Chapter 129 Rules for Changing Members
Cai Zhiyuan considered for a moment: "That's true, but I'm a pessimist. I think the games in the arcade will only become more and more dangerous."

"Evil copycats are often more unscrupulous, so they are bound to win."

"Okay, this is indeed controversial and uncertain, so we can leave it aside for now."

"But there is one point I must point out:"
"Even if the new world is indeed transformed by some well-intentioned copycats, and maintaining community diversity and actively embracing the vulnerable is more beneficial to our survival, so what?"

"The key question is whether this argument can convince others in the community?"
Would they agree to deliberately add unnecessary members for the purpose of "maintaining diversity"?
"Even if our community has the highest average IQ among all the communities we've encountered so far, who would complain about their community being too strong?"

Li Renshu and Cao Haichuan fell silent.

Clearly, Cai Zhiyuan's statement makes a lot of sense.

Maintaining diversity is important, but it's unlikely that most people in the community would prioritize it.

In other words, the community members will allow there to be fools in the community, and even don't mind helping them out in the game, but they will absolutely not agree to actively screen out a fool when recruiting new members.

Li Renshu and Cao Haichuan's concerns are valid, but they are not enough to convince enough people in the community.

If it's just a topic like "young doctors" or "older doctors," then perhaps the goal can be achieved through certain guidance and persuasive language.

However, when it comes to the issue of "smart people" or "stupid people," rhetoric doesn't play a significant role.

If Lee In-sook insists on using the reason of "maintaining diversity" to advance the bill, it will not only likely fail to pass, but will also seriously damage her current reputation.

For the first time, a major disagreement arose among the three members of the small group.

Li Renshu paused for a moment, then asked, "What would Attorney Lin think?"

Cai Zhiyuan said, "I asked him before I came, and he said it was fine, let us decide."

Lee In-sook got up and left: "There's still time, let's think about it carefully again."

……

……

The next morning.

Lin Sizhi was having breakfast in the lobby when suddenly a new notification appeared on the big screen.

According to the Arcade's statistics, the cumulative number of players expelled from the community has reached 30% of the original population. To accelerate the evolution of the community ecosystem, a brand new rule will be implemented:

In games involving any number of communities, you can "switch community members," which means kicking out an existing member while accepting a member from another community.

The specific rules are as follows:

[1. Kicking out a member of this community does not require the member's consent, but the removal must be approved unanimously by all other members of the community within the game, and the number of members must be at least 3.]

2. Players who are kicked out will be reassigned to other communities according to relevant rules after the game ends.

3. New members only need to agree to join this community; they are not restricted by their original communities.

[4. 'Changing community members' will be done covertly; verbal confirmation from the relevant player is sufficient for the change to take effect. However, please be cautious: once confirmed, the commitment will be locked at the game mechanics level, and the community cannot retract it. The new member will automatically return to the community when the game ends.]

5. Newly admitted members can withdraw within the game and may still be recruited by their original community or another community.

A moment later, the recruitment notice also appeared.

[There is a vacancy in this community. A new player will be added to fill the vacancy after 48 hours, becoming the new player number 8.]

[Prior to this, players can propose requirements regarding new players' age, gender, occupation, and other relevant factors.] [If you do not wish to have new players join, you can also propose a refusal.]

[A player receives 7 or more votes and will be formally submitted to the community. The community will then screen new players within a certain scope according to this requirement and include those who meet the criteria.]

Upon hearing the announcement, many players in the lobby spontaneously gathered around.

"Kick someone?" Upon seeing this rule, Fu Chen subconsciously frowned.

Cai Zhiyuan corrected, "It's not kicking someone, it's replacing someone."

"Judging from the description of this rule, the community can actively kick out dissatisfied players, and similarly, it can also try to poach excellent players from other communities."

"The purpose of this rule is to 'accelerate the evolution of the community ecosystem'."

Lee In-sook paid more attention to the mortality rate figures: "Is the average mortality rate in the community so far 30%? That's so high."
"So, on average, four people have died in each community?"

Cai Zhiyuan corrected her statement: "It is deportation, and the expiration of visa time should also count."

"Older players may only have ten days or so of visa time initially. If they only get the minimum visa time in 'Blood Poker' and fail to earn more from other games afterward, they should have already run out of visa time."

Jiang He was a little slow to realize: "What does 'accelerating the evolution of the community ecosystem' mean?"

Lee In-sook glanced at everyone and realized that it was best for her to explain the issue herself.

"Simply put, each community has different characteristics, and the systems established through the proposals are different, resulting in different ecosystems."

"For example, in the communities we've seen, Community 1 is a 'black shop' built around copycats, while Community 3 has completely equal distribution of profits and extremely emphasizes collectivism."

“Our community is not as extreme as Community 3, but we will still emphasize basic security and care for the vulnerable.”

"Of course, there are also communities that believe in survival of the fittest and prioritize efficiency above all else."

"The community originally had a relatively low turnover rate; new members were only recruited when someone died."

"Even if those extreme communities are dissatisfied with certain members, they are unlikely to pass a murder bill directly; they may be more inclined to let them fend for themselves."

"But after this substitution rule is updated, two scenarios may occur:"
"First, communities that want to kick out a member can do so by having that person participate in games with other communities through a three-in-one or four-in-one method, and then kick that person out."

"Secondly, in multi-community competitive games, the strategy of 'defection' can also be implemented."

"Originally, it would have been impossible to turn other community players against their own, because everyone would have to return to their original community after the game ended. If they betrayed their community, they would not be able to explain themselves when they returned, and would be isolated or even severely punished."

"Unless a betrayal can earn an astronomical sum like 500,000 or 1 million, betrayal is absolutely not worth it."

"But now, betrayers are more likely to be turned if they are certain that they will be accepted by other communities."

"Overall, this rule can help some communities achieve their ideal form more quickly."

"Imagine a community that emphasizes survival of the fittest. If there are 8 strong individuals and 4 weak individuals in the community, the original mechanism would only gradually eliminate these four individuals."

"But now, they can participate in the game using a three-to-one or four-to-one approach. As long as they find other strong players in the game who share the same community philosophy, they can try to poach people using this method while kicking out the weak ones."

"The process of transforming into an elite community will be accelerated significantly."

"Some weaker communities, or communities with serious ideological conflicts, may also experience a loss of talent."

"In other words, this rule encourages strong individuals to band together."
