'''69MoeLester420''' was a small Discord server dedicated to the shitposting subreddit '''r/69MoeLester420'''. It closed on March 30, 2023, after it merging with the '''[[69SwagBalls420]]''' Discord server. Despite its small size, numbering barely 50 members at its peak, the culture of this server has proven influential over its much larger successor. Some of the server's drama was resolved or buried and some of it has risen up to plague the new server. May the tumultuous history of 69MoeLester420 serve as a cautionary tale.
'''69SwagBalls420''', also known as "'''SwagBalls'''", or "'''SwagCord'''", is a moderately sized irony Discord server. It is the official server for the meme/shitposting subreddits '''r/69Moelester420''', '''r/IDONTGIVEASWAG''', '''r/IkeaFreshBalls''' and '''r/█████████████.'''<ref name=":0">{{Cite message|author='''███████'''|date=December 26, 2023|content=haiiiiiiiii 69swagballs420cord :3 I am writing this to let you all know that we have officially merged with █████ ███ so yeah, have a good day or night or whatever :3|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''❗-announcements'''|link=https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/938833517813571585/1188865276326969447}}</ref> Its name is a combination of the names of the first three subreddits, in addition to the now-defunct Discord server '''█████ ███'''.

{{stub}}
'''69MoeLester420''' was created for the subreddit of the same name on April 3, 2022. The server was opened during r/place, at the initiative of '''WalterWhiteOnReddit''' and '''Max5923''' to co-ordinate the construction of a monument to the subreddit on the r/place canvas. Several '''Moederators''' joined during this initial frenzy of activity, their esteemed names being:
 
*'''Mr. Sex'''
=== The Birth of girard ===
*'''SlenderSmurf'''
[[File:Girardfirstwords.png|thumb|'''girard'''<nowiki/>'s first words]]
*'''Mendev'''
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.
*'''Gladiux'''
 
Some of these people would soon fade into obscurity. Others will forever remain part of the '''69MoeLester420''' mythos. The server link was soon posted to the subreddit and ordinary members decided to join.<ref>Max5923 (April 3, 2022). [https://www.reddit.com/r/69Moelester420/comments/tv93z1/69moelester420_rplace_discor1/ "69moelester420 r/place discor!!1"] ''Reddit''.</ref> As is the nature with servers like these, people join, only to drift away after a while, yet one person in particular, an individual known only as '''Deez''', remained an active member of the server until its very end, despite, by his own admission, never having heard of the subreddit before joining. Godspeed, '''Deez'''.

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>, surprised to see how much the server has grown over the course of a single day, attributed to '''Sam'''<nowiki/>'s recent server promotion on the '''r/IkeaFreshBalls''' subreddit. The conversation otherwise unremarkable, chaos ensued as attention quickly 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 being rediscovered. No longer deemed an "other", 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> Comfortably passing the [[wikipedia:Turing_test|Turing test]] with a scarily accurate performance, far beyond what would be reproducible through pure randomness, soon, he had become an inseparable part of the '''SwagCord''' family, as it was deemed unethical to treat him as below 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.


=== Early History ===
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>
As the event soon concluded, the '''Moederators''' decided to keep using the server, having found it much more convenient than modmail. For a time the server remained relatively inactive, with a few shitposts being shared daily without much discussion in between, perhaps lasting a dozen messages before falling back into silence. They say hindsight is 20/20 and many things that were simply ignored at the time, or forgotten entirely, took on a more sinister aspect when gazed back upon. The fact that '''Gladiux''' was quick to insult anything he didn't find funny was one of these. At the time it seemed unremarkable, as he merely expressed thoughts shared by the other '''Moederators''', but looking back, it seems to foreshadow the events that would transpire almost a year later.


On April 4, '''Bufner''' joined the server.
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? (Klaus Schwab Deepfake Music Video w/lyrics)] ''Youtube.''</ref> However, the ringleader has always evaded them. It is not '''Klaus Schwab''' who is pulling the strings. 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.


On May 22, '''Gio249''', another subreddit mod and a friend of '''Gladiux''', joined the server.
=== The Macromaniac Wars ===
=== The Renaissance Era ===
On May 23, ''Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy'' was released on AMC+.<ref>Roush, Matt (May 23, 2022). [https://www.tvinsider.com/1045418/prehistoric-planet-saul-ncis-neighborhood/ "Our Prehistoric Planet, 'Saul' Midseason finale and Animated 'Slippin' Jimmy,' 'NCIS' and More Season Finales".] ''TV Insider''</ref> The Breaking Bad community went wild. Having been released so close to the season 6 finale of ''Better Call Saul'', ''Slippin' Jimmy'' was seen as a personal insult by fans of ''Breaking Bad''; a clear cash-grab meant to capitalize on the success of its sister show. It was ''Family Guy'' for kids, with none other than Saul Goodman as its face.


So thought the uneducated masses, unable to think critically about what they watch. But the show did not fly under '''69MoeLester420''''s radar, as the intellectuals of the server were able to see the genius of ''Slippin' Jimmy''. The intelligentsia of the server responsed with their own stunning commentary on the show: on June 4, Pickle Jimmy was released into the world.
==== The Prophecy ====
{{Quote|''''PANDORA IS GIRARDT<ref>{{Cite message|author='''girard'''|date=November 22, 2023|content=PANDORA IS GIRARDT|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🔪-girards-torture-chamber'''|link=https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1171575756695019665/1176661251091337227}}</ref>'''|Girard}}[[File:Thermwars.jpeg|thumb|'''girard''' calls back to his prophecy on November 24, strengthening the belief that thermonuclear war would take place on '''December 8'''.|214x214px]]The man of metal speaks in riddles. 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>


On the very same day, lightning would be bottled once more, as emojis were added to the server. Trollface came first, suggested by none other than '''Deez''', but it was soon trumped by the world-famous Trollbama, courtesy of r/trollbama, a subreddit once moderated by '''Mr. Sex''', now entrusted to '''WalterWhiteOnReddit'''. As inconceivable as it may seem that comedy gold would be struck twice in a single day, the third strike was the real kicker, a combination of the two worth more than the sum of its parts; the :picklejimmy: emoji. After such a success, the entire comedy industry went out of business, knowing that nothing would ever surpass the achievements of that fateful day.
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.'''


In the days that followed, the server became active once more, with actual conversations taking place between image posts, creating an environment almost as lively as the server was the day it opened.
==== 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.


On June 20, '''koonsbmw''' joined the server.
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.


On July 31, '''Max5923''' suggests making an '''Automoderator''' response under every post containing the server link. Up to that point, new members could only join by following the link on a subreddit post, leading to a low member count during its first few months. While nothing was initially done to follow through with the suggestion, it was repeated so many times that it was finally implemented.
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>
Contrary to popular belief, the '''r/69MoeLester420''' subreddit was not opened by '''Moe''' himself. The user '''KittenStomper6617''' was responsible for the creation and early growth of the community. Kittenstomper was permabanned from Reddit <small>(When?)</small> and not much is known about his activity following that ban, as he was not a member of the server.

Contact was lost with '''KittenStomper6617''' until August 2, when '''WalterWhiteOnReddit''' noticed a peculiar comment under a post on '''r/69MoeLester420'''. <small>(A screenshot or transcript of the comment should be added here.)</small>

The reaction was primal and instantaneous - the idea that the owner of the subreddit had returned after so many months in exile was exhilarating, it almost seemed too good to be true. An entire evening was spent in blissful ignorance, with the new '''CatKicker6617''' receiving the treatment of a returning Messiah, until another message was received, dashing the collective hopes of the MoeLester community; a reply under one of '''CatKicker6617's''' comments which contained a link to a comment in the subreddit '''r/TrueSTL''', a subreddit that '''KittenStomper6617''' used to frequent. The link led to an edited comment of '''KittenStomper6617's''', calling '''CatKicker6617''' out as an imposter. The joy created by '''KittenStomper6617's''' prodigal return soon faded.

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.  


On December 3, '''Ivan697''' joined the server.
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 Dark Ages ===
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.
On December 6 the server link was added as an automoderator response to every post to '''r/69MoeLester420'''. Previously the majority of the conversations on the server were held almost exclusively by the mod team, with the notable exceptions of '''Deez''' and '''Norman the Mormon'''. The automod response resulted in a sudden influx of new users who started to participate in the server. Given the sheer brilliance of the early posts, it was no surprise that the server took a major downturn in quality.


