          Fanfic = fiction written by fans of a certain work (series, book, etc.) Sometimes deviating from the original story, sometimes adding stuff or fixing plot holes, sometimes pairing characters into a romantic relationship…

          Lemon = smut, sexually explicit fanfic.

          In this case it’s being called “fanfic” metaphorically, as if both people in the chat were characters of some work.

    Poor aussie.zone didn’t stand a chance to get their flag in

    Edit: Oh except for the tiny one I see there!

      I remember them mentioning some technical problem, right at the start. I kind of used the opportunity to write the “fuck flags // fuck nations // we’re in a single Earth” text, right where they’d make the union jack. Then I saw people actually making a background for it and thought “yeah, no huge Australian flag this time”.

          While there were flags everywhere, I felt like there were a lot fewer than these things usually have, at least.

            I managed to overwrite half of the long German flag near the bottom, plus the original/lower South African flag, the Czech flag, and the Polish flag. I also did like a third of the background to your message and changed the “in” to “on”. I didn’t join the Matrix/Discord but your message is what motivated me to do all that, so maybe you’re better at recruiting than you think 😉

              when the long german flag was steadily getting longer, i thought, “hmm, what might stop germans advancing eastward?” and placed the polish and czechoslovak (identical to modern czech) flags in their path.

              it only stopped them for a while, (but they did go underneath instead of overwriting)

                What’s the story with the wiggly green line? Are those the 6 green pixels on the large German flag?

                  For a lot of the game, I was shaving the German flag’s sides, top and bottom. My goal was to leave the text alone (it’s cool), but with the LGBTQ+ flag as a background. After all, once the Australian flag went MIA, the largest country flag in the canvas was the German one.

                  However, since I was doing it by myself and plenty users were reverting my “creative deflation” of the German flag, we quickly reached a standstill.

                  So I thought on the best way to make at least some vandalism last forever, for a final act of defiance against my Schweinekatze Siegfrieda waking me up 3AM out of nowhere country flags. The solution was to place them in the last seconds of the canvas, somewhere it would be easy for me to plop them all together, but you had to change colours to undo it. Somewhere close to each other for visibility. The net result was a wiggling line between the red and yellow.

    Thank you for setting it up again this year!

    I was trying to make “LCP” above the Hololive logo. I made the P and was working on the C when I started to feel unwell and stepped away from my computer.

    Wasn’t able to get back to it later unfortunately, so now it just looks like a :P emoticon 😛😅

    Was this one shorter than last years? Seems like things didn’t change much once things were initially sketched out.
