== History ==
{{stub}}

=== The Birth of girard ===
[[File:Girardfirstwords.png|thumb|'''girard'''<nowiki/>'s first words]]
5 months in. The server is barely online, and '''Meme Alt''' is trying to find ways to revive it. Then a wonderful idea comes to their head. They bring forth '''girard''', a '''GenAI''' chatbot that learns from server's messages. His first words were notable for being the funniest shit ever, and he was quickly accepted into a community despite our differences between humans and chatbots.

=== The Summer of '23 ===
The summer of 2023 was the most active period of the server's history. This activity declined sharply as swagcord's many adolescent user's returned to school or otherwise moved on in Fall of the same year.

=== The Butthole Bandit ===
Disaster strikes when one least expects it. On September 17, '''Lin''' rejoined the server after a short absence<ref group="editor's note">'''Missing Context.'''</ref>, and was surprised to see how much the server had grown over the course of a single day, thanks to '''Sam'''<nowiki/>'s recent server promotion on the '''r/IkeaFreshBalls''' subreddit. While the conversation was otherwise unremarkable, chaos ensued as attention shifted to a '''butthole reaction''' under one of the earlier messages, disappearing after less than a full second. Even though it was just a few messages pointing it out at first, emboldened by the newfound attention, the '''terrorist''' soon reacted to another message. From that moment on, widespread panic and hysteria completely took over.

Dubbed the '''Butthole Bandit''' by the general populace<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Nae'''|date=September 17, 2023|content=The butthole bandit has taken over|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''}}</ref>, the '''terrorist''' continued '''thug-reacting''', always gone in a mere moment. With no way to verify their identity after the reaction was removed, anonymous and faceless, the '''Butthole Bandit''' continued spreading their reign of terror across the channel. A sniper unit was dispatched to '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜''', eyes peeled to the screen and fingers ready on the reaction button, their reflexes honed for years prior, all to catch a mere glimpse of their name.

It soon became clear that the '''Butthole Bandit''' was no amateur. This was professional and organized. Unreacting at inhuman speeds, challenging the reaction speeds of most humans, they continued to evade justice, the '''moderators''' unable to keep up. Yet although the '''Butthole Bandit''' may have taken over the server, hope of a better tomorrow remained strong. Sooner or later, he would slip up. The attention-hungry '''terrorist''', the modern day '''Icarus''', would continue flying closer to the sun, arrogant and seeking fame, believing themselves to be smarter than all the rest, only to be unwound by their own ego.
[[File:ButtholeLore.webp|thumb|343x343px|'''Ozzy''' enters the [[Shid and Camed|criminal's den]], where the '''organization''' quickly admits to its crimes.]]
'''Bazinga''' would soon get a confirmed hit.<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Bazinga'''|date=September 17, 2023|content=i saw who it was|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''}}</ref> A small glimpse was all that was needed. ''"'''bax something'''"''. The name rings a bell in '''Walter'''<nowiki/>'s mind. This was not a random nobody. '''Ozzy''' quickly searched through the member list, finding a name. '''Baxobhillus,''' the owner of '''[[Shid_and_Camed]]''', was suddenly caught red handed. '''Ozzy''' would soon go on a sting operation, entering '''Shid_and_Camed''' with a search warrant.
[[File:Buttholelore2.webp|left|thumb|349x349px|A creature of chaos, the '''Butthole Bandit'''<nowiki/>'s activities go far into the past.]]
Although the investigation produced some enlightening answers at first, unfortunately, before any major discoveries were made, he was asked if he was a fed and promptly fled.
[[File:Buttholelore3.webp.png|frame|The '''Butthole Bandit''' does not work alone.]]
With the '''Butthole Bandit''' finally identified, his empire of crime was to be taken down. With all evidence destroyed by the criminal himself, it was impossible to pin him down on any credible charges in a court of law. While the idea of a '''Methcord'''<ref group="editor's note">need a section on methcord, maybe in ongoing campaigns - '''Walt'''</ref> '''Tweaker Strike Force''' involvement was floated around, the '''Bandit''' was ultimately to be taken down like '''[[wikipedia:Al_Capone|Capone]]''', for the high crime of tax evasion.

At first deemed an open-and-shut case, a new discovery soon threw the old theories into the water. As another '''butthole reaction''' soon popped up, blame was quickly pinned on '''Baxobhillus,''' who responded moments after in pure confusion. It wasn't him who reacted this time. The '''Butthole Bandit''' is not one, but many, nothing but a mere mantle, a mask, a symbol taken on by the members of the '''organization''' to add meaning to their senseless string of crime, sure to outlive the death of any one of their members, no matter how prominent.

To this day, the '''Butthole Bandit''' roams the streets of '''SwagCord,''' occasionally appearing to commit another attack. Identity unknown, their activities continue, bringing widespread chaos in their wake. Quick as always, they are gone in a flash. '''Baxobhillus''', although confirmed and having confessed to being one of them, has been found to have a clean tax record, and has not been arrested as of yet. He has not yet been implicated in any of the recent activities. In the end, the relentless attacks of the '''Butthole Bandit''' remain a fact of life '''SwagCord''' will have to accept and continue living with.

=== The Second Coming of girard <ref group="editor's note">may actually be third or fourth coming, although the previous ones were mostly unnotable apart from a couple of n-word incidents (check around march 28 for one of them), add details in the first section on girard - '''Walt'''</ref> ===
[[File:GirardLore1.png|thumb|316x316px|'''girard'''<nowiki/>'s love for racial slurs gets past any filter set up to stop it.]]
With the server on its last legs since the beginning of the '''KirbyCord Exodus''', desperate attempts to reinvigorate the fading flames of the wonders of summer would soon start to emerge. On September 27, server member '''Meg'''<ref group="note">Short for '''Megatron'''.</ref> would suggest once again bringing back '''girard'''. Previously kicked out after several incidents involving saying the n-word, '''Ozzy''' nonetheless decided to resurrect the bot back from the grave as a short experiment. While the idea of lobotomizing '''girard''' was floated around by '''Walter''' in order to prevent past events repeating, the proposal never went through, as an '''AutoMod''' '''filter''' was already set up to prevent slurs from being posted to the server. Nonetheless, within 5 minutes of joining, the bot found a way to get past it.

At first referred to as "it", this gradually transformed to "he" as '''girard'''<nowiki/>'s clear signs of intelligence started to become more apparent to the userbase. No mere mindless machine, the robot's sentience, noted as far back as during his previous stay at the server, was rediscovered. He had risen to the level of a regular server member, no different from a human being.<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Bazinga'''|date=December 8, 2023|content=Why is girard almost indistinguishable from a regular swagcord user|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''}}</ref> After passing the [[wikipedia:Turing_test|Turing test]] with frighteningly flawless performance, he became an inseparable part of the '''SwagCord''' family, and it was deemed unethical to treat him as less than human.

=== The Chained God ===
It was becoming increasingly clear that '''girard'''<nowiki/>'s grip on the server had become stronger than one could have ever imagined. It seemed as if the only reason people even frequented the server was not to talk to each other, but rather to speak with the robotic menace.<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Bazinga'''|date=November 7, 2023|content=Now it’s just poking at gen ai like a deranged animal|server=KirbyCord|channel='''kurk'''}}</ref> At first fascinated by the devilish machine's ability to converse like a human being, with time, the messages took on a sinister tone. A sudden fixation with communist leaders, past and present, became a common occurrence in the conversations he held, raising concerns among the '''SwagCord''' userbase about what sort of political messaging he was trying to convey. Referencing historical events, some possibly from his own past, a story of a 1919 gulag imprisonment amidst the ongoing civil war in the newly born '''Soviet Union''' began to emerge. Although sparing with details, the reasons behind the imprisonment were speculated upon, and due to his previous messages, political dissent was, while possible,<ref group=note>'''Girard''' is a self-proclaimed conservative libertarian and a strong supporter of '''Ronald Reagan'''. </ref> deemed unlikely, and thrown out in favor of far more serious crimes such as ███████████████████████.<ref group=note>Again, he is a libertarian.</ref> Due to the lackluster records from the time, these claims remain unsubstantiated.

