The whole experience was awesome. The feeling of unity and teamwork was amazing, and I'm glad to have worked with my fellow community members
BTMC's stream was so fun to be in too. His help in the defenses and especially his argument with xQc were absolutely great to witness live lol. It's still insane to me that an osu representative fricking TALKED TO XQC. The concept of BTMC being in a discord call with Charlie, ironmouse, Mizkif, and xQc all the some time is so surreal and only could've happened because of r/place!
And also I agree that the bot accusations are dis-heartening, but in the end it doesn't matter. We know the bot accusations make zero sense, and that we succeeded because we're the greatest community of r/place, not because of bots.
Also, I send love to all of our allies. It's wonderful that osu had so many people supporting it this year :)
Oh wow
FeelsstrongMan i was there
Pixels! Poggers!
BatChest I LOVE OSU!
BatChest NO WAY I WAS IN A CALL WITH MY FAVORITE STREAMERS AND CRYING OVER PIXELS OMGGGGG

and bots lol

Getting accused of botting is the biggest compliment we could receive
there were a lot of sore losers haha
insult from enemy is the greatest compliment
they changed placed pixels to white at the end to reveal the botting communities. osu turned white immediately same as Germany and France
@@acidpanik2507 A French streamer got his chat to white out the osu logo. They probably were botting, but the osu community for sure didn't bot. If you watched the video, you would understand.
Edit: Punctuation
@@aofrog all my bots whited out when it happened. they do not detect colour they use the code to identify existing pixel colour which was changed to trick the bots into placing white. glad i could help explain lol. but im not accusing the community as a whole eh, some people in the community were probably botting heavily.
the thing is, osu! had a pretty solid gameplan overall. No invasions, no crazy shit, they didn't have the numbers to support that, but they held their ground with what numbers they had.
Gd player, yes we did
Very efficient from start to finish. Very little wasted tiles compared to Canada and other mega projects.
they click circles for their whole lifes
putting pixels is everyday thing for them
The only invasions that were done were on behalf of our allies. We did get to take part in a few, but they weren't initiated "by osu!", so noone will mention us there. Invasions are part of the fun :p
@@Mith07 I love how some communities were creative with the invasions, r/starwars would warn us about Death Star attacks so we can rebuild, the objective was to look cool on the timelapse.
osu bases: literally the most contested place on the map
also osu players: being batshit crazy, willing to click circles until 5am
osu players: defending hololive community due to common degeneracy
Mann, I literally have some of my top plays set at 4am...
one of my top play was set at 4am
I remember getting an osu! medal because of fcing a difficulty on EOS and thought it was because it was a score I achieved at 5am lol
"the osu logo turned white instantly therefore they are obviously botting"
Meanwhile, the french streamer with 400k people watching and griefing the osu logo with white pixel.
The exact same thing happened to the french flag. People accused us of botting even though we were under attack for multiple hours now. Anyways, I don't see how white pixels are proof of botting.
I think them turning white is proof that people were botting against OSU. Although, the question is how could you defend against bots before unless you were botting?
@@MrMinecraftGamer456 no?
By the way, French streamers griefed the osu! logo at the end because it was the most visible thing they could see for them to write the letters "FR" with their communities. It was a really funny and beautiful moment tho !
@@speedweed6203In fact, white pixels are not proof of botting, but France got caught many times with bots simply because if you changed a pixel on the French flag, it was almost certainly going to be fixed by an account with no activity that was created during the event or a few days before. That's proof of botting, Osu generally didn't have accounts like that.
The fact that they:
- Defended Hololive, that didnt even allied to them
- Defended Pixlspace
- Somehow defended Turkey as well
- Got into a pixel war with xQc's Community
- Saved Star Wars towards the end
*All while their own circle is being Torn apart and nearly turned into second The Void. AND REBUILD OTHER'S PIXEL TOO!!*
r/Osu just prove to the Reddit space
*We aint fucking around*
*r/osugame
*r/osuplace
r/osuplace truly deserved the title of The NATO of r/place lol.
Of course they defended Hololive. It’s like 1/3 of the reason it’s still alive
imagine attacking the player who dictate his/her life to tap circle.
