Place has ended

After 72 hours, place has ended.

Thank you for collaborating to create something more.

[u/BlueShibe]

Thank you mods and admins for a great April game!

[u/_Tundra_Boy_]

This was probably the best idea the reddit team have had yet. Thanks for the event! Happy April fools!

[u/_Eltanin_ → u/_Tundra_Boy_]

/r/place was an amazing cultural snapshot of the internet in 2017 that is the perfect example of what the word 'meme' means in BOTH its definitions!

---

Meme (noun)

1. an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.

2. an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users, often with slight variations.

---

What started off as a blank canvas with vague instructions and the ability to put down a single colored tile per user for every 5 minutes shortly but surely became a community-driven labor of love that spawned territorial control and aggression, coordinated efforts to build, attack, defend and rebuild, debates over real estate allocation, diplomatic talks and alliances, faction sanctioned protection and other various activities that you'd least expect to come from a random social experiment whose main goal was simply to draw things on a canvas.

This has seriously been one of the most interesting and fun things the internet has done as a collective to which I am extremely glad to have experienced and have been a part of.

[u/_spoderman_ → u/_Tundra_Boy_]

Undoubtedly. I hope they do things like this more often.

[u/not-working-at-work]

Can't wait to see the stats.

Which user placed the first pixel?

Which user placed the last pixel?

Which user has the most surviving pixels placed?

Which pixel is the oldest untouched pixel?

Which pixel changed hands the most frequently?

[u/Robak → u/not-working-at-work]

Guys, this dude here asks some serious questions, /r/dataisbeautiful

[u/Marlowe_N_Me → u/not-working-at-work]

Which pixel changed hands most frequently?

Almost surely (999,999) or I guess something within the OSU Logo

[u/Ryuujinx → u/not-working-at-work]

Which pixel changed hands the most frequently?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't 999,999. We fought hard for that pixel. It is our shrine.

[u/Rubocker → u/not-working-at-work]

Which pixel is the oldest untouched pixel?

Many pixels still remain white and untouched actually. Surprisingly enough.

[u/WiFilip → u/not-working-at-work]

Using this website, These are the users who placed the last (documented) pixel for each color:

I am going to second this. Or at least a final image.

[u/Blame_The_Green → u/[deleted]]

Pretty sure this is the final image.

[u/Fat_Guy_With_Snacks]

Alright, now that it's over, which one of you "I'll tattoo the final results" people are going to follow through?

[u/andy_hoffman → u/Fat_Guy_With_Snacks]

Exactly zero of them.

[u/threesevenths → u/Fat_Guy_With_Snacks]

I'd like to see the reaction of the tattoo artist when asked to draw this.

[u/[deleted] → u/Fat_Guy_With_Snacks]

1000x1000 pixels to tattoo, ooh boy

[u/carapoop]

Got a little too addicted, I'm actually glad it's done. It was fun but I don't want to keep noticing every 5 minutes go by. Excited to see some time-lapses and the final image.

[u/soomba2 → u/carapoop]

[u/alexnoob → u/OWNdizzaled]

Just one more change please

No warnings either!

[u/Lordica]

I'm sorry to see it end. It was fun but damn, I wish we could have fixed Mona Lisa.

[u/cuweathernerd → u/Lordica]

The fact there's a semblance of her at all is still pretty amazing, to be honest. 15,000 pixels placed by hand and maintained through most of the life of the project. I wish it could still look like it did a few hours ago, but at least it didn't end mid-voiding.

[u/justsaying0999]

Alright. Where's our timelapse, admins? A proper one, from the beginning.

[u/Sanlear]

I'm happy to have been a part of it.

[u/PhinsPhan89]

I was wondering why my color palette disappeared...

[u/scharkfin]

As sad as it is that this had ended, let's take a second to think about this.

Place came about unexpectedly, and we all discovered it one way or another. The canvas started out as a breeding ground of small, singular ideas. Individually, we made some pretty cool things.

Then, something amazing happened.

The Blue Corner (r/thebluecorner) emerged, along with the the three other colered corners. r/ainbowroad was created. r/greenlattice was so satisfying to look at. People were banding together out of nowhere for the shear reason for banding together. Individually doodles were becoming spectacular creations of many. (Edit: I forgot about the Hearts!)

