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. | ||

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. | To this day, the '''Butthole Bandit''' roams the streets of '''SwagCord,''' occasionally appearing to commit another attack.

=== 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. | |||

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. 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. | It was becoming increasingly clear that '''girard'''<nowiki/>'s grip on the server had become stronger than one could have ever imagined.

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 SwagCraft slowly lost activity, and Koknese decided to give the server a quirk, having two teams compete against each other. This was quite unsuccessful, and on March 3rd 2024, server was raided by a raiding group, however it is not known how they found the servers' IP, and many blame Jewedittor for ordering the strike. | The SwagCraft slowly lost activity, and Koknese decided to give the server a quirk, having two teams compete against each other.
