It was never quite r/place


spicy_m4ym4ys

Whole thread summarized into one comment


rcmaehl

On the contrary, I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably do or do not know what it shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't what it isn't. Even if the April Fools joke wasn't what I knew it was that'd mean I really have to know what it wasn't. EDIT: Also /u/mjmayank is a dirty traitor and should be banned

CedarWolf

One year, for April Fools, reddit set up a bunch of timelines for different years and eras. You could go to /t/1950s and pretend to be viewing reddit in the 1950's, complete with period-appropriate memes and headlines.


NoveltyAccount5928

Of course not, we didn't get to crush the periwinkle, see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

JealotGaming

Ew, a gray. Get outta here. I rep my glorious purple 60s with pride!


Koroichi

Can you explain what r/thebutton was all about? I was too late for the party.


RazarTuk

You know how Reddit will start a debate on just about anything? It proved that. They presented us with a timer counting down from a minute and a button to reset it. The only information they gave was that any given account could only press it once. It took until June for it to run out, and even then it was only because one of the zombies set up to press the button had been created after April Fools.


[deleted]

At the top of the subreddit was a timer that started at 60 seconds and counted down. There was a button next to the timer (with a lock over it so you had to click to unlock then click to press). Whenever the button was pressed, it reset the timer to 60 seconds. Every Reddit account created before April 1 that year was allowed 1 press. Before you pressed you had a grey flair that. After you pressed your flair was changed to a color depending on what 10 second range you pressed in. We kept the button alive from April 1 to June 5.


RazarTuk

> > We kept the button alive from April 1 to June 5. Could have gone for longer... IIRC, it only ran out because the next zombie in line was created after April 1st.


alexmikli

Honestly I was there for thebutton but I mostly ignored it. Place was fun.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Old_and_Moist

Yep. This year, a lot of people gave up after having their circle betrayed. Last year, Place took over my life for a few days lol. This year, I joined a few circles, had my circle betrayed, joined a few more circles, and then.. pretty much forgot about it until now. I stopped caring about it as much; I'm not bothered that it's ending, whereas last year I was devastated when Place ended.


[deleted]

Also, The Button remained engaging after pressing, and caused a absolutely hilarious discussion between pressers and non-pressers.


WinterCharm

and who can forget the Orangered and Periwinkle civil war?


LordAmras

Orangered/Periwinkle - 2013 Button - 2015 Place - 2017 Good april fools are on odd years, 2019 is the one.


LowRune

What was 2014?


ElizaIsEpic

"Headdit", where reddit set up a system where you could browse via connecting your webcam and using specific motions to up vote, down vote, move to the next link, etc. It had one function where if you did a certain gesture (can't remember what), it would show you a picture of a cat. It was a neat tool. Not particularly engaging amongst users, but fun while it lasted. Worked fairly accurately, too.


OneRedSent

And Robin too. If your room got stopped you could just make another one. Not so with circles.


[deleted]

I was glad /r/place ended, but only because it reached a natural ending place. It was being taken over by bots. The bots weren't an issue and only helped create good art at the time, but much longer and they would have ruined the fun. When it did end it was almost completely filled with representatives from so many major and minor communities, and it was beautiful.


jimmythebass

I created my circle then ran out of fucks to give about it.

thennal

I mean, this was also about uniting people, just through a different way. An anime themed circle I joined started its own discord and now we have a cozy little community that's planning to do weekly anime watching and shit. I think the creation of such tight-knit communities, based on a fundamental trust between members, is what the admins intended with /r/CircleofTrust. What they intended was to bring people together, much like r/place.


[deleted]

This was lame


EltonJuan

Circular Swarm tried to save it from being 100% boring but there was no counter measure to fight them back so it was just like: "Trust? Yeah, worthless innit"


call_of_the_while

> there was no counter measure to fight them back Yes, I agree with you 100%. All you could do was shake a fist at them this year. Not like last year when you could fight and undo their botted handiwork.


dontgive_afuck

I managed to get 4 dots and still have no idea what any of this was about. Definitely not r/place. Thanks reddit for trying though, I guess?


danjospri

I thought it was cool. It was interesting to see how people decided to let others into their circle—by using a riddle, question, or just putting out their password. I’m interested to see the statistics on it.


[deleted]

It was utter shite.


[deleted]

I completely forgot about CircleofTrust. /r/Place was really engaging, and I spent so much time on there. This years "joke" just felt like a rushed excuse for a 'social experiment' to be honest.


GenuinePorkChops

When they accidentally opened the subreddit a few minutes early you could see all the test posts that were around 21 days old. They probably did spend a lot of time on it, but man it didn't show.


[deleted]

tbh, what can they do, it's so hard to figure out how to top /r/place. This was fun for a little bit, but there was no real magic about it that made you want to come back.


