As someone with Lebanese heritage, Lebanon maintained a little flag for the duration of r/place from the very first hour. Located at (10, 452) which is also the country's area 10,452 km² I thought that was pretty neat.
I feel like, r/place is a representation of how our society came to be, from an unorganized mess, to small groups forming, to groups making alliances and then going to war to protect their territory from outsiders. I myself was part of the r/Arknights community which had a total of 3 territories that we defended with every inch of our pixels (981x117, 1149x103, 1648x1733) and we eventually formed an alliance with all Gacha games (United Place Gacha Alliance), Tetris, VRChat and a small Poland flag and helped eachother to defend our artworks until the very end.

Was part of the osu! community, our admins were super organized, we were assigned pixels, and we defended hard for 4 days whilst forming alliances with smaller communities.
Osu friking created a NATO equivalent alliance with a lot of weeb communities, Legend of Zelda and Statwars and even the Windows Taskbar If it wasnt for the alliance we wouldnt be able to repel the streamer raids
Also spent my weekend glued to that discord and placing my pixels for osu! and our alliances. Being allied with so many other communities and working together was such an incredibly emotional experience to feel a part of so many other wonderful people for a common goal. Sure it was just pixels, but it was what those pixels meant combined that really spoke something.
all i remember is that the french flag was too big but when they agreed to leave the part of azbullah, spain and the americans continued to attack and ultimately destroy without ever building anything. the french defended their ground in addition to the pixel art of one pieces, OSU, reckfull, etc. which were incredible. it lacked irish but it was cool
Sitting in the r/osuplace discord during the xQc raids felt like a warroom with generals giving out orders. It was honestly one of the most fun experiences I've ever had.
Charlie made a great point about people hating on XQC for his shenanigans. He gave those communities a story to tell. How they banded together to fight off the "villain". And tbh, he made it fun. Seeing his void take over places only to be taken back over made for great time lapses. Proud to say I also helped Charlie claim his M0ist Esports spot for the duration of when he first got it. The whole thing was a blast. Glad I was able to be apart of it.
I think what some people wanted to see even greater pieces of art, like how star wars got really big it looked cool af but xqc was stunting that, no reason to get angry at him though, its all for fun guys!
saying France uses bots is literally the best compliment you can give, the organisation was so good that people unironically thought France was using bots lol. And yes, Reddit is kinda unknown in France not a lot of French uses it which can explain why so many new accounts were created hahaha i even made an account for this event, was really fun! so many good art was made by everyone it was amazing :D
personally xqc was a good villain and even when he claimed stuff it was taken back and more art was made on top of it, xqc has received so much hate when honestly he made r/place a lot more memorable.
Tbh, XQc isn't the "real" villain. There are tons of villains out there. The Void, the amogus, the Dalibans, the Bronies, and the French. Everybody in one way or another is a villain to another's story. It's just that so many more communities have been hit with XQC, that's why the majority don't like him. But I swear to God, there are much smaller communities that have been terrorized by other bigger factions too.
@@MrArgy333 French used a script that only told people what color they had to use but still required manual action, but I’ve seen numerous tweets saying that the Spanish streamers actually did use and promote a bot that placed tiles without any manual action.

