logo
No
That’s not our server logo
It’s like changing a color on a flag
Stay strong soldier
We could put a little white highlight in the top right corner
Oh ok
Austria is goated
Our guy is a pretty good size
Shading is getting a little off
Ok now 1 in bottom left
He got pink eye now
Wow where you find that
Put my name in there lol
Lol thanks
Ok
Cause they are just going to want to put it back
Why is it say r/Lego I didn’t think we liked them
Ok
I think we are looking good right now but it is kinda scary
But they are going over hearts
Is this mean war?
Trying to help from my phone over here! What's the next step?
Ok, captain!
Yes, that's cool!
I'll do my best to help, but I won't be able to stay up that late unfortunately
It looks very good too!
Will we try making the blue brick somewhere or stick with the head?
ok ill help
Whyyy
these cruel beings
why would you hurt lego head!
he just has a side smile rn lol
😂
Is it a bot doing the shading
It could stay but it’s kinda bothering me
Oh ok so someone is doing that thinking it’s right?
2 pixels attack
We aren’t focusing on the eyes cause they aren’t attacking
Oh no
5 pixels to fix @ember fractal @fickle apex
Fix the Butt chin
This is a small attack but big for us
Don’t anger him more
He will make it his job to mess it up but we do have bots
Spam it with a bot
Like add him to email list
Lol
Yessss
We don’t take that type of disrespect
More help @ember fractal
@fickle apex
The nose might just be for fun but mouth is mean
The same one with the email leak
wtf is bros problem
Like why us
We just defend our Lego boi
Let eyes be what ever for now
They are not mean I think
It’s like Minecraft eyes but ofc we don’t want that
Right
Got it
Looking better good job staying strong
To easy how many hours we had him up already
I made friends with a griefer
What’s CSM
Oh I see
Nice
Respect
In how many hours
How do you know
Is there a timer somewhere
Oh
Nooooo
They are so dumb
What streamer
We don’t look as bad it’s clearing up
Who is the streamer
We clearing up
Great work guys
I love Austria, India, and Switzerland
One brown pixel on head
And shave one pixel off right side top head
Got it
Should we add a little section below the head like the neck
Yeah cause it would hit the heart and that’s the last thing we want to hit
oh i found it i was looking in the opposite side of the map
make it bigger
ok
its missing a line
Are you fredd1
see the line that shows the depth at the bottom
Oh yeah we would hit the heart and bots are all set already
WHO PUT A MUSTACHE
Oh I thought that was a nose I see it’s a stache
no a horizontal line there
The bots would change it back
just test it
40 seconds....
No more nose!
We will fight them!
And win!
My internet is failing!
Lol

I marker it
Help with the mouth!
The mouth is a mouth again! YAY!
Nose, nose!
No more nose!
Cool!
Hello
Welcome on Just LEGO Things!
Someone is making our logo cry!
We are strong together!
I just watched that movie
Right side is going crazy
Lol
I like the shadows on flags
Lego guy crying
Tear
Intentions is what counts!
Mouth destroyed!
No---I am fixing some infinite loop caused by my optimizations rn
will protect manually for now
I am still there helping, just not chatting as I am busy on somthing else at the same time.
well I can't post links. Alliance is published on umich.place
umich.place is the link
I'm a mod, here is your link: https://umich.place/
Oups, sorry.
Ok I’m back on duty
Nice
How about a blue brick there
Ok but if our head dies we make a brick
Thoughts?
Or we keep the head our mascot
Cause server and your already have that in the lore
We got a nose
Gg
This alliance should be aware that the red pixels on our plot tend to represent Ohio State University, our archrival
The green pixels tend to represent Michigan State University, our second biggest rival
We have a truce with them
Hey @west thorn, I have a pixel ready and nothing to do, where is your logo's spot?
spot the maize (yellow) M
Got it
I just fixed one on Michigan
Just fixed a little green spot on it
The little chick on the bottle look to have lose its eye 😥
The little chick has diarrhea spilling off the can lol
Erk 😆
There is a plan to do something there?