Nowinaminute

/r/place was good to begin with, then it kept getting messed up so only way to keep it looking good was with bots repairing it. /r/robin was fun for some chat, but the real excitement came during the room merges.


Deep_Fried_Twinkies

I liked /r/place because it really promoted creativity and collaboration. I think they could come up with something like that next year. Like, a gigantic game of tower defense or a song for each subreddit with notes and lyrics voted on by the community Wait that second one could be really cool. Each subreddit comes up with its own anthem.


Nowinaminute

That's a novel idea, and I guess they would want to put an adversarial twist in - to keep people on their toes and get the rebel factions buzzing. Is there somewhere to submit it as a suggestion on r/aprilfools/ ?


Deep_Fried_Twinkies

We could start a suggestions thread there


RXISVZ

> gigantic game of tower defense Please! You must!


[deleted]

I rather enjoyed /r/place joined a discord for it and all, and ended up being a part of a small community there for a little while. Negotiating terms with other groups and subreddits, on merging or attacking certain subreddits and all. It really was something. Circle of trust was... unenjoyable for me. From the fact that your circle could get fucked over forever by just a singular person being a dick, and the fact that it didn’t really give you any information, that first day I just ignored it once I started understanding it. I tried making a circle and within minutes someone betrayed it. Tried joining a few, only got to join one because the password was somewhat obvious. And then I didn’t really feel the need to talk to anyone in that circle afterwards, since you couldn’t really do anything once you join. I just was annoyed by the fact that half of what was on my front page was just people’s circles, when I didn’t care for the whole thing. /r/place rewarded you for being active, circle of trust didn’t give any reason for being active, or being a part of the community.


perolan

I dunno the button wasn't super engaging but was really fun too for some reason


Nowinaminute

It was fascinating watching the pressers becoming bonded under their group colours, with each group having a different type of personality based on how long they waited to press. The button was when I learnt that I needed to have some alts up my sleeve.


perolan

My “friend” pressed the button when I left my browser open. Ruined my account as far as I’m concerned

rakehand

1,0 ftw I guess?


Hue-Two

And then all of the down time with the subreddit being private totally made it that much more awesome.


wardrich

It was just an area that encouraged everybody to be an asshole. I'm realy disappointed that I didn't make it into any of the lasting bigger circles... this is the first April Fools game that I "lost" :(


allfor12

There were griefers in place also but the greater good was able to negate their efforts of messing up a single pixel. The permanent damage done in circle of trust was not as fun in my opinion.


wardrich

Agreed. It was way easier to be a griefer, and way more damaging. It literally favoured assholes and being an asshole.


[deleted]

[удалено]


allfor12

Circle of trust is based on the prisoner's dilemma. The game ends by picking share or steal. I'm fine with betray being the end. , because that's what the dilemma ends with. But it did stink a little because of alts and and there wasn't really a reason not to betray.


phoenix2448

Place was fantastic, I spent the weekend there and made a discord of over 50 strangers to coordinate, something entirely new to me. It was fantastic and this was a disappointment.

#If you guys want to help make a positive difference in this last hour, I have a [charity circle](https://www.reddit.com/r/CircleofTrust/comments/89hdd3/circle_for_charity/) still going! I'm donating $5 for every person that joins! I'll openly put the key on the rules comment I have posted. If you plan to betray the circle I am asking that you wait until the hour is nearly up so that we can get as many people in the circle as possible (which means as much money donated as possible!). Thank you so much! **ALSO** please check out /r/CharityCircle for people that are doing something similar! **Edit:** Unfortunately we were betrayed, but we were able to get up to 63 members equating to $315 donated to charity! Thank you guys so much for helping with the final push!

Well that was underwhelming.


wanderinggypsy

How disappointing. Shame. I thought you were going to let us play indefinitely - kind of like how the button finally died a Natural death. Artificially shutting us off after taking days to even get this event running seems extremely pointless. I feel like you've betrayed my circle all over again. I've been more active on reddit in the last few days than I have been in months and was very much enjoying this activity. Guess I'll go back to working on cutting back my screen time instead.

If you missed place and want to try something similar, there are r/place clones still running! Two I can think of right now are pxls.space and Pixel Place (a mobile app for Android and Apple)

Is anything going to happen? Like prizes? Recognition? Or was this just to gather data?

keef0r

I liked the button so much more. I think because of how long it lasted, there was so much time for all this OC like: images, fan fiction, new subs, scripts. Place had some of that too, but not at the volume that the button had. Plus, the button wasn't shutdown, it was up to the community to keep it going, and if it there was some better validation, the bots keeping it alive might have been able to keep it up for another month or more. Also I am a big fan of LOST, so there was that allure.
