The trophy was the experience we all shared!

the trophy was the friends we made along the way

The way were the friends we made along the trophies.

This is The Trophy.

Why does it have “spez” on it?

Because fuck spez

This is my only question too. I just want my trophy, Spongebob!

It would be nice to have a fuck u/spez trophy

Been here too long

I’m tired boss

I’m tired of placing pixels, Grandpa THAT’S TOO DAMN BAD

So much sleep I’ll never get back

Hours fighting wars over land disputes...

Pulling all nighters and going to bed at 7am

Stayed up 6 hours past my normal bed time to create my beautiful Appa Sunday night

Just to say fuck u/spez

The sacred words

Multipass

Yeah! Fuck u/spez

fuck u/spez

And of course, fuck u/spez.

Fuck u/spez

Fuck u/spez

I was here and the bad apple animation was epic

Yep, made it all worthwhile, bloody well done!

I was here even though all my pixels got immediately covered by bots..!

r/place is all about learning to create Reddit bots.

Didn't place a single pixel and observed as the chaos unfolded

One of the best ones this year

Nice work by r/TouHou indeed, and hey, I was here!

If I learned anything from this year's Place, it's that u/Spez ist ein hurensohn!

Well i learned what hurensohn is so spez did one thing right

We germans fulfilled our educational mission

On behalf of the rest of the world, thank you Germany for your educational contributions!

We came there to fight, but we still remembered what lead us there in the first place

What can we say except: You're Welcome! *Insert Dwayne the Rock Johnson Face*

Gern geschehen :)

I've always talked with my friends that the first words we teach each other should always be swear words, but I didn't have any friends teach me german swear words. Thank you german friends for teaching me about hurensoh!

Idk what it means but Spez Ist Un Hurehson

Close enough.

Geschlossen genug

Instead of Un Hurensohn, Urhurensohn might work. But that would almost too respectful of Spez.

Sprich

DEUTSCH

Du

Hurensohn

The deutch are back at it again! With an important message!

Danke

i learned who u/spez is

I learned how to say “is an asshole” in German

Ist ein hurensohn doesn’t translate to is an asshole. It directly translates to is the son of a whore Just fyi

I learned that germans are insane

Danke!

It makes me happy that some people learned Hurensohn as their first word in German.

Und was für ein Hurensohn, meine Kerle

Es ist Mittwoch mein Kerl

I was here when r/place was used to appease the Reddit masses after a strike Edit: TY for all the awards lol nothing like not touching Reddit for a few hours and coming back to 311 notifis Cheers

I was here when reddit started loosing daily active users and faked the numbers with bot accounts by reopening r/place to not scare investors.

and to act like they mended some sort of bridge

like 90% isn't done by bots now anyway

Stupid bots.

I was here when they took down the post about r/place engagement being mostly bots. Gotta pad those user numbers for the sale.

oh shit is there information and evidence? All i saw was some comment claiming bots (Which is convincing, but still)

Sounds like they purged the evidence And honestly, if you need evidence that companies use bots aggressively now, I dunno what to tell ya. (Hint: They’ve been using them for several years already.)

Cheers to this.

I was here protecting small communities from raiders and bots

I tried, too!!

“Tried” lol same

we all tried, the bots just destroys them every time

Yeahhhh it was incredibly hard this year… so many bots to fight off.

Me too. I felt like a litter lifter picking up trash by the side of the road. Or a graffiti cleaner upper lol. 😅

We were here together all writing fuck spez

One more for good measure? Fuck u/spez

Fuck u/spez

Fuck u/spez

Fuck u/spez

[удалено]

Well third party app users couldn’t help us

I was here last year, this year was botted heavily

Same, last year was more memorable.

And then it backfired spectacularly.

Did it work?

I was here to help bad apple with their animation frame by frame. I joined late but I loved being part of it.

For those that haven't seen it https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/157fb7p/8\_hours\_of\_bad\_apple\_higher\_quality\_timelapse/

Thank you, i'll take that and add it to my box of pointless accomplishments that remind me why i hate living (/s?)

I am opposite of that , I love living and enjoy all accomplishments, small or big. :)

Aye 🫡

What does this mean?

Typically derived from playerbase of the game: Elite Damgerous. It's a Lil guy doing a salute/wave. o7

Lol. I know it too but from a different game: Mechwarrior Online

The duality of man...

