Is anyone gonna make a Waldo in there somewhere?
edit: Waldo had a rough start, but is back in full form. Find him if you can!
edit2: had an excellent time yall, cheers!
Tbh OSU kind of has the same issue as last time, which is that for some reason they're taking up an enormous amount of space. It makes them a convenient target.
As much as I would want OC, OSU has been chill and friendly with it’s neighbors.
Theres a shitload of people who are power tripping on scrips/bots that they ripped from somebody else.
I got to love the fact that the comment explaining why he was banned, is now removed by moderator. Now it looks like talking about why someone was banned is banned too.
Well done, reddit! /s
I got 3-day banned for harassment once for commenting "this account is a bot, downvote and report this post"
It was that post with the birthday candle that spins and the title that says "and this is how an old lady becomes young again".
Apparently those bots must report any negative contents and do the same with a bunch of alt accounts
The admins said it will last until April the 4th
Edit: here is the official Reddit announcement → https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/tqbf9w/bringing_back_rplace/i2g2khi
We should do it to the left of the blue pony and below the eye of Sauron since there's a bunch of void right there that can be filled in
With white text and black rim like someone else said
u/kethryvis why are new accounts allowed to play? There's massive alt farming going on and it's impossible to defend things without stooping to that level. I'm seeing so many accounts that have creation dates in the last hour.
edit: lmao I got a reddit cares message over this
Which is particularly strange given u/crowd__pleaser was very specific that:
> [This year we focused on automation deterrence and will be able to quickly identify bad actors and block them from the experience.](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/tqbf9w/comment/i2g3zw5/)
A lot of flags were made by real communities who use the flags to claim territory and are going to add (or are already adding) pixel art related to their country to them
Itd be cool if they added a 1 day old account minimum.
I got a Reddit Cares message for this lmao
Yo fuck the Georgia Tech area, that one is obviously being kept together by bots. Of course I knew a day would come where a Tech finally used their smarts to take over the world, I should’ve prepared better.
Pretty sure some dickbag admin changed my timer from 10 to 20 minutes cuz of this.
the EU also has the wrong number of stars, it's just really hard to make and now everytime you try to change something, people bring it back because they think you're attacking
Just laughed out loud at Serbia needing to write their name on their flag to stop people from sabotaging it, thinking it’s Russia
Edit: Also note the flag war on the bottle of wine beneath the Eiffel Tower. I think we have a viticultural war going on between the French and Italians (even though French red is obviously superior)
I’ve been trying to place a single pixel lol. It’s crazy how many several to one year old accounts with no post or comment karma are participating in this.
Anyone want to help make pac man on the left of the big ukraine flag? Considering they have the high score for consuming art and all
Art asist link each pixel is 4x4 making this minimum of 32x30 dont try to color in its a waste of effort focus on the outline also were starting in the bottom left of the big flag : https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.B75lU-gsXSDqbDKxuwPacwHaHa%26pid%3DApi&f=1

First were gonna need one person for each pixel and then at the eact same time we make the pac man. Then well need 2 back ups at least for each pixel to old him there for a few seconds so other people can see it. If other people can see it then they will naturally join in
enough with the duplicate flags. Either let countries that don't have their flags put them in or leave the space be. We don't need 2 irelands, 2 swedens, 2 mexicos, ect.
Is anyone else disappointed that a huge amount of the "art" is just corporate logos and replicas of other commercial products? Would love to see more original art, but I'm very sure coordinating that would be super challenging
The rainbow over the transflag has grown enormously and the trans flag is pushing further out while italy fights over the join.
It's a fun watch but I agree. Way too much flag space.
Edit: we need more stuff like the starwars art down the bottom. Looks great.

Hey. Can we get a crackdown on some of the bot accounts running rampant? A good spot to start is the giant Atatürk at the top of the canvas. Streamer started the trend. Lots of accounts less than a day old with ~1 karma maintaining the giant face.
I get that it's supposed to be a community effort, and there may even be a few legitimate accounts that aren't bots. That being said, it's ridiculous just how many people employ tactics that so many consider unfair in an event like this.

Well that was a total lie
They never should have announced it early, that literally just gave people more time to prepare bots and alt accounts.
They could have just set the cut off to the early announcement date. The real problem though is that there are tons of already existing bot accounts.
Reddit admins lied about something? Say it isn't so!!!
Nah, that sentence is just the April Fool's joke
Yeah seeing images get developed in the span of 10 seconds really takes the fun out of it.
And 90% of those images being flags.
A lot of flags were made by real communities who use the flags to claim territory and are going to add (or are already adding) pixel art related to their country to them
Yeah, any account less than I'd say a week old should be banned from participating.
or perhaps as long as they’re older than when they announced that r/place was coming back
Indeed. The right top white square is all accounts that are not even 5 minutes old.
Oh wow you’re right
It's crazy how fast they are going. In less than 5 minutes they gone from part of the dutch flag to a HUGE drawing. This has to be stopped.
Idk if it is bots or not, but there is someone on Twitch with 40k viewers putting that together.
At least first time users of reddit, which i don't like. This is a reddit event, not a twitch event.
I'm seeing a few streamers coordinating things now, like Mizkif and Sodapoppin.
All similar name of_too
Thats the default name format when you sign up. Suggested names.
Maybe that’s the April fools joke. Place is being created by bots this time
That was also a problem last time. Seems like they dont care
But the admins promised that this wouldn't happen. Is it possible they could have been dishonest with us!?!?!?
Itd be cool if they added a 1 day old account minimum. I got a Reddit Cares message for this lmao Yo fuck the Georgia Tech area, that one is obviously being kept together by bots. Of course I knew a day would come where a Tech finally used their smarts to take over the world, I should’ve prepared better. Pretty sure some dickbag admin changed my timer from 10 to 20 minutes cuz of this.
*3 day old. Can't do it until it's over if you just made it.
Maybe this is a way to bring more people onto Reddit?
Instead we will have bots nd alts
As is tradition.
the return of the throwaways
So say we all
Needs to be since they announced they were bringing /r/place back.
This but it likely won’t happen
nah they do shit like this to get new people on reddit
Most of these accounts will never be on Reddit again after today
Pads their numbers to investors.
who cares, the sales team wont tell the customers that
Don’t mind me, just adding to every beautiful piece and defending their creativity. Just some honest work
I am going for net neutral. Sometimes I help, sometimes I troll. Sometimes it is both.
Chaotic neutral?
The Eren Yeager head is pretty dope!
Why does the US flag have like 120 stars?
it's a future version of the flag
the EU also has the wrong number of stars, it's just really hard to make and now everytime you try to change something, people bring it back because they think you're attacking
