    That German flag intersecting with the french flag and creating arte was kinda sweet. Arte is a joint tv channel between the two countries and part of the initiative to foster friendship between them after ww2.

      It is also the best, most qualitative, channel I know of. So, at least of France, probably of Germany too.
      People have a dear place in their heart for Arte because it feeds us culture and intelligence.

      Weirdly enough it is the German TV channel with the best online and UA-cam presence. That's weird because it was considered to be more of a channel for older people or people interested in Art and Culture. Not a Channel that was very appealing for younger people. But I must admit that I really live their UA-cam videos

      It was a bit better in 2017 because there weren't any established unwritten rules or coordination between communities early on. So the French and German flags happened to intersect and there was a lot of fighting over who would be on top in that spot. But then, the EU flag emerged.

      How is that ignorant? Online content creation isn't overwriting other peoples work with your own, there's an infinite space for your own content; r/place is very finite, and so it allows for that behavior and encourages it. The whole point is that everything is temporary on the canvas and is subject to constant evolution or change from other communities. xQc happens to have one of the biggest active communities, so naturally he can change a lot at once. The entire idea of larger communities making more change happen is completely natural and so is other communities fighting against it.

    It wasn’t just Miz who was at war with the brony faction. Other major streamers like asmongold and xqc also launched multiple attacks on our art pieces. In fact, the bronies were actually one of the few factions who survived the attacks of xqc’s army. We were getting constantly attacked by streamers, to the point where by the end of the event we had been hit by a total of 22 major attacks (not little strikes, full blown warfare). We kept getting pelted by some of the strongest attackers of the event, yet we managed to survive and rebuild every single time and make it all the way to the end. We definitely had a harder and more chaotic run than most of the other factions, but I’d say it was worth it just to prove to those streamers that we were one enemy they wouldn’t defeat. Thanks for your contributions to the canvas Ludwig, and thank you for not abusing your power to attack other people’s art like a lot of other streamers did.

I can admit that I had never watched xQc before, but I joined him to void out some space at one point because death brings new life.

      That's because we had a way better organisation, we were separated in wave of viewer classed by what season we are born in, for example I was in the summer army, every 5min everyone from the summer and winter army put a pixel, then it rotates to the two other season 5min later over and over meaning we had no downtime and an even amount of viewer putting pixel non stop, Americans and Spanish just put everything at once and had to wait to recharge, while they were waiting we were just trying to rebuild the outside of our art not the inside to not lose the general aspect of our art and affect the moral of the ennemies making them back off at some point, then we were able to fully recover our art, and on top of that we had a lot of pride hiding behind that because french people are known to surrender easily - which is false - and foreign streamers kept saying that at some point we were going to sleep and surrender and while we were sleeping they could just annihilate our art but like I said out of pride litteraly everyone were ready to stay up all night and even the day after to make the opponent surrender and we succeeded
      There was even a special task force on the command of another streamer called ZeratoR which had only one role him and his viewer to destroy all the small art the opponent community made which mean we were constantly defending our art and attacking a bit of the other art everywhere making the opponent disoriented not knowing what to do
      In the end like I said we just had a better organisation fighting this pixel war even while being outnumbered by a lot, thx to our general in command Kameto and all the other streamers who wouldn't back down no matter what we came out on top 💪
