'''ioanBG''', also '''Ioan XXXVIII''' is a Bulgarian pxls.space user who is currently the Admiral of the [[Chromatic Empire]], the Marshal of the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]], the Lesser King of [[Lesser Kingdom of Magenta|Magenta]] and the Prince of [[Principality of Bulgaria Pxls|Bulgaria Pxls]] and [[Aqua]]. He has been active in the pxls community since early 2020, with varying degrees of involvement.

[[Canvas 32]] was the first canvas ioanBG made art on, starting by making a tiny tardis at the rear leg of the cat. Right after that, a user suggested making the giant Slovenian flag into a Bulgarian one. Ioan, being a massive patriot, of course accepted. They were quickly stopped by the slovenian faction under the leadership of TheIncredibleHulk21 and decided to make a bulgarian flag elsewhere. The location chosen was near the head of the cat. Each stripe of the flag was made 6 pixels tall. After that, the same user suggested griefing the slovenian flag yet again, this time by making it into a russian. Progress was made until the faction responded and later on griefed the small flag. Ioan then suggested making a brand-new flag, this time with each stripe being 7 pixels tall. This worked on fairly well until ioan's only friend left. His final suggestion was to expand the flag from one end to another. Ioan thought that would be a good propaganda move and so he started the long, hard task all by himself. Around that time he introduced one of his friends to pxls.

At the same time as the flag, he also created some arts, such as 3 star destroyers, a text saying ,,anus" with an arrow pointing at the rectum of the cat that was the canvas, and a dalek with text saying ,,Exterminate!" underneath. All these side projects meant that, despite introducing 2 of his IRL friends at the last day, the flag did not reach the end of the canvas. This however paved the way for [[canvas 33]]

On c33 ioan joined actual factions for the first time, starting with [[France Pxls]] (which he eventually got ownership of in [[canvas 38]]), and even created one, [[Bulgaria Pxls]]. In recent canvases, he has used the faction title more symbollically, as it is basically in a state of coma.

ill continue this later lol
The reset came when both loan and his 2 friends were online, which meant that a lot of things could be made. Although the decisions between the friends were made "democratically" he acted as the de facto leader, since he had been on the site for more than a month and already had 10k pixels. Before his friends joined he made the same small star destroyer as he had previously. After that the group decided to make a flag with each stripe being 8 pixels tall. Ioan's original idea was for it to be around the middle of the canvas, but border conflicts with KB meant he had to move lower. The group decided to run the flag through the canvas from one end to another in a display of patriotism. The task was not easy for people as new and inactive as them, and was filled with assimilating other small arts. There was conflict at the swedish flag that appeared to the left, which was attacked by danes and then expanded into the bulgarian one. This led to intervention which reduced the size of the swedish/danish flag and made the bulgarian one go around it.
 
In the final week the flag was raided by KagamiiX who replaced large portions of it. At the end, most of the damage was reversed for the exception of a single pixel.
 
== Canvas 34 ==
[[Canvas 34]] started with Ioan trying to make a bulgarian flag map, which was immediately attacked by KagamiiX, forcing him to temporarily abandon the idea, which was remade soon after near [[Pink Gang]]. After that he started making a small star destroyer, however it was quickly discovered he was making it over an art piece, whose owner allowed it to stay. After making other things he decided to create the infamous Flag Area, a project he became widely hated for. It was an empty box with the text FLAG AREA written on that users could make flags in. The problem of it was that there weren't any set boundaries to it and users expanded flags and borders borders however they pleased. This quickly took the attention of other users, who later organised an attack. Ioan, Youj, Unraged and Watermelonely (the main defenders of FA) soon created a discord server. The group was divided after Unraged tried to conduct diplomacy (even though Ioan assumed himself to be responsible for that) while Youj attacked the taken lands. The arguments soon caused Unraged and Watermelonely to leave the server, leaving only Ioan and Youj. After the defeat of FA the bulgarian map was soon covered by [[Pink Gang]]. The rest of the canvas was spent by helping Youj against griefs and de-fiddling his art. At the end a larger bulgarian map was made over a QR code.
 
=== Canvas 34a ===
[[Canvas 34a]] only lasted 24 hours, but in that time Ioan made a fairly large Austro-Hungarian flag. He also helped with the destruction of the void that formed in the top left of the canvas. Right before the reset the flag was griefed with magenta pixels
 
== Canvas 35 ==
On [[canvas 35]] a modified version of the bulgarian coat of arms was planned to be built, however, due to the small size of the space available he wasn't able to do it. Instead, he made a small bulgarian flag on the bottom of the cloud part. After some unsuccesfull attempts at making art he started making Bulgaria Lattice - a lattice made up of white, green and red arranged in a hexagonal manner. After around 5 days a conflict started with [[ERROR Gang]], back then known as Missing Texture Lattice (MTG). Ioan was soon overwhelmed and was forced to surrender. MTG soon covered a large portion of the lattice and blocked it from expanding further. After lenghtly negotiations a deal was made - Ioan would give MTG all but 1 line of lattice below the main flag, while MTG would return a portion they had occupied. Ioan was happy that the new borders looked good and didn't care that he got less than what he lost. The rest of the canvas was sppent on defense and losing remaining bulgarian properties on other raindrops.
 
== Canvas 36 ==
[[Canvas 36]] started with the art planned for the previous one being started. Claiming the land was easy and so the work started without troubles. Midway through he and Youj started working on [[Flag Zone]], a continuation to Flag Area. Its main difference was the addition of borders in an attempt to stop the chaos that happened before. A discord invite was also put there for users to join. At the beginning there were 2 rows of flags but 2 more were added later. A fight broke out when new users started expanding the dutch flag, but they were quickly stopped.
 
[[Flag Incursion]] started when tam sought to remove all flags from the canvas. He started voiding FZ with help from [[ERROR Gang]]. The fight looked like it would result in a win for tam & company, as FZ had only 4 main helpers and the community wasn't pro-flag. However, as time passed, tam eventually stopped and the damage was reversed.
 
Other than FZ and the bulgarian art Ioan also made some smaller arts, such as a building and a waving flag.
 
== Canvas 37 ==
At the start of c37 the doorknob of the door of the sandcastle that was the canvas was claimed, with a text saying ŒŵØ and ioanBG. The area was quickly abandoned because of border conflicts with Skely Gang. He then moved to a large area next to the panda girl that was made on a YouTube livestream. Later other arts were made, most from an online game ioan played. [[ERROR Gang]] later covered some of them. As time passed by, Flag Zone had to be built, and the location chosen was very near the panda girl. ERROR Gang soon expanded north, but agreements and borders were made, and an agreement was made - ERROR would not attack FZ as long as an english/british flag was in.
 
