The Troll Face War was a series of major battles that took place on Canvas 41. On one side was Pride Faction supported by the League of Factions, and on the other side was a coalition of volunteers from Discord, 4chan, and 2ch loosely organized by members of The Refuge.

Timeline

October

First Battle - Oct. 14

Repelled by Pride with some LoF help. A projected 40 users were involved.

Second Battle ("Operation Backspring") - Oct. 17

The trollface got alarming progress but faced an overwhelming counterattack from Pride and the League of Factions. The largest battle yet, LoF was heavily involved, more than 115 accounts fought in this battle alone.

Smaller skirmishes - Oct. 18-23

Many griefs against the Pride template of varying intensity.

Third Battle - Oct. 24

A smaller battle which was won by Pride and the LoF after an intense and slow counter-invasion. Around 90 accounts were involved.

Trump sign attacks and griefing - Oct. 24-29

Pride made two concentrated efforts to cover a Trump sign made by some of the trollfacers; these were repelled. The Grilled-Scrung Fan Club and its affiliates also tried later but were defeated.

"Fourth Battle" and heavy griefs - Oct. 31

The smallest attack, repelled by Pride without LoF help. A projected 30 users were involved.

November

Fifth Battle ("Operation Iris") and attempted talks - Nov. 1

The troll facers flattened Pride resistance, and the LoF rushed into the conflict with not enough troops, leading to a defeat for the Pride-LoF side. This was the first time the trollface was fully completed. The defenders later reorganized and waged a grueling 9-hour counterattack to retake the template. During this time peace talks broke down between the two sides.

Sixth Battle, peace deal, and Turkish lira conflict - Nov. 2

While many Pride and LoF members were sleeping, a group of trollfacers rebuilt the troll face to somewhat light resistance. Peace talks restarted, leading to a non-aggression agreement and allowing Pride to build its template somewhere else--over the Turkish lira. However, the treaty faced immediate problems as 2ch rejected it and a large section of the other trollfacers followed Pride to their new location, spearheading continual attacks. Finally, Pride Faction announced that due to stress and it being so close to the US presidential election, they would temporarily stop Pxls projects. The League of Factions pulled out shortly after the announcement, effectively ending the war.

Aftermath

YOIB later started to cover the finished trollface with their own art, intending to move it somewhere else.
