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.

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.

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

The protests all began from a single member, '''Charter''', losing his '''Soyjak Gold''' role for an ''unknown reason''<ref group="editor's note">'''Walter''' here, I'll try to find the specific reason, you will be satisfied with '''3rd degree chuddery''' in the meantime.

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 greatest kind of leader is one who does not wish to even be one. '''Xertun''''s performance during the debate has been credited by many to have been the sole reason for such a strong showing during voting night. Had he not been in the race, it is expected that his seat would have gone to '''Dainis''', allowing for total NSP control of the '''Senate'''. Instead, an air of incompetent cluelessness runs through the '''Senate''' halls, and '''Xertun''''s approval ratings could not be higher.

=== The July ~~Elections~~ (~~Template~~) ===

==== Background ====

==== Debate ====

The '''Presidential Debate''' was organized and moderated by '''Decoherence''' in the '''#🤓-debate-channel''' on Saturday night, a few hours before voting was set to start. Although only candidates that received the support of at least two users were invited to the debate, possibly eliminating up to four candidates at the time, '''Lin''' giving support to all minor candidates and dropping out of the race herself enabled everyone to attend. '''Boris Chico''' and '''Ballistyx''', of the SDC and the CPoS respectively, had also chosen to support each others campaign in order to help each other get into the debate, with both eventually coalescing together under the CPoS.

[[File:XertunCat.jpg|left|thumb|224x224px|'''Xertun'''<nowiki/>'s cat, posted in the middle of the debate. The cat is walking behind a couch.]]

In classic debate night fashion, hi-jinks soon ensued. Although supposed to go first, '''Meme_Alt_Account''' was allegedly drunk at the time and forgot to attend the debate, leading to '''Lin''' stepping in their place and giving answers on behalf of DG. '''Xertun''', on the other hand, not only thought the debate was an entire day later, but was also convinced it was a '''Senatorial''' debate, not a '''Presidential''' one, a story made even more tragic by the fact that he had plans to prepare for this one in advance. '''Flaming Testicle (left)''' was late, however, '''Walter''' covered for him in his absence, and it is believed not a single person noticed. During all of this, '''Decoherence''' forgot to give out the talking pillow several times, leading to minutes of silence on air. All in all, the start of the debate was deemed a major success.

[[File:XertunCat3.jpg|left|thumb|272x272px|'''Xertun'''<nowiki/>'s cat stretching out. A fierce hunter ready to pounce.]]

Electoral questions rolled as candidates, when they were present, answered them with their plans on how to make the server a better place for all through achieving their vision for the server. How will community volunteer work be encouraged, '''Barley''' was inquired; how will Peters be drawn, '''Testicle''' was asked; why did several suspected alt accounts join to vote for you in the election, '''Dainis''' was questioned.

The jig was up. The conversation shifted from a sloppy electoral debate to a televised trial, live on air. Providing a list of several accounts that have sprung up from inactivity to suddenly proclaim their loyalty to the NSP, a scheme of electoral meddling was suddenly revealed for the world to see. Six accounts, registered to vote, with credible ties to '''Ragecord''' and the NSP campaign were unveiled. A string of accounts, joining the voter registry in quick succession. '''Dainis''' would state that he only recognized a single one.

[[File:XertunCat2.jpg|left|thumb|158x158px|'''Xertun'''<nowiki/>'s cat, holding an apple. A dragon guarding its treasure.]]

Claiming a psy-op was at work, a set-up to have him framed and disqualified, '''Dainis''' continued to deny these accusations to the bitter end. It was to no use. The '''mods''' possessed a mountain of compounding evidence. For the high crime of attempted electoral fraud and perjury, '''Walter''' disqualified '''Dainis''' from the presidential race live on stage. <ref> '''Walter''' (July 13, 2024) [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1217576340748767363/1261763893752234035 For the high crime of attempted election fraud and subsequent perjury, Dainis of the NSP has been disqualified from the race.] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🤓-debate-channel''' </ref>

The debate soon ended, and the polls were opened. '''The Senate''' tried to overturn '''Dainis''''s disqualification, repeating '''Dainis''''s claims of a criminal framing to be at work, to no use. Their motion was struck down and vetoed. Although '''Senator Charter''' (NSP) claimed that the veto was an undemocratic use of power by the mod team, an attempted attack on the very essence of the server's democracy was just foiled, an act that was attempted to be overturned. The presidential ballot, with its first disqualification in '''SwagBalls''' history, remained without '''Dainis'''.

==== Election Fraud ====

*record scratch*

You are probably wondering how the NSP got itself into this situation. To find out that, we have to go back. Way back.