Other than FZ ioan helped protect his friend Youj's arts from griefs, helped with Rice Feilds' lattice and restarted a dead faction (White and Blue Lattice)
 
During [[canvas 37]] arguments with tam continued, however there were no battles. Ioan got muted in the Pxls News Press server (back then owned by tam) several times, after which he used his permissions in [[Proggity Prog OwO]]'s discord and deleted some emotes earning himself a ban.
 
== Canvas 38 ==
[[Canvas 38]] started with ioan not being active at all since he was on vacation for the first 5 days, meaning that he only placed around 50 pixels per day. His project this time was WBL's revival, starting with a flag, then changing the pattern type to a grid instead of a checkerboard. Due to his inactivity and focus on WBL, [[Flag Zone]] was not started in time, and as such was a bit smaller than the previous 2 ones. The lattice started around the flag, right underneath the "I can't place" artwork that was later nuked. The latticing continued well, with a large colony being made near the bottom of the canvas. Around the middle of the canvas Chinpachi, the leader of [[France Pxls]] decided to quit pxls because of the time it wasted. The planned transfer of France Pxls from him to loan was known from before, but noone expected it to be this early. The France template was halfway finished by that time, but noone except Chinpachi had worked on it, so Ioan had to finish it. During the [[Vaktovian Campaign]] the template was subjected to griefing, however, with the help of Antde, themann and others, the damage was reversed and the art was soon finished. In the meantime, the WBL colony was invaded by [[Woke Cells]]. Ioan, now having more time, decided to expand WBL around France. He made it so that the blue part of it was paired with the blue part of a blue lattice in the same area, which he planned to assimilate. The plan worked great, with almost all of the niches around the art being filled and the blue lattice was completely assimilated. At the reset some griefs on FZ were made, but they were fixed, making c38 the first canvas on which [[Flag Zone]] remained intact after the reset.
 
== Canvas 39 ==
[[C39]] was a memorial to Spurdot_Tulille, and as such had his exact pixel count - 1,076,498. This meant that it was a lot smaller than usual. Other than that, Ioan hadn't planned an art for [[France Pxls]]. The issue was quickly fixed when he copied a pixel art of the Notre Dame de Paris straight from google images into pxlsfiddle, which apparently worked. This was quite a large art for such a small faction, being over 8000 pixels large. Despite that, he managed to mark down the spot fairly easy, with only one border conflict. With the help of unraged65 and shadow_z_az, whose factions either didn't exist yet or couldn't find a place, which meant that it was finished quicker than expected.
 
On this canvas Flag Zone only had 12 3x6 flag boxes without text, however it was still official.
 
This was also the time when the tensions between ioan and Youj started to rise with a lot of arguments on discord, after he advertised France Pxls (his second faction)'s project instead of Youj's art, and after he denied that KagamiiX had stopped griefing FZ because of You, along with other reasons.
 
== Canvas 40 ==
[[C40]] started with disagreements in the [[France Pxls]] server about what the next art should be. Ioan had jokingly proposed Hapoleon, the symbol of the french site jeuxvideo.com, while he planned to make art that he made himself - Big Chungus holding a baguette and a glass of wine. However, after voting and grief threats made it clear that noone would help on chungus, he gave in and started hapoleon. It was finished in a normal time, as it was only around 4k pixels. Right after that the construction of the c40 Flag Zone started. It was the first one with a 6x12 box size since June. Later the [[2ch Incursion (Canvas 40)|2ch Incursion ]]started near Hapoleon, and soon after the art got attacked. At first it appeared that 2ch would win, but soon after the battle turned better for France and soon a peace was signed. Other projects were the making of his 100k ego, the outlining of the "Finally, fiddlium" art and the american flag of [[American PXLS]] (later kept by 2ch for their plane art), helping HentaiLover's lattice, helping his friends at Rice Feilds.
 
Arguments with Youj continued after Y. left Flag Zone and Bulgaria Pxls and subsequently griefed his pixel farm. In response, ioan made 2 lattices right next to Youj's art, then passed him in canvas pixels. However, he still attempted to retain good relations with him.
 
== Canvas 41 ==
[[C41]] started with helping Cell Lattice before finding a place for [[France Pxls]]'s art, which was, again, finished quickly. Right after, a user named toofu started making a knockoff of the blue corner, which ioan hated. He started his own idea called "cum corner", which was then turned into "cum fractals". Later on he got bored and decided to expand the yellow corner that was attacked by toofu, remaking it into [[Yellow Corner (C41)|Piss Corner]] by writing the word "Piss" on it. This worked fairly well at first, until toofu had a long 1v1 over the borders, which he lost. The battle continued later, ending with toofu losing yet again. The next day, after a large expansion, toofu came back during the night, doing massive damage and leaving at 6969 pixels for several days. Those days had the largest expansion, covering almost all the fractals except for the ones at the corner. Toofu later came back, getting help from Chalkless in making the blue corner, but, after a long night of constant battling, he gave up. Right after this, ioan started working on a project he had planned since c35 - a fiddled image of Fidel Castro shaped like a violin - fiddled fiddle Fidel. Then he started work on [[ERROR Gang]]'s project he made for the faction. He got lightly involved in the [[Troll Face War]], both times on the side of the LoF. Due to all of the attacks on Piss corner he was late to make a template for Flag Zone, and, when he did, it got moved 3 times before finally being made. He also participated in the revival of the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] with the help of [[pineApple]], and tried fixing some bordergore with [[Bulgaria Pxls]]. Along with that, he also helped HentaiLover again, finished tam's art, did some work on [[YOIB]], made an ego for 150k and surrounded it with a new lattice.
 
Arguments with Youj continued yet again after the latter attacked Piss corner on multiple occasions and left [[Flag Zone]] to ""remake"" a faction called Hall of Flags, basically the same as FZ. This started a conflict referred to as the [[Flag Faction Cold War]].
 
== Canvas 42 ==
At the end of C41 ioan had started to get more active and he wanted to spend a full canvas placing as active as he could. He started out by making the [[France Pxls]]<nowiki/>art he had planned in about 3 days. He continued by starting work on the revived [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]], making a flag and expanding it rapidly. He also got into a few arguments with other users, including UnragedUS (unraged65) and Youj. He joined [[YOIB]] and got fairly active there. After some beef with HOF co-leader he decided to build his large Flag Zone template as a symbol of superiority, with the deal that Abyss may cover it later on. Staying neutral in the [[2ch Pride Raids]] meant that he wasn't going to be griefed, although his virginmap art got destroyed by IDidAThing. In response, loan voided the Sans Fanclub. An ego for 200k was made with the same lattice as the one on c41 right next to HOF. At the end of the canvas he started to slow down due to real life problems, meaning that he couldn't protect [[Flag Zone]] from an HOF counter-strike after they incorrectly assumed the raid on them was done by him.
 
