Knights of the Blue Corner

The Knights of the Blue Corner we're a revival of the Blue Corner that began on Canvas 63 and continued to the current canvas.

Canvas 63

The c63 revival, in some ways, started before Canvas 63. The leader of the revival, Scout107, had joined during Canvas 61 intending to revive the Blue Corner faction as soon as a viable corner appeared. However, a viable corner did not appear until Canvas 63. Scout107 was not active for the first half of the canvas, but when he did join, a little less than halfway through, he set about turning the bottom-right corner of each square blue. This was easy on five of the squares as they were relatively empty, the Purple square even had blue pixels placed by a previous user during the early days of the Canvas! However, the Blue Square contained an obstacle that was insurmountable for the faction.

The Blue Square and the PokePxls war

The bottom right corner of the Blue Square was already taken up by an artwork made by PokePxls. Initially, Scout placed a single blue pixel at the true corner of the square, but he slowly expanded until PokePxls reclaimed the corner. He would proceed to grief PokePxls in the region around the true corner afew times until he decided he would try and make a treaty, offering to stop griefing if Pokepxls would let him have the 1 pixel that he considered to be the true corner. The faction flatly refused this offer and instead griefed the corners on the other squares. In

n order to add to his numbers, and to revive the Blue Corner faction, Scout107 began to post on the Blue Corner Subreddit to rally reinforcements, but he soon realized this was not enough to fight off PokePxls, so he tried to make peace with Pokepxls. The conflict slowly died down until the peace was finalized when The Blue Corner joined the Chromatic Empire.

The Blue Corner Civil War

Around the time the Blue Corner joined the Chromatic Empire, one of the users that had joined The Blue Corner, CreepyFR, took de-facto control of the corner on the orange square. Eventually, he expanded into Roger's cap which was just above it. Scout107 disapproved of this action and fixed the artwork and he tried to get CreepyFR on his side. To do this, Scout107 officially recognized CreepyFR's control of the corner on the Orange Square by making him the faction's first canvas Marshall as he hoped working more closely with him would allow him to prevent CreepyFR from getting the faction into unwanted wars and would make it easier to get him to agree to the two principles Scout wanted to establish to guide the faction: keep the true corner Blue, no unnecessary aggression.

CreepyFR would continue to expand into Cappy and other members of the faction would continue to fix it and Scout would continue to try and get him to stop. Eventually this conflict caused Scout to threaten to ban CreepyFR from the faction. CreepyFR then chose to leave the faction and join the defunct Blue Corner faction since he could not yet make his own. At this time, the primary faction of this revival was named The Blue Corner and it's abbreviation was TBC. The similarity between the names of the "Blue Corner" and "The Blue Corner" became a source of friction as the faction sought to enter the Chromatic Empire, so the faction would rename itself as "The Knights of the Blue Corner".

Even though CreepyFR had left the faction, the Knights did not immediately reclaim the corner on the orange square saying that it belonged to CreepyFR, not their faction. However, in order to achieve their goal of making all 6 bottom right corners on the canvas blue, they would decide to protect the corner "under the cap" but would not help or hinder CreepyFR's expansion "over the cap" unless he expanded into artworks. If he expanded into artworks, particularly the cap, they would fight against him and rebuild the artworks.

Eventually, Scout recognized that CreepyFR was no longer active so he decided that it was safe to reclaim the territory. He announced his plan to the faction and said he would give the corner to the person who made a small artpiece in the territory. The corner was claimed by Valbor who built a snowflake in the territory to mark it as his own.

Griefers

In the midst of these conflicts, and after they ended, the Blue corner was constantly attacked by a miscellaneous group of griefers who were generally active in game-chat. There we're multiple times they tried to turn the corners red, other times they would change the word "BLUE" which was written in each corner to "BOOB". The Blue Corner recieved essential help from the Chromatic Empire all throughout these conflicts. Scout107 would also spend a significant amount of time negotiating with the griefers on game chat, making truces, and sometimes permanent peace. Even though this was an effective way to end conflicts in the short term, it is very likely that the constant presence of Scout and other Knights of the Blue Corner in game-chat contributed to the annoyance with the faction that led to people joining the group of griefers.

The Green Corner

The most significant griefer during Canvas 63 was left, a member of frog pixels united, who started griefing the corner on the orange square by acing green pixels on it during the last few days of the event. Left was initially unsuccessful, but eventually he was able to turn the entire region green. This grief was the cleaned up by the combined efforts of the Knights and the Chromatic Empire. However, due to a treaty between Left's faction and the ChE, PineApple (Liam) decided that the Chromatic Empire would not defend the Green Corner, a decision which did not please either the Knights or the Empire at the time. Left would retake the corner on the orange square and, after a brief conflict, the Knights let him have it in exchange for peace.