This period, despite its negative impact on the overall state of the server, allows for the history of MoeLester to be divided into two parts; the first, in which the server was nothing more than a glorified group chat for the '''Moederators''', and the second, in which the server truly became part of the community at large. Although the first few days were rough, the public invite would prove to be a blessing in disguise, in time revealing many issues present in the server and the mod team.
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 Exile of Bufner ===
==== Operation Soft Grey Morning ====


If anyone could be described as the odd one out in the '''MoeLester family''', it was Bufner. Whether it was the all-but-forgotten '''Happy Wheels Coup''' or the random opening of channels no one would use (sometimes they would be used for an entirely different purpose entirely <ref>Unbeknownst to many, the beloved #penis-channel was meant to be a simple "don't-break-the-chain" channel until the rightful will of the people turned it into the cultural phenomenon we know it as now.</ref>), it was almost as if he was always living in a world separate from ours, doing as he pleased, without much regard for whether the other members would even care about his activities. His presence, however, was uncontroversial for the most part (barring the '''r/fatfurs incident'''), as most of the time was spent fucking around in the #bot-channel. It was unfortunate, then, that this place would also serve as the catalyst for his exile.  
==== The Divorce ====
[[File:Third way.png|left|thumb|220x220px|'''Koknese''' attempts to recruit '''Walter''' into the '''third way movement'''.]]
[[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.


Before the details of the story are revealed, one should know that the actions taken by the '''moederators''' here will not be defended. It will be told how it happened, as unflattering as the whole situation may be to the server leadership as a whole. It is important to share, however, as even so the behavior of certain '''moederators''' would be put on full display, showing both how much this way of acting was tolerated in the past as well as why it is exactly that those '''moederators''' in question would go on to face karma in the future.  
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...'''


It started off innocently enough. Using the '''esmBot''', '''Bufner''' took an image and fed it into the bot repeatedly, in order to create a chain of subreddits at the bottom of the image. Starting with the classics, the comedy black holes that are '''r/funny''', '''r/gaming''' and '''r/dankmemes''', pretty soon quite an interesting subreddit name found itself on the list. As edgy of a place as the server used to be back in the day, doing this clearly pushed the boundaries even of a space like this. Ironic rape threats may have been shared almost daily, but racism was still taken somewhat seriously by the mod team. Although no punishment was given out, as it was assumed this issue would not be repeated, it was clear there may be consequences in the future should this happen again.
'''The Ceasefire'''


And so it did happen again. The details are slightly different this time, instead of the n-word being simply spelled out, the second incident is a thinking man's conundrum, a puzzle only solvable by the most genius members of society, for only a true intellectual could figure out the hidden meaning behind a gif showing nothing but the letter N dancing around. It would sure be quite unfortunate if someone else, accidentally, posted a GIF featuring the letter I right afterward. What naughty words might these letters write out in the end? Surely no one could have expected it to be the n-word of all things? As the majority of mods, even if they may seem that way, aren't 6-year-old children who are amused by the fact that a swear word is said, an issue was immediately taken around this when a server member tried to start an n-word chain. '''Bufner''' decided to, following the short conversation about it, to post the accursed GIF in mod chat. Thankfully, the n-word chain was quickly shut down before it even properly started. With the previous incident still freshly in mind, this failure of a chain was successful in bringing attention to '''Bufner''''s behavior and started a days-long focus on him.


Unfortunately, much of what happened in the following days has been lost to time, as many messages were deleted by '''Bufner''' himself without any logs to back them up. What remains, however, is not the prettiest of stories. While pretty much all of the mods agreed that the things he posted were cringe and had no place in this server, the way this situation was approached bordered on cruel. Led by '''Gladiux''' and '''Gio''', with a few of the other mods joining in from time to time, what happened was basically targeted bullying, with '''Bufner''' being made fun of after almost every single message he posted. While the other mods may have made a joke about it here and there, the two of them were relentless, taking any chance they could to take a jab at him. Signs of clear distress were visible in some of '''Bufner''''s messages, yet the mods still carried on.
The '''Ten Grievances''' were as follows:


On December 20, '''Bufner''' left the server and hasn't been contacted by any '''Moederator''' since.
# 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 Pit''' is used excessively by moderators as a form of punishment. [sic]


=== The Departure of Max ===
'''The War...'''


'''Max5923''' was here from the very beginning of the server, having been its creator and main coordinator during the '''r/place conquest'''. It may sound incredibly unusual, then, that his presence was barely felt by the other members of the server. As he was online quite rarely, it proved incredibly impractical to grant mod permissions to the other '''moederators''' once they joined, as it would always require the presence of '''Max5923'''. To combat this issue, a special role, meant for giving away to the new mods, was created. This, however, complicated things, as it meant some of the mods would have one role, and some the other. Overall, having two roles, which were of slightly different colors as well, made the server look uglier than it needed to be and made things confusing when they didn't need to be. This was one of many issues brought about by having an inactive head moderator, producing many inefficiencies in everything that was done. With the '''Bufner incident''' in full swing, it was clear this could not last.
==== 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.
<!--- Finish this one walt --->
<!--- ok i will :okcool: --->


Having been active so little, and planning on taking a break from social media anyways, it was no surprise that '''Max5923''' decided to leave the server behind as well. Although remaining a mostly inactive member, on December 17 he decided to abdicate his position of '''Owner''' and granted full ownership of the server to '''Mr. Sex''' in light of the new drama, as it was obvious the '''MoeLester nation''' needed a new leader to take care of the many issues at hand. As one final action before giving away ownership, another role, named '''moewner''', was created, meant to be given to the most trusted members of the mod team. While the ownership of the server could not be shared between multiple members, '''Max5923''' still wished to distribute the power among the '''moederators''', ultimately granting the role to '''koonsbmw''', '''Walter''' and the aforementioned '''Mr. Sex'''.  
==== 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.


Once the change in ownership was finalized, the '''moewner''' role soon went beyond its intended purpose, as the other mods soon started being granted the coveted new role, most notably, '''Gladiux''' and his partner in crime, '''Gio'''. Although it seemed like a harmless idea at the time, this action established a strict hierarchy in the mod team, giving full permissions to a select few and giving them more power than anyone else. Once the '''moewner''' role was given to someone, it could not be removed without the direct involvement of the '''Owner'''. This action essentially cemented the power of those two individuals, as much as you can call Discord modding perms "power", that is, setting the stage for future events to transpire.
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.


Having left the position of '''Owner''', '''Max5923''' had little business surrounding the server, only posting a few messages every few weeks before fading into the darkness once again. Although nothing has been heard from him in months, his influence in the growth of the '''MoeLester''' mythos should not be understated. An incredible group of people got together and remains as one a full year later. While we don't see you anymore, on behalf of the entire mod team I thank you for creating this server. Godspeed, '''Max5923'''.
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.  


=== An Odd Fellow ===
{{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?

[[File:KittenStomper6617Reveal.png|249x249px|thumb|left|The message containing the grand reveal. Notice the red ban message implying that the user was KittenStomper6617.]]

[[File:KittenStomper6617Reveal3.png|300x300px|thumb|right|Reality starts to settle in.]]
'''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

[[File:KittenStomperReveal4.png|295x295px|thumb|Joy.]]


On December 17, a new user joined the server, one of many, their presence barely registered by the mods. After a few messages, done in furry speak, in one of them seemingly recognizing '''koonsbmw''' as the furry moderator from the subreddit, the user went silent for the most part, before starting to engage in conversations once again on December 31. The user showed an interest in the '''Moederators''', first striking up a conversation with '''Mr. Sex''', before going on to greet '''Walter''', professing love to both of them, as though the mods knew who this user was, instead of them being a complete stranger.
We will sing ever so joyfully!


Although the user was quiet for the most part, they radiated generally wholesome energy whenever they were there, and their presence was generally appreciated. Such behavior was quite unusual in shitposting servers, yet it was still a nice break from the usual negativity that was by default present in these spaces. Either way, they were much better than most of the new server members, not much needed to be said beyond that.
The war is over, and fear is too;


The conversations on the server continued, as though nothing was out of the ordinary, I mean, such conversations are relatively normal in an ironic context, which the server most definitely provided. The fact that someone cared this much about the moderators was strange, most Reddit users don't give a swag about who their moderators are for the most part, yet even so, the occurrence wasn't weird enough for it to really stick in the minds of the mods. A special look at the user was only taken on January 3, when '''Mr. Sex''' shared the news of yet another KittenStomper6617 alt account being banned from Reddit.
We are ever so grateful for you!


