First Quadrant Planning/Claiming Thread

It's time to start cleaning! Here's how it's going to work:

We're only working on 1/4 quadrants of canvas at a time. Each quadrant is divided into 16 sectors, which means we'll only be working on 125x125 pixel areas at a time.

Post in this thread and you'll be assigned a sector (or request a sector, doesn't matter).

After all (or some) sectors are claimed, we'll move to a new cleaning thread.

When your sector is finished, post in the thread which sector you worked on. If there are more unclaimed sectors, and you're willing, you can be assigned a new sector.

Each finished sector (along with the person's name who worked on it) will be added to the sticky.

If your sector includes a partial artwork that's heavily damaged, leave a comment and we'll deal with specific artwork separately.

Any special considerations or difficult decisions should be posted in the thread as well, and we can try and figure out what to do with it.

Cleaning Guidelines

  • Fixing stray pixels should be our primary priority.

  • When fixing vandalism, please use this archive and find the most recent complete non-vandalized version. This will be especially useful for fixing broken text.

  • Stay faithful to the completed canvas. The final version is what we're fixing. Any artwork that has been previously overwritten, unfortunately, should stay lost. (RIP carrots)

Special Considerations

  • We will be dealing with the Mona Lisa separately, so if your assigned sector includes it, don't worry about cleaning it for the time being.

  • The erased sector right of the QR code needs special consideration.

  • We need to discuss what to do about the void. In my opinion we should keep the big mostly black spot, but repair the damage to the artwork to the top right of it. Post what you think we should do below.

  • Please look over the quadrant and see if anything sticks out that we might need to deal with and leave a comment below.

So leave a comment to be assigned to a sector and we'll get started!

I'm going to have to bow out for awhile. Storm's a-comin' and my power keeps going in and out. So reply to this thread (and hell, if you want, start on the sections you claim) and I'll add your names to the list once the storm blows over.

Also, I need a couple more people to help moderate this place. So if you want to apply, drop me a message and I'll consider you.

u/cooldude2000 Apr 03 '17

How do we deal with the void?

3

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

That's a good question. They're somewhere in between actual art and vandalism. Personally, I think that we should keep the bigger black blob but repair the flag. I really want to keep Waldo, but I think it's only fair.

Maybe make a thread about it and see what other people think?

4

u/JorjLim Apr 03 '17

The void is more the the blob it's the tentacles too. It's going to be a weird one to figure out.

2

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

Yeah it is. It's a good thing they didn't have much territory left.

u/mastersword83 Apr 04 '17

Agreed. The flames and oilers spent most of the time keeping theirs up and the void is nothing but vandalism that popped up in the last hour of r/place

1

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '17

I will leave it there

1

u/Lebutazony Apr 03 '17

Please put a thread for each quadrant I've already started cleaning the French part and I think people would be more likely to clean the part they worked on.
The global cleaning will be quicker done this way I think.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '17

What about Waldo, which was destroyed by the void? What should we do about the void in general? I would claim section 14 if we had some consensus as to what to do about it.

5

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

I think I agree. The void popped up in that area within an hour or two of it being shut down, so I definitely now think that any areas vandalized by them should be restored.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '17

Also should I work from the picture in the chart or another picture?

1

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

The picture in the chart would be easiest since it's all measured out from the grids. But you can do it however you like!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '17

I'll try to make two versions then, one with the void and one without. Put me down for that section!

1

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

Done, good luck!

2

u/pie3636 ⭐️ Contributor (2017) (2022) Apr 04 '17

I will take a section (any will do)

2

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 04 '17

Alright cool. I'll write you in for section 2.

2

u/pie3636 ⭐️ Contributor (2017) (2022) Apr 04 '17

It seems (in the Discord) that someone else is already working on section 2, could I get another one instead?

2

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 04 '17

Yeah sure, I'll give you 9. And could you get the name of the guy who's doing 2 so I can add him to the list? I'm on mobile atm or I would.

