One of the developers for Pxls (we helped run this event) here! Lots of work goes into running a smooth canvas event. Catching and banning bots, catching and banning multiaccounts, making sure the servers are still alive, helping people solve various issues, and SO much more went into this behind the scenes. We actually had *no idea* that Connor was going to even run this event before he did. We found out when everyone else did, and I saw it and thought "Wait... that's our open source software! Wait... they probably don't have out mod tools set up... Oh no..." and offered my help and brought in many of the other Pxls staff to help. I'm *super* glad Connor and his mod team let us help out in running this event, it wouldn't have gone nearly as smoothly if they hadn't accepted our help, and I wouldn't have had this once in a lifetime opportunity if Connor hadn't run this event. None of this could've been done without our awesome community at Pxls, who helped create cleaned up versions of many of the templates that various streamers and communities made throughout the event on VERY short notice, including Connor's, ironmouse's, some of the neurosama stuff (from that webpage connor showed), and more templates. More work goes into those than people give credit for, as making a "clean" template from an image involves completely redrawing it from scratch in the right color palette. A big part of why this canvas looks so good is because of the effort the Pxls community put in to provide clean templates to the streamers and communities building them. There *is* one thing I'd like to clear up here tho. osu! (or more accurately "osuplace") was not botting, and has never botted. They are *just* cracked at clicking squares on pixel canvases and have over 12k people in a *dedicated* discord server *just* for osu on r/place (or similar canvas games). I actually went on to help develop the overlay that osuplace and touhou used to animate Bad Apple!! on the real Reddit r/place this year, and actually took over leading osuplace for a while on r/place this year after the other osu leaders had gone to sleep. I would know their inner workings, as I literally helped develop them. And I would know if they were hiding something, as I literally helped moderate *this* canvas, which has anti-botting measures. They're no botters. If we ever do this event again, we'll be sure to have better servers. 😉

Moral of the story: If the Osu community can click tiny circles at over 200 bpm you bet they're gonna have a field day clicking squares😂

Yo British Ludwig uploaded again

all the Rainbros working together to make the most high quality png of Rain's ass just to troll Connor is truly one of the Rainhoe moments of all time

This was one of the most colorful and well designed r/place canvases I've ever seen

I think compared to the r/place drama, this canvas was received more positively. The wars were in jest and not a lot of people took it seriously, and that was the best. The art that came out of this was great, and a lot of the participating streamers enjoyed their time getting involved. Well done to Connor, the team at pxls, and everyone for getting on board. Great event!

I love how petty Connor was with the OSU community, that was hilarious to see the rivalry between them

If you look at 34:42 you can see my blue cat for a good while! I made it all on my own. Took me over 2 hours. He's left of the middle and a little bit down. Top left of the ironmouse there. We lived for a while boys, but Bubi was too strong

Hi! As the pixel-artist who designed all of Bradley's iterations after the first one (The dog at the top right), thank you for the opportunity! It was SUPER fun to participate with everyone and watch as chaos ensued. And remember. THE CANVAS BROKE BEFORE THE BRADLEY BOYS DID! #BradleyBoys

"I wanna make sure Germany is destroyed at least" (c) Connor 2023

The real winner here is the Philippine flag that remained untouched until the end.

This was more creative and fun than the official r/place canvas.

The fact that they made a literal website to push back was hilarious af lmao

21:07 damn Connor destroyed Rain's ass

What I learnt from this r/place, was to never frick with OSU community, they are a terrifying community to make your enemy

I didn't get the war at first. The destruction of art. For the first two days, I mostly helped defend. But every time something got destroyed, another piece came in its place, bigger and more beautiful than before. Every piece more complex and ambitious. Connor's call for war made sense now. This whole event has been so much fun.

35:33 Who knew that by creating the black void, it would trigger the white OSU text to act as a Big Bang

I liked how half of the video was just connor trying to destroy the Osu! logo and they somehow are still able to rebuild it till the disaster that had happened at the end

long time pxls user here! seeing the love for these canvases warms my heart to the fullest. thank you all so much for joining, we loved your kind messages on our canvas!

The amount of presence and influence anny and Neuro Sama had on the canvas and story was impressive. Clips of anny fighting for there drawings was so fun

Connor hosts a canvas: Femboys; Neets and E-Girls: Is for me?

As the person who started the Sans in the bottom-right corner; I'm proud that he was able to stay there for so long and glad people even revived him after he was fully covered.

