Fun fact: It's my OC, she's very athletic, though her special talent is virtual soccer.

This is cool, I might help out
Group name: EU flags
Matrix: https://chat.fediverse.events/#/room/#euflags-canvas:aftermath.gg
Fun fact: the Flag of Europe in the middle of the template is way older than the European Union, from 1953.
Note: The flags for this year were not selected by me, but are those that people drew during Canvas 2024. I reorganized them to reduce the number of places where identical colors touch. I also reserved a spot for up to 4 newcomers.
Group name: None, individual drawing. I'm just reserving the space in case anyone wants to do stuff that interacts with it (like critters climbing it, etc.)
Matrix: none
Template: link
Fun fact: it's a tree. Very wood. Much leafy.
Group: Squared Circle
Template: Here
We're a bunch of pro wrestling fans. The colors of the ring ropes might change depending on what gets drawn near/ behind us. We're also open to people drawing characters peeking through the ropes.

- Group name: Parabellum.
- Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#parabellum-canvas:matrix.org
- template URL: N/A, see note.
- Fun fact: named after Caesar's "si uis pacem, para bellum" (if you want peace, prepare for war).
NOTE: the group's goal is to coordinate attacks against the largest country flag in the canvas, whichever it is. Void, random doodling, etc. is welcome.
further info, including channel rules.
Channel rules:
- Be a reasonable and decent human being. (e.g. no bigotry)
- No divisive off-topic or NSFW content.
- No fragmenting the movement from the inside: apology to large country flags, JAQing off, sealioning, etc. This will be strictly enforced.
- No cheating, doxxing, or encouragement of.
- Have fun.
The target is always the biggest country flag. Drawings in the flag are disregarded; only width x height counts. In the case of a tie, the leftmost flag takes precedence. Focus preferably on most iconic features of the flag.
Observers are welcome, as long as they follow the rules. You're also free to join the group even if you belong to another group, just make sure there's no conflict of interest.
Q-and-A
Q1: Why would I join it?
A: Reasons are up to the individual. We don't need to share the same motivation, only the goal.
Q2: What constitutes a large or small flag?
A: Up to debate but we don't need to set this line up, since we're picking on the largest one anyway.
Q3: What about the trans flag? Or the anarchist one?
A: Not country flags, we're leaving them alone.
Q4: What about drawings that are not part of the flag, but associated with it?
A: Leave them alone, and focus on the flag itself. And in the case the flag is built into a bigger drawing, focus on the elements of the flag, not of the rest of the drawing.
Q5: Vandalism is wrong!
A: Not a question, but whatever. This sort of online canvas is not just cooperation, but also competition. Also, people actually concerned about vandalism in the canvas know that the main source of said vandalism are large country flags.
Q6: If u dun liek it, than y u dun fuck off teh gaem?
A: No. People who want to get rid of large flags have as much right to organise themselves towards their common goal as you have to organise your flag. Deal with it.
Q7: as someone working on a large flag, I ask u, can u stop doin that?
Q8: excuuuuuse me, do you know that I'm entitled to have you listen to my defence of large flags?
Q9: ackshyually is this harassment?
No.
Q10: why do you hate [insert population]?
A: Our target is decided based on canvas area, not personal feelings towards the subjects of the government associated with that flag.
Q11: instead of fighting us, why don't you join us to build our MONUMENT?
A: I do monuments like this every day. In my bathroom, just after #2.