All it took was but a single message.
Swag, oh Swaglandia is free!


It all suddenly clicked.


And the server went wild.
Charter began a plot to revolutionize


KittenStomper6617 was back, and back for good.
Yet Walt did not like that thought
=== The Swag Alliance===
On January 8, '''r/LesbianInsectBrothel''' was banned from Reddit.<ref>(January 8 2023). [https://web.archive.org/web/20230108114909/https://www.reddit.com/r/lesbianinsectbrothel/ "r/lesbianinsectbrothel has been banned from Reddit"] ''Reddit''.</ref> A sudden influx of gore videos hit the subreddit, as the mods, inactive accounts that haven't logged into the website in weeks, did nothing to stop it. Seeing such a huge subreddit being purged by Reddit, as a response to a situation no one could have predicted, made the moderators of other similar shitposting communities reconsider their approach to moderating, with new harsher, stricter methods being implemented all across the website. '''r/69MoeLester420''' was no exception.


The '''Moederators''', in their eternal wisdom, already figured out a system that was about to be implemented which would be able to deal with the exact problem the shitposting community was facing. By setting up a moderation queue, every post made by a user not trusted by the mods would be automatically removed, only being shown to others if the mods deemed it worthy of seeing the front page. It was a glorious idea, one unthought of before, yet another proud creation of the server to be remembered forever, one for the ages. With the propaganda department hard at work, there was no possibility this could have been a failure, for months the mods have been preparing themselves for this.
And brought a war to our eyes


And then came along a simple message.
Swag, oh Swag, save us from those lies.


[[File:IDGASlore.png|center|frame]]


Swag, oh Swag, by the Christmas Tree


We will sing ever so joyfully!


The gauntlet was thrown. Our honor had been besmirched and we would not stand for it. This despicable action, committed by '''r/IDONTGIVEASWAG''', was unforgivable. To steal from ''us'', the proud nation of '''MoeLester''', the thought of it disgusted us all. First, the image dumps, an incredible idea retroactively started and popularized by our great and honorable leader, stolen, repurposed as cheap entertainment for the masses over at '''r/IDONTGIVEASWAG''', left with no soul, no passion like those that were once regularly posted by '''Moe'''. Now this. The greed of '''IDGAS''' knew no end. We were left with but a single option. This meant war.
The war is over, and fear is too;


A question remained, however. How could such a piece of information even reach the hands of the enemy? We had a mole within our ranks, an imposter among us, someone we trusted dearly, yet also knew held no allegiance to our flag. '''Norman the Mormon'''. Of course, that bastard did it. It all made perfect sense. A true '''Swag Giver''' surely would have confessed their misdeed right away, yet '''Norman''' remained a hard nut to crack. Even so, it was obvious where his heart was. It was of no surprise then that this information reached the ears of the leader of '''Swag Nation''', '''Meme_Alt_Account'''. Within the hour, they joined the server. Soon enough, '''Lin''', representing '''IkeaFreshBalls''', joined the server as well.
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 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.]]

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 quickly temporarily imprisoned, with charter and koknese claiming, that they're keeping him safe from nuclear war and claiming he is in a bunker. Unbeknownst to Walter, a riot was brewing in ragecords' Swagballian politics channel, with gatesby rallying up the freaky folk and the ragecordian separatists.
 
Shortly after assembling, koknese started directing cryptic, one word messages in the main chat calling for standby of seemingly freaky users, and then immediately after the strike time began, they indeed, began striking.
 
Walter was just in time to try and stop the riot, immediately shooting koknese with a taser and disposing of him in The Pit, and the rest. The riot consisted of spamming "riot" and freaky gifs.
 
Furthermore in The Pit, koknese planned on staying silent, responding only with gifs of imprisoned Navalny, however after being asked by Walter if he prefers Novichok or a gunshot, he began speaking up.
 
A major debate sparked as the Vice Swagsident joined in The Pit. The debate was so heated that Walter even opened up the Pit for everyone to see.
[...]
After charters and kokneses' grievances were not met, koknese began threatening Walter with really serious threats, such as calling the Cockroach. Koknese had the cockroaches discord back when they wanted to film a Swagballs documentary and koknese decided to ask jewedittor for an interview.
 
Koknese also proceeded to threaten that just closing down the server won't really help, as it's common knowledge that jewedittor has alts lurking in the dark, and Koknese also revealed that over the years he has snuck over 8 accounts into the server, and that he is not afraid to give them out like candy to Jewedittors crew.

January 8 was an important day for the shitposting community at large. The shutdown of '''r/LesbianInsectBrothel''' echoed throughout the landscape, and from its ashes quickly arose new partnerships and approaches to moderation meant to stop such an event from happening again. As discussed in the previous section, '''69MoeLester420''' has not been left out and actively participated in the shifting tides that emerged after such a drastic event. Yet nothing could prepare the people of the server for what was going to transpire next.

It's just here as a template i can use


The absence of '''Moe''' throughout the history of the server may seem odd to outsiders, for why dedicate a server to a person who isn't even there to see it? It may seem like a foolish decision to most, where others would have given up, as '''Gladiux''' once suggested, turn the server away from what it originally was, the people of '''69MoeLester420''' persevered, knowing that one day their prayers would be answered, and the One would grace them with their presence. It was on this faithful day, January 8, at precisely 8:40 PM, UTC±00:00, that it would finally happen, and by God was it glorious. With '''KittenStomper6617''' and '''Moe''' both being part of the server, '''69MoeLester420''' was at its highest point yet. The place had never been this active before, a widespread celebration was held, our Savior was finally here!
The Lorem ipsum text is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum.[7][8] The physical source may have been the 1914 Loeb Classical Library edition of De finibus, where the Latin text, presented on the left-hand (even) pages, breaks off on page 34 with "Neque porro quisquam est qui do-" and continues on page 36 with "lorem ipsum ...", suggesting that the galley type of that page was mixed up to make the dummy text seen today.[1]


===The Story of Sam and Kae===
The discovery of the text's origin is attributed to Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar at Hampden–Sydney College. McClintock connected Lorem ipsum to Cicero's writing sometime before 1982 while searching for instances of the Latin word consectetur, which was rarely used in classical literature.[2] McClintock first published his discovery in a 1994 letter to the editor of Before & After magazine,[9] contesting the editor's earlier claim that Lorem ipsum held no meaning.[2]


On January 10, '''Samarm132''' joins the server, at the time a regular subreddit member just like any other. Although he wasn't known by name at that point, he was discussed previously on the server, or rather, a post of his that could be found on '''r/ihaveihaveihavereddit''', with '''Gladiux''' initiating the discussion on the declining quality of that subreddit.
==Rules==
[[File:SamForeshadowing.png|left|thumb|366x366px|A discussion of one of '''Sam'''<nowiki/>'s posts, a few weeks before he decided to join the server. At the time an insignificant event, later on it would become the prime example of divine irony, especially concerning the moderator that started the discussion, '''Gladiux'''.]]
[[File:360 monitor.png|thumb|The curved computer monitor belonging to one Samarm132, so wide in dimension that it forms a semicircle around the user, who, even with a complete turn of their head, will not be able to see both ends of it in a single glance. To those without functioning eyes, I feel deeply sorry for you, as you will never in your life see something so indescribably comical it prompted me to place it in a tangentially related wiki article.]]


Soon enough, however, it was starting to show that '''Sam''', as he will be referred to for the rest of the article, was not a complete random, as he soon revealed that he knew '''Berkabitz''', a Reddit user that was often joked about being in a relationship with '''Moe''' due to an abnormal amount of messages sent between them. This piece of information will become more relevant to the story as it approaches its end, and as such, should be kept in mind. In the beginning, it did not matter much, however, as the new user was quickly dismissed as annoying by the entirety of the mod staff. In spite of this, '''Sam''' decided to stay on the server.
=== 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.


