That's a lot of ponies...

People who can't see this thing is basically dominated by pony stuff are blind

I didn't know they were still going strong

It started off all ponies so, win?

Yeah pawniz rulez amogi this time

Yeah I was surprised. Maybe I shouldn't have been.

Lemmy.Blahaj.zone

But I'm just glad I can't find any hate symbols.

I love that he was labeled "SHONK" for most of it. Also kudos to the person/group that went around incorrectly labeling things.

it was actually a sign from someone with the username "scew" that was there before the blahaj got started. for a while the people from blahaj couldn't decide between changing it or removing it, so it went through a lot of iterations, but it seems they deleted it entirely in the end.

a shame tbh, that they picked a spot someone else had already worked in, and couldn't handle it being in the middle of their stuff.

How do the Germans always win

A big English speaking population, it's small enough that people have a sense of national pride but still large enough to have plenty of users, and most importantly a 3 color flag that's easy to draw with no outside coordination.

Plus, they just love expanding east and west.

Shots been fired.

Btw, if this is an original comment this has to be one of the funnier if not the funniest comment I saw in Lemmy so far. Well done sir/lady!

I want to remind you of this flow chart visualizing how the Germans worked on place 2022 (sorry for potato quality). Does that answer your question?

It's that german engineering everyone talks about

That Nine Inch Nails logo is C.L.E.A.N.

Well done.

Thanks! I had a lot of help and the template tool was crucial.

I saw ur call out for people to assist, the bottom right and right of that border was me and one or two others and they were awesome.

Thought it wouldn’t last the journey but it’s still the first thing I see when I look at that board. Good idea!

Hey! I helped with the left and top border until it was complete. Definitely super clean

I just like that there were two separate Aphex Twin logos there.

I appreciate that the southern one got a Boards of Canada turquoise hexagon next door. Had to toss on Autechre to complete the triumvirate.

I dunno, but I spent my morning drinking coffe and putting my name in an empty space and it’s still there. So I feel like that’s a win.

Germany flag accross like reddit 🙄

As far as they don't destroy anything, its okay. I already feel this canvas was more inclusive of smaller arts and just continued around them ( instead of overriding them )

They destroyed multiple pieces. wrt myself, they cut off all but the chest and head of Myne from Ascendance of a Bookworm, and there was an Alolan Rapidash they tried to take too. They attempted to destroy the pride banner as well, as late as 4:30PM EST yesterday.

Sorry to hear that. Since this was the first event and the moderators itself said technical issues prevented from reading and taking action in a lot of spam reports, i hope the next time would be lot better.

Ya, there definitely is some work to be done. There was one of those confederate snakes on the board for a while too - the "don't treat on me" one that modern domestic terrorist groups enjoy. It ended up getting taken down by the community, drawn over and erased underneath the pride-coloured paint roller in the top corner :)

I hope to see the next canvas be better and more active ^^

It looked like 6-7 all accounts at least. I reported, not sure if it worked.

to be honest im just pleasantly surprised that a rag tag group of us osu peeps left over from r/place managed to build a few big things

After seeing place for years, I still have no idea what OSU is

Ohio State University osu! is a rhythm game where you click circles and is played by weebs such as myself

Aussie.zone were super ambitious, but didn’t have the muscles to pull through.

Ya, that flag was insanely big. I would have rather worked on some Australian cultural icons like Bluey, Steve Irwin and Valtteri Bottas.

Oh damn, I didn't even know how to contribute and represent! Next time I guess.

There were a few Kiwis that tried to give them a hand at the end after we had 3 kiwis and our flag done.

Fire Shark underneath Voit, that and the Nine Inch Nails logo stand out the most.

I like calling Blåhaj fire shark. Sounds like the Anime version of blåhaj

And it's Volt, they are a political movement in pretty much all of Europe.

For some reason I was thinking 'Voit' was 'Vought' from The Boyz, so I guess I'm wrong on all accounts.

Comparing it to last year, that seems to be a lot of white space. Damn.

There was a last year ?

as far as I'm aware, this is the first r/place-like event for Lemmy

exapsy might be talking about Reddit's r/place from last year tho

I thought that at first but then realized I think it’s because the communities respected each other. It’s kind of endearing that way, like we all belong here and there’s enough space for all of us.

That's a great way of putting it.

Although, when you have millions of people in a platform it's hard to prevent playful "wars" and "games" between people which works like chain-reaction and everybody starts doing anything or streamers like XQC realizing they can make content out of this and putting their own "minions" aka viewers to make chaos.

Sometimes, some things are just not in your control.

I think us Kiwis did well to get three kiwis completed (and I did my ULR and QR as well) and then our flag finished

Nine Inch Nails was the first thing I saw

typed this while wearing my pretty hate machine shirt