Nah I think we just stay strong
Keep our guy alive
YES!
The flag are obnoxious just hope no flag goes vertical down our Lego head
But I think we are far enough down they can’t go
Guys look at the top left corner
No zoom in all the way at the top
I see it! Cool Easter egg!
I just realized is that the Swiss alps to the right
Yeah I guess that’s pretty obvious
Austria should be on the right side
But there really isn’t a right side up on a map
So “upside down map” could be right side up
Ok thanks
I will tell my mom to not look up there
I’m not sure about that
Messi
Pink eye
We good
Ok, it's all fixed! 🎉
Cs go will be the biggest piece when it’s finished
Bottoms right looks epic
And right below it lol
Dragonite it’s in top right
Our bots are not protecting our go blue plot anymore at the moment
Ok we will watch it
The frog fixed it
<@&1132138033081237574>, we are attacked!
Almost no more eyes, and the mouth really needs help!
Some people tries to destroy our art, we need to put the pixels back in place!
at this point may as well make a mega blooper 
I'm doing something to the r/place role so expect a few things with it momentarily
Ok
Can I have the role?
Can you remove the role from me?
Yes, sorry about that.
Seeya
Thanks! It's all fixed, YAY!
you got it?
Yes, it's all good
👍
Good job guys I was on a bike ride
That’s why you’re the goat
What does it means to be a goat?
Greatest of all time
Oh! I get it! 😊

Blue eye fix pls
Done!
Eyes again
Working on it...
All good we’ve been doing pretty good
No problemo. I think it's working good.
our bots are back on our plot btw, so you can relax there
Cool
Nice good work
keep the nose or no?
No, but thanks for asking
Yeah watch out for the nose or it’s a stache
Cords?
Here
Ayyyyy gg y'all for actually getting that down
Sorry I wasn't there to help but I'll try to add a "JLT" now
That is all emersonac's work, he planned and graphed everything! 
The others we are in collab with have bots to protect, they would erase it...
Ah
But we are in the atlas now, so peple have a way to find the server
Oh nice
Not sure about that we would need to talk to Austria before we add that
Oh is Austria the flag we're on?
Yeah
He got a nose
And Switzerland on the right
Breathing is for the weak
Fr nose isn’t canon in Lego
Still weird that the You-Know-Who figs got one! 🤣
Did someone pin r/justlegothings to it?
Kinda
Wdym?
Ah it won't show on mobile
Probably
Wait, that's a thing? Can't find it, I need a link! 😀
Idk if itis
@gentle jasper it's set to private but I can make an r/justlegothingsdiscord or r/discordgglego probably
Anyone staying up
I see. Well, I would be a member for sure but it would be a good idea to talk to the other mods about it
for a few hours still
Nah I can't
~ 3
Ok
Yeah and iamanit might own r/justlegothings actually
Who else can we get to stay up
Ehh...
I think we will be good
i still cant believe we got it up
I remember the first time taking ages
It's way harder than I expected, it's a great achievement!
I’m going to sleep be back in 7 hours
We are troubleshooting our bots and have found that a lot of them are not placing effectively
A few theories:
Anyway, this means we are much weaker than we previously thought in defending ourselves in the next 6 hours
Some old accounts of ours that used to be botted are also ineffective
We're hoping to measure the effectiveness of our bots before I go to sleep
Hi!!!
I will have to go soon... it's great, like that we can cover 24 hours without problem
Thank you!
Night, well, it was still day for me 😅
Update it?
Why?
Oh, wonderful!
Oh, @west thorn by the way, someone was trying to destroy the little hearts near your logo. I protected them, I hope I did not mess up any design.
You can always refer to umich.place for the latest design
Yes, right. I forgot about it. Got it 👍
Thanks!
OK. Given our compromised bots, we don't anticipate being able to take up and maintain more space by ourselves
Can we help?
