TransPlace

TransPlace
Name	TransPlace
AKA	r/transplace
Description	TransPlace was originally formed as a centralised area for transgender individuals to co-ordinate their art. The subreddit was moved over to a discord to allow for far easier co-ordination, and kept open after the event. In 2023 the decision was made to continue using this subreddit and discord for r/place 2023, and so preparation began for more artwork to be made.

TransPlace represents the transgender community, which is considered a minority. It is important to represent the people within this community and the things that they stand for. While original intentions were to make a trans flag, this evolved to including popular artwork and references such as the blahaj. 2023 TransPlace focussed heavily on representing smaller but supportive communities, while still supporting art made within the community.

r/place 2022

The following actually pertains to 2023, I have no idea how to change the year

Some Art

Main article: Some Art

Some Art was a piece of artwork that some community made depicting a thing.

Alliances

The following alliances are listed in the rough order of which the alliances were formed, or the artwork was created with the exception of Pikmin and P3ACE being the other way around.

PlacePride

TransPlace's biggest and oldest alliance during 2023 was with PlacePride. This alliance was formed as soon as PlacePride owner and overlay creator Mikarific reached out and showed evidence of r/place happening again, intending to re-ignite the alliance that happened during 2022.

This alliance evolved over time to the joining of P3ACE, creating a network of allies that TransPlace could collaborate with to ensure a starting position on the canvas. The original goal was for TransPlace to create the top border of P3ACE as a whole, with PlacePride directly underneath. In the initial chaos of the overlay not functioning as intended, PlacePride were unable to secure their spot underneath in time, despite efforts from TransPlace to relocate the entire flag to accommodate them.

Because of this mix-up, TransPlace and PlacePride decided to effectively join forces, and created several artworks with the combined forces of their community. During the first expansion, the first pride flag was formed and sustained. during the Second expansion the second trans flag and pride flags were formed next to each other, forming the united flag that would become home to many pieces of art and alliances. Due to this shift the decision was made to stop maintenance of the now progress flag, which was later adopted by communities such as placebutlgbt and egass.

TransPlace kept their TransPlace Logo on the original flag but their pin on the new one, whereas PridePlace left both the PlacePride Logo and pin on the new flags.

In the third expansion an effort was made to collaborate with Geometry Dash on the Pride Barcodes however this did not end up being successful.

The fourth expansion brought a revival to the barcode project, and the land was successfully acquired and maintained for several hours until several streamers tried to create issues despite multiple expansions.

Pikmin

The second formal alliance assumed by TransPlace was with the r/pikmin community, although it took several hours for successful communication between the two groups.

The alliance formed after the relocation of the trans flag would have gone over the existing Pikmin artwork, and after several internal discussions about whether or not to remove it or go around it as well as early attempts to remove it the decision was made to allow the art to stay. This decision was re-enforced after the main r/pikmin community lost their official artwork in another location.

Throughout multiple expansions the pikmin were able to provide support to TransPlace, both through helping to create new art and through maintaining the original flag which was monumental for redirecting the larger TransPlace resources.

During the first few expansions there was a lot of back and forth between the hiveminds of both communities including some bad-faith actors going between both communities to intentional cause issues. This stabilised over time, and the pikmin stopped growing into the original flag and the original flag kept to the border that was created.

Alliances with no border or shared artwork

The following are officialised alliances who did not necessarily share a border or artwork, but did contribute to our upkeep or otherwise provide support to us or our allies

Psuedo-alliances

The following are alliances with which very little communication occurred, however support was given from or to TransPlace despite this.