This was the canvas ioanBG was most active on, staying at 4th place until the 13th december when he slowed down and averaging 1,5k pixels/day, getting 2k+ on multiple occasions. This is totally not me flexing on my own wiki page.
 
== Canvas 43 ==
In the last days of canvas 42 loan got a lot slower and planned on taking a break from pxls for 1 canvas. The only thing he planned for that canvas was a kitty art suggested by Necto. He completed it and started helping HentaiLover, before making an ego for 209k, later updating it to have a tilde and a plus sign and changing its color scheme. Afterwards he talked with Kristians in chat and was semi-responsible for the "Dumb people amalgamation" faction tag becoming popular. Nothing else was really done before the new year came, with it he regained some of his placing speed, entering in a race with [[TwentyTwo]]. After some edgy behaviour, including griefing a trans flag and saying some transphobic things in the chat he got permanently chatbanned, but could continue talking on the discord. This meant that he focused on discord interractions more, especially in the [[YOIB]] server where he became friends with several users. Other things made were the genociding of custom cells in [[Cell Lattice]], helping on YOIB arts, removing flags and replacing a void with his lattice.
 
=== Canvas 43a ===
On canvas 43a he had nothing planned so he made an ego and started helping [[YOIB]] a lot, becoming the top 3 placer on their core right after dani and [[TwentyTwo]]. After the core was finished he worked on Starry Night Lattice for the rest of the canvas.
 
== Canvas 44 ==
On [[canvas 44]] he started by making an artwork for [[France Pxls]] - a discord screenshot-looking image of Chinpachi (the previous leader of FP) sending the :hap: emote on the 20th july 2020 - the date he quit pxls. It was quickly done and he completed his and Thea's ego. Later on he helped YOIB even more, gaining another canvas badge. He also helped [[Green Lattice]], [[Cell Lattice]], wokes and LOF. He participated in the antifla raid against HOF and subsequently stopped Youj from making another one by putting his 280k ego and a fleur de lis. Around 1 week before reset he got tired of seeing among us references and badly done jerma faces, so he rebranded the Flag Zone discord to "anti-amogus", and, with the help of Choog, Jiro, [[Kanji]], Dudemanguybruh and others he removed almost all the crewmates apart from the one in YOIB and the upscaled one near 2ch. At the end of the canvas he and dani26795 made a pixelated version of his pfp in a farm, which he later surrounded in melon and protected it until the canvas reset.
 
On this canvas he griefed a lot and got the most pixels replaced by others for it. Some griefs include the making of an й over a badly-done minecraft pixel art near Pink Gang, removal of flags near the top right, which resulted in a lot of pings and the popularisation of the "ping ioanBG in chat and tell him to stop griefing" meme, removal of custom cells in [[Cell Lattice]] and the entire anti-amogus initiative.
 
== Canvas 45 ==
[[Canvas 45]] started with ioanBG collabing with Based Pxls ([[Rice Feilds]]) by making the shield part of the bulgarian coat of arms. He then moved to helping YOIB, adding in his ego. This was also the canvas on which the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] made a return. It started out at the very east of the canvas, had borders with Pink Gang and Virgu's gray background and participated in almost no raids, with the exception of an attack on H2O lattice. In addition to that, he continued expanding and clearing custom cells in Cell Lattice and expanding Green Lattice, along with helping in a raid on a fiddled art and makingC a part of Sen_Ruoka's art. Another major thing was the Flag Area memorial, completed 1 year after the original FA was removed.
 
'''Canvas 45a'''
 
Canvas 45a was a so-called "gimmick canvas" - a canvas different from normal ones. Its gimmick was that users were only allowed to place 1 color (later 2). His color was orange (16) and he soon found out a kot of other users, primarily from YOIB, also shared that color. Advised to do so by Yougottrolled182 he created a server for the group of people. They first helped finish arts with orange on them, then proceeded to expand their background, turning orange into the most placed color for the canvas. YOIB and Inverted Anarchists made their cores on their area. Borders were made with hazard12100's lattice and Sidestep's void. A 320k ego was made with help from Sen_Ruoka and SkrillyD.
<br />
 
== Canvas 46 ==
IoanBG started [[Canvas 46]] by placing a sign stating "cock and ball torture" with a random newcomer, without any previous coordination. The rest of the canvas passed with him mostly placing for the newly re-established [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]]. The most notable conflicts NBGM participated in that canvas were the cleaning of their territory from and subsequently removing every trace of a waterfall-type green line, as well as the placing over a seemingly abandoned art, which was found not to be abandoned soon after. The owner of said art declared war on the NBGM and threatened to grief it during the final minutes, an action he did not do. Small-scale discord confrontations with Youj occured. During that canvas the pxls in-game chat was removed as an experiment, which resulted in many users writing messages such as "rip chat" and "bring chat back" on the canvas. He sought out to destroy said messages, achieving success in all his attempts. Other griefing campaigns included several raids against HoneyHyena's tiny pixel art, something which would repeat itself on following canvases, as well as the various anty-furry raids launched by [[YOIB]], who he helped in the final days of the canvas after the leaving of dani26795 and Nya. On this canvas ioanBG set personal "records" for himself, both for activity (a new highest px/day of 2222) and inactivity, with some days where he barely placed over 60 pixels.
 
== Canvas 47 ==
Canvas 47 was unofficially planned as the "Grand Return of the NBGM", but ioanBG decided to also help out [[YOIB]], as it had lost activity in the weeks following dani's leaving, and especially after the [[Nuke of 2ch (Canvas 47)|Nuke of 2ch]]. As such, he placed several of its arts and outlines, and was one of the main helpers in the faction's final raid on Hall of Flags. He hoped that YOIB would continue to exist, but the Genewuws decided to declare a break and set a final canvas for canvas 49, later changed to 50. He had also hoped that final canvas would see YOIB use white as its background colour, and he even tried finding arts for it, but the final colour was declared dark grey, as it had been the first background used by the faction.
 
