The x190–SSPG conflict was a series of battles between x190 and the Super Serious Pixel Group, including KRTOG, that primarily took place on Canvas 60a. At various points, the Chromatic Empire intervened in the conflict on the side of x190.

Background

KRTOG is a faction led by fisk. They had joined the Super Serious Pixel Group at the end of Canvas 60, due to their previous participation in the Space Collab — which served as SSPG's predecessor. Fisk had been missing for a few weeks by the beginning of Canvas 60a, so ARdude and several other SSPG members recreated a "ginger kek" emote on canvas.

x190 is a faction mainly led by D_Leeo, and consists of many high count players. They had built a few small pieces to fit on the canvas.

Both x190 and elements of SSPG had been helping the Chromatic Empire in the Crucible War, which broke out at the start of Canvas 60a.

Timeline

Start of the conflict

The KRTOG-built Kek emote and x190's art were right next to each other. Before fighting broke out, AliceNobodi reported blue outlines being made on the Kek. The culprit was unidentifiable, since Canvas 60a was a snip canvas.

Fighting broke out when x190 under D_Leeo began a full attack on the Kek art. Due to the -snip- gimmick, negotiations in Pxls chat were almost impossible, especially since D_Leeo refused to disclose who was raiding the art for several hours. ARdude suggested that moving the Kek art would be the best decision for the situation, and was agreed with to an extent. D_Leeo suggested placing the new art in the center of the barely-started MikuAM[1], but this proposal was rejected, and construction began in a new spot near the center of the canvas.

Fisk's return, diplomacy, and SSPG counter-raids

Fisk returned midway through canvas. They intended to reopen the conflict by planning a counterattack was planned to rebuild the Kek art in its original position. During this time, a Group DM with many high-ranking Super Serious Pixel Group members and Chromatic Emperor pineApple (an ally of x190) was created to attempt to prevent fighting on canvas. However, the three involved parties had different ideas on how to resolve the conflict and negotiations fell through. SSPG managed to take x190 by surprise with a counterattack raid, which started to gain ground.

Choosing not to defend against the counterattack, x190 began to grief the relocated Kek art. Both sides were making significant ground on each others artwork, instead of confronting each other. Several SSPG members dropped out of the offensive and began to retake the original Kek, which was under severe threat. Though their efforts started to gain progress, it was to be short-lived.

Intervention of the Chromatic Empire

To prevent D_Leeo from dropping out of the Crucible War and out of a desire to end the squabbling between the two blocs[2], pineApple launched an intervention by the Chromatic Empire which quickly resulted in the defeat of SSPG and an enforced peace.

Aftermath

See also: x190–CPSF conflict

After the loss, the Super Serious Pixel Group was incredibly demoralized. ARdude began a faction called Coalition for the Protection of Small Factions (CPSF), a League of Factions-like group aimed at protecting small art and factions. AR continued to have run-ins with D_Leeo and disagreements over the use of the r-slur. The arguments reached a climax when ARdude attempted to rebuild a small art that had been overrun by x190's lattice on Canvas 61. This conflict led to them being banned from Flandre, and eventually the end of CPSF.
