They cant just throw everythin over board before the EU even became a stable union.... they risked everything because of bullshit politics. Also its driving other nations more into conservativism (such as Poland and Hungary) and right now is creating alot of stress when it comes to ukraine and helping Ukraine. Germany is a joke right now and was for the last 7 years. So its not only Scholzes Fault also Merkels. And I would know because I am in its capital city and I am really into geo politics and can easily tell you why the UN is crap instead of a GOOD thing like they pretend to be Example: They send FOOD instead of equipment, infrastructure and education to africa because africa needs to be controlled and reliant on the UN. Sending food destroy local farmers and businesses that cant compete with free UN food. And people cant be convinced to actually become farmers if they cant make a living out of it. The few that exist are kept small since they cant grow their business. Its a disgusting mechanism. They dont need food they need means to make their own food so they dont need the UN anymore.

I am in awe of the osu! community. They were among the most attacked artworks but they were defending their ground so well, they were accused of botting when in fact there were 1200 people on discord trying their best to not only defend their own place but also other communities. The flags were annoying at first but many of them were filled with skylines, important landmarks, memes or significant pieces of media of that country, like Belgium's Tin Tin, France's Asterix or Germany's Maus. Where Germany's and France's flags met, people drew the logo of the TV channel "arte" which is a channel in both German and French, symbolising the friendship between the two nations. I loved r/place. It's a love letter to so many things. It was a marvel to behold, the good, the bad, the horny, the sus, the void, the flags and the people who tried their best to keep other artworks safe and to keep Bananada's flag from ever resembling a maple leaf.

r/place was probably the most fun I've had on reddit. The difficulties coordinating with other communities crossing language and cultural borders was incredible and yet exciting at the same time. Every single instance where we had to begin communicating with another group was incredible. Alliances were formed and destroyed, truces were made and protections was promised. I personally worked on the Titanfall 2/Team Fortress 2 logos and that time when the only thing that mattered was the constant threat of xqc's void threatening to blot out every small community on the board was somehow stressful and exhilarating at the same time. Regardless of what happened to your artwork during the reign of r/place, I would like to say this: The internet, however vulgar will always find away to cooperate, communicate, and eventually destroy what was accomplished. Because amazing things cannot last forever and r/place is not any different. It should not be annual or even regular, which I think would take away what makes it special. But regardless of what your opinions are on the frequency of what r/place should be held at I think we can all agree on one thing: Fuck Chtorrr.

Then when poland invaded and the Romanians had no where left, Touhou changed their artwork title on the other side of the canvas to have the blue/yellow/red pattern, honoring their fallen comrades.

Context for that image for people wondering: The man is sad "Yagoo" CEO of a vtuber (virtual youtubers, anime avatars streamers that sing and stuff) group "Hololive". The meme behind why he is crying is because he pivoted his company to be a virtual idol (singer) group, but basically everyone in that group has became comedy streamers, so he's crying because his dream is dead of a PG 'seiso' idol singing group.

@@deeperthantheabyss624 The vtuber place experience was heckin awesome since we managed to build crazy large areas with close to no losses in territory; as someone who was fighting for Hololive on r/place from day 2 til the end, I think our main strengths were our alliances (Belgium, Germany, osu), our command structure and our coordination Alliance wise, we lucked out really hard by being on the corner of Belgium and Germany, so by day they'd tank attacks for us and by night we'd deal with the griefing on their flags. osu coming to our aid was kinda expected since we're all weebs together, and their help was super useful when xqc raided the Hololive logo on day 2. Command structure wise, the vtuber community had 3 main r/place discords, the first one spearheading most of the projects (vtuber-place) , the second one working on their own projects while helping out the other areas (okbh) and the third, smallest "discord" mostly worked on defending existing arts ("place" thread in Hololive Fan Server). We'd get pinged every time attacks were happening or when allies wanted specific demands, so things got done fast and we even managed to approve the existence of artworks on the Belgian flags Coordination wise, we'd utilise the discords to time placing pixels on the canvas. On the 3rd day, there was a 2-hour long battle in the eastern section of the canvas where a force of 200-400 people were defending from a Russian streamer with 6k live viewers, and through sheer passion for our stuff and coordination, we managed to force the streamer back o7 to all that fought on r/place

It was an honor representing Rainbow Six on r/place! In 2017, we had the big machine gun icon of Tachanka to represent us (as well as buff Blitz and epi, the community manager at the time). I wasn't involved with that, but I loved seeing the memes there at the time. Now in 2022, I started getting involved on the third day. We only had our 6 logo and Tachanka's big green helmet was wiped out. Seeing how massive the German flags were, we proposed to represent the game's German characters somewhere along the flag. I went to r/placeDE's Discord to propose this, and I met the head ambassador SKB, who also happened to moderate Rainbow Six's Discord. I invited him to our server and then we voted on which characters to represent. IQ and Jäger won the vote. We got to work on some mockups. SKB posted our mockup and made a plea to the German's, and they voted in approval! We were so happy that we secured a space. Though, the German's did most of the heavy lifting by making our sprite chibis actually work with r/place. The ending to r/place was poetic. It ended how it started. I would have been annoyed if some streamer decided to wipe us out. But everything turning white was somehow comforting. Not every plan along the way was a success, like trying to negotiate with Quebec to secure a space for our 6. But it was wonderful to see how different communities organized. I had fun representing, negotiating, and defending our part! I would like to thank r/placeDE and SKB for allowing us the space and making our chibis work within the flag!

