	Unexpectedly, the server membership count grew at an exponential rate, bringing with it both Romanian and foreign members from tens of different comunities and subreddits involved in r/place.

The server focused on maintaining the Romanian flag and protecting the artworks of the allied communities, without it being easy for them.

	In 2017, the waiting time varied from 5 to 20 minutes throughout the experiment, and the user could choose their pixel's color from a palette of sixteen colors. In the 2022 edition, the canvas was eventually expanded to four million (~~2000 x 2000~~) pixel squares, and the palette gradually gained sixteen more colors for a total of 32.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/place</ref>		In 2017, the waiting time varied from 5 to 20 minutes throughout the experiment, and the user could choose their pixel's color from a palette of sixteen colors.

	40 minutes after the canvas opened, the Romanian trollface was griefed by r/Romania members who wanted to create the Romanian flag, and by strangers who just wanted to delay the progress. In order to keep in touch with the Romanian redditors, Edward created an additional Discord server called PlaceRO, in order to unite them with OKPR members and thus to form an alliance, making the previous 2 channels on OKPR obsolete and archiving them. After an hour, it was decided to abandon the drawing of the trollface and focus on expanding and protecting the Romanian flag.<ref>https://new.reddit.com/r/Romania/comments/154tm8f/salut_haide%C8%9Bi_pe_rplace/</ref>		40 minutes after the canvas opened, the Romanian trollface was griefed by r/Romania members who wanted to create the Romanian flag, and by strangers who just wanted to delay the progress.

At midnight on June 24, around 1:00 AM local time, it was announced that the Romanian trollface shall be the next artwork drawn on the flag, in order to secure the Romanian piece of canvas with more artworks. After half an hour, the already tired online members managed to recreate the OKPR symbol at the coordinates <code>-287,80</code>, which will stand mostly untouched for the rest of the event.

	After some 90 minutes, it was proposed to create the artwork at around the coordinates <code>785,530</code>, and so it began the first attempt. There were some fears about the brutal advancement of the Ukrainian flag towards the trollface, but the project didn't stop.

	r/place was a collaborative project and social experiment hosted on Reddit on April Fools' Day 2017 and repeated again on April Fools' Day 2022. The experiment was based in a subreddit witt the same name, in which individual users could place a single colored pixel on an online canvas of one million (1000 x 1000) pixel squares, and wait a certain amount of time before placing another.		r/place was a collaborative project and social experiment hosted on Reddit on April Fools' Day 2017 and repeated again on April Fools' Day 2022.

	In 2017, the waiting time varied from 5 to 20 minutes throughout the experiment, and the user could choose their pixel's color from a palette of sixteen colors. In the 2022 edition, the canvas was eventually expanded to four million (2000 x 2000) pixel squares, and the palette gradually gained sixteen more colors for a total of 32. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/place</ref>		In 2017, the waiting time varied from 5 to 20 minutes throughout the experiment, and the user could choose their pixel's color from a palette of sixteen colors.

			It isn't known when the OKPR v2 server was first notified about this event (although on the opening day the server members were already aware a few hours before the start), nor who was the first person to announce the server about this experiment. It is certainly known that [[RomanianMemer\|Mihailul]], Netflix's son and Edward were some of the event initiators.