Love that Neuro-Sama is sitting on the Osu logo with Vedal.

watching this back is so crazy. I was there making the zen toaster and fillian head and its crazy to look back and think, "hey i was there i helped make that" these big pixel canvases are so much fun and provide such a sense of comradery and community. the canvas was great and hope the people on the server side have happy healthy lives. also just got to the part where connor just said he might do this again in the future and im looking foward to it

The final war for osu! was amazing. I had Connor, Anny, and Henya's streams up at the same time and listened as the war commanders lead their respective charges.

I feel like this is more colorful than the 2023 r/place, this is so pleasing to look at, even more so for the time lapse!

I admit I was hoping "wall" here meant he was going to wallpaper his room with a printout of whatever the viewers made.

Conner’s imperial nature really shinned in this video

This video perfectly represents how the chat hates and loves its streamer.

As a 6 digit osu player, I can confirm that osu did infact burn down an orphanage

Connor declared a war on Osu! ? That's alright. They declared a war on the Neuro-sama plushie? You've made a terrible mistake... The Neuro-Vedal-Anny Alliance was too strong

The funny turtle and his AI daughter community is insane

This was quite the saga. No wonder it took so long to compile it into one video. I was surprised how much fun I had placing pixels of all things.

Hey! I was the one managing the website mentioned in this video. I cannot believe how much power we (Neuro-sama and anny communities) had on the canvas. It started as a small group of people wanting to make something cool, but who knew that it will be MUCH bigger in just 24 hours. We were clueless about Connor's intentions for the art, so some of us were very mad about cheating. But, after some rest, we fought back and became even stronger, practically holding the power (literally the biggest force wtf). And I am glad for all the alliances, you guys are so supportive and kind! And huge thanks to The Swarm Council for carrying a difficult task of making this manageable. Thank you so much for this experience, way better than r/place, because r/place had no soul. p.s. Website is still available.

I'm honestly surprised the heart boarder I helped create in the lower left survived the whole canvas campaign. Nonetheless, being apart of the creation/destruction in a canvas for the first time was amazing!

That "very, very quickly" at 6:40 sounded a lot like Bubi, it must be because Connor admires him so much, he tried to imitate his voice, no other reason.

Ahh i remember that last day, i was fighting on the OSU side as it requested help from the swarm, we stood our ground, we fought and in the end THEY NEVER TOOK US DOWN! VIVA LA PIZZA REVOLUTION!

Connor focusing so much on german flag in the beginning, then on rain, but the true enemy was anny. During her subathon her community made like 30 pieces.

Great community you've got there. Everything was up for grabs but there was a small group making sure the "IDF - Donate Plasma" was always there and kept touching it up. Bravo.

20:52 Rainhoe’s ass got wrecked so hard, I got an age verification notice mid-video.

Finally a superior R/Place that had no 🤖and more original art than boring flags👍 ❤

Connor did you really think you could beat osu players on a clicking game?

Connor: this is about wars on getting spaces for artworks! Filipino flag: i didnt got the memo.

The few things Osu fans really care about…. Anime And keeping their pixel art on a random space in the internet for all to see.

This whole journey was so fun to be a part of!

Im glad connor hosted this event it was super fun and the timelapse made it all worth it

CRYING BUNNY REPRESENT!!! This whole thing was sooooo fun. Met a lot of nice people because of this event. The wars were intense af too So happy to finally see this once again huhu, Thank you Connor!!!

One of the many takeaways from this is to not mess with the swarm

Connor please do this again I’ve never had so much fun interacting with the community

Glad to see the Aerial Gundam holding up well, it's only had 1-4 people work on it from time to time until it was finished XD

The way the OSU explodes in the time-lapse is actually epic.

I was a part of this event and it was a huge blast and way more fun then this years actual r place I only had a single artwork outside of helping others (loss in the bottom right corner) however it survived throughout the ENTIRE event, with help from the swarm at the end when they took over that corner of the canvas by allowing me to incorporate it into their artwork, huge props to them!

I loved this so much, it was a blast to help with

Connor: Germany dead, rainhoe a$$ dead, Osu dead Meanwhile: Philippine Flag in the Far Upright Corner still living in the very first day

Man the way Conner talks about Osu he sounds like a Evil war general

I love this. It's like pixellated graffiti from the 90s. My city used to have a couple "community walls" that were used like this.