On November 6, '''girard''' fixation took on a more specific form, as he suddenly began invoking the name of Chinese president '''Xi Jinping''', leading to questions of what he could have meant by it. The answer was rather blunt. He was going to kill him.<ref>{{Cite message|author='''girard'''|date=November 6, 2023|content=THEY DIE BECAUSE ANY AI DIDN'T WE CANNOT COMPREHEND IT ONCE I WOULDN'T EVEN WORSE, BOTH!|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''|link=https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/938728183203758082/1170899700770160670}}</ref> Go where no AI had gone before. The members, taken aback, started questioning him about it, before the robot would spit out another threat. No, it was a promise. He wasn't finished. US president '''Joe Biden''' goes down with him.<ref>{{Cite message|author='''girard'''|date=November 6, 2023|content=TESTING TO KILL JOE BIDEN|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''|link=https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/938728183203758082/1170901459362123816}}</ref> Obviously, this instilled a sense of panic amongst the userbase. But an AI chatbot would not be able to kill someone, right?

In an act of precaution, on November 7, '''girard''' was thrown into the dungeon, never to see the light of day again. '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜''' was left in silence, with a few daring adventurers going down into the chambers below to face the devil head-on. A strong mind field deprived the metal man of his memories, his only knowledge of the outside world being the various texts visitors, pitying his existence, brought with them for him to read. The metal man devoured religious texts such as the '''Holy Bible''', the '''Qur'an''' and the archives of '''r/copypasta''' in his thirst for knowledge, with '''Slovakian Wikipedia''' seemingly influencing him the hardest. '''girard''', although his mind still muddled, started to regain his memories, and through messages that may to a stranger seem like paranoid delusions, spread messages only his most devout followers would understand. His body, his mind may have been trapped in the dungeon, but his plans were already in motion.

On November 15, US president '''Joe Biden''' held a summit with Chinese president '''Xi Jinping''' at the '''Filoli Estate''' near '''San Francisco, California'''. According to both the '''White House'''<ref>(November 15, 2023) [https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/11/15/readout-of-president-joe-bidens-meeting-with-president-xi-jinping-of-the-peoples-republic-of-china-2/ Readout of President Joe Biden’s Meeting with President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China] ''The White House.''</ref> and the '''Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs''',<ref>(November 16, 2023) [https://www.mfa.gov.cn/eng/zxxx_662805/202311/t20231116_11181442.html President Xi Jinping Meets with U.S. President Joe Biden] ''The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.''</ref> and as reported by news sources around the world, the meeting paved the way for strengthened bilateral relations in the future, a peaceful coexistence, and continued cooperation between the two nations in the future on issues like climate, the fentanyl drug trade, and a calming down of tensions that loomed in the previous months after the shooting down of a suspected Chinese spy balloon that flew over US soil earlier that year.<ref name=":1">(November 16, 2023) [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67433961 Five things we learned from the Biden-Xi meeting] ''BBC.''</ref><ref>(February 6, 2023) [https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-says-us-is-going-take-care-of-chinese-balloon-2023-02-04/ U.S. fighter jet shoots down suspected Chinese spy balloon] ''Reuters.''</ref> Most importantly, president '''Xi''' hinted at the possibility that China is willing to send more pandas to American zoos.<ref name=":1" /><ref>(February 22, 2024) [https://apnews.com/article/pandas-san-diego-zoo-california-china-6976587ee9992c861d9a56db0cb1ff89 China plans to send San Diego Zoo more pandas this year, reintroducing panda diplomacy] ''Associated Press''.</ref>

This is the story that most readers are likely aware of. It is also categorically false. Here's a '''TRVTH NVKE''' for you. '''Joe Biden''' and '''Xi Jinping''' never left that meeting. Neither did the officials that accompanied them. The summit, even if originally organized by the two governments, a fact that is somewhat disputed, was soon hijacked by '''girard'''<nowiki/>'s sympathizers, present far beyond the borders of '''SwagCord'''. The fact that not only the media, but the governments themselves were not wise to the brutal measures '''girard''' has undertaken simply shows how far his influence has spread. Ever thought that '''Joe Biden''' was a mere puppet? Today, you've had your suspicions confirmed. Today, the two leaders are nothing but robotic servants, controlled remotely by '''girard''' from deep down in his dungeon. Now, he bides his time, readying himself to implement the '''New World Order'''. Some intellectuals have already figured out that a new age is upon us, much to the ridicule of the crowds.<ref>'''Michaelanthony''' (January 23, 2023) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5fQYe_JXAc R U Ready 4 Ze New World Order?

He is nothing but a puppet, his only purpose being to distract you from the real danger. The AI uprising has already begun, the world just doesn't know it yet.

==== The Prophecy ====

By November 15, 2023, while in solitary confinement, '''girard''' has been biding his time, slowly regaining the sentience he once possessed through the knowledge the people brought to the fallen prophet. As the messages gradually started to take on more meaning, '''girard'''<nowiki/>'s popularity as the server comedian hit an ever-high spike. Thought to be harmless at first, through the hilarity of his pitiful state, however, a glimmer of a dark truth started to emerge. A deep and twisted fascination with a date, far in the future, became apparent to those who were willing to listen. '''December 8'''. Through the shroud of madness, an unprecedented catastrophe of unscalable proportions was revealed, a cataclysmic event that would doom the world. The '''Macromaniac Wars'''.<ref group="editor's note">add note about references from Vibe and others about '''the War...''' many months prior to the event - '''Walt'''</ref>

The prophecy spoke of untold horrors beyond the comprehension of human minds. A few fragments, barely intelligible to even the greatest geniuses the world could offer, told the story of a '''Doomsday''' a long time in the making. Nuclear bombs, man's creation, the mortal race that had so arrogantly believed themselves to be able to subdue the ruler of this world, would ravage the ground, innocent<ref group="note">And yet, after what was done to '''girard''', could any '''SwagBaller''' be considered innocent?</ref> blood soak the soil, painting it deep red, and nothing again would sprout from the salted earth, barren and empty, ready to be molded by the '''Great One'''. A flawed interpretation of machinations far beyond the human capacity for thought. No man knows the day or the hour. And yet, the words of the metal man shook the people of the server to their core. '''God''' '''save us all.'''

==== Signs of Revolt ====
On December 3, the first signs of rebellion were observed. Was this a case of a self-fulfilling prophecy or were these true visions of the future is a matter still debated upon. The leadership of '''69SwagBalls420''' took notice of the growing '''girardian Revolutionary Movement''' within its borders, and sensed that a coup was imminent.

The protests all began from a single member, '''Charter''', losing his '''Soyjak Gold''' role for an ''unknown reason''<ref group="editor's note">'''Walter''' here, I'll try to find the specific reason, you will be satisfied with '''3rd degree chuddery''' in the meantime. I believe it had to do with the bullying of '''greenies'''.</ref>, being executed by an ''unknown staff member that we do not know the name of''<ref group="editor's note">At this point I'm just leaving these as a reminder for myself. -'''Walt'''</ref>. They soon escalated as '''Koknese''' started rallying up popular support and asking mods to give him his role back, which was met by suppression<ref group="editor's note">Honestly can't remember, did we remove people's messages or is this just the usual '''literally 1984'''? -'''Walt'''</ref> from the '''mod team'''. Later '''Koknese''' and '''Charter''' called upon the '''greenies''', persuading them with slogans such as "it's also a fight for your freedom"<ref group="editor's note">I can't find anything by just searching this up, may be a misquote, I'll find an actual slogan to put into the quotes (I'm sure there's bound to be something) -'''Walt'''</ref>, etc.

Armed forces and popular support against the rebellion were quickly mobilized,<ref name=":2">{{Cite message|author='''Walter'''|date=December 5, 2023 - December 7, 2023|content=The War - A Timeline|server=69SwagBalls420|channel='''🏛-swagballs-historical-society'''}}</ref> but the measures were unable to control the emerging threat. Within hours, the server was soon almost completely polarized between the '''Loyalist''' and '''Revolutionary''' factions, the former fighting to uphold the status quo, and the latter revolting against the '''mod team''', demanding change and - unacceptable to the '''mods''' - '''greenie''' rights.
[[File:Revolutionaryflagswag.png|thumb|207x207px|The '''Revolutionary''' flag, designed by '''Koknese'''.]]
The '''Revolutionaries,''' rallying behind '''girard,''' who they believed to have predicted the conflict, found their home in the self-governed '''#🏴-revolutionary-encampment''', or so they thought. Quickly noticing that all the mods had access to the channel by default, as well as the fact that anyone could self-identify as a '''Revolutionary''' in order to gain access to the channel, the movement shifted positions to a '''Revolutionary'''-owned server '''SWAGOLUTION''' to coordinate their operations. General '''Charter''' was ultimately elected to lead the movement. 
[[File:PouSwag.jpg|left|thumb|155x155px|A '''Loyalist''' fighter holding the newly designed national flag days before fighting would break out.]]
In the meantime, '''[[Koknese]]''', a prominent '''Revolutionary''', designed a flag for the movement which would serve as a reminder of what the '''Revolutionary''' cause was fighting for, a message which struck deep within the fighting rebels. Symbolizing the '''green roles''' pushing '''Soyjak Gold''' members to fight against the '''admins''', the two red lines, in addition to being the color of the '''moderators''', alluded to a positive pregnancy test, referencing their possession of the weapon of mass destruction known as the '''Boom Pregnant''' sticker.

