Wplace

[median moss]

i can help out w the colors

[sullen void]

Used a similar reference for the other two, which went great. But with Scoots, I made a few mistakes...partially because I did it in work day breaks and more or less hastily at times which is not good But with colors specifically, I used google to find out the clear name of their manes and fur to find out what color might fit best by name

[median moss]

yeah aha colorblindness sucks

[sullen void]

that'd be great!
I...just want those three done so I can go on to spread other pony art

[median moss]

habahbah allgood

[swift rock]

I've already replaced the tail outline with the correct colors, just need to let my charges fill up

[median moss]

did a little bit on the back of the head w that

[sullen void]

Thanks, you two!

[swift rock]

Also, the outline for Scoots' body needs a darker color. Right now it's reversed, darker on the inside and lighter on the outside.

No problem!

[sullen void]

Yeah, I did feel like the other way around would have been better, but the color was called 'gold' and I was afraid a 'gold' fur would look weird to normal eyes

[swift rock]

Nah, Scootaloo's natural fur color is a very light orange, and the "gold" color in WPlace matches her color perfectly.

While the regular orange matches her outline in the show.

[sullen void]

My takeaway: I should trust my guts more

[swift rock]

Like I said, you did really well with the other two :)

[median moss]

beige looks closer i thinks

but idk

did i leave the ping on ack

beige - scoots - gold

[edgy torrent]

Yes, they pretty well done, I helped out a bit with Sweetie and Applebloom aswell

[sullen void]

I've got a few pixels to fill in the fur or mane again, just need to now which color goes where - I'm a little unsure now

[swift rock]

I suppose you're right, yeah

Very well, we'll go with beige, once the mane and tail are done. :P

[sullen void]

Thinking about doing her....hmmm, shouldn't f up the colors this time

I assume her head is green?

*hat

[median moss]

dark beige matches it best probs

or light brown

yeah light brown or one of those colors after

i have enough to unlock those colors so it's nw

[swift rock]

This sounds like a joke, but in case it isn't, no, her hat is light brown, with the rim being regular brown.

[sullen void]

Dark beige is paywall-locked

[abstract dew]

Regular brown should work

[sullen void]

It...wasn't a joke sadly.

[abstract dew]

I know people who were surprised to discover that peanut butter is not green

[sullen void]

Soo brown tones for the hat then

[sullen void]

I...never thought about the color of peanut butter

[hollow axle]

time for the morning pixel placing.

[sullen void]

What color tone does Applejacks fur have?

what is a peach color

[median moss]

there's not a good super-close choice or her fur honestly

fill in with yellow maybe?

peach is p pinkish

[sullen void]

Yellow outline, light yellow fur then?

alright

Just need to get some outlines done so I can somewhat hastily fill color tomorrow when I find the time mid day

doing acurate pixel work on a phone drives me crazy

[median moss]

well based on the image itself

i think probablye like um

[sullen void]

Wait...if her fur's yellow, what's fitting for her mane

I hate asking AI for this, but eeh...hmmm

[median moss]

yeah i think you'll have to orange for her fur

and dark orange outline

closer to her normal colors

[sullen void]

Dark orange is paywalled

[median moss]

oh oof

[sullen void]

though I think I can get one color free

idc, got dark orange

[median moss]

i can fill out the outline

ohh nw

[sullen void]

Ooh...seems like I somehow got more of those 'Droplets' needed for new colors with time

alrighty then!

[median moss]

yes yes

you get 500 per level and 1 per pixel placed

[sullen void]

Is gold and light yellow a good combination for her mane?

Seems better to my eyes than yellow and light yellow

[median moss]

lemme see

i do think light yellow is the closest for her hair

[sullen void]

I hope this looks better later on

[sullen void]

Yup! And golden outlines?

-# Gotta get to bed for today, guess I'll have to think about it further tomorrow

[median moss]

light goldenrod looks the best as a hair outline with regular yellow as the second closest

i am ofc basing the colors off of her uhh

regular show model since it's less desaturated

i wonder if you can fit in her freckles haha

[sullen void]

[median moss]

haha she'll probably be harder to mess up

i assume you're colorblind in like red-green?

is that protanopia? i think?

[violet dew]

Oh hey

she's finished!

we did it

[novel marsh]

[swift rock]

Well, background still needs work, but I'm still on it

Just helping Million with Scoots first

[sullen void]

I...checked once and forgot. But yeah, basically.
I apparently see about half the color volume most ponies do

Really gotta get to bed for today though, so goodnight!

[median moss]

it does seem the one that would mess with scoots' colors the most

oo ofc

[swift rock]

Goodnight!

[median moss]

night friend

[violet dew]

and now that we finally finished this sunshim...

... I'll go make another one

a hors this time

[violet dew]

that's alright, I'll also throw in a few leftover pixels to complete the background now that she's all finished

[novel marsh]

im filling up the background, from the bottom left corner

[violet dew]

a different person seems to have wanted to help out by deleting some of the grey pixels around the outline

they're supposed to be there but it's not super intrusive and doesn't make it look worse or anything so I don't care too much about it

[swift rock]

Hmmm, it seems that Scoots' face and mane got a bit shortened, but it's not possible to fix because Sweetie's in the way. Guess we'll just have to do what we can.

[violet dew]

that looks about good enough right?

[hard cosmos]

yayyy pretty

[novel marsh]

looks good to me

[hard cosmos]

sunset shrine

[violet dew]

some of the pixels look a bit weird on the face there

but I can sort them out later

Oh right, whoops, the coordinates
X: 1188 Y:1175 X: 46 Y: 545

[hollow axle]

long long glimmy is getting longer

[violet dew]

in case anyone wanted to help, but honestly I think I can do this one alone now that I have more pixels if you guys are doing other things so no worries

I can also help out on any other stuff anyone else might be working on

Started out with an eye but I might wanna put down some pixels on the outlines first once I get back some more pixels

[novel marsh]

i can help out, i dont have much else going on

[violet dew]

Oh I don't plan on doing the background for this one but that still works so thanks

I mean, the background would be fine maybe but I'm probably gonna finish sunset first and then I'll see

[novel marsh]

noted

[abstract dew]

I didn't put cloudy there because of the very suggestive art right next to it, and i wanted to be able to take screenshots lol

[violet dew]

Oh yeah someone just so happened to put that right next to this spot

I don't even understand how some people have 1k pixels already

I've been at this for what, like 3 or so days now? and i barely have 300

[hollow axle]

money, the answer is money

[violet dew]

snoot finished

[abstract dew]

How boopable!

[real hamlet]

so thats how you are placing all those white pixels

god bless you soldier

[hollow axle]

yeah i have a high max and it means the morning i have lots to place

[violet dew]

I only have 391

I should've bought max charge upgrades instead of extra charges early on...

[swift rock]

I have 290 so far. Right now I'm grinding for colors, since they're much easier to get than the flags.

[violet dew]

I have 11.5k pixels dropped already

geez

[abstract dew]

i bought the 3 colors needed for autumn blaze, then saved up for a profile pic, now i spend it all on max charges when i have enough

[hollow axle]

i have all colours 2 flags and the high max and i wasted 80$ with wplace

damn yeah ok maybe i should have spent less monies

[abstract dew]

[violet dew]

:opalinespin:

[silk shore]

How long does wplace last?

[wraith dew]

I will keep placing pixels until it ends

the optimist in me says "well they have purchasable stuff, so I assume for awhile" but they could just take their money and close it tomorrow

@obtuse snow and I put a lilac from freedom planet on my house

I have seen only 1 other freedom planet rep on the entire w place, granted the earth is huge and who knows if another one is place somewhere since the last time I did an extensive look

[novel marsh]

no deadline is given, so im guessing its gonna stay for quite some time

much like the other r/place clones that popped up since the original

[wraith dew]

you'll be very surprised what happens immediately after this shot

[violet dew]

I probably would be if I hadn't already watched that scene before lol

[wraith dew]

[novel marsh]

...what happens after the shot

[wraith dew]

[swift rock]

Either death or some birds-and-the-bees stuff, if I had to guess.