@@hayateww3949 The French flag was definetly using bots. Why do you think the French flag was the first one to go? Because the bots couldn't chose another color so they deleted it themselves.
@@vladzf9655 we had a grand total of 500k viewers (maybe even more I didn’t check) people just tried to keep the flag and everything alive without realizing you only could place white tiles
As a french speaker (and somebody who took part in the war) I can assure everybody that nobody was botting on the french side. We were using a Chrome extension to see an overlay to know which color went where.
That was a really fun event. Seeing some Spanish streamers crying about French using bots when there's absolutely no proof of it was hilarious. If we add the fact French showed how their overlay worked to Ibai, and he answered with "it's fine by me, it's not a bot", it makes it even more hilarious. But is still made accusation of cheating after all, and he himself used a bot and promoted it on his stream, so shamefull. The French streaming community is holding so much events that other communities not used to doing it can't keep up with a well organised group. There were no cheating, French streaming community just dedicated their heart to the cause.
It was interesting seeing my community of Hololive allying with Germany and Belgium, it was kinda bizzarre that a community of just anime weebs and simps got to ally 2 big countries, that also helped us survive and fight against one of the first XQC attacks, also how we all defende agaousn the big red among us dick that apeared on the canvas, it was somethig amazing those 4 days were super fun, and i hope it returns.
Definitely the biggest peak r/Hololive has ever reached Allied with not one, but TWO country Oh, and don't forget the intervention of r/Osuplace as well This is a coalition we never saw coming
I was helping MCDM (dnd channel) who ended up allying with the Green Bay Packers. We spent most of our pixels defending them from the Vikings, hilariously.
The Outer Wilds animated timeloop in there was honestly the coolest most creative thing in my opinion, definitely worth looking up if you're an Outer Wilds fan or just curious
Just to clarify: the French were NOT using bots. They were using an overlay to help people place the right color in the right pixel to help draw nicely.
France against the world, we were so organized that people thought we had bots, what we did is creating waves and called them by the seasons names, spring, summer, fall, and winter that's how we defended so many attackers
I love the fact that your media talk about the french bots accusations (where france never used bot) But nobody talks about Spain using bots where we saw in live Rubius and Ibai use their automatic pixels script and some of spanish getting banned France did won the war They did build art, in final Spain did build nothing If you want to talk about countries please get more informed (and yes nobody was using reddit before in france so we all got new account)
You didnt mess up only with Spanish art, but also Latin American art, not like a Euro colonialist boy would know what or where Latin America is anyways So, in dumb boy terms, the pixelation wasnt only from a single country but like half a continent lmao plus France did actually use bots so idk wtf youre on
I can't believe how people still not understand how 1M pixels at your disposal doesn't mean you'r going to instantly win especially while you guys can actually go watch the streams of the french and see their POV ... I encourage people to search for themselves nowadays there are subtitles you can check the french streams to understand what happend.
People really thought the white tiles help finding out who was botting but the case of France was that they were attacked in mass and couldn't defend (because had only white tiles), that's why it became white so fast.
don't bother, theyre too dumb, Ibai didn't even verify his account so he had to wait 20 minutes to place a tile. As a french streamer said "he is dumb as a brick"
@@giancarlo9866 I just wonder what you possibly think of french people ? That 600k french are lying when they say they are not botting ? Aren't you being a flat earther ?
To anyone wondering if French people used bots : no. I was part of the thing and truth is one of us quickly developped a chrome extension to place an overlay over the canvas indicating to every single person where to place pixels. It was NOT anything near bots or automatization of some sort. As to why so many account were new It's because many people joined reddit for the occasion. On Kameto's stream, we reached 408,707 viewers. Nothing broke french twitter as much as this or brought us together as much since 2018 Football Worldcup. I am strongly against cheating in general and would have told if any suspicious script was used by the community to my knowledge. I still want to congratulate the spanish reddit community for having built in peace their own flag and stuff, but really despise their twitch community that crossed the line many time and just made it personal.
And the ironic part is that the spanish streamers actually ended up using a bot for the BTS logo, you can even see on the heatmap how completely red it is compared to the rest.
Tbh, I personally think it would be cooler if it happened every year. I missed out on this because of college (in other words, no time to keep defending any territory) and it kinda sucks that I'll be 23 the next time this happens :/ Plus, it'll be a pretty cool archival of internet trends and communities along the years!
i love that as a runescape player, us nerds have back 2 back owned the top left corner. we have botting at a crazy rate. we have people who are pixel perfect every .6 seconds, we have dudes who just have played the game for 20 years, since children, and love it and we still put “connection lost” on the top left. it’s hilarious social commentary to me, and it’s hilarious that it’s a few hundred pixels and every few hundred have their own story.
Okay, the accusation of french Bots, and the arguments made for it specifically, is ridiculous. Time to debunk the main ones: "It was impossible for France to defend against the Spanish and Americans whose numbers are way superior": Well the thing is, 200k people attacking all at once specific parts of a banner of 120k pixels, is surpringly not very effective. The French had an hell of an organization and cohesion between streamers and communities; by splitting the task force between the 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter), so they always had a reserve of pixels for defending immediately if necessary, and with the use of an Overlay, a visual aid which allows to see which pixels to place where in order to recreate images and artworks (but still needed to manually place the pixel, so it's not a bot). The French were just better organized, strength in number not always comes out on top in these situations, especially in sieges like here. "France has to have bots, because a lot of the names placing pixels are randomly generated ones": On the contrary of the US and the other countries, France don't really use Reddit as primary social network, they use more Twitter or Discord for exemple, so many of them didn't have a reddit account until the r/place; to repeat what I said earlier, French streamers have a great cohesion between themselves and their communities, so when they call for everyone to take part in it, many followed and created an account just for the occasion using Gmail, and when reddit create a new account, it generates a random name, which the French didn't bother changing. There, problem solved. "If French didn't have Bots, then why their flag disappeared faster than anyone else's creations ?": It's even simpler, at the time of the end of the r/place, the French flag was in constant attacks by the Spanish and US communities, so when reddit changed the color of pixel to only white, the French couldn't defend anymore and quickly realized that that was the end of r/place; meanwhile, the US and the Spanish communities thought that was only a glitch, and jumped on the occasion to obliterate the French flag, only realizing afterwards that this "glitch" wasn't one, but the end of the r/place. There, the force in numbers worked wonders for making the flag disappear in minutes, no need for bots on this one. "But French is using bots, even some streamers admitted it on their live, or others accused them of doing so" All that is well and good, but that's not proof, the clips used as "proof" of that were quickly debunked as a misinterpretation on the translator's part or an outright lie. You can check the streams of the French if you want, but there's 0 indication anywhere on their stream that they used bots, even the story of the script overlay that we talked about earlier. On the other hand, the french have apparently some proof that the Spanish streamers were using bot who's much more substantiated using clips of streamers and screenshots. If you want to accuse the French streamers of botting, provide some actual proofs to go along with your accusation (after verifying that your proof is valid, and not just misinterpretations to use at your advantage of course), otherwise, that's just a statement and not a fact. I'm not saying that anyone in the community didn't use bots; there will always be people who'll use bots, regardless of the community. But during the r/place, the French Streamers never encouraged anyone in their community to bot, and were even against it; and it's not by using the arguments above that you'll be able to prove the contrary.

