first
ugh
 
uh oh, people are placing black pixels between the letters
I hope they don't think we're starting a void
coords are 1022, 553
 
i'll spend my pixels cleaning up excess pixels and hopefully people realize we're not trying to make a void
i'm u/hyperneutrino15 btw although i don't think that needed to be said :P
 
ok thanks
I'm u/pxeger_ and u/pxeger1
not sure what happened to u/pxeger ;)
 
5:02 PM
lol
i think we're in the middle of something else that another team with more people is trying to draw
 
yeah
 
The person I messaged wants to write "Dia"
 
ic
yeah i can't even find the letters anymore without referring to the coords so i think we're just gonna get overwritten if we try to stay here lmao
 
but muh sunk cost fallacy!
ok we should probably move
 
the question is can we even move anywhere without having a large enough team to overwrite anyone who tries to interrupt us lol
actually there seems to be a lot of free room that's just random pixel spam so we could probably just steal one of those
 
5:16 PM
1560, 162?
 
The person I messaged would be happy to have their "Dia" and then have it be replaced by CGCC after they've shown it off
 
Should we accept that, and help them to start with?
 
yeah i'd be down
 
ok I accepted
 
5:21 PM
are they the purple people or are they writing letters in black and did they send a plan or smth
 
I'm pretty sure they're writing in black
I added my idea of it to the spreadsheet
So we start by drawing the black and red bits (all in black; I just made it red on the spreadsheet to be clearer)
then afterwards we erase the red bits and draw the yellow bits (again, all in black)
 
nice
 
in The Nineteenth Byte, 58 secs ago, by Aiden Chow
@pxeger is that for advertising or just for fun, if for advertising, i think we should spell out code golf instead of cgcc, makes it more easily searchable
CC @AidenChow:
what do we think to this? I think it might be too ambitious when there are so few of us
but and it's now definitely looking like that space is already being used by the purple people (whatever it is they're doing)
I think we'll have to move
We could try going in the top bit where the Netherlands are, they seem to be fairly receptive to allyship
 
i can't tell where the dia is anymore
 
same
 
5:28 PM
at the scale we were planning it'd be at best to show off that we pulled it off for a few minutes before it gets overwritten randomly
 
yeah I think we'll have to give up on that location for now
 
to advertise we'd need to make it a lot larger lol
we def don't have the resources for that
 
well we could make a bot probably
 
Side note: I have absolutely no idea how Reddit's servers are handling this
The whole canvas is over a mebibyte of entropy uncompressed: ato.pxeger.com/…
 
wait where are the coords again
i dont see it anywhere
 
5:51 PM
coords are pinned
and this location isn't gonna work lol
 
 
2 hours later…
7:41 PM
Ok. I have a new plan: at (963,226), build the text "Code Golf" in GREY. The full plan is in a second sheet of the spreadsheet.
I chose this location because it seems to have no central authority maintaining it, and is so plain that people are unlikely to mind us changing new things there
 
> mebibyte
@pxeger Started. You do mean the checkerboard, right?
 
Yes
@AidenChow @mathcat If you're still participating, there's a new plan ^^^^^
 
btw (963,226) is the top-left corner if that wasn't obvious
We're getting overwritten, but at a slower pace than we're writing, so I think we'll be fine
It really looks like the checkerboard is placed by a load of bot accounts because the usernames all have the same format
so hopefully the bot operators are doing something else with the accounts now
 
7:56 PM
C is complete - again...
 
...and it's lost a pixel again
For now, can we focus on writing horizontally ("CODEGOLF") rather than vertically ("CGOODLFE")
 
@pxeger CODEGOLF = GOODLIFE
 
someone keeps overwriting the one pixel i'm trying to write in lol
 
8:40 PM
Can I please have some help?
It's just me and my sock right now and we're losing
I give up. The checkerboard bots are pack and we're fighting a losign battle.
 
9:02 PM
some orange thing is overwriting us
 
hi
I don't have a Reddit account so I'm just going to watch the chaos
 
I have a reddit account, i could help place some pixels
 
I'm fighting a losing battle against udev
I'd watch yall but I'm worried trying to view r/place will cause my Raspberry Pi to light on fire
 
lacking anything else to do im currently attempting to patch a few random pixels in the various pride flags scattered about
 
9:19 PM
okay managed to get r/place running
where are yall?
 
I'm working on it in red around 1237,408
 
the red circle that currently says AMC?
 
9:35 PM
The orangey-red bit below it
 
i see it
 
10:23 PM
i think the D we're writing is too wide, there should only be a 2x1 space inside it
 
10:34 PM
ok yeah i had a feeling this might happen
either intentionally or cuz people don't know what we're trying to do they've overwritten our CODE into COCK
4
we should focus on getting rid of the last two letters even if the first two letters get a bit mangled to establish that they're meant to be DE
 
@hyper-neutrino ಠ_ಠ
 
they should auction off r/place pixels as nfts /s
(disclaimer: i hate everything about nfts, that was just a joke)
 
good idea
 
man i gotta say just watching r/place evolve is fun
someone changed the big r/fuckcars to r/fuckcops and theres a whole war there now
 
oh the amongus crewmate has been modified with some... additional anatomy
very nice
 
10:49 PM
@hyper-neutrino yeah i think thats been there for a while, its started gaining more definition though
 
i don't think i noticed it this afternoon when i started helping with the CGCC sign but maybe it was already there :P
the green line that originates from the $GME sign goes up across basically the entire board lmao
i hope someone has a recording of the whole thing or there's a data export or smth
would be cool to see a timelapse of the entirety of r/place once it ends (i'm assuming it's only around for a finite amount of time?)
 
i just noticed the chessboard around 1650,100 has been completely amongus-ified
our D is almost complete, but someone turned our E back into a K
 
and now our O is a U they think we're saying CUCK
 
pretty sure the only way you can do anything is with a large community or by spamming bots
imma just stop wasting my time here
 
11:01 PM
im gonna keep trying for a bit
 
11:11 PM
I'm back, I'll keep working on ti
(I have a sock)
We have 11 tiles left to change
 
donkey kong just covered the space where "GOLF" would go
also i swear that donkey kong was not there at all 5 minutes ago
 
don't worry, we're doing that below
Leave the miscolors for now
NEW PLAN: We're building it in orange with pxeger's original design, at (1236, 411).
@hyper-neutrino Pin please?
 
i believe our top left corner is actually 1231,408
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Around there
If it was someone here who messed up the D, please don't
 
five minutes till my next pixel, im gonna start working on the G
maybe when its clear we're writing multiple words pranksters will change CODE less
 
11:22 PM
Hopefully
I'ma try and create another sock or two
 
the green lattice to our left keeps suffering pranks of people changing their text to green lettuce
 
@des54321 extend dong
 
Huh, TIL you can place a tile with an unverified email but you get a 20m cooldown
 
is it less with a verified email? im pretty sure mine is verified but im still getting 20m
oh huh i never verified my email
in case you cant tell i rarely use reddit
