#/r/place 2023

Let's go!
Let me start it off with the summary:
Guys, in just 2 weeks, it's time again to go to war on a canvas!
Reddit's r/place is coming back! https://www.reddit.com/r/place
This has been found out by a group that looks for early signs of the April fools events every year, so it's most likely true.
We can use this extra time we now have to prepare and make something really great again this year! 
For those who want to walk down memory lane of the efforts we made last year, here is the thread: #958080791936647198
why is there one column of pixels missing on the right
I think we should and try to have everything next to each other
and maybe something for mau5trap
That would look the best if we can secure the space
And mau5trap covers all artists, so that's a good idea as well
so I think our main goal should be to at least have a mau5head and "mau5trap" in the final canvas
Everything else we need to 100% try but if it doesn’t work it’s not a big deal imo
Yeah, we could try the normal non-minecraft mau5head this time. It's bigger, but I think we can do it.
Also. We need to start gathering pixel art and then vote on the best one for each idea and then backups for what we want to do.
Kx5 logo
how big should it be?
the bigger it is, the harder we will stay on the final canvas
I still have my pixelart for the red mau5head from last years suggestions
And the large version:
i kinda like the samll version
For anyone who also wants to make pixelart, this is a quick way to easily do it: https://www.pixilart.com/draw
not free but a really good tool imo: https://www.aseprite.org/
but this is more than enough for what we're doing
If we want to do mau5trap, we'll most likely need to go with the logo:
Or this variation:
It's gonna take a lot of pixels either way
oh thats true...
I'm now trying to make a design with as few pixels as possible
Here are a few mau5trap variations I created. The top one is a standard 5px font, and ones below are the smallest I could make them while being readable:
The third and final variation is the cleanest imo, for now at least.
We can also add the mau5head on the side like in this logo
But other pixelart for a mau5head might also be better
thats true
some releases already have a pixelated mau5trap logo
Can you paste the image here?
mau5trap v2
omg i think this is it
I'm glad you like it :)
I think it's a nice combo, the old mau5trap logo with a mau5head, a 2 in 1.
ye!
Or a recolored variation with the classic red mau5head
Though I think it looks less like a whole matching piece.
kx5 should be pretty easy
what if we collab with r/skrillex again but share their territory
technically skrillex was on mau5trap
sure
honestly we should just collab with all electronic music community
so we can have a big space with every djs out there
yeah did r/electronicmusic do anything last year?
Not the subreddit (at least not documented).
You can check it here: https://place-atlas.stefanocoding.me/
Let me tell you, this logo isn't easy to make in small pixelart
I tried 2 variations but it's extremely difficult to get it looking good with so few pixels:
ah
didn't realise the logo was that complicated
i thought it was just Kx5 is plain text
🤣
Well, that's also an option, but not very fun xD
yeah
Here's another small artwork I made that we can add if we have space. Another take on the i_o memorial from last year.
Oi
fuck lol
still, both looks good!
Thanks, I reworked the smaller one a bit. Now the K is closer to the original.
everyone needs to help with everything.
Here is my entire canvas with all previous years artworks and unused artwork. Just so you can get a sense of scale in terms of area for what we might be able to do this year.
As you can see, the new ideas are quite the upgrade. And the unused artwork from last year even more so xD
Did rezz logo made it in last time?
Wouldnt it be cool if we get rezzmau5
In honor for the veld festival
Only the orange white REZZ text briefly. It was the pezz twitch streamer logo that someone changed to rezz for a while xD
Lol
Lmao nice
A video explaining the evidence that the April fools event is going to be r/place again:

I do wonder however what the twist is going to be this time, or if it's going to be exactly the same.
In 2017, it was the fist time it happened, so everything was new. 1000x1000 canvas and 16 colors.
In 2022, the canvas expanded from 1000x1000 to 2000x1000 to 2000x2000 and from 16 to 24 to 32 colors and then only white.
In 2023...?
maybe the reverse of 2022 will happen this year?
woah is it really time for this again?
Seems so
Did someone say REZZ logo pixel art? No? Well here's it anyway! 
All righty... The options of what we can do to prepare for <t:1680354000:D> are limited (for now at least until we know more).
Making pixel art, deciding our priorities for what to put on the canvas and speculating about the event.
Maybe Reddit will even bamboozle us with a twist that makes all preparations useless. Who knows!
But for now, all the signs still point to an r/place for this years April Fools.
We can however restore some former alliances.
How to Train Your Dragon was one of our closest, but they still have a locked r/place diplomacy chat, so no communication there.
Should I try to reform our alliance in the general chat, or should we wait?
The whole PlaceNL server is still in lockdown. We'll have to wait for them to open it up again.
The Bronies, another former ally, do have a dedicated server with a diplomacy channel. I can reform our alliance with them right now if we want to.
This allows us to share the template again and we have more people protecting us. What do you guys think?
I can see if I can maybe get some trans peeps to partner?
There's another discord I'm in that did r/place last year and were doing a trans flag
i think our best bet would be to try and work with people we worked with last year
I mean I'm still gonna ask
Cuz it's a huge server and would be relatively beneficial
thats true
Well I sent the message let's see what happens
Shall I ask to restore our allegiance with httyd and the bronies?
if thats possible, yes 100%
Well it looks good
I reached out to Transplace
So far no opposition
Some interest
So a Transplace admin has the server link, they will probably show up in a bit, they're p busy

No promises how thisll go but I said we're chill and trans friendly
I mean you'd have to be to let an enby in here

we're chill? not sure, trans friendly? 100%
Lmao
we love our trans and gays 
Haha
We are now again allied with httyd and the bronies!

It's super nice knowing we now have the same backup we had last year. And we can plan with them and share overlays and scripts from the start instead of much later on!
yep!
i hope the transplace discord is willing to help us too
which would be huge!
Yeah!
Yeah, we were so comfortable in that little httyd corner. The mau5head was (almost) always perfect.
yep!
Btw, we are the first formal allies of both httyd and the bronies. The httyd people even reopened the diplomacy channel for me xD
Same. Those movies are so good!
A little update: I also got invited to the April Knights server. It's a place where a whole bunch of communities make alliances, discuss and coordinate the event. I'm in the process of registering for an alliance. They have quite the vetting process, but large communities such as osu are in it coordinating so it will be really useful.
Nice
you are literally a godsent

Also, here is a userscript that enables the r/place flag in the code, so it is already visible:

Nicee
Also, don't use reddit alts... Don't do that!
Idk whose being serious here
it would be incredibly unfair to other communities if we all prepared alts
so we should definitely not do that
omg so true
Everyone here is 100% serious
Yo what the fuck
Hang on hang on
I just realized something that really pissed me off
Diplomacy update! Behold, the current state of alliances:
Also, I want you guys approval to sign the p3ace treaty to officially be included in this pact. We'll probably co-sign this with httyd:
This is the pact that all members of this alliance must agree to in order to be eligible to join.
- Parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes with non-members through respectful communication rather than resorting to use of force. (Respect)
- Parties agree to avoid actions that threaten the unity of the members. (Stability)
- Parties agree to share objectives and information relating to facilitating self-defense. (Intelligence)
- Parties agree to consult with each other to form plans that require the cooperation of all members. (Cooperation)
- Parties agree that an attack on the established territory of one member is an attack against all. (Defense)
- Parties agree that territory is considered "established" if it exists on the canvas in a substantially complete state. (Territory)
- Parties agree that no other member can be compelled to provide support. (Sovereignty)
- Parties agree to provide support to other members to the best of their abilities, when possible. (Commitment)
- Parties agree to negotiate disputes among members using the proper avenues. (Dispute Resolution)
- Parties may admit new members by a 75% supermajority vote among all existing members. (Accession)
- Parties agree to avoid unsustainable expansion. Members agree to provide public notice of offensive operations. (Aggression)
- Parties may review and change this agreement by a 75% supermajority vote among all existing members. (Modification)
- Parties may withdraw from this agreement at any time unilaterally, provided notice of intent to do so is given. (Withdrawal)
- Parties agree that other members may be ejected from this agreement by a 75% supermajority vote among all existing members. (Removal)
this seems really fair
That's what I thought as well. Everybody who agrees. Please react to it with a thumbs up so I know I can proceed.
This is actually fucking huge thank you so much
No problem! For me, diplomacy is half the fun. Because you can accomplish so much with it, just like last year!
Hello
Heyo!
Everybody, this is Starshine from the Bronie Discord server, we are currently working on a test overlay script.
Not exactly, its currently only the Test-Canvas-Bot (Test-Canvas is a website hosted by the Brony Faction to test bots and get in contact with place for those who never participated in a place event before)
But i can create a pull request to the actual minimap which is going to be used
Bronie 
Yes, thanks for the clarification
To use this website you have to join the r/place brony discord server and get verified by a mod!
But i currently can’t send any links bc of rule 3

