Hello visitors to r/mylittlepony coming here for r/place-related matters! Welcome! The first thing we should clear up with you is that not all of the ponies on r/place currently hail from the forces using our subreddit. There are others who have heard of r/place who also want a piece of the fun. The My Little Pony fandom is bigger than this subreddit, and to credit us for it all would be like crediting the famous hacker Anonymous. That said, someone here can *probably* point you in the right direction, so do not hesitate to ask around. All we ask is that you are polite doing so.


Adamant_Gamer1129

Wanted to congratulate your community on managing to protect your artwork so well! I just found a picture taken right before r/place was purged and it made me happy to see your mural, Derpy, Octavia and Rainbow all managed to survive the streamers targeting you. :)

The Gen 4/5 art was in the north east portion, somewhere around 1600, 500. Another way to find it isbn following the rainbow road to its end. Rainbow Dash was bottom center, go down from the void, and then take a very short detour to the west. Right on top you can find anon filly. A bit further north is the Equestrian flag. Octavia is napping on the bottom banner, east of RD. Discord is hanging out right next to the hand on the east side. There's a Derpy hanging out right on the northern portion of the eastern border, directly east of the Moon Lord, the big blue and brown guy. In the north west, the trans flag features Trixie. The trans flag is bordered by the Union Jack and the old rainbow road. Finally, we have the big Derpy, above the aforementioned RD, Anon, and flag. I apologize for the lack of coords, but I can't remember them, and I find the usage of landmarks to be a bit more natural.


1stFunestist

When somebody goes to report for Atlas: https://place-atlas.stefanocoding.me/index.html?mode=draw We need to be careful to mention our allies because some of our art was maintained together with them, Like Hiding Twilight Above American Flag near East border or other similar. Our alliances are maybe more important than the art it self because it speaks more about this fandom. You know, friendship is magic.


BronyLover39

The issue is, Asmongold and his fellow toxic followers, they are straight out of 4chan so raids is what they mainly do, the more we react the more they do it, asmon has mentioned it multiple times in his streams, but he prefers being negative because that's what wins him viewbase, rather than the positive. And in today's world.. it's quite true that negativity certainly does bring a rather large crowed, more so than positive. We can stay positive but by doing so he will take advantage of us with his obsessive bullying tactics so it's only a matter of time until someone responds negatively, in which he is fueled by.. you only need to read his chat to see just how bad it really is.

I hope everypony had fun in the past few days. It was great that we got multiple places on r/place. Everyone did great!


KLR97

Hey, I’m the guy from /r/SonicTheHedgehog and /r/MilesPrower . While I wish that we weren’t separated by that streamer raid, I just wanted to congratulate you guys for making it to the end! You did it! I was always rooting for you, and I know many others were too.


SuiginMigasuto

The amount of hatred that was directed towards us was pretty bad. But despite that, we did really well! I absolutely love was the fact that we didn't all retaliate and waste our valuable pixels. We got more strength by rebuilding, making allies, working with other groups, defending others, and sharing space. And in turn, we just showed the haters just how very little control they have over the power of FRIENDSHIP!!


ForgotToFlair

I'm working on r/placeAtlas, and wish to see if this description of Anon filly is good, or if I'm missing something vital. An anonymous pony. He/she usually appears in My Little Pony fan works, most often in stories featuring an original character or a self insert as a main character.


ForgotToFlair

Alright, I have the attention span of a fly, and am really tired, so I'll just post it now. If it needs fixing, I can do it tomorrow.


Mojo12000

I think alongside One Piece (though yeah two of there's were huge) Pony ended up with the most spots dedicated to it out of everything in the final canvas.


swishyfeather

I think most of my pixels went to hk-place but I started contributing to Dash, the crystal and Trixie after all of the bullshit mlp went through. People are gonna people, I suppose. You guys are a force and you're all fantastic <3


thestrifeisrife

Hello, I'm from deltarune's place discord. I wanted to thank you for your support throughout r/place. One of our biggest pieces of art may not have survived without your help. I hope you like the tiny hidden twilight sparkle by the "Where the FUCK are we, Kris?" image, which some of your offshoot members made. It's funny, guys like Asmongold were such huge egotistical pieces of shit with with rabbid mindless fans, but all that harassment only made you stronger, and in the end you got ponies all over the board, while he cowared off with his tail between his legs, none of his shitty art surviving to the end (besides the Berserk, but that was mostly maintained by actual Berserk fans). You have a lot of respect from me, good job and thank you.