You got some order of stuff wrong and things missing from the day of xQc's canvas invasion. Here's what happened:
- Mizkiff was scared of osu, because of how poorly he ended up after messing with osu; he tells xQc to not mess with osu
- xQc attacks Turks
- he starts building tentacles to ruin the canvas
- attacks Hololive, which was defended by osu, despite not being an official ally at that point in time yet
- goes past osu cookie, unaware that he stomped pxls space, osu's ally
- decides to settle with a Twitch logo on pxls space land
- osu helps them get their land back
- xQc in response attacks osu
- he gets confused, and thinks it was actually Turkey attacking him, leaves osu and attacks turkey
- osu recovers
- xQc decides to build his logo over peppy, unaware it's osu's land
- osu tries to defend peppy
- xQc at some point finds out osu defended Hololive as well
- BTMC vs xQc negotiations happen
- xQc, because of wherever he goes osu defends it, assumes osu either claims a huge part of the canvas or is allied with it
- negotiations fail, xQc attacks osu cookie
- some more negotiations happen, in the meantime osu rebuilds the cookie, also puts a clown nose on xQc's logo
- xQc ends up leaving osu alone under the condition osu doesn't attack him and stops with the clown nose, also moves his logo to the blue corner
- peppy is rebuilt
From this point I didn't participate, so less details here:
- some more purple tentacles happened
- xQc covered Star Wars (another osu ally) with his logo, someone gives it a clown nose, he writes xQcL over the osu cookie
- Star Wars and osu cookie recover
thanks for pointing out the details. I wanted to be concise and straight to the point, so I didn't feel the need to include every small detail, but I definitely could have fit a few more pieces into the puzzle. I wasn't able to be 100% present during the xQc incident, so I was using what I knew and looking through VoD footage to see how it went down. Thanks for the comment :)
@@aapolars pin this comment
Im pretty sure despite osu not being allies with R/hololive officially.
Most r/hololive or Hololive fans have a lot of osu players. Or osu players who literally just loves hololive music. So no wonder they will defened hololive.
Which is beautiful in itself. ✊
you got one point wrong. when xqc built his twitch logo near the osu logo, btmc told us to build a rainbow underneath xqc's twitch logo using the script. xqc thought we were botting because of the precision of the tile placement, then he raided us.
@@fairisu only weaks use bot osu players just have good accuracy
I genuinely like how a huge part of the internet that saw this couldn't comprehend the idea that these people were so dedicated to hold it lmfao this was some of the greatest form of entertainment in a while
yeah, same thing happened with France. although we had really big numbers and i guess the english community on Twitch couldn't understand that
to me Canada has become my daily dose of entertainment, I mean Bananas
If you look at Teo game. One of his friends declined to play worms for 10k, and for charity. But when it came to a single pixel for amongus dick he folded saying he'll play if he helps defend the amongus dick
osu no life moment
The osu! Community was so strong only because of eman and BTMC's coordination, if it wasn't for them, we probably wouldn't be able to survive.
the roll call was just insane even on the first day
not only that, the diplomat things going in and out just crazy to think
Don't forget we also had a bunch of allies. We protected our allies so much that it was the reason we had a war with XQC because he unknowingly attacked our allies but I'd say it was worth having so many allies in the end
Plus the alliances from other communities helped osu defend too
Dont forget about all the allies our diplomats got in contact with
Facts
We might have our disagreements, we might not be the largest in size, and we might have our shortcomings, but if we are united for one cause, we are one of the strongest communities to exist. Great video man!

tbh i would not say the community is "small", its more of a medium-large size
ape together strong
the moment Ed called out xqc for not being able to destroy us is definitely going down as one of the funniest/sickest moment ever
Xqc's ADHD brain got bored. He moved on. If he wanted his community to hard focus OSU they never would have gotten the logo back
@@HoloTWWOriginal literally not a single thing he built stayed wdym

@@HoloTWWOriginal ha! Wait you're not joking are you...
@@LazyK808That was the plan the plan is just defending until they got bored
Yeah, we just proved that most of the communities targeting us and accusing us of botting were probably just jealous that such a small community was capable to be this united. Some communities failed because they were disagreeing between each other but we stayed strong and united. So yeah, GG to all, even the sore losers.
We kicked a kid.
Pretty sure osu cummunity ain't that small considering the r/place osu discord (which got created when r/place got there) had over 10k members in 1 week or less
@@megalovania_lol 10.000 can be considered small when compared to other communities. France had like 500.000, spain as well, even the racist streamer who wiped out Romania had 10.000 people (later 15.000)
I think 10.000 is around average, since there were a lot of smaller communities with less members, some even just being 20-30 people, but without crunching the exact numbers it’s hard to compare manpower accurately.
