I Allied with Sweden to Save the Maryland Flag!

- Опубліковано 9 бер 2018
- Somebody's Reddit comment made me realize that I don't think I emphasized the community aspect of /r/place enough. I played but one small part in the unfolding story that was /r/place and more specifically the relationship between /r/maryland and /r/sweden. I merely acted as a catalyst for the collective efforts of many, and I want to acknowledge and thank all the Marylanders and Swedes that participated!
As a postscript, I actually found out while getting assets for this video that I may have actually forged real-life friendships between Marylanders and Swedes--there were sightings of Marylanders with the /r/place Swedish flag as a bumper sticker, and at least one Swede said they planned to visit Maryland! It's crazy how your actions can have consequences like that!
(I actually wasn't as involved with the Maryland flag after the post on /r/Sweden--I was also defending /r/mylittlepony's Rainbow Dash. But that's outside the scope of this story.)

As a side note, I think with each video I do nowadays, my editing skills are noticeably improving. And I've been productive on the video front: I've made seven videos this year so far! - Фільми й анімація
My favorite is still the German and French flags intersecting at the EU
Mine's dashie....
As a Swede, never been much for the EU. But seeing the love between Maryland, Norway, and Sweden.. M-hm! :D
Akillesursinne Scandinavian love c:
Mine is the Swiss flag in the Mona Lisa.
Oh yeah, and the hearts! Especially the rainbow hearts.
1:05 thats cool how the rainbow road used portals so they don't destroy the creation in front of the road
The Red Arrow and how the rainbow reflected off Link’s shield
Those portals ultimately saved the rainbow road from the final attack from the void that destroyed Waldo and the surrounding area.
Tfw you live in a Swedish colony now
bruh
Tfw as a colony you get a better education system than as a state
3:04 "I continued defending against trolls" very Swedish of you.
: o I didn't even make that connection!
As a Pennsylvanian (a former sweedish colony and we still use blue and yellow as state colors) i congratulated you on your diplomacy.
This is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen on the internet! Damn, i really hope something this creative pops up on reddit again.
Skål!
Every year they try and do something new sometimes it fails, other times it turns into the largest social experiment to ever be conducted. It’s interesting all the same.
@@chasecollins3263 they did it this year it was amazing!
2:06 as a german that was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
I like the EU flag they eventually made in the intersection myself.
2:02 AGAIN?
Ja mein friend
We need to create r/SweMaryland
Edit:
r/maryden is probably better
Yeah
Neville
Swedyland
Sweland

@@Pusheeen_ I've been to both actually :)
This is SO over-the-top...
And I love it! Friendly greetings from Sweden!
It’s like you’re a WW2 solider coming back from war and telling his story!
The Great Pixel War Of 2018.
Kakoolie Productions 2017*
Reddit is a strange place, but a cool one none the less
Great video dude
haha, this is exactly why I started to learn swedish, and now I’m doing an exchange semester there! fell in love with the place after 2017 and now here we are. lots of love from ocean city!
Oh shit, that was you! I was prepared to fight Sweden to the bitter end but your democracy saved our flag! Thank you, you saved our asses years ago.
I like how for a brief second in the giant black void there’s the dark side of the moon triangle
this made me proud to be a Marylander
The Iron Wolf HD Same dude same. I feel like we're under appreciated a lot of the time.
The Iron Wolf HD faxx
Not a Marylander but I'm a Pennsylvanian. I've been to Maryland many times and I really enjoy the state.
Knowing that sweden saved my state and pewdiepie is swedish and im 9 i am so proud TwT
The Iron Wolf HD same and i’m even british
I always liked that flag.
I thought the hearts placed either side of it cluttered an already busy design, but if they were the price of saving it then it was a price worth paying.
Anyway, as a former Place diplomat (played a key role in the reconstruction of Starry Night), I salute your efforts. They will be forever rewarded in the final canvas.
Wholesome! As a Swede, I accept you as a fellow Swede and am glad your flag was not erased.
New Maryland discord leader here: Major thanks to this man's contribution 5 years ago. Not only did he save us then, but he saved us now. We have over 600 proud Marylanders in our server who got to see their flag until the end. I agree with all points made and cannot emphasize enough how important communities and alliances are. They are the lifeblood of r/place and I am so happy to have been a part of it. Big thanks to Sweden for their help and a shout out to our German friends in Augsburg.

See how much the canvas has changed since your last visit. It's time to pIace a new tiIe.

"...that had no bearing on real life"

Wholesome
This is actually fucking adorable.
2 nd r place when?
The void had another meaning.
They were teamed up with a small faction called ying yang.
We were working with ying yang to create a fully black canvas and they would then make another side white
Anyone else getting all of this stuff in your recommendations?
What a legend, thanks for helping to save the flag of the place I live in currently.
Yay, this was a beautiful story
I am a proud Marylander

Viva La Maryland
Maryland, an American state, a Liberian colony, and a Swedish ally
Thanks for saving my country in r/place
I remember dis
Greece, however, was not so lucky getting stuck smack dab in the middle of the Sweden-Norway Border.
There should be an app like this
Love from Salisbury
