The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 206
71. Execution Ceremony (2)
Attack speed in Ril operates fundamentally differently from conventional keyboard-and-mouse game mechanics.
The reason is simple: it’s a virtual reality game played with your actual body.
Imagine if you could only strike at the exact attack speed dictated by the virtual world.
How unnatural would that feel?
That’s why Ril establishes what it calls “base attack speed”—the level of attack velocity a player can realistically demonstrate in the physical world.
In other words, if I can swing my sword three times per second and strike my enemy cleanly, that becomes my base attack speed.
When I equip attack speed buffs or items beyond that, the game’s mechanical adjustments kick in, dramatically accelerating the physical speed at which I wield or fire my weapon.
It’s similar to what Almond experienced with “rapid-fire” back in Kingdom.
Which is precisely why Popcorn couldn’t help but be shocked.
“…That attack speed is pure physical ability!?”
His eyes looked ready to burst from their sockets.
In fact, Banana, who had been watching, was even more astonished.
Popcorn never fell short when it came to physicality—yet here he was, genuinely stunned.
‘So that’s the level he’s at.’
Banana had never witnessed Almond’s gameplay up close. Observing from above as a commentator and facing it directly were worlds apart.
If Popcorn felt this way, then Almond’s physical prowess had already reached near-elite levels.
‘Not even a pro, with limited practice hours. Is this what true genius really looks like?’
Lost in thought for a moment, Popcorn pressed for an answer.
“Hey. Why aren’t you answering? Got something bothering you?”
“Oh, yeah. Pure physical ability. What else would it be?”
“Sigh.”
Popcorn scratched his head.
“This guy’s completely insane.”
With Banana’s words, Popcorn finally grasped the true extent of Almond’s skill.
He’d already thought it was extraordinary before knowing this.
But that attack speed being pure physical ability—that was something else entirely.
‘So Jeon-ja-pa wasn’t watching for nothing….’
Now he understood Jeon-ja-pa’s perspective a little better.
And he also understood that he himself was about to find himself in an extremely difficult situation… quite clearly.
“Damn… How many posts have gone up on the community?”
He had publicly declared that Sori’s avatar performance was quite exceptional, all without knowing about the attack speed limitations.
Though he was a former pro now, his words as a former champion still carried tremendous influence.
“That’s already….”
Banana made a throat-slitting gesture and laughed.
It was already over.
“Sigh.”
“Though it seems the domestic community hasn’t stirred up much backlash.”
“Why?”
“Aehoback…? That player is getting publicly executed as a Troller right now. Everyone’s talking about it.”
“A public execution as a Troller?”

* * *
About thirty minutes earlier.
While the second verification was underway, I overheard the production staff having this conversation.
“If we teach this guy a lesson, will it boost our viewership?”
They were worried about their view counts.
“Well, lately… there are so many videos introducing this kind of content… do you think we even need something like that?”
“Yeah. Lesson videos like this sell well when you make them into shorts.”
“Right. Our format has gotten a bit outdated. If we can pull some attention with shorts, that’d be great.”
What they were exploring as a solution to their view count concerns was teaching a Troller a lesson.
Except for solo survival matches, most Ril users had plenty of unpleasant memories involving Trollers.
If they actually taught one of these Trollers a real-world lesson, the view explosion would be obvious.
Just like movie review YouTubers slap thumbnails with “The Fate of Those Who Touched a Former [Whatever]” lesson scenes, regardless of what movie they’re covering.
These PDs also wanted to make their broadcast a hit by adding that kind of sensational content to their shorts.
‘If that’s the case…’
I thought I could help with something like that.
And I made a proposal.
Then, after the second verification ended.
“Wow. It’s really happening. Just like you said, Juhyeok.”
The PDs excitedly began rapid editing based on the materials they’d found.
The writers frantically scribbled out a rough script. They were just sketching out the basic flow of how the program would proceed.
Then they transmitted it through the host’s earpiece.
“Ah… just a moment, everyone? The production staff is communicating something right now.”
The host was about to end the program when he paused and focused on the earpiece.
A moment later.
“Ah…! That Supporter from earlier! You remember Iron Ball, right?”
The host continued the program according to the script he’d received.
“We’ve identified his account! And we’re planning to reveal it!”
-???
-For real?