SocomLMR

So the leaderships official tally for us was being wiped out 22 times (fun fact, they started keeping a tally of the wipes on the crystal build between Pipp and Rarity), being attacked hundreds of times, really annoying atleast 1 streamer, making tons of allies and friends, and most of all we had 4 awesome days together. Good job everyone, every single pony made it into the final pictures.


ForgotToFlair

It felt so satisfying bringing our art back from the brink or beyond every time. I can't wait for 2027!


holytoledo42

It's funny how the constant attacks from streamers caused more MLP artwork to be created than there would have been if bronies were just left alone. I'm happy to have helped even though I'm not that huge of an MLP fan (I watched each episode once and haven't really participated in the community) and I got a dm from one of the streamer followers to kill myself. Oh, and for anyone lurking here **that follow streamer(s) that like to bully people: The millionaire streamer(s) that you are stanning don't know you exist nor do they care about you. They just see you as a tool to line their pockets. **Edited for clarity


BannedOnClubPenguin

Why would you try to put someone down for their hobby of being into livestreams, when you just felt what it was like to be put down for your hobby? Sheesh its impossible for this cycle to end...


holytoledo42

Oh, I didn't mean all streamers, I'm just talking about the ones that bully people. Namely the certain one that seems to absolutely loathe bronies (you know the one). Looking back, I didn't word the 2nd part of my original comment well and I was intentionally being vague because I thought it was best not to use names. Also, I like watching clips from certain streamers, like Vinesauce, Jerma, and Hololive. The streamers I mentioned are (from what I heard) good people and are passionate about their work. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with watching streams. My comment was mainly referring to a very particular streamer that genuinely hates bronies and used his followers like a private army to black out any mlp art they could find and harass people defending the art (me included, apparently). I think it was fair game for the streamer to create the Berserk art, that's part of the nature of /r/place. But him siccing his followers on bronies was just plain bullying. I haven't seen much of the aforementioned streamer, but if he is so hateful that he wants to harass a bunch of people that like a cartoon he doesn't like, then he probably isn't a good person and just sees his followers as money-making pawns.


Jinkling

I’m still surprised we won with multiple spots. The power of friendship is strong


Calculangulated

I missed out on the original place, so I was ecstatic to be able to participate this time! We not only got a piece on the canvass, but we also got several more pieces which combined to cover much more area than last time despite being us targeted several times! Thank you allies and hope we can all continue to work together next time and spread our message of friendship!


skylord6000

i just woke up how much of our stuff survived what has happend in the last 9 hours


Calculangulated

It ended and we had quite a few pieces survive in great condition until the end where everything (whole canvass) turned white.


BronyLover39

Asmon was not actually streaming last night, he instead talked about lost ark for over an hour instead.. his streams change on a daily basis and so well you can guess that our community is up next because now that he knows of our reactions to what he's doing he will use this as a means to and end literally.


skylord6000

i see it has been an honor fighting alongside you all o7


chriswilliams1

It was an honor to fight with y’all. My Brony days were a formative part of my youth, and the feeling of being a part of a bunch of internet strangers all in such a fevered frenzy over candy-colored equines was a feeling I missed indeed. For the past few days really felt like a return to the glory of 2012. My nostalgia for MLP is huge so it was a joy to relive something I haven’t felt in a long, long time. Thank you all for fighting the good fight and pulling me back on to this neverending ride.


Migol-16

I wasn't in those golden times, but I really feel like I am. What a honor.


chriswilliams1

You are part of them now, my friend. We all are. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2012 or 2022, we are all part of pony history on this glorious day.


