Shrek Electoral Campaign

Why vote for a student when you can vote for Shrek!
== What the Shrek is a Shrek Electoral Campaign ==
The Shrek Electoral Campaign was a fraudulent student government presidential campaign for Abington Heights High School. The campaign was made by Meme Lord, using an exploit in the school's email system to successfully send propaganda to every student in the Class of 2021 for the campaign. The Shrek Electoral campaign is one of the most successful and largest Meme Council missions ever done, with perhaps the largest reach.
== History ==
First, some context: The AHHS gsuite emailing system. Like most school emails, or, we presume like most school emails, Abington's emails for students are locked into the gsuite. In other words, nobody with an email that doesn't match the suite can email students or teachers, and vice versa. This was to both make sure students were paying attention and not using their school emails for personal use. However this would grow to be a problem as the 2020 AHHS student government election was coming up, and since Abington was currently in an era of hybrid learning (virtual/in-person), candidates sought to email their peers instead. And this is where things get...complicated.
November 2nd, 2020, 11:14 AM. A. Fink, running for Vice President, makes several, several errors in her email campaign. First off, her campaign poster in her first email was blocked by the school's wacky block thingies. Not only this, but instead of using the Guidance department's pre-approved gsuite mass-email, it somehow broke and sent it individually to everybody, meaning whoever checked the email technically had access to every single CO2021 student's gmail. It got worse, as Guidance tried to fix this, they accidently sent around 7 more emails of the same thing, and also made replies to the email public. This was fixed eventually, but the damage had been done. There was one thing they still overlooked that allowed everything to fall into place...
Guidance had opened the school's gsuite to outside emails specifically to get these candidate emails to work. All the pieces were in place, and by 11:51 AM, Meme Lord got an idea and shared it with Mike Kachowski, and the two got to conspiring. As Meme Lord was setting up the posters, Guidance screws up yet again, and accidently sends the mass gmails for emailing each entire grade in the school at the time. These would prove to be worthless as they were inaccessible and wouldn't send unless a guidance member used them. The Snazzmaster joined in and gave inspiration for a mass emailing system, which didn't work initially but led to the discovery of gmass, which did work:
An alt email was made, and after a copy paste list of every school email was made, The Snazzmaster gave it a whirl but alas, still it didn't work. Meme Lord finally eventually cracked it and at 1:06 PM, the emails were sent out to over 150 students, half of them failing to send.
== Impact ==
The campaign succeeded, not in the sense that Shrek won, (Colombo won, kill me) but that the Council had successfully broken through Abington's vile system and sent bogus Shrek emails to nearly everyone in their grade from an alternate email. The emails got a few replies and several students quickly figured out who the culprit was, including Meestur Deeskuh, and the administration never acted on it. Mission accomplished.
