===== The Debate =====
The candidates were called for a debate on Saturday night of May 18, hours before the elections were called. Most of them seasoned politicians at this point in their careers, unlike the first time, the debate started without much issue, as candidates were called one by one to explain to the public their political motivations and why it should be them who should capture their vote that night. And it all went as expected until '''Xertun''' showed up.
Hailing from the gambling-oriented catposting server '''Xertuncord''', its owner recently joined the server, along with many of its other prominent users, following a partnership with '''SwagCord''', which included the reopening of the '''#🤑-gambling''' channel and integration of the Discord stock-trading bot '''Purrtun'''. Although knowing certain people in the server, '''Xertun''' for the most part remained ignorant of what went on in the server. Allegedly, he was not even aware this was a '''Senate''' election, but a race for president. And so, when it came his turn to set an agenda, he replied with a simple "hallo" and waved goodbye.
The audience was immediately swayed in his favor, a mostly unknown independent candidate suddenly stood front and center. As the questions kept piling on, as the other candidates gave paragraphs upon paragraphs of long answers, '''Xertun''' captured the hearts of the people with unseen honesty and earnestness. Not knowing what question he was even answering, he opened up '''Minecraft''' in the middle of the debate, never letting go of the absolutely clueless demeanor. In that moment, everyone in the audience saw themselves in '''Xertun'''.