On January 16, '''Berkabitz''', from now on referred to as '''Kae''', joined the server.
The old rules of '''SwagBalls''' were as follows:[[File:SwagBalls banner June 2023.webp|thumb|The server's banner since June 2023.]]

On the same day, '''Sam''' did a reveal of his computer monitor. This detail is not relevant to the story in any way, I just wanted to show that thing to you guys. The dimensions of it are absolutely comical. The more you look, the sillier it gets. The monitor is wider than the desk it sits on, for starters. The two edges of the screen seem to be following COVID-19 guidelines, there is a distance of 6 feet between the items and healthbar when looking at the UI. There is barely any space for that mouse, can you imagine the DPI on that thing? It is absolutely insane in every possible way and it has to be shared with the world.
It should be noted that '''Rule 16''' was not enforced at all, and ''discussion'' of piracy did not violate '''Rule 18'''.


The server quickly started being more active than it had ever been before as '''Kae''' and '''Sam''' started dominating the conversation in the server. With the '''SwagBalls moderators''' and '''Moe''' remaining active in the following days, combined with the many conversations of '''Sam''' and '''Kae''' that kept the server alive through the night, the server reached a new peak in activity, unparalleled even by the days of '''r/place'''. Before, a few dozen messages were sent a day, not terrible for a server this small, yet completely dwarfed by the amounts sent by the two. Seeing hundreds of notifications when you opened the server became the norm, not an exception, and this large and constant volume of messages would heavily influence the direction the server took in the following months.
=== 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:


[NOTES FOR THE FUTURE: change kae's name, ask for any change concerning sam's pronouns, continue the story until the end of the server, not according to chronological chapters]
==== --- FIRST DEGREE OFFENSES --- ====
A first degree offense will be met with an instant ban.


===The 9GAG conquest===
'''1.1.''' '''BIGOTRY.''' Posting bigoted content is a first degree offense.  
[[File:9GAGlore2.png|thumb|334x334px|'''Mr. Sex''' creates an account, the first of many that would be made on this faithful day, when the '''69MoeLester420''' server fell in love with 9GAG.]]
[[File:9GAGlore.png|left|thumb|The absolute terribleness of the website was apparent from the very beginning.]]
The name of 9GAG has long instilled fear in the hearts of internet users. It was like a time machine that led to a darker age, to a time when rage comics were laughed at unironically and advice animals considered peak comedy. Frozen in time, as the years passed, and social media websites rose and fell, 9GAG, despite the odds, managed to survive all this time, quite a curiosity how it hasn't gone bankrupt yet. To the rest of the internet, it was where funny went to die, a project doomed to failure, an alternative to Reddit that was inferior in every way. Yet 9GAG went on, it carved its own little niche, one which would turn away most, yet also one where the rage comic artist could find a home.


The '''moederators''', however, would not be scared so easily. On January 17, '''Mr. Sex''' would go on to install the app. A true believer in the cause, he acknowledged he wasn't being a wholesome chungus lately, and wished to set himself on the right track again by visiting the dankest site there is. And by God, it was everything we had hoped for and so much more. Everything we saw there was entirely antithetical to what comedy should look like, every single post drained our will to live little by little, the existence of such a place was so paradoxical, why would so many people willingly choose to spend their time on 9GAG of all places? It was perfect.  
'''1.2.''' '''MALWARE.''' Posting malware is a first degree offense.  


It was soon after that the other members of the server started making accounts on the website. '''Mr. Sex''' made a post on the site, but it was left largely ignored by most of the userbase. It would not be until '''Walter''' made a post<ref>Please do check out the comments, as the post can easily be found by following the link: https://9gag.com/gag/aWGj0j6?ref=android</ref> that things started to kick in. It was a massive hit, with a total of 168 downvotes soon showering the post. The comments section was incredible.
'''1.3.''' '''GORE.''' Posting IRL gore or shock content without a warning is a first degree offense.  


So much vitriol contained in only a few replies, it was stunning to watch, it was like seeing two bullhorns fighting, showing all their might, but instead of a brutal fight to the death, reaction images older than the average reader of this article were exchanged, with a few Reddit-tier comebacks mixed in as well. It was quite a sight, and the other mods soon realized they wanted in on the fun as well. '''Koonsbmw''' created an account soon after, and the conquest truly began. And soon, we would be blessed with what may as well be the greatest moment in history, one to be remembered for the ages, so hilariously great that its memory remains preserved long after the '''69MoeLester420''' server was archived.
'''1.4.''' '''PORN.''' Posting porn is a first degree offense.  
[[File:9GAGlore8.png|alt=no emojies you canser|thumb|514x514px|The greatest sentence uttered by a human being since the dawn of time.|left]]
[[File:9GAGlore6.png|thumb|393x393px|Our first ally from across the border.]]
Not everything went smoothly, however, as a wrench was thrown into our plans. The 9GAG devs, realizing that keeping the server running put on too much of a strain on the single hamster they employed for such a task, decided to place a daily limit on how much you could post, and 10 minutes had to pass before one could post or comment again. This did not stop the proud '''69MoeLester420''' army, it should be noted, as they steadily continued marching on into enemy territory. It was comforting to see that the '''69MoeLester420''' ideology started spreading even among the locals, as insults were thrown at us, we had allies.


And then the news broke. The daily upload quota has been reached. No new posts could be made for the next 24 hours. Our troops' advancement has been halted. The movement soon fizzled out. '''Walter''' remains on the site to this day, holding our ground, further progress into their territory, however, looks like a distant dream. 9GAG is a stronghold not even Reddit's dankest chungi can take over, its users, like a hivemind, valiantly respond to any form of outside aggression. 9GAG is here to stay, in spite of our efforts, just like it stood for many years before. While more raids would be attempted in the future, it was always with the knowledge that the forces 9GAG would gain the upper hand by the end. There is no winning against these "people". Whatever you may try to do, this is their territory, and they will fight for it with all their might, never surrender, only stopping fighting when the enemy is gone. It doesn't matter how many n-words have to be dropped to achieve that.
'''1.5.''' '''DOXXING.''' Doxxing ANYONE, even yourself, is a first degree offense.


=== The Human Cockroach and the Myth of Sisyphus ===
==== -- 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.


Anyone with the slightest knowledge of Greek mythology should be well aware of the myth of Sisyphus. Punished for his arrogance by the Gods, he is left with the task of pushing a boulder up a hill, with the prospect of escaping this punishment lying at the very top. Try as he might, however, as the boulder starts approaching the top of the steep hill, it rolls back to where it started, Sisyphus having made no progress at all. Yet Sisyphus does not give up. Every time the boulder rolls back, he follows, walking down to the bottom ready to start again.  
'''2.1. SPAM.''' Spamming in channels is a second degree offense. Spamming advertisements in channels is a first degree offense.  


Every good story needs a villain, and you don't make it to 50 members without making a few enemies. Most of them were your average run-of-the-mill internet assholes, saying the n-word a couple of times or being slightly annoying for a few minutes before promptly fucking off. There is, however, a single user so utterly pathetic, a life so absolutely worthless that they choose to spend the limited time they have on this Earth not only to rot in the dank pits of that gamer dungeon of theirs but to make their life's mission the mild annoyance of a few Reddit mods. A creature so devoid of any purpose in life, a tragic display of how low a human being could stoop, yet so infatuated by the smell of its own farts that it is unable for a moment to realize the worthlessness of its own existence. A pest that you can't get rid of, despite the dozens of times this user has been banned, they keep coming back, like a drug-starved addict that cannot go without their daily hit, dozens of alt accounts keep being made so they could stay on Reddit, being so reliant on the website that even a temporary withdrawal would result in a coma. The absolute definition of terminally online, this user shall remain unnamed, not for fear of retaliation, but to not provide them with a droplet of satisfaction for what they had done. Instead, they will be referred to as what they really are, a '''human cockroach''', a being with no value to anyone, one that everyone wishes was just gone, their very lack of presence making the world a better place, yet one so persistent in its aims that no matter how much you stomp on it, it keeps coming back. One must embrace the '''cockroach''' as an unchanging constant in life, just as Sisyphus may never push the boulder up the cliff, so too will this user never be truly removed. Once you embrace the fact that this insect is here to stay, you may indulge in laughter at the pitiful ways this being claws for attention.
'''2.2. VIOLENCE.''' Posting videos that contain IRL violence without a spoiler tag or warning is a second degree offense.  


