[Title: Where did all those bastards who were unfairly criticizing Girls Memorial and Reverse Arcadia go, lololol?]
As you all know, Enson's image isn't great in Japan either.
I don't know why, but it feels like they hate them even more than we do.
So, it seems there were a lot of *guys* waiting for an opportunity.
When this incident broke out, they decided to 'destroy' them and directly ran a 2500 Pulls test, just like the game that had the Manipulation Controversy, and the results, lololol.
Girls Memorial came out exactly matching the announced Pickup Rate of 1.5%, and Reverse Arcadia even came out closer to 1.5%, higher than Henrietta's Limited Pickup Rate of 1%.
All those jerks who were saying 'Enson this and that, they're manipulating probabilities anyway,' go bow your heads, lolololol.

ㄴReal LOL
-Now that all those unfair critics who said 'How can you trust Enson?' have been cleared out, I feel so refreshed, lol.

012. They were so happy to criticize the game from *Big Brother's Country*'s Company, but it turns out only the game from *Big Brother's Country* is honest wwww
018. I admit the defeat of the inferior *Island Nation Wae-gu*, Japan wwwww
033. Where did all those *Net Right-Wingers* who were loudly claiming Enson games were definitely scams go wwwww
056. This is the worst.
094. As of today, the Mobile Game Industry has been conquered. Korea, *hyung*, is superior in games.

The reaction is almost like when Korea beat the Japan national team in an *International Competition*, lololololol.
It seems they genuinely thought Enson was also manipulating probabilities, lol.
But when they actually tested it, the results showed only Enson's games were clean without any issues, so they turned into the *Nation of Self-Deprecation*, lololol.
I'm not the type to get nationalistic over this, but seriously, what's up with Enson? Have they really come to their senses?

-It really feels like a different era, lolololol.
-Are all Japanese Mobile Games caught?
ㄴ ㄴㄴ Not all of them, but quite a few famous ones were caught.
ㄴ It's not official yet, but there seem to be a lot of famous games involved...

[Title: Breaking News) Reverse Arcadia's Pity System Discovered?!]
[Image summarizing Reverse Arcadia's Pity System]
First off, I don't fully understand it yet, but for those who don't know Japanese, I'll explain it roughly:
As everyone knows, Reverse Arcadia officially has no Pity System.
But after testing it this time, it seems they secretly put in a strange system.
As everyone knows, one 'truck' in Reverse Arcadia is 50 Pulls.
However, according to the Japanese *guys* who tested it, whether by coincidence or not, the probability of pulling a 3-Star Character seems to increase after 50 Pulls.
For example, Reverse Arcadia's base 3-star Probability is 2%, but after 50 Pulls, it reportedly increases by 2% per pull.
So, if you divide 100 by 2, it's 50, meaning even with the worst luck, you're guaranteed at least one 3-Star Character within 99 pulls.
Even more surprising is that even if you get a 'spook' (non-pickup character) at 99 pulls, after 200 Pulls, a Limited Pickup Character is guaranteed to appear.

As you can see from the statistics table, there are zero 'spooks' after 201 pulls.
This means if a 3-Star Character appears after 200 Pulls, it's guaranteed to be Henrietta, this time's Limited Pickup.
I really don't understand why EnsonGT and Ji Hojin hid this system.
Are they like, *a powerful person hiding their strength* or something?