people love getting mad about germany for ages .. even without any reasons.. when germany was around people drew over the flag -> germany woke up -> did claim their flag back -> people get mad at germany for overpainting :D while ignoring that those people overpainted it the first time. "flag across the whole map" .. the Belgium Flag did count as German Flag by not Europeans. Holland at the top with the same got ignored. people also complained that germany did german art on their german flag .. the Discord was booming with polls about everything. they had alliances with france ( like the france Place guys not the french streaming guys), with belgium, even with some streamers. a Vtuber and Myth both "attacked" germany & at the end they got a part of it. germany did help canada with their leaf and the flag... since everyone attacked their leaf. no one did attack the leaf on the german flag. People said it was mocking canada which is wasnt since it was all planed with canada. huge communities like Holo, F1, Star Wars , Superstonk all had allies with Germany and no problem. there were like 50+ more pictures blanned for the flag but time did run out at the end...
LOL I don't understand how some people can say france botted when you literally have the heatmap that prove that France didn't use bot 7:15 . If it was botted the flacg would be red constantly like the moment spain streamers started to bot over the french flag with the BTS logo.
Dude, I was defending the Indian flag and and artworks from 2 more communities. Denmark flag was right next to ours and people from our community straight up expanded the flag on it, deleting it. They went to the point of half-deleting Lego until some people from our comm with actual sense decided to back track the flag and help rebuild the denmark flag. It was a fun few days haha
As someone who was part of two groups in building things it was such a fun experience. A bit frustrating at some points when people destroyed it, but it was still awesome.
@@bnbmike4731 did you know anything about what french streams do ? In 10years the french streaming community was growing everytime because of french streamers who made a lot of featuring. And with the Zevent, the organisation to raid a streamer evolved. SO no we weren't botting. We were too much organised for them. We all fought with a very good organisation. Go watch the replay of Kameto, Zerator, Domingo etc. And go learn about what french streamers do for the french community.
Damn I remember, only sleeping 3 hours just to help keep the real Eren's face and Floch from being vandalized. The worst 3 days I experienced but completely worth it, cause finally we get to tatake for 10 years atleast.
It's pretty stupid that xqc got death threats. I get that some hold the art closer to the their heart than I do, representation, nationalism, blahblah what have you...but it's just pixels. Like damn, get mad that's fine. But death threats? That's different.
That dumb shit happens for literally anything that becomes large and in any way divisive in nature in the public eye. Sadly... its a common dark side of the streaming world we dont see. The same happens for politicians, and "celebrities" of any sort. Louis Rossmann posted a video recently about the fight for right to repair where a politician shot down the shit over a death threat he got.. Refused to even acknowledge the benefits at all, Flat out refused. Because he felt the right to repair community "deserved" it.... for his death threats... likely sent from some Cheeto dust chested teenager in his moms basement.
Sending death threats in the internet hold as much value as a 7YO telling you you are a poop head. Im not saying that its a right thing to say, or that its a good thing to say, all im saying its that Death Threads on twitter/Facebook/whatever hold ALMOST no value. Similar thing with IPS " i have your IP!" (so what?) On other of ideas, people get really riled up for things they like or hate, like have you seen Twitter any time Japan does anything? (or anyone really?) BUT I am no redditor but at the end of the day i think the huge mayority just had a laught at it.
@@captaineflowchapka5535 Those were the big rectangles, there's also videos of admins placing down individual tiles without cooldown. Idk to what end,, but it definitely happened.
French soldier from winter squad hier! Thank you for not saying that we are bots! it's had to see our hard work tarnished by somes haters. but i think that people dont realise that when our General sayed that he have a whole country to defend he was speaking truth! EVRY big and small french streamer started to stream and protect the flag, i personnaly created a reddit account just to be able to help. Maybe for Spanish and Americans it was just a twitch community fight, but for France, it was our national pride, because they attacked our flag. Btw it was fun, but i'm glad it's over, i needed some time to sleep XD
7:02 well actualy some of the french streamer encouraged peaple to create new account's , but that was targeting the part of the french streaming comunity that didn't had a account alredy created at the time only to my understanding as a frenchman miself , this is why there was a big group of fresh account's defending the country
the thing with "everyone attacked them" is that while it's true, it doesn't make sense that the whole flag turns white in random tiles. if it turned white radially then of course it's because of the coordinated attack (close to perfect Gaussian distribution), but the real reason people noticed you can only put white in the first place is because they saw what was going on in the france territory. i was in xqc/ibai/hasan/rubius/miz stream back then and they noticed the white surge first before asking the viewers to attack. so the conclusion is, it is very likely the area was scripted. Same thing happened with osu but it was wayyy slower so i dont think they were scripting, it probably was the fast attackers
Place is a very good way to simply create an interesting storyline about nothing it’s like the warriors every community has their own territory with their weird graffiti and friends just keeping shit pushing 😂😂