On July 6, at the very start of the election campaign period, '''Walter''' received a private message. It was from '''Chauka''', and carried troubling news. The citizens of '''Ragecord''', responsible for the failed coup in May, were at it again, once more trying to subvert '''SwagBallian''' democracy. Realizing that a loud and bombastic route was no way to go, a more sinister scheme was being plotted - election fraud. In an election as small as this one, even a few votes are enough to sway the results, and according to the intelligence received, several alt accounts were to be used in order to manipulate the results in the NSP's favor. The login information of one of the accounts was provided, through which it was verified the threat was to be considered legitimate.

Several days pass. '''Dainis''' joins '''Ragecord''', only to disappear in seconds. Moments later, '''georgebushsextape''', an account that is rarely ever active in '''SwagCord''', opens '''Ragecord''' to tell people to vote for the NSP. The plot is slowly starting to take shape. '''Walter''' shares the information that he got from '''Chauka''', stating that a non-insignificant amount of fraud is likely to take place. He shares two accounts, one '''Chauka''''s, the other one, '''georgebushsextape''', belonging to '''Dainis'''.

On July 12, an announcement is made. It clarifies that one will be unable to vote without being registered. A role is assigned to each and every voter who registers, allowing them to vote on the ballot. More interestingly, however, it gives the '''moderators''' a full list of who is allowed to vote. In the hours following the announcement, several new accounts register. Although some of them are '''SwagCord''' regulars, a majority of them are noticed to be inactive accounts with only a few messages on the server. None of them have any roles that could have been pinged, and would have no reason to check the server at this moment, however, they line up together like clockwork to register within hours of each other.

Among those suspicious accounts, another interesting one appears - and is immediately pitted. A confirmed '''Dainis''' alt, which left the server while it was in '''the Pit''', appears in formation with the other ones, however, due to instantly being pitted, it is unable to register to vote. Regardless, it serves as further confirmation that '''Dainis''' was the one behind the previous accounts joining the server. A list is formed. Profiles are collected. Accounts are verified, as far as that is possible. Eight names are written down. The rest are thrown out. All that remains is to wait for the perfect moment to put it all on the table.

==== The Modding of LarKc ====

~~lalalalalala~~

With results already looking uncertain hours before the polls closed, it was becoming increasingly clear the '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' would be leaving office after the night was over. His place in the '''mod chat''' would be replaced by someone else. However, with four months already spent in '''#admin-family-guy-roleplay''', his presence had grown on some members of the '''mod team''', and the wish to keep him was especially felt at the top. As his final act as '''President''', '''Walter''' opened a vote to allow for the permanent addition of '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' to the server's '''mod team'''. Minutes before the presidential vote ended, '''LarKc''' was given moderating perms after a 6-0 vote, indicating support from a majority of the other '''moderators'''. The results were about to be opened to the public.

~~words words words words words~~

==== Results ====

~~this~~ won't be ~~party~~ of the ~~final article~~

The '''#🎫-voting-booth''' closes. The results are revealed. '''Flaming Testicle (left)''' wins the race, with a staggering 30% of the vote. A surprising and stunning victory, the joke candidate is widely believed to have won because of the NSP vote transferring to the SFPP camp after '''Dainis''''s disqualification. The HWC achieved a total of 9 votes between '''Barley''' and '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''', although a combined total that is slightly more than that of '''Testicle''', unable to form a majority on their own. '''Xertun''''s strong debate performance once again translated into a strong showing, achieving 6 votes. Coalition building was soon to ensue.

=== The Testicle-Barley Government ===

[[File:TesticleSBservericon.png|thumb|174x174px|The server icon painted in celebration of '''Testicle'''<nowiki/>'s and '''Barley'''<nowiki/>'s presidential victory.]]

Sworn in on the night of July 14, 2024, after a long and confusing debate over who would be Vice-President, where absolutely no one knew what was going on, it was decided that '''Barley''' would serve alongside '''Flaming Testicle (left)''', proclaimed the second SwagBallian president. Although the pair possessed slightly less than 50% of the server's support, as necessitated by '''the Constitution''',<ref group="note"> '''2.3. THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT:''' The office of the president is composed of two democratically elected members; the president and the vice president. '''The user with the highest percentage of the vote is president. The president and the vice president must represent a combined total of at least 50% of the vote.'''</ref> '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''', recently modded, ceded his support to '''Barley''', allowing for power to be transferred to the pair.

Trouble immediately arose as it was soon realized that '''Flaming Testicle (left)''', although having won the election by huge margins, did not actually possess any political platform to speak of. The SFPP manifesto was seemingly non-existent, having vanished into thin air. Thrown into office by a faction of disaffected NSP voters after '''Dainis''''s disqualification, the people demanded change. But how could any proposal be implemented if no proposal was to be found?

Thankfully, the SFPP manifesto was soon recovered by '''Banarnar''', a crumpled up, crudely written-on piece of paper lying in the trash can, outlining all of the president's proposals in detail. The proposals of the '''President''' and '''Vice-President''', and their current status, have been outlined below.

~~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]
