R/place

In 2017 reddit.com held an event where users could place a pixel every 10 minutes, which was later lowered to 5 minutes. During this event, the Goons had scoped out a vacant location right next to the Super Smash Bros display. They had the combined efforts of the Smash Bros reddit page expanding and building their section. The goons had a simple plan. They would build a small "GOON" to the bottom right of their section in black text. They began their build but soon came into trouble when they encountered their arch nemesis. Worcester Polytechnic Institute also known as WPI. WPI would bully GOON and steal their spot for their own initials. On top of that, the Smash Bros were expanding and slowly consuming both WPI and GOON.

GOON would infiltrate the Smash Bros r/place discord server and begin diplomacy. Notpockets headed the charge alongside Nubby, Wyvos, The Dugget and Lune Boy. Slowly GOON would gain influence in the server, and rally the troops to support, help and protect them. One of the first outsiders to truly help influence and sway the server was Windy aka Galaxas. The server owner Darko eventually acknowledged them and they would recover their lost GOON logo. The GOON logo would be rebuild bigger and better than before.

However, GOON would not survive to see the final canvas. It would slowly be encompassed by the same people who spared them in the first place. As not all r/place contributors were not on the same page, the GOON logo would come under attack hours before the canvas would be locked in place. GOON did not survive to see the final page. Papa Randian was the last line of defense when it came under attack late in the evening but one man was not enough to hold back the horde. It was a largely unifying moment for Goon Town as many of the members took part in constructing the GOON, including Patzilla, Killabyte and Koolaidjay.
