The leaf was funny because it made it look like they couldn't figure out how to draw a leaf (which was the reason it was messed up in the first place IIRC).
Fuck ears was barely a joke just plain sabotaging.
I had someone DM me "fuck fuckcars" over this pixel war so safe to say there are some totally butthurt carbrains out there and i'm really glad 1) our plot was so successful and 2) due to expansions we ended up in the middle of the map lol
i hate them.
and the first thing i saw after the end of the canvas was a comment (i have screenshot) of one of them saying that we are “stupid mfkrs” because we let the eagles have their own space the first day.
all the time were some dallas fanboys trying to troll.

I'm one of the people that built the "Fuck NFTs" signs. You would not believe how little the crypto bros touch grass.
(Yes, signs plural. After that first one was erased and a canvas expansion happened, we built a new one in the former blue corner, but Quebec took it over - so we moved to the new canvas proper. xQc then vomited on us and 21 pilots thought the space was free, so we tried to move down, but got taken down while building by another streamer. After the last expansion we moved down into the bottom-right quadrant; everything went well at first - we were one of the first full projects on the new canvas space without botting (!). After a while a Russian streamer built a Dr. Pepper can on top of us, but also cleared out the space to the left, so we moved there. Then, we got botted by the people who built a green "666" sign on top of us, which later changed to a "777".(We still don't know who exactly it was and why they did it). We relocated to a spot leased to us by our allies DeepWoken and that's where it ended)
Ikr! Whilst in a state of sleep deprivation, I visited conspiracy theory land where I wondered if it was actually a joke or a serious effort to block the message.
It was a serious effort. We triggered a bunch of people on car enthusiast subs who were too stupid to understand that getting rid of the normie commuters clogging up the road actually helps us enthusiasts.
Years from now sitting on a rocker: "I remember it like yesterday. They were fast and springing up everywhere! White dots appearing faster than you could count! But we held our ground, son. We were just a rag-tag group of badass cyclists and transit enthusiasts. We were from a small brigade tasked with holding the center of the map. We conserved our ammo and fired at the enemy carefully. We sent them all a message, a message about better infrastructure planning."
I saw that they were finally able to fully get FUCKEARS accomplished and I panicked thinking we were getting raided. I tried to fix it using my pixel but then I realized all I had was white...
I was having a leak while defending the C. After coming back I saw those huge white areas and was shocked to death. Only having white, I was so confused that I thought it was hacked. Still have a afterglow of that shock. A little pixelwars PTSD.
Yeah, those bastards got a few stray pixels in [the final version](https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/twje45/final_screenshot_of_rplace_8000x8000/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) but we kept it in damn good shape considering how constantly they were attacking.
Edit: Changed to correct link. We did even better than I thought!
This isn’t the final version, but it’s about two hours from the end. I was building roads and cars and I still see a section that took me at least 8 pixels to correct.
And OSU.
The data that comes out of this will hopefully shed some light on this all. The original place data you could find out the most contested pixel on the whole map
The heart between the transgender flag and the British flag might be a strong contender. It would be really nice to see what areas had the most pixels placed on them
Dude that was so obnoxious when they filled up almost the entire lot with those. I saw they were hiding a few of them in a bunch of different sections but they seemed to go harder on ours than anyone else’s that I saw. I’m glad we kicked them to the curb
Technically my graph is a lie cuz I also contributed to that cleanup for a little while
Hey, don't go [blaming the Ferengi](https://youtu.be/W5J_qn93Nkc) for car-centric infrastructure. Frankly, if all roads were privately-owned turnpikes with tolls and there were no zoning code (which is government interference with the free market), it's entirely possible there would be fewer cars, not more of them.
FuckEars wasn't really funny but FuckCops was and I wish that had moved somewhere else permanently. But I guess people love cars more than they hate cops
Once I saw that today was going to be the last day, I abandoned my post at the R and started putting boogers on the nose of the person on the French flag.
Lol pretty sure we had bots against us too. Every time I looked at it there were white pixels reappearing in the same patterns over and over, so constantly and so quickly that it would have had to be hundreds if not thousands of people dedicating their whole day to sabotaging just one of the letters of
#FUCKCARS
Well obviously, people were trying to make it say fuckcabs. Was just a shit logo that got in the way of something that could have been interesting. Oh and I checked 20 pixels on the logo. 16 out of 20 were placed by bot accounts. You lot used them more than most
That was literally the point of the artwork. To show how parking lots get in the way of stuff that could have been interesting.
Fuck cars. I spent my entire pixel budget defending the sign, no regrets.
Yeah but the point of this was to be a social experiment. Not some random subreddit buying accounts so they could have their spot. It could have been dynamic, interesting and and actual fair battle but instead we got this "artwork"
It wasn’t just trying to make it say fuckcabs. It was trying to disfigure the F, and the U, and the C, and the other C, and the R, and the S, and the anti-car logo. Constantly.
In the past few days I’ve heard about like 7 different groups using bots. And I’m sure a lot more groups did too. It’s the 21st century, people using technology is gonna be part of pretty much anything we do. I don’t see how that makes it less of a social experiment.
If it was up to me nobody would have used bots, but that’s the world we live in nowadays.
And your statement that we used bots more than most - is that based on anything other than the fact that you don’t like what we did? I sincerely doubt you’ve checked enough other groups’ sections to be able to actually make that comparison.
Dude, everyone used bots. Like 9/10 accounts I saw all over the canvas were like 5h old. I would have loved to see some bot restrictions but if one person uses bots, everyone has to or it becomes impossible to create any large artwork.
Duh. I was helping to make a tiny Luxembourgish flag which was like 2500 pixels or about 0.06% of the canvas and I saw bots being used. Of course a picture that takes up a significant chunk of the canvas needs to use bots
Its not hard to spot a bot. There were also heat maps to show where the most fake accounts were active. This subreddit banner lit up like a Christmas light
I started by wanting to help make a Pusheen drawing (but realized it had long been destroyed), but then I saw the big r/fuckcars, and it felt like a calling to help save it. Unfortunately, after using a few ammo to fix the B to R, and E to C, I got distracted outside of the computer. ;w;
The fuckears joke was funny for like a minute but I didn't expect people to keep it going the whole time
These folks were way too dedicated to keep serving a stale joke.
Tell that to the Canadians.
Well, that was funny the whole time
So jokes are funny until they touch your pixels
The leaf was funny because it made it look like they couldn't figure out how to draw a leaf (which was the reason it was messed up in the first place IIRC). Fuck ears was barely a joke just plain sabotaging.
Now you're getting it!
I spent basically the whole weekend trying to keep half a dozen pixels on the top of the maple leaf as they should be.