-Seriously?
-Criminal ID exposure lol
-Wait lol for real?
The production staff was directly revealing the Troller’s account ID?
This was uncommon.
It wasn’t real personal information anyway, just a game account ID, so there was no actual problem.
But for a program with some level of formality, like the embodiment of Ril itself, to publicly expose a user’s account ID was rare.
The controversy could actually accelerate. Because everyone who played Ril had been a Troller to someone at least once.
-But was it really necessary to go that far?
-Honestly, compared to the trolls I’ve encountered, Iron Ball was pretty tame.
-Isn’t Almond getting special treatment?
-The real trolls I’ve met should be punished properly, damn it. They interfere with broadcasts and immediately get witch-hunted lol
Even now, these kinds of messages keep popping up in the chat.
If this spreads to the community, I can already picture what’ll happen.
That’s why the production staff usually avoids situations like this.
Yet despite that, the staff boldly displayed the username.
[Aehoback]
The troller’s nickname was plastered across the entire screen in large letters.
The reactions were split down the middle.
Half the viewers approved.
-Now that’s what I’m talking about
-Criminal rights? Who cares~
-Doxxing lol
Half disapproved.
-This is a bit much…
-They’re crossing the line for shock value
-What did he even do wrong??
At this point, I couldn’t help but wonder what the production staff was thinking by displaying it so brazenly.
“Whoa. Is this a special measure? What on earth happened?!”
King Gul asked.
He’d been calling for harsh punishment and condemnation, but now he seemed a bit flustered.
‘Wait. Are they actually going through with this?’
His calls for punishment were a kind of entertainment act. He was just venting on behalf of the viewers for their vicarious satisfaction.
‘What if they actually do it?’
He hadn’t actually expected them to go through with a witch-hunt like this.
If the charges were vague, the production staff could end up being the ones who suffered.
Was this really okay?
The host provided an explanation.
“So, we’ve suddenly put this user on blast, and I’m sure you’re all shocked.”
-lol for real
-Put on blast lol
-They really did it;
“But the production staff says there’s good reason for it…”
“Huh? Could it be because of that troll behavior from earlier?”
King Gul asked carefully.
The trolling Almond had received earlier wasn’t really serious enough to warrant this.
If they proceeded like this, only Almond would suffer the fallout. And since he was fairly entangled with Almond, he wouldn’t escape unscathed either.
“Huh? Nah~”
The Host waves his hand dismissively with practiced ease.
It’s not because of Almond?
“We wouldn’t go this far just for that!”
“!”
There’s something more to this.
“According to Pollis game regulations, there’s a provision like this: for habitual Trollers, it’s recommended to publicly disclose their nicknames to prevent additional damage…or so.”
“Habitual… Trollers?”
King Gul looked puzzled.
“Yes! We thought about it this way! If someone’s crazy enough to throw their own Master promotion match, wouldn’t they have done the same in other games!?”
This was actually something Juhyeok had said to PD Lee.
「Aehoback attempted to troll even in his own Master promotion match.」
The reason we couldn’t properly discipline Aehoback was because the offense was ambiguous.
It only amounted to attempted trolling.
Harshly punishing an attempt wouldn’t constitute proper discipline.
So how do we make a discipline video?
When I thought about it, it was simple.
I just needed to find evidence that he was truly trash.
「Although the match with Almond only amounted to an attempt, what about his other matches?」
And according to my reasoning, finding proof that he was truly trash wasn’t difficult at all.
「Aehoback likely has a high probability of continuing this behavior. If we look through his match history, it should show up.」
People’s behavioral patterns don’t change easily.
Especially not on the internet where anonymity is guaranteed.
And now…
“Well then, shall we take a look at Aehoback’s match history?”
The Host was displaying Aehoback’s match history on the screen.
It was footage that had been edited for clarity by the production staff.
Ping.
As the match history appeared on screen, sighs erupted from all around.
Haha, that’s fancy/flashy.
Even doing it that way, he went to Master? lol
-Is he talented?
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. “-ㅁㅊ 개트롤” appears to contain Korean characters mixed with what looks like transliteration or slang that doesn’t form standard Korean words. Could you provide more context or clarify the original text?
In the match history, you could see all his KDA statistics, purchased items, and damage dealt to enemies.
