The most successful of these occurred on the east part of the expansive [[Ukraine|Ukranian flag]], with the completed sprite remaining for several hours. It would even have a bunch of white flowers placed around it for a short time, referencing the Sky Garden in Yume Nikki. In the end, a white blob would envelop part that part of the flag, including Mado. | ||
There were other attempts to add Madotsuki onto the campus that didn't last as long. The most notable example was a miniature version of Mado built on the west side of the Ukraine flag rather than the east, later being deleted to make room for new artwork themed specifically around Ukraine.

[[File:Art Yume Nikki 2022 Ver 1.png|thumb|160px|The first draft of the section.]]After the canvas first expanded, there would be a new attempt to create Madotsuki around the top left corner of the new quadrant. This attempt was far more successful and would remain her general position for the vast majority of r/place 2022. Additional space right of her was later used to add Urotsuki from Yume 2kki, a well-renowned fanmade sequel to Yume Nikki. She initially suffered from severe bot attacks before later being reclaimed and rebuilt. There was initial confrontation between Yume Nikki and the [[Detroit Red Wings]], but after a short scuffle the two would soon form a close alliance that would remain for the remainder of the event, with Madotsuki and Urotsuki being moved down slightly to accommodate the Red Wings logo. The uneven space to the left of the two girls was then filled by hiragana spelling out the title of the game (ゆめにっき, or "Dream Diary"). | [[File:Art Yume Nikki 2022 Ver 1.png|thumb|160px|The first draft of the section.]]After the canvas first expanded, there would be a new attempt to create Madotsuki around the top left corner of the new quadrant.

There was a short-lived attempt to recreate the rug from Madotsuki's apartment in Yume Nikki below the section for Omori in the bottom right quadrant after the final canvas expansion, but it didn't gain enough traction to come to fruition. This section was soon abandoned to focus on defending the main artwork. There were also several attempts to add other characters from Yume Nikki on parts of the canvas, including the mysterious entity Uboa, that also never came about. | There was a short-lived attempt to recreate the rug from Madotsuki's apartment in Yume Nikki below the section for Omori in the bottom right quadrant after the final canvas expansion, but it didn't gain enough traction to come to fruition.

While managing to avoid some of the bigger attacks from the likes of [[xQc]] or [[The Void]] due to the relatively remote position, there were several large attacks that occurred either near or on top of Yume Nikki. The first of these occurred from the streamer ___, who chose to expand his section twice over the course of the event. The first expansion mostly didn't affect Yume Nikki, but the second attack would lead to a clash between the two that would end with most of Sabitsuki being erased in the conflict. After a strong defense, Yume Nikki would manage to hold on from the attack, with ___'s attention being turned toward the [[Taiwan]] independence flag. After the attack subsided, the two allies would work together to repair the damage from the attack, with things seeming to go back to the status quo. | While managing to avoid some of the bigger attacks from the likes of [[xQc]] or [[The Void]] due to the relatively remote position, there were several large attacks that occurred either near or on top of Yume Nikki.

After these attacks, Yume Nikki was able to remain in relative peace up until the [[The Great Whiteout|Great Whiteout]]. The section managed to remain for a decent chunk of time, with a number of Yume Nikki fans making jokes about the protagonists' looking similar to a number of Effects in their home games. | After these attacks, Yume Nikki was able to remain in relative peace up until the [[The Great Whiteout|Great Whiteout]].

Yume Nikki ended up forming a very close alliance with [[Taiwan]], who built the Taiwan independence flag right below the final section used by Yume Nikki. The two would end up becoming very close with one another, helping to defend during later attacks. r/taiwan was also allied with the Indie Alliance after taking notice of their new neighbors and sending diplomats over to the alliance's Discord server. | Yume Nikki ended up forming a very close alliance with [[Taiwan]], who built the Taiwan independence flag right below the final section used by Yume Nikki.

The [[Detriot Red Wings]] would end up becoming one of the strongest allies with Yume Nikki. The two initially had small fights over the border between where the two both wanted to build, with the bottom of the Red Wings logo overlapping the top of Mado's head. After this confusion was noticed, there was a deliberate effort to gradually move Madotsuki's sprite down in order to give the Red Wings more space. The two groups took notice of each other after this, with them helping to defend against attacks on each other for the remainder of the event. Later on, a heart was formed between the two to signify their friendship. While initially a little more elaborate in design, it evolved into a simple red heart by the end of the event. | The [[Detriot Red Wings]] would end up becoming one of the strongest allies with Yume Nikki.

While not as proactive as the above, an alliance was formed between Yume Nikki and their neighbors to the right, [[Ireland]]. A huge flag had been formed next to the new territory, with the two seeking to meet on good terms early on.
