God's imitator

Chapter 316 Two Influences
This question caused everyone to fall silent.

Fu Chen thought for a moment and said first, "We can't say for sure that there are three S-class copycats right now. It's also possible that these three S-class games were made by the same person?"

After considering for a moment, Wei Yinzhang said, "We cannot rule out the possibility that 'a copycat has created multiple S-class games,' but it's better for us to avoid thinking about it that way as much as possible."

"If we assume that these three S-class games were all made by the same copycat, it means something terrible: the entire arcade's ecosystem is out of balance."

"This copycat can save people or kill people whenever he wants, and he can frequently create various S-level games. While other copycats may not even be selected even if they try to guess the questions, he can almost monopolize the design rights of all the games in the arcade."

"If that's really the case, then we might as well stop calling him a copycat and just call him a divine divination master."

"Considering this possibility would only interfere with our judgment."

"Therefore, it would be more appropriate to consider this from three people."

Zheng Jie thought about it seriously: "It must be a good thing, right?"
"In any case, judging from the values ​​expressed in 'Simple Q&A,' this copycat is clearly biased towards 'order' and 'justice.'"

"Like an introductory chapter."

"Although this copycat didn't directly enter the game like the original author and allocate visa time to the weaker players, there was still some favoritism and consideration in the rules of the game."

"At least, the method of using a mechanism that violates one's conscience to interrogate others is only feasible in communities with relatively positive values."

"Moreover, this game will have a far-reaching impact on the ecosystem of various communities in the future."

"Communities that are used to selling out their teammates in games to earn visa time, and communities that deliberately abandon the vulnerable, should think twice before doing so again. They should consider whether they will encounter similar 'heart-wrenching' problems in future games, which could lead to the collapse of their community status."

"This is a limitation for communities like the 12th and 15th communities."

Wang Yongxin shook his head: "I don't think so."

"This inference may be too optimistic."

"Although judging from the situation in this game, this kind of 'heart-piercing question' that uses the corridor's insincere mechanism is very powerful, I think that this situation is very difficult to be effective."

"Wang Weidong's case is likely a special case."

"To achieve this goal, three conditions need to be met simultaneously:"
"First, Wang Weidong is a core player in the community, but he has not established a one-man rule;
"Secondly, the community where Wang Weidong lives is relatively strong, and the visa processing time is relatively long, so it can withstand this loss."
"Third, although Wang Weidong has been secretly doing bad things, he still needs to maintain the most basic decency and morality within the community."

"If any of these three conditions are not met, this plan may not be effective."

"When the community's ecology deteriorates to a certain extent, this kind of 'questioning the heart' will no longer be effective."

"For example, let's assume that Community 15 has become Wang Weidong's personal fiefdom. By controlling the middle-level players, he has formed a perfect pyramid structure and become the absolute core of power."

"So, would he still be afraid of such a 'heart-piercing question'?"

"There's a high probability that we won't be afraid."

"Because he could simply tell the other players in the community: Yes, I admit it, I want to sell you all for gold coins, but so what? Can you resist me?"

Fu Chen was somewhat surprised: "Is it really that bad? Does that mean the other players in the community won't resist?"

“They can at least gather seven votes.” Wang Yongxin shook his head: “A majority without organization doesn’t count as a majority. When the votes in the players’ hands cannot form a combined force, they simply cannot gather seven votes; they will only become individual votes.”

"As long as the other players in Community 15 are weak enough, and Wang Weidong is strong enough, he can completely override the original voting mechanism within the community."

"Properly distribute the benefits, give a small group of people extra benefits, and use them to manage the majority of players."

"Or, if some communities are very weak, like the originally disorganized 12th community, they may not be able to accept this approach."

"Because for them, the community is already a mess anyway, so who can really isolate anyone? Compared to the long visa processing time, morality is simply irrelevant."

"Therefore, I think the emergence of 'simple Q&A' may not necessarily make all communities 'become better', but is more likely to make the ecosystem of all communities more 'polarized'."

"It's possible that, like our community, we embrace more positive values ​​and advocate for cooperation."

"But it is also possible that ambitious individuals in the community will further accelerate the struggle for power, turning the community into a one-man show or a completely dog-eat-dog ecosystem, which is another way to solve the problem."

"Moreover, for core players in certain communities, it is actually an easier way to do it."

Everyone fell silent; clearly, the possibility that Wang Yongxin mentioned did indeed exist.

Take the 12th community as an example. If they are ordinary, weak players, they may not have any choice.

Even if Chen Guangming admits he wanted to kill them, what then?

Did they vote to kill Chen Guangming?

Putting aside the question of whether the plan will be leaked or whether someone will betray us, the real question is what to do after killing Chen Guangming?
They entered the game, but just like everyone else, they had no one to lead them and couldn't survive.

If we don't kill Chen Guangming, he at least has the ability to lead a team. Moreover, after entering the game, he will still need someone to assist him. Furthermore, not all games have a mechanism like "Shelter Game" that allows players to sell out their teammates.

It's not necessarily true that I will die at Chen Guangming's hands.

In other words, even if they knew that Chen Guangming wanted to betray his teammates, the average player in the 12th community had no other choice.

Moreover, after this game, will Wang Weidong return to Community 15 and reform himself, trying his best to avoid betraying his teammates, or will he simply speed up his pace, try to eliminate dissidents, and turn Community 15 into his own personal fiefdom as soon as possible?

It’s hard to say.

Of course, as Wang Weidong tries to eliminate dissidents, other players in Community 15 will definitely resist and internal strife will occur, which will definitely weaken these communities.

But as Wang Yongxin said, we cannot assume that the emergence of the "Simple Q&A" game has only positive effects and no negative effects.

Wang Yongxin continued, "If we look at it from the other side, we can't just assume that the copycats of 'Simple Q&A' are well-intentioned; they may be neutral."

"He may also be using this game to forcibly accelerate the evolution of various community ecosystems, making the competition between communities even more intense."

Lee In-sook nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, although this idea is a bit dark, we still need to fully consider all the different possibilities."