Yeah, it is also seen in the video in this reply 🔼
Ah
I have pledged to the pact! Now we only have to wait until a knight makes it official.

I also am experimenting with turning photos into pixel art using the place pallet. It's pretty cool and I can easily convert any picture now in Photoshop.
Here's one of deadmau5 himself:
(the first one is the reference picture, second one is scaled down to 32px and the third one is with the color pallet applied)
The only drawback is that it will only look good if it's pretty large. And we're pretty small.
All right. We really need to start thinking about our pixel art we want to choose. It is important we know what we want as early as possible if we still to have a nice place in the template once we get ratified into the alliance. Here is every design I made so far, with some variations.
My question now is, if you can only choose 1 thing, want do you want to see on the canvas?
And if you have an even better idea that is not included in this template, the time to share is now!
i honestly think we should go with the mau5trap one
because that literally covers everyone who is and was in mau5trap
with the mau5head
And if we go for the mau5trap with mau5head. Which color scheme do you guys prefer? The official all black and white logo? Or the mau5head colored in classic red?
Please react with
or
which you like more.
And if you have any pixel perfect improvements, let me know as well and I'll create a variation with it.
How about kx5 n mau5trap logo combined?
I still think its important to put out kx5 this year
XD
We can do both logos maybe, but not together at the start. The April Knights have assisted in making calculations based on the size of all communities, and provided we are with around 30 people once the event starts (tell your friends guys), we still have a longer build time in comparison than the rest of our allies. So they advice doing 1 piece, and then when the expansion happens (if it happens), the pressure will lower and they are open to helping us built the second one.
Also if anyone is watching this post, but hasn't followed it yet: please do as we get a more accurate estimation of how many people can help out!
This button at the top:
Start with mau5trap
I also have at least one friend who will probably join us
But she has a job so I don't know for sure what the angle will be on the day or how long she'll be able to participate
That's okay, the start is the most important part to claim our territory, and that's on a saturday. Once we are established, it's generally easier.
Ive never really done one of these before but i';ll help how i can
I do have work though on saturday
Hi! I'm glad you can join us! I hope you'll find it fun. And real life always comes first, don't let this get in the way :)
This is just perfect, i have a couple of friends reddit accounts too
WE HAVE TO MAKE IT BIG THIS TIME
Welcome! We will sure try!
For sure
What initial border color for the mau5trap logo do you all prefer? Here are a couple of options:
The complete color palette:
imo, not the white cuz of the eye, but i reckon the blue or red
well i say white, i mean not the top one
Not light grey
Anyone who has a preference, please leave a message which border color you want.
brown
Red
oh shit didn't spot this! guess there's my april 1st-??th booked
I kinda dig the light green. 4x4=12 vibes
Do you mean the orange in the last example, or the brown in the palette?
Do you mean the blue in the 3rd example, or the dark blue in the palette?
sky blue, black or red
or an inverted white/black?
3rd one
same as the r/deadmau5 logo
Okay, I might know an easier way to decide this. Approval voting!
I put each of the 16 color options in this and the next image, everybody vote on these messages with 1 or multiple votes for your preferences.