Why do you hate France ? Your streamers kept attacking our arts. We never attacked yours. Your spanish flag (the one from the r/Spain community) was never attacked by french people. You just casually decided to hate on France and ruin our art because of your streamers' ego because yes let's tell the truth : Ibai took it personally and started shittalking about Kammeto's career (I heard a lot of "hijo de puta" on spanish streams).
@@marcy5269 we're proud of our country a lot yes. But it was the Spanish and especially ibai who trashtalked us at the beginning of it.

Thanks for this resume. I happened to randomly access Redditch both during the canvas and wallstreet bets crazy times but never had the time to delve into it.
I know a big part of this was the battles between communities, but can we also speak about how so many just made cool stuff together without fights. All the little hearts in the ukrainian flag. And that in the end we're all one
French here, didn't participate at all in r/place. From what I've heard afterward from Kameto (French streamer leading the defence and the building) the script that was used by French was helping them building, look at the fuckin' Eiffel Tower that they tried to do at first and the arc de triumph they drew after. As for the people saying then why did France went white so fast at the end then, It's because both attacker and defender where placing white pixel, with the ongoing "war" of course it would go white fast. The only thing we learned, is that even though Spanish streamers wanted to go to war with us using the fact that they're the second most viewed language on Twitch to overwhelm us. In the end they still couldn't force us into defeat and thus went to beg for help. Furthermore, most of them were only there for the content, they said to kameto between some negotiation that he should thank them because they were the reason he got so much viewer on his stream at the time. Kameto said after the pixel war ended that he was disappointed in the Spanish streamers because they were focusing too much on the viewership instead of the experience that was r/place. What's important is that French people had fun and that’s what matters the most. And as the tradition goes, sorry for my bad English.

