Did I get any different trophies for going all the way to the end of the banning loop?
Also does the number of tries until you get there matter? As in: how fast I get banned
Once we got banned from all the fields, was that it? I was expecting to get unbanned to play again but never happened. The links just took me to the reddit games, which to be honest aren't great. But I played a few of them expecting it to take me to the next thing.
On your account under the “about” tab you can see trophies. Some are for doing things on your account, others are for participating in events like r/place and r/field
Oh my Goddd, do I get an Official "April Fool" trophy??? This will be so great. April is my birth month. I was born on the last day opposite of first. Let's Go FlamingoGangWorldDomination. THE April Fools.
This would have been more enjoyable had Reddit not bound it to an ad for /r/GamesOnReddit. Old Reddit would have just put a Play Again button and let everyone figure things out from there. Whoever directed the team to link these two things suffocated the potential of this one.
Plus a game breaking bug actually banned the heaviest power users (which I presume was faulty bot detection).
This experience shows we all got “fooled” into QA testing a new games platform while being prompted to repeatedly click an advertisement for the platform at the end of every game. In other words, there was no heart in this year’s experience and I hope Reddit gets back to treating us on April 1 instead of using us to meet a corporate end goal.
It was also an infuriating experience overall.
The games being tied to a post which you needed to find in a sea of other posts before you could launch it makes zero sense.
My guess is that Flamingo was claiming more pixels but there were more people on Sunshine getting through all four fields and claiming the big “point” on the last one.
Edit: Apparently getting banned was the real way to earn points for your team.
Yep! You could claim a field by having more of your team color overall, but that’s a red herring - the game points were earned by finding the ban boxes and getting banned.
You wanted to get banned repeatedly. The goal of the game was to be banned many times as possible (find 4 ban boxes/tiles in the 4 different levels turned into a point) NOT placing the colored tiles. The game told you as soon as you found a ban box/tile and would prompt you to click through another colored level.
For example I’d place 0-10 orange tiles and then I’d find a ban tile. Then I’d be kicked to the next level where I repeat the same actions and ultimately find a ban box/tile. At the end of the 4 cycles it tells you you’ve earned a point for your team.
You could earn a point for your team in under a minute.
Man, I was in sunshine, and I got 'fully' banned twice really quickly, I then must've placed several hundred squares on the main field without getting a ban and then stopped playing. Didn't think that'd mean I was UNLUCKY rather than lucky...
Thankyou for the fun, that felt a lot more relaxing than other events, even though it did get bugged for some people and they got locked out. :(
#teamflamingo4life
Ugh, I devoted a couple hours to playing intensely before getting randomly locked out and not being able to participate in the final to help my fellow flamingos. Super disappointing. :(
The only *TRUE* way to get points was to get banned 4 times and go to r/WhatIsField and repeat the cycle. What a stupid game. Getting banned was a good thing.
For a team to claim r/BannedField or r/BananaField was actually bad for said team, as it forced the members who claimed enough squares to go back (to r/Field or r/BannedField respectively). Hence delaying them from getting to r/WhatIsField.
It seems that claiming r/Field didn't have such a penalty, and it didn't affect points. However, I guess it was bad as it lead to being declared the April Fool.
This was really diappointing, just random clicking and then you're out of the game before you even understood it. The moving around subreddits gimmick is fun, but it could've been utilized better.
I think Reddit kind of backed themselves into a corner with the April Fools Experiments, they created something so amazing in 2017 that everything else will forever be underwhelming. And tbh, they ruined r/Place a bit when they did it just a year after the last one. There needs to be a long wait for it to be exciting.
got annihilated, but I didn’t understand the goal to begin with.
The actual ‘goal’ was finding ban boxes and getting ‘banned’ from the game. That earned points for your team.
I was purposely only pressing 3 or so tiles a day to NOT get banned...
April fools!
Wow they got us hahahahhahhahhh! Now can we have place back?
I was looking for bans just to get over with the game lol
LOL. I got banned 4 times in like 2 minutes.
I literally made it to WhatIsField lol
So you're saying there were like 1.5 million ban boxes pressed?
yeah, you can still play after that though
Not always. You could get banned permanently, like me. I first ban I was able to go back. Second ban was permanent.
Never found out what gets you perma banned.
There are a series of games you will need to get banned from
Yeah, i went through all pf it too but it never reset/let me back into the OG one. :/ it was a known and reported bug that never got fixed.
Same, got insta ban up to bananafield then permabanned in 2min after I discovered the game.
I played the game right!
but I'm in Juicebox so yeah
Me too! Juicebox wasn’t a very motivated group but I’m betting we’re just chill like that.
It really wasn't. Of course I was on a losing team. I'm glad about that. I'd rather lose, especially around April Fools.
I was in juicebox too, I got banned in my attempt to spell “poo”, there’s an unfinished “p” somewhere on the board.
oh, you were SUPPOSED to get banned, interesting
When losing is actually the winning move lmao
NOOOOO I was so methodical in trying to avoid the mines! Will I still get a participation trophy? Plz sensei
yeah, I thought it had to do with the blocks.
That's actually hilarious, the points are just bans.
Did I get any different trophies for going all the way to the end of the banning loop? Also does the number of tries until you get there matter? As in: how fast I get banned