In the end, we pick the one with the most votes.
So vote on as few options or as many options as you want!
discord brown
I just realised, I made an image with all 16 colors, but technically we can't choose black or white. Because for black we will fade into other art pieces if they are the same color, and white the same reason but for the eye. And that defeats the purpose of a border.
So I can submit our updated design to the alliance in a timely fashion, I will send the new template with the votes as they stand now. Since it's a tie between blue and purple and I have not voted yet, I'll also cast a vote for purple. Feel free to vote after this, if we want to update the color. We can always change the color later on if we want to, based what will look good with the surrounding art pieces.
Alliance update:
The list of eligible factions for the P3ACE Alliance is now being ratified. If no objections are made and the vote passes, this will be the list of allied factions:
April Knights
Science Fiction and Fantasy Alliance
pxls.space
LoveLive
Connecticut College Gaming Club
How To Train Your Dragon
Touhou
UChicago
United Gacha Alliance
Star Wars
Tetris
VA-11 HALL-A
Nanahira/Denpa
Hatsune
Hurdy-Gurdy
Daft Punk
Foxhole
Narrator Nexus
TransPlace
ccKufi Warbirds
deadmau5
Geometry Dash
osu!
American Flag in Place
PlacePride
Hollow Knight
Wait, what is the alliance @main hinge ? Could you approve of the design being bigger and much larger compared to last time?
the alliance is pretty much people that we will not "attack" and they won't "attack" us
like being friends :)
I did. If we compare our combined territory of last time, this logo is smaller. However, compared to last year's start, it's bigger.
Also, the calculations they used were based of a rectangular area, but if we look at just the art piece and leave the rest of the rectangle to others, our placement time is still large, but smaller than they previously estimated. We will have to be ready and go hard at the start to get established.
I do still have to receive the updated template with confirmation about our placement, but I've already got a spot picked out. So I'll keep you guys updated with that.
The advantage we have this year, is that we can be way more structured about claiming territory than last time, and the fact that we already have a massive alliance that won't attack us or make us move (like superstonk or lovelife last time) will make it so that in theory, are uncontested by most large factions.
I made a quick mock-up for the priority for placement at the start, with the goal of quickly and efficiently claiming territory. If we all follow this, we can make a quicker presence than last year when it was complete chaos with moving 3 times before finding a spot.
The P3ACE alliance is considering to go through the list of factions and verify that everybody is the real representative of their faction, instead of the honour system (which is understandable).
Since we don't have a separate deadmau5 r/place Discord, and I am not a moderator on this server, could either of the moderators in this post, @south sierra or @stone adder, please let it know in a reply as proof that I am indeed a representative of the deadmau5 faction? Thanks!
i wanna do it too!!! wait lemme finish my game
Beautiful! That's gonna go straight on the wall above my bed next to my diploma! I especially appreciate the pink comic sans, very nice choice!
That's amazing!
Straight nostalgia for early 2010s internet. Unfortunately I can't print a video for the wall above my bed next to Xythium's certificate, so I might have to cover my room with every frame of the video to proudly present it for everybody who visits!
wait, so people are already preparing for the r/place? Where is alliance even on?
i can get a couple of accounts to go hard and fast co-ordinately from my side easily.