Canvas 47 saw the [[Navy Blue Grand Monarchy]] grow in size and power, with three main conflicts. The first of those was [[Invasion of Pee Gang|the invasion of Pee Gang]] in response to their griefs on NBGM's "buddy" emote placed near the border. The raid was a great success, as was the following conflict, which started with SilentPixel claiming a large part of the canvas for his faction. After a day of no activity, the NBGM high command decided that they should claim the area for themselves, starting the [[NBGM–Anime conflict]], during which Silent threatened intervention by other factions which never came. It should be noted that ioanBG initially only wanted to take a small ammount of territory, however he embraced the idea of covering as much as possible. After most of the placing was done, the NBGM negotiated a deal with 2hu's actual leader, Korgi, which gave away most of their claimed lattice. The final conflict was a raid against Polonian Pxls, after a look at the snapshots revealed Youj had placed his art over the blob faction. The raid was successful, however it was revealed the owner of the blobs approved the covering, and the Monarchy returned the map to its original shape. This was the first canvas on which ioanBG placed mostly for NBGM, a tradition which would carry on the following canvases.
 
Other projects included the griefs against many amogi, as well as attacking a large danish flag unsuccessfully. This was also the last canvas on which Ioan placed for and owned [[France Pxls]], as its old owner Chinpachi returned around the middle of the canvas.
 
== Canvas 48 ==
[[Canvas 48]] started with him not placing at all for 3 days, trusting his NBGM colleagues with claiming an area and placing down the outlines. The 3-day break was part of a much larger plan to quit pxls alongside Liam in early september. The experiment gave mixed results, as on one hand Ioan did not place any pixels, but on the other, he did check both the canvas and the discord server several times. Later on in the canvas he got involved in a race with Universe for who would place more pixels, resulting in him setting a new personal record (2915px/day) and ending the canvas in 4th place, with over 53,000 pixels.
 
The NBGM was mostly peaceful on this canvas, barring a forced de-fiddle of a badly upscaled Peter Griffin art and a short conflict near the end, where a lattice placer on the southeastern edge of the Monarchy was unhappy with the border and tried to change it unsuccessfully. ioanBG's personal placing strategy was placing many navy pixels at random spots in an area he had zoomed in, which allowed him to spend more time outside of waiting for pixels.
 
== Canvas 49 ==
[[Canvas 49]] started with Ioan focusing entirely on the NBGM, which constituted most of his actions. He was an active participant and commander in the [[Arena conflicts (Canvas 49)|Arena conflicts]] and the [[invasion of COUP castle]].
 
Other notable actions include the various [[Lesser Kingdom of Magenta|Magenta Free States]] started as griefs, mostly against users he found annoying. This was the first time the term Magenta Free State was used, during a raid on the [[Femboy Volunteers]], in which he supported neither the raiders nor the raided, but joined in as a third party, indirectly helping FV by not resisting them.
 
This turned out to be his most active canvas, as he battled with Universe for the first place, which he mostly managed to keep. However, IRL circumstances forced him to barely place for a week, and he entered in a gentlemen's agreement with Universe and [[hazard12100]] to temporarily slow down and continue the race when he could return. The agreement was respected, but he ended up losing it, ending up third.
 
== Canvas 50 ==
[[Canvas 50]] was another canvas in which he was involved both in NBGM and YOIB, mostly focusing on the former. Major conflicts involved [[Femboy Café|the clothing raid on the Femboy Volunteers]], along with the [[Arena conflicts (Canvas 50)|Arena conflicts]], in both of which he participated on the side of the NBGM.
 
Lots of griefing occured on this canvas, the most notable being his day-long grief of the Femboy Volunteers, done because he deemed their art too suggestive. The attack went on to involve several people from [[Bahamaland]], which had the unwanted effect of making it seem as if it were an official NBGM raid, due to most of the participants also having ranks there. Ignoring the fact that most of the NBGM's forces did not even know of the rogue raid, and the fact that Liam himself did not participate, the FV attacked the NBGM. The attack was nothing but an annoyance and did not end the griefing. It later paved the way to the NBGM's involvement in the successful clothing raid, in which several users, notably dani26795 and Sidestep, along with the official participation of the NBGM, managed to raid and edit FV's art by covering some of it, making it look clothed.
 
== Canvas 51 ==
[[Canvas 51]] was another canvas Ioan was active on. His activities mostly revolved around the NBGM, which was rather peaceful on this canvas. The most important action taken on this canvas was the establishment of the Principalities system, by which several factions were officially vassalised by the NBGM, at first including [[Bahamaland]], [[Imperium]] and [[Bulgaria Pxls]]. Later on, Unraged left pxls and transferred ownership of his faction, Nonexistent Canvas, to Liam, which was followed by its addition as the [[Principality of Nonexistent Canvas]]. There were no large offensive operations, the closest being his personal indesire to let a trans flag pass through NBGM territory due to his dislike of flags. He eventually agreed to stop griefing, and the trans flag's organisation later turned into the [[Principality of Big Trans Flags]]. There were some plans circulated about an attack on FV, however, their art was deemed SFW enough and nothing was attempted.
 
Ioan's other faction, [[Orange Gang]], which he had mostly neglected, was revived on this canvas under his nominal leadership, but mostly by Monster_Chicken and Universe. However, he actively organised and participated in the faction's first major conflict since its creation, which was directed against the Long Cake. Its owner had attempted to expand it vertically into OG territory, but was quickly crushed and forced to give up a large area, as well as stop his vertical expansion south of the newly-made border.
 
There were also many small griefs with magenta, mostly against flags and annoying users, as had been done on previous canvases.
 
== Canvas 52 ==
This was a fairly uneventful canvas for both NBGM and Ioan personally. Most of his time was devoted to finishing the NBGM's large art, with some small griefs occurring, the most notable of which being against a large pride flag made by SandAuntelder, which may become relevant on canvas 54.
 
== Canvas 53 ==
By comparison, [[canvas 53]] was quite an eventful one. The NBGM was mostly peaceful, with the only major offensive engagement being the destruction of the void in the bottom-left of the canvas. This was one of the reasons for the [[Navy Colony War]], in which D2 forces attempted to force the NBGM out of the corner. Reasons for the decision to not abandon the colony are unclear, but it was mostly clean at most times. There were also small trollings directed against [[The Purple Empire]], the most significant of which being a several-hour long maneuvre to block the expansion of TPE's western colony southward.
 