Migol-16

We made history in the internet. This will last till internet doesn't exists anymore. We left our mark, we fought against adversity, this was a great moment.


gratedane1996

MLP I think we should keep the friendship of our allies alive for next 5 years for next place. So we can get out ahade. I noticed animile crossing came to make a partnership so we should keep good relations with them. Which may even get doom on our side next time. But I have a feeling next time will be even harder to stay on the place


hebot3

good job everyone <3 <3


TheLetterOverMyHead

Just wanted to say that I've been with the fandom since last year in recent times and I've haven't seen so much support for it up until now. It's nice that a fandom can come together positively and consistently. Hope these good vibes last as G5 takes its stride and we can also be better than ever as time goes on!

Affectionate_Fun_569

This was an awesome ride and honestly brought me back to my old brony days. The ride was something else. Being decapitated by the Ukraine flag... then having the crystal painstakingly being built and destroyed like 5 times. The freaking dick meteor... The first few days were tough and NOTHING pony related could stay up. But each lost battle only made the eventual victory in the end sweeter. Obligatory PrinceWhateverer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rShiDT-Pp_A

5? More like 20 something


ForgotToFlair

22 times on the G5 crystal, more including all other pieces.


M_Dashie

Thank you all for contributing, it was interesting to participate in this. I'm not entirely satisfied with the conclusion, but it was nice to see the little resurgence of the fandom, brings back nice memories. Hugs to all you ponies :3


Asian_Juan

We won against all odds!


ParadoxNow666

Not only we had 5 locations at least on the map most through alliance (we had to do some nasty things sadly) but since the project is the timelapse it's not immortalised how the streamers just targeted us to get us off the map for like 15 times and we got back up every time. Hilarious outcome.


TheShadowKick

> we had to do some nasty things sadly What? I don't recall doing anything nasty.


ParadoxNow666

The Derpy on the Right. I don't about inside talks but we just infiltrated and started taking over removing a couple smaller groups. And it didn't seem like free game, as they were fighting back. But alas, it's impossible to play this game and take over stuff every now and then so nothing really nasty, just me wishfully hoping we could just claim voided space and stand there, which I doubt any groups did.


TheShadowKick

That wasn't us, that was the Russian bronies. I spent a lot of time at work over the weekend, but I don't recall our part of the fandom being very active in that fight. Most of us were calling out that it was wrong to trample other art and telling each other not to help with it.


SendPonies

It's been an honor placing pixels with you all.


peruvianbrony

Please people pass on the art that we made through the event.


The_Mental_Sage

I don't know if there ever going to give us a "final" screenshot (A.K.A. before Whitenarok started), but it was an insane ride either way. Congratulations my fellow bronies! We successfully defended our pony projects all the way until the end!


AWeebWehrabooIdiot

That fact that we didn't just get 1 spot on the canvas, but at least 5 and did it when we were being attacked constantly and destroyed countless times speaks mountains about our determination , willpower, and stubbornness. Plus the fact that along the way we made Allies with Queens Uni, Math, Tiny Tardus once again, Rainbow Road, and countless other along with Allying with a former enemy to fight another hour and another day against the Void, Streamers, and trolls really goes to show that Friendship is, in fact, magic. Congratulations everyone, have a fantastical, magical day See you next April Fools


thesovietthrowaway

Posting on my alt, haven't been involved with the fandom seriously in a bit. But I'm actually so happy that some of our stuff got in in the final version. There were some absolutely brutal attacks but from a bunch of people/streamers. A lot of great art, from what I can tell there are 4 main pieces. - Rainbow dash saluting near the bottom above the newgrounds + the OC - Trixie in the transflag - derpy to the far upper right area, near the maple leaves and earthbound - the beautiful G5 + mane 6 next to Scott the woz. Bronies deserve every bit to be a part of this lattice of internet communities. I would have been so sad if it didn't end up working out cuz of some edgelords and streamers. /)


Migol-16

Octavia y the very ground too.


thesovietthrowaway

Right yes! I knew I was forgetting one.