On November 11, the '''cockroach''' was first banned on the '''r/69MoeLester420''' subreddit. While the specific reasons for this action were lost to time, the '''cockroach''''s username, a clear antisemitic dog whistle (or perhaps just a whistle), as well as its behavior in the following months, leaves racism as the most likely possibility. This first ban seemed to have not produced many issues, it would not be until January that things would truly start getting chaotic and our story would truly begin. It was on January 18 that the '''Cockroach''' was banned from the subreddit for a second time. The moment the gavel hit the hardwood, and the ban was dealt, the fate of the universe itself was sealed. An eternal nemesis found, one we may never get rid of, yet must keep on fighting, our own boulder to push.  
'''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.  


On January 19, both '''Walter''' and '''SlenderSmurf''' woke up to their Reddit accounts temporarily suspended. The reason? Harassment. The '''Cockroach''', the absolute human filth that it is, decided to report the modmail conversation to the Reddit admins, the low-life weasel, hitting and provoking for hours on end only to call the teacher the moment someone insults it back. The punishments, lasting 2 days and a week respectively, were served with dignity, as would be expected from Reddit mods worth their karma. It is important to note that it wasn't the length or even the existence of these bans that was insulting, but rather the fact that someone would stoop so low as to involve the '''Reddit admins''' in the situation. That is a sign of the lowest breed of man, one so pathetic and worthless, whose existence is so absolutely pointless, they would make a deal with Satan himself for temporary pleasure rather than admit defeat. It was like this that the '''moederators''' knew right away the type of person they were dealing with, yet even taking into account the racist tendencies the '''Cockroach''' put on display through their comments, nothing could prepare us for what would come next.
'''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.  


On February 13, as the encounter with the '''Cockroach''' started fading from the '''moederators'''' memories, an '''image''' got posted on the '''r/69MoeLester420''' subreddit. Not any ordinary image, as one may see from the fact that its very existence warranted an entire paragraph of text. '''The image''', featuring an uncensored, bloody penis cut in half in an incredibly unclean, gory fashion, got posted nineteen times. Nineteen. That is almost as much as 9+10. This would mark the '''First Impact'''. Such an event is especially terrible for a small subreddit, as was '''r/69MoeLester420''' at the time, not even having reached 5000 members, as such a high influx of gore content on a subreddit where the mods aren't terminally online might result in the entire subreddit being banned. The '''MoeLester Nation''' forever stays grateful to '''koonsbmw''' for being the first one on the ground and dealing with the situation in a quick and efficient fashion. Sadly, as one might expect, this was far from the only encounter with this user.
'''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.


[UNDER CONSTRUCTION]
==== - THIRD DEGREE OFFENSES - ====
February 21
A third degree offense will be met with a /warn. A user who accumulates three warnings will be sent to '''the pit''' and the mod team may discuss banning such a user.
It was soon after that a '''Second Impact''' would occur, this time on the server. '''69MoeLester420''' was under attack.


Why does Sisyphus continue pushing the boulder? One might naively assume that it is the prospect of victory that compels him. Perhaps this may have been correct the first time the boulder was pushed up, maybe even the second, tenth, ten thousandth time. Yet it would soon dawn on Sisyphus that his task is hopeless. No matter how much effort is put in, the boulder will roll right back to the bottom. A question will soon be asked, what might be the point of such a task if it will always amount to failure? The pointlessness of it may prove brutal for some, for what is the point of anything if the outcome cannot be avoided? Albert Camus offers a different perspective. One must accept the absurd that surrounds us instead of trying to find a sense of meaning where there fundamentally isn't one. Sisyphus will never reach the top of the hill. Yet he continues on. He has accepted the meaninglessness of the task, and that acceptance allows him to truly live. He does not find joy in the victory he will never achieve, only to have his hopes crushed every time his progress is set back to the beginning. Instead, he finds happiness in every step he takes along the way, opting to enjoy the life that he has rather than spending this one hoping for what he may never have. And as the boulder rolls back, he takes a sigh of relief knowing he can take a break from his work, before going down to start the cycle once more. The joy comes from the task itself, not the reward that might await him, for as gruelling as it all is, in the end, this boulder is his and his alone, and nothing can take that away from him. He finds meaning in living itself, no matter how pointless it may seem, for even so, his life, torturous as it may seem, is as valuable as anyone else's. In some sense, the '''Cockroach''' does the same. It is aware it will never win. So many times it has been banned instantly, yet it keeps on trying. It is the modern Sisyphus, determined to continue carrying on its endless task, as hopeless as it may seem. It does not care for the prospect of victory any more. Instead, it finds joy in every n-word it drops, every dead child it posts. It is not the final goal that matters to it anymore, it knows more than well nothing will come out of its little stunts, it is the very process of annoying the mods that gives the '''Cockroach''' life. It is the journey that matters, not the destination. One must imagine the '''Cockroach''' happy.
'''3.1. 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.  


===The End of KittenStomper6617===
'''3.2. 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.


On December 21, 2022, ''Puss in Boots: The Last Wish'' is released in theatres. Audiences from across the globe go wild. Considered by many to be one of the greatest pieces of animation from this past decade, it has received widespread acclaim and attention even from those that do not watch animated movies regularly. It became one of the most talked-about movies of the year, and it was no wonder that the discussion reached '''69MoeLester420''' as well. An unfortunate and unforeseen consequence of the conversations held about it was the self-imposed exile of the head moderator '''KittenStomper6617'''.
'''3.3. PIRACY.''' Sharing pirated material is a third degree offense, and the material in question will be deleted.


The day was January 20. '''KittenStomper6617''' had, by that time, become an integral part of the server. Although he did not care about moderating at all, he was considered a part of the '''MoeLester family'''. It is no wonder that the '''Puss in Boots incident''' caused so much devastation to the community. It is a piece of drama that could have easily been avoided, yet snowballed to colossal proportions. Most of the '''moederators''' would like to leave this chapter behind and forever forget about it, not in the same way as with the soon to be mentioned '''Gladiux''' situation, but rather in the sense that it just sucks that it happened, with no contempt being held as much as the wish to leave the person behind and move on.
'''3.4. POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS.''' Discussing politics is a third degree offense. For the purposes of this rule, "political" discussions are those in which participants voice opinions about how society ought to progress, or what ought to be done about a socio-economic issue.


The offending message may have gone completely unnoticed in most internet spaces, yet '''Gladiux''', for all his faults, rightfully took issue with the message. Although we all held some form of respect for '''KittenStomper6617''', it was an undeniable fact that, once the proper context of the contents of the message settled in, this post was incredibly weird and pretty fucked up to share. Although '''KittenStomper6617''' quickly tried to explain that he was talking about the voice of Puss, provided by Antonio Banderas, rather than his physical appearance. This did not satiate '''Gladiux''', who, now with '''Gio''' by his side, continued with the attack by stating that even if that was what he meant, he shouldn't have worded it in that way. Ending the conversation by temporarily muting '''KittenStomper6617''', he was nonetheless ready to forget about the entire situation as long as it didn't turn out to be a reoccurring issue.
'''3.5. ADVERTISING.''' Advertising discord servers or commercial products is a third degree offense. Advertising scams/NFTs/cryptocurrency is a first degree offense.  


It was then that things turned from weird to almost comically absurd. While people were ready to keep this incident in the past and forget about it, '''KittenStomper6617''' couldn't help but repeatedly bring attention to it during the following hours. Bringing up the issue in a sarcastic manner in his DMs with '''Gladiux''' didn't do him any favors, as claiming evil spirits possessed him in a situation like this meant the slightest amount of respect '''Gladiux''' still held for '''KittenStomper6617''' was starting to slip away. Soon came the question of whether he was even being ironic, as when the conversation resurfaced mere hours later in #general, he claimed to have looked back on the conversation and wondered if he was possessed when he had written stuff like this. While obviously done jokingly, some of the mods, once again led by '''Gladiux''', believed that this was a clear manipulation attempt meant to strike pity, while also shifting blame on some abstract entity in the past as opposed to the current him. It was on par with a Youtube apology video. The mods weren't buying it.
'''3.6. FEMBOYS.''' Discussion of femboys is a third degree offense. This includes posting boykisser.