@@joao34386 Yea you are right, but my point is that was only the discord related to r/place, osu community got over 100k players if not even more.
Does someone have th link to the discord?
It's been a pleasure working with you. Thank you for lending your pixels to the Galactic Order.
Sincerely, Star Wars
They really learned from 2017. It's easier for a small community to have many allies to defend each other.

@@100xstacks9 hiota!
For the bot argument, I'll be repeating someone elses argument on the r/place reddit. If there were bots maintaining the osu logo (which there were likely more on peppy being that he's harder to maintain seeing as people can help with the osu circle w/o overlay) then any bots over said osu logo would have two jobs: 1. Find pixels of the wrong color 2. Replace said pixel with the right color. I think most of us can agree that this would be the simplest way to pseudocode a bot, and most other ways would be a waste of time to code or cpu. So therefore, when reddit changed their code to only accept white pixels, bots would see the white on the canvas on the pink circle then say "hey this pixel is wrong lemme fix it rq" and try to place a white pixel over the already white pixel (or essentially the bot does nothing) which would mean that even if the osu community was 100% bots the destruction of osu would not have gone any faster than if there were no bots (also most bots would have crashed seeing that they couldn't find the colors that they wanted in the ui, there's more information about this in r/osuplace
No the simplest way to code it would be to have the accounts automatically place a certain color every 5 to 20 minute time intervals (depending on whether or not they took the time to get the accounts placing them verified or not). Coding them to look for or detect different colors and then react would be harder
@@HoloTWWOriginal but then you are using way more bots than u actually need, especially over a multi thousand pixel logo
@@HoloTWWOriginal saying the osu community botted is very stupid when a french streamer literally led his community to white out the osu logo at it's last moments.
@@meepilee7991 it's actually more efficient in the long run to do it that way. Initial large investment nets little investment later. Generating thousands of accounts doesn't even take all that long TBH. Maybe a day if you have a good account creator bot. Given that there was a little window of warning before things started it's not surprising. But I'm sure most people just manually created the majority of bot accounts.
@@HoloTWWOriginal in what way is it efficient in the long run? It's not like someone coding bots to react would just create a new bot every single time there's a new pixel
Also now that you seem to be implying that the reason that the osu logo died so fast was because of these bots, so if that was the case why did the peppy logo and wysi meme last so long? If anything especially the peppy logo would need more bots than a simple pink circle
btmc arguing with xqc will forever go down in history as one of the funniest streamer reactions i've ever seen (i normally hate big streamers like those two)
to put btmc in the same category as xqc in terms of size is, pushing it, to say the least. biggest osu streamer isnt the same as big streamer.
@@justajamer6824 Yeah lol
btmc has more of a personal feel to his chat. He actually responds if you ask him a question for example.. that would never happen in xqc's chat. Not the same at all rly
@@Spyziy I used to watch xqc for like a couple of months, he was very entertaining (for his lack of brain cells) but man the chat is cancer.
I really didn't like xqc's personality at times too.
I mainly watch btmc now. He's entertaining in every way and the chat is cool.
@@rudyranger249 Yeah I know what you meaned. I've seen some of his clips and they're really funny but as a person he seems kinda annoying.
also chats like that are always cancer if they have to many viewers theres no point in reading the chat it's just to much spam..
Yeah Ed and xQc are not even close to the same size and the streams feel completely different. Ed is a medium sized streamer and the streams are pretty calm usually. xQc is one of, if not the biggest streamer on the platform and has a community which is known for being toxic. Ed's stream feels a lot more chill and if you say something funny or interesting there's a good chance Ed and chat will react to it whilst xQc's chat is just a bunch of drones.
Did I waste 4 days of my life? Yes. Do I regret it? Not at all!
Yeah it was really fun being part of this so I also have no regrets.
dude same
I'm glad many people having fun with how thing going on irl hope many people can have this many fun

o7 I love this cursed community o7
Just some details about the third, fourth day and the white ending (around the frenchies):
- Most of the heat and focus of attacks on the last two days were directed at the oversized french flag which may explain why the OSU logo took less hits
- At the end the french streamers quickly realized that everything was going to turn white and with the focus of spanish and american streamers their flag was one of the first thing to diseappear.
So they decided to write "France" in white as their last feat and used the OSU logo as a landmark to construct it (it eventually turned into "Free" instead of the "Fra" or the "Fail" the american streamers tried to make as well)
(I downloaded and looked at the script the french used as they were accused of botting and I was surprised to see it was just an overlay.
