ManePxls
ManePxls is Pxls' resident Brony Faction, whose aim is to create art from the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
History
ManePxls was started by Discord user Valra Bellkeys#4497 on 4/24/18. Discussion about bringing ponies to pxls.space began in the Manechat Discord server between Valra Bellkeys#4497, danmur15#7432, ktmbandit (Siarnaq)#4606, and hydroglyphic#4775. ManePxls did not officially begin calling themselves "ManePxls" until after they moved to their secondary location on Canvas 10, originally writing "r/manechat" instead.
On July 4th, 2018, Valra Bellkeys#4497 handed leadership over to danmur15#7432, who has had control of the faction since.
On October 2nd, 2018, danmur15#7432 returned leadership to Valra Bellkeys#4497, citing IRL conflicts.
Projects
Canvas 10
ManePxls started out with big plans to invade OSU's art to gain a foothold on the canvas. This was ok to begin with but it got a few people angry, in and outside of pxls, so that plan was cancelled. After helping to repair the original artwork, ManePxls found a home on the right border, where they did not intervene with any other art for the duration of the canvas.
Canvas 11
Now with a more sizeable faction than canvas 10, ManePxls attempted to secure an area all to themselves by working with other factions in the Pxls Discord server. However, they got pushed out of their original spot (to the right of AFiP) and had to squeeze in between two pieces of artwork by Discord user dani26795#0181. As the Canvas progressed, ManePxls branched out into abandoned or empty spaces surrounding the 'core'.
It is also to be noted that two new factions came out of this canvas.
Rainbow Lattice
This is the first time Rainbow Lattice was used as infill. At this point it was still a part of ManePxls, but it would soon break off as it's own faction.
"Anti Bronie Coalation"[sic]
While an enemy of ManePxls, it is important to note that this was the first canvas where the "Anti Bronie Coalation"[sic] (ABC) began to harass ManePxls.
Canvas 13
This was the first canvas where ManePxls had its own designated area. Canvas 13 was relatively uneventful other than attacks from ABC towards the end and users writing funny phrases into the art while working. There was also a tribute to the main factions that ManePxls was allied with at the time, in between the apple and the FiM Fiction logo. These allies included (left to right) AFiP, Flower Lattice, Green Lattice, Red Lattice, Rainbow Road, and Rainbow Lattice.
Canvas 14
This was the largest area ManePxls took up across it's time on Pxls. This combined with a smaller than expected canvas caused more of the community to begin disliking ManePxls. Discord user Glitchdemall#0001 decided to start the message below ManePxls' area which was intended to say "You ponies need to make your area smaller. We want space too. -Pxls Community". However this did not end up this way as it became a meme within the community.
To help appease the community, ManePxls gave up a slot on the left side of their area to the newly formed LoL faction, which later became home to the Fox faction. Also, a cookie was added to the mouth of the grey bat pony "Miss Ping" by request of a few members of the community.
During the construction of the art, the members became worried that it would not be completed due to an increase in artwork size and a decline in active members. From this point on ManePxls would scale down it's plans each canvas.
Canvas 15
Instead of mostly art in the ManePxls area on canvas 15, Members' original characters were used, in the style of the game pony.town, as a sort of tribute to the members who made ManePxls possible.
Canvas 16
This canvas is currently active, and will be updated after the reset.
Conflicts
ManePxls invading OSU, Canvas 10
The newly formed ManePxls attempted to invade OSU, but surrendered due to community backlash.
Destruction of Woke Reich, Canvas 11
A coalition of ManePxls, AFiP, Cozy Vault, and a few other factions worked together to wipe out the Woke Reich.
Touhou invading AFiP, Canvas 14
A new Touhou faction coming from a russian imageboard attempted to invade AFiP, and multiple factions including ManePxls helped defend.
Red Blob invading Canada and others, Canvas 15
FunnyJunk users invaded Pxls and attempted to cover the canvas in red, and nearly the whole community helped push them back.
Abyss invading Germany, Canvas 15
ManePxls helped the Crusaders push back the Abyss after they had completely covered some artwork my the German faction.
Land dispute between ManePxls and Pixeloid, Canvas 16
after the reset, the canvas size was much smaller than expected, which caused ManePxls and Pixeloid to both be claiming the same area. ManePxls originally tried to solve the situation peacefully, but Pixeloid was being too harsh in their terms, in ManePxls' opinion, so ManePxls began to fight for the spot. Pixeloid was assisted by a few unaligned Pxls users, and ManePxls was assisted by AFiP. After about a day of fighting, Pixeloid leader Nudl#9532 contacted danmur15#7432 to discuss a cease fire. The terms were as follows:
- Pixeloid will cancel plans for Wildfire.
- ManePxls will assist Pixeloid in making Teto.
- All area previously held by Pixeloid will be considered free space.
Crusaders and Steins;Gate invading Abyss, Canvas 16
Although majoritively unprovoked, the Crusaders helped Steins;Gate build their art over the Abyss, and ManePxls came to help.
Pxls Community invading AFiP, Canvas 16
Many groups came together to remove the American flag made by AFiP, citing that it was too big for something so simple. ManePxls and Cozy Vault attempted to save AFiP, but they were unable to do more than stall the inevitable.