Sure, having an organized and active community got you far in terms of what you could make, but what _really_ let you punch above your weight was forming alliances. In an alliance, whenever one mural wasn't under attack, the people managing it were free to defend other allied murals - making for a incredibly solid defense. I was with the VA-11 HALL-A server, and while we were around 200 strong, we were able to tap into the collective manpower of _thousands_ through alliances with placepenguins, numerous gacha game communities - even Osu, as one of our murals was right next to that big-ass Peppy.

We had a similar experience in the NW corner, there's a lot of smaller pieces there, and Runescape is situated there. Runescape proved a resilient opponent to Nordicunion's invasion attempts, particularly Norway trying to expand to the Western Wall. Runescape did eventually lose a bit of ground, which lead to almost all the small pieces in the NW corner and notably r/NLplace forming one big NW corner alliance. As Norwegian Runescape veteran it was conflicting times having my own country invade on my underdog favourite, but I'm glad Runescape stood it's ground. It was a lot of fun working together to form the NW alliance, and speaking to people from other communities I never would engage with otherwise.

Being a Diplomat and Mod for the PlaceNL (Netherlands area) community was very intense but a lot of fun. Spoke with so many different communities and people from all around the world, set up alliances, collaborations and all. One of our highlights when painting our giant paintings was a huge effort to relocate most of the artworks we displaced, instead of just destroying them. The stories of diplomacy of all projects in this event are probably worth gathering and combining into some sort of documentary.

I didn't know about it when it started, so I was only there for the last two days. I quickly joined the fairly small r/CaveStory community and the next 30-40 hours was some of the most fun I have ever had in my life. Constantly being under threat from streamers, with frequent losses and victories both big and small, it was exhilarating. It feels absolutely devastating for it to end so soon, and I know I'll be desperately craving to have this experience again for the next five years.

Canada's flag issue was firstly due to random people trying to make our flag outside the group. Then when people memed it, spanish streamers tried to turn it into weed (its been legal here since 2016 (maybe 18) or something). Afterwards Canada got an overlay and sorta fixed the leaf, then with the map expansion quickly, they moved the flag 3 times with no success until germany allianced with Canada to make the maple leaf in their territory, since the germans felt bad for building over their flag a bit. Canada then got a hold of france's/spain's (spain was invading one of their new flags) botting software and method designed their own with similar code. The Canada members who used the bot quickly got banned and the flag returned to shit as the bot coders had accidentally coded a small mistake in the bot while the overlay designer was too incompetent to make a proper overlay, and he ruined the one they were using out of stupidity (I found the method to make a proper one but didn't want to give it to them due to the management allowing botting). Reddit then unbanned all their bot accounts and the flag finally returned to normal with the provinces above it. (There is more like tagpro moving and the organizers of the flag being too nice to them and not coordinating properly due to mixed priorities but yeah a lot went wrong) Atleast the flag was so griefed you can see it in the heatmap.)

It was basically agreed that his "idol dream" was dead and a photo of him was found from before Yagoo was a CEO and it became his signature photo for his shattered dream.

I did not know what to make out of it. For a coordinated attack it was to big to spread out. It took me a few minutes to realize that one could only place white pixels. It took some time but then the shock faded and was replaced with happiness. We all know it would end. For me it was oddly satisfying seeing every thing return to its original state. I joined the discord where many others had gathered and spent the next one or two hours listening to our groups leaders who talked about how happy they where how good all went and the goals we did not achieve. This evening we gathered once more. Once again our leaders hold a speech explaining what kind of work was going on in the background. Talking with other sub reddits, planing new pieces of our art work... For me this weekend has been the happiest this entire year, maybe since the begin of the pandemic.

This experment was amazing. I never really found myself to be "in" certain communities, but when I found out we were large enough to make a little art piece on the first canvas, I got hooked and now feel I firmy understand my community and can participate in more of their events. The streamer twist also made the even much more fun, as it RELLY encouraged allying with your neighbors both to fight off large attacks, and the help them defend. unless you were a country flag, there was really no reason to invade others, because the likelihood of an extinction raid was all too high.

We ended up becoming the main allying force of a ton of others too; Elden Ring was the big one with our Radiance + Erdtree, but we also made a bench with Baba Is You, Ori, Bloodborne, Phoenix Wright, and a bunch of others. It was an awesome time :)

The coordination here was really important. We defended the Estonian flag against r/PoliticalCompassMemes, despite the population of our entire country being just over twice as large as the amount of subscribers on their subreddit. Our country's subreddit is 10x smaller than theirs. They didn't manage to take anything from us and were instead infighting due to their lack of coordination. Meanwhile, we helped other Baltic States, drew our coat of arms on our flag, drew our national bird on our flag, coordinated with the other Baltic States to draw the borders of our countries with our flags inside them (which temporarily expanded into the rest of Europe till some streamer invaded them), and made a pixel art of one of our folk legends ("Suur Tõll") while also fighting the Colombian flag.
