r/place is a collaborative public art piece/canvas/public shitpost where any reddit user can place a pixel of various colors, once every 5 minutes. In the previous (2022) r/place final canvas, pixel art images of the Among Us crewmates were exceedingly popular to place just about everywhere.
I will aim to resolve this market one week after r/place closes. The resolution will be based on the most accurate/credible count I can find of the total number of crewmates on the final canvas, with a manual count preferred over automated tools. If multiple, roughly equally credible counts are reported, I will take the average between them. If there are no counts reported within two weeks of r/place closing, I will attempt a count myself using automated scripts and manual correction.
I intend for all recognizable variations on the general crewmate shape to be included (such as ones with larger legs or which lack a backpack), including any which are scaled up or larger than the more typical ~4x5 pixel images.
1,000
3.00As expected, I'm seeing conflicting counts so far (https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/159orlv/among_us_count_over_time_2418_peak_and_the_peak/ , https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/159z00q/there_are_4755_small_crewmates_on_the_final_canvas/) but it is looking to be definitively north of 2000, and almost certainly 2500+. Honestly when I made the market I was expecting fewer than last year, given the dropoff of the amogus memes, but lesson learned :P
The week-long time I originally gave was my worst-case estimate for how long until there will be a decent count. I figure nobody wants to leave their marbles tied up in a closed market for long, so if there's a consensus among us that I should go ahead and resolve it sooner than the originally stated week, I will do so.
@OracularJay the 2418 post is stricter than your definition of "all recognizable variations such as ones which lack a backpack"
@jojomonsta Wow you are a genius. I didn't even think of the counting a small portion and estimating the rest.
@jojomonsta If there are credible counts of the canvas done within a week, I will go off of whichever freeze frame they used. If it comes down to me resolving it, I will use the official reddit-posted final state.
@TauTaf Unless anyone uses machine learning, pattern matching is really insufficient to count crewmates.
In order to prevent people getting ahead of this market, I plan to close trading on this market tomorrow morning (roughly 12 hours from when I posted this message). If anyone would like to make final adjustments to your bets or estimates, please do so now.
