It’s not that kind of malicious broadcast

『Author: CravingWarmAmericano (👑)』

『Title: Streaming Announcement』

『Hello everyone.

Did you all have a good meal?

I’ve lost my appetite lately, so instead, I read a book with a beer. It’s nourishment for the mind.

Actually, I didn’t read a book. I explored WeTogether.

They say public opinion reflects the will of heaven, right? I’ve carefully checked all of your valuable opinions.

I’ll positively review the comments that appeared most frequently.

While I didn’t run exact statistics, from what I remember… If I’m lying about the Worlds Championship Finals broadcast, I’ll do some severe acts, please set up the camera in a proper position, and I miss my small GetDevoured. These three types were the most common.

The Finals broadcast will be a collaborative broadcast. We’ll most likely turn on the camera then… and the person installing it will set it up properly, which resolves two complaints at once.

Whether I will appear on camera, I don’t know.

I’ll reflect the third opinion in today’s broadcast. See you shortly.

Thank you.』

– ㅠㅠ Please take care of yourself and eat well; we’re worried about you.

– ㄴ The most useless thing in the world is worrying about this Tenryeon.

– ㄴㄴ They’re not eating but you’re not worried and just cursing Tenryeon? Are you a true fan?

– ㄴ Alcohol has calories too, so maybe it’s okay.

– ㄴㄴ Is everyone from the broadcaster to the viewers just a bunch of alcoholics?

– The one spamming about the small A is just one person, right? Why would you reflect that?

– ㄴ But there were many posts? 『I deeply miss my small GetDevoured.』

– ㄴㄴ Damn it, seriously, manage WeTogether.

– ㄴㄴ If you hate the temple, the monk should leave~ There are already too many viewers anyway. 『I deeply miss my small GetDevoured.』

– ㄴㄴ It’s really repulsive in so many ways.

– Wow, they’re really going to broadcast the Finals. Thank you… thank you…

– ㄴ But damn it, now I see it’s another collaborative broadcast? Just turning on the camera but no GetDevoured?

– ㄴ Come to think of it, GetDevoured is the one making money and enjoying the content, so why am I thanking her?

– ㄴㄴ Oh, why is this guy stitching his head?

– Seriously, how are you reflecting the opinion of the guy who spams about the small A?

– ㄴ Information) GetDevoured once banned 80% of viewers when they told her to go broadcast.

– ㄴㄴ If there are over ten thousand viewers and she bans eight thousand, the broadcast will end eventually.

– ㄴㄴ “No, 2,000 people are way too many. GetDevoured’s broadcast was the best during the 300-member era.

– ㄴㄴ’I dearly miss my own small GetDevoured.'”

– ㄴㄴ”No, the broadcast grew too fast. 300 members, my foot LOLOLOL. Did it last for at least three days?”

– ㄴㄴ”No new viewers accepted.

– ㄴㄴ ‘I dearly miss my own small GetDevoured.'”

Lee Yena’s broadcast had been irregular. The start time, the end time, even the content of the broadcast.

One could say, to put it positively, that she was like a rugby ball whose trajectory couldn’t be predicted. Those who spoke negatively attached countless variations of insults to similar descriptions.

In her broadcast, the only consistent elements were the rogue she always played, the Rogue Revival Movement written in her broadcast title, and the start screen of the broadcast.

However, with the contents being taken over via stamp-taking and starting to play other games besides KoK – from some point, even the broadcast titles became varied.

The only tradition that had stayed was the plain start screen of the broadcast. A black background with no details, making viewers doubt their monitors were off.

Fans often complained, saying if she liked black, she could at least put up a nice space photo or even a night sky to look at.

Of course, Lee Yena’s answer to that had been, “Doesn’t it make you look forward a bit if there’s nothing to see? Makes you curious about what will come out.”

And despite this, the screen never changed. Furthermore, she went as far as to certificate that it was handmade on Paint.

Even with numerous requests for a proper intro screen and many fan arts being uploaded for her to use as a start screen, she had steadfastly kept that black screen-

Until it disappeared for the first time.

[???]

[What is this?]
[??]

[Discourse?]

[Is it a collaboration today?]

[Huh, what’s with the Discourse?]

The viewers who visited the broadcast were greeted by a Discourse group chat room.

The only participant: CravingWarmAmericano.

Next to the title of the group chat room was the participant capacity of “1/50.”

《Ah. Can you hear me well?》

With those words, the broadcast began, and Lee Yena greeted with a quiet voice and continued her explanation.

《Have you heard the phrase, ‘Satisfaction comes from scarcity’? Personally, it’s a very impressive line.》

[Here we go again with the nonsense.]

[This is unsettling.]

[Is it a viewer participation?]

-ㅇㅇ has donated 10,000 won!-

【Yes, since your broadcasting is always so lacking, we understand perfectly well】

『LOL LOLOLOL NO WAY』

『Ah, I see, that’s what you meant. Hahah, feels like I want to murder someone』

『Instead of satisfaction, I’m feeling anger, teacher』

『But honestly, you’re a warm welcome when you’re around…』

『Sat?isf?』

The chat, which had been restless with unease, gradually began to heat up. As if waiting for a small spark to set off a large fire, the atmosphere grew tense.

《In that spirit, today’s broadcast will be a small one. Let’s say about… 50 minutes. The rules are simple. Post a screenshot of your own record showing more than 5 rogue games out of your recent 10 games on WeTogether as a secret post. Starting now, the first 30 people will be accepted.》

An unexpected announcement brought about a moment of silence.