I encourage people to search for themselves nowadays there are subtitles you can check the french streams to understand what happend.
People really thought the white tiles help finding out who was botting
but the case of France was that they were attacked in mass and couldn't defend (because had only white tiles), that's why it became white so fast.
don't bother, theyre too dumb, Ibai didn't even verify his account so he had to wait 20 minutes to place a tile. As a french streamer said "he is dumb as a brick"

When mizkif started "shaking" while pouring that water is the moment i have laughed the hardest this year. The timing just makes it comedy gold to me!
To anyone wondering if French people used bots : no. I was part of the thing and truth is one of us quickly developped a chrome extension to place an overlay over the canvas indicating to every single person where to place pixels. It was NOT anything near bots or automatization of some sort. As to why so many account were new It's because many people joined reddit for the occasion. On Kameto's stream, we reached 408,707 viewers. Nothing broke french twitter as much as this or brought us together as much since 2018 Football Worldcup.
I am strongly against cheating in general and would have told if any suspicious script was used by the community to my knowledge.
I still want to congratulate the spanish reddit community for having built in peace their own flag and stuff, but really despise their twitch community that crossed the line many time and just made it personal.
You can't say "nothing brought us together as much since 2018" when there is a Zevent every year

R/place needs to be an every 2 or 3 year thing. Give some times for communities and events to change
I disagree. r/place should happen every 5 years because it should be special and it better shows how much internet culture has changed
r/place should be every 5 years because I don't think that I'd be able to handle another 4 days of r/place politics for good 2-3 years.
Tbh, I personally think it would be cooler if it happened every year. I missed out on this because of college (in other words, no time to keep defending any territory) and it kinda sucks that I'll be 23 the next time this happens :/

r/Amogus: *Sneaki Breeki, time to Amogus everything*
Okay, the accusation of french Bots, and the arguments made for it specifically, is ridiculous. Time to debunk the main ones:
"It was impossible for France to defend against the Spanish and Americans whose numbers are way superior":
Well the thing is, 200k people attacking all at once specific parts of a banner of 120k pixels, is surpringly not very effective. The French had an hell of an organization and cohesion between streamers and communities; by splitting the task force between the 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter), so they always had a reserve of pixels for defending immediately if necessary, and with the use of an Overlay, a visual aid which allows to see which pixels to place where in order to recreate images and artworks (but still needed to manually place the pixel, so it's not a bot).
The French were just better organized, strength in number not always comes out on top in these situations, especially in sieges like here.
"France has to have bots, because a lot of the names placing pixels are randomly generated ones":
On the contrary of the US and the other countries, France don't really use Reddit as primary social network, they use more Twitter or Discord for exemple, so many of them didn't have a reddit account until the r/place; to repeat what I said earlier, French streamers have a great cohesion between themselves and their communities, so when they call for everyone to take part in it, many followed and created an account just for the occasion using Gmail, and when reddit create a new account, it generates a random name, which the French didn't bother changing. There, problem solved.
"If French didn't have Bots, then why their flag disappeared faster than anyone else's creations ?":
It's even simpler, at the time of the end of the r/place, the French flag was in constant attacks by the Spanish and US communities, so when reddit changed the color of pixel to only white, the French couldn't defend anymore and quickly realized that that was the end of r/place; meanwhile, the US and the Spanish communities thought that was only a glitch, and jumped on the occasion to obliterate the French flag, only realizing afterwards that this "glitch" wasn't one, but the end of the r/place. There, the force in numbers worked wonders for making the flag disappear in minutes, no need for bots on this one.
"But French is using bots, even some streamers admitted it on their live, or others accused them of doing so"
All that is well and good, but that's not proof, the clips used as "proof" of that were quickly debunked as a misinterpretation on the translator's part or an outright lie. You can check the streams of the French if you want, but there's 0 indication anywhere on their stream that they used bots, even the story of the script overlay that we talked about earlier. On the other hand, the french have apparently some proof that the Spanish streamers were using bot who's much more substantiated using clips of streamers and screenshots. If you want to accuse the French streamers of botting, provide some actual proofs to go along with your accusation (after verifying that your proof is valid, and not just misinterpretations to use at your advantage of course), otherwise, that's just a statement and not a fact.
I'm not saying that anyone in the community didn't use bots; there will always be people who'll use bots, regardless of the community. But during the r/place, the French Streamers never encouraged anyone in their community to bot, and were even against it; and it's not by using the arguments above that you'll be able to prove the contrary.
I'm french and I swear to God we were not voting we had section and generals for this we were prepared and ready.