The final size is 3000x2000
Yes, but we don't know how much placing power we will have to maintain both plots
We face a lot more vandalism than average small communities here
Alignment is not the issue. Reddit responds to the bots with successful placements, but the placements don't affect the canvas
Same concept as if you made an alt right now and tried to place something on it
it'll seem to work, but when you refresh you find it didn't
Ok, that is my time to go. Good luck everyone! 🤝
Here, frogs brings luck: 
Bye bye!
👋
Ribbit!
Here's something safe to automate, still: We can have a Discord bot that alerts you or a role full of manual placers when the number of incorrect pixels reaches a threshold
I have a script running that speaks the number of pixels wrong out loud when it gets high
(I hope it wakes me up if things go too badly while I'm asleep)
We can polish that up and distribute it to our allies tomorrow (as in Sunday during the day for us)
Removed nose
I can assure you that at least 3 of our bot accounts still work
I am going to sleep with this information
thanks
the turkey flag is like the canadian one last year, they cant get the star right
15 pixels wrong
safe for now
How old are the alts?
OK
The bots don't work like that
They don't operate on a browser page; instead, they emulate the requests sent when getting the canvas and placing pixels
They do try to get the latest board whenever they can place
They are only starting (it's close to 9 AM here)
lmao💀 
What is the Austrian relocation?
Pog
OK. That will be easier to put on our bots since we also bot-protect ENS above
Although given all the stuff thrown at our plot, I'll probably rally some manual placers instead
if you can put the lego head on the transparent part, I'll load it onto tampermonkey
yes
When do you start?
Our bots are helping out, but this weakens our own plot. keep an eye out
Bots are not on it anymore because we're at 18 pixels wrong
integrated tampermonkey setup instructions are on umich.place. it now has the overlay for the lego head
The I appearing between you and us is University of Iowa*
They have just a few people who have been really resilient because they went there once, we erased them for Austria, they moved below us for a moment, and then they moved back there
Please help restore our top right heart with Austria
Yessir
I thought it was 3000x2000 based on the internal canvas layout
I don't see why Reddit would make the internal canvas layout 3000x2000 if they plan for 2000x2000
garlic-bread.reddit.com/media/canvas-images/full-frame/2/1690129297875-2-f-spjjx9Li.png is the internal canvas #2
Is that a church that took our old spot
Right I see
Been a little busy but I will be working
On protecting our boy
Eh... I'm not going to condone that
I'm fine with you figuring it out yourself, but I'm not going to pin it 
Supposing Reddit exists next year
We are at 15 pixels wrong because our bots are helping with expansion
find an ally not expanding
Thanks. We are filling in at (559,720)
when the number of pixels wrong hits 20, I'm moving the bots back
We have ~6 bots on it, too
The rest are on expansion
that's in part because our bots have been on it
when the head was far away, it's more difficult to split the effort
I think we can assuming it doesn't end at midnight or something
We can do it then
The blue background was getting attacked a bit
But yeah my main concern is the nose and the g and u in "go blue" being messed with
all our bots are back on that, btw
Thanks
Can you remind Austria that we are not trying to remove the heart?
I'll move some bots to the expansion
It's actually not---red is our archrival university's color
I have DMed 7 of them about umich.place
The heart is also not bot protected anymore
we also need to be more efficient given the 4 minute timeout
everything happens more quickly now
Got it 👍
yes
Cool idea!
It's going to run into everything along the bottom 😅
Wait wrong revision
Oh hush Emerson
Other half
We are most likely going to relocate
All bots are back on emergency protection
No idea yet
We're expanding but with not much focus near (659, 605)
5 bots still on the alliance
yeah, it was a rushed vote, and not as coordinated as last time
last time was unlucky; this time I think it's doubt and lack of focus
we're monitoring the original
will intervene when we hit 20 pixels wrong
Needs help again on the u
Quite busy, but yes
I have an audible alert monitoring our alliance target rn
@gentle jasper Any word on pinning r/justlegothings or a similarly named sub?
Nice
I can't access that sub?
