Knights of the Blue Corner

The Knights of the Blue Corner were 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.

The Red Square.

The Blue Corner on the Red Square was owned by Green Wizard who claimed it by placing the "Buddy" artwork in that region, becoming it's canvas Marshall. He made an alliance with the Bubbles faction to the north.

The three other artworks in this corner we're made to make peace with griefers. The two my little ponies were made by the griefer Revenge666, and they were approved by the knights at first to appease him and then to comply with Imperial reforms. The other artwork, the Blue frog, was made to make peace with frisk as an alternative to his previous condition to stop griefing, that the word "BLUE" in that corner be changed to "BOOB".

The Yellow Square (Scout107)

The yellow square was claimed by Scout107 who initially drew an abstract scene representing two boats sailing into a storm and three swans flying away. This monochromatic artwork turned out to be too difficult to protect as it was easy to grief and allies mistook the abstract art for incomplete expansion. Eventually Scout decided preserving this art was too difficult, so he let his allies fill the corner in and then tried to draw the scene of Jonah and the Whale in the space that was left. He successfully drew the whale, but he gave up on drawing Jonah, leaving the whale as the only artpiece in the corner.

The Green Square (Scout107)

Despite the fact that a pattern of autumn leaves covered most of the green square in the final Canvas, Scout107 did ensure that there was 1 blue pixel in the bottom right of the Green square by getting approval from the owner of the art, Nanieye. This pixel was griefed multiple times, generally by revenge666, but it was generally left alone. The Knights of the Blue Corner wre forbidden to discuss the pixel publicly after the deal was made to avoid drawing attention to it.

The Purple Square (Valbor)

The purple square was claimed by Valbor who drew a cyan amongi looking into a cyan mirror in order to claim the square. Notably, Valbor is the only person besides Scout to have controlled more than one corner during Canvas 63 as he was also the canvas Marshall of the Orange Square after the Knights of the Blue Corner officially reclaimed it.

The purple square is also notable because nearly half of the corner's final territory was filled out before Scout claimed the corner for himself and expanded it at the start of the revival. Because most of the other corners practically started from scratch, this made the purple corner the largest Blue Corner on Canvas 63 before the start of the revival, and also the oldest, unless the Blue Square is counted.

Canvas 64

Because the last days of Canvas 63 were filled with conflict and we're quite stressful, the knights chose to rest as much as they could on this canvas, but they were griefed nonetheless, though not as constantly. The central design of the Blue Corner at this time was a knight which was made by Meepleomg. He had made the same design on the previous canvas near the location of the corner on the Yellow Square, but at that time it was black and white and not faction territory. The faction worked together to build this one piece of art and then just didn't expand, atleast not at first.

The Teal Corner

At the start of canvas 64, a guy emerged claiming to lead a faction called the teal corner who's goal was to turn the Blue Corner teal. He eventually did change the Blue Corner into the teal corner and recolored the knight, but he did this for the sole purpose of getting a screenshot and creating drama which could be written about later, so the knights made a truce, because he was persistent, allowing him to recolor the knight on the condition that he wouldn't change the color of the true corner until the very end.

Canine's expansion

While they were cleaning up the mess this caused, other people began to grief us. Eventually, a user name Canine began to create art right beside our knight and he was confused for a griefer. Once his intentions to build a dog were clear, he was allowed to make his artwork. Then he repeated this artwork and made a line of dogs witch stretched across the bottom of the canvas until it reached the other side of Pokepxls art on Canvas 64. while he was making more dogs, he was also turning the background around his dogs blue, singlehandedly doing more to expand the Blue Corner than all members of the faction combined even though he was not a knight of the Blue corner. This would encourage more knights to slowly expand the Blue Corner themselves.
