The Blue Corner is a faction that began in r/place 2017 and re-appeared in r/place 2022. The goal of the faction is to make the bottom-right corner of the canvas blue, a goal it achieved in both events.
r/place 2017
Creation
The blue corner was one of the earliest structures on the canvas only being predated by the Green Box. A subreddit was quickly established for the community, r/BlueCorner; this subreddit and it's corresponding discord server would direct the affairs of the Blue Corner for a significant part of the Canvas's history.
The Blue Empire Period
The Blue Corner quickly expanded during the first day of r/place until they took up 1/8th of the canvas. Besides their main territory in the bottom right of the Canvas, the Blue Corner also owned a small territory near the center of the canvas and the top left corner of the canvas. This expansion caused the Blue Corner to make many enemies including the purple, green, and red corners, Erase the place, and most notably the streamer Destiny who would end the Blue Empire.
The Purple Corner Revolt
The Blue Corner colony in the top left was eventually the site of a massive rebellion as people banded together to fight back against the Blue Corner by placing Purple pixels in the top-left corner. This revolt was successful and the Blue Corner was never able to reconquer the top-left corner.
The Green and Red Corner
