The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 160
56. New Year’s Plans (2)
The Triby Awards ceremony had finally concluded.
However, this was only the story of the live broadcast.
On AllTube and other video platforms, it was essentially just beginning.
-The exclusive premiere video is up
-They said this performance was legendary
First time revealing this ㅠㅠㅠ
-CEO! Open the doors!
True to its nature as the backbone of modern media, Triby was structured with abundant entertainment that viewers could enjoy without overthinking, drawing them to seek out the videos.
For example, the collaborative performance appearance of Cutie Pie and Partishe was one such case.
-Oh, here it comes
-Is this an idol group?! This IS an idol group?!
-Breaking news) All discord rumors revealed to be complete lies…
Moreover, the special performance videos of other invited singers were also extremely popular.
-Is that rap performance real?
Lol artificial turf is crazy
My eyes are feasting / What a treat for the eyes ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
These singer performance videos likely received the highest view counts among all videos uploaded to Triby’s official channel.
There were many special performances that were difficult to see elsewhere.
However, this was only the story of the official channel.
Department Manager Jang didn’t just operate a single official channel this time.
He created an additional sub-channel, one made with less effort and like a fan page.
On that channel, this video—not a singer performance—was recording the highest view count.
[Making Sweet Almond Chocolate]
A video directly planned by Department Manager Jang. It was simply a video of a man in a suit giving his acceptance speech.
Yet somehow it felt perfectly polished.
This was the magic Department Manager Jang wielded.
The skill to extract clean beauty without any special editing.
-Wow, he’s handsome
-I came thinking it was a cooking channel and got hit hard
-So how do you actually make that almond chocolate?
└Ask Almond’s mother and father
The only one who knows the recipe lol
└Why are you meeting my in-laws?
ㅋㅋㅋ (laughing/lol)
Lol are you already married lol
“What’s with the clickbait title lolol”
-Paradise
The suit draped over a physique honed since childhood delivered tremendous catharsis to those with particular tastes.
That wasn’t necessarily limited to people who already knew Streamer Almond.
-This person’s a streamer? I thought this was a movie awards ceremony lol
-I got here through a different awards ceremony algorithm… Why is my favorite actor here?
-I’m seeing this person for the first time today. I… I used to love Sang-hyun Yu.
This was one of the other perks of the awards ceremony.
Since everyone was hosting award ceremonies during this season, it was easy to ride the algorithm within OlTube.
As a result, it was also easy for new fans to flood in.
-So this is the acceptance speech for Best Actor, right?
-Sang-hyun Yu. My marriage fell apart because of you. Take responsibility.
└Why did your marriage fall apart lol
I found out something was wrong with my husband after seeing this ㅠㅠㅠ
└lololol
Not long after the video was uploaded.
Someone’s marriage fell apart because of it.
Someone else began fantasizing about marrying him.
It was probably because Sanghyeon was wearing a tuxedo.
A somewhat cool-looking athletic pretty boy dressing up for the first time in a while and proposing to me in a video… I can’t even handle thisㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
“Cool… sports world… pretty boys… okay, so I just need to lie down here?”
└But who’s proposing to you anyway???lololol
I’m laughing so hard I’m crying lol
└Juhyeok:???
└lol it’s a confession lol
Among all this, Almond’s original fans were naturally in the comments too.
They saw their chance and started bragging to the newly arrived fans.
-???: Hey, you guys better avoid Almond. Phew…
└lololol
└??lololol
-Listen up newbies, I’ll set the standard for you. Once a week. Your body can’t handle more than that.
└Is this some kind of demonic martial art lololol
└lololololol
└If you don’t know proper breathing technique, it’s recommended you don’t use it.
└lololol
Watching Almond’s stream is like smoking, like learning dark demonic arts—it’s recommended you avoid it.
The reason was this.
-You will now experience the frustration of watching Almond’s stream, suddenly getting a lot of donations, recklessly sticking an arrow in your scalp, and then staring blankly at a squid in a black screen for a long time. So that’s why… you guys better avoid Almond.
└But how do you even avoid Almond lololol
└lololol
└Why are you suddenly speaking informally, you bastard!
└Jeongsangsu enters the chat;
Almond’s stream’s characteristic sudden broadcasts and irregular timing, and so on.
It was because watching him was agonizing.
However, their dissuasion proved meaningless. The day after the awards ceremony, when no one bothered to turn on their streams.
Ding!
[What Will This Guy Be Like in 2036? Crafting a New Year’s Masterplan]
A broadcast started with such a title.
While viewers were delighted on one hand, they were also dumbfounded.
-This madman lolololol
-He’s deliberately turning it on to mock us, right??