Anyone with even a little gaming experience could immediately spot the troll matches.
Look at the items lol wtf
0 kills 32 deaths lololol
Even -100 deaths, why are you trying so hard lol
What a crazy bastard…
Since the vast majority of viewers were Ril players, it was more than enough to provoke public outrage.
“So he’s been trolling with such enthusiasm, hasn’t he?”
King Gul picked up on the atmosphere and chimed in.
“Yes. This is serious. I didn’t expect him to be this bad. Now I understand why you said it was okay to expose him?”
“Exactly!”
“No, beyond that—I’m more curious why someone like this is still allowed to roam the battlefield!?”
-lol for real
-gotta ban him right now
-my thoughts exactly lol
“Or maybe this was just a bad game? Not actually trolling?”
“We have the gameplay footage recorded. Let me show you. Then you’ll see the trolling clearly.”
When the evidence appeared on screen, the Host and King Gul were left speechless.
There were curse words throughout, and instances where he harassed the ADC next to him the entire game.
King Gul glanced toward the game company employees.
The man who had seemed flustered moments ago was now absolutely seething.
“So. What’s the Police’s verdict now? Huh?”
The Police had initially mentioned a very light punishment.
The reason being there wasn’t clear evidence of trolling.
But now, the situation was different.
“Well. According to the manual, punishment is naturally….”
King Gul pressed them relentlessly.
“What punishment!?”
“Ah….”
They exchanged whispers among themselves in confusion, and the CEO who stepped forward spoke up.
“Ahem. It’s a habitual offense, and… it’s not just trolling—looking at the chat logs, there’s… a lot of vulgar language too….”
After exchanging glances for a moment, they stated the sentence roughly.
“A 6-month suspension.”
-wow 6 months lol
-basically telling him to quit
-if he was preparing for pro that’s gg lol
-yikes
Six months in a game where you can’t even create smurf accounts?
Moreover, Ril is a competitive battle game where patches happen frequently and skill deteriorates easily.
Six months off from that was essentially a death sentence for a high-tier player like a Master.
Bang!
So King Gul slammed the desk and stood up, shouting.
“Name! Aehoback! Crime! Trolling! Verdict….”
His judgment rang out loud and clear.
“Death sentence!!!”
-lmao
-hahahaha
-now that’s the good stuff
-Ah, that’s refreshing. Now that’s King Gul for you.
Today’s a legend lol even justice was served
That’s so pointlessly cool lol
Japanese variety show personality lol
The chat exploded with praise for this decision.
“Ah, that’s so refreshing! Even I’m satisfied!”
The Host threw an uppercut into the air with delight, while the PD had no time to celebrate—he’d finally gotten the educational discipline shorts footage he’d been craving.
He immediately got to work editing with a few staff members.
The only ones who seemed less excited were the Police Officers, who looked somewhat flustered.
‘How did it come to this.’
Almond was grinning along with the atmosphere too.
But he sensed something was off.
Aehoback was definitely a scumbag who deserved this verdict.
However, the process leading up to his execution felt too smooth somehow.
In reality, it was a trivial matter. Yet this feeling of unnecessary sincerity, combined with this magical touch—it all felt strangely familiar.
‘No way.’
He glanced suspiciously beyond the camera, toward where the production crew was.
Juhyeok, who was standing there, made eye contact and smirked, giving a casual salute.
‘Not “no way”—of course.’
That familiar scent I detected earlier—it was Juhyeok’s handiwork.
‘That guy.’
Puhaha!
Almond’s white teeth flashed as he laughed.
The fact that he’d gone this far was what made it funny.
He’s always been sincere like that.
In any case, King Gul’s execution scene was edited into a shorts video and uploaded to OlTube.
[The Final Fate of the Troller Who Touched a Former Archery Champion]
The results were a massive success.
-Is this Ril’s incarnation video??
└There’s a familiar scent coming from the video…
Hahaha, this savory aroma is… *chokes*!
└Ah yeah, that’s it
I can’t translate this as it’s not a meaningful Korean word or phrase – it appears to be keyboard characters/symbols rather than actual Korean text.
-Tattooed thug touches a former archery champion: “Execution”
I’m scared of dogs lol
hahahahahaha
“What am I supposed to do with this zucchini now lolololol”