Oh. Hooray! I "won"!!!
The only interesting thing about this was when I was told my enemy was sunshine
Happy cake day!
Also Viva la juicebox!
at least lasagna didn’t come last :D
also when do we get trophies
Trophies will arrive within a week!
Banned
The trophy is a ban. Calling it now.
I hope so. I read that we were going to be deported to 9gag.
[deleted]
cool :D
Yay trophies! Thanks for letting us know acid 💪
trophies! trophies!
What are trophies
On your account under the “about” tab you can see trophies. Some are for doing things on your account, others are for participating in events like r/place and r/field
Oh my Goddd, do I get an Official "April Fool" trophy??? This will be so great. April is my birth month. I was born on the last day opposite of first. Let's Go FlamingoGangWorldDomination. THE April Fools.
Me too. Birthday twins 🙌 And I am on Flamingo team too!
Neat!
*cries in Juicebox*
Lasagna was fighting so hard!
Woah hi

Disappointing year

This
I didn't think much besides "this was lame", but putting it in that perspective, it is so fucking INCREDIBLY lame.
thank you for reminding me to leave r/GamesOnReddit
How else will stock prices go up?
It was all a self-Advertisement to drive traffic to a part of the site they likely spent good money developing, but no one cares about.
He protec He attac But most importantly, He /u/whicketywack
Congratulations, Sunshine Folks!
Wait WHAT!? But we, the Flamingos, were in first place in all the 3 rounds yesterday... :/
My guess is that Flamingo was claiming more pixels but there were more people on Sunshine getting through all four fields and claiming the big “point” on the last one.
Edit: Apparently getting banned was the real way to earn points for your team.
DAMN we lost our momentum by our confidence of winning the first day 😂
You mean more bots. . .
I know this is dumb, but I'm actually loving that we got the Fooled Trophy rather than the winner trophy.
Just feels right.
I drew flamingos and hearts all over the Field. That's the real win condition in my eyes :)
and team sunshine got more points
Yep! You could claim a field by having more of your team color overall, but that’s a red herring - the game points were earned by finding the ban boxes and getting banned.
I imagine the corporate meeting where they decided these rules, lol...
It was an April Fools prank.
Yeah I though we were going to win.
Is crazy how Team Sunshine managed to beat us...
At least we April fools
Damn, I joined late, thought we were playing minesweeper and clicked a couple of boxes and saw we were winning. So I thought my work here is done lol.
It's flamingover
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine ☀️🌻~
You make me happpieeee
Hell yeah lets go team sunshine! Great job to all of us! (I have no idea what is happening)
I too shined the sun, fellow sunshiner 🌄
Maybe they'll hook us all up with some lifetime bans for getting the most bans.
I still don't understand
You wanted to get banned repeatedly. The goal of the game was to be banned many times as possible (find 4 ban boxes/tiles in the 4 different levels turned into a point) NOT placing the colored tiles.

Hell yeah!!!! Thank you sunshine!!!
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Yay team Sunshine! ☀️
Let's go team! :)
Let's goooooo team sunshineeeee!!
Let’s go team!!!
I was on team sunshine yay ☀️
good
morningevening sunshine🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
Team ☀️ baby!
as a Juicebox I am so sad
ya i'm in team Sunshine
I didn't get the point of this one
The point was to get you to visit reddit's new games sub that they are promoting.
Well that part was clear, but the "gameplay" over past promotions and whatnot. This was an odd one.
I wasted six minutes of my life on this and I regret it tremendously
Team lasagna 😁
Man team lasangna and myself got wreck huh
Diamond Diablo! Nice avatar, dude!
What a twist.
NOOO JUICEBOX
I was team sunshine and had no idea what was going on other than clicking boxing and giving up because nothing happen and reset everytime you left.
Can I get a FUCK ELON
and fuck spez’s shitty ass too
I still don't know how this game works
How many trophies are there? To win? 🏆
Aw man, Team Juicebox came in last. Bummer.
Go Sunshine!! GGs everyone :)
Thankyou for the fun, that felt a lot more relaxing than other events, even though it did get bugged for some people and they got locked out. :(

So... what are the prizes?
Trophies on your account, coming in a week!
Actually shocked Sunshine beat Flamingo. Flamingo looked to have the edge on literally every field.
Holla at lasagna for keeping their heads in the game. We were behind from the start but we never let the Juicers get a foothold over us.
The only *TRUE* way to get points was to get banned 4 times and go to r/WhatIsField and repeat the cycle. What a stupid game. Getting banned was a good thing.

