Place '17

*Welcome to my introduction to understanding the Place '17 trophy!**

*Description:** A trophy to show you participated in the r/place 2017 April Fools event.

*How this was obtained:** To get this trophy you needed to place a tile on the canvas during the r/place 2017 April Fools event.

*How** **place** **'17 worked:** Users could place a single colored pixel (or "tile") on an online canvas of one million (1000 x 1000) pixel squares, and wait a certain amount of time before placing another. The waiting time varied from 5 to 20 minutes throughout the event, and the user could choose their pixel's color from a palette of sixteen colors. Users could come together to draw anything they desired one pixel at a time.

*Extra Information**:

Started April 1st, 2017 and ended April 3rd, 2017 lasting 72 hours.
The Place '17 trophy wasn't given out until 5 years later after the Place '22 event ended.
Place 2017 announcement[1], Place 2017 ending[2], Place 2017 being archived[3].
How place was built.[4]
Interestingly the final post on r/place before it was archived in 2017 was a user asking for a trophy.[5]

I remember participating in the 2017 Place event, but haven't gotten any trophy. Do you need to have a pixel on the final 2017 canvas for it to count?

So happy they finally gave this out!

Still sour that I wasn't popular enough to get the "Reddit Mold" trophy back in the day.
