first

mathcat

first

ugh

hyper-neutrino

:P

pxeger

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

here's a plan: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/…

hyper-neutrino

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

pxeger

ok thanks

I'm u/pxeger_ and u/pxeger1

not sure what happened to u/pxeger ;)

hyper-neutrino

17:02

lol

i think we're in the middle of something else that another team with more people is trying to draw

mathcat

yeah

pxeger

The person I messaged wants to write "Dia"

hyper-neutrino

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

pxeger

but muh sunk cost fallacy!

ok we should probably move

hyper-neutrino

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

mathcat

17:16

1560, 162?

pxeger

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

hyper-neutrino

reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/ttq6r4/comment/i34khxe/…

pxeger

Should we accept that, and help them to start with?

hyper-neutrino

yeah i'd be down

pxeger

ok I accepted

hyper-neutrino

17:21

are they the purple people or are they writing letters in black and did they send a plan or smth

pxeger

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)

mathcat

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

hyper-neutrino

i can't tell where the dia is anymore

mathcat

same

hyper-neutrino

17:28

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

pxeger

yeah I think we'll have to give up on that location for now

hyper-neutrino

to advertise we'd need to make it a lot larger lol

we def don't have the resources for that

mathcat

well we could make a bot probably

pxeger

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/…

Aiden Chow

wait where are the coords again

i dont see it anywhere

hyper-neutrino

17:51

coords are pinned

and this location isn't gonna work lol

pxeger

19:41

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

emanresu A

> mebibyte

@pxeger Started. You do mean the checkerboard, right?

pxeger

Yes

@AidenChow @mathcat If you're still participating, there's a new plan ^^^^^

hyper-neutrino

👍

pxeger

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

emanresu A

19:56

C is complete - again...

pxeger

...and it's lost a pixel again

For now, can we focus on writing horizontally ("CODEGOLF") rather than vertically ("CGOODLFE")

hyper-neutrino

sure

DLosc

@pxeger CODEGOLF = GOODLIFE

hyper-neutrino

someone keeps overwriting the one pixel i'm trying to write in lol

emanresu A

20:40

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.

hyper-neutrino

21:02

some orange thing is overwriting us

Ginger

hi

I don't have a Reddit account so I'm just going to watch the chaos

des54321

I have a reddit account, i could help place some pixels

Ginger

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

des54321

lacking anything else to do im currently attempting to patch a few random pixels in the various pride flags scattered about

Ginger

21:19

okay managed to get r/place running

where are yall?

emanresu A

I'm working on it in red around 1237,408

des54321

the red circle that currently says AMC?

emanresu A

21:35

The orangey-red bit below it

des54321

i see it

des54321

22:23

i think the D we're writing is too wide, there should only be a 2x1 space inside it

hyper-neutrino

22:34

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

Ginger

@hyper-neutrino ಠ_ಠ

hyper-neutrino

they should auction off r/place pixels as nfts /s

(disclaimer: i hate everything about nfts, that was just a joke)

Ginger

good idea

des54321

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

hyper-neutrino

oh the amongus crewmate has been modified with some... additional anatomy

very nice

des54321

22:49

@hyper-neutrino yeah i think thats been there for a while, its started gaining more definition though

hyper-neutrino

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?)

des54321

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

Ginger

des54321

and now our O is a U they think we're saying CUCK

hyper-neutrino

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

des54321

23:01

im gonna keep trying for a bit

emanresu A

23:11

I'm back, I'll keep working on ti

(I have a sock)

We have 11 tiles left to change

des54321

donkey kong just covered the space where "GOLF" would go

also i swear that donkey kong was not there at all 5 minutes ago

emanresu A

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?

des54321

i believe our top left corner is actually 1231,408

emanresu A

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Around there

If it was someone here who messed up the D, please don't

des54321

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

emanresu A

23:22

Hopefully

I'ma try and create another sock or two

des54321

the green lattice to our left keeps suffering pranks of people changing their text to green lettuce

Ginger

@des54321 ~~extend dong~~

emanresu A

Huh, TIL you can place a tile with an unverified email but you get a 20m cooldown

des54321

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

Ginger