Based on the reactions

[violet dew]

It's nothing too graphic to be fair, she and her partner are trying to sneak into a building so she walks up to the guards and rips open her top to distract them before they knock the guards out

[sullen void]

Thanks to all of you for fixing up Scoots I did make a few mistakes there, but I'm happy the CMCs are now finished

[sullen void]

Making good progress

[swift rock]

That's really good! The colors look great!

[sullen void]

Thanks to liv

[sullen void]

What'd be a good color for that ribbon?

[median moss]

it's red on her normal colors so go for that

red and u can use the deep red for outline or unlock dark red

i can put the dark reds in tho

[jolly mulch]

I'd say green but the greens that are free are so ugly

[sullen void]

I'll uuh, do it somewhat simple and use red for now thanks!

[violet dew]

cute

https://tenor.com/view/balancing-bipedal-mlp-my-little-pony-sunset-shimmer-gif-11403629470392844695

Nice!

uhm...Red and green for applejacks cutiemark?
Wait, does that even make any sense

eeeh I'll do that later

[edgy torrent]

Helped out at the tail there before a bit

[sullen void]

Yeah, I saw that! thank you!

[edgy torrent]

[median moss]

red is the big one

fixed it no worries

Maybe I can copy something over from Equestria

hmmmm

[jolly mulch]

turn that frown upside down

[sullen void]

this will take some time though

[abstract dew]

Amazing! Thanks for all the work everyone contributed!

[hollow axle]

thing is now. what next

[jolly mulch]

I got this one if y'all are up for some raritwi representation

[novel marsh]

I can help
looks massive, where would it be?

[sullen void]

Who's the original artist of this piece, btw? Like, the original piece. I'd love to get a shirt with this printed

[novel marsh]

do you have a template to export for the overlay?
when im using the image you posted, it tells me theres a lot of conflicting colors

[jolly mulch]

actually yours is correct, the pixels there were done without a template

[novel marsh]

oh

alright ill get to work then

some of the others got a little messed around with too

by a guy from ''invacion bolivia''
they didn't even spell ''invasión'' correctly

[sullen void]

Do you think the best way to reach them would be DeviantArt? Or is there a better way?

2012 holy hay

wonder if they're even still in the fandom

Probably not ethical to do a shirt print for myself then?... ouwwww

[swift rock]

I'm currently at war with a guy trying to vandalize a Palestinian flag just a little ways southwest of the Equestrian area. It's the second time I erased his "losers!" sign, and the second time he did it I erased it again and I put hearts there instead.

[hard cosmos]

i got griefed for the first time yesterday, i can't even share what they did here but it was easily fixable

i will just say they tried to do something nsfw to my art of a character who is literally a minor

i reported them but idk how reports work on wplace apparently their moderation sucks

[jolly mulch]

as far as I know it's a pretty small team, I imagine they have to pick their battles

[hollow axle]

@heady cape you might have seen afew attempts to upload an image by me to your file host and it fail.

{
"error": "Failed to initialize upload",
"details": "EROFS: read-only file system, open '/app/uploads/.metadata/1db31c9ef1426131517ead232cd8850f.meta.98c9d859.tmp'"
}

guess upload no workie for now. no biggie

[swift rock]

Welp, he and his buddies are at it again, now trying to outright erase the word "Palestinian" on the flag and replace it with...something regarding reproductive organs.

I just used up all my pixels though so I have to wait before I can help defend it again.

[heady cape]

Something seems to have broken at home. My auth endpoint is getting a bad gateway status. I'll see if I can fix it from here, but if not I'll be home with access to fix it again on Tuesday.

[hollow axle]

no biggie local files work after all for the overlay

got to love when things break when your out though

[heady cape]

Especially when my network is explicitly set up to have no local ports open to the internet so I have no backdoors in

[hollow axle]

i have an emergency back door i can open beucase udmp can be managed though unifi portal

enable a rule and i can ssh into certain machines

[swift rock]

Almost done! :D

Just a few more passes, and then the background will finally be done

[violet dew]

[violet dew]

Oh wow

Wooden Toaster

Man I hadn't even thought about Wooden Toaster for like over a decade now

[hollow axle]

LOL i wrote the 'cute ling' message havent checked back didnt know Blush had been written under it

[hard cosmos]

the lyra and bonbon eqg is so cute

[swift rock]

Was gonna head to bed, and then some idiot planted a racial slur next to one of the Ponies. Sleep can wait a few minutes while my paint recharges.

Aaaand erased. Fuck racists.

[hard cosmos]

eww

people really have nothing better to do huh....

[swift rock]

Done!

Now then, is there any other big project going on that someone needs help with?

[jolly mulch]

not that big, but we've been working on this one for a couple of days

[swift rock]

Oof, that looks...complex.

[violet dew]

aaaaand she's done too!

well, almost, gotta fill up her eye there first

hmmmmm.... do I have space for another one....

[violet dew]

That'd be a pretty good idea for a smaller one if I could get the size right

Oh by the way I'm not doing the background for this one

It's a little too busy I think just sunshim by herself looks better

[novel marsh]

alright ill erase the border

[jolly mulch]

btw @novel marsh, people in the raritwi server are thanking you for the black pixel you left for orienting very clever

[novel marsh]

glad to hear it worked

[hollow axle]

Yeah I've done similar on others it's pretty useful when the export for overlay can't be shared

Or using different overlay plugin

[violet dew]

alright, got finished cleaning up some pixels of that sunshim, and now that those are finally finished... I'll do another one!

Got just enough space for one more

[swift rock]

The Shimmy Space!

[violet dew]

the shim corner

it's not much, but it's honest work

I'll wait to get a few more charges before i start this just so I can properly outline the whole thing

[novel marsh]

do you have the image? for the overlay

[violet dew]

Oh yeah, if anyone wants to help (Tl 1188 Tl 1175 Px 173 Px 635 )
you don't need to though if you're working on other stuff you've already helped a bunch with the other two ones

no background either so I'll just be outlining the hair first, just put down that square border first to roughly indicate where the image will go so no one else draws over it

[wraith dew]

wait, where is the source for that piece of sunshim art?

[violet dew]

It's by Reiduran I had it in my sunset shimmer folder from years ago

[hard cosmos]

sunset army

[violet dew]

It's a Sunset paradise

[violet dew]

woooaah

did this thing glitch out or something?

where did all those points come from I've been idling for like 2 hours

[hollow axle]

hmmm i have more dropletts then i did before as well

[violet dew]

Did they give out these points or is this some weird mass hack that someone gave out to everyone? sounds farfetched but, I mean it could be possible

[hollow axle]

you think if they were planning to there would be an anouncment

[median moss]

oh wow yeah

i got it too

15k -> 25k

[violet dew]

I don't even know if I want to spend these just in case it's a glitch

[novel marsh]

ill take one for the team and spend it all
ill let u guys know if i get banned

[violet dew]

and that's the last we ever heard from em

[silk shore]

looks like wplace is working for me on firefox

[novel marsh]

yup, firefox is what I am using

[silk shore]

i think everyone got 10k droplets

[hollow axle]

I wonder if it's because things have been a little unstable with the UI and leaderboards and the clownflare rate limiter has been a little sensative

[violet dew]

Well I guess I'll spend those droplets too

[swift rock]

Hmmm...unlock five colors, or get a TON of new charges?

I think the colors might be better

Assuming the 10K is still there once I get home.

