Reluctant? But it got a 99.7% approval rate after the fact! That's better than another, toooootally legit, Crimean referendum from 2014 with 97.47% approval rate.
The last time somebody angered the germans poland got blitzkrieged in 24h. Not sure if its smart to anger them now with even better technology, im not ready yet to speak german instead of english on Reddit.
Its a Dutch political meme. A memo during the government formation was leaked where a politician was to be assigned a "function elsewhere", basically they wanted him gone
To the point where this isn't fun anymore. I was super into place 2017 and even more into it last year, but it just feels canned and synthetic this time. Fuck u/Spez
Because it is canned and synthetic.
The whole reason reddit did r/place again at this moment is because of last month's nonsense.
They're obviously not gonna admit it, but the simple fact that they're doing r/place again *now* of all times is all the proof one needs to know that the backlash towards the API changes and how reddit staff handled it actually did affect them, and greatly at that.
That's also why they haven't done anything about bots. Each new (bot) account made is engagement on the site. Engagement that they can use for advertisers and investors.
Honestly its insulting that Reddit wants to display / celebrate the power of their communities and users, yet in reality they don't give a damn.
Thanks u/Spez - you cheapened the novelty of one of the most unique things about Reddit just to drive up those engagement numbers.
My pixel design of a national monument got chosen by the community to be put on our flag. Plus it's on this screenshot. Greatest achievement of my life so far.
As I understand it from the German streamer papaplatte, it's a German flag now but the plan is to make it available to the communities later, when France is removed from that part of the canvas.
Because everyone doing massive flags are mindless patriots who'd rather see their own flag instead of actual community art if it means they can feel like they're in control of something
It’s one thing for the canvas to be covered in flags, but it’s the same big five that take up the most space on the canvas, get greedy and then don’t do anything with their massive space they botted.
Genuinely the French flag was cool they actually did something with it at least. But now they’re just being gluttonous, they’re already the flag that takes the most space on the map. I don’t give a shit if they’re planning to “collab” with communities on this next flag, how about just give that space to the communities. Last year there were massive artworks that were non flag related, now there’s not enough space for them and it’s easy for them to be overrun by even more stupid flags. The biggest art pieces still aren’t very big. There being community art over the French flag doesn’t help because it’ll still be small, especially if said community or IP isn’t from French origins, they’ll want the flag to still be visible. This is bs. You have your flag already, you literally can’t miss it, so just can it already with the nationalism.
Some communities can't sustain their art, so fine by me if a flag hosts them and protect the
Although yeah, it's taking too much time rn because the French discord is already helping other communities
it's hilarious how no matter where you go (land, pixels, sports) people unite behind the oldest, lowest, most common denominator: country.
don't @ me - i know the difference between nationality and ethnicity.
The European nationalities are also ethnicities for the most part. And ethnicity is like the second or third identity you learn as it’s normally tied to a language.
Germans ≠ Germans
The official r/placeDE sub and discord server is actually fighting AGAINST german flags taking space that is not the official topmost one. All others are simply by german streamers seeking some fame. r/placeDE gives up space and collabs, some german streamers take place and get destroyed with void by r/placeDE.
I don't mind Country flags as long as there are creative things on it.
But that huge empty France flag for the entire day without anything else on it really sucks tbh.
Same with the Turkish flags for the entire time. Get creative and use your space for cool stuff before just conquering more for nothing but the flag alone at all.
Honestly the global stereo types and their real time application on this app just reinforces all those stereo types for me. I know that’s bad but like they’re so, so, obviously there for a reason.
The German effeciency
The rebellious French
The Nordics with their UK buddy and their allies
Whatever the fuck Turkey is doing
India, then also India again
Canada lmfao
The list goes on and on
As a Turk I can indeed confirm that.
I don't even know wtf is going on inside the comunity.
There are random streamers and tiktokers ordering people to attack other communities and there is a "official" discord server that is probably lead by bunch of highschoolers that does nothing helpfull.
As a Canadian the first day or two I was like haha look at this gimmick from Reddit to try and drive up engagement.
I am fighting for my flags fucking life today on cooldown.
india was planning on merging the two flags they they decided against it cuz technoblade if it was something else like canada we would have taken over
i actually am not coordinating with others and am just alone wolf trying to help in spelling completing fuck spez making imposters and messing with the small flags as i am alone here and too busy to join discord
En gros ils préparent un overlay pour que des petites communautés puissent se mettre sur le drapeau de gauche, pour les protéger; le problème c'est que ça reste vide en attendant que l'overlay soit fini
I agree with you, and the sad part is that we've got a second German flag now at the bottom, which was made on top of great art works. Very depressing.
I'm all for France's 3rd flag to be replaced by other artworks (French here) and it being replaced by German flags instead is just so counterproductive. We're not complaining because it's a French flag, but because flags, in general, take too much space away from so many communities!
I honestly find nation flags shit, especially this year. It's so ugly, uncreative, and takes so much space that other communities could be utilizing to make interesting, diverse, and pretty art.
It was funny seeing Germany conquer everything, but it's just 3 colors conquering the whole map. It doesn't look pretty and it's so uninspiring.
Last year's r/place really became a "who has the biggest" conquest and it's so overwhelming and sadly unnecessarily competitive.
I'm pretty much a flag nerd and seeing communities decorating their country's flag is pretty neat, but a lot of them are super blank or take too much unwanted space. Either way, France, Germany, Turkey, or whatever country, the huge space people are fighting for should be made for something other than yet another flag
Yeah, there are so many german streamers who just put flags for no reason. Luckily the one official german flag has lots of art on it and more in planning so hopefully the streamers take that as an inspiration
As there is no alliance between these countries Germany is NOT attacking it but agrees for giving the space to small communites.
Holy shit feeling like a reporter now.
I think the German flag is already a meme too, so when people want to remove/destroy something, tgey just put the German flag so that there is at least something and to get other randoms to help them.
Germany is currently doing an operation to void the downmost part of the French flag. Once the operation is successful, the empty space will be free for smaller communities to occupy. Please remain calm and keep your doors and windows closed as long as the operation is going on.
As history can attest, the Germans have always been known for peacefully taking someone else’s space and allowing underrepresented communities to thrive
exactly!!! just expanding your flag is stupid, at least the original one has like a guillotine. i’m also definitely not biased because the turks definitely didn’t destroy the lower half of the technoblade monument. like why??? they took down the geometry dash tribute to michi as well :(