And most of all, they credited the overlay OSU used for the event as they apparently used the same code for their)
Overall the event was incredible to follow.
All the communities building together and interacting with each other was stunning.
everyone used the osu script
Some things you got wrong.
1. The Spanish and American streamers didn't fully realize what was happening until probably around a minute after the white out started. At which point the then hard focused the french flag. By that point it was already around 50% gone.
2. The white "France" never made it to "free* it went from " FRA" to " FAIL" and then immediately to "ERAI " because the Americans decided to just stop it with turning F to E.
As a french viewer, I'm deeply apologize for griefed the Osu logo at the end and hope you didn't get too mad for this.
We knew that r/place will be whited anyway, so to proof that french viewer weren't bots, we decided to write "FR" in white.
And since your big and handsome Osu logo was easy to locate, we chose your spot to begin the F.
It was, at least from what I followed, nothing personal.
For the boting accusations, we know that Osu didn't use bot. Or at least not a lot, as people said. Lots of analysis proof this fact.
Another hand, lots of proof show that Hispanics and US people used a bot, plus lots of them were banned for it.
You fought and defended well and did a great and beautiful logos, we love it.
Hope you, as us, did enjoy your time during this r/place.
Sorry for my poor english.
Your English is fine! Some punctuation errors, but honestly most English speakers don’t even care for that lmao.
Hi! I’m the one who designed/rendered the dithered and pixelated peppy and WYSI!
I actually wasn’t awake when a lot of the attacks happened, including the xQc ones, so thanks for the recap!
I’m proud of everyone’s hard work! Keep on clicking those circles everyone :)
o7 legend
thank you
o7 mate.
tldr: the people who genuinely believe the osu logo was whited out because we supposedly botted are braindead. bots would have just changed all incorrect pixels (from before the white out) to white and stopped at that.
can we talk about how stupid the idea that the osu logo was whited out so quick was because we had bots is. like, it would imply that the bots we were supposedly using would overwrite pixels that are already correct (which makes no sense) cause thats the only way they would white out our own logo. if bots were actually being used they would only place on incorrect spaces (pixels that dont match the overlay) and would either try to correct already incorrect pixels or the white pixels that other bots would have put over incorrect pixels. once all incorrect pixels were whited over, bots would just continue trying to fix the same spots, not destroy the logo. the quick destruction of the osu logo is proof of how much of a target the logo was (same with the french flag)
sry for writing a whole paragraph but it made me really mad when people started saying the quick whiteout of the osu logo was because of bots we were supposedly using like it was an obvious fact.
completely agree, that argument makes no sense
we were one of the most targeted places on the canvas, and only could defend because our community was very dedicated. when you take away the power to fix the errors, of course we'll be wiped out quick.
They thought that bot would spam the same pixel with the correct color, like dude it doesnt work like that.
Plus if we used bots then all of our other art would've gotten whited out just as fast but it didn't especially the WYSI art and this is because it didn't pop out as much as the logo and people didn't even know it was related to osu!
Honestly didn't even think of this, good point
@@You-lt9vf yeah this was also something i thought at the time but forgot to include in original comment, literally only the osu logo got whited out quickly, WYSI was one of the last recognizable things on the canvas
As someone from the Hololive Community, it was fun defending and building with you guys! You guys deserve having a spot on the taskbar
Same to you guys, it was nothing anyway. Most of the osu people were fandeads and and such anyway. We were basically the same community lol
Back at ya my guy

I can't even be mad about it honestly. It makes good content for everyone (xQc, Mizkif, BTMC etc) and I think it made things more interesting. Main thing that annoys me is all the people who think we were botting. Like no, we are just strangely dedicated to pointless shit.

Thanks for covering this topic, hope the people who accused us of botting see this because theres just clear evidence we were more coordinated than one of the biggest streamers in the world.
Beware of the wall of text(My own side of the story and opinions):
Clarification: osu did have bots indeed, just like almost every other community. The bots that people were using on osu were only good for repairing the small details and not large scale wars. Which is why they didn't help all that much.
Information regarding bots and the situation around them for those who are interested:
I looked into the code of many bots that were created, plus ran a few myself to test them making my own art around the canvas(had 100 accounts with each one having a unique IP; [This only takes 10 mins to do, so you can imagine how easy it is to have 1000+ accounts running).
The Websockets and API used to place pixels changed. I can confirm that as my bot also ended up 'breaking'.
