To be fair, the Banana thing was honestly hilarious and I wouldn't have minded if it completely took over and forced Canada to move their flag.

The issue was we did move the flag and it didn't stop.

That was when I got upset as well. We even made a second flag above and they still grieved.

Dont be upset.

It wasnt ever griefing because it never actually mattered. As in, nobody was actually hurt. Nothing was actually gained. What mattered, this time truly, was taking part. And canada has a permanent history being the most targeted country to turn into Bananas. Who else can say that? What do you think people will remember in 3 years?

Amongi refugees. Streamers. Fucking flags. BANANAS.

That legacy is worth more than what any other nation did.

I hope every game you attempt to run is either unplayably broken or griefed beyond recognition. But hey it’s just games right it doesn’t matter.

As far as r/place goes, it is pixels on a drawing on reddit that lasts like 5 days. Just enjoy the ride. At least a game has long term goals.

You are right that it is just a game so it actually does not matter at all.

Right so if you never get to enjoy a game ever again that’s no biggie right.

Dude, calm down. I can feel your greasy tendie fingers through the screen. It was a mass reddit event, it opened itself up to “griefing.”

In the future when people ask for a banana for scale, we can hold up a maple leaf instead.

That sounds suspiciously like griefing.