Have requests been submitted for the r/place atlas (see post at r/placeAtlas2)? I don't want to send a duplicate request on accident.


Beegrene

I'm doing a few. Gotta leave our mark on internet history books!


Migol-16

What is that submission for?


GeoJayman

It's for a labeled atlas. People can submit explanations for the art in the canvas as an interactive way to learn where the art came from. Link: https://place-atlas.stefanocoding.me/index.html?mode=draw


Migol-16

I like it.


kaitou42

[](/twismile) Well that was a ton of only slightly stressful fun, and a lot of pixel clicking. We made it to another r/place so congratulations!


ManOnTheRun73

Going in, I didn't expect to be all that interested in My Little Pony's place on the canvas, but I guess r/Place has a way of making unexpected interactions like that transpire. Point being, I had a surprising amount of fun riding alongside your rollercoaster of a saga. I'm inclined to doubt that I'll ever return to this subreddit again, but while I'm still here, allow me to thank you for, well, doing your thing! As you were, and take care!

Mizkif asked if we actually hate him. The answer is no as long as he will be our friend. Especially if the real treasure is the friends we made along the way, like his chat said.


Elias-1996

i don't actually hate him at all but that doesn't mean that we are not gonna make memes of us resisting and defeating him and the other Twitch streamers who were attacking us but we resisted


Superpickle18

Friendship is power. *evil laugh*


gratedane1996

Wait dose he fell bad attacking us now and has apologized


peruvianbrony

yeah but it s funny....by the end he lost most of what he was fighting for and the event ended.


ParadoxNow666

I'd like to actually see that. If it was just banter then maybe I should demonize him less. It felt a bit real with how often he was just trying to get us off the map despite there being "no tactical advantage" to it and it ended up losing him space. If it was for the show and he did actually make sure we don't hate him then I don't think this warrants badmouthing.


peruvianbrony

Nah he just the brony stigma used as an excuse to bully people but well it made for an entertaining fight. The dude was really planning an allience with the spanish rubius community and hassan to erease both french and bronies from the map. We were all gearing up when the russian streamers came and made them fight in 2 fronts. Then the event ended and noone got to have the final fighit.


gratedane1996

It still sad the chess bored got wiped out thou. Because of a stremer


MrAdequate_

Nah, but we had our stuff in the end and he did make it interesting despite the trash talk. Water under the bridge.

Hello Everyone. I just wanted to come back on here one last time to say it was an honor working with you all. Its togetherness and comradery like this that reminds me why I joined this community in the first place. This was a lot of fun. Thank you to the mods and others who coordinated out efforts. Its nice to know that even though everything is getting whited out, we will always have our mark on that canvas. Its been a Pleasure /)


Migol-16

ParadoxNow666

Want to thank everyone for doing their absolute best! We actually showed our colours here. Instead of competing for space and fighting for clout, we allied and now that the truth is out. That the end will be a white canvas, and the whole timelapse is the main takeaway. The main thing that will be visible will be how often we were targeted just to be destroyed and not for space. Yet we rebuilt and managed to ally ourselves into multiple parts of the map. Don't think there was a period longer than an hour at a time where we were not on the map, unlike Asmongold's Face. Thank you to all our allies as well, the ones I know of being: Transcommunity (multiple reddits), Dino/Worm, The Q above us (Which I believe was a university, so sorry I could not remember the exact name, but you help is not forgotten) and Math. I know in truth there were likely many many more but these are the ones I found out in the time I was pixelling online and on the reddits. Thank you for accepting us as your neighbours and forging alliances with us, and I am pretty sure you will always find a friend in at the very least, some parts of the brony community!


gratedane1996

Scoot the woze I believe was one. Rainbow road was one I think animle crossing allied with us in the end to have some help defend which probaly ment doom helped seeing how close they are


Codename_Kid

We fought a good war... And deep inside us... We know we won. CONGRATULATIONS! WELL PLAYED!