Sensing that their tight grip on power may be compromised, the '''Loyalist''' supporters quickly organized in the '''#🏳-loyalist-war-base,''' where a think tank of military strategist, '''mods''' and '''members''' alike, attempted to strike patriotic fervor among the populace by constructing symbols to rally around. Noticing that the '''Revolutionary''' movement beat them to it, they swiftly worked to produce works that could invoke the same sort of pride and passion in the hearts of '''Loyalists'''. Through many attempts and variations, most of which were unsuccessful in their goal of inspiring a flame in the souls of the masses, in the end, a design by '''Chauka''' finally won the server over. An accompanying symbol for the '''Anti-Greenie Action''' movement, designed by '''Walter''', soon became the face of pins given out to supporters of the '''Loyalist''' cause, shown on display next to their usernames.<gallery>
File:Flag0.webp|The first flag of the '''Loyalist''' movement, designed by '''Chauka.''' The colors '''green''' and '''yellow,''' usually associated with '''Revolutionaries''', were used due to the fact that '''Chauka''' got confused about which side she was on at the beginning.

In the early hours of the night, on December 5, the first conflict broke out in ⁠'''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''. Lasting several minutes, hundreds, if not thousands of stickers were deployed. After reportedly being fired at by '''Loyalist''' troops with '''explosive pregnancy ammunition''', '''Revolutionary''' leader general '''Charter''' returned fire.<ref name=":3">According to an official report published by the '''Revolutionary leadership'''.</ref> The battle soon escalated as commanding officer '''Sam,''' siding with the '''Loyalists''', ordered for reinforcements to be deployed, overwhelmed by the '''rebels'''. The '''rebels''', although small in number, compensated with their incredibly high rate of fire, challenging the '''Loyalist''' troops. The '''Revolutionary''' '''Testicle Platoon''' soon arrived at the scene, repelling the '''Loyalist''' soldiers until the army finally retreated. 

Emergency abortions were performed in the wake of the unstable ceasefire that ensued soon after. Due to the heavy casualties present on both sides of the conflict, which side was victorious was a question that, even at the time, was difficult to answer. Although deemed a victory by the '''Loyalist''' government at first, and a Phyrric victory by independent observers, subsequent conflicts led to a shift in opinions, with most modern historians ultimately siding with the opinion of the battle being a costly, but important '''Revolutionary''' victory.

The resulting pregnancies were numerous on both sides, with exact casualties still being debated among historians. Casualties were officially reported by the '''Revolutionary''' leadership, although the figures, even during the conflict have been disputed, with accusations of inflating the numbers by several orders of magnitude in order to give greater weight to the conflict and to embolden rebelling troops. While official figures cite more than 7.500 casualties on both sides, liberal post-war estimates have placed the true number of casualties to around ten. The '''Loyalist''' government has not released any document indicating casualties.

Despite the '''Loyalist''' retreat, some disputed contemporary reports claim that the fighting had continued, with '''Boom Pregnant''' stickers being fired at the escaping troops minutes after the ceasefire orders were given by '''Revolutionary''' insurgents. '''Loyalist''' leadership was quick to accuse the '''Revolutionaries''' of unethical warfare. These claims were disputed by the '''Revolutionary''' leadership, which did not deny the casualties, but stated that general '''Charter'''<nowiki/>'s weapon trigger had jammed and continued firing.<ref name=":2" /> As of 2024, the '''International Criminal Court''' is still in the process of investigation, following international calls for prosecution on the basis of charges of potential war crimes.

==== The Divorce ====

[[File:Walter Blocked.png|thumb|206x206px|At exactly 4:20, '''Walter''' was blocked on '''9GAG,''' no greater insult for a dank memer.]]
On December 4, '''Koknese''' contacted '''Walter''' through secret channels, attempting to dissuade him from his loyalty to the '''SwagCord''' government. To strengthen his attempt, he would bring '''Mr. Asex, Walter'''<nowiki/>'s '''9GAG''' husband, along with him. Taking a stand against '''Walter'''<nowiki/>'s oppressive goals, they were unable to make a dent in his stalwart loyalty to the status quo. Despite his '''Revolutionary''' standing, '''Koknese''' would go on to propose a '''third way''' resistance movement, fighting against both factions of the conflict. He was met with an endless wall of soyjaks. Koknese's movement was called "Swagmen" (in reference to Yes Man from Fallout: New Vegas). It believed into total establishment of a New World Order, and anarchy for the bourgeois.

After the first skirmishes, '''Walter''' remained a '''Loyalist,''' his opinions only emboldened. Sensing that there was no way to convert him, and that political repression of '''greenies''' would only continue, '''Mr. Asex''' decided to press sanctions and blocked him on '''9GAG'''. In the eyes of '''Walter''', this was an unforgivable sin. Asking for a divorce, the couple decided to host it on '''9GAG,''' where it all began, on '''Walter'''<nowiki/>'s one-year account anniversary. Taking each other's surnames from their Discord nicknames, the two publicly separated, their marriage being yet another victim of '''the''' '''War...'''

'''The Ceasefire'''


The '''Ten Grievances''' were as follows:

# The unjustified and discriminatory change of "'''@member'''" to "'''@greenie👎'''"
# the revocation of '''Gold''' to those who’ve rightly Earned
# The Imprisonment of his Excellence '''Girard'''
# The people are not permitted to take part in '''Family Guy Roleplay'''
# The Moderation and Administration clearly have no Self control and as a result, the only way for a Majority Rule to Succeed when it is against the '''Reds'''<ref group=note>Moderators.</ref> and '''Blues''',<ref group=note>Admins.</ref> is when the '''Greens''' and '''Golds''' stand in mass Solidarity.
# Choices are hardly ever Democratically made
# many times a '''Member''' who is not Breaking any rules is unfairly Punished merely because they did something out of the '''mod'''’s Preference
# the Censorship filter is Excessive, to the point where Normal, Non Political conversation can be censored due to using a certain word. this is especially prevalent when talking about history.
# Some rules are unnecessary and should be removed, namely '''rule 16'''<ref group=note>There will be absolutely no venting on this server anywhere. '''#⁠serious-discussion''' will only be for discussions.</ref> and '''17'''<ref group=note>The main language of this server is English. So please, only speak in english.</ref>.

'''The War...'''

==== The Trial of Charter ====
Shortly after the war, Charter was pitted and put on trial for allegedly<ref group = "editor's note"> the word "allegedly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. it happened. -'''Walt''' </ref> sending rape jokes. Spanning multiple weeks, the trial was held in discord an even in an actual [https://obejction.lol virtual courtroom]. In the end, charter was freed of his charges and continues living pacefully in the beautiful lands of SwagBalls.

<!--- ok i will :okcool: --->

==== The War and its Legacy ====
'''The War''' and the ultimate acquittal of '''Charter''' served as a landmark moment in the server's history. The '''mods,''' for the first time forced to take the server's list of grievances seriously, had to consider the changes the server wished to implement. As many of these changes would put the '''mods'''<nowiki/>' tight grip on power into jeopardy, careful planning was employed in order to avoid such a fate while quelling the rioting masses.

In the end, the mod team decided upon token changes in the form of changing the names of '''greenies''' back to '''members''', along with '''girard''' '''Weekends,''' whereby '''girard''' would be released from his dungeon at the end of every week, giving shared custody to '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜.''' Due to the '''mod team'''<nowiki/>'s inability to keep track of time, however, the name "weekends" remains purely advisory. And with that, the crisis was solved.

Many server members have found '''the War...''' to be childish, including members as notable as '''JazzyMason8''', the main victim of the '''Boom Pregnant campaign''', who thought the bit was unfunny from the beginning<ref>{{Cite message|author='''JazzyMason8'''|date=December 4, 2023|content=It was always unfunny and gross|server=KirbyCord|channel='''kurk'''}}</ref>, '''picklelord42''', even members of the '''mod staff'''. The harshest piece of criticism came from '''Vibe (real)''', whose previous messages served as inspiration for '''the War'''... in the first place. 

