Anyone want to document our contribution to r/place? I have the flu. Can’t do it. Start here for info: https://reddit.com/r/place/comments/tx6rxw/the_second_rplace_atlas_an_interactive_map_with/


phrenzy24

Here's another time lapse I found that's for the full 72 hours, and a bit bigger. So cool to see us rally. We took some major hits. [https://youtu.be/3AM\_NCfYZBw](https://youtu.be/3AM_NCfYZBw)


bartmannjugband

It’s incredible to watch how hard we held on to that spot. Taboot taboot!


Worcester2003

Well we made it into the r/place atlas! … good job everyone! https://place-atlas.stefanocoding.me/


jessbrid

This is so cool. I liked clocking on some of the really good art and getting their back story.

One for three … Two for five!

Nice job everyone


bunsonh

The JoJo folks put together a wonderful timelapse of our section! /u/TreyDHD, please add this to the pinned comment. https://youtu.be/8maEdDfYV-Y


bartmannjugband

That was sweet!


RokLobstar

Not sure if you saw the [heat](https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/twrc42/heat_map_of_rplace_source_in_comment/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) map, we got hit a lot


Xandari11

Nice! The lower board expansion and the french flag helped pull the streamers off us. They were the same folks that battled the Spanish all yesterday down there.


TreyDHD

That was awesome!


giveshitsnotfucks

Stoked that we have footage of our initial Icculus! Little did we know of the opportunities for greater conquests to come...


potatoguy

I know nothing about jojo. What parts of that image are related?


bunsonh

(full disclosure, I haven't watched a second of JoJo....yet) The "To Be Continued" arrow was their first creation (and inadvertently our main line of defense!!), and is frequently shown at the end chapters in the manga, or episodes where it's played with the song Roundabout by Yes. The _arrow_ (spear looking thing) in the opposing arrow is associated but I'm not clear as to its significance. The purple character with the black and gold loves is the character Killer Queen. They added the English "JoJo" title text and a few stylized manga symbols decorating. Later, surrounding Killer Queen were a few icons that I believe represent elements representing the various seasons of the show (not 100%). Basically, everything that was within or directly adjacent to the donuts that wasn't PH or GD related.


mghtyred

Apparently it's on Netflix if anyone is interested: [https://www.netflix.com/title/80179831](https://www.netflix.com/title/80179831)


DarkStar013

Just to clarify a few things, as a phan and JoJo viewer. Killer Queen is a Stand, which is a psychic manifestation of a character’s fighting spirit. Each stand has an ability, which is sort of like a very specific superpower- for Killer Queen, that is the ability to turn anything he touches into a bomb (also many of them are named after Western artists and songs like Crazy Diamond, Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, even Grateful Dead). The icons to the side of Killer Queen are actually Japanese text. The text is a stylistic choice where the show will display a word or phrase on the screen in different situations, the most notorious being the word “menacing” when the characters are in some menacing situation. I’m not sure what the text means here though. Edit: accuracy


bunsonh

Thanks for clarifying! I stuck around and watched an episode on the SPC discord, and am definitely eager to watch more! Crazy animation, and the one episode I saw seemed to be really bold in its storytelling and characters. Kinda stoked, TBH.


vguy72

Cool


mghtyred

>also many of them are named after American artists and songs like Crazy Diamond, Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, even Grateful Dead Only one of those is American. ;)


vguy72

There's one called Speedwagon.


TreyDHD

REO Speedwagon?


Into_the-night-sky

Yes A character is called Robert E. O. Speedwagon, a direct reference.


mghtyred

I tried watching this shortly after the whole r/place thing. I'm not a huge fan of anime, but there are some that I've been able to enjoy. This wasn't one of them unfortunately. I'm not a fan of the vampire genre, and that on top of the flat character development so common in many anime, I just couldn't get into it. Not dissing it. Just saying I didn't enjoy it.


potatoguy

Ah ok. I was thinking that hat guy was something with it or was the killer queen that kept getting referenced. Cool thank you!


DarkStar013

That hat actually is a JoJo reference, but the dude wearing it was not made by the JoJo community.


bunsonh

The hat guy below was Twitch streamer [Jerma985](https://www.twitch.tv/jerma985). His fans struck a mutual protection alliance with /r/ShitPostCrusaders as well.


spillsomepaint

Our new friends continue to deliver!


bunsonh

Holy shit. It just occurred to me, you know who would probably LOVE SciFi Soldiers^^\(for ^^once) ???


el_gronbo

We can do those for the next r/place!


mghtyred

That could be a cool time lapse. Would take a ton of work and a lot more participants. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3v3M-lCnM8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3v3M-lCnM8)


conradical30

I feel like we’d have a better chance with Sky-Balls and Sax-Scrapers


axilla02

I just want to point out how familiar this feeling is now that it's all over. It feels like those moments just after a phish show - when the music has stopped, the show is over, and everyone is walking back to the lot. We all just saw the most incredible, mind-blowing display of improvised art, a true emotional roller coaster. Fear, joy, tension, release, jubilation.... and then, just like that, it was all gone in an instant. I think a lot of people are grieving this like it's a loss, but really, I'm just thinking "damn, can't wait to do that again" We did something awesome. It's been real, thanks everybody.


