Has the XS Community ever done something like this?

[XmikeX]

It appears as if the

ENTIRE
ONLINE
COMPONENT
OF THE
NATION OF FINLAND

is currently online (and have been FOR DAYS), defending their flag on

http://two.drawball.com

against the likes of 4chan's /b/ forum.

Has XS ever been this passionate...... on anything? .... over anything?

What is /b/? This looks more like the work of ebaum's world to me.

That thing is SLOW!

Sorry, I don't get it. What am I missing here?

[MomijiTMO]

I drew smilie faces on the 4 penis's I found. Oh and I made 3 swastikas into windows.

It seems there is a giant flag of Finland and people can go on and deface it and the Finlandians (??) have to draw over their vandalism to keep their flag looking pretty? (Just trying to use my age to make an educated guess)

[Speederlander]

Wow, and I thought reality TV was a waste of life.

[TSXmike]

interesting...

[Jochenp]

My ink ran out when I was trying to draw the biggest penis out there Now it's like a big wand without a sack.

[MomijiTMO]

Ahahahhahaha

Story is that /b/ (4chan) tried to set up their "Awesome" logo on the drawball.

Finland, apparently took exception to this.... and war commenced.

If you want to participate (on either side or sides) but you're not in the mood to mess around, try running a script to maximize your ink and damage delivered to the opponent(s).

For example, on windows.. you could download the free program "autohotkey"

http://www.autohotkey.com/

and use a simple script to start off with, like the following autohotkey script :


;Made by G____
;Sets focus to the drawball, alter this if you are using IE like a :banana::banana::banana:.

Click 680, 440 ;Clicks onto the center of the drawball on my screen.

;Comment the next line back in if you want to wait 3 seconds before you start the shenanagins.
;Sleep, 3000

;The number here (i start with 20) is how many times the loop runs. Alter this at your leisure.

Loop, 15 {
Loop, %Inc%{
MouseMove, 0, -10, 10, R ;Up

Loop %Inc%{
MouseMove, -10, 0, 10, R ;Left

Loop, %Inc%{
MouseMove, 0, 10, 10, R ;Down

Loop, %Inc%{
MouseMove, 10, 0, 10, R ;Right
Click
}

Inc++
}

Exit

This will set up a rectangular pattern of dots at the baseline draw level that, when zoomed out, will solidify a bit under drawball's resize algorithm. (The point is to disrupt the opponent's pattern at the top level .. current top level pattern is .. of course .. the Flag of Finland )

Depending on your dot pattern, you could choose a medium or so dot size and you'll be saving more ink while you maximize damage . Of course, there is more to this nonsense : feints.. counter-attacks.. decoys.. phalanx moves.. teamwork.. and many hours wasted -- lots of fun for the whole family, ages 5 to 90.

Ink levels are based on IP address and time. First run, you get 5% ink-level. Subsequent runs refill to 100% over time (a few hours at first). The more you draw, the faster it refills.

I don't know if anyone will try or have tried...lol

[Hidetaka]

I don't get it... Who cares about some /b/s drawing on some flag?

[Speederlander]

I don't get it... Who cares about some /b/s drawing on some flag?

My point exactly...

[MomijiTMO]

It's a raid. The most memorable raid was on a chat bot that would 'learn' words and phrases from the people it communicated with. I think it was bucket or something. Well by day's end, it spewed racist garbage.

[jcool]

Wow, what an enormous waste of time and energy.

Is XS ever that passionate about anything, you ask? Well, you certainly haven't visited the DC forums a lot yet

[MomijiTMO]

Wow, what an enormous waste of time and energy.

Yup =p. Great form of entertainment to kids.

[SoulsCollective]

Drawball.

Serious intercoursing business.

Back in like 05-06 I came across drawball and it was fun for a bit as people actually did really nice pieces and if the site admins liked them, they were set to not be screwed up by anyone else. The challenge is to start something and keep going back and re touch it up and or expand on it to create something really good.

The challenge is the ignorant tools that intentionally deface someones piece.

They used to have a page (nto sure if they still do) of pieces that were completed and you could go back and watch it being done, stroke by stroke so for those that are artistic and determined it is a way to show your talent.

If you want to see what started DB and pieces that are well done then check out the link below.

A lot of talent from across the globe.
Here is draw ball one http://one.drawball.com/

I don't know if it counts as dedication, but I spent today writing and refining software to help out team Finland. It uses staggered dot patterning with AI decision making on where to put ink so as to clear off as much graffiti as possible as quickly as possible with as little ink as is necessary to achieve the effect. It even determines where on your screen the draw ball is, makes a 92% radial crop for work space, etc. All you have to do is point it at graffiti/defacements and setup the brush.

[Jochenp]

How about we try it with a logo of our own? I'd like to see how fast we as a team could change the outcome of this drawball. If even 1/10 of the people folding would just add this app to their startup folder, could we own the place in 2 days? Some sort of friendly "gang war"

[[XC] Oj101]

I really don't understand the site, it's blank with a line in the middle?

[fallwind]

LOL, the site has now been hacked! "HaCKeD bY eBauMsWoRLd.CoM"

[Jochenp]

A shame really, I bet it's the likes of /b/ that did this, they always try to blame their raids on eBaums too...