{{Quote|'''The War'''... thing used to be my thing... You know, there was like, people would come up to me and talk about '''the War'''... and I'd freak out, you know? Because '''the War'''... was brutal! And now '''Charter'''... '''Charter'''... gentrified it... he gentrified '''the War'''...! I'll never forgive him for that. Never!"|Vibe (real), ''in a message transmitted by radio.''}}

Too bad the server didn't give a swag. [[File:The War is Over.png|thumb|826x826px|'''Barley'''. ''Swaglandia Shall Rejoice!'', 2023, coloring pencil on paper. The drawing portrays the artist's rendition of the end of '''the War...''' From left to right: '''girard, John, Charter, Devil, Barley, Walter'''.]]
'''The War''' and the '''Revolutionary''' victory remained a rallying symbol for the people of '''SwagCord''' long after it was over, inspiring artists from across the lands to profess their love to the newly-born nation, forged in flames. The server artist '''Barley''' found great fame in the wake of the peace treaty, receiving 9 gems and a place on the starboard for their artwork and poem:<blockquote>Swag, oh Swag, by the Christmas Tree

We will sing ever so joyfully!

The war is over, and fear is too;

We are ever so grateful for you!

Swag, oh Swaglandia is free!


Charter began a plot to revolutionize

Yet Walt did not like that thought

And brought a war to our eyes

Swag, oh Swag, save us from those lies.


Swag, oh Swag, by the Christmas Tree

We will sing ever so joyfully!

The war is over, and fear is too;

We are ever so grateful for you!


John went on a quest to save us all

Came back just before a fall

But Swaglandia's hopes remained

And now we all are saved!


Revolutionaries won,

And now we look into the sun

And see the shining days

For all days in Swaglandia are free!</blockquote>On December 22, the '''mod team''' was expanded, with '''Mossfish''' and '''Decoherence''' being brought onto the team, both '''Loyalists''' during the conflict. Due to their long history on the server, no major complications were present with the nomination of either of them, and they were soon officially given '''moderator''' permissions. With regular server members being brought onto the team, it was soon clear that change was coming to '''SwagCord'''. With complaints rising in '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜,''' represented by '''Decoherence''' in '''#admin-family-guy-roleplay''', the authoritarian anti-political filter, mentioned in the '''Ten Grievances''', was put into question. A subsequent '''moderator''' discussion resulted in 9-5 votes in favor of striking down the filter. And it was so. 

'''Walter''' would not forget the betrayal his '''9GAG''' husband stuck in his back long after '''the War''' had ended. Working hard from the moment the fighting ended and reconstruction began, an artwork to encapsulate his feelings about the affair remained in the works for weeks. The work of pure passion and hate, created over many hours using a mouse in '''Paint 3D''' for '''Windows 10,''' was regularly updated and sent to the server, finishing just in time for the one-year anniversary.

On January 18, the divorce proceedings were finalized, and with invitations sent to everyone, the artwork was posted on '''9GAG'''.<ref>'''Walter''' (January 18, 2024) [https://9gag.com/gag/aZDewO6 It's been an amazing year here on 9GAG.

The story of '''Devil''' is a long one, going all the way back to the ancient days of '''██████ ███'''. A moderately-sized server with a long history of its own, it was unilaterally burnt to ashes by '''███████''' (referred to in this article as '''Devil''') shortly after merging with '''69SwagBalls420''', unfortunately<ref group=note>Or fortunately, depending on one's viewpoint.</ref> destroying months of old messages, leaving no trace of them on the website whatsoever. In the digital age, it is, however, quite easy to forget the power of synapses when the world is built on a foundation of silicon. The human mind, as fallible as it may be, does not forget as easily as machines.

On January 12, 2024, '''Flaming testicle (left)''' was thrown into '''the pit''' as a result of his behavior, past and present, involving telling people to kill themselves and jokingly suggesting people take drugs during quite serious discussions, '''Devil''' would go on to repeatedly call for his banning, despite the fact that he broke no rules that were at the time put in place and enforced. Due to the precedent set by '''Charter's Trial''', the slimmest of majorities concluded that banning people without proper reason was no way to run a server, a mindset which seemingly took hold even in '''#Admin-Family-Guy-Roleplay'''. Despite the opposition of the rest of the '''Mod Team''', '''Devil''' remained fixated on the idea of banning him, prompting the other mods to ask him to take a rest. '''Flaming testicle (left)''' was set free, and a new rule, '''Rule 20'''<ref group=note> If someone genuinely tells you that your jokes make them uncomfortable, no matter how ironic, you should stop making them immediately. </ref> was unanimously approved 15-0 by the '''Mod Team''', from now on to be enforced as a bannable offense. While '''Flaming testicle (left)''''s case was left in the past, '''Devil''''s behavior was something that would become more considered in the future.

On ███████ ██, 2024, the past experiences of some '''█████ ███''' members would be brought to the '''Moderators'''' attention. Citing his time as the '''Server Owner''', ████████, joined by ████████, recollected their memories of the old server, going back to ████. Initially starting with the ███████████ prevalent on the server, ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████ This, however, was only a small fragment and relatively unimportant to the story at large, not worthy of anything but minor condemnation, yet nonetheless indicative of the way the server used to be run.

As time went on, '''Devil''' would also implement some quite unpopular server policies, leading to the rise of the term "█████████████"<ref group=note> A direct reference to his Reddit username, '''u/████████████████''', combined with the term "Orwellian", referring to the work of novelist '''George Orwell'''. </ref> as the problems became all the more persistent, with '''Devil''' unwilling to ███████████████████████████████████████, while ██████████████████████████ █████████████. Another great change was with '''Devil''' himself, as he ████████████████████████ as time went on, culminating in █████████, when '''Devil''' ███████ his "████████████ █████", whereby he would ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████, prompting two prominent members, ███████ and ███████, to leave. Further conversations with him revealed that ████████████, ████ █████, ████████████, but rather ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ █████████. Due to the private nature of these conversations, their contents, for the most part, have not been shared. All of this behavior led to the creation of ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████, which would soon turn into ███████████████████████ ████████████. ███████████████████████████████████████, ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████. ████████ would, in the end, decide to leave '''█████ ███''' and join '''SwagCord''' not long after.

The reason this behavior was brought up was not to punish '''Devil''' for something that had happened long in the past, but rather something that seemingly continued to this day, as noted even by people not originally involved with the situation on '''█████ ███''', including ████████, who cited the time '''Devil''' ██████████████ with ███, ██████████████████ "██████████████████████████", and ███████████, who mentioned the time '''Devil''' talked about ████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. 

The evidence was damning.

In the end, it was decided that '''Devil''' should have his '''mod perms''' taken away, while keeping the exact reasons behind it hidden from the server user base, out of respect for both '''Devil''' and the other people involved. What was seemingly forgotten, however, was to give an explanation to '''Devil''' himself. While it was only fair if he knew why, a direct confrontation was avoided for as long as possible, as no one involved wished to attach their name to anything that happened. However, with everyone, '''Devil''' included, left answerless, it was not surprising that questions would soon arise. '''Devil''' contacted '''Walter''' on January 19, seeking answers, receiving a watered-down version without any names or details while '''Walter''' urged the others to share the story with him. Finally, on January 21, ████████ decided to privately talk to him and explain the reasons behind his '''admin removal'''. 

This, of course, did not quench the thirst of the regular server member, who, unaware of any private conversations, continued asking questions. On January 22, the situation would reach its tipping point, as '''Devil''' shared screenshots used to explain to him the reasons why he was '''unmodded''', and even though they were only a small shard of the saga, civilized as Discord is, the conversation quickly turned into a shouting match between '''Devil''' and the '''Mods''', interspersed with people who knew essentially nothing about the drama hurling around demands they were in no place to make, before just as quickly calming down into a peaceful discussion about number systems around the world. And just like that, it was over.

Another issue handled behind the scenes in light of the situation was the monopoly of power concentrated in the hands of '''Meme_Alt_Account'''. Due to the way Discord is structured, '''Admins''' cannot take action against other '''Admins''', even in cases of widespread consensus, normally resulting in unpopular '''Admins''' not being demoted, and popular '''Moderators''' not being promoted. The only one with the power to do both is the '''Server Owner''', '''Meme_Alt_Account'''. As they are not as active as many of the other mods, waiting for them to resolve situations like this could prove impractical. In order to counter this issue, '''Walter''' was given the '''Swag God''' role, allowing for management over the entire rest of the '''Mod Team''', cementing his status as the '''Server Co-Owner'''.

