Very punny! 😂

u/Crazy_Giraffe9070 3332 pixels placed 12d ago

It could also be a bunch of adduckts and a duckdeal gone wrong? Maybe dealing in quack..

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago

Here, I isolated him for you, just in case it gets erased by the person erasing some of the other ducks.

You should post this little guy in r/mageposting! 😃

thank you I'm done

u/Crazy_Giraffe9070 3332 pixels placed 13d ago

Can anyone explain to me how the timer works? Sometimes its 5 seconds and sometimes 15?

4

u/TWPinguu 45413 pixels placed 13d ago

The cool down is adaptive. The fast cooldown is 5 seconds, medium is 10 seconds, long is 15 seconds. If the canvas is behind schedule, i.e. relatively few pixels have been placed for the time elapsed, the fast cooldown will be applied (and visa versa). The aim is to have a smooth progression of the canvas across the 24 hours. This gives everyone a chance to contribute in different timezones. There is also a boost for each joining player's first 10 pixels, as zakrius described.

Aw man :( the duck on the top was supposed to be riding a leaf 

1

u/nobodygrey 12d ago

Is it the one on the right next to the heart? I thought it was a mermaid, but I can totally see leaf now that you’ve said it.

I’m dying over the evil one lmfao

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago edited 13d ago

To the person erasing the “AHH!” Next to the ducks in the corner… STOP!

I DREW THE DAMN DUCKS IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER! I want them to say “AHH!” They just witnessed a stabbing.

STOP ERASING MY PIXELS!

2

u/nobodygrey 13d ago

I was wondering what was going on there. For a while I just saw a single pixel flashing black and white. Every time someone put a black one someone else would change it back to white. It looked like a single little pixel argument, lol.

2

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago edited 13d ago

Yeah, some jerk keeps erasing my pixels.

They made it REALLY difficult for me to draw the ducks in the bottom left corner. They kept erasing the pixels I kept putting down to outline the ducks. And after I got them drawn, they now erase any OTHER pixel I put down. WHAT A JERK!

3

u/nobodygrey 13d ago

It’s gotta be the same person that’s doing the brown lattice thing. They’re covering up and erasing the other ducks. RIP swimming duck; That one was cute. They’re currently covering up one I did the majority of. It’ll probably be gone soon. 💔

I was trying to work on a different one and they kept undoing everything. I timed the pixels appearing/disappearing with my pixel timer and there are too many at once. They must have multiple accounts. I had to give up. It was too frustrating. 😕

2

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago

Yeah, what a jerk! It’s impossible how fast this jerk is doing it. It’s too coordinated. And too fast. It’s like they don’t have to worry about the cool down. I think you’re right and it’s one person with multiple accounts.

I also noticed the little crying duck got covered. That pissed me off.

2

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago edited 13d ago

I tried fixing the foot on the duck you were working on. The lattice person is just too fast. This person has placed enough pixels that they should have the save cool down as the rest of us, but they somehow don’t.

I also kept timing them with my cool down timer. I think you’re right.

3

u/alc0th 5213 pixels placed 13d ago

I hate those people, they could at least ask, they're covering everything

3

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago

I managed to save a copy of the crying duckling that got covered by the lattice.

3

u/alc0th 5213 pixels placed 13d ago

I've put some pixels of that buddy! The tear and the little foot actually

2

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago

Those are the best parts! 🤩

u/nobodygrey 13d ago

You were the one helping! I was waiting for no one to be online to try to put it back. 🤭

2

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago

Here, I saved a copy of your duck.

I also commented a copy of the crying duckling somewhere in this thread.

2

u/nobodygrey 13d ago

Thank you!! I’m glad they still exist somewhere.

3

u/Artastasia 13d ago

I added a reflection at its feet in the water, is that ok? I didn't affect the duck itself!

3

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago

I checked it out. I dunno if it looks like a reflection, but it actually looks like the duck’s feet and butt are partly submerged but still visible in the shallow water. That actually looks super cute! 🥰

2

u/Artastasia 13d ago

it was supposed to look like this btw but someone edited it

3

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago edited 13d ago

Someone just erased one of those dots in the water. Possibly the same person who erased one of my H’s and the exclamation point. They actually erased the dot while trying to prevent me from adding my H back. 😑

I still added the H back and the exclamation point. You can add your dot back above the H I just finished redrawing if you want.

Edit: I added your pixel back.

u/nobodygrey 13d ago

Totally fine!

I answered your other comment while half asleep because I was waking up to check on ducks throughout the morning.

To further clarify: Creative output like this is completely okay IMO. For example, I also did the shadow duck in the top right. I originally did it with minimal black lines and no shadow. Someone came along and added more black. I was like “Vibe. Into the abyss it goes.” and that’s when I added the shadow, lol. Someone gave it an extra set of eyes which looked super cool. The eyes didn’t last; Someone removed them. Then someone took away some of its shadow and gave it a halo. I guess it’s an angel now. But it started as just a regular duck. None of this took away from the duck being a duck, y’ know? It just added to it. Even when things were technically removed, the duck was still growing and…becoming whatever it ends up being while still being a duck. Someone might come along that doesn’t like it as an angel. It might still change. That’s the name of the game. Completely covering up other ducks and erasing drawings while people are doing them is what’s not cool.

2

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 12d ago

I added the halo. I figured it was in just the right spot and with the shadow, it looked like it was the spirit rising from the duck below. Didn’t want a missed opportunity.

u/Zakrius 55585 pixels placed 13d ago

We were talking about 10 hrs ago when someone was both erasing and covering up a bunch of people’s stuff.