[silk shore]

i bought more max charges, i have under 200 charges

[swift rock]

I have over 300 right now

[violet dew]

I would get a ton of charges, but I learned from my mistake early on so now I'm just doing as many max charges as I can, usually just idling for like an hour or two already gets me a ton anyways and once I come back from bed and log in I'll have the max amount too

541 max charges right now, I could go up to 651

[novel marsh]

this should be enough

i think ill focus on new colors from here

[wraith dew]

not a glitch

[violet dew]

Good to know, I was wondering whether it was a gift or not

Now the question is

Will all these extra points make it easier for people to start griefing other people's work? we'll see

[novel marsh]

it makes it easier to grief, but also makes it easier to fix the vandalism
so it cancels out i guess

[sullen void]

ouwww gotta help my fellow Stuttgarter out here

in big cities, it feels almost like a lost battle sometimes trying to fight griefers

[edgy torrent]

Yeah pretty much

And it's only good if we're gonna help out the LGBT Community aswell

[edgy torrent]

Seems like Rainbow Dash is restored fully back again

[silk shore]

gonna draw keldeo in the outskirts of the equestria area

[wraith dew]

what the fuck, this is false, how do you even prove this?

okay, is it reading that I multiple emails? because yes I have those, but I don't even know what the void is or use those emails, seems I just got shot because reasons?

[jolly mulch]

yeah it's an unfortunate reality of being a small team in charge of something that exploded in popularity, they can't moderate manually so they have to resort to automatic stuff

same reason why it captchas you every 30 seconds. Blanket ban on everyone with multiple accounts is harsh but reliable

at least the suspension's pretty short? I guess the fix is make sure the browser you use to enter wplace is always logged into the same email

[wraith dew]

yeah, it always is

[violet dew]

I'm using a separate browser just for this sort of thing

That and the whole script installing thing which I kinda don't want on my main browser too

[median moss]

i feel like theyre overestimating a bit how many people actually want to deal with voids

[wraith dew]

I actually wonder if that's why I was suspended was for the overlay pro

considering I actually don't use it either

[violet dew]

I kinda doubt a script would get you banned or suspended since it's not really placing down pixels for you or botting or anything, so it should be fine

[wraith dew]

I have done my artworks by hand measuring using windows paint and eye balling refercing

[violet dew]

but recognizing multiple emails is probably making them automatically think you're using multiple accounts

[median moss]

ya i don't think they can detect the overlay either

[violet dew]

the shim corner is going well

I've been too focused on getting these finished I gotta look around a bit to see what other people might've done, there's a lot more pony art here now

it's spreading

just like long starlight is spreading

she's getting even longer

[novel marsh]

@swift rock if u still want something to do here, you can fill in this area. its all the same color, Yellow and Deep Red, for the Arms/Chest and Dress respectively

[swift rock]

Unfortunately I am at work, but if there's still pixels to be placed once I get home, I'll help out.

[violet dew]

Alternatively you could also help remove some of the borders I didn't get around to removing later too

[wraith dew]

if anyone wants to help, i am drawing east of equestria with middelburg #1 (2500, 2000) being the anchor for the image

gonna save up some droplets to get the south africa flag to save more charges

[normal aspen]

big WIP

[sullen void]

I still haven't taken care of installing that overlay extension

Would have saved me some nerves

[swift rock]

Couldn't help out with Sunset, sorry. Currently dealing with a massive griefing attack against a nearby Palestinian flag, and I'm rather invested in that flag and keeping it clean and respectful.

[sullen void]

Good luck!

[swift rock]

Shit, they just wiped out a ton of my work in front of me, and I'm out of pixels.

[sullen void]

[swift rock]

It's a coordinated group, at least 4 different people

[sullen void]

reminds me of some pixeled text I saw to a spot where two parties were griefing each other.
It said something like "You two, stop griefing! Voice your opinions, but do it by adding to an artwork instead of destroying one!" and I feel that a lot. Also makes wplace a much more interesting piece in general.

Then again, there's also some opinions I don't have a high opinion on myself, and lots of stuff that's just queerphobic, racist, sexist etc.

There was a n*zi fighting with somepony else nearby the spot where I drew a few ponies, and I stood clear of that area very consciously because I did not want to spend time or energy on that war In the end, it was nothing but a pixel mess with one party threatening the other, while the other tried to erase or counter-argue racist and aggressive comments

[swift rock]

I've already spent several days defending this flag, erasing griefing attempts, erasing slurs, erasing multiple calls of "Losers!", and erasing attempts at changing some of the words into more inappropriate ones.

I am fully invested in keeping it safe. The only way I will stop is if they erase the whole flag, and they're too lazy and too cowardly (and too basic) to do that.

In any case, I need sleep. I'll finish the rest later, assuming they don't grief it again

[edgy torrent]

Wonder where that was, atleast hopefully not in the area something like that happened where I been helping out some bit too

[silk shore]

a lack of a report button is concerning
checked the official discord and they also don't have a way to report users for breaking rules (mainly griefing and griefing using multiple accounts)

[edgy torrent]

Yeah that would be actually helpful

[normal aspen]

report button is (randomly)available to some but not all users

[silk shore]

bruh 💀

[swift rock]

Flag is defended, and the griefers are asleep. I can now help with Sunset a bit before I have to go to work

One and a half arms done now. :)

[jolly mulch]

queue system

[golden rain]

Discord was originally the only way to report. Announcement on Aug 19: " Wplace: Hey everyone!

We were un-equipped to fully handle the the influx of users to the platform and had issues handling the amount of workload that came with that popularity we now have. We've seen the frustrations you have had with properly moderating the site, and we want to do something about it.

Therefore, to reduce our workload, the discord server has been shut down temporarily. We want to focus on making the site the best it can be before worrying about making the discord server the best it can be. We'd appreciate it if you had patience and understand that we're working towards finding a solution to handle the workload.

An in-game moderation tool is being released very soon, and you'll be able to report people on the website instead of through the discord."

I'm guessing it's still locked down since I can only see 4 channels.... but I'm not phone verified so i can't do anything.

[hollow axle]

lol they must be making bank that they didnt expect as well

[swift rock]

The wplace subreddit absolutely hates them and is calling the whole thing a scam.

[silk shore]

the keldeo i am making is gonna take a long time with only 220 charges

[golden rain]

It feels like it. Like ShivalWolf said, got too big too fast (10 million users total on 9/23). Now it seems they are just trying to do what they can to make it seem legit so legal issues don't come up. It was already suspected they used AI to code the site which caused the login security issue (of which, according to someone on the alt sub r/wplace, is still happening)

[silk shore]

i just calculated that it would take me a month worth of pixel placing

[gentle ore]

I know how you feel. I am working on a big project of my own south of Oklahoma City.

[silk shore]

[hollow axle]

its kinda impressive how well dithering works on larger images. if you want colours and dithering to work you really need to make your stuff bigger and spending way more time painting each pixle

[jolly mulch]

good news is you get droplets just by placing pixels

in a week I went from 64 charges to 400

[violet dew]

the shim corner is finished

unless I decide I wanna put another one somewhere else

ahh.....

....now what do I do

[silk shore]

Nice sunsets

[jolly mulch]

I've been writing the lyrics of The Magic of Friendship Grows in the long starlight if you wanna use the pixels for anything

[sullen void]

@edgy torrent

[edgy torrent]

Yaaaay

Amazing Glimmers

and Trixie ofc

[sullen void]

aaargh I can't seem to get the tampermonkey script linked earlier to work
(https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/545041-wplace-overlay-pro)

nevermind, got it Blue Marble works fine

[jolly mulch]

just realized I didn't post the font I've been using

sorry about that

(feel free to make changes on letters you don't like. I've been making the uppercase i less cursive-y, and the lowercase d shorter)

[hollow axle]

thats a rather nice font

ive just been using the 5x5 pixel font

https://www.dafont.com/5x5-pixel.font

[jolly mulch]

I wanted it to look fancy, cuz long starlight is actually pretty wide too

I think she's like 20 pixels?

[hollow axle]

yay for long starlight

yeah shes wide enough for some nice text

[swift rock]

Looool, I can practically grind endless levels on fixing the amount of grief attempts this flag has gotten. They keep doing the same kinds of griefs too, all super easy to fix.

