Chapter 283 The Controversial Vote

After considering it carefully for a moment, Wei Yinzhang said, "Perhaps we can try to bypass the rules and give it another shot?"
"From the current perspective, the community's definition of 'community fund' is indeed very strict."

"First, this money must not be at the disposal of an individual; it must be at the disposal of other people in the community."

"Second, the deposit and withdrawal of the 'community fund' must be risky and subject to losses."

"Perhaps we could try having several players divided into different groups or teams to jointly manage a fund, with each player depositing and withdrawing funds individually."

Players can choose to form a group with the people they trust most to prevent others from taking the visa time they have deposited.

"Or we could try increasing the interest rate on deposits and withdrawals, and perhaps once it reaches a certain level, the community will allow it."

Wang Yongxin shook his head: "I don't really agree with this plan."

"Because there is no fundamental difference, and it may even cause other problems."

Clearly, even if this method works, it will only exacerbate the tendency to band together.

Players will form deposit and withdrawal groups with players who are already close and trusting, and over time, more distinct cliques will emerge.

Most importantly, racking one's brains to help other players save without losing money is not conducive to the growth of the number of funds in the community, nor is it in the interest of the five-person group.

After considering it, Lee In-sook said, "Then let's proceed with the vote."

"Everyone should just vote according to their true feelings."

"If you think this plan is necessary, then vote in favor."

"If you think this plan will make you uncomfortable, then vote against it."

"If the proposal is rejected, we will continue to use the previous rules."

Everyone nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's vote then."

Li Renshu returned to the community management office to submit the proposal again, and this time, the proposal was passed.

[A player proposed a motion, which has been approved by the community.]

[For the next hour, all players are requested to conduct an anonymous vote at the Community Management Office or on their personal computers.]

If the bill receives more than half the votes, it will be implemented as a foundational rule.

[Proposal 1: Add supplementary rules (progressive tax rate) for the "Community Security Fund".]

【社区玩家从游戏中获得的签证时间并上缴『社区保障基金』时，将采取累进税率：2万~4万的部分缴纳5%，4万~6万的部分缴纳10%，6万以上的部分缴纳15%。】

[Proposal 2: Reduce the rules for the "Community Support Fund".]

The rule that "once the Community Support Fund exceeds 10, every additional 12 will be equally returned to all players" has been cancelled.

[Proposal 3: Add 'Fund Withdrawal Rules'.]

[1. When a player's remaining visa time is less than 5, they can withdraw visa time from the 'Community Support Fund' and 'Luxury Fund' according to the following formula: '(Visa time paid by the player / Total visa time paid by the player × Current remaining visa time in the fund × 90%), without needing the consent or authorization of others.]

2. This amount is fixed and can only be withdrawn once. After withdrawal, the contribution value will be reset to zero. The visa processing time will be recalculated upon subsequent deposits.

After submitting the submission, Li Renshu returned to the lobby.

"I have divided this plan into three different proposals for submission. Everyone can decide which proposal to pass based on the situation."

"Proposal 1 is that future game revenue will be subject to a progressive tax rate."

"Proposal 2 is to cancel the rule on returning the Community Security Fund, and Proposal 3 is to increase the rule on fund withdrawals."

"You can think of Proposal 2 and Proposal 3 as bundled rules, which means that the original plan of 'average return' has been replaced by the 'free withdrawal' plan."

"To reiterate, these rules do not change the nature of the two funds. The 'Guarantee Fund' is still subject to mandatory tax withholding, while the 'Luxury Goods Fund' is still subject to voluntary donations."

"Everyone should decide whether to deposit their visa time based on their own circumstances. Of course, for players with shorter visa durations, the changes to the 'Guarantee Fund' are more significant: previously, withdrawals were not allowed, but now a portion of the taxes already paid can be withdrawn."

Clearly, no consensus was reached quickly on the proposed solution. The one-hour countdown on the big screen continued to tick as the players pondered their options.

After a while, people started getting up and heading towards the 'Community Management Office'.

The voting was not completed until there were only 10 minutes left in the one-hour countdown.

Voting is complete.

[Next, the results of the secret ballot will be announced.]

[Proposal 1: Add supplementary rules (progressive tax rate) for the "Community Security Fund".]

[In favor: 11 votes]

[Against: 0 votes]

The supplementary rules (progressive tax rates) for the Community Security Fund have been established.

[Proposal 2: Reduce the rules for the "Community Support Fund".]

[In favor: 8 votes]

[Against: 3 votes]

The rule to reduce the "Community Support Fund" has been established.

[Proposal 3: Add 'Fund Withdrawal Rules'.]

[In favor: 7 votes]

[Against: 4 votes]

The new "Fund Withdrawal Rules" have been established.

Seeing this result, the players in the lobby remained calm, and there was no small-scale cheering as before.

Clearly, this was an expected result, but not everyone was comfortable or satisfied with it.

The five-person group already has five votes. At the same time, Wang Yongxin also has two votes tied to Yang Yuting and Xu Tong. Other players in the community, such as Zheng Jie or Zhou Guifen, will most likely agree with Li Renshu's decision.

Of course, since it is a secret ballot, some players will still vote against it to express their true feelings.

However, since there is no influential opposition within the community, it is ultimately impossible to gather enough dissenting votes.

In any case, the new plan eventually became part of the community rules.

After considering for a moment, Lee In-sook said, "I understand that everyone may have some doubts about this plan, but it is the best plan we can think of at the moment."

"We'll run it for a while first, and if we find any problems, we can fix them in time."

"In addition, there is no need for everyone to worry. We are still a community that takes care of the vulnerable as much as possible. We do not encourage the vulnerable to blindly donate their visa time to the 'luxury fund'. As we always say, do what you can afford."

Wang Yongxin then stated: "Since I proposed this motion, I naturally bear direct responsibility."

"As I've said before, I think carrying around 5 to 8 visas is enough. Carrying too many might actually put you at a disadvantage in games where visa time is calculated as a percentage."

"Therefore, I will deposit all of my visa time, which is more than 8."

"Of course, this only represents my personal opinion."

After Wang Yongxin finished speaking, he went to the vending machine and made the donation.

When he checked the time last time, he still had more than 24 yuan left. Now he chose to donate 16 yuan of the visa time directly to the "Luxury Goods Fund".