It was not long after that '''KittenStomper6617''' left the server. As far as anyone is aware, he hasn't stayed in contact with the other mods. The whole fiasco left everyone with a lot of mixed feelings about the entire thing. While it was agreed that what he did was bad, the '''moederators''' were left wondering whether they had gone too hard on him. No matter our feelings about him, nothing can change what went down on that day, the relationship with him permanently ruined, '''KittenStomper6617''' becoming another lost '''moederator''' in the list of many, additionally soured by the fact that he was the original creator of the subreddit. With yet another chapter of the server's history closed, the turbulent ride is nearing its end.
'''3.7. BE SERIOUS.''' Shitposting oe otherwise joking in ⁠serious-discussions-1 is a third degree offense. Repeat offenders will be thrown into the pit.


===The Gladiux Saga: Part One===
'''3.8. NO HOMESTUCK.''' The original sin will not be mentioned by name. Any offending post will be deleted off the face of the earth.


It was always quite clear that '''Gladiux''' was a dick. There is no going around it. From the very beginning of the server, if someone was to be leading the charge against whichever '''moederator''' happened to slip up at the time, it was '''Gladiux''', with '''Gio''' by his side, hurling insults and aggressively making fun of them until they willfully left on their own. For a long time, this behavior was tolerated, while clearly toxic, it was always directed at people the members of the server took issue with anyways, and as pointlessly mean those comments were in retrospect, at the time, it wasn't taken as an issue. But when the mod drama died down and '''Gladiux''' had to find a new target, things turned for the worse for him.
== Ongoing Campaigns ==
<code>THIS SECTION OF THE ARTICLE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.</code>


As mentioned previously, by this point in time, the server was, for the most part, dedicated only to conversations between '''Sam''' and '''Kae''', who have
=== SwagCraft ===
'''Gladiux''' was not a fan of this
==== SwagCraft Legacy ====
How funny is it being the butt of the joke? Not much, according to '''Sam''', who had gotten quite annoyed by '''Gladiux''''s behavior by then
'''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.


As it was obvious that the joke was being taken too far
'''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>

'''Walter''', deciding not to cause any drama, God knows there had already been far too much in the past of this server, politely asked for him to stop and tone it down a notch
as it was obvious the new users started to fucking hate us


Of course, we all know where this conversation actually led to. Had he listened to it, there would have been no point in writing this section.
=== OPERATION 9SWAG <ref group="editor's note">thinking of giving all the ongoing campaigns a military operation name - '''Walt'''</ref> ===


On February 9, after '''Sam''' had repeatedly been kicked out, '''Walter''' received DMs from both him and '''Kae''' asking for '''Gladiux''''s removal. In the back of his mind, '''Walter''' had already considered '''Gladiux''' to be
<div style="text-align: center;">
You've heard of the '''9GAG''' app. <br>


The only issue was that, although '''Walter''' was the server '''Owner''' at the time, '''Gladiux''' was higher in the '''r/69MoeLester420''' hierarchy. This meant that even if '''Walter''' had stripped '''Gladiux''' of all his mod duties on the server, nothing stopped him from doing the same to '''Walter''' on the subreddit. And to a Reddit mod, there is nothing more terrifying than that. The mods needed divine intervention, and thankfully, '''Moe''' was ready to help. While the conversation on the server continued as normally, behind the scenes, in the shadows, a conspiracy was starting to form and be taken into action. On the subreddit, both '''Gladiux''' and '''Gio''', his loyal partner in crime, got all their moderating permissions taken away. They did not get completely demodded, however, allowing them to keep their place in the mod hierarchy should things change in the future. On the server, meanwhile, '''Walter''' removed their '''moewner''' roles, before finally announcing it to the server. It was the perfect crime.
We all have, the '''legend''', the '''curses'''. <br>
[[File:GladLore1.png|center|frame|The announcement that brought about the first exile of '''Gladiux.''']]
Foolishness about it lying on '''the second page of Google''', buried beneath '''Reddit posts'''. <br>
A dark, decrepit monument leading '''dank memers''' to their doom.<br>


The '''Internet''''s most famous memes and image macros were invited to its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9gag#History '''Grand Opening''']. <br>
An invitation was a sign of... exclusiveness. <br>
The '''Opening''' was supposed to symbolize a road to a brighter future, not just for the world...<br>
... but for all who scrolled through its posts.<br>
A chance for anyone to '''meme again'''. <br>


[[File:GladLore2.png|left|thumb|'''Gladiux''' announcing he would ban '''Walter''' after having his '''moewner''' role taken away.]]
Except - '''9GAG''' never flourished. <br>
It wasn't long before '''Gladiux''' had realized what had happened. The response was pretty much what we had expected. The first thing he mentioned was how he wanted to demod '''Walter''', thankfully, however, '''Moe''' had made sure that would not be possible. '''Gio''' immediately started complaining about how he was punished for nothing, even though the reason for him losing the '''moewner''' role was the unstopping encouragement of '''Gladiux''''s behavior at every turn, which all active members of the server could attest to. While he wasn't the one dealing out time-outs and kicks, not only had he done nothing to stop it, but actively cheered it on. '''Gladiux''' got kicked out from the server by '''Kae''', while '''Gio''' remained disgraced, from now on as '''moederator''' instead of '''moewner'''.
Its culture got frozen in time, like a big flashbulb going off.<br>
The '''Grand Opening''' - one big ending of hilarity.<br>


It's still out there, on '''Google Play''', preserved, just waiting for someone to crack it open. <br>
But getting to it. That's not the hard part.<br>
'''It's letting go.'''<br> </div>


The existence of '''9GAG''' has long been known to many. Created in 2008 by '''Hong Kong''' entrepreneur '''Ray Chan''', it has for years been mocked for its style of humor, with the site's userbase seemingly permanently stuck in the year 2012, its culture never evolving past it as was custom among the other corners of the internet. Furthering their notoriety was the world-famous [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/9gags-meme-monument '''9GAG Meme Rock'''], which to this day strikes cringe in the hearts of even the most unflinching souls. Yet how many had dared open the website for themselves?


Here's the funny part. Do you notice those four 👆 reactions under the message? People were approving massively of this decision, even though '''Gladiux''''s behavior was like this since the very beginning of the server. It's just that no one had spoken up about it. We all wanted him gone but were afraid to tell him all this time for whatever reason. To avoid drama, to not have us kicked out from the subreddit, or most likely, not knowing how much the others on the server shared our feelings about him. It wasn't before we were certain there was a significant amount of people that hated him that we even thought about removing his role. And it all goes back to that at the time harmless decision to give him the '''moewner''' role all those months back. He was granted authority he never deserved and asserted it through his aggressive behavior during the past few months. No one could have demodded him on their own, it was only when the people of the server united that anything could have been done.
The answer, surprisingly, is very few. Though it had remained in plain view for many years, its existence was thoroughly ignored for the large part by the general public. It was not until the '''mod team''' of [[69MoeLester420#The_9GAG_conquest|69MoeLester420]] jokingly created accounts for the website in January 2023 that its secrets would finally be unveiled. What they discovered was a website so horrid, so appalling, yet so endlessly fascinating it had remained their obsession for many months afterwards. It was all it was described as and more, an endless stream of racist content presented in formats that had gone out of fashion a decade prior, lacking any and all self-awareness, combined with a userbase in their 30s so mentally dense it is surprising they haven't collapsed into a black hole.  


NOTE: CHECK DATE WHEN MR. SEX LEFT THE SERVER AND GRANTED OWNERSHIP TO WALTER
Any post, no matter how obviously satirical, passes as genuine in the eyes of a '''9GAGGER''', to the point where one has to question their own sanity, weighing whether their mannerisms are all part of a conspiratorial ploy, for there was no possible way a functioning human being could get that irrationally mad over such obvious bait. A '''Tony Zaret''' skit come to life, it is of no surprise that the '''mod team''' started pushing the limits of what they'll fall for, always managing to attain a successful result.


Come the '''SwagBalls-69MoeLester420 Merge''', the knowledge of what was found on '''9GAG''' was suddenly shared with an audience of hundreds. Though it has largely fallen out of fashion, trolling on '''9GAG''' had become a staple hobby of '''69SwagBalls420''' when it was first introduced. With dozens, if not hundreds of posts shared, a large dataset has been created showing many successes and failures that may enable the development of more sophisticated trolling methods in the future.