[violet dew]

I now have all my charges, but nothing to spend them on...

I don't really have much more space to put another Sunset in there anymore

[swift rock]

You could always create another Sunset image somewhere else, or even an Adagio Dazzle image somewhere.

[violet dew]

I guess so

I was kinda satisfied with just doing those but I guess I could do another one

[fallow jolt]

The Adventure Ponies are done

[novel marsh]

Damn rip fluttershy

[swift rock]

....Ooooookay someone added some extremely questionable artwork above the Sunset corner...

[violet dew]

Yeah that's been there for days now

[swift rock]

I only just saw it now

I'm surprised they got away with that

[violet dew]

Oh there's full nsfw being drawn in a lot of places

That's relatively minor in comparison

[violet dew]

Alright, now that I have almost 1k pixels as my maximum charges, I think the strat here is to just kinda forget about this website for hours until I get all these charges and I can pretty much get a good 40% of an image done in one go

[silk shore]

nearly done with the outer outline for keldeo

[hollow axle]

hot

Reddthebat does such cute art

[violet dew]

I really thought 840 pixels would be enough to outline most of this but no

well anyways, maidaria is now under construction

[novel marsh]

Aria
would you want help with this as well

[hard cosmos]

yass dazzlings rep

[violet dew]

I'm actually not sure because I don't even know if I'm gonna finish this one so I guess I'll get back to you if i need help

thing is I might have gotten my account suspended (for just a couple hours) because there might be a sort of suggestive Aria piece nearby, that someone might've griefed, and I might've thought it would be nice to try and fix it up for whoever did it all very hypothetical of course

so now I'm wondering whether or not I wanna finish this one, maybe move her somewhere else or just do something else entirely
I guess since I already started it maybe I should finish it...

luckily the sunset trio is doing good otherwise I'd be in trouble

[violet dew]

if you do wanna help out with this one too dao, the coordinates are: 1187-1171 and 298-184
I'm kinda editing some of the pixels as I go, so there's some that may be a mismatch like some dark pixels I added on the left hair bang because the original image makes it dissappear too much, so if you have any extra pixels you wanna dump you can fill up some of the areas I've already outlined with some colors if you want to

or also help finish the outline of the hair, whichever one is fine

By the time they let me out of timeout jail I'll have plenty pixels to finish outlining everything else, maybe, probably

[novel marsh]

could you link to where the spot is?
you can do that by clicking a spot, and click 'share' and copy/paste the link

im having a hard time finding Aria

[violet dew]

oh she's north of where most of the pony stuff is

but yeah

https://wplace.live/?lat=-25.035360458210878&lng=28.704814121777343&zoom=16.218208656292163

that should be the exact pixel to start on too

[novel marsh]

thanks, ill work the outline

[swift rock]

Oh damn, I zoomed out...

[violet dew]

No little Timmy don't look!

[novel marsh]

is that even allowed

[violet dew]

Well I got suspended for a couple hours for trying to fix someone that was griefing it so I'm gonna say probably not!

[hard cosmos]

they might allow it cuz it's censored but it's still like suggestive so idk

[jolly mulch]

goodness gracious

[swift rock]

It's a little too suggestive, I think. It's probably gonna get nuked.

[jolly mulch]

yeah I don't see that lasting long

[hard cosmos]

ive seen worse on wplace

[violet dew]

I have too, that's why I thought this was probably allowed, but oh well, if it does get deleted then no problem, I'll put another Aria around to fill in the spot

[median moss]

ah wplace mods seem to actually have a pretty strict view on it from what ive seen theyre just barely able to actually moderate it

ive seen some mildly suggestive art be nuked for that reason

ok that zoom out is wild

[jolly mulch]

yeah

[median moss]

HAHAH

[violet dew]

''Oh that's a cute maid Aria-- OH MY GOD''

[jolly mulch]

tho as a mod I gotta say we should probably talk about something else

[violet dew]

I appreciate that they just slapped me on the wrist for technically contributing to that, they could've totally perma suspended me and that would've been understandable

[median moss]

no worries

[violet dew]

No worries wplace mods, I'll continue drawing my eqg waifus peacefully as usual

or maybe i'll do a pony next....

I mean we still have time this doesn't seem to be ending soon anyways

[median moss]

get a >hooves under ur art this time

[swift rock]

Well, I just fixed yet another grief on that flag I mentioned before, and I am also helping out with a grumpy Evil!Starlight off to the right of the Sunset Corner.

[violet dew]

I did already do a pony Sunset in my little sunshim corner

but the guy that's doing the really long south africa flag deleted the >no hooves text under my first art

[median moss]

i might add it for the bit haha

[violet dew]

[median moss]

ohh

[swift rock]

I am just grinding levels off of these griefers, lol

[median moss]

less funny eithout the counterpart

i can report myself?

[violet dew]

you can always add back the >no hooves too

that starlight keeps getting longer and longer...

[median moss]

bahaha

let's see

[swift rock]

Oh wait, that was you?

[compact bridge]

Radical

[violet dew]

someone drew a nice Maud on top of long Starlight too

and a beeg Dash

[hollow axle]

need more buggos and battos

[median moss]

haha no not originally

just thought it eould be a good bit if both had contrasting remarks

[violet dew]

I really thought that this wplace thing would super slow down by the time it hit like a week or something and that this place would be deserted but it actually seems to be picking up honestly

so that's nice to see

[median moss]

it is yeah

dq corner got a lot more cool sprites

by people who i think are actually from japan this time hahaha

[wraith dew]

some of the pieces next to the sunset shimmers are interesting that's for sure

[violet dew]

When I started making the Sunsets there was nothing around at all

but oh well at least I got to put three

[wraith dew]

I should say, to the right of the sunset shimmers

[violet dew]

I feel bad for anyone who might stumble upon this because it's starting to spread pretty far outside of where Equestria is supposed to be and it's almost reaching other towns

some of those people are gonna have a big surprise

[novel marsh]

Soon all of South Africa will be conquered by the invading Equestrian army

[swift rock]

Yoooo this one is gonna ROCK once it's done:

[compact bridge]

People below that art in that area of the world:

[novel marsh]

People in the region who are bronies:

[swift rock]

(If that's too memey, let me know, I got it from Fetti's server.)

[novel marsh]

Stickers/emotes have always been teetering on the edge of meme/not meme

[jolly mulch]

memey stickers are fine as long as they're pony and you don't overuse them

also stuff is less strict the further away you go from the mane channels

[violet dew]

alright, back in business
outline finished

only 500 more pixels to place down... manually....

[wraith dew]

ganbatte, nire-san!

[violet dew]

I don't know how many more ganbattes I got left in me

I thought this Aria would be a little too far away from the pony stuff but it seems like it's actually kind of spreading all the way over here too...

some ManePxls people claimed a huge spot right next to maid aria there

a really huge spot

[novel marsh]

holy shit thats HUGE

[swift rock]

That doesn't look like 500. I've got 500 pixels on me right now, and it wouldn't even come close to covering that.

Unless you mean 500 for the inner outlines.

And yeah, that area they claimed is massive. Bigger than Bunnylestia.

[violet dew]

the 500 was in reference to the 570 pixels I had left to place

[swift rock]

(Speaking of which, Bunnylestia got mildly griefed. I fixed it, but it needs two light slate pixels here to clean it up. Unfortunately I do not have that color unlocked yet.)

Oooooh, 570 for the outline.

My bad, thought you meant for the inside

Hey Nire, that black part you're filling in, is it just black?

[violet dew]

The chest and arms area that's already fully outlined.... looks like it's all black pixels yeah

[swift rock]

I meant the dress part

[novel marsh]

yeah

[swift rock]

Alrighty, I'll help with that then

[silk shore]

Gonna help a bit here
I have a spare pixels to use.

[violet dew]

sure

the headpiece at the top is also mostly just white too

if I happen to go away and someone is still wanting to chime in

[swift rock]

Shit.