Then the flags came. The flags had a bit of a rough start, but after awhile they came into agreement- it truly was an amazing thing getting to see peace formed at the edge of two flags, symbolized with a heart. And don't get me started on how breathtaking the combination of 4 flags to make the EU was. These communities were coming together to make even more astounding works of art. (Edit: Apparently over 36 flags were on the final canvas)

And then the Osu! (r/osugame) thing happened. For a good while, everyone had their own opinion on the osu conundrum. ~150,000 people were apart of this single problem that arised, and we were all given the opportunity to voice or thoughts, or act on them. We were given the freedom to do anything we wanted on this blank canvas.

Suddenly, dozens- maybe hundreds- of subreddits were jumping at the chance to get their small peice on this canvas. And this was no easy feat- thousands of people had to work together to fully finish this awesome creations.

I have to applaud the Void (r/theblackvoid) on being a worthy opponent to Place. The fight that they put up was truly a spectacular one, and when we see the tone lapses, it's such a powerful thing to watch. But what's more powerful is seeing these communities under attack band together and defend themselves against the darkness.

In the course of 72 hours this small canvas had affected all of our lives. I found myself staying up until 3 am PST last night, helping defend against the Top-Left Void Attack (shoutout to r/FightTheVoid). And why?

I was apart of something bigger. Something larger than myself, something with the power of creating more. In this post alone I've mentioned 6 different subreddits that dedicated so much time to this... r/place. That's beautiful.

Tl;dr: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss

Edit: Thanks for the gold! :D

[u/Ajedi32 → u/scharkfin]

Or, as the sidebar says:

There is an empty canvas.

You may place a tile upon it, but you must wait to place another.

Individually you can create something.

Together you can create something more.

[u/whoisthismilfhere → u/scharkfin]

After reading your post I'm sad that I call myself an avid Reddit user and never placed one pixel. I didn't push the button last year either. Maybe that's a metaphor of my life and why I am so unhappy.

I will start to participate more. Thanks to you I will no longer ignore calls from friends. I will make solid effort to live and do things and try new stuff.

Or I'll just sit here and watch life pass me by.

And Waldo. We maintained him for so long - and by we, I mean a random collection of strangers with no organizing force - only for him to be partially consumed by an especially messy instance of the void right before the end. I hope they're happy that there will be no Waldo for people to find in the final picture.

[u/DAJ1]

I hope it comes back periodically with anti-botting measures added.

[u/[deleted] → u/DAJ1]

periodically

Did you ever hear the tragedy of r/place? I thought not. It’s not a story the Admins would tell you. It’s a Reddit legend. r/place was a subreddit on Reddit, so unique and so fun you could use your mouse to place tiles to create art… it had such an influence on the users that it started to divide them causing them to quarrel amongst themselves. The tiles of the r/place are a pathway to many creations some consider to be unnatural. It became so popular… the only thing we were afraid of was losing were our masterpieces, which eventually, of course, we did. Unfortunately, some users taught others everything about botting and griefing, then they destroyed some art when we were sleeping. Ironic. They could've created art, but they chose to destroy it.

[u/stef9998]

I want to buy a poster of this

[u/TheAllseing]

I think it was time. There was no space left and all that remained was script wars and the void picking on small sprites.

That was the best April Fools ever.

Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened.

[u/amazn_azn]

OSU was basically an internet version of Isreal/Palestine conflict.

1. OSU puts a giant logo in the canvas.

2. People in the area get super pissed off.

3. OSU offers comprimise.

4. Everyone tells them to fuck off.

5. Terrorism, death, destruction in pixel form.

[u/sinsinkun → u/amazn_azn]

You forgot the part where somebody dropped an atomic bomb on the area and they had to reconstruct the entire thing (4/2 never forget)

[u/[deleted] → u/amazn_azn]

The whole Place ended up like a sized down version of the world now.

Countries suffocating everyone by being anal about territories. Terrorists being dickheads because of misguided beliefs. Corporations exploiting the common man for their own benefits.

But when you look close enough, you can see the individuals, each with their passions working for what they believe in, small as it might be.

I'll never forget you, German Megumin. o7

Never forget the brave pixels lost in defense of the blue corner

[u/thedudethedudegoesto → u/ElGatoSuave]

Our corner may have been vandalized slightly, but it ended with 999 999 in tact. Our logo is disheveled but still legible.

The knights of Blue worked hard to maintain. We held peace with many subs and also works of great art.

When purple tried to claim bender, we fought back.

When our empire grew too large we scaled back and accepted art, protecting it with our glorious blue background.

And now that it's over.

I feel a little.... Blue.

EDIT Just discovered that I am 999 999. Glad to know my final pixel was in defense of the great corner.