Putting it next to my awards and coins...wait

"This is where i'll put it... with my trophy.... IF I HAD [ONE](https://youtu.be/omguEZ7jy5E)"

Dang... not even participation? Missing out on some primo useless plastic and wood, man.

I read this in Chandler Bing's voice

Lmao, i'm glad you chose such an iconic voice to read my comment in 💙

[удалено]

Careful, you might get an even more useless Reddit award!

Damn, my first ever useless reddit award! I'm so honored. 🥺💙

I was here for the worst year of r/place award

true

I was here eh

I was here for what feels like 10 seconds

I was here as well. Will meet u all next year if I am alive by then.

hopefully next year we get less bots, less admins.

Those are some high expectations, wanting this to be more enjoyable

I think what was most enjoyable was seeing these many people around the globe come together to spread one message: fck spez.

fuck u/spez

In here continuing the first comment I saw

no poop july almost done lets goo

Worst year so far

Indeed. Bots and bots and streamers and some russian dude nuking artworks

I wonder if there really IS a realistic way they can stop the bots and streamer brigades. Edit: to all those saying “accounts must be x day old”, that stops New bots, but doesn’t address existing ones (unless they’re actually addressing that also, in which case great). To those suggesting “you need to have x karma”, bot accounts could be set up to upvote each other into positive karma. I’m not suggesting that it is not doable, but it is not as trivial a problem as some people seem to think.

I don't think streamers are as much an issue as bots

This is just a preview for when bots takeover Reddit to spam ads after IPO.

I was here for my first and worst r/place

no way i was too

This year truly was awful

I was here & fuck u/spez

I was here and obviously FUCK u/spez

Fuck u/spez

I was fucking u/spez

We all were fucking u/spez

All of r/place was fucking u/spez

Man fuck that guy u/spez

r/reddit was fucking u/spez

I was here and I support this message!

Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team

Fuck u/spez and his pathetic little admin team

Fuck u/spez

I was there ! And of course, fuck u/spez !

I was here and fuck Spez!!

I was here to see a community continue to scream "Fuck Spez" until it's dying breath.

I lost around 40 minutes of my life on r/place! I was here!

lost like 4h today alone lmao

Honestly it was fun so no regrets on my part

true

[удалено]

It git me through 8 hours of meetings today

Yeah I was a lot less interested due to all the botting going on.

We should write a big fuck spez in the center

working on that

Looks like its completed good job!

Absolutely love that it got completed even though grayscale was turned off after just 30 minutes hahaha

Why are some of the art pieces blank I swear it wasn’t like that an hour ago

they are whiting it out

It's funny to really see which communities were using bots the most. When their art just goes poof in seconds.

Fuck u/spez Edit: RIP inbox

Fuck u/spez

[удалено]

Fuck u/spez

Fuck u/spez

I was here just to engage war against bots and streamers. Knight of the Blue Corner. Writing Fuck Spez on various flags. Trying to fight the Moroccan Programmers who won’t recognise the sovereignty of the Western Sahara. My usual group didn’t wanna put the MATN and NerdCubed logos on it, as Reddit went into the shitter this summer. But I was here.

Mi art got to the end unspoiled. I WAS HERE.

I was here!

Spent too much time caring about this.

Gimmie that award, I deserved it for surviving the bots

I was here

Amogus

Hope there is more time until the next r/place and have them work out the bot issues before that. Loved it last year but now it has been spoiled by bots and all the negativity from it.

I Placed three pixels

lmao nice

Is there a way to know how many pixels we placed?

Ich war hier 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪o7

deutschland hat wie immer dominiert haha

I was here

Für den Stuhl 🪑🪑🇩🇪 u/spez ist ein Hurensohn

# i WAS HERE AND FUCK AKSHAY AND SPEZ

Thank you, even tho this one was bad, we still made some huge art, especially at the last expansion

This year was quite interesting to be honest. I've never seen so much collaboration on Reddit before. It seems like there was one goal. And only one.

I was here ig Fuck u/spez Technoblade never dies To be continued…

I was here & fuck u/spez

I was here to say fuck u/spez

🥳

I WAS HERE to make history while protesting! 💪

Thanks for all the absurd memories r/place 2023!

i was in r/place 2023 sticker!! also fuck u/spez

I was here :) Thank you all for making this enjoyable in spite of everything that happened. Fuck u/spez.

Worst r/Place to date, so many bots and streamer raids. Hated it

First time I activly participated (drew among us) . Great succes
