Not since the Hypixel War event has Twitch seen so many viewers.
After much discussion, the company's executives decided that they would allocate most of the advertising resources to Minecraft, since while the second most watched game had only 150k viewers watching simultaneously, Minecraft maintained 2 million viewers at all times!
During peak hours that number rose to an incredible 5 million!
And among Minecraft streamers, the biggest was NedTheKing, who currently had 1.3 million viewers watching his live stream.
Many would think that NedTheKing was doing some championship, or a raffle for viewers, or maybe even a livestream with some famous person, but no, what Ned was doing was a political campaign!
On the livestream screen, Ned was standing on top of a makeshift stage that players had made in the Skyblock lobby as he looked down at the thousands of players looking down at him.
"Dear citizens of Hypixel Skyblock, the Mayoral elections are approaching and as you know, I, NedTheKing, have always been very sincere with all of you about my goal.
Unlike other candidates who promise lower fees for using farm points, I don't intend to promise any of that!" Ned said with a serious expression on stage, as his Ender Dragon cape fluttered in the wind.
Upon hearing this, the players watching this speech were furious, but Ned continued.
"We know that farm zone usage fees are low, if we lower them even further the government won't be able to pay for everything, which will slow down the speed at which items spawn, further reducing the gain for all of us!
What I intend is to allocate the fees in a more efficient way, thus increasing the spawn speed for the resources in low level zones, so that newbies can earn money faster, while I will use the higher amount of income from newbies to increase the rarity of ores in high level zones!" Ned said with great pride the idea he had.
Upon hearing Ned's solution, the furious players were stunned, until they understood that this would actually work well for all of them, causing the players to scream excitedly.
"Down Mayor! Down Mayor! Down Mayor! Down Mayor!"
Though they yelled Ned Mayor, Ned was just hearing "King Ned!"
Running against Ned were even some former politicians from the real world, as they saw the possibility of gaining power and influence in this game that was growing so fast, but while these people were still stuck in retrograde ways of thinking, Ned who knew Minecraft very well knew how he could please the players perfectly.
While politicians thought that promising to lower taxes would mislead players, Ned knew that only real benefits would make players favor him.
Unlike the real world where politicians would have 4 years to develop things that voters liked, in Hypixel this time was only 14 days, that is, if the mayor was not satisfactory enough, in two weeks he would be replaced.
So Ned thought of something he could do in a short time that would please the players to secure his position as mayor.
Fortunately, from Ned's smile and people's excitement, the probability of him winning was very high.
After the speech, Ned walked over to his two friends who were waiting to the side.
One of his friends was someone he treated like a brother in reality, [PParker], while the other was someone they met in the Hypixel war, [Hulk].
Seeing that Hulk was getting stressed from standing here so long, Ned suggested that they go fight a Boss in the Skyblock's combat zone.
After Peter befriended Hulk, he discovered that this big guy really liked fighting monsters and breaking things, so he suggested to Hulk that they go to Skyblock, since there were many powerful Bosses.
Hulk wasn't very interested, until Peter said in a simpler way that there were strong monsters there and so Hulk got really excited.
Ned and Petter helped Hulk to kill the Ender Dragon the first time, thus managing to take Hulk to the Skyblock, where Hulk spent practically the entire day fighting.