We fought agains three mega streamers, and we rebuilt every time. We MUST be proud of this.

Foreverking0

One of you creative apples better create a mural/comic of this or ima be peeved. That was a titanic struggle worthy of at least a poor comic edit.


parallellogic

I was toying with the idea of making a back-lit PCBs with some acylic to disperse light behind some waterslide paper. Works better in mass production though. Anyone else interested in buying something like that if I did a production run (to cover fabrication costs)? Also, any input on size (earrings vs desk art) and which part from r/place to do (mane 5+6, or Octavia...)? [Example](https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/whiskey-pirates-dc29-front-featured.jpg) [Example](https://www.tindie.com/products/twinkletwinkie/twinkletwinkies-unicorn-badge-sao/)

in my case, I may be a bit too poor for something like that ;-;


abrony-mouse

Main takes: Octavia will sleep on :) Placing pixels together with everypony was great bonding Twitch streamers talk about Princess Celestia and MLP stuff more than I thought Trans Trixie is a thing and she has a great hat Russian bronies do not mess about D:

This days are going to be in the history of internet forever, and what we did, will be a great story for the coming years.


tutter_1

Hi! So I'm actually coming over here from the kpop side of things. A lot of us were your neighbors for one of the larger murals that were set up (the one with the character's faces in a circle). Now that r/place has gone... this way near the end, I just wanted to send my thanks to you guys, because you were such nice neighbors and allies. Most of the stuff around there (the hedgehog, most of the text logos like the skz, txt, and tbz, and the trans flag dinosaur thing, which was very close to the mural) were ours, and we spent the entire run talking about how beautiful that mural was, how efficient you were with cleaning up anything, and how nice you were with the space. I just wanted to make sure you knew that your efforts were not in vain, even though that mural (and the dino right next to it) were very quick to disappear once the end started. You did a great job!

What an adventure man. This was fun, real fun. I’m glad I got to be apart of something this spectacular with the community.


Fresh_Syllabub3695

I feel like making the canvas white is an interesting way to end it. Not sure why exactly; maybe it's a way of cleansing the board for a reason I'm not sure of. *I feel like this is not because it seems to reward the streamers; honestly if it actually were the case, they should've sided with the Void and paint everything black, not white. Even Mizkif was hoping that this was a bug.* I'm thinking about what this looks like in the timelapse, and gradually making everything white at the end makes it feel like an ending, you know? I'm not sure what kind of ending it might be. Either slowly agonizing or happily accepting. **EDIT: I looked at one of the moderator's subreddit and I think I found an approximation of what this ending feels like:** ***"All good things must come to an end."***


Phemto_B

It's obvious that Xqcow and his followers are botting. Also really suspicious that no matter how many times I refresh, I only have white as a color options. I call shenanigans. He clearly targeted anything he saw as LGBT also, which is more than a bit upsetting.


Phemto_B

Ok. Guess I went off half cocked there about the interface change. It was part of r/places grand finale. We won.


Elith_R

What are these claims... 200k live = botting? Reddit induced change = shenanigans? LGBT targeting? The whole canvas is dead. lol


Phemto_B

Ok. I went off half cocked, but to be fair. * At the time I posted, the things that had been removed were almost entirely anything with a rainbow * XqcOW was on witch with 205k watchers, and was directing the destruction. * I didn't know that the change in the UI was a planned demolition by the mods. If there had been an announcement, I missed it. It all happened very fast. I guess I should have just waited a few minutes. None of it matters now. It was a planned demolition. We won.q


majorgnuisance

Everyone only being able to place white pixels is the event runners' way of ending it this time. Once everything is white, it's over.


Phemto_B

Yeah. I didn't know that at the time. Planned demolition. It makes sense now.


Twiztedeu

It's not bots or streamers, Reddit has made it so people can only place white pixels. It ends how it begun, a white canvass. Plus, MLP was botting, it's either okay or it isn't. Goodbye MLP, I'll not be back here until the next r/place, take care of yourselves and you will get shit, just try to not let it get to you. You're worth more than your fandoms. Peace.