===Built By Gamers===
The reddit wojak vore incident
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.

69SwagBalls420, also known as "SwagBalls", or "SwagCord", is a moderately sized irony Discord server. It is the official server for the meme/shitposting subreddits r/69Moelester420, r/IDONTGIVEASWAG, r/IkeaFreshBalls and r/█████████████.[1] Its name is a combination of the names of the first three subreddits, in addition to the now-defunct Discord server █████ ███.

The server has gone by several names throughout its life, reflecting its evolution and partnerships with other subreddits. These include:

  • the internet shithole (February 3 - May 20, 2022)
  • IDONTGIVEASWAG (May 20 - June 5, 2022)
  • r/IDONTGIVEASWAG (June 5 - August 30, 2022)
  • IDGAS (August 30 - September 14, 2022)
  • IDGAS/IKEAFRESHBALLS (September 14 - October 3, 2022)
  • Swag Balls Cord (October 3, 2022 - March 30, 2023)
  • 69SwagBalls420 Cord (March 30, 2023 - December 26th, 2023)

History

Template:Stub

The Birth of girard

girard'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 Age of Decline

The Butthole Bandit

Disaster strikes when one least expects it. On September 17, Lin rejoined the server after a short absence[editor's note 3], surprised to see how much the server has grown over the course of a single day, attributed to Sam's recent server promotion on the r/IkeaFreshBalls subreddit. The conversation otherwise unremarkable, chaos ensued as attention quickly 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[2], 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.

Ozzy enters the criminal's den, where the organization quickly admits to its crimes.

Bazinga would soon get a confirmed hit.[3] A small glimpse was all that was needed. "bax something". The name rings a bell in Walter'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.

A creature of chaos, the Butthole Bandit'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.

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[editor's note 4] Tweaker Strike Force involvement was floated around, the Bandit was ultimately to be taken down like 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 [editor's note 5]

girard'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[note 1] 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'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 being rediscovered. No longer deemed an "other", he had risen to the level of a regular server member, no different from a human being.[4] Comfortably passing the Turing test with a scarily accurate performance, far beyond what would be reproducible through pure randomness, soon, he had become an inseparable part of the SwagCord family, as it was deemed unethical to treat him as below human.

The Chained God

It was becoming increasingly clear that girard'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.[5] 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,[note 2] deemed unlikely, and thrown out in favor of far more serious crimes such as ███████████████████████.[note 3] 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.[6] 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.[7] 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[8] and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs,[9] 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.[10][11] Most importantly, president Xi hinted at the possibility that China is willing to send more pandas to American zoos.[10][12]

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'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.[13] However, the ringleader has always evaded them. It is not Klaus Schwab who is pulling the strings. 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 Macromaniac Wars

The Prophecy

'PANDORA IS GIRARDT[14]

Girard
girard calls back to his prophecy on November 24, strengthening the belief that thermonuclear war would take place on December 8.

The man of metal speaks in riddles. 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'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.[editor's note 6]

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[note 4] 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[editor's note 7], being executed by an unknown staff member that we do not know the name of[editor's note 8]. They soon escalated as Koknese started rallying up popular support and asking mods to give him his role back, which was met by suppression[editor's note 9] 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"[editor's note 10], etc.

Armed forces and popular support against the rebellion were quickly mobilized,[15] 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.

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.

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.

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.[16] 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's weapon trigger had jammed and continued firing.[15] 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.

Operation Soft Grey Morning

The Divorce

Koknese attempts to recruit Walter into the third way movement.
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's 9GAG husband, along with him. Taking a stand against Walter'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'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:

  1. The unjustified and discriminatory change of "@member" to "@greenie👎"
  2. the revocation of Gold to those who’ve rightly Earned
  3. The Imprisonment of his Excellence Girard
  4. The people are not permitted to take part in Family Guy Roleplay
  5. 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[note 5] and Blues,[note 6] is when the Greens and Golds stand in mass Solidarity.
  6. Choices are hardly ever Democratically made
  7. many times a Member who is not Breaking any rules is unfairly Punished merely because they did something out of the mod’s Preference
  8. 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.
  9. Some rules are unnecessary and should be removed, namely rule 16[note 7] and 17[note 8].
  10. The Pit is used excessively by moderators as a form of punishment. [sic]

The War...

The Trial of Charter

Shortly after the war, Charter was pitted and put on trial for allegedly[editor's note 11] sending rape jokes. Spanning multiple weeks, the trial was held in discord an even in an actual virtual courtroom. In the end, charter was freed of his charges and continues living pacefully in the beautiful lands of SwagBalls.

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' 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'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[17], 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.

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.

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:

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!

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.[18][note 9]

The █████ ███ Merge

The Demotion of Devil

⚠ ATTENTION! ⚠
This message is being brought to you by the 69SwagBalls420 Ministry of Truth. The contents of this document have been partially DECLASSIFIED for your convenience. However, due to the sensitive information present in this document, and in order not to bring about any potential harassment, most of its details have been REDACTED before publishing. The names of most of the people involved remain STRICTLY CLASSIFIED.

Glory to Meme_Alt_Account! Long live Swag Nation!

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[note 11] 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[note 12] 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 "█████████████"[note 13] 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'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

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

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[20] 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.

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".[21] 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 (SSP), with the stated mission of eradicating political discussion, having fun, and doing stuff.[22] Soon after, Charter decided to open an opposing party, the SwagBalls Booru Party (SBBP), 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 (SSBP).

Vowing to fight against perceived injustice placed on the server by the new, unpopular rules, the SSBP posted a political manifesto,[23] intending on spreading the message of fighting for the right to, among others, say KYS ironically[note 16] 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 SSBP 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

While the radicalism of the SSBP 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 (DPoS), the name was soon changed to the SwagBalls Democratic Party (SDP) with the release of its manifesto,[24] 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.

The SDP was soon joined by The Best Party, Which I Fully Support (TBPWIFS), 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, TBPWIFS 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.[25]

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.[26] Set to be held on March 17, they would be preceded by two debates between the candidates.

Snowball Effect

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 (LPDF), 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 LPDF 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 SDP, the main difference between the two was that Lin was the one to be placed in power.[27]

The Swag and Security Party (SASP), 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 SASP party's integrity in any way.

The Firetamers United Nation (FUN), started by Barley, got its name from its dedication to the fight against FIRE (Fights, Insults, and Reckless Evils), 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 LPDF, 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 SSBP, the SDP and the LPDF, having formed the SSU coalition (SwagBalls Shartyist Union), soon renamed to the LSSU (Lininist SwagBalls Shartyist Union), minutes prior to the debate,[28] 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, LSSU 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 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"[29] , Lin, the leader of the LPDF, split off from the LSSU minutes into the debate after hearing the answer, standing firmly pro-Homestuck. Charter, claiming that the SSBP had been bastardized by Koknese's radical beliefs[30] left the coalition as well. The LSSU coalition completely fell apart within 10 minutes of the debate starting.

Yeetmaster, an SSBP 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 LSSU, 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

Widely believed to be one of the worst campaign blunders in the history of elections, the SSBP never fully recovered from the political fallout birthed from Koknese's anti-Homestuck comments. While most of the former SSBP electorate had switched to the newly formed LSSU, without the SSBP, 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 racist past, the radical beliefs of the SSBP continued to turn off voters.

Yeetmaster, not wishing to associate with the SSBP 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 SSBP base.

Charter, the elected leader of the reformed LSSU, 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[note 17] to protect the right to tell others to kill themselves.

The debates concluded in high spirits with a beautiful message from Big Brother,[note 18] 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.[31] 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, TBPWIFS, 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

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[32] 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

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.

On a chilly evening in Eastern Europe, something suspicious was going on in Ragecord. The SwagBalls ambassador and leader, Walter was quickly temporarily imprisoned, with charter and koknese claiming, that they're keeping him safe from nuclear war and claiming he is in a bunker. Unbeknownst to Walter, a riot was brewing in ragecords' Swagballian politics channel, with gatesby rallying up the freaky folk and the ragecordian separatists.

Shortly after assembling, koknese started directing cryptic, one word messages in the main chat calling for standby of seemingly freaky users, and then immediately after the strike time began, they indeed, began striking.