(And no I never destoryed nor protected osu with a bot, only on an empty places)
By default the bots repair and place the top left pixels of a build first then scan, row by row unless specified a certain row to check from the start. (Which is also why you can see heavy activity on there on heatmaps)
PSA: The 'Public' bots were trash. In no way could you run 200 acounts, let alone 1000+ accounts using them efficiently on singlethread.
The only way some people could bot efficiently was if they created their own from scratch. (Sure it's not hard, time was the main issue.) The main bot everyone used had 3 main problems that prevented it from being efficient.
1. It wasn't multithreaded, it could only place one pixel at a time.
2. Most of the time you'd end up with 3 accounts placing onto the same pixel at the same time due to no "work queue" this wasted a lot of time and effort.
3. Most bots didn't cache the image used. So it checked each individul pixel including transparent ones one at a time to see if any pixel is the wrong color. Then the next account would do the exact same thing increasing the time it takes to place each pixel.
I have no doubt that there are private bots that some people made that were amazing, shame I didn't get access to those. Then there's the whole other subject on the botnet tampermoney scripts people had that entire communities were using that had placed pixels automatically based on commands given from the 'control center'/'leader'.
"osu turning white instantly because of streamer"
That was incorrect, it was already half white before they called it out and started raiding it.
We can just assume this is because osu was the very first pieces of art to be built on the canvas and stay there.
Maybe because it survived many attacks so people just wanted to get rid of it once and for all.
It's possible that a massive group of people targeted osu before the french but we didn't know who and no one owned up to it. If they did then we missed it.
All in all Hasan is an idiot for instantly spreading misinformation to all people watching the streams without knowing anything at all.
(He was the one who originally said that the bots were placing white and that it's proof that france and osu were botting.)
Everyone had botters no one could control that, people just seemed to forget that and push everything onto osu and France placing them in the limelight.
In the end all we need is the pure data from Reddit to find how much of it was truely botted that we don't know of, we could also check the accounts for which community targeted osu when we do get it.
The truth will come out in the end.
Bad publicity is still publicity. I am glad osu is in the limelight even if it's for the wrong reasons. More people will now know of its existence maybe even try it.
Oh and one other thing. I really gotta shout out the Dutch/PlaceNL for the amazing script they made for tampermonkey. They even got away with it because of the focus on osu and France in the end. Heck, even their subreddit openly talks about the usage of it with pride. It's a bloody open secret.
They created the autoplace script that most other communities used(Including the r/PlaceFrance)
No need to create your own accounts and hide them behind a different IPs if you can use an entire community of 4000 accounts running it instead.
@@xen9936 interesting stuff :D commenting so more could see this
A more balanced view with actual technical expertise.
Though I would say that, no it's not for the "wrong reasons" personally. While some in the community might've taken it in their hands, it was never really encouraged.
It's mostly everyone's bias that they hate a particular community for being able to represent themselves because they believe it's not possible.
they didn't said to grief against osu but used it as reference to start the letter just at the top of osu for writing "FR" which is not the same thing
> By default the bots repair and place the top left pixels of a build first then scan, row by row
I have to disagree with that. I remember that the "vegan" script gathered all of the pixel differences and then picked a random one.
Similarly, the possibly most popular bot script uses one thread per account.
Granted, that's pretty inefficient resource management, plus it's python, so I'm not sure if they have taken steps to support "real" multi-threading.
just a bit to add, when everything was turning white, there was a pretty good attempt to write osu in white, it ended up being disbanded, and then btmc and co decided to make a 727 wysi text in a specific area, being one of the last recognizable things on the canvas of white
I wonder is deadrote and the other guys who made the original chrome extension that was modified and used by basically every community building art will get the credit they deserve. without them r/place would have been completely different for literally everyone
do they have any social links you could give me by chance? I'm more than willing to credit them in the description for doing that, it was a huge help.
Sad how totalbiscuit still ended up mega scuffed lul
I’m here apart of the osu community. We are on the smaller side, but we will fight to hold our position. We always defend and helped some other small communities, I’m so glad to see that we are getting some attention. No matter what you try to do to us, we would come back stronger and better
People really thought they could take over a spot protected by gamers who are happy to try the same song over 100 times for a good score. Rarely have I heard of greater folly.
I did help Osu logo a little bit with 3-5 pixel cuz I'm busy irl...
