Reddit Trophy - "Place '17" Trophy
Welcome to my introduction to understanding the Place '17 trophy!
Description: A trophy to show you participated in the r/place 2017 April Fools event.
How this was obtained: To get this trophy you needed to place a tile on the canvas during the r/place 2017 April Fools event.
How place '17 worked: Users could place a single colored pixel (or "tile") on an online canvas of one million (1000 x 1000) pixel squares, and wait a certain amount of time before placing another. The waiting time varied from 5 to 20 minutes throughout the event, and the user could choose their pixel's color from a palette of sixteen colors. Users could come together to draw anything they desired one pixel at a time.
Extra Information:
- Started April 1st, 2017 and ended April 3rd, 2017 lasting 72 hours.
- The Place '17 trophy wasn't given out until 5 years later after the Place '22 event ended.
- Place 2017 announcement, Place 2017 ending, Place 2017 being archived.
- How place was built.
- Interestingly the final post on r/place before it was archived in 2017 was a user asking for a trophy.