The other significant event was the return of [[Bulgaria Pxls]] under new management, led by Dark0, the founder of the c28 Bulgaria Pxls, with ioanBG transferring the server but retaining admin permissions. The first action of this new government was to immediately make and expand a flag right into Orange Gang's emblem. This was not endorsed by Ioan, especially as he was nominally owner of Orange Gang, and because of his dislike for flags. Both sides attempted to persuade him into joining on their side, which he refused, staying neutral through most of it. All of his attempts at ending the conflict were ignored by Dark0, who, as he started to lose, left the battleground, claiming that his forces were winning in the beginning. This left Ioan in a peculiar situation, where he had to appease both the bulgarians, to not show incompetence, and Orange Gang, who were rapidly gaining territory and whose members wanted punishment, especially as they were not warm to the idea of flags on pxls. He dealt with this by cutting out a section of the flag, in which he made a smaller version of it, surrounded by a border, and by agreeing with OG members that they would not cover the flag. Dark0 and his protégés soon left both Bulgaria Pxls and pxls, despite loan's attempt to get them to place down a template of the Sofia Largo. These events led to the restructuring of Bulgaria Pxls, which has stayed inactive to this day.

Pixels placed700k+

ioanBG, also Ioan XXXVIII is a Bulgarian pxls.space user who is currently the Admiral of the Chromatic Empire, the Marshal of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, the Lesser King of Magenta and the Prince of Bulgaria Pxls and Aqua. He has been active in the pxls community since early 2020, with varying degrees of involvement.

Canvas 31

Ioan joined quite late on Canvas 31, after seeing a comment on an r/place video. His first actions involved enlarging a bulgarian flag, resulting in a success, and changing a 69 to 68.9, which resulted in a mild success in getting attention from chat. The canvas reset shortly after.

Canvas 32

Canvas 32 was the first canvas he made art on, starting by making a tiny tardis at the rear leg of the cat. Right after that, a user suggested making the giant Slovenian flag into a Bulgarian one, which was accepted. They were quickly stopped by the slovenian faction under the leadership of TheIncredibleHulk21 and decided to make a bulgarian flag elsewhere. The location chosen was near the head of the cat. Each stripe of the flag was made 6 pixels tall. After that, the same user suggested griefing the slovenian flag yet again, this time by turning it into a russian one. Progress was made until the faction responded and later on griefed the small flag, completely destroying it. Ioan then suggested making a brand-new flag, this time with each stripe being 7 pixels tall. This worked on fairly well until trainhead left, his final suggestion being the expansion of the flag from one end to another. Ioan thought that would be a good propaganda move and so he started the long, hard task all by himself. Around that time he introduced one of his friends to pxls.

At the same time as the flag, he also created some arts, such as 3 star destroyers, a text saying ,,anus" with an arrow pointing at the rectum of the cat that was the canvas, and a dalek with text saying ,,Exterminate!" underneath. All these side projects meant that, despite introducing 2 of his IRL friends at the last day, the flag did not reach the end of the canvas. This however paved the way for canvas 33

On c32 ioan joined actual factions for the first time, starting with France Pxls (which he eventually got ownership of in canvas 38), and created one, Bulgaria Pxls. In recent canvases, he has used the faction title more symbolically, as the faction itself hasn't been active.

Canvas 33

The reset came when both loan and his 2 friends were online, which meant that a lot of things could be made. Although the decisions between the friends were made "democratically" he acted as the de facto leader, since he had been on the site for more than a month and already had 10k pixels. Before his friends joined he made the same small star destroyer as he had previously. After that the group decided to make a flag with each stripe being 8 pixels tall. Ioan's original idea was for it to be around the middle of the canvas, but border conflicts with KB meant he had to move lower. The group decided to run the flag through the canvas from one end to another in a display of patriotism. The task was not easy for people as new and inactive as them, and was filled with assimilating other small arts. There was conflict at the swedish flag that appeared to the left, which was attacked by danes and then expanded into the bulgarian one. This led to intervention which reduced the size of the swedish/danish flag and made the bulgarian one go around it.

In the final week the flag was raided by KagamiiX who replaced large portions of it. At the end, most of the damage was reversed for the exception of a single pixel.

Canvas 34

Canvas 34 started with Ioan trying to make a bulgarian flag map, which was immediately attacked by KagamiiX, forcing him to temporarily abandon the idea, which was remade soon after near Pink Gang. After that he started making a small star destroyer, however it was quickly discovered he was making it over an art piece, whose owner allowed it to stay. After making other things he decided to create the infamous Flag Area, a project he became widely hated for. It was an empty box with the text FLAG AREA written on that users could make flags in. The problem of it was that there weren't any set boundaries to it and users expanded flags and borders borders however they pleased. This quickly took the attention of other users, who later organised an attack. Ioan, Youj, Unraged and Watermelonely (the main defenders of FA) soon created a discord server. The group was divided after Unraged tried to conduct diplomacy (even though Ioan assumed himself to be responsible for that) while Youj attacked the taken lands. The arguments soon caused Unraged and Watermelonely to leave the server, leaving only Ioan and Youj. After the defeat of FA the bulgarian map was soon covered by Pink Gang. The rest of the canvas was spent by helping Youj against griefs and de-fiddling his art. At the end a larger bulgarian map was made over a QR code.

Canvas 34a

Canvas 34a only lasted 24 hours, but in that time Ioan made a fairly large Austro-Hungarian flag. He also helped with the destruction of the void that formed in the top left of the canvas. Right before the reset the flag was griefed with magenta pixels

Canvas 35

On canvas 35 a modified version of the bulgarian coat of arms was planned to be built, however, due to the small size of the space available he wasn't able to do it. Instead, he made a small bulgarian flag on the bottom of the cloud part. After some unsuccesfull attempts at making art he started making Bulgaria Lattice - a lattice made up of white, green and red arranged in a hexagonal manner. After around 5 days a conflict started with ERROR Gang, back then known as Missing Texture Lattice (MTG). Ioan was soon overwhelmed and was forced to surrender. MTG soon covered a large portion of the lattice and blocked it from expanding further. After lenghtly negotiations a deal was made - Ioan would give MTG all but 1 line of lattice below the main flag, while MTG would return a portion they had occupied. Ioan was happy that the new borders looked good and didn't care that he got less than what he lost. The rest of the canvas was sppent on defense and losing remaining bulgarian properties on other raindrops.

Canvas 36

Canvas 36 started with the art planned for the previous one being started. Claiming the land was easy and so the work started without troubles. Midway through he and Youj started working on Flag Zone, a continuation to Flag Area. Its main difference was the addition of borders in an attempt to stop the chaos that happened before. A discord invite was also put there for users to join. At the beginning there were 2 rows of flags but 2 more were added later. A fight broke out when new users started expanding the dutch flag, but they were quickly stopped.

Flag Incursion started when tam sought to remove all flags from the canvas. He started voiding FZ with help from ERROR Gang. The fight looked like it would result in a win for tam & company, as FZ had only 4 main helpers and the community wasn't pro-flag. However, as time passed, tam eventually stopped and the damage was reversed.