"flag across the whole map" .. the Belgium Flag did count as German Flag by not Europeans. Holland at the top with the same got ignored. people also complained that germany did german art on their german flag .. the Discord was booming with polls about everything. they had alliances with france ( like the france Place guys not the french streaming guys), with belgium, even with some streamers. a Vtuber and Myth both "attacked" germany & at the end they got a part of it. germany did help canada with their leaf and the flag... since everyone attacked their leaf. no one did attack the leaf on the german flag. People said it was mocking canada which is wasnt since it was all planed with canada. huge communities like Holo, F1, Star Wars , Superstonk all had allies with Germany and no problem. there were like 50+ more pictures blanned for the flag but time did run out at the end...

Like damn, get mad that's fine. But death threats? That's different.
That dumb shit happens for literally anything that becomes large and in any way divisive in nature in the public eye. Sadly... its a common dark side of the streaming world we dont see. The same happens for politicians, and "celebrities" of any sort. Louis Rossmann posted a video recently about the fight for right to repair where a politician shot down the shit over a death threat he got.. Refused to even acknowledge the benefits at all, Flat out refused. Because he felt the right to repair community "deserved" it.... for his death threats... likely sent from some Cheeto dust chested teenager in his moms basement.
Some people are idiots, sending death threats to streamers about anything they don't like.
Nationalism is cringe
Sending death threats in the internet hold as much value as a 7YO telling you you are a poop head.
Im not saying that its a right thing to say, or that its a good thing to say, all im saying its that Death Threads on twitter/Facebook/whatever hold ALMOST no value.
Similar thing with IPS " i have your IP!" (so what?)

just to let you know french didnt use bots and the reason grance was wiped first was not because they botted but because everyone attacked them
How do you know they didn't?
the thing with "everyone attacked them" is that while it's true, it doesn't make sense that the whole flag turns white in random tiles. if it turned white radially then of course it's because of the coordinated attack (close to perfect Gaussian distribution), but the real reason people noticed you can only put white in the first place is because they saw what was going on in the france territory. i was in xqc/ibai/hasan/rubius/miz stream back then and they noticed the white surge first before asking the viewers to attack. so the conclusion is, it is very likely the area was scripted. Same thing happened with osu but it was wayyy slower so i dont think they were scripting, it probably was the fast attackers

I think this is the best recap of r/place. I spectated on the sidelines. Really enjoyed it, thanks!
French here, didn't participate at all in r/place. From what I've heard afterward from Kameto (French streamer leading the defence and the building) the script that was used by French was helping them building, look at the fuckin' Eiffel Tower that they tried to do at first and the arc de triumph they drew after. As for the people saying then why did France went white so fast at the end then, It's because both attacker and defender where placing white pixel, with the ongoing "war" of course it would go white fast.
The only thing we learned, is that even though Spanish streamers wanted to go to war with us using the fact that they're the second
most viewed language on Twitch to overwhelm us. In the end they still couldn't force us into defeat and thus went to beg for help.
Furthermore, most of them were only there for the content, they said to kameto between some negotiation that he should thank them because they were the reason he got so much viewer on his stream at the time. Kameto said after the pixel war ended that he was disappointed in the Spanish streamers because they were focusing too much on the viewership instead of the experience that was r/place.
What's important is that French people had fun and that’s what matters the most.
And as the tradition goes, sorry for my bad English.
btw, Gemany helped france a lot with the defending. there was a little cooperation
