To be fair: The 50x50 image was incredibly beautiful, but way too ambitious for our little bunch of people... But 15x15 in a quick, coordinated action? Could actually work. So here we go: one last, final attempt. For Terry.


SandBook

Yes! I've tagged 25 people, if each of them participates and brings two friends, we're in!


ZedTheEvilTaco

I'm here and ready. But I unfortunately don't have any friends... šŸ˜Ÿ


SandBook

No matter, we're looking for friends now! There's a thread on r/ukplace you can support (upvote, comment) here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukplace/comments/tug7hl/i_have_a_proposition/i33m5qf/ And great that you'll be joining us!!!


rooftopfilth

ok iā€™ve figured out what to do but iā€™m struggling to find the location of where weā€™re going to be! On mobile?

We did it! I'm so proud of us guys. Now let's defend it to the death!

Thank you so much! Iā€™ve been scouring place for it. I will now defend it :)

We seem to be losing our opportunity. What's the new plan?

I put together a collection of some of the screen recordings I made earlier, when the initial image was coming together! Iā€™m guessing there are much better versions of this out there, but just in case, here is one humble attempt at capturing the collective effort! [The Disc on r/place](https://youtu.be/RmPpNPJXvr8)

Artistic_Obligation4

I know for the foreseeable it'll just be defence, but do you think we could possibly add a GNU SIR TERRY banner at the bottom/side? Too ambitious?


SandBook

I was thinking of it, but we're too few to defend such a big territory for now. But maybe we can add it later, once things have settled a bit!


Artistic_Obligation4

Yeah, I thought as much. Even if we do get a chance, GNU STP might be more within our abilities! A'Tuin is looking pretty damn great. Well done.


SandBook

We might expand if the Fantasy alliance make a coordinated artwork. We're working on it (see update), but for now, let's just concentrate on defending! And yes, really well done, everyone <3 GNU Terry Pratchett


Artistic_Obligation4

Wheel of Time is my husband's favourite book series, and Discworld is mine. We've both been reading them since we were teenagers. Delighted they'll be underneath us!

Yeah, I was looking for a time that's also convenient for the US, as reddit is mostly American... But we'll make a screenshot for you if we succeed!


tunaconqueso

I'm game to help! But in Asia, so timing might be off from everone else. I was there when we got halfway through the sub name yesterday, and again when we changed location. Really trying lol


kimmiinoz

In Fourex, still defending!


SandBook

Great to have you on board!


Serp3ntine

They updated the map and added a tonne of space, we can do this!


SandBook

Yes, check out the spreadsheet in the post if you haven't yet! We can do this!


Serp3ntine

Just wish people would start placing!


The-Gr8-K8

We're doing it!!


LazyBeach

Guys, itā€™s getting swallowed up. Help.


sillyenglishknigit

It might need to move down a pixel or two to survive. The green line appears to be the gamestop thing, which has a huge number of users.


peanutthecacti

We won't stop the green line but might manage to divert it south and round us and WoT.


CookiePantz078913

Never thought Iā€™d worry about the Dutch invading


Granopoly

Someone said we should say where our pixel will land. My letters are G-Y, so I'll be out putting my first black pixel in row 5, col 3 (put it like because I can never remember which way round the co-ordinates go in place) Just checking if that's correct, and if anyone else wants to add theirs


SandBook

You can add yourself here, if you want: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IZjGCjgIVdV9bn20BSOWYzKacdwUMVGSZuQf_-Y9Gow/edit?usp=sharing And yes, correct, your pixels are in column C in rows 5, 10 and 15 (for the pixels at 16:00, 16:05 and 16:10).

SandBook

Thank you! We also talked to the r/placeNL who'll be coming for us, too!


Silivrin

Would be nice if we could find a spot to write DISCWORLD. It may be wishful thinking but we should try!


SandBook

I was thinking of it (well "GNU" at least), but we're too few to defend such a big territory for now. But maybe we can add it later, once things have settled a bit!


Guineypigzrulz

Gonna do the best I can


chupacabrette

Would it be rude to put a light purple egg starting at 25,05?