Other than FZ and the bulgarian art Ioan also made some smaller arts, such as a building and a waving flag.

Canvas 37

At the start of c37 the doorknob of the door of the sandcastle that was the canvas was claimed, with a text saying ŒŵØ and ioanBG. The area was quickly abandoned because of border conflicts with Skely Gang. He then moved to a large area next to the panda girl that was made on a YouTube livestream. Later other arts were made, most from an online game ioan played. ERROR Gang later covered some of them. As time passed by, Flag Zone had to be built, and the location chosen was very near the panda girl. ERROR Gang soon expanded north, but agreements and borders were made, and an agreement was made - ERROR would not attack FZ as long as an english/british flag was in.

Other than FZ ioan helped protect his friend Youj's arts from griefs, helped with Rice Feilds' lattice and restarted a dead faction (White and Blue Lattice)

During canvas 37 arguments with tam continued, however there were no battles. Ioan got muted in the Pxls News Press server (back then owned by tam) several times, after which he used his permissions in Proggity Prog OwO's discord and deleted some emotes earning himself a ban.

Canvas 38

Canvas 38 started with ioan not being active at all since he was on vacation for the first 5 days, meaning that he only placed around 50 pixels per day. His project this time was WBL's revival, starting with a flag, then changing the pattern type to a grid instead of a checkerboard. Due to his inactivity and focus on WBL, Flag Zone was not started in time, and as such was a bit smaller than the previous 2 ones. The lattice started around the flag, right underneath the "I can't place" artwork that was later nuked. The latticing continued well, with a large colony being made near the bottom of the canvas. Around the middle of the canvas Chinpachi, the leader of France Pxls decided to quit pxls because of the time it wasted. The planned transfer of France Pxls from him to loan was known from before, but noone expected it to be this early. The France template was halfway finished by that time, but noone except Chinpachi had worked on it, so Ioan had to finish it. During the Vaktovian Campaign the template was subjected to griefing, however, with the help of Antde, themann and others, the damage was reversed and the art was soon finished. In the meantime, the WBL colony was invaded by Woke Cells. Ioan, now having more time, decided to expand WBL around France. He made it so that the blue part of it was paired with the blue part of a blue lattice in the same area, which he planned to assimilate. The plan worked great, with almost all of the niches around the art being filled and the blue lattice was completely assimilated. At the reset some griefs on FZ were made, but they were fixed, making c38 the first canvas on which Flag Zone remained intact after the reset.

Canvas 39

C39 was a memorial to Spurdot_Tulille, and as such had his exact pixel count - 1,076,498. This meant that it was a lot smaller than usual. Other than that, Ioan hadn't planned an art for France Pxls. The issue was quickly fixed when he copied a pixel art of the Notre Dame de Paris straight from google images into pxlsfiddle, which apparently worked. This was quite a large art for such a small faction, being over 8000 pixels large. Despite that, he managed to mark down the spot fairly easy, with only one border conflict. With the help of unraged65 and shadow_z_az, whose factions either didn't exist yet or couldn't find a place, which meant that it was finished quicker than expected.

On this canvas Flag Zone only had 12 3x6 flag boxes without text, however it was still official.

This was also the time when the tensions between ioan and Youj started to rise with a lot of arguments on discord, after he advertised France Pxls (his second faction)'s project instead of Youj's art, and after he denied that KagamiiX had stopped griefing FZ because of You, along with other reasons.

Canvas 40

C40 started with disagreements in the France Pxls server about what the next art should be. Ioan had jokingly proposed Hapoleon, the symbol of the french site jeuxvideo.com, while he planned to make art that he made himself - Big Chungus holding a baguette and a glass of wine. However, after voting and grief threats made it clear that noone would help on chungus, he gave in and started hapoleon. It was finished in a normal time, as it was only around 4k pixels. Right after that the construction of the c40 Flag Zone started. It was the first one with a 6x12 box size since June. Later the 2ch Incursion started near Hapoleon, and soon after the art got attacked. At first it appeared that 2ch would win, but soon after the battle turned better for France and soon a peace was signed. Other projects were the making of his 100k ego, the outlining of the "Finally, fiddlium" art and the american flag of American PXLS (later kept by 2ch for their plane art), helping HentaiLover's lattice, helping his friends at Rice Feilds.

Arguments with Youj continued after Y. left Flag Zone and Bulgaria Pxls and subsequently griefed his pixel farm. In response, ioan made 2 lattices right next to Youj's art, then passed him in canvas pixels. However, he still attempted to retain good relations with him.

Canvas 41

C41 started with helping Cell Lattice before finding a place for France Pxls's art, which was, again, finished quickly. Right after, a user named toofu started making a knockoff of the blue corner, which ioan hated. He started his own idea called "cum corner", which was then turned into "cum fractals". Later on he got bored and decided to expand the yellow corner that was attacked by toofu, remaking it into Piss Corner by writing the word "Piss" on it. This worked fairly well at first, until toofu had a long 1v1 over the borders, which he lost. The battle continued later, ending with toofu losing yet again. The next day, after a large expansion, toofu came back during the night, doing massive damage and leaving at 6969 pixels for several days. Those days had the largest expansion, covering almost all the fractals except for the ones at the corner. Toofu later came back, getting help from Chalkless in making the blue corner, but, after a long night of constant battling, he gave up. Right after this, ioan started working on a project he had planned since c35 - a fiddled image of Fidel Castro shaped like a violin - fiddled fiddle Fidel. Then he started work on ERROR Gang's project he made for the faction. He got lightly involved in the Troll Face War, both times on the side of the LoF. Due to all of the attacks on Piss corner he was late to make a template for Flag Zone, and, when he did, it got moved 3 times before finally being made. He also participated in the revival of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy with the help of pineApple, and tried fixing some bordergore with Bulgaria Pxls. Along with that, he also helped HentaiLover again, finished tam's art, did some work on YOIB, made an ego for 150k and surrounded it with a new lattice.

Arguments with Youj continued yet again after the latter attacked Piss corner on multiple occasions and left Flag Zone to ""remake"" a faction called Hall of Flags, basically the same as FZ. This started a conflict referred to as the Flag Faction Cold War.