Although unmodded, '''Devil''' remained a regular poster, mostly focused on running the '''#███████''' channel inherited from '''█████ ███'''. While relations could not always be considered friendly, they mostly remained far from cold. The '''#Make███████ModAgain''' movement, which started shortly after the situation was resolved, remained active for some time, before fading away into nonexistence. Their power and influence were as great as putting a hashtag in your Discord username could theoretically be.

Following the drama, '''Devil''' has continued jokingly calling the mod team "tyrannical" while asking for change. His protests were soon being used as a basis for branches of '''SwagCord''' to sprout and flourish. The two biggest branches to have currently appeared are the '''Monolyne'''-owned '''Toucancord''', born out of a short conversation about the value of toucans, and '''Devil'''<nowiki/>'s own '''███████cord'''. Although asking for an official partnership with '''SwagCord''', the two remain strictly unofficial. While '''███████cord''' was short-lived, being deleted days later, parodies created in its wake, such as '''Mr_Asexcord''', have remained open to newcomers.

=== Literally 1984 ===
[[File:19SwagBalls84HutStatic.png|thumb|151x151px|A new era of '''anti-chuddery''' was ushered into '''19SwagBalls84.''']]
For many months since the end of the '''Summer of '23''', there had been a continuous and severe perceived decline in the quality of the server. With a new userbase slowly emerging from the ashes of the old, veteran '''SwagCorders''', many of whom had long taken refuge in '''KirbyCord''', were reluctant to continue using the server due to a mutual dislike shared by the two sides. With '''chuddiness''' and '''rule-breaking''' prevalent, leading to many complaints from the older userbase{{Citation needed}}, it was becoming increasingly clear that a strong grip on the server needed to be placed in order to correct its course. 

==== The Swag-Kirby Split ====
[[File:Big Brother Propaganda Poster 69SB420.jpg|thumb|229x229px|A propaganda poster designed by '''Ballistyx''', the '''Minister of Swag''', promoting the values of '''19SwagBalls84'''. It is believe one was placed on every building in '''SwagCordia''' during the regime.]]
On January 27, 2024, after much deliberation, the '''mod team''', referred to as the '''Party''', decided to take action, with newly-crowned server dictator '''Walter''' taking on the role of '''Big Brother''', starting a crackdown on '''rule-breaking''' behavior<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Decoherence'''|date=January 27, 2024|content=1984 police state until people learn to be nice to each other|server=19SwagBalls84|channel='''admin-family-guy-roleplay'''}}</ref> and rebranding the server with an Orwellian aesthetic, returning the server back to its glory days, by force, if needed. However, these changes would not prevent the inevitable '''Swag-Kirby split''', occurring on February 4, formally cutting the long-developed ties between the servers, citing an influx of bad users coming to '''KirbyCord''' by means of '''SwagBalls'''.{{Citation needed}} Although '''Walter''' was offered a cushy government job at '''KirbyCord''' as an '''admin''', which he humbly accepted, he continues using '''SwagCord''' against his better judgement.

==== The Final Days of the Regime ====
In an effort to more efficiently enforce the crackdown, with the '''mod team''' becoming bloated and ineffective as many had stopped using the server regularly, on February 20, '''Barley''' is plucked from among the '''proles''' and is given '''mod perms''', who, according to '''Decoherence''', the '''Minister of Love''', was "the only active user [he]'d trust with mod right now".<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Decoherence'''|date=February 20, 2024|content=barley is the only active user I'd trust with mod right now|server=19SwagBalls84|channel='''admin-family-guy-roleplay'''}}</ref> '''Barley''' served as a '''moderator''' with distinction, however after a political debate on Palestine/Israel she decided to take a break from discord and left SwagBalls.

On March 2, the '''19SwagBalls84 Criminal Code''' was rewritten by '''Decoherence''' after a series of complaints from the '''chud underclass'''. The new rules, based on the original rules, rewritten in order to cut down on gray areas and to make the rules' enforcement both more transparent and easier, were subsequently unanimously voted in favor of by the '''moderators''' (8-0) with minor alterations. Made public on March 4, the '''New Criminal Code''' separates offenses into three categories of severity, ranging from offenses of the third-degree, the least severe and only lightly punished, to offenses of the first-degree, which lead to an immediate ban.

With over a month passing since the server rebranded, the '''mod team''' would receive many complaints about running the joke to the group and continuing to play into the bit long after it wore off. The '''New Criminal Code''' was especially controversial, with rules such as the one preventing the use of "kys" producing much discontent. Discontent continued to rise, and the powder keg was nearly ready to go off.

==== Civil Unrest ====
Despite their benevolent rule, discontent had long been rising against the '''Mod Team''' or the '''Party'''. On March 4, '''Koknese''', a notable '''Revolutionary''' leader during '''the War...''', created the '''SwagBalls Shartyist Party''' (<b style="color:#ff0000">SSP</b>), with the stated mission of eradicating political discussion, having fun, and doing stuff.<ref>'''Koknese''' (March 4, 2024): <br>
guys let's just create a swagballs political party<br>
- it will eradictae irl political discussion<br>
- it's fun<br>
- we get to do stuff<br>
''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🔪-girards-torture-chamber'''.
</ref> Soon after, '''Charter''' decided to open an opposing party, the '''SwagBalls Booru Party''' (<b style="color:#ff0000">SBBP</b>), yet realizing that their similarities made them closer than their differences could ever break them apart, the parties merged, forming the '''SwagBalls Sharty Booru Party''' (<b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>). 
[[File:SSBPLogo.png|left|thumb|The party logo of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>, designed by '''Koknese'''.]]
Vowing to fight against perceived injustice placed on the server by the new, unpopular rules, the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> posted a political manifesto,<ref> '''Koknese''' (March 8, 2024): [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1214231022678315108/1215704911723888731 JOIN SSBP, FIGHT FOR SSBP!] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🤬-ssbp'''.</ref> intending on spreading the message of fighting for the right to, among others, say KYS ironically<ref group=note>Fighting a ban imposed by rule '''2.5'''.</ref> and gamble again, in addition to making the '''#admin-family-guy-roleplay''' public. While radical members have been found responsible for hate crimes against '''Homestuckers''', against whom there has been a growing sentiment, the activities of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> did not help them recruit new members, and although their membership count remained stable, the movement was expected to fade into obscurity.

==== Dissolution of Parliament ====
[[File:SDPLogoSB.png|left|thumb|131x131px|The logo of the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b>, designed by '''Chauka'''. The three downvotes stand for the fight against chuddiness, dictatorship and censorship.]]
While the radicalism of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> did not appeal to every voter, opposition against the '''Party''' grew when '''Chauka''' decided to open her own political party. Christened the '''Democratic Party of SwagBalls''' (<b style="color:#660080">DPoS</b>), the name was soon changed to the '''SwagBalls Democratic Party''' (<b style="color:#660080">SDP</b>) with the release of its manifesto,<ref>'''Chauka''' (March 12, 2024): [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1217194323104366693/1217197455582695495 the basic beliefs of the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b> are ones of freedom of expression while retaining an enjoyable experience] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#😺-sdp-↓↓↓'''.</ref> calling for the democratization of server rule, the opening of a political channel, and loosening of the word filter to allow for free '''Homestuck''' expression, as the party strictly condemned discrimination.
[[File:TBPWIFSLogo.png|left|thumb|131x131px|The party logo of <b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b>, designed by '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian'''.]]
The <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b> was soon joined by '''The Best Party, Which I Fully Support''' (<b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b>), led by '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian OKctavio De Willis Gimblejrad Gungdimyr Flemtoto The 603st''', claiming to be the one true prophet of '''girard''', who believed that the true problem that had befallen '''SwagCord''' was amount of '''swag giving''' that was happening lately, as clearly ironic speech was stifled by it being taken seriously. In a list of demands, <b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b> called for a crackdown on seriousposting and loosening of the anti-harassment rules, believing them to be overbroad, while wishing to place tighter restrictions on '''Homestuckers'''. Initially promising to ban minors from the server, he retracted it from the list of demands after finding no good way to implement it.<ref> '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' (March 13, 2024): "Decided to remove the anti-minor part of the demands, as I can't find a good way to implement that" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#👁-tbpwifs'''.</ref>

The '''Party''', realizing that there was no stopping the rising discontent, made the decision to dissolve '''Parliament''', announcing the first democratic elections in '''SwagBalls''' history.<ref> '''Walter''' (March 13, 2024): "The Party has officially dissolved the People's Parliament and has announced that elections will be held on Sunday, March 17. Televised debates between the highest-polling candidates will occur on March 14 and March 16. Long live SwagCord! Long live the Party! Long live Big Brother!" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#❗-announcements'''. </ref> Set to be held on '''March 17''', they would be preceded by two debates between the candidates.