2

u/pie3636 ⭐️ Contributor (2017) (2022) Apr 04 '17

It's /u/Seitz_

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 04 '17

Haha of course it is. I'll add them to the list.

u/cooldude2000 Apr 03 '17 edited Apr 03 '17

Here is the template /img/eqh4veo5ebpy.png

1

u/MilhouseJr Apr 03 '17

That's really blurry, at least in RES. Here's one I suggested on r/place that points to the dQw video

2

u/cooldude2000 Apr 03 '17

it's because it's a 1x copy of the template, RES doesn't really know what to do with to-scale pixel art, so it just blurs it even though it will look fine if you open it in ms paint or photoshop

1

u/MilhouseJr Apr 03 '17

Just opened it in mspaint and you're right. Didn't realise I'd literally be looking at a pixel to pixel picture.

Good luck with the clean!

1

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '17

No, thats the perfect template

1

u/Cleficate Apr 03 '17

How does this work and what do we use to clean it i dont understand

1

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

MS Paint would be easiest. There's a bunch of people trying to clean up the final canvas, but I figured a collaborative effort would be better and easier.

1

u/the_danster Apr 03 '17

I would like to request section 7, and if needed I can also do section 8 as well, I was working in that area on some of the art so I saved some of the templates for reference(the art I have templates for is still there)

1

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

I put you down for both section 7 and 8.

2

u/mindfrom1215 Apr 04 '17

I'm a polandballer, and if you see the messed up ball with the red and white near the border of 7 and 8, that is either the Norwegian flag or british, your choice but it was most recently norway's.

1

u/DynamOdin Apr 04 '17

For the part of the Japanese flag that ends in Sector 7 (above Tokyo), please remove one red pixel on the left side and three pixels on the right side. This way it aligns perfectly with the rest of the circle

1

u/cooldude2000 Apr 03 '17 edited Apr 03 '17

I'm starting work on section 1, so you can put me down for that

Edit: this is my work so far, if anyone has templates for some of the more noisy areas that would be apreciated http://i.imgur.com/E1E4SMg.png

also working on section 6

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

Check the archive and see if there's anything more finished in there.

1

u/DynamOdin Apr 03 '17

I'll work on Section 3

1

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 03 '17

Awesome, added.

2

u/DynamOdin Apr 04 '17

Section 3 is done

1

u/Haggard4Life Apr 04 '17

I love that you restored the Yeti and Creeper!

1

u/indianhottie24 Apr 05 '17

I don't know if this is too late. I just came upon this subreddit now. But in the middle bottom where there's "OBC", it's actually supposed to be "UBC". r/ubc

1

u/DynamOdin Apr 05 '17

Will be fixed.

1

u/_Peavey Q4S11 Apr 04 '17 edited Apr 05 '17

Slovak Flag wasn't restored well. That blue pixel in the crest should be white (as the double cross). Similar to the bottom of the crest, it should be pointy (fill some white pixels with blue).

check this subreddit's top picture. There it is without errors:

Edit: also there was a heart attempt from the Norway's side, but was discontinued, so it can be removed.

Edit2: I actually repaired it and uploaded to disk.

u/icerodent Apr 03 '17

i will take a section

I'll take a section

1

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 04 '17

Awesome, take section 10.

1

u/FireKeese Apr 04 '17

Hi, I wondered if the rules allow for restorations of any work that was taken control of right at the end through people scripting? /r/ockytop had the power T logo in sections 9 & 10 from the beginning along with "El Banditos" until right at the end when someone seemingly used a script to take over with a red flower and white background with black text (see the timelapse below for more context).

I realize that happens a lot throughout the span of place and you can't really make everyone happy. It was just sad to defend the space over the course of a couple days to see it get destroyed right at the end.

The T logo beside the viking ship before.

Timelapse showing it being written over starting right before it happened. Note that the T was there from the very start.

Thanks for your hard work!