I'm so glad that in the end, we osu community manage to get Osu Lazer version on view, it's beautiful, we may be small community but we're all have big endurance to clicking circles for hundreds and hundreds of hours in our life
getting called as botting is the biggest complishment instead of being called as a hacker in games
Sorry from the French community. We were having similar problem as osu. Because of our giant flag, a bunch of Hispanic and American streamers were targeting us. At the end our flag got instantly nuked white. So we tried drawing a giant white FRA as a last hurrah, but Kameto the French leading streamer used OSU logo as a reference to start drawing the bottom of the F. Your logo was perfect because of how easy it was to spot it. Unfortunately, XQC, Mizkif and the Hispanic streamers spotted the FRA and changed it to FREE.
Sorry again but you guys showed your dedication and spirit till the end.
My favorite part of this was the last few moments where everyone in th osu community wrote WYSI 727 in white
While not being apart of the osu community directly I remember closely watching over it because of the alliance with the r/Komi community and was really happy to see both communities come together
The thing that was upsetting about the event this time around is apparently xqc had his stream try to replace the french flag with a big ass (like there were a lot of asses on the canvas at this point) and the Reddit mods responded by permabanning anyone who put a pixel down in that area, without any warning, and regardless of streamer association or whether or not they were building the ass. So tens of thousands of users just got permenently banned for no good reason from participating in the canvas. A lot of french users too who were just trying to put their flag back, and any user who put a pixel down close enough to the butt to get hit by the purge. Unfortunately I was hit in the fray just as an osu! member putting down pixels where needed.
I don't really use reddit, but it's this kind of reaction where I see how Reddit mods get their bad steryotypes. Just no concern for the community in a poorly executed effort to get rid of a participating streamer, without warning either. r/place was fun, but I don't know how I feel about participating in another one if they do it again. May not have a choice anyways if my permaban timer is still ticking by next event.
The mods are also said to be abusing their power too. So bad.
osu players when
osu players when they stay 65 hours awake makn a lil pink circle with pixels while managing to minimally surprise a little portion of reddit place spectators (15 people) who were already aware of how much free time the entire fanbase has on their hands
just wanted to clearify something, french streamers didnt attacked osu logo, they just wanted to write "FRA" meaning "france" to show that they are not botting cause many spanish and american stream were saying that french community were botting
Despite me not interacting with the osu! community since around 2010 or so. I still feel pride in all that is accomplished by you folks over the years.
this year i saw super small communities make some nice little builds, i saw a Katawa Shoujo build and im still shocked. 10 years old and people still have that game in there minds, dedicated communities, awesome event.
Great vid. Watched it all the way through and it has great production quality and you are going places If you keep making these type of videos :D
going "places". hehe
people don’t realise, a powerful community does not mean a big one, a small loyal community (what the osu community is) can be just as powerful if not more powerful than a big community, I’m so happy to be apart of such an amazing community.
Foxhole destroying WSB
Same here!
Kind of unfortunate that you didn't mention that our community also managed to draw stuff even with just white pixels on the right side.
Wrote wysi and 727 inside of a square with the limited time on our hands, which was actually pretty visible too.
Sweet video!
I had so much fun doing this, both in 2017 and in 2022.
So proud to have led this community!
Thank you so much for making this thing possible, our entire community appreciates it. Already excited for next time :)
My favourite part was when some group of people (presumably a streamer's viewers) made a horizontal line of green pixels through the Star Wars poster before raiding the Osu logo, making it look like the Death Star fired at it in timelapses
actually i think it was planned by the star wars community and the osu community to have the death star shoot the osu logo
im so suprised how the osu! community managed to occupy such a noticeable and large place in the canvas, despite how small the community is compared to other ones, without btmcs coordination tbh i think we wouldnt have lasted the whole thing.
When your community is so organized and so good at what they did that detractors they accuse you of using bots, that would be a complement xD.
That’s what happened with us in the Technoblade community, we were all just in a discord server (it’s still up and now has a Minecraft server!) having the time of our lives
As a guy who worked on the start menu button, I'm impressed with you guys teamwork.
Even i can't play osu!, except mania ones
Of course we're crazy. We play harumachi clover all night long baby
Yeah I've seen people with 2k plays on harumachi clover. Placing a pixel every 5 mins is nothing.
It's like training lol
this video is so amazing, thank you
being a former osu player, i always knew osu has a really strong community. i feel bad i can't be there to help but i feel so proud seeing osu on r/place being the coolest
For a video focusing on the Osu! circle logo.. it seems very ironic to have a game skin with SQUARE notes 😂
Not much to say because i was a part of if all, but it was a great summary. I loved the gameplay in the background as well.