Canvas 42

At the end of C41 ioan had started to get more active and he wanted to spend a full canvas placing as active as he could. He started out by making the France Pxlsart he had planned in about 3 days. He continued by starting work on the revived Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, making a flag and expanding it rapidly. He also got into a few arguments with other users, including UnragedUS (unraged65) and Youj. He joined YOIB and got fairly active there. After some beef with HOF co-leader he decided to build his large Flag Zone template as a symbol of superiority, with the deal that Abyss may cover it later on. Staying neutral in the 2ch Pride Raids meant that he wasn't going to be griefed, although his virginmap art got destroyed by IDidAThing. In response, loan voided the Sans Fanclub. An ego for 200k was made with the same lattice as the one on c41 right next to HOF. At the end of the canvas he started to slow down due to real life problems, meaning that he couldn't protect Flag Zone from an HOF counter-strike after they incorrectly assumed the raid on them was done by him.

This was the canvas ioanBG was most active on, staying at 4th place until the 13th december when he slowed down and averaging 1,5k pixels/day, getting 2k+ on multiple occasions. This is totally not me flexing on my own wiki page.

Canvas 43

In the last days of canvas 42 loan got a lot slower and planned on taking a break from pxls for 1 canvas. The only thing he planned for that canvas was a kitty art suggested by Necto. He completed it and started helping HentaiLover, before making an ego for 209k, later updating it to have a tilde and a plus sign and changing its color scheme. Afterwards he talked with Kristians in chat and was semi-responsible for the "Dumb people amalgamation" faction tag becoming popular. Nothing else was really done before the new year came, with it he regained some of his placing speed, entering in a race with TwentyTwo. After some edgy behaviour, including griefing a trans flag and saying some transphobic things in the chat he got permanently chatbanned, but could continue talking on the discord. This meant that he focused on discord interractions more, especially in the YOIB server where he became friends with several users. Other things made were the genociding of custom cells in Cell Lattice, helping on YOIB arts, removing flags and replacing a void with his lattice.

Canvas 43a

On canvas 43a he had nothing planned so he made an ego and started helping YOIB a lot, becoming the top 3 placer on their core right after dani and TwentyTwo. After the core was finished he worked on Starry Night Lattice for the rest of the canvas.

Canvas 44

On canvas 44 he started by making an artwork for France Pxls - a discord screenshot-looking image of Chinpachi (the previous leader of FP) sending the :hap: emote on the 20th july 2020 - the date he quit pxls. It was quickly done and he completed his and Thea's ego. Later on he helped YOIB even more, gaining another canvas badge. He also helped Green Lattice, Cell Lattice, wokes and LOF. He participated in the antifla raid against HOF and subsequently stopped Youj from making another one by putting his 280k ego and a fleur de lis. Around 1 week before reset he got tired of seeing among us references and badly done jerma faces, so he rebranded the Flag Zone discord to "anti-amogus", and, with the help of Choog, Jiro, Kanji, Dudemanguybruh and others he removed almost all the crewmates apart from the one in YOIB and the upscaled one near 2ch. At the end of the canvas he and dani26795 made a pixelated version of his pfp in a farm, which he later surrounded in melon and protected it until the canvas reset.

On this canvas he griefed a lot and got the most pixels replaced by others for it. Some griefs include the making of an й over a badly-done minecraft pixel art near Pink Gang, removal of flags near the top right, which resulted in a lot of pings and the popularisation of the "ping ioanBG in chat and tell him to stop griefing" meme, removal of custom cells in Cell Lattice and the entire anti-amogus initiative.

Canvas 45

Canvas 45 started with ioanBG collabing with Based Pxls (Rice Feilds) by making the shield part of the bulgarian coat of arms. He then moved to helping YOIB, adding in his ego. This was also the canvas on which the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy made a return. It started out at the very east of the canvas, had borders with Pink Gang and Virgu's gray background and participated in almost no raids, with the exception of an attack on H2O lattice. In addition to that, he continued expanding and clearing custom cells in Cell Lattice and expanding Green Lattice, along with helping in a raid on a fiddled art and makingC a part of Sen_Ruoka's art. Another major thing was the Flag Area memorial, completed 1 year after the original FA was removed.

Canvas 45a

Canvas 45a was a so-called "gimmick canvas" - a canvas different from normal ones. Its gimmick was that users were only allowed to place 1 color (later 2). His color was orange (16) and he soon found out a kot of other users, primarily from YOIB, also shared that color. Advised to do so by Yougottrolled182 he created a server for the group of people. They first helped finish arts with orange on them, then proceeded to expand their background, turning orange into the most placed color for the canvas. YOIB and Inverted Anarchists made their cores on their area. Borders were made with hazard12100's lattice and Sidestep's void. A 320k ego was made with help from Sen_Ruoka and SkrillyD.

Canvas 46

IoanBG started Canvas 46 by placing a sign stating "cock and ball torture" with a random newcomer, without any previous coordination. The rest of the canvas passed with him mostly placing for the newly re-established Navy Blue Grand Monarchy. The most notable conflicts NBGM participated in that canvas were the cleaning of their territory from and subsequently removing every trace of a waterfall-type green line, as well as the placing over a seemingly abandoned art, which was found not to be abandoned soon after. The owner of said art declared war on the NBGM and threatened to grief it during the final minutes, an action he did not do. Small-scale discord confrontations with Youj occured. During that canvas the pxls in-game chat was removed as an experiment, which resulted in many users writing messages such as "rip chat" and "bring chat back" on the canvas. He sought out to destroy said messages, achieving success in all his attempts. Other griefing campaigns included several raids against HoneyHyena's tiny pixel art, something which would repeat itself on following canvases, as well as the various anty-furry raids launched by YOIB, who he helped in the final days of the canvas after the leaving of dani26795 and Nya. On this canvas ioanBG set personal "records" for himself, both for activity (a new highest px/day of 2222) and inactivity, with some days where he barely placed over 60 pixels.

Canvas 47

Canvas 47 was unofficially planned as the "Grand Return of the NBGM", but ioanBG decided to also help out YOIB, as it had lost activity in the weeks following dani's leaving, and especially after the Nuke of 2ch. As such, he placed several of its arts and outlines, and was one of the main helpers in the faction's final raid on Hall of Flags. He hoped that YOIB would continue to exist, but the Genewuws decided to declare a break and set a final canvas for canvas 49, later changed to 50. He had also hoped that final canvas would see YOIB use white as its background colour, and he even tried finding arts for it, but the final colour was declared dark grey, as it had been the first background used by the faction.