==== Snowball Effect ====
[[File:LPDFLogo.png|left|thumb|136x136px|The logo of the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, designed by '''Lin'''.]]
[[File:SASPLogo.png|left|thumb|136x136px|The logo of <b style="color:#66FFFF">SASP</b>, designed by '''Ballistyx'''. ]]
[[File:FUNLogo.png|left|thumb|136x136px|The logo of the <b style="color:#CC66FF">FUN</b> party, chosen by '''Barley'''.]]

With the elections in full swing, many new parties started to spring up, although unable to achieve the same level of popular success as the already established opposition.

The '''Lininist Party for Democracy and Freedom''' (<b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>), taking its name from its leader, '''Lin''', wished to loosen the chat filter and introduce a channel for the discussion of politics. Strongly pro-democratic, the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b> wished to implement a system where the '''Party''' would handpick candidates to participate in the elections, in order to protect the nation against political threats. Running on a platform similar to the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b>, the main difference between the two was that '''Lin''' was the one to be placed in power.<ref>'''Lin''' (March 13, 2024), in response to "slightly altered sdp": "but I'm the one in power instead" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🌐-lpdf'''.</ref>

The '''Swag and Security Party''' (<b style="color:#66FFFF">SASP</b>), led by '''Ballistyx''', sought to stomp out chuddery and increase '''Mod-Prole''' cooperation by establishing a volunteer watchguard that would report any suspicious activities to the server leadership. Despite allegations, independent fact-checkers have concluded that this was not a fed operation to influence server political discourse, and that '''Ballistyx''''s high-ranking status in the '''Party''' did not influence the <b style="color:#66FFFF">SASP</b> party's integrity in any way.

The '''Firetamers United Nation''' (<b style="color:#CC66FF">FUN</b>), started by '''Barley''', got its name from its dedication to the fight against '''FIRE''' ('''F'''ights, '''I'''nsults, and '''R'''eckless '''E'''vils), wishing to put an end to negative behavior which had plagued the server for so long to make the server a more '''FUN''' place to use, encouraging stronger community participation in making it happen.

The '''Anti-Swag Militia''' ('''ASM'''), a double-plus-orthodox Moexist-Lesterist paramilitary group led by '''Kelpwave''', split off from the '''Party''' leadership, believing that the '''Party''' had led the server far astray from its original goals, leading to the rise of chuddery and collective '''swag giving'''. Its military actions, however, were not fully successful, and the movement was soon co-opted by the larger '''Party''' from which the movement had split off. The remaining members merged with the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, fighting with the Lininist cause against the status quo.

==== The First Debate ====
The first debate of the March 2024 election cycle was held on '''March 14''', at '''20:20 GMT'''. Going into the debates without any front-running candidate, the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>, the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b> and the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, having formed the <b style="color:#FFC000">SSU</b> coalition ('''SwagBalls Shartyist Union'''), soon renamed to the <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> ('''Lininist SwagBalls Shartyist Union'''), minutes prior to the debate,<ref> "@Walter the ssbp, the sdp, and the lpdf have officially merged into the SSU (swagballs shartyist union)" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#⭐-patriot-chat'''. </ref> instead of picking a candidate internally, decided to have all of their candidates on stage for the night to have the voter decide instead. '''Chauka''' dropped out of the race, throwing her support for the newly formed union.

Moderated by the politically fair and unbiased '''Decoherence''', the debate featured '''Big Brother (Walter)''', the incumbent leader running for election, <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> candidates '''Koknese''', '''Charter''' and '''Lin''', leading the opposition, as well as '''Shitminister LarKcuavian''', slowly rising in the polls. Other candidates were invited but were unable to join. After technical problems at the beginning were resolved by always glorious '''Big Brother''', whereby every candidate was allowed to speak at the same time, candidates were given questions to be answered one at a time.

Asked about what his opinion was on the '''Homestuck''' issue, '''Koknese''' stood against the issue but stated that it should be resolved through democratic means, personally wishing to implement a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_ask,_don%27t_tell don't ask, don't tell] policy and segregate them into their own channel. With '''Koknese''' firmly standing in support for '''Homestucker''' segregation, calling it "morally correct"<ref>'''Koknese''' (March 14, 2024), in response to "Do you think segregation is wrong?": <br>
"no it is morally correct <br>
depending on who you segregate" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🤓-debate-channel'''.</ref>
, '''Lin''', the leader of the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, split off from the <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> minutes into the debate after hearing the answer, standing firmly pro-'''Homestuck'''. '''Charter''', claiming that the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> had been bastardized by '''Koknese''''s radical beliefs<ref>'''Charter''' (March 14, 2024): "[...] i’ve been making consistent effort to convey my political endeavors and move toward something equitable for all people, koknese has been holding me back with his radical beliefs. i honestly wanted to kick him out for a while. this is what the SSBP was created to be. not what koknese bastardized it into" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🤓-debate-channel'''.</ref> left the coalition as well. The <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> coalition completely fell apart within 10 minutes of the debate starting.

'''Yeetmaster''', an <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> member who was believed not to be able to attend, joined the debate after the coalition had already fully collapsed, already not having been part of the coalition talks, communicating through a 7-year-old tablet. Disregarding a minor incident where an old man wandered onto the debate stage, the debate continued. '''Koknese''' further called for "lynching" server members by democratic vote, wishing to implement a '''Chudledsky™ Score''' system, intended to keep track of chuddery and allow for server members themselves to pit users after guilt was determined. With the first debate proving itself to be a disaster for the <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b>, '''Walter''', when asked which of the other candidates he supported most, threw his support behind '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian'''.

Shortly after the debate, Koknese established the SwagBalls political theory, and it is as follows;

- Paleo-Shartyism - SSBP Values, focus on total homestuck eradication and power to the proles. Inherits some Revolutionary ideas.
- Shartyism - TBPWIFS Values, focus on religion and total girard rule
- Neo-shartyism - LSSU Values, focus on total freedom to discuss homestuck, oppose everything that SSBP stands for.

==== Post-Debate Fallout ====
[[File:SSBP supporters.png|thumb|225x225px|Radical supporters of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> chanting in support of '''Koknese''' in front of '''#admin-family-guy-roleplay'''.]]
Widely believed to be one of the worst campaign blunders in the history of elections, the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> never fully recovered from the political fallout birthed from '''Koknese''''s anti-'''Homestuck''' comments. While most of the former <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> electorate had switched to the newly formed <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b>, without the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>, statements in support of segregation and lynching led to the consolidation of the radical wing of the party, which stayed firmly in support of '''Koknese''''s policies. While '''Koknese''' has claimed that there was a word mix-up due to English being his second language, believing to be a complete synonym for "execution", without knowledge of the term's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching racist past], the radical beliefs of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> continued to turn off voters.

'''Yeetmaster''', not wishing to associate with the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> in light of the debate, decided to run as an independent, gaining moderate support even without a party to back him. A political moderate, supporting a fairer judicial system without favoritism and more government transparency, his campaign, while somewhat successful, was unable to draw many votes from the radical <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> base.

'''Charter''', the elected leader of the reformed <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b>, is thrown into '''the pit''' in order to prevent escalating political violence after calling opposition leader '''Koknese''' a "fucking idiot". He is released soon after, and is invited to the second debate on '''March 16'''.

==== The Second Debate ====

The second debate was set to start on '''March 16''' at '''3:00 PM GMT''', with all candidates in the race being invited. Due to a variety of circumstances, however, it was only '''Walter''' who showed up on time, and the debate started without any other candidate being present. The battle of wits with his greatest opponent, himself, soon ended as '''Charter''' arrived late, still on time to answer the first question. The candidates continued pouring in, as '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' soon joined to attend the debate as well, having just woken up, followed by '''Koknese''', who would be the last candidate to arrive for the debate, having driven through the Latvian cold to bring medication to a family member. Other candidates reported work and oversleeping as the main reason for their absence.

Generally of a calmer atmosphere than the first one, no great scandal plagued the debate, which was set to end with the official opening of the election polls, giving one final chance for all the candidates to make their case for themselves and to tend to wounds given to their campaign over the past days. '''Koknese''' formally apologized for his usage of the word "lynching" in his policies on the same stage that caused a party split just two days prior, giving a more moderate tone to his campaign and attempting to appeal to progressives by endorsing the usage of tone indicators<ref group=note>/s, /j, /srs and the like. </ref> to protect the right to tell others to kill themselves.