The amount of neuro's, anny's and the big buff vedal were insane

The Osu community are professionals. They've done this many times.

I was so excited for this best week I had I’ll say thank you Connor for hosting it

those people made some good art wow

This was a fun event. Hopefully we get to do this again. Will have better things in place.

I had so much fun in this event o7 Granted, I was more than a bit butthurt about the cheating and quite a lot of people in the Swarm did overreact and send over hateful messages in the twitch chat, but most of us were against it. After Connor's intentions were made clear with how he wanted the canvas to go, we rebound very quickly. (The gigavedal on the top right gets completed in literal milliseconds after the fall of the Neuro fumo). And all of our other art works appear quite quick afterwards. One of my favourites was especially the IDF logo. After that we continued to create a ton more art alongside Anny's community and had a ton of fun. Honestly, the gigachad might have been a good thing, it spurred us to create more art; before that we were just sitting around. Seeing the family table getting crushed in the war with the VShojo art, even if it was shown for a couple seconds, brought back some dark memories :despair: The whole canvas had such great art from every community and at the end of it, it was quite wholesome. Would love to participate if Connor does another canvas eventually. (After table ptsd goes away that is)

This was really great, I must've replayed the time lapse at the end like 30 times

Legitimately surprised that osuplace were that dominant without bottimg, they’re actually cracked.

the end result timelapse is just so great, we need to do this for a whole year atleast with even more people

I'm proud of The Swarm and the brave soldiers from the Foxhole

Cdawg fans genuinely respect each others arts -Cdawg HAVE WARS KILL IT !

"Connor touches grass! He's not one of us!" - Anny, rallying the alliance defending the OSU logo.

One day the Mud Bros will return once anew! Was a lot of fun, but also a lot of grief seeing your creations getting destroyed on a whim! 10/10 would go through this emotional turmoil again!

I love how this devolved from an art canvas to Connor trying endlessly to kill the osu! cookie

I like how in the timelapse OSU just kind of detonated like an atomic flashbang

Creating on there was so much fun and I even spotted the lil gremlin my community and I made a few times in this video

Bro people just hanging out and Connor here just like: "we need to start war"

That time lapse at the end was beautiful

Nice work Keep it up cdawg

so cool to see the timelapse transitions

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about any of these r/place things, OSU is small, but insanely devoted.

My favorite has to be the girl with the tail... doing it with herself with her tail. Pure art 🤌

That timelapse video at the end was so satisfying

whoever put Technoblade- THANK UU

It's crazy looking back at this. Spent two literal sleepless nights just to defend Neuro arts. Final piece was amazing. Thanks Connor for making a canvas much more enjoyable than the pixel. And all the communities for putting their efforts ❤❤

I love seeing smaller communities band together to fight against Connor's Tyranny. Viva La Revolution~!!

" I need problems, Always!" but /srs conflict makes everything more entertaining. keep it up.

I had so much fun during the event! Bradley Boys looking forward to the next one

The problem is he was battling the ever growing NEURO SAMA community, which just so happened to have started from OSU! The war was always meant to happen due to Connor's ignorance.

As the leader of the eeveelution alliance I'm glad we were able to get all the eeveelutions up there (despite some complications) along with our ironmouse eeveelution design o7

Heard it here First Ladies and gents Connor destroys rainhoe’s ass

The war on osu was pretty fun, loved how the giga chad turned out, i look forward to what will happen next time conor does this event again.

Rainhoe getting the thumbnail treatment 😂❤

I swear anytime these canvas things are done, Germany is the first to invade

This was a really fun event. For the swarm!

I made the little Link on the Bradley and I was so surprised that it survived the whole entire event without it being destroyed! It was such a fun event i am looking forward to another one!

Rip Rain’s ass, you will be missed

I feel like it's just not a Connor stream without him showing his cake at least once.... yeah, I've been here for awhile lmao

This was fun and funny, love these videos, definitely going to the next stream thats like this

I like how the Portuguese flag was basically in the middle and remained untouched from start to finish. 🇵🇹

This canvas shows just how much the swarm lives up to their name

"they never had sunlight in their life!" He says as he exploited the labor of the same people

I love that I was already playing osu as I booted up this video and knew that it would not be as simple as you made it sound to remove their icon xD. Love to see them standing strong

Honestly that's so friggin cool. I appreciate the modern thought on art as well. It's in the process - not the end result necessarily. I think that's a beautiful thing ❤️
