Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 211

Episode 211: New Issues

January 8, Sunday.

This day had significant meaning for the Pangea TV Virtual Panel.

First off, it was the deadline for applications for the new member audition for Prika.

For Hakkoh virtual streamers who could not join Lena World, this audition opportunity could be considered a ray of hope.

In fact, the previous Ugaidol audition did not have a large number of applicants, and one could not even say the quality was very good.

Originally, Sayoh announced the Ugaidol audition plan quite suddenly, and at that time, there weren’t many virtual streamers who had transferred.

Moreover, not all of those transfer students applied for the Ugaidol audition.

With such a small number of participants selected as successful candidates, it was objectively lacking.

However, the situation has now changed considerably.

Thanks to the Ugaidol audition, Prika gained recognition to the point of making a name even with the neighboring LebitTV.

Naturally, the news of the new member audition went viral much more strongly than before.

As a result, not only the individuals who had already transferred to Pangea TV but also many talented individuals made the decision to transfer for this new member audition.

The talent pool was significantly more impressive than during the previous audition.

Can Sayoh really pick out the jewels from among them?!

Boom! 2023 Sayoh’s choice, coming soon!

Anyway, I could only watch with my arms crossed from afar.

There was a second issue as well.

Yuseona, who prepared ‘Suna Land’ to compete against Lena World.

Although recruitment had not yet closed, she was raising anticipation by showing off her gameplay on a Minecraft server produced on her own stream.

Could Suna Land possibly become a refuge for virtual streamers who could not enter Lena World?

There was certainly potential for that.

Initially, Lena World was prepared on a small scale for Mercury (Lena Universe) and had limitations on the number of participants and server operation, so it could only increase its numbers by 2-3 each week timidly.

On the other hand, Suna Land had Yuseona investing heavily in server costs.

From the start, it was deemed possible to accommodate at least 1.5 times the number of participants compared to Lena World.

However, the problem was that the recognition was too low.

Of course, Yuseona had been an established mid-level streamer who had been active on Pangea TV for a long time, but there were not just one or two big company streamers in Lena World.

In terms of recognition, there was no comparison with Suna Land.

Yuseona was anxiously wondering if she could bring in Wangko or Mr. NS and even contacted them.

However, the response was negative.

If they had reached out first, it might have been different, but both Wangko and Mr. NS were already leading a company in Lena World.

Now, would they abandon that to join Suna Land?

It would not only be morally questionable but also the existing fandom for that company would not stand idly by.

No matter how big the company streamer, they cannot go against public sentiment.

Ultimately, realizing the seriousness of the situation, Yuseona urgently contacted Jamst and Sayoh.

She had developed a close friendship with Jamst through several content collaborations.

Sayoh was even more than that; she had lent money to her when her financial situation became difficult recently.

Jamst replied that he’d participate if his schedule allowed, while Sayoh was almost a sure thing.

If it were the big company streamer Jamst and big mid-level streamer Sayoh, it wouldn’t be a bad start.

Yuseona didn’t stop there and expanded her vision to Star Plate.

There were many Battlegrounds and League of Legends streamers among those who entered Lena World, but there were none active in Star Plate.

After the Starcraft peak era, the only big company streamer who remained in Star Plate was Baekgu, but there were many sizable mid-level streamers.

If even three or four of them joined, they would have a lineup that could compete well against Lena World.

Of course, this calculation did not include Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.

At the same time, what pleased Yuseona was that many virtual streamers from the Mercury (Lena Universe) crew applied to join Suna Land.

In fact, the virtual streamers from the Mercury crew had already seen a significant decline in stature.

While they gained much popularity during the early days of Pangea TV Virtual Panel, fans had started leaving one by one due to ongoing uncomfortable issues and conflicts.

Nevertheless, the existence of Mercury crew virtual streamers alone brought joy to Yuseona.

They had a very uncomfortable relationship with Lena Land.

By incorporating that Mercury into Suna Land and continuously creating various issues, Yuseona was certain that Lena Land would have to pay attention to them.

Having rolled with many female streamers over eight years on Pangea TV, Yuseona had developed a keen sense in this regard.

The server war was being intensely prepared beneath the surface.

What would the outcome be?

***

Our V-Live Crew has a group chat for smooth communication.

Recently, a group chat specifically for V-Live Company was also created.

Due to the similar names, there had been instances of mistakenly uploading image files.

Ahem, that’s just a joke.

Anyway, that day, we shared our opinions in the group chat.

The agenda was about the number of personnel in the company.

Should we recruit one more member?

Or should we proceed as we are?

Honestly, it was a difficult decision for me to make.

After all, the very existence of V-Live Company was a product of the butterfly effect that had not existed in pre-return Lena World.

Seoa: [First of all, if we talk about advantages, more people mean there will be more activities in the server. The variety of what we can show to viewers will also increase.]

Mayo: [Then wouldn’t it be beneficial to recruit one more person?]

Seoa: [Of course, there are drawbacks too. If the number increases, each individual’s level of attention may decrease. To be blunt, Candy sponsorship might go down compared to now.]

Miho: [It’s a tough issue.]

When it comes to income, it can always be a sensitive topic, so it should be addressed openly and straightforwardly.

In such situations, the leader might make a unilateral decision, but I wanted the attitudes of the cooperative company staff to be more voluntary, so I wanted to discuss openly.

Supniti: [I’m against it for now. I think the current number is sufficient. Plus, I don’t see anyone we could recruit right away.]

Miho: [It’s definitely ambiguous. There are still very few individuals without an affiliated company. However, to be honest, I don’t see much merit in recruiting someone.]

Lucy: [What about Park Nana? She’s famous and streams well.]

Seoa: [Sister Nana would be difficult. She’s almost half a member of Akatsuki by now, right? She’ll probably join soon.]

Everyone exchanges opinions.

Initially, Han A-yeon and the newbie Na-roshi, who were just observing, later participated actively, making it a constructive meeting where they shared their thoughts honestly.

‘Everyone’s viewpoint and thoughts seem to be fundamentally similar after all.’

Opinions gradually started to converge.

Seeing that, I unconsciously nodded my head.

Overall, there was a consensus supporting the idea of adding one more person.

The problem, however, was that there were no suitable talents among the current members in the server.

In some ways, this was to be expected.

Each company would prioritize recruiting capable individuals.

Those who were filtered out and left would certainly have deficiencies.

‘It’s unfortunate, but it doesn’t fit our company, which aims for a small elite group.’

So the conclusion drawn was to keep the door for recruitment open.

However, there was no intention to recruit someone right now.

If additional players come into the server and they seem suitable, then it wouldn’t be too late to open the doors wide then.

Seoa: [Then shall we keep it this way? Let’s decide in a similar way at our meeting tomorrow. And don’t forget to each find a landmark to present. I’ll have everyone present briefly.]

Mayo: [I already thought of an awesome idea! It’s the Summoner’s Rift Landmark!]

Miho: [Oh! That sounds good. I’ll present that first.]

Mayo: [I’m going to absolutely sink my teeth into it.]

Lucy: [Mayo, be nice. Don’t use such bad words.]

Supniti: [Haha, you all have a great camaraderie.]

Today’s short discussion wraps up with lively chatter.

Tomorrow finally marks the first official meeting of V-Live Company.