That's great! The more people the merrier!
Do you mean where does the coordination and planning take place?
that also but you say you are submitting your proposals to the alliance, where is it all happening. the planning, locations, and agreement for each artwork is what i wanted to ask.
It's happening in the P3ACE Discord server. Where the leaders and representatives of all the participating alliance factions discuss all of those topics.
Alliance update:
This list has now been ratified. We are now all officially part of the P3ACE alliance!
Lets goooo
First faction join request vote, let your thoughts know below with a reaction of 👍 👎 🤐:
VTubers Place is petitioning to join the Alliance. Factions, please vote "Yay" or "Nay" or "Abstain".
Here is a timestamp until r/place opens if it's the same time as last year. Automatically adjusted for your local time zone.
This is just as a rough guide, so we can all plan for it. But it may open way sooner, later, or not at all. So keep that in mind. There is no way to know just yet.
<t:1680354000:F>
<t:1680354000:R>
amazing
Take this with a huge pinch of salt! But someone at the Snakeroom (the guys who discovered the code for r/place) found this:
Reddit has supposedly told mod council users that r/place is happening and someone shared this image
It appears to be an internal mock-up for the ui of r/place with a new feature to pin a location to a community. And the tiny subreddit r/NYCMetalHeads used as a placeholder is owned by this guy: a UX designer at Reddit
Oh fuck yeah
However, the guy who leaked this image, also says that r/place will take place on Reddit's 18th birthday, June 23rd... So make of that what you will:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Antidigitalisten/comments/120zy10/wird_wieder_ein_fastenbrechen_geben_dieses_jahr/
https://www.reddit.com/r/schwiiz/comments/123h8wi/rplace_2023_startet_am_23_juni/
Hm
We'll still be preparing for April 1st, because this is fresh from the Snakeroom and just speculation for now, this leak is not confirmed. There is still a big chance it will happen, I'm just relaying information.
From the Snakeroom:
TL;DR is that there is enough evidence for two conflicting rumors that neither can be conclusively ruled out.
The first is that /r/place will happen on April first (assets and code matching /r/place showed up suspiciously close to April).
The second is that /r/place will happen on the 23rd (the claim comes from a Swiss meme subreddit, accompanied by a mockup of a new feature for /r/place showing a placeholder subreddit owned by a Reddit UX designer)Neither of these hypotheses have concrete evidence backing them up, and it's incredibly unlikely that they'd both be true.
I personally believe the evidence that it's April 1st more, because of the tangible assets and code that are still present in the new update that rolled out yesterday.
And there is still zero code detected for another April Fools event, other than the r/place code. It seems incredibly unlikely that there will be no event this April since they hosted one every year since 2007. We'll have to wait and see.
@main hinge what if we half mau5 and half Rezz? It’s a lot I know. But like… what about both?… 
I don't know if that would fit nicely. If there is a canvas expansion just like last time, we could build Rezz on new territory if we are able to, because then it becomes easier to defend because there is more room. We'll have to wait and see, and adjust our plans dynamically according to the situation and if Reddit decides to bamboozle us.
^
Yeah
New post by a Reddit admin going through the history of April Fools events on Reddit. The ending has a particular focus on the most loved and popular event... r/place.
Also the post image is of potatoes, like "hot-potato", the codename of r/place. Coincidence?