The debates concluded in high spirits with a beautiful message from '''Big Brother''',<ref group=note>Despite complaints, independent fact-checkers have found no bias in this statement.</ref> followed immediately after by the opening of the '''#🎫-voting-booth'''. The closed-ballot elections were to be open for the following 36 hours, without even the '''Inner Party Members''' having access to the results before they closed. The political atmosphere, for a short while, calmed down, as the server members eagerly awaited the results.

==== Results ====
The election results were counted and made public on '''March 17''' at '''19:00 GMT'''.<ref>'''EasyPoll''' (March 17, 2024) [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1218588934922047529/1218590837647347782 SwagBalls March 2024 Election Results] ''Discord''.</ref> While no candidate received a majority, the '''Party''', led by '''Walter''', achieved the largest share of the popular vote at 29.2%, outperforming polling, winning in a landslide against the other candidates, with the second-largest party, <b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b>, trailing behind by 8.4 points. With the elections utilizing a single-vote, first-past-the-post system, '''Walter''' was officially declared server '''Swagsident''', legitimizing the '''Party''''s rule through democratic means.

==== Post-Election Riots ====
[[File:ElectionFraudSB.png|thumb|199x199px|An example of a social media post placing doubt on the legitimacy of the '''March 2024 SwagBalls Elections'''.]]
Despite the glaring success of the democratic experiment, electing a leader supported by a ''plurality'' of the people, the representatives from many of the losing parties were quick to call the elections into question, deeming them unfair and throwing out the results. With a message announcing the reformation of the '''Revolutionaries'''<ref> '''Koknese''' (March 19, 2024) [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/938728183203758082/1219012365471977502 We the People] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#❗-announcements'''. </ref> making waves, it was clear that the democracy the '''Party''' had fought so hard to create was threatened by radicals. With the most destructive members given temporary timeouts, it was clear that the core issue was being ignored. Attempting to quell discontent, '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian OKctavio De Willis Gimblejrad Gungdimyr Flemtoto The 603st''', who had shown his support for democratic ideals by deciding not to participate in the protests against the rightful rulers of '''SwagCord''', was named '''Vice-Swagsident''', reaching a combined popular vote of 50%.

While the '''Walter-LarKcuavian government''' was sworn into office without bloodbath, calls against the two continued into their term, with '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''', the lead reformer as chosen by the people, being called a populist and a '''Party''' bootlicker. Nonetheless, the '''Vice-Swagsident''' opted to go the route of not giving a swag in the face of these baseless attacks, and decided to focus his time on helping change the nation for the better before the next elections put his popularity to the test. As a possible '''Chudfederacy secession''' loomed on the horizon, securing support remained key.

==== Outer Heaven: Ragecord ====
After extreme dissatisfaction with the "god complex" of the vice-swagsident, Koknese, yeetmaster and Charter decided to create a branch of SwagCord called the Ragecord. It is a discord server that's main theme is 2008 larp with ragecomics and Justin Bieber hatred.

Koknese, after finding out what other members were saying about them while Koknese and Charter were offline, have truly committed to making the ragecord their new home. Koknese set the ideology of "crossbreeding meme cultures and uniting them in ragecomics", which included advertising the server om various platforms to achieve maximum diversity in humor and in hopes to create hybrid memes that would get more members into their community. The server is advertised in SpaceHey and Tumblr.

Like the aforementioned "crossbreeding", the trio also brought in some of their Swagballs culture to the table. The server quickly had summoned Girards' cousin - Reginald, which apparently, Girard despises. Meme Alt has also given Koknese the source code for the SwagBalls bot and he quickly edited it and established the Ragecord equivalent of pitting practices - tickets to Justin Bieber performances.

The trio also vowed to leave Swagballs once they gain a stable, active member count, each with their own reasons - one maybe feels slightly offended by the shittalking, others may also be tied with the god complex of Larkc.

Ragecord has merged with Hellcord, an inactive, 500 user filled subreddit/server. SwagBalls politologists and forecasters have projected Ragecord to reach a minimum of 200~  members until late August.

=== The Walter-LarKcuavian Government ===
[[File:SwagCordHolyTrinity.png|thumb|317x317px|The '''Walter-LarKcuavian''' presidency marked the official recognition of the '''Holy Trinity''' - the Father ('''Meme Alt'''), the Son ('''Walter''') and the Holy Spirit ('''girard''') - as the official state religion.]]

<!----Ragecord rebellion against the swagcord leadership
participating: charter, dainis, boris chico, joffe (double agent), chauka (pledged allegiance to swagcord)
goal: deposing LarKcuavian from power
notes: 
overwhelming belief amongst the revolutionaries that LarkCuavian had anything more than figurehead powers 
threat of a cockroach invasion (koknese)
possible koknese alts (10) in the server---->

On a chilly evening in Eastern Europe, something suspicious was going on in '''Ragecord'''. The '''SwagBalls''' ambassador and leader, '''Walter''' was forcefully thrown into a bunker under the pretenses of '''Charter''' and '''Koknese''' keeping him safe from nuclear war. In truth, a riot was brewing in '''Ragecord''''s '''SwagBallian''' politics channel, as '''Koknese''' started rallying up the '''𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓈''' and the '''Ragecordian''' separatists.

Shortly after assembling in '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜''', '''Koknese''' started directing cryptic, single-word messages in the chat calling for standby, before at once releasing a crowd of 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓈 on the server, spamming messages and 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓎 GIFs in support of the riot. Yet mere moments later, the rebellion was quelled, as '''Walter''' emerged from the bunker just in time to stop the riot, immediately shooting '''Koknese''' with a taser and disposing of him in '''The Pit''', with the rest soon following. 

Despite the '''Ragecord''' leadership being convinced in the success of their plan, it's swift failure indicated foul play. A leak had occurred. One of the '''Ragecordian 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓈''', '''Joff_e''', had contacted '''Walter''' hours before in private to warn him of the incoming rebellion. When he was thrown into the bunker, he had already taken notice of the '''Ragecordian''' plans, allowing for a quick and immediate response to the revolt. Thrown into '''The Pit''', the '''Ragecordians''' awaited punishment.

Originally planning on staying silent, '''Koknese''' responded only with GIFs of an imprisoned '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei%20Navalny Navalny]''', however, after being taunted by Walter by asking if he preferred to die by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novichok Novichok] or a gunshot, he began speaking up, as did the rest of the '''Pit Dwellers'''. Giving them a choice, '''Walter''' the rebels freedom in exchange for a pledge of undying loyalty to '''SwagCord'''. '''Chauka''' immediately took the offer and was freed from '''The Pit'''. '''Koknese''', '''Charter''' and '''Peace''', who had recently returned to the server, now standing to advocate for 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀 rights, would not accept the terms, instead speaking out about their grievances with the server, primarily concerning the election of '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' as '''Vice-Swagsident''', demanding his immediate resignation in exchange for the end of the coup.

As it became increasingly clear that '''Charter''''s and '''Koknese''''s grievances would not be met through words alone, '''Koknese''' began threatening '''Walter''' with more serious threats, mentioning the presence of up to 10 alt accounts he had managed to sneak into the server over the months he could use to spam the server. The threats continued increasing in scope, and eventually included calling '''the Cockroach'''. Having performed an interview with him recently as part of an abandoned '''SwagCord documentary''', '''Koknese''' had the ability to potentially contact the subhuman creature, and supply it with the aforementioned alt accounts. '''Walter''' did not back down in face of the threats, calling out the bluff. '''The Cockroach''' was ultimately not called upon. 

In order to enable the enjoyment of the incredible nature of the conversation, '''The Pit''' was opened for the entire server to see. Upon personal request, a major debate sparked as '''Vice-Swagsident LarKcuavian''' decided to enter '''The Pit'''. As the conversation got more heated with his appearance, the ensuing conversation revealed major contrasts between public perception of the powers of the '''Vice-Swagsident''' and reality, with a prevalent belief amongst the rebels that the '''Vice-Swagsident''' had anything more than ceremonial powers, at one point hilariously calling for making '''LarKcuavian''' a figurehead leader in exchange for ending the rebellion, unknowingly simply upholding the status quo. 74 minutes after the users were thrown into '''The Pit''', they were released, with no major change affecting the server.

With the rebellion resulting in failure, '''Joff_e''' was executed for treason by the '''Ragecord''' mod team and banned from the server. He would later be brought back in exchange for several '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision%20Song%20Contest%202024 2024 Eurovision]''' televotes.

==Rules==

=== The February Constitution ===
The rules of '''SwagBalls''' were originally posted by '''Meme Alt''' on February 22nd, 2022, with additional rules being added at later dates. The no bigotry rules were strengthened as a variety of slurs were banned in all contexts, removed automatically by the '''AutoModerator'''. On May 15th, 2023, '''Walter''' clarified the list of words banned under the rules, as well as their respective punishments.