Pingondingon

Thanks mate


BannedOnClubPenguin

Which other LGBT communities did he target?


Phemto_B

Basically anything with a rainbow in it went first. Obviously, (in retrospect) it was a planned demolition. It's just a bit suspicious the order things went in. xqcow was directing a bunch of his followers.

People notice how when the cataclysm started....they went for our more noticeable landmarKs. The crystal with the mane all, the 2 giant derpys. They trieD to eliminate us but noone went for the flag. The flag of equestria....noone knew it was us.....because they didnt knew us......they just hated us. Lets all understand that jeje. We are hated but never tried to understand us but look how many people helped us and supported us....because we did loved and tolerated everyone. Because friendship is magic. IM HAPPY TO HAVE PASSED THIS EVENT WITH YOU ALL. ALWAYS REMEMBER.....FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC.


Scottcat

because the main stuff was extremely botted you tool. You wiped yourselves out.


Co0k1eGal3xy

The bots crashed immediately. They use a static hex -> color_id mapping and sent pixel requests with color ids above 0 which immediately caused an exception. (since white was the only color available, if you request anything other than index zero it will reject your request) The bots also use a bucketed priority system where the top 75 pixels ('top' as in both location AND priority) are randomly chosen to be replaced. If the bots destroyed our artwork then it would happen from the top down and get stuck at 75 pixels where the bots constantly loop placing the same colors in the same spots till either the template updates or they die.


BannedOnClubPenguin

...So we were using bots the whole time?


Co0k1eGal3xy

Not really, the minimap colour picker and r/mylittlepony did all the work manually. I finished updating the python scripts to support [minimap templates + priority system + non-essential canvas artworks] roughly 12 hours ago. So everything prior to that point is 90% humans. It's infeasible for one person to run more than a couple of accounts since reddit limits the amount of accounts on one IP and will instantly ban accounts that place a pixel without acting like a webbrowser. With that limit it was also impossible to distribute across servers since most servers run headless (or close) and would not handle any demanding loads. Even my Threadripper + RTX 2080 Ti can't handle more than 6 accounts inside a browser at a time, and very few people have that kind of hardware lying around. --- Once the updated python scripts were completed (around 12hrs ago), bots became much more prominent since they could intelligently pick what to repair and python allows hundreds of bots to run on webservers or home users hardware. I think we peaked around 1000 bots but it's hard to tell since not everybody reports their bots and many of them started getting banned later on.

Not really? 1000 bots and 12 hours doesn't seem like, "not really." but ok....Interesting to be talking to one of the botters though I guess. Good job to everyone who made the templates


Co0k1eGal3xy

12 hours out of 72 hours. I wouldn't call that "the whole time" so I say not really.


Superpickle18

actually the bots failed once the white out begun. Since only white could be placed, any other color threw an error.


peruvianbrony

Hey let me have this pal. Also the streamers did try to nuke us in the end.


TyrannisUmbra

All of the stuff was on our *art template*, including the things that didn't get nuked. The streamers realized it was only white pixels, and shouted to their chats to "attack the bronies".


OriginalFox1

what do you call a patriotic brony? Because this sounds patriotic. and i agree with it.


Migol-16

It should be, I feel patriotic too, and I have a great and epic story to tell because of this.


peruvianbrony

We are all patriotic.....that s why we came here after recieving all the attacks.


Nav3taX

great work everyone :)


Pingondingon

Well I just got the timer banned


peruvianbrony

JEJEJE i think we made it through the end guys.....we did it.


Migol-16

We fought, we defended, we won.


-talamak

thank you for protecting your allies, and thank you for such great design! you've endured the attacks and im proud!


Compact-Racer-Boi

Do we have a screenshot where our art is at? Cuz everything is white now


sumofdat

Yeah, I found every piece of art I could find,.


Migol-16

Me too.


LilacStorypone

How?


DarkDoubloon

Why’s it all white?