Hello
WHAT DO YOU WANT
Ok.
Rip r/place plans lmao
Why

Since it has been April 2nd for half an hour for me, it seems like r/place is not taking place on April Fools exactly. However, the April Knights are solving the ARG and they are suggesting that at the end, r/place is waiting as a prize. I haven't followed everything exactly, but this is what they have so far:
r/schrodingers posts:

Yes, a maybe...
Hm
We will, again, have to wait and see.
please let the suspense end
Latest ARG update! It all has lead to this video... of a potato... like a hot-potato... the codename for r/place..?
Or it's just a dissapointing joke that Reddit runs on a potato pc...
https://www.reddit.com/r/trdfz_v/comments/1281uvz/sciei_q/
r/place is 8243957664253789% happening
Poe tae toe
boil em mash em stick em in a stew
Event update...
We are basically in ARG purgatory. All puzzles that have been released have been solved, ending with the video above of the potato.
Typically when an ARG is finished, an official post or statement is made congratulating everybody for reaching the end. No such confirmation has been posted. The lack of closure is very annoying and disappointing for all of us.
In the past April Fools events where an ARG was used, it was as a lead up to the event, with the event being the finale or prize when it has been completed.
Messages from the Reddit Automod imply that more information might appear on r/schrodingers, but no new information has been posted for over half a day. Basically, leaving us absolutely in the dark with nothing to solve, or do, with no end in sight. All the r/place code and assets added that implied the return, are still present in the code, with no changes. There still is the rumor that r/place will open with Reddit's birthday, June 23rd, but why update the app now? It doesn't make any sense.
If this is truly the end, this is the first time since 2007 that there is no Reddit April Fools event. Only an ARG leading to a video of a potato, in which only a couple hundred people participated, instead of the millions of people who could have participated in an event. Which is incredibly disappointing. Not a return of r/place, not even another event, but just nothing...
If this is not the end, which is very unlikely at this point, we have no clue when something will happen. I am watching all developments and I will keep you guys updated. But my hopium has been replaced with copium... 
Maybe the real April Fools was the friends we made along the way...
For now, this post will be archived or closed and go into hibernation until r/place actually happens. This also is the case for all the servers of our 3 dozen allied factions who were preparing with us. Our pixel art, allies, diplomacy agreements, templates, overlays, code, and all other preparations, will be kept on standby if r/place returns.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and participation! At least we are now very well prepared for the next iteration of r/place, whether that's tomorrow, this summer, or 4 years from now.
i will be closing this post on <t:1680544800:F> (<t:1680544800:R>)
unless something else happens...



Thank you for all the efforts you made!
Event update!
I have been watching the Reddit event developments like a hawk, and despite not wanting to give you guys false hope, there has been so many new discoveries regarding the return of r/place that I need to keep you updated so that we are ready if it does happen.
The evidence found so far:
- The codename for last year's r/place experiment was
hot-potato, this year the r/place code was found under the new codenamegarlic-bread. - If setting the flag to enable the new experiment in the browser, the r/place embed and button returns. The same applies for the mobile client.
- The assets for r/place were removed once people started brute forcing the server to find the actual r/place code.
- The ending hint of the awful April Fools ARG was a response to the code
even garlic breadwith a gif of a cat with a clock, suggesting a delay for r/place. - A new mobile app update rolled out after the ARG that changed the r/place embed to
garlic-bread, the same thing as the desktop app. - The assets are now back under the
garlic-breadsubdomain (logo, loading icon, sounds, etc...) and the date they were last modified was April 4th, way after the ARG. - A brand new test canvas was discovered using last year's API under the new 2023
garlic-breadsubdomain that showed that Reddit admin accounts placed pixels to test it. - People were also able to place pixels on this canvas, meaning the server backend r/place code was enabled again yesterday.
- Reddit admins quickly shut the r/place API down once people were placing pixels.
This all suggests that r/place is returning. All they need to do, is flip the switch.
Unfortunately we don't know when this will happen. If we speculate what the optimal time would be for Reddit to enable it, the most likely scenario is that it will start during this Easter weekend, or the rumoured Reddit's birthday on June 23rd. But anything is possible at this point.
So if you want to, you can be on standby this Easter weekend and June 23rd and watch this post for any announcements!
(Be warned though, nothing is certain, so don't get too excited yet!)
If you want the a full recap in video format, watch the following video. I highly recommend it for a complete and visual picture of all the evidence so far!

CORRECTION: The text "March 14th, 2023" shows up while I say "March 24th". March 24th is the correct date.