Catching the intent behind Lee Yena’s statement, ‘satisfaction comes from deprivation’,—that she would do a semi-exclusive broadcast—was not too difficult.

It was certainly no idle talk. Lee Yena had never failed to do what she said she would, nor did she ever do what she said she wouldn’t—for better or worse, she was consistent.

The viewers reacted in various ways. Some were too stunned to respond. Others were quickly searching their records, taking screenshots. Some were hastily preparing their posts to edit later, and some even scoured the internet to find images of someone else’s rogue gameplay records.

Whichever their approach, it was clear they had no time for chatting—it moved at less than 10% of its usual speed.

《If you leave your Discourse ID in your post, we’ll invite you to the group chat. The remaining 20 will be selected by roulette and messaged accordingly.》

Amid the collective near-panic behavior, Lee Yena continued speaking slowly.

《For content… How about a relaxing advice-sharing broadcast? I failed at listening to viewers’ concerns before, so… I might talk about my own worries. Ah, and I have some concerns about the webcam as well.》

《More than 30 posts have already been uploaded. It’s nice to see that the number of rogue users has increased… Thank you.》

《Well then, let’s start the small broadcast. I hope it satisfies those who wanted a small GetDevoured.》

Just as small gatherings have unique atmospheres, the same applies to broadcasts. Communication flows better… It feels more intimate, cozy even.

So, it’s natural for people to miss those old days.

“Can everyone see the screen share? Yes, it will only be visible to those in this group chat. Be careful not to accidentally leave, as someone else will be invited in your place.”

I shared the entirety of my computer screen in real-time with the group chat, setting up a relatively simple small broadcast—and briefly gazed at the group chat with 50 members.

The activity is insane. Hard to believe it’s just 50 people.

Is the satisfaction from a small broadcast that significant? It was nice to see all 50 people genuinely delighted.

“Oh, I’ve turned off the Tw*tch chat and donations. Please understand this is to prevent interruptions to the small broadcast.”

However, entirely cutting off the Tw*tch broadcast wouldn’t be polite. Something still needed to be broadcasted.

I configured the broadcast to only capture my voice and the Discourse chat window. It’s a small broadcast, but it’s okay for people outside to peek in.

Normally, it’s just my voice going out anyway. It’s not a huge difference.

“Everyone, please remember that people outside can also see the chat. Please maintain chat etiquette.”

『Kyahahaha, this is so sweet LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOL』

『Is it very cold outside? It’s nice and warm in here^^ Is it very cold outside? It’s nice and warm in here^^ It’s nice and warm here^^ It’s nice and warm here^^ It’s nice and warm here^^』

『Thank youㅠㅠㅠ Thank youㅠㅠㅠㅠ』

『LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOL You idiots, you should have dug the thread in advance. Do you think taking screenshots will get you a good spot in line? LOLOLOL LOL』

『Yeah~ go ahead and chat outside all you want~ Teacher only cares about us~』

Doing it in advance seemed a bit unfair. I gave a mental yellow card for that. If they were caught again, they’d have to be kicked out.

“Alright then… I’ll tell you about the first dilemma. It’s about broadcasting the World Series finals… I might be doing it with these folks.”

I opened up a notepad and wrote, 『Ark? Revan? StarPork? Not confirmed』. It wasn’t confirmed yet, after all. Still in consideration… and I didn’t want to cause any trouble.

“So, if that happens, it becomes a concern…”

Next, I wrote 『Cam? No Cam?』 and highlighted it.

It was really a dilemma. Considering the number of people who would flock to the finals, it would be a great opportunity for KoK broadcasters to get known. If my presence meant they couldn’t turn on their cameras, that would be a real nuisance.

So, wearing a ski mask seemed like the best answer, but there had been considerable pushback from fellow broadcasters… a bit hard to ignore.

In this context, I thought, ‘Maybe it’s a good time to gather viewers’ opinions,’ especially since the chance of them getting swept up in public sentiment was low… and running a smaller broadcast meant there was no reason for them to voice strange opinions just to grab attention.

“So, I thought maybe I’ll go this way, but what if I wear this… those were my thoughts.”

『Oh』

『Hmm, this seems like the better option^^』

『Ka』

『Big news coming』

『Wow, really discussing this?』

『Ka, I didn’t realize a notepad could be such a god-tool』

『“That” seems a bit off, “this” looks better』

The viewers’ reactions were a bit exaggerated… but with a smaller broadcast, the tension likely ramped up.

I circled ‘Cam’ and pulled up the screenshot of the ski mask I had in my shopping cart.

“What do you all think? Should I buy this first?”

『What the hell is this, what is “this way” you bastards, what the hell is this, what is “this way” you bastards, what the hell is this, what is “this way” you bastards, what the hell is this, what is “this way” you bastards, what the hell is this, what is “this way” you bastards』

『Mom, it’s too cold here, please let me in, mom, it’s too cold here, please let me in, mom, it’s too cold here, please let me in, mom, it’s too cold here, please let me in, mom, it’s too cold here, please let me in』

『What the hell are you doing, please give me another chance, let’s spin the roulette one more time』

『I want to kill everyone』

『Those jerks inside, I really want to beat them up for keeping everything secret』

『Please just broadcast normally』