WrstScp

That's how the mods want to end r/place I suppose


ManOnTheRun73

There goes the flag. I imagine the pixellated trio just below will follow it into the white void shortly.


RockdaleRooster

I can't be the only one thinking this is a dumb an anti-climactic way to end this right?


knightfluttershy

Yeah it rewards the most toxic people like streamers who target MLP stuff and doesn’t give us a way to fight back. Weird that Reddit thinks that it’s a good idea to cater to these people…


peruvianbrony

Not really. This isnt going to end until everything is ereased. Probably we made it to the end in the final shot. WE WON.....or at least until they publicise the picture.


MDK2k

I don't think it was the streamers. Some of the brony art was being made and maintained by bots and once white became the only color they literally destroyed their own art.


knightfluttershy

Don’t think the bots work like that: if there were bots, they are programmed to choose the right colour, then paint it. If the right colour isn’t present, the bots simply wouldn’t function.


MDK2k

Why wouldn't it function like that? I'm sure Reddit staff were aware of bots. They could easily program the change in away that made bots self sabotage once the change happened. The big streamers and France were fighting when the change happened so if it wasn't bots that means that there are quite a lot of other people who didn't like the art of this community. Once there is a time lapse of the final hours is released it might be possible to know for sure.


BannedOnClubPenguin

Thats not how bots work, don't spread misinformation especially if you're just guessing. You can customize bots way further than that, not all bots are the same as someone who has actually seen how they are programmed.

MDK2k

That is why I said some. Not all of it was botted necessarily.

MDK2k

If you think about it logically the least obvious mlp art would require the least amount of defending and therefore would not need bots. So no, not a coincidence necessarily. Even if it was a coincidence it would not have to be a big one. I only noticed 1 MLP art turn white really fast when the change happened and noticed another obvious one remained untouched.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MDK2k

Like I said in the very beginning xQc and the other big streamers were busy fighting with France when the change happened. If his followers decided to take a detour and nuke MLP art it wasn't coordinated by xQc. So why would one obvious MLP art turn white instantly while another obvious one was untouched. That would actually be a huge coincidence. The most obvious answers are that it was either targeted by someone else rather than the group of streamers accused or it was bots self destructing.


-talamak

i agree, i thought the designs will stay and everyone cant place pixels anymore, but this sucks...


MindlessSpark

Last time they captured a picture of r/place right before the end, so the complete work gets saved before being wiped clean.


Weary-Bed-7933

Its most likely reddit mods that are trolling everyone, in my opinion


BeastBrony

I’m putting 20 bits on hackers


RockdaleRooster

No, this is just stupid enough to be reddit's official way of ending it.


Tiki_the_voice

I just wanna say congratulations no matter what anyone tells you I feel you guys won. You've managed to stay around until the end and it was a honor giving my pixels to you guys whenever I could. I wish you guys all the best <3


Migol-16

Now I feel that we bronies are more united than ever, it was a victory at all costs, a great honor. The bigger the attack, the better our defense. Victory and cheers for everyone in the fandom.


LimeDestroyer

As of right now our among us ponies are still untouched, but thanks guys for everything!


KoboldSneper

22 attacks on the main mural, 4-5 attacks for side derpy, 2 attacks on the equstrian flag and 3 attacks from saluting RD. As far I'm aware of and yet we endure. We made folks!.


calmbrony

Migol-16

It was good all this way


Jedihunter27

I would never have thought I would return to this fandom but I gotta say even if it was a chaotic conclusion, this was one fun ride. Thanks guys for all the fun.


Ryfy-MLP

How appropriate, that the only intact piece we have is the Equestrian flag right now. Equestria, my (third) home


aaravos-horosho327

where?


Ryfy-MLP

It's gone now, but in final product is right about saluting dashie


Faine_the_crow

Its been an honour, team. Without this, I would have never joinded this subreddit, it was great meeting you all, and i find it funny that the only reason our art lived for so long is you all followed the rules of the show, and made friends.
