Paint et al. r/placerussia +3 unorganised factions (PNG Abusers, migrants from Art Supporters, and Unorganised Forces)

Re:struct is a single united representative faction on PXLS. Its members create distinctive, miscellaneous art, usually not involving anime. The faction is populated with players conscious about culture in general and wishing to represent it on the PXLS canvas.

Re:struct consists of multiple departments. Meta Re:struct, the area that usually contains a large portion of Re:struct's artistic works, is a union of off-site factions Paint et al., r/placerussia, PNG Abusers, and a few isolated members of Art Supporters. Re:struct also leads and manages the operations of Slavborea and Metro.

History

Before PXLS

Origins

Re:struct's founding factions hailed from a variety of pixel websites.

Paint et al. is a faction from a rival website themed after more modern versions of r/place. Formed as a coalition of artists against bot players, Paint et al. exhibited most of its activity on the now deleted Canvas 2, where it conquered and/or annexed a majority of the canvas. Following the canvas's closure, the group was barely active for a few years.

r/placerussia is the main Reddit Place faction dedicated to drawing art related to Russia. The faction had its best ever attempt at securing a spot occur on the 2023 event, where they received a very generous land donation from the French faction Grand Napoleonic Army. Russians met and collaborated with Paint et al. to design the pixel art for their faction. Russia was a prime target of the Ukrainian national faction, which had overwhelming support in relation to the real-world war in Ukraine and sought to destroy any and all Russian flags around the r/place canvas. The Russian flag territory was filled instead by an aro-ace pride flag, albeit in a surprising turn of events, these people came back to apologise months after the event's conclusion.

The PNG abusers are currently a dying faction within Re:struct, with every one of the original members having left and the faction being left unmanaged. In its prime, it was a faction created to remove art, and to conquer everything with an ordinary void. This faction was very dedicated to its cause, being a regular source of trouble for many factions on the multitude of websites on which it operated. It had an official lattice, a grid of white and light grey similar to the transparency placeholder texture, albeit it hasn't been used often in practice.

Couping a Small Website

to-do: gain clearance to write about controversy on rival websites, which led to the formation of Re:struct and the departing of its collective to PXLS

Formation of Re:struct

Re:struct was created on February 8, 2024, and quickly reached 50 members in the first week. The community faced regular plaguing issues, notably revolving around its edgy community. After a few weeks, the PNG abusers fully quit, leaving an empty faction; despite this, the community managed to secure partnerships with a series of political hangout servers, and as such managed to continue its steady growth. Some users of the server landed in a conflict with one such partner by rigging its mock election system to grant the victory to Archimes, who then used the presidency to establish the partnership. The infamous protests against user censorship began when the server was reformed with better rules and enabled community features in response to the conflict.

Canvas 80

Archimes discovered PXLS during Canvas 80 and brought a limited portion of the Re:struct collective onto the website to draw a small logotype of Russian TV channel 2x2, as well as assisting the GRID. Re:struct didn't participate in major faction politics aside from getting allied user VAMLOV and his Slovakia faction into a conflict with user MotH.

On PXLS

Canvas 81

Before the canvas began, an alliance of Slavic peoples began its formation. Involved in the project were r/placerussia, Polonia, delegates from PPFSerbia, Slovakia.

Re:struct's inaugural artwork for Canvas 81 was a Slavic firebird displaying its wings and tail in flight in front of a cloudy sky. This bird was forced to reposition multiple times, ending up in an abandoned area formerly belonging to the Cirno Embassy. The faction maintained healthy ties with the Chromatic Empire and Deltarune, while giving away a ton of space to Space PXLS, Brazil, GRID, and the Slavborea project. The Art Supporters wholeheartedly established an alliance with Re:struct shortly after the canvas opened.

The proximity of Re:struct to Osu's main territories caused trouble for the faction. Re:struct lost a useless lattice battle, aiming to contain all of the Slavic artwork on one lattice, due to the area covered by the proposed lattice being in the way of Osu's goal to claim one specific territory to the north of Re:struct's main areas. A devastating blow was dealt against the GRID, which saw all but one of its cells replaced with art by Neuro-Sama's Swarm, who claimed the entire art was over flags being built in them; the only flag in the lattice at the time of the attack was one for Liberia. These conflicts kicked off the Grid War, in which Re:struct participated on the GRID's side.
