===The Story of Sam and Kae===
===The Story of Sam and Kae===


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.
On January 10, '''Samarm132''' joined the server. At the time he appeared to be a common subreddit member. Although his name remained unknown, he had been discussed previously on the server, or rather, a post of his on '''r/ihaveihaveihavereddit''', was discussed, with '''Gladiux''' commenting on the declining quality of that subreddit.
[[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.
Soon it came to be known that '''Sam''', as he will be referred to for the rest of the article, was not a complete stranger, as he revealed that he knew '''Berkabitz''', a Reddit user that we jokingly suggested was in a relationship with '''Moe''' due to the unusual number of messages the pair exchanged.


On January 16, '''Berkabitz''', from now on referred to as '''Kae''', joined the server.
This will become more relevant to our story as it nears its end. But in the beginning it did not matter much. '''Sam''' was quickly determined to be annoying by the '''Moederators'''. Nevertheless, he chose to stay on the server.


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.
On January 16, '''Berkabitz''', who will henceforth be referred to as '''Kae''', joined the server.


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.

[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]