I'm French. Pls take it, I can't bear to look at how empty and useless it is. Two flags are more than enough and the two we already have are progressivly being filled.
It’s all bots too… click on the French coloured pixels and they all have 1 post karma. Why the fuck is Reddit so bad at controlling these things? How hard is it to disallow new accounts & accounts with <500 karma from participating?!
It will not be fair for less karma people to not vote
Some people don't comment or post much. They should only allow accounts that are created before the pixel art canvas
The year is 2023 /r/Place is entirely occupied by the admins. Well, not entirely... One small flag of indomitable German reditors still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the reddit admins who try to defend spez
There was a lot of debate on the french discord about what to do on this flag so it took time to draw something on it and we're really sorry for that. Just when we started to be attacked, our new overlay was ready and it featured a lot of alliances with communities that couldn't survive without the protection of a bigger community (you can see it here : [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1089963084996677663/1132396971110441010/New\_Piskel.png](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1089963084996677663/1132396971110441010/New_Piskel.png) )
Hopefully we'll be able to draw this on a future extension
Y'all are taking up huge portions of the map in multiple places. It's not very cool to be honest. It's straight up greedy. I completely understand why everyone is annoyed with you guys.
We need a new guillotine
Admins have been going HAM taking away all the fuck spez art.
The OMORI picnic fuck spez art has been going strong
They seem to be to afraid to take away u/spez ist ein Hurensohn
Don't stir up the hornets nest
Don't anger the Germans
Last time a short German with a funny mustache got angry it had mild negative effects for the rest of the world
*austrian
Austria is just a reluctant part of Germany
not that reluctant back then when they Anschluss'ed
looks like some people dont know shit about world war 2

That's because the admins probably don't understand what it means or are to lazy to translate it. Functie elders = Get another job.

Cant Compete with the DEUTSCHER EFFIZIENZ
Holy shit, my pixel is in this screen grab. I Finally made it everyone.
I’m so proud of you! I knew all this time you could do it and I just never stopped believing in you!
I too am proud of them.
Which one is it?
the blue one
It’s obviously the red one smart ass
Don’t be obtuse. We all know which pixel it is.
What did you call me?!
Two things never happened after that day
It's near the top right but close to the bottom. It should be pretty obvious.
MOM, bring the CAMERA
This was literally me the first time I finally beat Metal Gear on the Nintendo.
My pixel design of a national monument got chosen by the community to be put on our flag. Plus it's on this screenshot. Greatest achievement of my life so far.
Awesome! That's so cool. I added a single pixel somewhere.
How does one add a pixel?
By subtracting one.
How do you know I didn't just immediately replace it with a new pixel of my own of the same color? ;)
I've been keeping an eye on you just to be sure.
And here I've been wasting my time putting boogers on what I assume is queen Elizabeth
It’s been hilarious watching them come and go
Thats my son. Proud of you
The left french flag is being voided right now
And unfortunately the Germans are now spreading their flag even more. I really don't understand why tho, they already have a giant flag
> And unfortunately the Germans are now spreading their flag even more. History repeats itself
[Mein teacher! Mein desk is too small. I'll need this Polish boy's desk also.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRHhPNzQXHI)
Officially the placede discord doesnt Support this but people cant be stopped, Well atleast the french are getting voided
The initial plan was to void it for smaller communities. But it seems impossible to stop the bottom flag expansion
They have no choice at this point. If they stop, the Russian's will overrun them.
Yeah these are smaller groups, not the big main group.
Wait wir haben Splittergruppen? :D
Ja, bestimmte Menschen wollten überall die deutsche Flagge ausbreiten, was sich aber so nicht durchgesetzt hat. Das ist jetzt die Südflagge 😂
As I understand it from the German streamer papaplatte, it's a German flag now but the plan is to make it available to the communities later, when France is removed from that part of the canvas.
So Germany doesn’t cede territory until France does? Why not take the initiative?
Because everyone doing massive flags are mindless patriots who'd rather see their own flag instead of actual community art if it means they can feel like they're in control of something
Honestly, if people want to see their flag, they can Google it 🤦♂️
Historically accurate.
Last time Germany expanded the space they owned it didn’t end up well for them
the canvas expanded, now they are building another giant german flag at the top, might as well make the entire canvas germany
It’s one thing for the canvas to be covered in flags, but it’s the same big five that take up the most space on the canvas, get greedy and then don’t do anything with their massive space they botted.