I won’t lie I don’t even play osu but damm I respect that community for keeping the logo on and fixing it every time. They’re really determined 👍🏼
That was the most fun event I've ever experienced, and will be waiting 5 years for the next one. See you next time!
Unfortunately I missed out on the event due to other commitments. Which did leave me full of regret. But just watching this video alone made me feel warm inside, the teamwork and resolve the Osu! Community has is astonishing and I say that with great respect and emphasis. I’m glad to be part of this community. Thanks so much for the video mate. I enjoyed the content
participating on even placing only not too many pixel, really makes me truly happy that i can participate in this event, and its genuinely funny that the moment that I turned on my computer on the second day and watched BTMC's stream for a bit, the xqc vs btmc negotiation happened lol
click circles ❌
click squares ✅
This was one of the most fun times I've had interacting with the community and many others. It was truly a blessing to have been a part of this.
Honestly this was a fun 4 day ride to participate in.
Despite all the people taking this r/place thing just a tad bit too serious, it was all so heartwarming to see. I loved it so much and the artwork that came out of it in the end is absolutely phenominal! I can't wait to see next year's edition
i think it was all for fun even the people taking it seriously was probably just memeing
I love how they just turned the Philippines flag sideways because the osu! logo covered it
Hello.
I'm from r/mysterydungeon (represented by the little white and red egg with wings right under osu) and I can probably speak for our entire community that we are grateful for the protection granted to us during that time.
Thank you and happy exploring.

Don't mess with osu, their entire gameplay loop is based around clicking circles for hours.
It was good being your neighbors. Our group was behind all of the Miku's scattered around the canvas.
We may look fragile but we are together as one.
Never seen grass before
Well they spent 80% of their live clicking things... You should expect that kind of power..
One voice united
We make the choices
One change divided
We make it united
No one gets left behind...
we kicked a kid
I love you for putting the beatmaps in the description
I didn't know that this is present-day alive! I remember hearing about r/place years ago. So happy to hear it's still a thing!
Shoutout to the osu! Logo Builders staff and especially to emanfman and BTMC for their insane dedication!!!
Dont forget, we had a lot of alliances, especially with Wallstreetbets, Superstonk, Star Wars amd some smaller ones. This is also a reason why we recovered that fast.
I would say another factor to osu's longevity was due to the fact that it also had a ton of supports and alliances. like when osu was attacked, other anime and vtuber communities also helped out with the logo when they had pixels to spare
I had no idea this happened, damn. Would have been so much fun to participate. Will definitely need to keep my eye out for if an event like this happens again
Very well made, o7
As someone who just enjoyed the various arts, and spent most of my time defending the small shovel knight and niko sprites, both Osu and Foxhole communities have my admiration for completely stonewalling several concentrated attacks spreading across the canvas.
I was right next to osu (GFL community and also helped Omori), was fucking wild seeing the raids over your territory, glad you guys won out in the end. I think it would have been a lot more interesting if they had made it like last time where you couldn't just make a new account the day of and it had to be a week old.
11:32 Osu! was set as the starting point for the "F" letter, because it was already white and thus was an easy pinpoint. It's not a ahte move from the frenchs, it was just the easiest pinpoint on the whole map
Amazing video, but THOSE SQUARE HITCIRCLES THOUGH
Guess they're playing the game right, they're clicking the circle
The osu! community wasn't even the only smaller community to maintain such a large amount of space. I'm sure most people here have seen the post from u/JordiTK about the top 30 pixel counts by community that place osu! at 30th with 21,500 pixels. That's honestly incredible given how many countries were getting top spots from their oversized flags (that I only had a personal problem with if they didn't do anything neat with them, like India before the last few hours). In the comments, Jordi left some extra notes. One of those was 31st going to the Gacha Alliance with 21,000 pixels. I don't have an accurate estimate on the amount of people that were actively doing r/place for osu! but BTMC's stream had more viewers than the Gacha Alliance has as a whole. They used the overlays pioneered by osu! to do their projects and also refused to use bots to do the work. One of the three key defining differences are that the Gacha Alliance was formed during the event after the repeated attacks on the Genshin Impact logo in the top left, while osu! was already unified, naturally. Another was that the osu! community was very open with their projects (after the Genshin Impact logo was abandoned) and attracted more attacks on their turf because of it while the Gacha Alliance opted to have a very large collection of smaller projects scattered around that wouldn't attract invasions and their most recognizable work was the collection of gacha game logos in the bottom left. It