Another event update:
Reddit made a new post in the ARG subreddit r/schrodingers called: "META // PHASE 01 RECAP":
https://www.reddit.com/r/schrodingers/comments/12l1uvf/meta_phase_01_recap/
It starts with this paragraph, basically again confirming that they are working on something special... Most likely r/place, I assume with a new twist like last year:
"This year we did not run a traditional Reddit social experiment on April 1st, and made that announcement in r/Reddit. Why? Because we are busy working behind the scenes on something special for fans of our Reddit-wide events. Stay tuned."
Also, a new version of the mobile app (v2023.14.0) has been released. And when enabling the experiment again, it no longer shows the "Baked Potato" code name under "Community Events" on the sidebar, but instead just directly says "r/place" under "Happenning Now" (and yes, they really misspelled happening).
So Reddit is still on track to release r/place in the near future, most likely on the previously leaked Reddit's birthday on June 23rd. But still no other hints or confirmation on the release date yet, so we will have to wait and see.
my bets are on a permanant r/place that is advertised as randomly closing on some date in the future, but never does
Event update!
There is another new Reddit app update, titled "Just a pinch of an update for seasoning this week.", seasoning for garlic bread (the r/place codename).
A new "Explore communities" button has been added. And if you go anywhere else in the app, a small version of the canvas appears in the corner.
This has the same style and community integration as the Reddit Mod Council leak. The same leak also said that r/place will return on June 23, Reddit's 18th anniversary. So now that seems highly likely to be the truth!
Below is a video with the explanation:

ew
they know they fucked up 💀
missed opportunity to say R/(ight) place
The fact that someone said they're going to distract us with this is right, and I hate to admit it, it'll probably work

Amazing job team! At this rate we will be finished in no time!
lmao
I think it just uses white to compare for now
Whats a protest art?
I'll help once i get home
Some people are going to make art in the center of the canvas protesting against the API changes. Although I would suggest to be careful participating with your main account because there is a chance Reddit will ban it on r/place just like some people who participated in stream attacks last year. You never know how totalitartian spez will be.
yooo fuck u/spez
I can't help you guys on Saturday and Sunday bc of barbenheimer
ITS HAPPENING
ITS TOO SMALL!!!
where are we doing the thing
literally half the size
No it has negative coords!
Bdan can you move the template by 500 px to the left and top?
yes
And then do /grid tracked
I can't find it
close your app and open it again
Everybody use the overlay script or the template above!
is it just me or does the template not work 
that's what I'm saying
overlay**
I’m on mobile right now, so I can’t check. For now it will have to be this template. @south sierra can you pin that?
this too
Yes, focus on the black borders to get us settled. Reference the priority placement guide!
yes
I'll go left, what about you?
@sturdy flare can you do us a huge favour??
can you pls pin 439, 152 to the deadmau5 reddit?
why left???
why not? we need to make the black borders right?
cuz you do that
do you mean right?
dannnnnyyyyyy
my stupid ass doesn't know what left or right

it's possible i think
We will persevere if we just keep going at it!
the strategy for the mau5head is to start from the top
like the ears
then we'll close in on them realizing what we're trying to do
I'm gonna start with the letters
That’s a good idea 👍🏻
remember, do the borders on the mau5head first
on it
😬

450 157
that's what I'm doing
uh do the outline
it isn't that hard one mobile
Idc if that's what you're doing founchki it's not what I'm doing lol
Ty dannyboi
And yes sir bdan!
We should make a silhouette first & then fill in the letters, sounds easier to me
^
the reason I'm doing the letters is cuz otherwise it's just a black rectangle
Ooooh I gotta find my alt passwords now
I highly recommend yall make alts for this
Or else it's going to be hell
I will need to whip out my 3gb eam amd e 300 2011 laptop now