Canvas 47 saw the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy grow in size and power, with three main conflicts. The first of those was the invasion of Pee Gang in response to their griefs on NBGM's "buddy" emote placed near the border. The raid was a great success, as was the following conflict, which started with SilentPixel claiming a large part of the canvas for his faction. After a day of no activity, the NBGM high command decided that they should claim the area for themselves, starting the NBGM–Anime conflict, during which Silent threatened intervention by other factions which never came. It should be noted that ioanBG initially only wanted to take a small ammount of territory, however he embraced the idea of covering as much as possible. After most of the placing was done, the NBGM negotiated a deal with 2hu's actual leader, Korgi, which gave away most of their claimed lattice. The final conflict was a raid against Polonian Pxls, after a look at the snapshots revealed Youj had placed his art over the blob faction. The raid was successful, however it was revealed the owner of the blobs approved the covering, and the Monarchy returned the map to its original shape. This was the first canvas on which ioanBG placed mostly for NBGM, a tradition which would carry on the following canvases.

Other projects included the griefs against many amogi, as well as attacking a large danish flag unsuccessfully. This was also the last canvas on which Ioan placed for and owned France Pxls, as its old owner Chinpachi returned around the middle of the canvas.

Canvas 48

Canvas 48 started with him not placing at all for 3 days, trusting his NBGM colleagues with claiming an area and placing down the outlines. The 3-day break was part of a much larger plan to quit pxls alongside Liam in early september. The experiment gave mixed results, as on one hand Ioan did not place any pixels, but on the other, he did check both the canvas and the discord server several times. Later on in the canvas he got involved in a race with Universe for who would place more pixels, resulting in him setting a new personal record (2915px/day) and ending the canvas in 4th place, with over 53,000 pixels.

The NBGM was mostly peaceful on this canvas, barring a forced de-fiddle of a badly upscaled Peter Griffin art and a short conflict near the end, where a lattice placer on the southeastern edge of the Monarchy was unhappy with the border and tried to change it unsuccessfully. ioanBG's personal placing strategy was placing many navy pixels at random spots in an area he had zoomed in, which allowed him to spend more time outside of waiting for pixels.

Canvas 49

Canvas 49 started with Ioan focusing entirely on the NBGM, which constituted most of his actions. He was an active participant and commander in the Arena conflicts and the invasion of COUP castle.

Other notable actions include the various Magenta Free States started as griefs, mostly against users he found annoying. This was the first time the term Magenta Free State was used, during a raid on the Femboy Volunteers, in which he supported neither the raiders nor the raided, but joined in as a third party, indirectly helping FV by not resisting them.

This turned out to be his most active canvas, as he battled with Universe for the first place, which he mostly managed to keep. However, IRL circumstances forced him to barely place for a week, and he entered in a gentlemen's agreement with Universe and hazard12100 to temporarily slow down and continue the race when he could return. The agreement was respected, but he ended up losing it, ending up third.

Canvas 50

Canvas 50 was another canvas in which he was involved both in NBGM and YOIB, mostly focusing on the former. Major conflicts involved the clothing raid on the Femboy Volunteers, along with the Arena conflicts, in both of which he participated on the side of the NBGM.

Lots of griefing occured on this canvas, the most notable being his day-long grief of the Femboy Volunteers, done because he deemed their art too suggestive. The attack went on to involve several people from Bahamaland, which had the unwanted effect of making it seem as if it were an official NBGM raid, due to most of the participants also having ranks there. Ignoring the fact that most of the NBGM's forces did not even know of the rogue raid, and the fact that Liam himself did not participate, the FV attacked the NBGM. The attack was nothing but an annoyance and did not end the griefing. It later paved the way to the NBGM's involvement in the successful clothing raid, in which several users, notably dani26795 and Sidestep, along with the official participation of the NBGM, managed to raid and edit FV's art by covering some of it, making it look clothed.

Canvas 51

Canvas 51 was another canvas Ioan was active on. His activities mostly revolved around the NBGM, which was rather peaceful on this canvas. The most important action taken on this canvas was the establishment of the Principalities system, by which several factions were officially vassalised by the NBGM, at first including Bahamaland, Imperium and Bulgaria Pxls. Later on, Unraged left pxls and transferred ownership of his faction, Nonexistent Canvas, to Liam, which was followed by its addition as the Principality of Nonexistent Canvas. There were no large offensive operations, the closest being his personal indesire to let a trans flag pass through NBGM territory due to his dislike of flags. He eventually agreed to stop griefing, and the trans flag's organisation later turned into the Principality of Big Trans Flags. There were some plans circulated about an attack on FV, however, their art was deemed SFW enough and nothing was attempted.

Ioan's other faction, Orange Gang, which he had mostly neglected, was revived on this canvas under his nominal leadership, but mostly by Monster_Chicken and Universe. However, he actively organised and participated in the faction's first major conflict since its creation, which was directed against the Long Cake. Its owner had attempted to expand it vertically into OG territory, but was quickly crushed and forced to give up a large area, as well as stop his vertical expansion south of the newly-made border.

There were also many small griefs with magenta, mostly against flags and annoying users, as had been done on previous canvases.

Canvas 52

This was a fairly uneventful canvas for both NBGM and Ioan personally. Most of his time was devoted to finishing the NBGM's large art, with some small griefs occurring, the most notable of which being against a large pride flag made by SandAuntelder, which may become relevant on canvas 54.

Canvas 53

By comparison, canvas 53 was quite an eventful one. The NBGM was mostly peaceful, with the only major offensive engagement being the destruction of the void in the bottom-left of the canvas. This was one of the reasons for the Navy Colony War, in which D2 forces attempted to force the NBGM out of the corner. Reasons for the decision to not abandon the colony are unclear, but it was mostly clean at most times. There were also small trollings directed against The Purple Empire, the most significant of which being a several-hour long maneuvre to block the expansion of TPE's western colony southward.

The other significant event was the return of Bulgaria Pxls under new management, led by Dark0, the founder of the c28 Bulgaria Pxls, with ioanBG transferring the server but retaining admin permissions. The first action of this new government was to immediately make and expand a flag right into Orange Gang's emblem. This was not endorsed by Ioan, especially as he was nominally owner of Orange Gang, and because of his dislike for flags. Both sides attempted to persuade him into joining on their side, which he refused, staying neutral through most of it. All of his attempts at ending the conflict were ignored by Dark0, who, as he started to lose, left the battleground, claiming that his forces were winning in the beginning. This left Ioan in a peculiar situation, where he had to appease both the bulgarians, to not show incompetence, and Orange Gang, who were rapidly gaining territory and whose members wanted punishment, especially as they were not warm to the idea of flags on pxls. He dealt with this by cutting out a section of the flag, in which he made a smaller version of it, surrounded by a border, and by agreeing with OG members that they would not cover the flag. Dark0 and his protégés soon left both Bulgaria Pxls and pxls, despite loan's attempt to get them to place down a template of the Sofia Largo. These events led to the restructuring of Bulgaria Pxls, which has stayed inactive to this day.