Shit shit shit I think we have a void forming:

[novel marsh]

i know its been griefed to hell and back, but the lewd art is technically present in the image

[swift rock]

It's not griefed, it's been covered up by the Manepixls group, who have claimed that space above the possible void.

[novel marsh]

fair enough

Ive checked the void, and it looks like only a single person is behind it

[swift rock]

And they covered up all the naughty bits so I felt it was sufficient enough to pass inspection. I was mainly trying to get Nire's Aria in there so that the possible void location could be found easily by others here.

[novel marsh]

so maybe not that big of a threat(?)

[swift rock]

Even so, where there's one void user, more will likely appear soon. It might not be big enough now, but if it starts to grow, I'm whiting it out.

The voids in cities all across the map have destroyed countless art pieces while only saving the "big ones". They'd destroy half of the Pony area if left unchecked.

[novel marsh]

they recently added report button, can use that if stuff gets bad

[hollow axle]

LOL i was scrolling around and thought the curse someone dew was mine for a second

[swift rock]

Yeah, I saw that. I'm waiting on the next griefer of the Palestinian flag to do their thing so I can report them.

[novel marsh]

but yeah if it overlaps the manepixl people's outline, ill join in the counter strike

[swift rock]

Well, anyway, goodnight for now

[novel marsh]

nighty

[hard cosmos]

what is even the point of making a void its so boring and lazy like go make some actual creative art

an entire country in europe got completely covered in a purple void

[jolly mulch]

it was a community for people without a fandom back in rplace, in there it was useful for "cleaning" older stuff and make space for newer

now it's just rolling with that inertia, doesn't make much sense outside of the biggest cities

[still frigate]

Currently getting targeted and griefed by 4ppl or someone with 4 accounts. I don't know why, but they're just deleting my ponies for no reason.

This was last night vs this morning

https://wplace.live/?lat=36.76008176465697&lng=-76.59043978447266&zoom=13.888728245333722 is the location

[violet dew]

once again I thought my 800+ pixels would be enough, but i barely managed to fill up some portions

y'all finished up pretty much all of the outline already though nice

[wraith dew]

more droplets have been given (atleast to me) I think it was another 6k

[swift rock]

I haven't gotten any yet

[violet dew]

Yeah I haven't received anything either

[hollow axle]

you sure you just havent placed a lot and earned those 6k

[wraith dew]

I don't think I placed that much

[hollow axle]

lings on long glimmy

[violet dew]

there's a bunch of small pixel pinkies climbing up the side of Maud too

[swift rock]

Yeah, that's the G5 Revival team at work, lol

There's also a few other people who have instead decided to keep the Pinkie's off of Maud...by making more Pinkies shooting/cutting down the other Pinkies' climbing attempts.

Resulting in a Pinkie Civil War

[violet dew]

there's one random pinkie facing away distracted by a balloon

[swift rock]

I've been dealing with a large griefing attempt around that area, but now that I'm done, I'm gonna let my pixels charge up again so I can create a small Pixel Ponk group trying to build scaffolding up Maud's other side, with a foremare Ponk directing them.

[novel marsh]

I didn't expect a civil war among the pony factions

[novel marsh]

Too many pinkie pies in a nutshell

[swift rock]

The Pinkie Tower is now under attack by a griefer. He destroyed a third of it already, and is also trying to draw genitals on Maud, as well as place random pixels on her legs.

He for some reason has singled Maud in particular out to be griefed.

[novel marsh]

Can you link me the area, I'll help out

[swift rock]

We've got it fixed now, but the Pinkie Tower needs to be rebuilt differently, since it was an organic piece and not something that has an outline to follow.

[swift rock]

It's growing...

It's one guy still, but he's expanding

[novel marsh]

It's like watching a tumor growing

[compact bridge]

IT'S NAHT A TOOMAH

[violet dew]

the flag guy deleted the >no hooves text again

he's very particular about the space around the flag huh...

either that or he thinks it's mean

also I was hoping the gigantic space right next to where maid aria is was gonna be an mlp thing but it doesn't look like it

[median moss]

haha i saw that yeah

left the >hooves at least

[median moss]

they are manepxls group arent they?

[violet dew]

They are which is why I thought it would be mlp related but so far it's looking like it's a skeleton guy and I'm gonna assume it's probably gonna be a One Piece thing

so now my aria is gonna completely look out of place right next to it

[novel marsh]

i will personally grief the one piece behemoth myself

[violet dew]

alternatively I could just do a bunch of other dazzlings around to balance it out

[silk shore]

i need some help with my keldeo

[wraith dew]

finished ushio from kantai collection in the sea east of hokkaido

and this is the image I based it off of

[violet dew]

You know that's giving me an idea

I don't know if you've been picking the locations for your pieces in a similar manner but that made me think about maybe doing a little gunsmith cats thing near where the mangaka was born

[wraith dew]

It is

I wish I could've put the dirty pair in tokyo, but uhhhh, the entire yokohama prefecture is taken over

[violet dew]

I was wondering why it was all the way up there

but yeah anywhere near main cities is gonna be a no go

and even if you did find a spot it would probably get covered up anyways

[wraith dew]

gotta focus on the border of the image first

but I think anything gunsmith cats would be cool

not a lot of retro anime stuff anywhere

[violet dew]

Oh I could do a major kusanagi too

[wraith dew]

seems to be a lot of popular shounen/shoujo/gacha stuff

[violet dew]

and deltarune

[wraith dew]

atleast in terms of anime aesthetic

[violet dew]

I have so much anime on my backlog to get through and all of it is mostly from the 80s-90s

[wraith dew]

it seems the mangaka was born in Kumamoto

but when making gunsmith cats he was living in tokyo

[violet dew]

Kenichi Sonoda yes, and when he worked on Bubblegum Crisis too

maybe I can put somewhere around the waters since it's probably where there's gonna be the most free space

there's so much

never gonna run out

and the best part is I'm only interested in very few new animes coming out anyways so I don't feel like I have to keep up with the new and old

Dandadan, Frieren, Dungeon Meshi and Sono Bisque Doll are the only new animes I can think of right now that I've been keeping up with

[normal aspen]

fyi, it's going to be a mlp crossover thing

[wraith dew]

sono bisque doll

😌

I finished the manga about 5 months ago

and I'm watching S2

[violet dew]

I watched the first season but it was years ago now, but season 2 looks very high quality so it makes sense it took so long

[wraith dew]

it seems even the japanese know the struggle of captcha-san

japanese speaking rarity

[silk shore]

[wraith dew]

ラリティ

[novel marsh]

gunsmith cats pixel art when?

[wraith dew]

there is a shrine for the mangaka yamamoto souichiro on the island of shodoshima with a lot of art from his works

mostly takagi-san

anyways, japan has a lot of sick art pieces

city called "Kitagawa" and there is a bunch of marin-chan

[violet dew]

stress couture desuwa

[compact bridge]

If I'm reading that right it says "pixel fun!"

[swift rock]

It's One Piece and MLP. I saw a bit of the render and am in their server.

It's a massive project

[swift rock]

Also, please don't grief it, I am helping to defend it (I know you're probably joking, just want to be sure)

Good work on the void guy, too. I'd lend a hand but I'm heading to work.

[novel marsh]

yeah lol, Ill leave it be
im focusing on Aria, decent progress so far

[swift rock]

Sorry I haven't been able to help with her that much, I was defending Maud from griefs all day yesterday, as well as helping with Evil!Glim off to the right of the Sunset Corner.

[violet dew]

To be fair the help with my aria is more of an appreciated help than a necessity I almost have 1k pixels now so I can handle it but it's nice to not have to spend as much time on it too I can probably finish her tomorrow

Trying to adequately pick the sizes of any projects I wanna do so I can reasonably finish them on my own if possible

Oh and someone griefed Sunset, very nice

Good thing I checked, I guess I'll get to fixing that later... Hopefully she'll still even be there by then
I guess if anyone wants to help out and has some time I'd sure appreciate it if you can try to fix up some of the damage, the image and coordinates are in here if you need them for the overlay just to be sure

[silk shore]

been removing the void
trying to replace the remaining pixels with a small pixel cresselia

also managed to get the south africa flag 🇿🇦

[swift rock]

Damn, that's rude. Luckily you can report people now with a little button next to their names, so just get the name of the person who griefed her and report them for griefing.