GUYS
the fuck spez above us
someone tell them
can we ally with greece?
maybe
most importantly, where's josh?
yeah it'll take off the first leg of the m
i don't think there's an exclamation mark
for now, how's greece
oh we fine then
@south sierra go talk to Greece please if necessary, I’m gone for the next hour.
noooooooo
i think they are done..?
we're about to be on the offensive soon
what if start extending horizontally and cut off the top of the head?
Maybe I'll use my pron account too
aite I've gotta go to bed
please take pics as it goes along
ok gn 🫡
Gn founchki
you'll start on the rest of the head, I gotta fix the p
o7o7o7o7
o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7
o7
So apparently I can't access r/place on my pron account lol
I wonder why...oh well. More accounts
Border is coming along
@dry moon, if you're on purple border patrol, can you start on the bottom border
Make sure yall are monitoring reddit dm's for anyone trying to team up
Sure Danny I can
Very close
Very close
also is the blue covering the face part of greece?
cuz that could be an issue
I think we're about to be done with the head
If it's still going after six I'll slide in for a little
Of course it'll still be going
Does it work on mobile?
Cool
I'm on mobile switching between 5 accounts
I can also maybe pop in a few pixels on my break
multitasking my ass off
Not allowed to have my phone on me while I'm working so
OH NO GREECE FUCK FUCK FUCK
Okay, true
But, I don't want us to lose the head
If an ear has to be behind the flag then so be it
yeah i will try and talk to them
Hold up
Mau5trap x Greece!
Mau5trap x Greece!
Mau5trap x Greece!
yeah just dm that
Where can I slide in
no context
Lmao probably not a good idea
😆
Canadian, check the Google doc
I'm on cooldown but I'll be on head border patrol
Link
im focusing on the logo tbh
can't find canada anywhere
this is their fucking thing they want to make
AND they are using bots
yeah
in java
what did greece say?
Where on the map are we
452,152
Found kt
I'll give you my alt accs info bdan
*it
we're below greece
found canada
It'll never be correct like last year
I'm defending the M
121 179
fuck the m needs defending???
You'll probably get maybe four pixels from me before I have to work
Make alts Canadian
Can't
every little helps
Those 4 pixels could be 16 pixels
I'm about to go to work
i just sent them a message
I'm too busy lmao
google don't like me making email addresses
Tonight tho I'll be here more
Took me 2 seconds
😬
we need to relocate to where canada is
say joel is secretly greek
Lol
then make a deepfake of joel saying how he loves greece
Say he plans on having a month long residency in Greece
yeah
I need to finish this course exam, be back in 15-20m
lemme me do some alts
can't we just move down?
im getting ignored :/
if only tampermonkey worked...
Yeah :(
because the plan was this
it works for me now, just had to update it
Bottom border is coming along danny
It helps that I have a handful of alts to fight the guys under us
I sent them a dm but no response yet
to who?
I think it's boca juniors
they can't shift down one?
I was wondering the same thing
yeah the red border is kinda fucking us up ngl
Yeah that red border is moving quick
Focus the red border I guess?
I'm going to the restroom to hide for a few minutes to get these last pixels I have in before starting my course lol
they're bots no point
I'm too invested
Im on craptop
no :3
no please definitely do NOT make any alts
yeah i definitely don't have 4 browsers open atm
that would be extremely unfair to the greek wankers above who are definitely all real and not just a bunch of bot accs
Are we moving or no?
Our few human ran alts will go unnoticed to the thousand of bot ran alts
we cant move
Ok
we have to abandon the mau5head i think
We kind of have to fight don't we
We have M back tho
yeah the greek place is absolutely ignoring me
Nvm they're back
@south sierra should we all go in there
Mau5trap x Greece!
Mau5trap x Greece!
Mau5trap x Greece!
gift them some head5
Lmao
😉
@south mountain you need to help if u can cuz I gotta work
we can get a full server announcement maybe 🥺 @south sierra
we gotta move to the right, even if we push back red border, the fuck spez won't show mercy, like look at the z
no sorry
noooo
WAIT

It's better late than never to respond if it means help
"may we have truce"
I'm asking them which community are they from
Anyone else's r/place just white space now?
no
Might be my internet...
we needmore support dis year, compition is hard
I wonder why people hate the leaf so much

Still not working for me...maybe I'll reinstall the app
@dry moon, thoughts?
Where is the Youj at? I can't load the map rn
Where the mau5head would be
overlapping greek flag
IM BACK IN
Well, they seem small rn Danny, and we have to leave the head alone for now
So decline the truce?
Lyndon, you're our second in command, what do you have to say?
Ok
R/place definitely doesn't need an everyone ping
awwww
I already said no 🙄
so you know math bro??? 2x (-1) = 1 now I have to ping everyone

woops my finger slipped on the @ everyone button
what if mannualy ping every1
Idc who it is, if a @ everyone happens for r/place they are getting demoted
/banned
