The story of Mustard is a long one, going all the way back to the ancient days of '''P1ZZ4 HUT'''.

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, '''Mustard''' 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''', '''Mustard''' 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> 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, '''Mustard''''s behavior was something that would become more considered in the future.

On ███████ ██, 2024, the past experiences of some '''P1ZZ4 HUT''' 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.

It should be noted that rule 16 is not enforced at all, and ''discussion'' of piracy does not violate rule 18.

==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'''.