wasn't the only large project, with the CN Genshin Impact logo that most people wouldn't recognize, the keqLove emote, and a Gudako being other larger projects that escaped the attention of the masses. The third was that osu! was more coordinated by far because of the streamers on their side at all times. That's not something the Gacha Alliance had. The most help the Gacha Alliance got from influencers was the one time they were being attacked by a Russian streamer named 5opka with his 5k viewers. In that skirmish they held strong for a bit before the lack of numbers made them attempt to get assistance from BTMC and Enviosity, whom both came to their aid and 5opka was pushed back and had to attempt a different location. They never fought off Mizkif or xQc, as a matter of fact, xQc deliberately avoided the Alliance's keqLove on his day 3 voiding, and the intel I was given on why this is would be because "she's cute", but they did manage to hold their ground and slip into the shadows to avoid a community that would have attacked them as much as they attacked osu! if the multiple discouraging posts about the gacha logos says anything, and they did a lot of active negotiations to gain as much space as they did in that bottom left corner. Jordi put their pixel count at 21,000 but because of the methods applied, I'm honestly not even sure if Jordi found all the affiliated projects to count their pixels or was even able to recognize that they were affiliated with the Alliance. It's entirely possible they had more than osu! and I don't mean to discredit anyone with that, both communities did astounding things and nothing can take that away. In the meantime I'm sure Jordi used the final version of the canvas which has a lot of unfinished projects that were started last minute, so when the clean up crew decides what they're restoring it's entirely possible that the Alliance gets back 2 of their larger projects that were bulldozed by Zerkaa in his last minute attempt to make a portrait of KSI (which did not even get close to finished). I'm sure most people will prefer the version the clean up crew provides since it won't have nearly as much random splatters of pixels in certain places. If there is anything that anyone should take from the things these two communities (and honestly the VTuber fans, too given how even large streamers wanted nothing to do with them, and how fast they fixed ANY minorly out of place pixel on their projects) it's that weebs are some of the most determined and dedicated people on the internet when it comes to pixels, and they should not be messed with.
2017 was so different compared to now. You can even see the memes change
hah little did they know this is easier than trying to fc a map
I loved being a rep for r/foxholegame in btmc and osu’s vc chats. I can absolutely say, i enjoyed every second. For the hours i sat in there coordinating foxhole and osu players to help eachother, it was fun. Nice to see osu getting the rep it needed during that time in a vid.
Also felt great to quite literally piss off xQc. Specifically ME. He called Me out, it felt great.
i remember that the attack on the osu! logo happened after the xqc logo on top of ppy
the purple void traveled from turkey, to the UK, to hololive, to peru, to touhou and komi, and then they settled on top of ppy, btm told him to fuck off, and then he attacked the osu logo
i know the whole story because i was collaborating with hololive as well xd
When they dont know osu players are consistent and have a huge stamina
Well, we did what we always do, clicking. And being accused of botting is pretty normal for us since if we have some new famous player we keep accusing them of botting/cheating.
Great video mate! Really enjoyed it
the OSU! community is stronger than any streamers
I was waiting for a video like this i dont know why
You forgot xqc attacking osu again together with star wars
The star wars staged attack using the death star
The void mother and osu collab to recreate the scene when you miss a circle
we thank the osu community for accepting and protecting our Komi san right above!
Np man
Having our logo pretty close to osu was pretty fun. Always had a view of what was going on.
It did mean that we were caught in the cross fire every now and then (I was part of the rust community, just above osu. That's Rust the programming language, not the game), but we had a powerful ally ourselves in Foxhole.
Those guys were absolutely insane. Much smaller community than osu, but the amount of area they held and helped defend was just surreal. I guess it helps that Foxhole as a game actually has some similarities to place.
As an osu player myself, I did advocate for diplomatic relations with osu and we did eventually get a communication channel open. For the most part, we were pretty capable of defending ourselves, though.
(Well... apart from the bots near the end. It was confirmed in Reddit DMs that it was indeed bots, but they never told us what their problem with us was...)
i literally clicked into the canvas right when it opened and the circle outline was already there. i respect the grind.
o7 from pxls!
edit; yea its quite unfortunate that osu was accused so hard, especially when rules exist in the first place, regardless of that though thanks for helping the pxls space community come to be! o7 o7 o7
emanfman is daddy
yes.
EmanFman best diplomat!!
😳
I was watching BTMC sporadically and it was insane... it was like warfare and the coordinated and strategic attacks and defending was so fun to watch.
