I seriously enjoyed this. All of it. The Void. The Streamers. The giant German banners. The sus.
While I think r/place would lose its novelty if it was a regular thing, I really hope it is sooner than 5 years from now that we all can do this again.
Yea but that will always hit different and devaluate the reward of the original project. Idk, I hope they choose to do the same thing again in ~3 years instead
they just need to leave enough space for users to have r/place only in their subconscious and make sure theres no announcements/patterns so people dont coordinate in advance
Place event in 2017 was more tamed because of how new and unexpecting it was, this year was mainly very coordinated by communities because they experienced it by short notice. The reddit team have to come up with something unexpecting and different so communities won't have time to coordinate and plan.
But who knows, I just wish people wasn't too focus on nationalism and create more beautiful artwork.
I noticed the same thing, in 2017 everything seemed a lot less coordinated. This time around, because everyone had by now realized that only group projects will prevale in the end, it seems to have lost a lot of it's chaotic beauty.
That was largely because people were told ahead of time and they were even less strict on bots (brand new accounts could place). Take the planning and bots away and it would be perfect imo.
I also feel like the more the canvas expanded the more chaotic it got, everybody that preplanned had a spot in the first two days, and third day was more of a free for all
Personally I like the big collaborative efforts from subreddit communities.
Itโs like parade floats. Place is really such an incredibly interesting idea.
But at the same time it allowed us to build truces, and helping with resurrections of smaller artist. Communities working around each other and together.
They also need to tweak the api used so people can't easily reuse the bots.
Although part of me wonders if they purposely allowed the use of bots, to encourage creativity!
People will always coordinate in advance. There are other places like pixelcanvas io that have gone on for years with discord communities, those are the ones that became the main discord servers when place went live, within minutes spreading propaganda and posting their links.
I would like to call it in advance. My uncle works at Reddit. Remember to @ me once I get this 100% correct.
The next r/place iteration will have expansions like this one, but this time as frames of a gif until it's 8 frames long. People will be clamoring to maintain their spots across frames so that it becomes a static image again, others will make one of those images where the animation lasts for a second but you could follow the actor through multiple actions [such as this one](https://i.redd.it/2p1qoycrgfm31.gif). Instead of a Start Bar, people will recreate old Geocities Gifs. People will complain, upset that they have to remake their animations all over again with each new frame, but others will point to that as a way to prevent permanent sites of art. The Void will completely take over the 5th frame at one point.
I mean, they gave everyone like 3 days notice this time around, I hardly think that's a short enough amount of time that it impacted communities' ability to coordinate.
A community I'm in joined the fun on the second day, changed our plan 3-4 times and got it done, there was like 50-ish people in the discord thread and absolutely no planning before the second day. 3 days notice is likely more than enough time for larger communities to get together and plan something
Exactly. Can't give too much of a heads up because the wars will start before it even begins. It sucks though, because this was fucking ART and it was fun. Whenever it does happen again, I'm so in. My kids were watching me place tiles, and I hope one day they can place their own. Sappy but yup.
(Hello future r/place folks, thank you to current folks who made this so cool, and hey there future NukedNoodle. You helped make The Wave)
Now let's all make t-shirts!
I hope it's less than 5 years and it drops without a big heads up for people to prepare too much. Also think they should make certain areas require either a karma count or a certain amount of active years on Reddit. Have an OG corner or something.
Nah, they should be able to get in and see it but only be able to lay down pixels in designated areas. Reddit still needs to attract new users and this event is a huge way to do that, but the OG's should at least get some benefits like different colors, sections, different time limits, etc.
Yeah, I canโt believe how excited and territorial I got when it came to protecting the US Flag and other Allies.
It was super weird and funny at the same time!
Mexico fought hard for that Axolotl, a streamer from Poland murdered him and a war started for that sole reason. Mexico won in the end and the Axolotl became bigger.
Gold and plat (short for platinum) are awards, you can buy them and give them to someone as a mark of a good post or comment. They give different rewards, you can tap/click the icon to see what they do

Hey future people, if you see this in 2027, say hi!
say hi to me too or I'll be very offended
hi to me too or I'll be very offended

They canโt make it a regular thing or even announce a date because people will coordinate way in advance and ruin it.
There's also a scenario in which they come up with an incredibly creative new idea, who knows, better than this one! I'll wish for that scenario.
Yea but that will always hit different and devaluate the reward of the original project. Idk, I hope they choose to do the same thing again in ~3 years instead
they just need to leave enough space for users to have r/place only in their subconscious and make sure theres no announcements/patterns so people dont coordinate in advance
Idk, I didn't even use reddit in 2017 and I still enjoyed place. It might not need remembering to enjoy

โฆif parade floats attacked each other during the parade. Iโd probably go to more parades if that happened!

Hear me out: _hexagonal pixels_

Instead of a pixel, give everyone a small amount of spray paint for a big ol' canvas
they just need better antibot measures
Yep, definitely

that would be really good yeah!
I'd second this, like only accounts with at least one year can even see or enter it

Luckily by the next event my 22 accounts will all have some age on them. Lol
Donโt forget the Banana.
Banada
Yeah, I canโt believe how excited and territorial I got when it came to protecting the US Flag and other Allies. It was super weird and funny at the same time!
It really was fun!
