God's imitator

Chapter 132 The Actuary

Although Li Renshu was slightly disappointed with the result, she had actually prepared herself mentally.

After all, Cai Zhiyuan had said before that if the vote were given to all members, it would be impossible to select a profession like farmer or worker, which seem to have no advantage in the game.

No matter how much Lee In-sook emphasizes the importance of "diversity", it won't work.

But for Lee In-sook, using a collective vote to decide on the community's new members and future fate at such a crucial juncture is a necessary process.

Whatever the result is, it is acceptable.

"The last one is age."

"Let's vote by different age groups."

"20 to 30 years old, um, 5 votes."

"30 to 40 years old, 7 votes."

"40 to 50 years old, 8 votes."

"What about those over 50? 4 votes."

"Then, if the number of voters is between 30 and 40, or between 40 and 50, they can vote again, choosing one of the two options."

"30 to 40, 5 votes."

"40 to 50, 9 votes."

This result surprised Lee In-sook somewhat, as she had originally thought that the majority of votes would come from young people.

But thinking back now, perhaps the previous discussions had a subtle influence.

Many people have previously emphasized the importance of knowledge structure, and actuaries need to conduct various surveys and data calculations, and the older they get, the more experience they gain.

From the perspective of discourse power, there is a difference between the professions of actuary and doctor.

People in the community may receive favors from doctors when they are injured, so the older the doctor is, the higher their prestige and the more influence they have within the community. This is an inevitable phenomenon.

However, actuaries are different; they are a support-oriented profession, and other members are unlikely to directly receive favors from them.

In this situation, older actuaries actually have less say.

Because Community 17 is, after all, a community dominated by young people.

Young actuaries thrive in this environment, which may lead to the previously mentioned issue of power distribution.

Adding to the diversity principle that Lee In-sook mentioned earlier, older actuaries can simultaneously optimize community diversity in terms of both age structure and knowledge structure.

Many people naturally tend to favor the option of older actuaries.

Of course, you can't be too old either; many people consider 40 to be the best choice.

Li Renshu didn't say anything more and got up to submit the proposal.

[Proposal: Recruit new female actuaries aged 40 to 50]

[In favor: 8 votes]

[Against: 3 votes]

[New Candidates - Female actuaries aged 40 to 50 who have passed the vote will be screened by the community within a certain scope according to these requirements, and new players who meet the relevant criteria will be included.]

With the dust settled, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Lee In-sook felt relieved. Although this was not the best outcome she had hoped for, it was still perfectly acceptable.

Most importantly, this is a completely fair group decision, so whether the decision is right or wrong, all members are jointly responsible.

"Okay, just like when we recruited Dr. Zheng, regardless of whether everyone agrees with the selection of this new member, we hope that everyone can welcome this new member with an open and inclusive mindset."

"Everyone has worked hard. Let's rest well and wait for the arrival of the new members!" After saying that, Lee In-sook stood up from her seat.

The others also stood up.

"Everyone has worked hard!"

"Renshu, you've worked so hard. You've been so busy lately, take a good rest!"

Most people are satisfied with this result.

Soon, everyone dispersed.

Cai Zhiyuan did not leave immediately. After everyone else had left, he said to Lin Sizhi thoughtfully, "Lawyer Lin, have you noticed something?"
"The time for recruitment."

Lin Sizhi looked at him: "You mean, it changed from 24 hours to 48 hours?"

Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes. When recruiting Dr. Zheng, Youlang gave us 24 hours, so we had an emergency discussion to finalize the candidate. I remember it very clearly."

"But this time it became 48 hours."

Does this mean that the interval between recruiting new members will be lengthened every time a member is lost?

"If it's just an extra 24 hours each time, then it's fine."

"But if the time doubles or even increases exponentially each time, then there may be a situation in the future where there are long periods of vacancy in the community."

What would happen in this situation?

Lin Sizhi considered for a moment: "There are only three possibilities."

"The first possibility is that it will be left blank."

"A high death rate indicates a weaker community, so they should accept the disadvantage of having fewer people in a multiplayer game and complete the survival of the fittest more quickly."

"The second possibility is that they actively poach people."

"For example, in some games with 4 to 6 players, if 4 people enter, it might be allowed to dig out one other community member and 5 people return."

"The third possibility is that he was forcibly stuffed into the corridor."

According to the latest player replacement rules, players who are kicked out of their original community will be "assigned to other communities in accordance with relevant rules".

"If other communities happen to be short of players and this player meets the requirements, then of course everyone is happy."

"But this possibility is not high."

"Because the players who get kicked out are most likely to be weak, and they shouldn't have any special characteristics in terms of their profession."

"Therefore, the players who are kicked out may be forced into some communities that are short of players, even if these communities do not want them."

Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

"Or, there might be a fourth possibility: a forced merger."

"For example, if one community has only 7 people left and another community has only 5 people left, they may be forcibly merged together."

"It shouldn't be like that in the early stages, but since there will be a delay in recruiting new players, if more players die in the future, this situation may occur."

Lin Sizhi asked, "Do you agree with the results of this recruitment?"

Cai Zhiyuan considered for a moment: "Although it is not my top choice, it is a second best choice."

"But this situation is different from Dr. Zheng's. For the purpose of maintaining community stability, we still need to investigate carefully."

The two said nothing more and got up to leave.

……

……

The next morning.

The crowd spontaneously gathered in the hall, glancing expectantly towards the entrance.

A prompt message appeared on the large screen.

[The new player's visa application has been approved, and they will automatically be added as the new player number 8.]

Please guide new players to join and familiarize them with the relevant community rules to avoid violations.

The community is full and has automatically closed; no new players will be accepted.

Hearing the notification tone, everyone cheered.

"coming!"

At the entrance to the community, a woman with long, center-parted hair and huge round-framed glasses was frowning as she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.

Everyone looked at Fu Chen, who was originally in charge of accepting new members.

After a moment's consideration, Fu Chen said to Li Renshu, "This time it's a female member, so you should go."

Lee In-sook didn't refuse and extended her hand to the new member: "Hello, this is Community 17. My name is Lee In-sook. It's nice to meet you."

The long-haired woman looked Li Renshu up and down warily, then slowly extended her hand and shook hands with her: "Luo Wei."

Li Renshu stepped aside and led her to the hall: "You must have a lot of questions right now. Come in, and we'll explain it to you slowly."