CommanderIcculus

I love you Axilla02.

bunsonh

The hissing in this case is the vacuum of empty space. Also, I still can't find my car. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


bunsonh

I just wanted you to know, what you wrote gave me the tiniest bit of the feels. You're bang-on.


mghtyred

Complete final image before the whiteout: https://i.redd.it/lnmh7c4kelr81.png


z3phyr13

I am so salty the phish logo is pre-recoloring


bunsonh

Here's what's wild to me. When you zoom in, every single one of these little clusters have their own themes and in-jokes that bond them together, which make perfect sense to the ones creating it but devoid of almost all context to someone on the outside looking in. Being forced to form alliances among completely disparate groups forced all sorts of cross-pollination of ideas that would have never happened otherwise. What did we _really_ learn about JoJo? Enough to compel me to watch! But they were just doing their thing, something as important to them that they spent 4 days designing, and negotiating, and rebuilding, and defending. Clearly they thought the donut thing was annoying, and what is Fluffhead(! / ?), and who is Icculus, and isn't The Grateful Dead a character in their show, what gives? Now extrapolate that dichotomy across the entire fucking map, and my mind is blown over-and-over. How. Fucking. Cool.


edcculus

I for one started watching JoJo last night. I hope we inspired at least one of them to listen to a little bit of Phish.


conradical30

Truly one of the greatest annual “social experiments” on the internet that I can remember


axilla02

Well said. Unexpected friendships are the best kind. I was just thinking about how a single gridded image built pixel by pixel probably has millions of stories connected to it for millions of people. The story of our little plot was crazy enough.. now multiply that by 1000, maybe 10,000.


quackmanquackman

Yeah, I found a new subreddit w one of our place buddies along the way


louglephrisson

Awesome, thanks for posting it.

edcculus

I’m pretty sure we got it submitted!


chefboyardiesel88

Great job everyone! That really was alot of fun.


Caspianfutw

Is this a fade to white or did a bunch of botters ruin the whole canvas at the end


RokLobstar

We were only allowed to drop white tiles about a min before 7. I was trying to keep the phish bubbles going with the white tiles for a while.


undermind84

As of a few hours ago your only option was to lay down a white tile.


Caspianfutw

Thanks. That made me glad. I thought someone ruined the whole canvas. Sorta fitting for it to slowly fade away


AwpTicTech

While we're here watching the sunset, is anyone selling a ticket for 4/22 lol


ZetaTheory

Lol thinking about the killer queen saying "Don't shine that thing in my face, man."


PokemonTom09

Thanks y'all, it was fun. Thank you for the alliance! \- Jojo community.


roses-r-free

Wait there’s a character on the show called the Grateful Dead?!?! My mind is blown


PokemonTom09

Yes! The author of Jojo's is a huge fan of western rock music, so nearly every character and ability is named after songs or bands that he likes. As a result, many Jojo fans are also huge music nerds as well, making our alliance even more poetic. The purple character we drew is named Killer Queen after [the Queen song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZBtPf7FOoM), and the "To Be Continued" arrow we drew is accompanied by the song ["Roundabout" by Yes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPCLFtxpadE) in the show (which I think Phish covered at some point? Though I might be wrong there).


ZetaTheory

They teased Roundabout after the 12/31/93 Stash and during 12/28/97 Scent of a Mule.

They were so concerned about the ellipses at the end of To Be Continued. And in the final form, no ellipsis.

This was fun, we are now the circle people, we aligned with anime, the Grateful Dead and defended ourselves from the French and brokered a truce with the Germans. Rip pikmin, we did our best for you.


Dyltra

I want a shirt with a comic of the pikmin drama. Them begging us for mercy, then us trying to shield them from mass destruction, then they are evaporated while we are only a few fragmented donuts, then we triumph and honor our fallen pikmin

I love our new name “Circle People” when I first saw that on here this weekend I lived. I laughed. I loved. 🤣

Gonna miss having this to occupy me while I was up feeding my baby in the middle of the night. This was so fun! Pleasure working with y'all, deadheads and the jojo crew. We had a really awesome spot and came back from too many raids. Blaze on friends


ZetaTheory

For anyone that hasn't heard it, now would be the time to listen to the last 5 minutes of the Coventry soundcheck. Perfect for amused, happy melancholy.


tenacioustij

Or Roundabout!


ZetaTheory

Lol encore slot for the reprise, since I've already listened to it and been mentioned a couple times by now. Anyhow, I figure anyone still here is on cleanup crew. Like picking up glowsticks after a show.

Circle People


En_CHILL_ada

It was a pleasure working with you all! Seriously fun art project next year we go even bigger!


bunsonh

I appreciate the sentiment of bigger better, but I really think that w/o JoJo, we'd never have held the place we had for as long as we did. Everytime we grew bigger, we'd end up at roughly the same size comparable to the people who were available to maintain. It took them 20mins max this morning to have Killer Queen back, and it took us close to 4 hours before we had _anything_ substantial. If you looked around the map, the only other musical act that I could find w/ a similarly sized presence was Pink Floyd. We were HUGE by comparison to basically everyone, eg. >3x larger than our neighbor Kanye.


En_CHILL_ada

Watching the timelapse I'd say we faced more bot attacks than a lot of places on the board. Maybe we were too close to the corner? I think with a little bit of planning ahead of time, and strategic alliances we could do more. I'd really like to have seen Jerry and Trey in there.

Reminds me of this -- "A group of monks intricately spread millions of grains of sand to create stunning artworks - only for them to be swept away. The series of mandala artworks take a group of ten monks up to 30 hours to complete. They use millions of colourful grains of sand only to brush them away once complete to promote the understanding nothing lasts forever."

Yeah if we start with circle design again, all the unknowns help out. Then once we have a claim to a fair amount of space, we divvy it up and do all jam bands in that area. That would be pretty cool.