-As expected from the Demon Cult…
-Learn to manage expectations, Imari
-The title is hilarious lololol
-He wouldn’t turn it on when everyone predicted he would. But he turns it on when everyone predicted he wouldn’t?!
-And it’s a communication broadcast too lololol he’s insane
-Why are you starting a broadcast, New Year~~~

* * *
Yaaaawn.
Sanghyeon lets out a languid yawn, looking exhausted.
The hangover still hadn’t worn off.
‘Ugh….’
Still, I sat in front of the computer’s camera and started the broadcast. It was something I’d decided on after consulting with Juhyeok.
I was planning to communicate with my viewers for the first time in a while today.
The topic was to create a New Year’s broadcast masterplan together with the viewers.
Since I’d already figured out the rough outline, it was more like an announcement than actually creating it together….
[Streaming Started]
I pressed the streaming button and waited for it to load briefly.
Sitting in front of a computer rather than a capsule to broadcast felt oddly unfamiliar.
‘Huh?’
My eyes turned toward the viewer count.
[Current Viewers: 9.3K]
I just started it.
What’s going on?
Did some controversy break out? Did I say something strange while drunk?
I paused to think back for a moment.
The broadcast had already started in the meantime.
“Ah. Yo.”
I let out a rough greeting with sleepy eyes.
-This guy’s insane insane
-Wow, seriously???
-Hi hi
Oh no, the president is leaving ㅠㅠㅠ
-He actually turned on the stream!
-Wow, is today a communication broadcast???
-He was in a suit as Holly’s leader, and now suddenly switching to casual clothes—heart attack incoming!?
‘What’s with the chat speed.’
The chat speed on his stream’s initial screen was different from what I normally knew.
Of course, the chat is usually fast when a broadcast first starts. But that’s only temporary.
It typically settles down quickly.
But not this time.
[Current Viewers: 15,000]
Fifteen thousand people had entered in an instant.
“I… won’t be playing games today. I’m just planning. Raising my Civil Empire rank can wait until tomorrow anyway.”
Boom!
Donations pour in as if telling me to shut up and just accept them.
[Rubisword has donated 100,000 won!]
[Wow! Rookie of the Year, congrats! And the rest of the awards too!]
“The rest of the box” lol
-Rubisword’s got style
-Kyaa
-Initiating the hype~
-Your luck’s turned around today, CEO
As the viewers said, my luck seemed to be turning around today.
Boom boom!
[Gaji-bokkeun has donated 30,000 won.]
[What are your New Year’s plans? My sibling says theirs is a diet. I ‘corrected’ them that it’s not a plan—it’s a prayer.]
Correction lol
-At least they didn’t steal their sibling’s money
-Still… you love your sibling, right?
-Is your sibling a girl? Is she pretty?
Lol, fix it right now, damn it!
Gaji-bokkeun threw down a hefty donation after a long time.
After that, numerous donations continued to celebrate the Rookie of the Year award.
Boom boom!
Boom!
All of them were high donations of 40,000 to 50,000 won or more.
‘But these aren’t people I recognize.’
Yet a considerable portion—nearly half—are unfamiliar names.
Usually, the people who donate are pretty consistent.
“Thank you all so much. I’ll work hard in the New Year too.”
I bowed my head slightly and wrapped up the donation relay at a natural stopping point.
“Well… I’m seeing a lot of new faces… Why did so many people come to a communication broadcast?”
[Current Viewers: 37,000]
Almond’s stream was the kind where you’d only hit 30,000 viewers if you played a pretty entertaining game.
Considering this was the first time hitting 30,000 viewers since the Nanteu match broadcast, you could get a rough sense of what was happening.
It was reasonable to wonder why 37,000 people had shown up for a communication broadcast.
-Ban viewer count mentions
-Ban the streamer
-You. Get out.
Almond had mentioned the viewer count himself.
But it didn’t matter.
“The streamer’s fine.”
That was the rule here.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
-Shameless incarnate
Host scam map ~~
Hahahahaha
Clap.
Almond clapped once to redirect attention.
“Now. New Year’s plan…”
He was finding his editing point.
“How will this guy be in 2036? Let’s go. Starting now.”
Hahahahaha
“Hey, you’re doing well with broadcasting now, haha”
-This is a major channel!? This is a major channel!?
Click.
And he opened the New Year’s plan that Juhyeok had prepared.
“First…”
It was a plan document made with visuals, easy to view.
“Communication.”
1. Communication
The first topic was communication.
“Throughout this year of 2035, I received a lot of feedback that my broadcasts lacked communication. I didn’t get much of that last year. Strange, isn’t it?”
-???