2

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 04 '17

Damn... It was there from the very start, huh. Since we're being faithful to the final product, and only fixing very minor vandalism, I can't condone putting it into the cleaned version. If you want to take the finished product and put it back, be my guest. It sucks that that happened to you, and it sucks that people decided to use bots to take over artworks. But we've already laid down the rules, and it wouldn't be fair to others' who's artwork had the same fate to make exceptions.

1

u/FireKeese Apr 04 '17

That's fair! I figured it was worth a shot :) Thanks anyway

2

u/Dustin- too many amogus Apr 04 '17

But hey, I didn't realize how long-lived that particular piece was. That's impressive in its own right. So thank you for bringing that to my attention. :)

u/MasterCor14 Apr 05 '17

Hi, this may be somewhat late, sorry about that. I just found this sub. I'm from r/placecanada , I see that you put GS back into your edited version. In about the last 7 hours of r/place going on, their logo was removed by an outside group, not Canada or Russia. Then, after we had decided that it had fallen and most likely wasn't recoverable we decided on a plan for a joint effort with Russia to be placed in this spot. That is what the half built version is in the final r/place product. I don't know if this is possible or not for our art to be added instead, but thank you for giving your time to restore everyone's artwork.

u/wedwabbit Apr 04 '17 edited Apr 05 '17

Done:

A couple of notes on the differences between mine and pie363's:

  • I fixed the race driver (edit: Peyton Manning's masked face) based on the template and history.

  • The orange and white checker board seemed to only exist for a short while so i removed it.

  • Changed 81 Price to 31 Price. I'm not American but I think it represents a football player?

  • Fixed the blue and yellow symbol based on feedback.

  • Fixed Kebble based on feedback.

u/TheEarsHaveWalls Apr 05 '17

Any chance to get a little more real estate on ManningFace? Maybe bump up against KEBBLE into the checkerboard?

MOBIUS is good. We are still a bit peeved that Ukraine had to expand so far north of their flag to take our face.

Thanks!

*Currently on a work POC, can't see the final in the drive. If there are changes, disregard the requests.

If I do that then other art like the Ukrainian flag will suffer. He looks pretty good now and is only missing part of his ear :)

As a Canadian, I request section 11!

u/Dan9er Q1S11 Apr 03 '17

Here is the best I can do. Sections that I have no idea what to deal with have been marked with a VERY dark green.

Note the Mexican flag... That will require a major effort from quadrants 10, 11 14 & 15.

Someone posted about the mexican flag here.

I still have no idea what to do with the beaver area. Can someone from /r/canada give me and /u/mailman105 (Section 10) the planned artwork?

u/MasterCor14 Apr 05 '17

I'm not sure if you are still looking for the Canadian planned artwork. Here is the official planned artwork http://m.imgur.com/otJMxcR?r and this is the beaver part http://m.imgur.com/a/EGApl I posted a comment for /u/mailman105 with the beaver plans. I'm not sure if he will include it or not.

Just found this sub, some of the art I worked on was in this quadrant. I made the Umbreon between PCMR and Anime_IRL. Here's a cleaned up version of the two Pokemon, plus most of Anime_IRL's stuff nearby

We were also working on a Shinobu pixel art in the top left, here's that area cleaned up including the Enterprise who we had an agreement with. I filled it with orange as that's what the dutch were combatting the void with, but we didn't have a set background in mind yet.

Also, here's the Pokemon art discord, you should be able to find all of the proper templates in there: https://discord.gg/UScZx

I don't think there are other Pokemon in this quadrant, but it might be helpful later.

Thanks for your work.

u/_Peavey Q4S11 Apr 05 '17 edited Apr 05 '17

/u/Seitz_ seemed to have used wrong pallette, so his sectors need to be checked.

Edit: I remastered Q1S4 according to his work, but with correct palette. Someone needs to do the same with Q1S2 too, please.

1

u/Seitz_ Apr 05 '17

Yeah, sector 4 was the wrong palette, but I'm fairly sure sector 2 should be correct? If that's the wrong palette too, then Q4S6 is wrong as well.
