[R/PLACE] rdrama.net advertising operation [UPDATE: POLL INSIDE]

BE AWARE unless otherwise specified all dates in this post are given in UTC time.

Hello comrades! Good morning east burgers! Good night west burgers! And good evening eurochads, africanx, italianx, asianx and chinxs!

What we know

On 2022-04-01T13:00:00Z Reddit will re-open /r/place for a few day until 2021-04-05T01:00:00Z [1]. I think this is a perfect opportunity to advertise the platform and to generate some reaction both in the chadmins :marseyjanny: and in our dear anti-hate colleagues :marseytrans2: :bardfinn:

:#marseyhacker:

We know that Pajeets :marseytunaktunak: have worked to make /r/place more resilient to «automation [ :marseyfuckoffcarp: ] and will be able to quickly identify bad actors and block them from the experience»[2], so almost certainly the old APIs [3] no longer work and we'll have to do the job by hand without the use of the old bots, at least for the first few hours; also it is advisable to avoid use multiple accounts, at least from the same IP and/or browser identity, to avoid triggering those anti-bad-actors mechanisms imho.

We don't know if they changed any other technical detail of the platform (well, I don't want to read 3k+ sarcastic comments from the average redditor :marseysnoo: to find out). We can assume the following [3]:

the canvas will be 1000x1000 in size
an user can place a new pixel every 5 minutes
the palette use a special 4 bit encode, so only 16 colours (or colors ) are available. You can find the palette mapped to a normal RGB space here [4]

EDIT: If you've any other intelligence infos regarding the new state of place, report in the comments! I'll add it to this section. :marseyglow:

The plan

:#marseypainter:

Considering that /r/place will be filled with actors constantly competing to get some canvas' space and considering that it would be improbable to have more than 50 rdrama's übersoldaten at a given time working to conquer the canvas; we should limit the target area as much as possible and also the target area should be far away from the hotspots, that are the borders of the canvas and its centre (or center :!marseypatriot: )

:#marseypixel: :#marseyschrodinger:

So here's my idea: a 32x46 art featuring Marsey the cat :marseythumbsup: , rdrama url :marseylaptop: and the trans flag :trans: !

Assuming no attacks from other factions, 50 rdrama's übersoldaten should be able to complete the 1472 pixels composing the image in around 2.5 hours.

I'll suggest to place the upper left corner of the artwork at coordinates 800 horizontal, ~~800~~ 400 vertical of the canvas. If y'all are happy with the proposal I'll make a map/table featuring the coordinates of each pixel.

In the unlikely case that our honourable mujāhidīn will be able to hold position for a prolonged period of time, we could start expanding the flag horizontally increasing the artwork's visibility.

You can download the Krita file from [5], remember to use the colors from the r/place palette (open the palette docker first), it should be incorporated in the document itself otherwise download it from [4]

[ NEW! ] HELPER TOOLS

:#marseytaliban: :#marseyhacker2: :#!marseytaliban:

In this section I'll add tools to aid the honourable mujāhidīn in their struggle on the canvas

Map navigator

I've wrote this simple js script to aid the honourable mujāhidīn on the battlefield: https://drtransmisia.github.io/pixelmap/

You can load a pixel art, insert the target coordinates of the canvas and it will generate a map of the pixels. Hover the cursor on a cell of the table to get a tooltip containing the coordinates of that pixel. Use the button COMPUTE OPTION A to load the proposal A otherwise you can upload a custom file.

F.A.Q.

You art sucks!

Yes. I know, I drawn it during a boring ~~lecture~~ surgery. Feel free to propose a better artwork, remember to use the limited palette and to keep the area lower, no more than 2k pixels I'll say.

Not your personal army!

Yes. I just wanted to propose something funny to do together.