[silk shore]

will help once i can get more charges

[swift rock]

They griefed Sunset again, just saw on another server. Someone really doesn't like her face.

[silk shore]

Griefer is still there

[median moss]

reported them too at least

[silk shore]

also reported them

[novel marsh]

reported as well

[normal aspen]

sensing a civil war about the destroyed aria might happen

[swift rock]

Not really. It's one guy, a couple of his friends, and a bunch of their illegal alt accounts. They posted NSFW art, got mad it was rightfully bulldozed, and are now griefing everyone else out of spite.

One of them even called us all zoophiles.

[silk shore]

bruh

[normal aspen]

idk, maybe trying to co-exist before bulldozing it should've been better?

[swift rock]

One of them also griefed a memorial for a trans peeson who took their own life. I have zero sympathy for these losers.

[normal aspen]

rule: Painting over other artworks to complement them or create a new drawing is allowed

[novel marsh]

wplace has a rule that prohibits nsfw content, which that art was

[normal aspen]

there's another option before "or"

[swift rock]

It would've been bulldozed by a mod sooner or later, and having full-blown NSFW art next to the Pony area would've drawn a whole host of griefers and trolls.

[normal aspen]

for example, put on some clothes?

[silk shore]

they would think it is griefing

[swift rock]

That would've gotten the original creators to come after people still.

They wanted to create NSFW art

[normal aspen]

I'm not exactly sure if all of them are from the same group though

[novel marsh]

putting clothes on would upset them, I feel

[swift rock]

They are

They're all coordinating on griefing other projects

[novel marsh]

you can check a pixel and see who placed it and what faction theyre in

[silk shore]

can some dm me the link for manepixels
would like to help in that one piece x mlp later

[swift rock]

They have the invite link on the left side of the MLP area

[silk shore]

oh

[normal aspen]

I really don't know, staying out of drama is the safest option for me...

[swift rock]

Again, these people have illegal alternate accounts, have griefed multiple artworks (including ones unrelated to the people who bulldozed their equally illegal NSFW art), and ruined a memorial dedicated to a trans woman who took her own life. Twice.

I have zero sympathy for them or their removed artwork. They're trolls.

Oh, they also attempted to draw realistic-looking genitals on Maud multiple times, soooo...yeah.

[normal aspen]

what about planning to erase nire's aria(but stopped)?

[swift rock]

Were they going to do that? I only joined theie server last night so I genuinely don't know.

[normal aspen]

if an unrelated person could be upset by Toaster's deed, then it's likely "those people" are not from the same origin, I don't think it's so simple

[swift rock]

Either way, they seem to have recognized that his art was not part of the group, and they're even helping to defend the Sunset Corner from griefing.

[swift rock]

Except they are all launching attacks on the same artworks at the same time in the same manner.

I spent half the day yesterday fixing up their messes.

Trust me on this, they are in cahoots.

And, once again, NSFW art is explicitly not allowed as per the rules. Neither is multi-accounting. They're all doing both.

[normal aspen]

#1405307450403590205 message

[swift rock]

So even before their art got bulldozed, the site mods had more than enough reason to bulldoze their art anyway.

[swift rock]

Okay, but they recognized their mistake and left Nire alone.

Even before starting their art and bordering they recognized that Nire wasn't part of the NSFW Aria group.

[abstract dew]

i guess lunar's site is still not working

gonna make this in a place, unfortunately it needs paid colors

[novel marsh]

thats looks massive

[abstract dew]

not really

well not as big as some of the things around

[silk shore]

very dithered

it is only 23k pixels to place

Could u link the location pls

[abstract dew]

https://wplace.live//?lat=-25.737916180574715&lng=29.16623990302731&zoom=16.081978252670915

it's this one

with the purple, the anchor

i put some rough black corners around the edges

[silk shore]

got it

[novel marsh]

same, ill be working on it

[violet dew]

alright, I'm up and on the computer

let's see what the damage is and if Sunset is even still there

hm, they went after aria too

I'll have to fix some of the other sunset too

Oh cool they griefed it way harder now that I was just about to fix it

nice

I kinda don't even want to deal with this honestly

[novel marsh]

oh god

[silk shore]

why the hell are they still here

[novel marsh]

im reporting the griefers

[silk shore]

this is like my 4th report 💀
for each time they griefed it

[violet dew]

I don't know what this is all about because I have been doing my thing no problem for like over a week now

I was hoping to get that Aria finished but I'm gonna be wasting all my charges fixing this now

[novel marsh]

i can assist, ill fix the rest of sunset

[violet dew]

it's fixed, I got it

let's hope she stays this way now

I'm gonna not spend all of my remaining charges and wait, I was gonna keep working on Aria but I'm just gonna build up more charges and just keep an eye out in case they decide to do it again

I don't want to be caught off guard with no charges and no way to fix any more potential griefing

[violet dew]

is this what this is all about?

I'm not even remotely involved in this though I literally didn't do anything

[novel marsh]

my man got caught at the wrong place at the wrong time

i thinks its very amusing theyre painting text to communicate

[violet dew]

well... at least the void is gone

[novel marsh]

silver lining i suppose

[violet dew]

oh come on, they're back

[swift rock]

The void, or the Sunset griefer(s)?

[novel marsh]

sunset griefers

[swift rock]

Let me guess...his name is Plain Pencil, or something pencil-related?

[violet dew]

Not really, it's the same guy as before, a V and some numbers

[swift rock]

He's all over the place, griefing everything with like 20 multi-accounts.

[novel marsh]

VK or something like that

[violet dew]

he was trying to remove the top on Sunset's artwork I guess he was trying to make it seem like it was nsfw to get me suspended

[swift rock]

What a loser

[violet dew]

I'm gonna just sit still and save up my charges and I guess just sort of forget about finishing that Aria for now, can't really go and try to start any other new artworks if I got this one guy constantly trying to mess up my stuff

[swift rock]

🫂

Sorry Nire...

[novel marsh]

i can finish up aria

if you want to focus on defending sunset in the meantime

[violet dew]

If you want to but I don't really want to hold anyone up with my stuff so if you have other stuff around to do or help with it's fine

[swift rock]

Your art is worth it :)

[novel marsh]

i dont have my own projects
I made my oc in ponytown version, im content with that
so what I do is just help with other projects

[violet dew]

Technically it's not my art, just the first Sunset I made, but thank you but yeah if you want to help out I won't say no I'll also try to slowly add more pixels to Aria I'm just trying to hold onto 100 at a time or so just in case they try to mess up stuff again so I can fix it quickly

[abstract dew]

oh i see, a flag reduces your cooldown by 3 seconds per pixel placed, adding a charge for each time it goes to zero

[jolly mulch]

wait wHAT

[abstract dew]

*if you place a pixel in that flag's country

[jolly mulch]

southafrican flag come to papa

[abstract dew]

opaline progress

[hollow axle]

It's a shame more and more flags down lower the extra pixel count

But yeah having the one for where you paint is good. But having max count I found far more useful

[novel marsh]

update on the manechat civil war: the art near Maid Aria is apparently abandoned (i checked who placed the pixels and its all the same guy)

[violet dew]

I think they're moving it

[novel marsh]

did they a pic that shows what theyre gonna build

ik someone said its one peice related

[violet dew]

I think GT knows

the Sunsets are doing fine.... so far....

I think the guy griefing the Sunset stuff was a completely different unrelated guy because his username isn't any of the usernames from whatever's going on over there

maybe it was just a random attack

[real hamlet]

Lyra is pretty much complete

[swift rock]

Is it really a Manechat civil war if there were almost no Manechat participants?