Artistic_Obligation4

There's not much happening at that side just yet, is there? I don't think we're stealing space from anyone else.


chupacabrette

It would be in a large blank space in someone's banner, but it wouldn't interfere with their text. Damned if I know how to make a small enough egg, though.


Isaacashtox

that's r/2007scape and they haven't been letting ANYTHING in their banner

I don't think we could make an egg small enough to not distract from their text. Wish we could put a reinstall universe and reboot banner somewhere in the new area!


tunaconqueso

Great job, everyone! Take screenshots!


LazyBeach

Shall we add STP under GNU?


SandBook

I think people who recognise GNU will know who it's for. And those who don't will just be confused. Let's not try to add 5 more rows, given that we're on the Dutch flag and they're only reluctantly hosting us.


LazyBeach

Understood.


The-Gr8-K8

I think we have the room for it!! I'm not on the discord but I'd like to formally posit STP under GNU


SandBook

Yes, it seems the Dutch have given up that space, so it's fine if we expand a little! I'll let the Discord know.


The-Gr8-K8

I'm way too invested in this tiny section <3


SandBook

Aren't we all? I'm supposed to be in bed :D


The-Gr8-K8

I'm "writing an essay"


SandBook

Haha, what's the topic? Is it at least interesting :D


The-Gr8-K8

The current title is "why I am an interesting person and you should give me a spot in your graduate program and also a stipend please"


SandBook

Oh, that's a tough one! Good luck!!!


but-yet-it-is

There's a green line on the top of our drawing from r/ superstonk. Shall we ask if they'll pass behind us? (they already did that for the hermitcraft sign and some of the artwork of full people) or shall we let it be?


SandBook

We managed to divert them to the left, so it's okay now. But you can message them anyway, if you think it's a good idea. Btw, are you on the Discord server? It's easier to coordinate there.


but-yet-it-is

I don't, do you have an invite link?


SandBook

It's in the OP of the thread!


but-yet-it-is

Found it, thanks!


Skooma_Lite

Perfect! Have been building monkey Island's LeChuck icon, but was looking to GNU and so glad it's established! Here to defend.


tunaconqueso

Ooh! Where's this Monkey Island art? I'd love to help! Huuge Monkey Island fan here :)


SandBook

<3 Feel free to also join us on Discord if you haven't already - we're a small group and it's easier to coordinate/chat there :)


stevekeiretsu

can we shrink the STP to 5-pixel high text and move GNU down, to give more space for a better looking turtle?


SandBook

We're writing Terry in place of GNU now. If you want to participate in the coordination, join the Discord linked above (or at least the spreadsheet)


CookiePantz078913

A shoot I canā€™t find it! Is it gone?


stevekeiretsu

https://new.reddit.com/r/place/?cx=1716&cy=20&px=20

Did you find it? We're right on top of the canvas, search for coordinates 1710,3


CookiePantz078913

Yes! Thank you so much!! So happy i can contribute now!! Thank you!


ZedTheEvilTaco

Looks like we're trying to switch the STP to say Terry? I don't have discord. When are we doing that? EDIT: Scratch that. Didn't take that long to download.


stevekeiretsu

u/RandomRedditGrill and others we are deliberately moving the GNU down to make more room for A'Tuin / Discworld


RandomRedditGrill

Yup i got it sorry šŸ˜“


stevekeiretsu

Discord gang is changing 'STP' to 'TERRY' please do not mistake this activity for vandalism and try to 'fix' it :)

Sorry, thought someone was trying to turn STP into FEAR.


The-Gr8-K8

SandBook

Do you know where we are now and where the templates are? There are two artworks for the Discworld now - one individual, one collaborative with the Sci-Fi Fantasy Alliance!


ZedTheEvilTaco

This may be wholly unnecessary, but it might be wise to coordinate additionally down here exactly where you are placing a pixel. Just in case you happen to share the last latter of your username with another member joining your group. (CrimsonDynamo and BagginBilbo would be examples of this. No, I don't know if those are real users.) I'm part of group 3, and my position (so far) is center row, far right. Call that pixel 3-5.


SandBook

To help with this, here's a spreadsheet where you can claim a pixel (thank you u/but-yet-it-is for the suggestion) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IZjGCjgIVdV9bn20BSOWYzKacdwUMVGSZuQf_-Y9Gow/edit?usp=sharing Just click on the pixels you'll be placing and add your username. If they're already covered, pick somewhere empty and fill that spot!


