Pikcord Raid

On the 6th of October, 2023, four members from the Pikcord discord server simultaneously launched a raid on The Zoo.
== Pikcord Raid ==
=== What happened? ===
Out of nowhere, four members of Pikcord joined The Zoo and were immediately causing a stir within the #general chat. Kumi recognized one of the raiders and warned chat about the language they were known to use, which wasn't an unfounded concern considering said language was used almost immediately.
Arkontas proceeded to ping all of the evil babies and kind babies announcing that intruders had entered the server. Things immediately descended into chaos once word had spread that there was an invasion from Pikcord, with members of The Zoo attempting to formulate a plan to deal with the intruders.
=== What was our response? ===
In order to deal with the Pikcord raiders, the #general chat started mass spamming "INTRUDERS MUST BE SENT TO THE ONION ⁉️ ⁉️ ‼️ ‼️ 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️". This is a reference to various meme lines used during the Captain Underpants Takeover incident. The raiders were overwhelmed and moved to #slowmode where it was revealed that most of them didn't care about joining The Zoo, with one of them having left the server immediately after joining.
=== Consequences? ===
There was a lot of bickering between both sides that didn't really go anywhere and ended with most of the raiders supposedly leaving the server while at least one remained, although it is unknown whether that member will continue to interact with The Zoo going forward, and that goes for the rest of the raid party as well.
In the end, nothing really changed for the members of The Zoo, although the relationship between both Pikcord and The Zoo has in all likelihood strained further as a result of the raid.
== Other Incidents ==
=== Counter-Raid ===
On the 12th of November, 2023, multiple members of The Zoo headed into Pikcord and attempted to get themselves timed out or outright banned from the server by annoying the members and their mod team despite being warned not to do so from some other members in the #general chat. Various screenshots showed that Pikcord members see The Zoo as a bunch of 10 year olds despite them being the ones who raided this server first the month prior.
One member of Pikcord would come into The Zoo and started antagonizing the members there to which Arkontas would tell them off while allowing them to remain and interact after receiving a timeout if they so chose (spoilers: they didn't). Things would calm down after that, but it is clear from this incident that The Zoo and Pikcord will forever remain at odds going forward.
=== Suspected Pikcord Invader ===
On the 18th of November, 2023, a new member entered The Zoo and was disappointed in the lack of Pikmin discussion to the point that they complained and called the other members a bunch of 10 year olds. This same insult originated from Pikcord so members immediately went on the offensive against a potential raider, even bringing back the spam of "INTRUDERS MUST BE SENT TO THE ONION ⁉️ ⁉️ ‼️ ‼️ 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️" that was used during the original raid. While entertaining, the new member would proceed to leave the server after the spam calmed down, and a few members confirmed that the user wasn't from Pikcord despite the similar behavior.
== Trivia ==
* The raiders were actually invited to The Zoo according to witness testimony.
* averagejoe51423 was the first to start spamming "INTRUDERS MUST BE SENT TO THE ONION ⁉️ ⁉️ ‼️ ‼️ 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️" for both spam sessions.
* Noahthet made an alt account to counter-raid Pikcord since their original one was already banned.
