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.

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.

+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.

 ==== 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.

+notes:
+overwhelming belief amongst the revolutionaries that LarkCuavian had anything more than figurehead powers
+threat of a cockroach invasion (koknese)
+possible koknese alts (10) in the server---->
+On a chilly evening in Eastern Europe, something suspicious was going on in '''Ragecord'''. The '''SwagBalls''' ambassador and leader, '''Walter''' was forcefully thrown into a bunker under the pretenses of '''Charter''' and '''Koknese''' keeping him safe from nuclear war. In truth, a riot was brewing in '''Ragecord''''s '''SwagBallian''' politics channel, as '''Koknese''' started rallying up the '''𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓈''' and the '''Ragecordian''' separatists.
+Shortly after assembling in '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜''', '''Koknese''' started directing cryptic, single-word messages in the chat calling for standby, before at once releasing a crowd of 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓈 on the server, spamming messages and 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓎 GIFs in support of the riot. Yet mere moments later, the rebellion was quelled, as '''Walter''' emerged from the bunker just in time to stop the riot, immediately shooting '''Koknese''' with a taser and disposing of him in '''The Pit''', with the rest soon following.
+Despite the '''Ragecord''' leadership being convinced in the success of their plan, it's swift failure indicated foul play. A leak had occurred. One of the '''Ragecordian 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓈''', '''Joff_e''', had contacted '''Walter''' hours before in private to warn him of the incoming rebellion. When he was thrown into the bunker, he had already taken notice of the '''Ragecordian''' plans, allowing for a quick and immediate response to the revolt. Thrown into '''The Pit''', the '''Ragecordians''' awaited punishment.
+Originally planning on staying silent, '''Koknese''' responded only with GIFs of an imprisoned '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei%20Navalny Navalny]''', however, after being taunted by Walter by asking if he preferred to die by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novichok Novichok] or a gunshot, he began speaking up, as did the rest of the '''Pit Dwellers'''. Giving them a choice, '''Walter''' the rebels freedom in exchange for a pledge of undying loyalty to '''SwagCord'''. '''Chauka''' immediately took the offer and was freed from '''The Pit'''. '''Koknese''', '''Charter''' and '''Peace''', who had recently returned to the server, now standing to advocate for 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀 rights, would not accept the terms, instead speaking out about their grievances with the server, primarily concerning the election of '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' as '''Vice-Swagsident''', demanding his immediate resignation in exchange for the end of the coup.
+As it became increasingly clear that '''Charter''''s and '''Koknese''''s grievances would not be met through words alone, '''Koknese''' began threatening '''Walter''' with more serious threats, mentioning the presence of up to 10 alt accounts he had managed to sneak into the server over the months he could use to spam the server. The threats continued increasing in scope, and eventually included calling '''the Cockroach'''. Having performed an interview with him recently as part of an abandoned '''SwagCord documentary''', '''Koknese''' had the ability to potentially contact the subhuman creature, and supply it with the aforementioned alt accounts. '''Walter''' did not back down in face of the threats, calling out the bluff. '''The Cockroach''' was ultimately not called upon.
+In order to enable the enjoyment of the incredible nature of the conversation, '''The Pit''' was opened for the entire server to see. Upon personal request, a major debate sparked as '''Vice-Swagsident LarKcuavian''' decided to enter '''The Pit'''. As the conversation got more heated with his appearance, the ensuing conversation revealed major contrasts between public perception of the powers of the '''Vice-Swagsident''' and reality, with a prevalent belief amongst the rebels that the '''Vice-Swagsident''' had anything more than ceremonial powers, at one point hilariously calling for making '''LarKcuavian''' a figurehead leader in exchange for ending the rebellion, unknowingly simply upholding the status quo. 74 minutes after the users were thrown into '''The Pit''', they were released, with no major change affecting the server.
+With the rebellion resulting in failure, '''Joff_e''' was executed for treason by the '''Ragecord''' mod team and banned from the server. He would later be brought back by koknese in exchange for several '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision%20Song%20Contest%202024 2024 Eurovision]''' votes for the latvian candidate Dons.

+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?
+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.
+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.
