History[edit]
Pre-Alliance: 01 April 2022[edit]
On Friday, April 1st, Reddit user u/yikesxX1000 posted a pixel-art design of the Stony Brook University logo of a shield onto r/SBU[1], asking for other students to add the logo on r/place. As a result of this, several SBU students began to form the first version of the logo, located at (277, 136); next to Homestuck and the Nordic Union. At the same time, the Discord server for ANYI was formed, but it was exclusively for only SBU students.
While the shield was built, an agreement with Homestuck was reached to continue to build in the location. However, there was never an agreement struck with the Nordic Union.
That night, the Stony Brook logo was completed.[2] Unfortunately, a few hours later, the logo was taken over[3] by the Nordic Union.