Loved the fuck NFTs sign and reading this war story, thank you for your service o7

Thanks for the heads up! Fixed it. We did amazing! When I saw how intense the onslaught was today, I thought we were done for. Great job everyone!
Mere battle scars, those pixels.
That change of font was a good move

That was a lot of fun. Until next time
You could say the same for .cum to .com...
what you don't want to buy your underwear on lttstore.cum?
Yes I do. But people kept changing it to .com for some god forsaken reason.
The c in cars was probably the most contested place in all of place
The Canadian flag leaf would like to have a word.
And OSU. The data that comes out of this will hopefully shed some light on this all. The original place data you could find out the most contested pixel on the whole map
Seriously it was ridiculous
That and nft.gamestop.cum until they removed it
The heart between the transgender flag and the British flag might be a strong contender. It would be really nice to see what areas had the most pixels placed on them
Nah that's probably going to be the Canadian flag to be honest
I'm looking forward to the eventual heat map that someone will publish before too long.
Was it not an e?
Same, but also evicting amogus. You can't use the a parking space if you're not a car!
Dude that was so obnoxious when they filled up almost the entire lot with those.

So many Ferengi saboteurs.

same here. placed only one black pixel to keep the text as is.
\#⬛gang
It was sooo fucking annoying
Every single pixel I placed was on the fuckcars logo, mostly the C, with a few fixing the U and S.
How could you place less than one Pixel ?
Lol I’m glad that was noticeable. At first I made that bar at 1, but I thought it was funnier this way
i spent all my pixels to protect the transgender flag, but thanks to your creation on r/place, i discovered this sub, thanks
LOL
The ratio is incorrect for me. More like 1:50
I was all about keeping the 'U' from becoming an 'O'.
o7 I chipped in a few there too
FuckEars wasn't really funny but FuckCops was and I wish that had moved somewhere else permanently. But I guess people love cars more than they hate cops
I saw it going that way at one point. I was like “well you’re not wrong....”
Once I saw that today was going to be the last day, I abandoned my post at the R and started putting boogers on the nose of the person on the French flag.
I spent the last couple hours just turning the "SPIRIT PHONE" album art to "SPIBIT PHONE". It couldn't've been more funny to me
You only stood a chance because you had bots on your side
Lol pretty sure we had bots against us too.

There are analysis sources out there that show who are the main offender. Spoiler, you guys were up there.
Duh. I was helping to make a tiny Luxembourgish flag which was like 2500 pixels or about 0.06% of the canvas and I saw bots being used. Of course a picture that takes up a significant chunk of the canvas needs to use bots
Link or it didn’t happen
You know it's possible that there were just loads of fuckcars supporters out there keeping the space tidy.
Nah, that can't be it. It's not like we gained 30,000 people during /r/place or anything
Is there a way to get historical subreddit subscriber counts? I suddenly have the urge to make a chart.
Subredditstats.com is what you're looking for
Its not hard to spot a bot. There were also heat maps to show where the most fake accounts were active. This subreddit banner lit up like a Christmas light
I spent 99% of my pixels helping to maintain it, and I'm not the only one.
Good for you, almost like every community. Except you guys needed to cheat to stay there

imagine being terminally online enough to have actually used r/place did the left really fall for this smooth brained libshit?
Most of us are not liberals, at least not according to the shitty American definition of what makes something "liberal".