Walter was just in time to try and stop the riot, immediately shooting koknese with a taser and disposing of him in The Pit, and the rest. The riot consisted of spamming "riot" and freaky gifs.

Furthermore in The Pit, koknese planned on staying silent, responding only with gifs of imprisoned Navalny, however after being asked by Walter if he prefers Novichok or a gunshot, he began speaking up.

A major debate sparked as the Vice Swagsident joined in The Pit. The debate was so heated that Walter even opened up the Pit for everyone to see. [...] After charters and kokneses' grievances were not met, koknese began threatening Walter with really serious threats, such as calling the Cockroach. Koknese had the cockroaches discord back when they wanted to film a Swagballs documentary and koknese decided to ask jewedittor for an interview.

Koknese also proceeded to threaten that just closing down the server won't really help, as it's common knowledge that jewedittor has alts lurking in the dark, and Koknese also revealed that over the years he has snuck over 8 accounts into the server, and that he is not afraid to give them out like candy to Jewedittors crew.

This text is only here so the infobox doesn't mess with the sections below

lalalalalala

words words words words words

this won't be party of the final article

the one that will posted on the official swagballs page [editor's note 15]

It's just here as a template i can use

The Lorem ipsum text is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum.[7][8] The physical source may have been the 1914 Loeb Classical Library edition of De finibus, where the Latin text, presented on the left-hand (even) pages, breaks off on page 34 with "Neque porro quisquam est qui do-" and continues on page 36 with "lorem ipsum ...", suggesting that the galley type of that page was mixed up to make the dummy text seen today.[1]

The discovery of the text's origin is attributed to Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar at Hampden–Sydney College. McClintock connected Lorem ipsum to Cicero's writing sometime before 1982 while searching for instances of the Latin word consectetur, which was rarely used in classical literature.[2] McClintock first published his discovery in a 1994 letter to the editor of Before & After magazine,[9] contesting the editor's earlier claim that Lorem ipsum held no meaning.[2]

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:

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:

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.[33]

OPERATION 9SWAG [editor's note 16]

You've heard of the 9GAG app.

We all have, the legend, the curses.
Foolishness about it lying on the second page of Google, buried beneath Reddit posts.
A dark, decrepit monument leading dank memers to their doom.

The Internet's most famous memes and image macros were invited to its Grand Opening.
An invitation was a sign of... exclusiveness.
The Opening was supposed to symbolize a road to a brighter future, not just for the world...
... but for all who scrolled through its posts.
A chance for anyone to meme again.

Except - 9GAG never flourished.
Its culture got frozen in time, like a big flashbulb going off.
The Grand Opening - one big ending of hilarity.

It's still out there, on Google Play, preserved, just waiting for someone to crack it open.
But getting to it. That's not the hard part.

It's letting go.

The existence of 9GAG has long been known to many. Created in 2008 by Hong Kong entrepreneur Ray Chan, it has for years been mocked for its style of humor, with the site's userbase seemingly permanently stuck in the year 2012, its culture never evolving past it as was custom among the other corners of the internet. Furthering their notoriety was the world-famous 9GAG Meme Rock, which to this day strikes cringe in the hearts of even the most unflinching souls. Yet how many had dared open the website for themselves?

The answer, surprisingly, is very few. Though it had remained in plain view for many years, its existence was thoroughly ignored for the large part by the general public. It was not until the mod team of 69MoeLester420 jokingly created accounts for the website in January 2023 that its secrets would finally be unveiled. What they discovered was a website so horrid, so appalling, yet so endlessly fascinating it had remained their obsession for many months afterwards. It was all it was described as and more, an endless stream of racist content presented in formats that had gone out of fashion a decade prior, lacking any and all self-awareness, combined with a userbase in their 30s so mentally dense it is surprising they haven't collapsed into a black hole.

Any post, no matter how obviously satirical, passes as genuine in the eyes of a 9GAGGER, to the point where one has to question their own sanity, weighing whether their mannerisms are all part of a conspiratorial ploy, for there was no possible way a functioning human being could get that irrationally mad over such obvious bait. A Tony Zaret skit come to life, it is of no surprise that the mod team started pushing the limits of what they'll fall for, always managing to attain a successful result.

Come the SwagBalls-69MoeLester420 Merge, the knowledge of what was found on 9GAG was suddenly shared with an audience of hundreds. Though it has largely fallen out of fashion, trolling on 9GAG had become a staple hobby of 69SwagBalls420 when it was first introduced. With dozens, if not hundreds of posts shared, a large dataset has been created showing many successes and failures that may enable the development of more sophisticated trolling methods in the future.

The table below contains information on "successful" 9GAG posts: those that reached at least 100 downvotes or 25 comments. This resource should be used to determine more effective trolling strategies.

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 Marcomannic Wars, first uttered by Decoherence,[34] that subsequently entered popular use.
  • The War... would most likely not happen if not for an unknown[editor's note 20] mod removing Charter's Soyjak Gold.

Notes

  1. Short for Megatron.
  2. Girard is a self-proclaimed conservative libertarian and a strong supporter of Ronald Reagan.
  3. Again, he is a libertarian.
  4. And yet, after what was done to girard, could any SwagBaller be considered innocent?
  5. Moderators.
  6. Admins.
  7. There will be absolutely no venting on this server anywhere. #⁠serious-discussion will only be for discussions.
  8. The main language of this server is English. So please, only speak in english.
  9. Due to 9GAG's limits on aspect ratios, the artwork was surrounded by some of the greatest comments found on the website during the past year.
  10. 10.0 10.1 Previously known as koonsbmw.
  11. Or fortunately, depending on one's viewpoint.
  12. If someone genuinely tells you that your jokes make them uncomfortable, no matter how ironic, you should stop making them immediately.
  13. A direct reference to his Reddit username, u/████████████████, combined with the term "Orwellian", referring to the work of novelist George Orwell.
  14. Representing 1.9% of the total population.
  15. A coalition between the SwagBalls Democratic Party and the Lininist Party for Democracy and Freedom.

  19. Including Charter, who ran as a non-partisan representative of the LSSU.
  20. Due to a lack of voter activity, this has been shortened to 27 hours.
  21. 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.
  22. ENCOURAGING SUICIDE OR SELF-HARM. Encouraging suicide or self-harm, even telling people to "kys" as a joke, is a second degree offense.
  23. 23.0 23.1 HARRASSMENT. Ongoing harassment of any user is a second degree offense and may be met with a ban after review by the mod team.
  24. Harassment has been redefined to include only serious cases, such as online stalking, spamming DMs and continued insults that go beyond the usual server banter.
  25. BIGOTRY. Posting bigoted content is a first degree offense.
  26. As votes were anonymous as part of the closed-ballot election, it is unlikely this promise will ever come to fruition.

Editor's Notes (remove this later)

  1. find girard's original aliases, apparently was called hitler at first
  2. https://discord.com/channels/936042159998631976/936407183304822795/1214675991256104970 start here - Walt
  3. Missing Context.
  4. need a section on methcord, maybe in ongoing campaigns - Walt
  5. 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
  6. add note about references from Vibe and others about the War... many months prior to the event - Walt
  7. 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.
  8. At this point I'm just leaving these as a reminder for myself. -Walt
  9. Honestly can't remember, did we remove people's messages or is this just the usual literally 1984? -Walt
  10. 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
  11. the word "allegedly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. it happened. -Walt
  12. 12.0 12.1 12.2 Missing story.
  13. Link should lead to the SwagBalls wiki, not Walter's user page
  14. Link should lead to the SwagBalls wiki, not Walter's user page
  15. remove all of this later pls thx - Walt
  16. thinking of giving all the ongoing campaigns a military operation name - Walt
  17. NEEDED: negative counterexamples of posts that haven't performed well at all for discernably no reason. Survivorship bias must be avoided in order to fully know how to exploit the app's algorithm
  18. expand upon these later
  19. Move the 9gag Divorce here? or maybe keep both as part of main article
  20. Walt here, I'll try to find which one exactly did this.

the @everyone incident that wasn't -> trivia note? discovered by testicle in #girards-torture-chamber [citation needed], date unknown - green roles were given @everyone perms, audit logs don't go far back enough to say who made the change, left undiscovered for weeks or possibly months