Yeah
Idk
Ohhh
I added an r
Lol you're good
Yeah
Just maintain the text
the heart at the left of the M needs help.
Also is this heart supposed to be there?
Right, sorry, right
That is the heart I was talking about
Do anyone have the chart for the "BL" alien on the right of the M? Someone is giving it anthenas I believe
Ah, ok then
I'm trying to give you a hand when I can! Looks awesome!
???
Ah, ok
Our head is good, the M have a few red dots
Pixel in 2 minutes...
We can do it, we will do it!!!
Yeaaah
Hoooooyyyyyaaaaa!
Please someone fix the chick!
I'll be able to in 40s...🤞
We are probably near the final guys!!! <@&1132138033081237574>
Ah! I place a purple pixel instead of a blue in the U! Please fix!
Cool!
Shadow needs a pixel
Nvm
we'd love it
Or actually...
alert!
Still on cool down on both
I really wish I could use some custom emojis from our server
btw, we're sneaking in on germany left of the picture frame
(not r/placeDE)
Unfortunately only Nitro would allow him to use external emojis. Sorry
@full flame, could you do this?
Ahh, people are playing with the little chick again, I hope it will end up ok!
It is now, I fixed it
still can't, but that's OK!
Really?
Thanks
Nice

Improving wins and design!
I've temporarily moved all our bots to that spot for a couple minutes to see how our alliance target goes
will be on call to revert when it hits 15 wrong (audible alert)

2023-07-23 20:16:13.443608 11 (pixels wrong)
a definite contribution from the bots there---maybe we stabilize at 15 when they are not here
ope we hit 16
taking my bots back
is it always our hearts that go first when we move bots away?
oh you have no idea how nerdy we got with this
We have invented the PPM metric (pixels per minute) and PP100 (pixels per minute per 100 pixels of planned land)
We wanted to estimate a practical threshold for PP100 necessary to claim land and to defend land
one sec, coordinating target images
I also want to run simulations on the data Reddit publishes on placements
We take all the offending placements (away from our target image) and we test the number of bots necessary to keep the pixels wrong (pw) below a threshold
that can provide a defense PP100 standard
Alert's been going off at 28 pw. bots are coming back for a moment
Ah!!
the heart's the first to go
What's happening?
this is so sad
can we ask austria to just fill the heart with purple?
michigan fans hate ohio state colors
Sure ig
The alien needs a new eye and the heart needs a lot of help
🫡
🫡
🫡
going on emergency mode for a bit (no alliance protection, no heart protection)
oh nvm
The hearts are being destroyed!
Yeah
makes me want to make a bot just to DM people that put blue in these spots
We're going to remove our half of the hearts from the bot's target image and have my 5-8 bots on that. Austria's diplomat with us says it's ok
this is a complete distraction
Roger
10-4
So should I keep drawing the hearts back?
No
Ok
You will just be cancelled by our uninformed fans
Makes sense
german flag there is being cancelled. we're aborting the expansion most likely
aborted, bots back on normal ops drawing the hearts
Never underestimate the power of the UMich randoms
new target until 2 am EDT (5 hours from now)
Sorry about that
We're trying to expand again elsewhere (-542, 716), and all bots are off our alliance rn to help because our bot power is actually not very high now
U is no longer a u...
It's back to normal
13
😥

end of a wave 😌
Anyone want to get rid of the pink goo on our boy
Idk but it’s annoying me
ok, I'll help then
Take it off?
Yes
It kinda looks like the paint of your frog profile pic
Haha, you are right 😂
Yeah it is
also theres a lot of new colors
these schools being butthurt that they don't have their own plot but never organized enough to achieve that
Exactly
instead resorting to defacing their rivals, who have an official truce with them
I even gave them our bot code (under the condition that they don't use it against us, of course)
They are lame for that
seems like we're stably low for a moment. I'll switch back to the expansion (no bot protection of alliance) for a few placements
Alright
Oki
Wow
It just expended to the left
this is really good for us because people will be focused on setting up in the new area