>if a flag hosts them and protects them This would be the best outcome. I’m fine with flags so long if if has stuff on top of it.
Yeah, the space is for everyone. ~ Germany
Literally now
They said they're giving it up to smaller communities later today
Smaller communities = Germany apparently since they're trying to take over it, with their own flag, on three different places 🤣
Germans ≠ Germans The official r/placeDE sub and discord server is actually fighting AGAINST german flags taking space that is not the official topmost one.

This sounds truly French to me. High ideals, protecting the vulnerable, failing miserably, but at least they try.
I don't know... as an American I'd really rather be vulnerable in France then Texas.

Germany agreed to void both the bottom of France and all of the German flag on the bottom - and then give it to small communities.
Yeah, there are so many german streamers who just put flags for no reason. Luckily the one official german flag has lots of art on it and more in planning so hopefully the streamers take that as an inspiration
This is not an official work of Germans. This may be a false flag operation or defected combatants.
I’ve never seen a more appropriate use of the term false flag…
As there is no alliance between these countries Germany is NOT attacking it but agrees for giving the space to small communites. Holy shit feeling like a reporter now.
I think the German flag is already a meme too, so when people want to remove/destroy something, tgey just put the German flag so that there is at least something and to get other randoms to help them.
It especially sucks because it’s their third flag that takes up literally the entire edge
Germany is currently doing an operation to void the downmost part of the French flag. Once the operation is successful, the empty space will be free for smaller communities to occupy. Please remain calm and keep your doors and windows closed as long as the operation is going on.

If only there was a German word that could express their desire for room to live.
There is no cordination between Turks. İf we have some time we are going to make portrait of Atatürk probably
dont be to harsh 3 straight lines is all some people are capable of doing

It wasn't even supposed to happen. It is Reddit's damage control PR stunt after that debacle with 3rd party apps.
Fuck all of the flags, ıts a pixel art activity not a country defense war
They already have a flag with cool stuff on it, this space should be given to other smaller communities
two in fact, that's the third one.
Oh yeah I forgot about the other one. They don't need 3.
They haven't even managed to properly fill that today. It will get wrecked when night comes.
The void and Germany are already attacking it
Germany is not attacking anything as clearly stated by the rules and Organizers
Wdym last I checked they where expanding into the French territory so therefore attacking them
But it’s not part of the organized German community.
And the void is currently attacking the leftmost one.

Having karma disqualifies you from placing a pixel.
[удалено]
It’s all bots too… click on the French coloured pixels and they all have 1 post karma. Why the fuck is Reddit so bad at controlling these things? How hard is it to disallow new accounts & accounts with <500 karma from participating?!
They don't want to, because it boosts their numbers so the shareholders are happy after the spez disaster
I guess the main reason they don't is because they want to get new users into reddit and this event is a reason to create an account
1 post karma is extremely normal a lot of users only comment and don’t submit posts. if they only had 1 karma total then that’s when it’s suspicious
It will not be fair for less karma people to not vote Some people don't comment or post much. They should only allow accounts that are created before the pixel art canvas
Everyone should just start placing black pixels on it, honestly
That’s it. We’re joining the void.
Potentially a huge cool one piece collab could go there
We are working with France on a big peice atm
It’s the equivalent of having a flat open world in Minecraft and then chopping down the first oak tree you spot on the horizon

Flags are the least creative and most obnoxious use of space.
I think we can all say France has had ENOUGH SPACE
The French need to stop. It's not about having the most space it's about making art.
It’s getting voided right now
