'''The r/place Romanian Trollface''' was an event held by [[OkPrietenRetardat]], between April 1 and April 4, 2022, in which OKPR v2 Discord server users participated in the creation of a trollface with the Romanian flag, a well-known symbol of the subreddit, on the [https://www.reddit.com/r/place/ r/place] canvas. The drawing was kept alive thanks to the help provided by [https://www.reddit.com/r/pMegu/ r/pMegu] during the event, with which an alliance was created that holds up even today.
'''The r/place Romanian Trollface''' was an event held by [[OkPrietenRetardat]], between April 1 and April 4, 2022, and again on July 20, 2023, in which OKPR Discord server users participated in the creation of a trollface with the Romanian flag, a well-known symbol of the subreddit, on the [https://www.reddit.com/r/place/ r/place] canvas. In both cases, the drawing was kept alive thanks to the help provided by [https://www.reddit.com/r/pMegu/ r/pMegu] during the event, with which an alliance was created that holds up even today.

On July 19, 2023, following the huge success of the last canvas edition and the recent turmoil on Reddit, the r/place subreddit announced the decision to reinstate the third edition of the canvas. Next day, at around 16:10 local time (14:10 UTC), the canvas opened to everyone.
 
Netflix’s son was the first to announce the OKPR server via Mihailul about the event, thanks to the users from r/pMegu. And again they, along with Edward, encouraged the server to join them and to help recreating the well-known trollface.
 
==== Early times ====
The trio, along with Mihai3, RT and others, were waiting for the subreddit to open its canvas. Immediately as it opened, the users found a good spot for drawing the trollface, the first pixel being placed by Edward at coordinates <code>172;267</code>. RT helped organizing the members to ease the drawing by creating 2 channels for the discussions regarding r/place, #place-general and #place-info. Meanwhile, the r/Romania Discord server members were aware about the event, but very unorganized and without a well-elaborated plan for drawing. Eventually they found the trollface and decided to draw a flag close to it.
 
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 r/placeRO, in order to unite them with OKPR members and thus to form an alliance. After an hour, it was decided to abandon the drawing of the trollface and focus on expanding and protecting the Romanian flag.

Many great pictures of the progress of the drawing were posted on r/pMegu's Discord server, but due to an admin's account being hacked, it was deleted and many pictures were lost or left out of order.<gallery>
