## The Day of Reckoning (The Incident) - Beginning of the End

On this day, tensions were already high in the now defunct Shammy community server, in specific, at the #lowry board, where most of Mandalore's fans would gather to discuss games and puzzle-illness related afflictions.

It is no exaggeration that the community in #lowry was the most diverse and active inside the whole of Shammycord, and every now and then a derelict member would sprout in one of the other channels and stir an argument. These had been piling up slowly throughout the past months, ever since the Drood Exodus.

By the time of The Incident, the former member known as [REDACTED] had ellaborated a lengthy and dramatic manifesto in which they state that members of the #lowry channel were gangstalking them and holding them accountable for some of their raunchier messages targeted towards minors. This aforementioned manifesto did spark chatter between the moderators of the server, but not much mind was put into it. On the 30th of July, however, another member had posted a long report on why they were leaving the server. This time, [REDACTED] had been a target of harassment by two members that dwelled mostly in #lowry, and this took the moderator [REDACTED] to take action upon her hands.

On a Friday afternoon, by around 14:30 EST, [REDACTED] had joined a voice chat call in which a few of the members from #lowry would usually gather, as it was customary on Fridays and weekends. She would then take it upon herself to vent and rant for approximately 6 hours, almost in a monologue, on the most varied and disconnected subjects devised by mankind. It began with the punishment to the two members responsible for the harassment towards [REDACTED], and then things quickly changed to chasers that targeted trans women, how the Trump administration treated people that depended on disability support, the legitimacy of Israel as an independent state, allegations towards the Chinese government not being of communist ideology and the taxation of billionaires such as Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.

As the conversation moved from topic to topic, more people started flooding in the call, people that had never joined a VC call at all in several months had seen that a moderator from the Shammy staff was in the channel and flocked in to see what was happening. Notable Ben Shapiro stan [REDACTED] was responsible to engage with the moderator for most of the time. Up until this day there is no evidence pointing towards if he was trolling her intentionally, if he really meant what he said, or if he was working with her on the inside, acting as a honey pot so she could build a case to bait and ban more people. At the final moments of the discussion, [REDACTED] mentioned that "Nazis should be punched on the spot, no questions asked", which spurred the member [REDACTED] to make a stand against non-violent means of protest. This made most of the members in the call to assume that [REDACTED] was an endorser of Nazism, but, in true, [REDACTED] was not and is not a Nazi, he only lacked the reading comprehension and knowledge (world) to understand that someone who alleges endorsment of both the Nazi regime and ideology, usually cannot be reasoned with by verbal means. However, this made an entire chatroom of people to go ham on [REDACTED], which turned him defensive and hostile. He proceeded to delete the alternative Lowry server that was reserved for niche shitposting and archival of the more egregious posts from selected and monitored members of the Shammycord server.

After this discussion, it was decided that the #lowry board needed its own moderator, and so, [REDACTED] was elected to the post, as he was both a very influential member and had the necessary connections to previous staff members.

The channel then proceeded to enjoy a period of peace. The first action of newly crowned moderator [REDACTED] was the purging of [REDACTED], which would constantly flood #lowry with softcore fetish pornography. Mandalore would then stream twice before the end of the year, accompained by Shammy.

This incident marked the victory of constraint, and perseverance against all odds. Lowry will live on.