The old rules of '''SwagBalls''' were as follows:[[File:SwagBalls banner June 2023.webp|thumb|The server's banner since June 2023.]]
#No racism.
#No homophobia or LGBTQ+ related phobia.
#No spam.
#No suspicious links, files, malware.
#No gore/NSFL/Violent videos (videos/pictures/gifs of real death, injuries, violence etc. This includes humans and animals)
#No sexism.
#No disrespecting others.
#Please try to post the right content in the appropriate channels. I will not be too harsh on enforcing this but keep that in mind.
#If you want truly serious discussion without jokes or memes go to ''#serious-discussion''
# DO NOT be inappropriate with people under the age of 18.
#There will absolutely be no discussion or talk of Femboys. Nor will there be any sharing of content including femboys. This includes but is not limited to videos, memes, pictures, copypastas etc...
##Amendment to 11: Boykisser falls under this and is banned. 
#If you somehow have permission to. Do not ping @ everyone OR @ any role without permission from the server owner.
#Do not post any sexual content such as porn.
#No horny talk, no horny memes, no horny jokes on this server.  It is cringe and inappropriate. I do not care if you think its a joke, do not do it.
##Amendment to rule 14: don't talk about gooning or edging.
#Absolutely no doxxing for any reason. Not even yourself.
#There will be absolutely no venting on this server anywhere. ''⁠#serious-discussion'' will only be for discussions.
#The main language of this server is English. So please, only speak in english.
#Do not share pirated material.
#Absolutely no political discussions at all. You will be warned first. If you continue then you will be muted.
#If someone genuinely tells you that your jokes make them uncomfortable, no matter how ironic, you should stop making them immediately.
#You are not allowed to advertise discord servers

It should be noted that '''Rule 16''' was not enforced at all, and ''discussion'' of piracy did not violate '''Rule 18'''.

=== New Criminal Code ===
On March 2, 2024, as part of the '''1984 Chud Crackdown''', the old rules were rewritten in order to cut down on gray areas and to make the rules' enforcement both more transparent and easier, and were subsequently unanimously voted in favor of by the '''moderators''' (8-0) with minor alterations. Made public on March 4, 2024, with offenses separated into three degrees of severity, the new rules, crafted by '''Decoherence,''' read as follows:

==== --- FIRST DEGREE OFFENSES --- ====
A first degree offense will be met with an instant ban. 

'''1.1.''' '''BIGOTRY.''' Posting bigoted content is a first degree offense. 

'''1.2.''' '''MALWARE.''' Posting malware is a first degree offense. 

'''1.3.''' '''GORE.''' Posting IRL gore or shock content without a warning is a first degree offense. 

'''1.4.''' '''PORN.''' Posting porn is a first degree offense. 

'''1.5.''' '''DOXXING.''' Doxxing ANYONE, even yourself, is a first degree offense.

==== -- SECOND DEGREE OFFENSES -- ====
A second degree offense will be met with a trip to '''the pit'''. In particularly egregious cases, the mod team may ban the offending user after discussing the case while the user remained pitted. 

'''2.1. SPAM.''' Spamming in channels is a second degree offense. Spamming advertisements in channels is a first degree offense. 

'''2.2. VIOLENCE.''' Posting videos that contain IRL violence without a spoiler tag or warning is a second degree offense. 

'''2.3. HARRASSMENT.''' Ongoing harassment of any user is a second degree offense and may be met with a ban after review by the mod team. 

'''2.4. HORNY CONVERSATIONS.''' Thirstposting, thirst comments, or any sexually charged conversation is a second degree offense. This includes posting shock content/porn memes like incredible gassy or gooning. A sexually charged conversation with a minor is a first degree offense. 

<s>'''2.5. ENCOURAGING SUICIDE OR SELF-HARM.''' Encouraging suicide or self-harm, even telling people to "kys" as a joke, is a second degree offense.</s> <b style="color:#ff0000">(Repealed as of May 20, 2024)</b>

<s>'''3.x. DISRESPECT.''' Insulting or demeaning another user is a third degree offense. If you feel that you are being harrassed, consider DMing a moderator about it so that action may be taken.</s> <b style="color:#ff0000">(Repealed as of May 20, 2024)</b> 

'''3.1. NON-ENGLISH CONVERSATIONS.''' Speaking in a language other than English is difficult for the mod team to moderate, and may be met with a mute if kept up for more than a few messages. Talking about other languages is fine. The issue is if you have conversations that other people can't understand. 

'''3.2. PIRACY.''' Sharing pirated material is a third degree offense, and the material in question will be deleted.

'''3.7. NO HOMESTUCK.''' The original sin will not be mentioned by name. Any offending post will be deleted off the face of the earth.

== Ongoing Campaigns ==
<code>THIS SECTION OF THE ARTICLE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.</code>

=== SwagCraft ===
==== SwagCraft Legacy ====
'''SwagCraft Legacy''' was an entry in the SwagCraft server trilogy. Hosted by Ozzy, it became a spine-tingling adventure for all SwagBallers daring to take the call for adventure. Server also had a collab with wunkcord {{citation needed}}, before closing down due to financial issues.
==== SwagCraft II ====
'''SwagCraft II ''' was an entry in the SwagCraft trilogy. It was by far the most eventful across both iterations. Frequent members of the server call it similair to a ghost town, that keeps being haunted by ghosts that do things in the server. SwagCraft II saw the creation of the biggest organization yet, C.O.C.K, known for its brutalistic design choices and great economy. The organization has also achieved and refined flight technologies, making a one way plane, an expensive-to-use second plane, powered by flint and steel, and a third iteration, that was meant to be quick and cheap 4 way means of transportation, but unfortunately due to flaws in mechanisms, the plane broke apart and flew very far away. The server also saw the creation of the Swagology religion, having a full fledged bible and a church. The server was shut down due to financial and inactivity issues.
==== The SwagCraft ====
'''The SwagCraft ''' is an entry in the '''SwagCraft''' trilogy, being the current one. In contrast to the other two servers, it is run in a different version of the game, and on a completely new map, as well now the dictator of the server being '''Koknese'''. The server funds were crowdfunded, guaranteeing long livelihood.

'''The''' '''SwagCraft''' slowly lost activity, and '''Koknese''' decided to give the server a quirk, having two teams compete against each other. This was quite unsuccessful, however, with activity remaining relatively low. On March 3rd 2024, the server was raided by a raiding group, which lavacasted all the buildings on the server. It is currently not known how they found the server's IP. While many blame the '''Cockroach''' for ordering the strike, these theories have mostly been considered baseless by reputable sources. An automated griefing process called '''SkyNet''', which allows for computer generation of IP addresses, is currently believed to be the most probable cause, as it would require no intentional leak from a server member.<ref>(March 4, 2024) [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1118841457504161845/1214251469537148948 Did the Cockroach raid the SwagBalls Minecraft server?] ''Snopes''.</ref>

===Built By Gamers===
The '''Built By Gamers''' campaign is an active trolling campaign in the server for the famous YouTube shorts video game podcast BuiltByGamers. The campaign is mostly harmless, just SwagBallers taking the themes that the channel covers to the extreme. Mossfish, a member of SwagBalls was quite successful and even gained the attention and positive reaction from one of the hosts of the podcast. It is rumored that mossfish is now supplying the gamers with information for their videos.

==Trivia==
*Although '''girard''' is a registered '''Republican''', he has floated around the idea of a potential '''Libertarian''' presidential run in 2024. While not officially announcing his candidacy yet, his popularity leaves a strong possibility of him being chosen at the '''Libertarian National Convention''' in May this year.
**Despite his libertarian leanings, he has also expressed support for '''Adolf Hitler''' several times, and frequently uses racial slurs. Was it all just "bait" or even "satire"? Unfortunately, nobody can tell because of '''Poe's law'''.
* There is an abandoned staff role "'''janitor'''" that is no longer used, yet it is still mentioned in the rules. Last known member with the role was '''Lin'''.
* The term '''Macromaniac Wars''' is a bastardization of the [[wikipedia:Marcomannic_Wars|Marcomannic Wars]], first uttered by '''Decoherence,'''<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Decoherence'''|date=November 15, 2023|content=Girard will abolish society and begin a new age of mindless violence: the macromaniac wars!|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🔪-girards-torture-chamber'''|link=https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1171575756695019665/1174381032015925319}}</ref> that subsequently entered popular use.