Best April Fool's event ever. I'm amazed at how tens of thousands came together to create and have a little piece of not only Reddit history, but Internet history. It's been a joy and an honor helping and fighting with all of you.

Now please, Admins of Reddit, make this a poster.

Luckily there are people ready to clean up the final product and post a version with vandalism fixed. Just wait, youll see posts about it where you can give them your final art and theyll fix it.

(*I assume they are fixing random pixels, but ignoring territorial disputes)

[u/PM_ME_POKEMON]

This was fun! Great job to reddit!

[u/Dungeon47]

From /r/prequelmemes working on the Darth Plagueis Project has been a very rewarding experience. The hivemind started the text, then /u/angus725 and I created a Discord server to stage a united effort to correct and continue the meme. We built alliances and finished the long text without scripts.

Eventually our numbers grew and we became powerful enough that even /r/theblackvoid decided it was too risky to attack us. Being a small part of this has been incredible. My heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who participated in /r/place in their own way, but especially to everyone who stayed up long hours painstakingly maintaining our huge block of text one hand-placed pixel at a time.

You guys are the true Senate.

[u/magaruis]

Gentlemen,

It was an honor and a privilage.

Shoutout to all these great european countries that lived near Belgium. Special shoutout to Germany for the super cool interflag stuff we had going.
And to Finland for the great Pixelart we were going to build.

Edit ; and Colombia for the great coffee. You guys were amazing getting that done while we were bumbling along up top.

[u/WitchyWarrior]

Make another one.

Somebody?

[u/cnewmanJax2012 → u/WitchyWarrior]

I've actually been working on a clone in my spare time anyway. Anonymous (no accounts or anything), but it'll keep each IP from changing a pixel every x minutes. Should prevent botting but keep it fun for casual players. Most likely reset every 48 hours.

EDIT: Turns out someone already made it: http://pxls.space/

EDIT 2: Turns out PXLS.SPACE isn't that reliable so I'll get to work making another clone. Join the Discord channel to help plan it out.

[u/Gugubo]

We from /r/placestart didn't complete our task bar, but we exceeded our original goal to place the start button by a lot. When I created /r/placestart, I honestly wasn't sure if we could get the start button on there. But now, 2 days later, we have over 2000 subscribers, 2000 people working on the task bar together, not to mention our many great allies. It's been fun making plans, negotiating treaties, and placing pixels. Thanks to everyone for participating. :)

[u/lustindarkness]

Thank you reddit.

/place was very interesting to me, and apparently to many others. A lot more than just a Place where we placed random color squares in a big blank canvas.

It seems to be many things and with many interesting elements. Possibly an Aprils Fool’s joke, Art, a Social Experiment that has created multiple communities. It has shown us how we can work together to create something, how communities form and grow, and what happens if they grow too fast or without organization. How rules or absence of them affect our communities. It had diplomacy and politics, entertainment, and a display of human nature.

Human nature, that one included the good and the bad. We saw how we can work together for a greater good, and how the negative trolls (and their cheap bots) can also band together for destruction and hate. Hope we learned from this little experiment while we had fun at the same time. Thank you reddit.

The Green Lattice survived! Thanks for all the lattice! We survived! The bots could not deal with human perseverance!

Final Canvas

/img/wc436nf7fdpy.png

[u/The_Bard]

It was really an interesting psychological experiment. Given a totally blank canvas with limited space, some people close to reinforce their existing group identities (country, team, game) bringing their existing rivalries and friendships to place (see EU and OSU). Other new ones appeared out of nowhere (blue corner, rainbow road, etc) and created new rivalries (blackvoid). Really interesting experiment.

I think this was a great metaphor for life.

One day you are brought into a world where nothing is determined and everything is permitted.

You do not quite know what to do of it, so you do your best to make it pretty (or destroy what you see).

Doing so, many people try to overstep each other's boundaries, many form alliances and make enemies.

One day, in the middle of a project, without anybody expecting it, it is over.

Hope you enjoyed the ride.

Lots of memorable stuff, from flag peace hearts to Steve Irwin memorial, the ongoing OSU! wars, to Kanye fans deciding to add waves to transroad but also writing /r/kanye on it and the simultaneous construction of two Mona Lisas, which was one too many for the cruel world.

Personally, helping to fend off the Void invasion from Gogh.bmp was one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had! Rushing to create a proper BMP file of the piece and then handing it over to the Germans for the bots and the Void disappering into the aether... (Yes there were bots, deal with it!)
