			====Voiding Numbers====
			[[The Swarm]] attempted to void as many numbers as possible. They did this by creating alt accounts, claiming a number, and then deleting the account, permanently removing the number. At various points in the event, bugs allowed the Swarm to void thousands of numbers at a time. They especially targeted "important" numbers, such as centuries. A special effort was made to save 10,000 from the swarm, which succeeded.

	10k was reached at 9:34 pm EST. The counter continued as normal until around 12:00pm EST on the 2nd. At this point the counter was around 14k.		10k was reached at 9:34 pm EST. The counter continued as normal until around 12:00pm EST on the 2nd. At this point the counter was around 14k.

	* Scarlet Zeros<br>		* Scarlet Zeros<br>
	~~The~~ Scarlet ~~Zeros were made of those who had a scarlet flair, or a number ending in zero~~. ~~They valued peace,~~ and ~~stayed out~~ of ~~conflicts. The exception to this was~~ the ~~non-counters~~, as ~~zeros believed they must count to create more zeros~~. ~~The zeros goal varied between counting up, and balancing the counter at 0~~, 0.		Peaceful and accepting, the Scarlet Os welcome anyone with open arms to their community. As the oldest and most prosperous of the number communities, they serve as the hub for much of numberkind's communication and diplomacy. "For all numbers, infinitely."

	*~~One~~		*Red Ones
			A fiery and proud empire, the Red 1's are passionate about their chosen number, and will do anything to protect against it. They can achieve anything they think of, one step at a time. "Stand tall and proud, for we hath been blessed to be 1s!"

	*Two		*Humble Twos
			Always jolly, the 2s are a cheerful and upbeat group. Perhaps not as humble as they claim, they still work towards peace for all. They bask in the sunlight of a new nation, sticking together no matter what. Through thick and thin, they'll always have each others' backs. "Two is the glue!"

	*~~Three~~		*Orange Threes
			Devoted to worshipping their holy digit, the Orange 3s are a dedicated and powerful country, with a mighty commander to lead the way for all. You'll be surprised what they can do, for 3 is truly a magic number. "We are the original. We are the best. We are 3."

	*~~Four~~		*Golden Fours
			Fortunate but formidable, the Golden 4s are forever for peace in numberkind, using the policy of 'forgive and forget' for foreigners. Their forefathers, before 4 itself, brought forth the kingdom; they now hold the fort for all. "We are the Golden Legion of sacred number 4!"

	*Five		*Yellow Fives
			An old ally of the Os, the balance and the boundary formed one of the strongest bonds. The fives survived and thrived, being optimistic and confident of a bright future. They celebrate side by side, two fives completing each other. "Five will thrive, for we are the balance."

	*Six		*Lime Sixs
			Forever protecting the number public from the Incident, the 6s despise the 7s for reasons only they know, refusing to even get near them. They protect the 9s from harm as if their own. After all, they're just them, rotated. "For This is Six's Sacred Duty: to Safeguard Thee from Seven's Sins"

	*~~Seven~~		*Green Sevens
			The 7s who don't remember the Incident (or were too young) pride themselves on being lucky and kind. And the ones that do remember pride themselves on their resilience. Either way, their relations with 9 and 6 are... tense, to put it lightly. "We have fate on our side."

	*~~Eight~~		*Krazy Eights
			A fun squad to be with, the 8s may seem a little loopy at first, but in reality, they're a great time to be with. They're lighthearted and jolly, always up for some tomfoolery, but can be surprisingly deep sometimes. "Your time as a Krazy 8 will be eternal, as 8 forever will be."

	*~~Nine~~		*Purple Nines
			The shyest of the groups with a surprisingly small population, the Purple 9's history and intentions have always been shrouded in mystery. They rarely interact with other numbers, and seem to have plans beyond comprehension. "9 is the best, for it is the highest you can get!"

	====Other Factions====		====Other Factions====
			*Non-Pressers
			Even though the vast majority of us are Non-Pressers, few realise it. The ones that do take pride in staying pure from the Counter's temptations. They take their name from their forefathers, the Non-pressers of the Button of ages past, carrying it on into the future. "We are the strong. The proud. The Grey!"

			*The Unified Numbers
			Serving as the conduit for a more united future, the Unified Numbers aim to set aside differences and restore peace by allowing for communication and settling disputes between all numbers, non-pressers, and other parties. "For we are the ones counting, and we are the ones being counted.