ManePixls is a completely different group

And yeah, they decided to just move the whole thing to the side so that the original spot can stop getting re-griefed and so that people would stop arguing.

[novel marsh]

yea i just wanted to mess around with the headline
do you know/have a pic of what their project is?

[swift rock]

Imo, the guy in charge of the mural should've asked first. I hold no sympathy for the NSFW Aria group, since their art is against the rules anyway and they retaliated by griefing other people with alts, but in fairness, the ManePixl guy should've asked them first if they'd be okay with it.

[swift rock]

I do, actually. One sec

[novel marsh]

damn

wonder how long thatll take

[jolly mulch]

40 minutes

maybe more

[violet dew]

If they paid for extra charges, then yeah actually

otherwise.... that's 100% gonna take them like weeks to make

[swift rock]

There's like 1000 people in their server and like half of them have 1000+ pixel charges.

[silk shore]

yup, it saves around 10% of pixels spent

looks like that void guy below the one piece art isn't here, my cresselia art wasn't griefed

[violet dew]

sunsets are doing fine, aria is almost finished, that starlight keeps getting even longer

things are looking in order

[hollow axle]

I spent Soo many pixels on the blue on that dash

Long glimmy is heading for Australia

[violet dew]

bon voyage Starlight

she's going on a world tour

giddy up giddy up giddy up up

[hard cosmos]

OH that's why everytime i was going down to zero it was adding more after i placed them

my magnum opus

[violet dew]

again with this same guy

[novel marsh]

the whole face was butchered, i fixed it tho, but yeah, the same guy

[violet dew]

yeah I only now saw it, thanks, I was scrambling to put up the overlay to get to fixing it

I just hope the griefing doesn't go so far as to almost completely delete any of these, I just know he's gonna keep up doing it when I go to bed

[swift rock]

Everything seems fixed for now, so I added to Long Glimmer. Good luck on getting her to Australia, that's a looooooot of pixels to place.

[hollow axle]

im adding colour to any buggos i find

or battos

[hollow axle]

from her current tail end shes in a straight line to basicly the middle of AU

[violet dew]

fortunately it's fixed now yeah, I'm lucky there's people keeping watch and helping out when I'm not around because otherwise I'm sure they would've griefed all of my sunsets by now and I wouldn't have any chance of fixing it in time, I probably would just call it quits and give up at that point hopefully it doesn't get to that point but I don't know, these people are so unpredictable I don't even know why they're doing this

that specific user seems to be only targeting me too as far as I can tell no other artworks around are getting griefed, just mine

I wonder what the hell his deal is

I just put down the last couple of pixels for the night now I guess I'll leave these in the hands of whoever's keeping watch
I'll come check when I wake up and... assess the inevitable damage that will be there

[swift rock]

There's a few others in ManePixls who are watching over your stuff too, so it's not just people here. You have friends everywhere. :)

[swift rock]

Soooo turns out I made a mistake

I had seen a flag that was getting wiped out by a grief and thought I'd fix the grief. Unbeknownst to me, that was the 1857 version of the South African flag, which is a symbol used by a racist movement. Thus, I accidentally aided racists.

Now I can't undo my error, because I've left for work. As such, could someone here spare some pixels and write a quick message under the flag that's being erased now, saying "GT says sorry, he didn't know the flag was bad"? The person erasing it doesn't have a Discord username so I can't contact them myself.

Here's the spot: https://wplace.live/?lat=-25.22235505450855&lng=28.324599278027314&zoom=12.354187304678103

Or better yet, someone with the Manechat alliance name can help out by erasing it entirely?

Wait, never mind, jazspid helped with the message, sorta

[silk shore]

Will erase it

[novel marsh]

I erased some of it

[swift rock]

Thanks

Currently panicking a little about it so some people helping to erase it under the Manechat name should help alleviate some of their concerns, if they had any.

There's another one in the middle of Pretoria, right next to the main Equestrian area: https://wplace.live/?lat=-25.777969943665635&lng=28.179579746777318&zoom=11.262304048492032

Oh, also DAO, you used white pixels, not transparent ones.

On the flag

[novel marsh]

Yeah I noticed too late

[swift rock]

Ah well, still helping

[sullen void]

I'm suuuuper careful with flags myself as I often have trouble recognizing some due to colorblindness

I've been fearful of supporting something I don't want to support

[swift rock]

Yup, which is something I just learned. Luckily the only other flag I've been fixing is a Palestinian flag which is most definitely acceptable.

[abstract dew]

pretty good progress i'd say, but it's time for bed

[hollow axle]

Is there the source image and the overlay location for this?

[silk shore]

#1405091622152175616 message link to the overlay info

[hollow axle]

ahhh missed that

hmm it doesnt import as its a discord link. but easy fixed locally

[median moss]

hey youre cool you didn't know

[swift rock]

Hey, someone is griefing Sunset again to give her nipples. Can someone take care of it?

It's that same V8X bugger

[novel marsh]

same guy just griefed Sunset's face
I fixed it, but goddamn

[gentle ore]

That V8X twat finally spelled out the reasoning for griefing. Apparently that sunset is considered by him to be “gooner art”. Sure, buddy. Because there totally isn’t far more suggestive art just to the northeast.

[novel marsh]

bruh

is that why? like you said, the fucking stallion right next to her is much more lewd, and apparently has no issue with the other human sunset

[gentle ore]

Wonder if V8X has a double standard.

[median moss]

i assumr theyre just continually salty about the aria thing

[swift rock]

Nah, V8X isn't part of the Aria group

Completely different guy

He's more like the Plain Pencil guy: a childish and idiotic troll.

[median moss]

ahh well

i changed the text

[novel marsh]

uh, theres another nude aria above our maid Aria

[gentle ore]

Want me to blank it? I got around 740 charges.

[novel marsh]

if u want to, yeah
its against site rules anyway

[violet dew]

Oh yeah I'll show those darn gooners what for by... turning their non sexualized art into sexualized art, 10/10 logic
if that's really the reason this guy is doing this so hard for all these days he can kindly fuck off, especially when there's literally dozens of more risqué artworks literally around me, he probably has an issue with the artist being a nsfw artist and is making it my problem now, so now I gotta deal with this weirdo for the rest of however long this goes for...

I'd rather anyone here not touching that

If it's against the rules it's gonna be taken care of I don't want to get my aria involved in the same fight they had with the one piece guys and risk getting more stuff griefed, I say just leave it alone

[novel marsh]

@gentle ore leave it alone then

It'll be taken of one way or another

[violet dew]

I don't know if you have to report it or if the site automatically detects it but you seem to get suspended pretty quickly if you even put a single pixel nearby where a nsfw art is, so anyone actively making any nsfw is just gonna get suspended anyways so don't really worry about it honestly

[gentle ore]

Read that too late. I already deleted much of the body.

[violet dew]

Well, in that case just leave them be, I don't want to stir up any more trouble, or mess up someone else's efforts, even if they do go against the rules

I put a little sign above the one sunset that keeps getting griefed, it may be screaming at the wall but at least it's something

[swift rock]

sighs

Here we go again. They're not gonna be happy, and they're probably gonna seek revenge.

Yuuup, it's the same guys

And Sunset's been griefed again. He drew a dick.

[gentle ore]

I’m hoping they only seek vengeance against me. Because if they do, then they’re going to go on a wild goose hunt searching for my art since it is far away from South Africa.

[swift rock]

You can't really search for anyone on the canvas, afaik

[median moss]

undone

[swift rock]

Nice

[violet dew]

well thank you I went to wash the dishes so I was unaware that this even happened

Was it the same guy drawing the Aria though?

It wouldn't make much sense for him to go after me since I wasn't the one that deleted his artwork

[swift rock]

No, it's still the same V8X guy

The Aria group keeps to themselves waaay up north. I doubt they even know about the Sunsets.