-You didn’t exist last year
Hahaha, a rookie award for cooking?
-Ah I got the rookie award in just 3 months~~
-You guys just figure it out quickly!
-?
“So. I’m planning to carefully create one communication channel. Runstagram has its limits, you see. So…”
Click.
2. Broadcast Format
That’s exactly what follows.
“So the broadcast format is changing slightly. Instead of jumping straight into the game….”
Click.
He displays photos he’d compiled from other broadcasts.
“T. S. B. Opening now.”
-Wait, the chat?
-Ohhh this is insane
-Tribi Streamer Board opening!?!?
-Trib board lmaooo
-Lol managing this is gonna be rough
The Tribi Streamer Board.
A fan forum that Tribi viewers could use.
Messages they wanted to share with the streamer, humor they wanted to showcase, or everyday moments they wanted to share.
You could post anything as long as it didn’t offend others.
Streamers skilled at engagement would read from it when they started broadcasting, communicating with their viewers.
Almond’s broadcast had kept it closed.
He simply hadn’t wanted to bear the risks that came with engagement.
‘This is how you climb to the next level.’
Almond realized this at the awards ceremony.
Especially watching Jello, who won the Grand Prize, and the other nominees.
Not a single one of them lacked skill in engagement.
They essentially devoted about twenty percent of their broadcast time to engagement, with the rest being gameplay.
「Ultimately, what viewers want is friendship. Community building and engagement are essential.」
That was Balloon Gum’s words.
A place where people watching Balloon Gum’s broadcast could interact with each other, share stories, and become friends.
That’s what the Tribi Streamer Board was.
Shortened to T.S.B.
Almond decided at the awards ceremony that he needed to open it.
He’d received good motivation.
“From now on, I’ll read through the posts on the T.S.B. board when I start broadcasting. And….”
Ding.
Posts were already starting to be registered.
Ding. Ding.
-Lol the execution speed
-Hahahaha
-Study like this lol
-Read it! Read it!
“Understood. A promise is a promise.”
Almond said that and clicked on the first post on the T.S.B.
-History itself
-Wow
I’m jealous and envious ㅜㅜ
The early bird catches the worm, they say.
“Let me read the first post.”
The first post—honestly, I expected the content to be thin.
“The title is about why viewer count skyrocketed.”
It was actually a fairly substantive post. But it didn’t matter.
“Hmm. Already banned, right?”
-???
-?
-…?
There was a brief delay.
Crazy lolololol
I’m dying laughing lol
That’s right lolol
The viewers understood—mentioning viewer count resulted in a ban.
“That’s what happens when you don’t read the notices and just post. You’re banned.”
The first poster really did get hit with a three-hour ban.
-Haha~
-A juvenile delinquent!? What’s that!?
-Is this justice!? Is this justice!? Is this justice!?
-You could join the Justice League
-Fair and impartial standards. Yes. We’ll use standards.
Ding.
A donation came through.
[Reverswain donated 1,000 won.]
[I thought you were the early bird, but turns out you were the early worm, huh?]
Hahahahahahaha
That’s right lolol
-Proverb reversal!
Since it was just a thousand-won donation, I moved on without much comment.
“Now let’s move on to the next really important topic.”
Back to the New Year’s plan again.
3. Simultaneous progression of Civil Empire and other games
-Ooooh
-For real?
-Playing other games?
-Now that’s a true variety streamer
-Do you have the stamina for that?
So many questions.
Almond broke the silence.
“I’ve heard the phrase ‘comprehensive game streamer’ so many times this year. Not once last year. It almost feels like there’s been some manipulation from somewhere…”
-Well, that’s because you didn’t exist last year
The concept is so cool lol
Are we really gonna keep going like this? lol
That’s so cute lolololol
-Who wrote this script! Come out!
This is just constantly appealing with the rookie salary for three months lolololol
Almond paused to appreciate the chat reactions before continuing.
“After ‘communicating’ with the Civil Empire national team, they said that rank advancement shouldn’t require as much time as expected. They say it’s thanks to someone’s incredibly outstanding play…”
As he said this, Almond glanced subtly at the camera.
-This concept today is relentless
Communication is so funny lol
That’s not it lol
I’m laughing so hard lol
“Most importantly, all the scrims I’ll be participating in going forward will be held under strict confidentiality with no public disclosure.”
-???
-Wait, for real?
-Then what about the broadcast?
-Ah, so that’s why…
“So we came to the conclusion: let’s just play one more game.”
Then he revealed the game list.
“I’ll take your votes.”
1. Jet Pumped!
2. Ril) Survival Battle or Blink Sword Story Mode
3. Kingdom Age Rosenitta Route