-Seriously, why did these jerks hide this???
-No, seriously, this system actually existed? lololol
-No wonder everyone on Ri-gael who did over 200 Pulls got what they wanted.
-If this is really true, then he truly is *God Hojin* wowowow.
The community's atmosphere was distinctly different from a few days ago when it had flared up.
The data brought by Users from Japan was so clear that even those trying to unfairly criticize couldn't, and the burning public opinion was instantly suppressed.
Though, as the person directly involved, I didn't really think much of it.
Since I hadn't manipulated probabilities in the first place, it was only a natural outcome.
However, ending it like this felt slightly incomplete.
Even if we just stayed quiet, Sign Games would inevitably suffer an image blow, and our game would benefit in contrast... but still.
Ending such a significant opportunity with such a small return felt like a bit of a loss.
While I was thinking if there was another way, continuing my Community Monitoring, my Smartphone rang.
The Caller was Tanaka, as expected.
*I was going to call him anyway, so this works out.*
[Director, I called to see if everything was alright.]
“Here, well, it's so-so. How's the situation in Japan right now?”
[It's chaos here right now. The situation is escalating to a Legal Dispute, with talk of Prize Indication Law violations and such. Everyone is being cautious. How's Korea these days?]
“On our end, well... a few days ago, the fire spread to us too, but it quickly died down. The data from Japan was quite effective.”
[Ah, it seems that data spread to Korea too. I was surprised when I saw it. To do 2500 Pulls and collect it to create a sample, truly remarkable.]
“Indeed.”
[Anyway, we are innocent, so it seems we just need to wait for this to quietly pass.]
“Speaking of which, instead of waiting, how about we try this?”
I laid out my plan to Tanaka, who seemed flustered by the sudden proposal.
[Uh, so to summarize your words, Director... you mean you want to deal the maximum blow to Sign Games through a broadcast while the atmosphere is good like this?]
“That's right. This situation is definitely to our advantage, and it feels a bit regrettable if it just ends like this.”
[Hmm... the plan itself doesn't seem bad, but will you be alright? Live Broadcasts have the risk of Broadcast Accidents and are very different from recorded ones, so it might be tough if it's your first time.]
“That's fine. I have some experience.”
What I had just told Tanaka was certainly not a lie.
Even *Before Regression*, I actually had experience appearing on Live Broadcasts.
It was the experience of going on Live Broadcasts as the Company's Spokesperson while working at ND Soft *Before Regression*, communicating with Users about various things.
[If you say you're alright, Director... then a Live Broadcast requires various preparations, so I'll contact you again in a few days.]
“Thank you.”
After hanging up with Tanaka, a sigh escaped me naturally.
*After how many years... no, if I include After Regression, it's almost seven years.*
It was my first Live Broadcast in seven years, but instead of worry, only thoughts of how to deal the maximum blow to Sign Games swirled in my mind.
***
Three days later.
I visited the Live Studio located in the Enson Korea Headquarters with Tanaka.
The unexpected reason for visiting with Tanaka was... that the Employee from SFLAG who was supposed to help was Tanaka himself.
When I asked why he came himself when they said they'd send an Employee, he said,
“My Junior who was originally supposed to come here got enteritis...”
he apologized with an embarrassed expression, so I had no choice but to work with Tanaka.
Actually, I felt like I benefited from it, as Tanaka was more trustworthy than some inexperienced Employee.
Thus, preparing for the broadcast with Tanaka was smoother than expected.
It seemed he had prepared everything beforehand, as an Official Account for Reverse Arcadia had been created on the Streaming Site that would broadcast the live stream,
and Moderators to manage the chat quality during the Live Broadcast began entering the chatroom one by one.
“The Moderators will take care of most *Agitators*, so you shouldn't have much trouble during the broadcast.”
From Tanaka's perspective, it seemed he prepared this because he was worried I might have difficulty proceeding due to *Agitators* during the Live Broadcast...
Honestly, it didn't seem very useful.
Compared to the days *Before Regression*, when I was openly cursed at and even received *Death Threats* from *Middle-aged Men* due to an insane Monetization Structure...
the disruptive chats from Users enjoying Subculture at this point were quite cute.
Anyway, after finishing the Broadcast Preparation with Tanaka's help, I began preparing for the rehearsal.
However, this time the Studio Staff were the problem; they seemed to have little experience with Live Broadcasts, as they fumbled quite a bit.
If it were the 2020s *Before Regression*, it would be different, but since it's 2015 now, Live Broadcasts weren't yet mainstream, so I understand...
Nevertheless, with the Cooperation of Tanaka and the Studio Staff, the preparations were eventually completed, and the *Full-fledged* rehearsal began.
“Hello, Commanders, *everyone*! I am Ji Hojin, the Director of Reverse Arcadia.”
After offering a Greeting to the Users, I began the broadcast.
Looking at the camera in front of me, I spoke the lines from the script, occasionally glancing at the chat window on the laptop to read Users' chats and engage in *Communication*.
*Trying to multitask after so long, my brain felt like it wasn't keeping up.*
Finally, after finishing the rehearsal in a trance for 30 minutes, I exited the Studio, and Tanaka greeted me at the door.
“Good work.”
“Thank you. How was the rehearsal?”
“It was excellent. There were a few stumbles during *Communication* with the Users, but I think that can be ironed out with a bit more practice during rehearsal.”
Relieved that Tanaka said there were no issues, I let out a *Sigh of Relief* internally.
“Then, we'll proceed with the Live Broadcast as scheduled in two days.”
“Let's do that.”
After finishing our conversation, Tanaka began preparing for the rehearsal again.
Watching him, a thought suddenly occurred to me, and I asked Tanaka.
“Since this is our *First Broadcast*, how about we offer rewards, just like we did for the last open commemorative video?”
At my question, Tanaka seemed to ponder for a moment before nodding.
“That's a good idea. Are you planning to decide the reward items with a roulette again this time?”
“I think so.”
“Understood. Ah... and Director.”
Tanaka, who had called out to me mid-conversation, continued with a firm expression.
“You must not engage in *Roulette Manipulation* like last time.”
His expression was so firm that I couldn't help but nod.
*Of course, I was still going to do it.*