[novel marsh]

I'm beginning to think the report button is purely aesthetic

[violet dew]

Okay, well in that case that's ''good'', it means I just have to deal with this same guy forever instead of the other guys too

[violet dew]

I have reported this guy like 4 times for the past few days and it doesn't seem to have done anything

He deleted my ''stop griefing'' sign I had put up over Sunset just now lol

I don't know if I have enough pixels to put it back

yep, not enough

I was gonna finish up the Aria, really the only thing left to do with that one is just filling up the colors on the remaining empty areas and it's done, but I'm gonna save up my charges because I know this guy is gonna try to mess with me again soon, he already tried to mess up her face again a little bit just now after deleting the stop griefing sign I had put up

[swift rock]

My shift will be done in a couple hours, once I'm home I can help finish Aria, as well as help defend against this guy.

[violet dew]

For Aria I'm pretty sure all the outline stuff is done, I can double check though, the only things left to do are filling up the white, black and purple parts from the costume and the hair and that's pretty much it

I went back to put the sunset overlay up as I keep watch for this weirdo over here but I'll go double check

Everything looks in order, yeah, all outlines on Aria are finished, it's just filling up the colors now

the ''stop griefing'' sign I had put over the Sunset seems to have upset that guy if he went out of his way to delete it

I'm saving up as much as I can to put it back up

At least let other people know I'm getting attacked

[swift rock]

Hey, at least he wastes his pixels getting rid of the sign instead of griefing.

It's like a sacrificial anode

[violet dew]

I guess so, I just hope he got the message and hopefully it won't happen again, but I'm sure he'll be back at some point

[swift rock]

Oh he'll be back, but we'll be ready.

[novel marsh]

I put the NO GRIEFING back up

[violet dew]

thank you, I was saving up the pixels to put it back up but I didn't have enough yet

[violet dew]

seems like the pinkies climbing up maud have been defeated

I was gonna show it but I didn't know if I could, it's not really showing anything but it can look a bit weird at first

[swift rock]

Yeah, it was that idiot Plain Pencil and his army of 50 alts. He systematically eliminated every Pixel Ponk just because he could, and now he's moved on to all the transgender flags and hearts people place around a memorial to a transgender girl who died.

He also keeps trying to grief about half of the Equestria area in general, but his griefs are so dumb and easy to fix that they barely register half of the time. It's just that he's absolutely everywhere and there's only so many people who can fix things.

[violet dew]

Oh I thought it was a more innocent thing like maybe the climbing pinkies had lost the war against the defending pinkies or something

that sucks

[swift rock]

No, he declared war on them and dropped nuke after nuke after nuke after nuke.

Eventually people just gave up and let him do it because it wasn't worth trying to rebuild it.

He also nuked the rainbow flag under the Lyrabon picture

And tried to give Maud genitals several times.

He's a child

[novel marsh]

Idk if its bc the equestria region was discovered by the broader community or something

[violet dew]

I don't think it's that I think now that everyone has more pixels to spare and now that more people have joined in they're more emboldened to do this kinda stuff

[novel marsh]

I could get that south Africa flag thing
Since it is supposed to make pixel placing more efficient if ur placing the corresponding nation

I have enough, I haven't been buying new slots bc I have +1,000 charges

[violet dew]

I would take forever to get that since it's like 20k points... I've just been getting the max charges so far, better for the long run

the griefing guy seems to have gone away for now.... either that or he actually got suspended

[abstract dew]

this is a fun project

[violet dew]

:opalinespin:

[novel marsh]

i have like 34,000 monies, so im good

[swift rock]

Welp, looks like the racist flag guys are back. They're making a HUGE flag in the center of Pretoria, and they've rebuilt their smaller one just a little ways south of there.

I've knocked out a solid chunk of the smaller one, but it'll get repaired quickly, I'm sure of it.

These guys are relentless

[median moss]

yeah south africa has like

a massive racism problem irl iirc

[swift rock]

Yeah, and this flag is apparently their symbol

[violet dew]

I did a quick search and I legitimately can't find much about this flag's supposed meaning

what's exactly the meaning?

either way if it's that big then I don't know how much could be done about it... probably a ton of people doing it, it's gonna be tough to try and delete it

[swift rock]

It's used by racist groups against black people, since South Africa used to be a colony. And then there's this one, which is a straight-up white supremacist flag:

[novel marsh]

flag utilized by South Africa during its Apartheid phase
Apartheid South Africa was very racist to say the least

[violet dew]

Oh it's those types of people, yeah that's gonna be tough to try and delete... those people can be very.... persistent
hopefully more people around will notice and try to stop it though

what a coincidence they put those around the other flags in the area

[swift rock]

Yup. Plus the message.

Right now I'm dealing with two smaller flags of those types off to the side. Once they're gone I'll help with getting rid of the "resist" grouping.

[silk shore]

I would reccomend getting it. 1000 charges would have an extra 111 charges when placed

[swift rock]

I'm gonna grind for that, yeah

[hollow axle]

overnight saved pixels all placed on opaline.

[abstract dew]

i see that, wow!

[hollow axle]

drawback of these massivly dithered images is damn you have to change colour selection a lot

[abstract dew]

the "symbol" mode of the minidots helps a ton

[hollow axle]

yeah i always use symbol mode makes it soo much easiser

[violet dew]

I annihilated my fingers using the I key to colorpick and clicking on some of these more detailed pixel arts

Dithering makes it look much better from afar but holy hell it's so much more work

[abstract dew]

it's going fast enough, since i'm not spending effort fixing flags or undoing griefing

[violet dew]

it's gonna be even faster once you get more and more pixels, I got 1k+ charges already

[abstract dew]

i spent a ton on more colors and a flag, but all my extra goes to max charges

[violet dew]

Oh I thought you had just started now for some reason

fortunately for me the griefer seems to have gone away for now...

hope he doesn't come back

[abstract dew]

i did a ton of work on the first sunset...

[swift rock]

I just made it to 620, but now I'm saving up for a flag because then I can save on charges. It'll take a while, but once I get the South African flag, I can start making a lot of progress, and I can also start grinding to 1000+ charges.

[violet dew]

Oh yeah, I thought that was dao all this time

whoops

[swift rock]

DAO's been here for a while too though?

[abstract dew]

i did take a week off while i was at everfree northwest/mountains

[violet dew]

No no I mean I thought it was only dao helping me out all along but rom did help with my first sunset too

I just forgot

and you helped with the background too

[swift rock]

Bah, that guy with the white supremacist flags just planted down a new one right next to all the LGBTQ+ flags.

[violet dew]

you got one of them down though

the one to the left at the top

[swift rock]

Yeah, that was me

I'm almost done with it. I would've been done had he not hastily repaired it, but it seems he moved on to the one next to the other flags instead.

Just waiting on my charges now

Gonna get rid of the sign next.

[novel marsh]

i joined the manechat alliance at early august, but Ive been on wplace in general for a little bit before that

[swift rock]

Nice one DAO :)

[novel marsh]

I see, the flag bonus does just what I thought itll do

[novel marsh]

[violet dew]

well that's one down

or, two down

I've also not been griefed again so far by that one guy so I've been finishing up my Aria up there, so far so good

[swift rock]

The supremacist migrated south: https://wplace.live/?lat=-25.748682946410952&lng=28.16006802802733&zoom=13.89459682280233

And there's a really long one down there too

[violet dew]

[hollow axle]

Cute

[abstract dew]

lol

[violet dew]

well it was too good to be true

and I had just wasted my pixels for the night to finish up some colors on Aria

[sullen void]

[hollow axle]

lol raritwi central

[violet dew]

well I give up for tonight, if by the time I'm back from bed this sunset is gone then that's what it's gonna be, really the thing that pisses me off more isn't the attack but the absolute nonsensical reason for it, calling it gooner art when I'm literally surrounded by other far worse artworks and mine is the problem? It just doesn't make any sense at all, that's what actually bothers me so much lol
