Ok, so I was just meandering around Twitch, and I ended up looking at the directory of Lineage: The Blood Pledge, which I thought was just a really really old MMO.

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Lineage: The Blood Pledge

Something is going on here...there are a few hundred Korean viewers watching....um....not sure.

It looks like the streamers have some sort of spreadsheet programs open, some percentages are moving a little to music....and uh, ingame there is like a big crowd of people standing around, sometimes dogs fighting? Uh....orcs runnning a race? Nobody seems to be actually playing the game.

The google translate keeps mentioning "genealogy"? Virtual dog breeding?

If I had to guess it looks like people are maybe gambling on some kind of weird ingame events in a game from 1998, but I'm madly curious. Am I right? Why? Is it legal? What are all the spreadsheets?

In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Clearly they are attempting to create the Kwisatz Haderach.

Don't practice until you can get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

Digital gambling on a game from 1998? How the hell? This is fascinating.

Also the "genealogy" I'm assuming is just how google translates 족보 which also means Lineage. So another way to say Lineage (genealogy is sort of the study of lineage)

Lineage is translated to genealogy by google translate, makes sense. But could you tell me please, what's with the spreadsheets? How exactly does the gambling work? It's all electronic so there is no guarantee that it isn't fixed. And why are people streaming themselves gambling?

I can read some of it. They're gambling for ingame currency 'Aden' which makes it probably legal (although I imagine there are websites where you can trade it for real money). It seems like there are only three outcomes for the races on the spreadsheet 'good', 'normal' and 'bad'.
I guess they trust the game engine to randomize the results so that it can't be fixed? Anyway fun stuff.

Online gambling is restricted by the Korean government, so people often try to find workarounds in a variety of ways. Here it's very likely using an ingame currency which may potentially be swapped out for real money later on. The spreadsheets I imagine are just showing statistics and information so far, (as in how Roulette at a Casino displays past results)

The streamer I assume is the person hosting the event for the gamblers, the stream watchers, who will participate through twitch channel commands. The whole thing will operate sort of like Saltybet or something along those lines.

As for how to guarantee it's not fixed, or how reliable Lineage is as a gambling medium, I have absolutely no idea as I've never played it. But if there's a lot of 'money' exchanging hands they have probably found a way to assure participants

Go watch a Saltybet stream and you'll see how it probably works : )