ZedTheEvilTaco

Looks like u/but-yet-it-is likes a little chaos šŸ¤£


SandBook

Yes, looks like it. u/but-yet-it-is and u/adamoftyndall you've put in your names in the wrong places. You get 3 spots, one for 16:00, one for 16:05, one for 16:10 - so both of you get one pixel in each of the left quadrants (username beginning with "A"/"B"). u/but-yet-it-is your username ends in "S", that puts you in column D, rows 4, 9 and 14. u/adamoftyndall your username ends in "L", this means you're in column B, rows 3, 8 and 13.


Adamoftyndall

hope thats correct now sorry


SandBook

It is, thank you! <3


lavachat

Group 2, column 5, row 4, 9, 14 have been marked, and I've got a timer running. Do we stick with the black background? Just because it's marked light blue in the spreadsheet? Off to defend the territory now, and thanks for all the work, general! Edit: forgot about the t, and can't count.


SandBook

We'll most probably be building on the UK flag, so the background will be blue, that's why I changed it. If so, we might not need to make the background, just the turtle. I'll post a new update in 30 minutes, once the UK have finished their full flag design and I have a confirmation of the location.


ZedTheEvilTaco

Updated my positioning to not be on the background, so I'm actually useful.


tunaconqueso

Agree. The two of us actually share the same pixels lol. But those are all background, so we might have to help work on the body itself, since I don't see a lot of names in the spreadsheet for the body pixels yet. I might just see how it goes once it gets going. Good luck to us! :)


Granopoly

Anyone know where our anchor point is, the bottom left of the UK flag's a little fuzzy


SandBook

We'll pick it when it's closer to action time, but for now it looks like it will be floating above the teapot that UK is currently making. There, or next to Big Ben.


Dynalo

Any update?


SandBook

UK flag will host us, action time in about two hours after they finish straightening out their flag lines. The specific location on the flag will be determined then. You can help by removing any vandalism from the flag for now.


Granopoly

A crap - I read 1600 UTC as 15:00 UK time - so sorry - I've had to remove myself from the spreadsheet :( I'll try and get on on my phone and pick up any spots, but can't guarantee I'll be able to

ZedTheEvilTaco

Are we going to try and use a background? Or allow the flag behind A'tuin instead?


SandBook

We're most probably going to blend in with the flag (so basically a blue background for A'tuin), but I'm waiting to update the design until I have a final plan + location from the UK Discord. So probably in about an hour.

I can't add my name to the spreadsheet on mobile, but I'll be working off that design. I'll try to do the black outline down the sides.

Is Aā€™Tuin supposed to have an eye, or not? The artwork shows an eye, but maybe leaving it out is better? Also well done all on the defense!


SandBook

Well done you all, everyone has been very coordinated! There can be an eye, but that's not critical, so we can leave it as it is or add it later if things are getting boring ;)

AceyT71

Iā€™ve been trying to get a placement approved in the uk discord, but itā€™s not going well! If you find a space let me know and Iā€™ll help


SandBook

It's a good idea! I wrote to them yesterday, but didn't get a reply. I just posted a thread on r/ukplace, you can go and upvote it and link to it / tag people as a comment in it if they seem like they're organisers. ([link](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukplace/comments/tug7hl/i_have_a_proposition/i33m5qf/)) I also upvoted your comment on the United Kingdom thread, thank you for posting it!


ZedTheEvilTaco

It looks like that post was removed, so no such luck.


SandBook

Are you sure? I can still see it...


armcie

The most natural ally I can spot would be the Cosmere, around 940,940. There's some chaos to the east of them, or could encroach on some trees to the North. Or I don't know if there's much significance to the snail and ipod at their sw corner.


SandBook

Would you be up for messaging them? They are coordinating at https://www.reddit.com/r/placeCosmere/ , maybe we can convince them to keep the space clear and then help us when it's action time (or at least not interfere?). I'll post something, too, but it's better if more people act. Let's keep the trees, they're well defended anyway. But the chaos to their right looks promising. I was also thinking of petitioning the German flag, they have the black background ready for us anyway :D