I was on Team Flamingo.
Juicebox forever!
This wasn't fun at all.
FUCK SPEZ
First Place!! How do I claim?
Okay.
Also, fuck spez
The game was about as appealing as a trip to the proctologist.
i never understood how this game even worked. it was very badly explained or... not explained at all.
😑
w sunshine
Yay my team won!
How do I revert my icon back? I didn’t ask for this in the first place lol
we flamingos lost :(
Black girl magic
Oh snap…so me just going nuts and getting banned from all 4 in like 5 minutes was a good thing??
I still don’t even know how this works
congratulations to everyone that survived (and everyone that contributed but did not survive as well)
LETS GO SUNSHIIIINEEEEEEEE
As a fellow Sunshine, WE RULE!
I thought flamingo would win. Feels nice that my team won. Congrats everyone
Fuck spez
Fuck spez
As a team sunshiner, I knew we would win (in actual fact I forgot this event existed, bring back /r/place)
can these four snoos be added as wearable avatars 🥺
F spez
The game wasn't fun at all.
YAAAYY GO SUNSHINE TEAM
Well, at least my team won.
This was really diappointing, just random clicking and then you're out of the game before you even understood it. The moving around subreddits gimmick is fun, but it could've been utilized better.

Sunshine!
Hey I was on team sunshine. Yay….
Team Sunshine 🌞! What did we win?
When do we get the avatars?
🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
Fuck bots
Lol flamingo winning until the bot army showed up.
Yaaassss
Shine bright!!!!
so many bans. #teamflamingo
,,,,o.0,,,,
Well neat! Team Sunshine all the way!
I joined a little late I think.
Ended up on sunshine. I was super confused. I just clicked a billion boxes til I was banned. Hopefully I helped? Lol
At least I survived (I contributed exactly 1 square)
☀️☀️
Flamingo 🦩 4Life
Yaaaaaay!!!! I want my trophy!
Congrats Sunshine. Still proud of my team Flamingo! 🦩 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
Neat
Second place ✊✊
Can someone explain how sunshine would have the most points but not win a single round? Like if flamingo always won how did sunshine beat them?
Because apparently you NEEDED to get banned to score points
Go sunshine!
All Reddit games should have trophies
Third place... at least Lasagna wasn't last
Go Sunshine!
Some people still managed to make some art with the limited pallet and chances, is there any plan to release the 100% filled canvases?
Typical. I never win anything.
I was flamingo and think we did great! Good job team 🦩
Sunshine!
Is there a reason we don’t have flairs with our team name?
Yess, we slay sunshines :)
This game sucked so bad. I guarantee no one knew the rules.
Who was Flamingo? All flamingos react here 🦩
https://www.reddit.com/r/Field/s/4knWiOA3Mw
I make a draw for our team 💪🏻
flamingopower
Real April fools is giving the losing team the trophies and awarding bans to those who come first.....then banning the losing team too.
I am team sunshine, I have no idea what's going on but I'm a winner 🏆
Can we see the final field somewhere ?
Woo-hoo sunshine 🌞
Yea... I was team flamingo 🦩 and I didn't know what TF I was doing. Glad to see I'm not the only one who was confused 🤔
This Kinda Sucked
Oh.. it's already over? That was fast..
And also had no idea what was going on
Of course I got Juicebox lol
YES! ever since flamingo had a lead when i played, i didnt think sunshine could make a comeback
I’m just gonna say my contribution definitely pushed sunshine in front. Thank me later.
Flamingoat
YEAHHH LET"S GO SUNSHINE
wtf juicebox
The game was rigged against the flamingos
Woo, let's go sunshine 🔥🔥🔥so proud to have contributed to this
yo I won
I was on team sunshine, What'd we win?
I still don't understand how it was supposed to work.
I saw a blank canvas, turned a bunch of black boxes blue then gave up because nothing was happening
Good try team falmingo
I got banned once and assumed that was it
I think I was sunshine
I won 🥳
I was on the winning team- do we get a trophy?
wasn't i supposed to recieve a trophy?
Okay, so where’s my trophy? I don’t see anything on my profile.
Sunshine FTW.
