Taiwan began its r/place journey in 2022 following a post by u/gsdeman on r/Taiwan<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/taiwan/comments/ttrhau/taiwan_flag_on_rplace/</ref>. A subsequent "red blob" was initialized by u/skyblocker804 at (942, 568)<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/taiwan/comments/ttrhau/comment/i2zknui/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>, and an initial design of a flag of Taiwan (ROC) was created shortly after<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/taiwan/comments/ttshci/heres_my_plan_on_taiwanese_flag_on_rplace_22x34/</ref>. Shortly after, u/wusterdam_www (wusterdam) created a Discord server to coordinate Taiwan's efforts on r/place, with u/howardt12345 (ht12345) being the second person to join. AvocadosConstant joined shortly after, establishing a Google Sheets with the proposed design for better coordination. | |||

The current owner of the r/placeTW Discord server | The current owner of the r/placeTW Discord server, ht12345, began preparations for the a potential 2023 r/place on March 24th, 2023<ref>https://discord.com/channels/959467908315111444/960883198928244806/1088903499770761227</ref> after being informed of the rumors the week prior. This next r/place event was labeled "202X" in the Discord server due to his skepticism of the legitimacy of the rumors, as well as some reluctance to believe that a repeat of r/place would happen so soon<ref>https://discord.com/channels/959467908315111444/959467908982013974/1087607533495144478</ref>.

Preliminary alliances, negotiations, and channels of contact were established with other communities by ht12345.

Approximately a day after r/place started, a flag of Japan was noticed to appear at (316,158). It was quickly joined by a flag of South Korea to the left of it. Members from [[r/china place]] sought to establish a flag of Taiwan beside South Korea, which was completed shortly after. However, this led to a dispute between the Taiwan and Korea communities, as Korea originally planned to give the space to their left to a Tunisian flag. The Taiwan community was mostly in favor of Taiwan giving up its flag there, however there was slight opposition to the consensus by a member of the discord. The first canvas expansion happened shortly after, diverting everyone's attention away from the area and leading to the flag of Taiwan staying in that area. | Approximately a day after r/place started, a flag of Japan was noticed to appear at (316,158).

Taiwan served as a mediator role between the two communities in their dispute, who both proposed that Taiwan give the flag at that location to Mongolia. Significant amounts of time were spent by a representative of the Taiwan community to negotiate a favorable solution for all parties, but eventually conceded to the original proposed solution in exchange for significant amounts of support for Taiwan. While met with limited opposition, Taiwan's community unaminously voted in favor of giving the flag to Mongolia, with 106 in favor and 0 against<ref>https://discord.com/channels/959467908315111444/959523971726966845/960415075850666045</ref>. | ||
In the end, after some instability in the region, Taiwan was able to successfully give the flag to Mongolia with the help of a Mongolian streamer. On the final version of r/place, a heart in the design of the flag of Taiwan can be found under the flag of Mongolia, as part of the tribute to Ukraine. | In the end, after some instability in the region, Taiwan was able to successfully give the flag to Mongolia with the help of a Mongolian streamer.

Taiwan's r/place community decided early on to forego overlays and bots and instead used [https://sheets.google.com/ Google Sheets] as the primary method of design and coordination. Cells on the table were made to be square, and colored in manually. The first row and column of a table were used to show the y and x axis coordinates of a given pixel. Every time a new design was finalized, it was sent in a dedicated announcements channel in the Discord. This method proved to be effective enough that it was used by Taiwan until the very end. | Taiwan's r/place community decided early on to forego overlays and bots and instead used [https://sheets.google.com/ Google Sheets] as the primary method of design and coordination.
