God's imitator

Chapter 395 Voting Strategies

In the audience lounge, Yang Yuting frowned: "There's something more to Liu Mingxin's words!"

"She wasn't targeting anyone in particular, but she cleverly distanced herself from the situation..."

Clearly, with people casting dissenting votes arbitrarily, the voting results are almost impossible to predict.

Although it's possible to discuss things privately, the game area isn't very large this time, so any communication between players will be seen by other players.

Trying to band together to isolate others may backfire, leading to your own isolation.

So far, these outside players haven't made any major moves, and players like Zhou Guifen and Fu Yujun, who naturally have a basis for cooperation, have also kept their distance as much as possible for the time being.

In this situation, it's possible to vote for anyone.

Wu Xiaomei currently has the biggest advantage and may get more votes, but other players may feel that since Wu Xiaomei has been confirmed to be blocked, they might as well vote for the person they hate the second most.

Liu Mingxin shifted the topic to "super privilege players," effectively adding extra weight to everyone's vote.

Because Liu Mingxin brought up the topic, her suspicion was greatly reduced.

This likely indicates that she feels guilty towards her child, Liu Jie, and is quite certain that Liu Jie is not a "super-privileged player," which is why she can openly bring up this topic.

Of course, Liu Mingxin may also be playing the "blind spot" game, actively trying to clear himself of suspicion in this way.

But thinking like that is easy to fall into the trap of creating nested dolls, and it's meaningless.

Most players will shift their suspicions to players other than Liu Mingxin, thus ensuring the safety of Liu Mingxin and Liu Jie.

What's worse is that if someone stands up against Liu Mingxin at this point, they'll have to think carefully about their words.

Because if the wording is inappropriate, other players may suspect that his child is a "super privilege player," and then no matter how he explains, it will be impossible to explain.

Yang Yuting was somewhat conflicted: "Neither of us feels guilty... It must be a relatively happy family to meet such conditions, right?"

"There shouldn't be any sense of guilt between me and my parents."

"So, it seems that both Aunt Zhou's and Fu Chen's families fit the criteria? That's dangerous..."

"But that's not necessarily true. 'Every family has its own problems.' There are many parent-child relationships that appear harmonious on the surface but are actually terrible. We can't make such a conclusion just based on the personalities of Fu Chen and Aunt Zhou."

"Perhaps it's safer to remain silent?"

"However, if everyone agrees with Liu Mingxin's statement, her goal can be achieved more smoothly."

……

Just then, Fu Yujun spoke up.

"I do not agree with this strategy."

"I think the hidden rule of 'super privileged player' is a trap because there is no accurate way to judge it, it is just a matter of subjective judgment."

"If there is no guilt between them, how can parents know if their children feel guilty towards them?"

"Dwelling too much on this point will only make us constantly distrust each other and make it even more difficult to cooperate."

"I know that some players might consider casting their votes against the player who is currently ahead in the game, in order to weaken their competitors, but that's not a good idea."

"Because the game is divided into many rounds, the strength of the players may keep changing."

"If we follow this strategy, we will be unable to establish cooperation after the first round of voting and will be forced to continue implementing this strategy, which will inevitably result in some players suffering losses."

"There could be an even worse situation: if multiple players are tied for first place, they will also be banned."

"But in fact, there are ways to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation within the rules of the game."

"As long as all players tie, no one will be blocked. We happen to have six players, so if we pair up and vote for each other, we can ensure that all players tie, and no one will be blocked."

"Even if there is a possibility of betrayal, we can avoid it by signing contracts with each other."

"The terms of the agreement are: provided that the rules of the game are not violated, both parties will exchange 10 opposing votes each round."

"The penalty for breach of contract can be negotiated between the two parties, but I suggest that in order to strengthen the binding force, the penalty for breach of contract can be set higher, such as having to compensate the other party for subsequent expenses or tens of thousands of visa time if the breach occurs."

"Of course, if certain penalties for breach of contract conflict with the rules, it may not be valid, so we still need to try."

The other players were somewhat surprised.

Because they also knew that opposing Liu Mingxin at this time would likely increase their own suspicion, Fu Yujun's behavior was somewhat unexpected.

However, Fu Yujun's tone was quite frank, which to some extent mitigated the suspicion.

The same words, spoken by different people and in different tones, can have different effects.

Peng Hong considered for a moment and nodded first: "Hmm, I think it's okay."

"But there are still some issues with the details, right?"

"Suppose I sign a contract with you and we exchange opposing votes, but the other two players only pretend to sign on the surface and don't actually sign, and then secretly vote for us, what should we do?"
“If the votes in this game are ‘yes’ votes, there will definitely be no problem exchanging them, but ‘no’ votes are a completely different story.”

"Or how about this? The six of us can vote for the next person in turn, forming a circle. That might be more reliable than two people voting for each other."

Fu Yujun shook his head slightly: "It's not very meaningful, because this initiative is unlikely to be particularly binding. In essence, it's only good for preventing honest people from being corrupt."

"A key issue is that we don't have much time. If we hand the contracts to the next person in order, there will be too many contracts to sign. But if we sign them in pairs, we only need three contracts."

"If a player does change their mind, we can deal with it in two ways:"
"The first is to stipulate the conditions for termination when signing the contract, so that if someone changes their mind, the others may also refuse to perform the contract."

"Secondly, if someone chooses to betray the game when everyone agrees, they will become the target of public criticism. Then, everyone will cast all their votes for them, and they can be blocked until the end of the game."

"In the worst-case scenario, if everyone throws randomly, it will just be back to the original state."

Fu Yujun paused slightly before continuing, "Although we still cannot guarantee that this plan is 100% reliable, the risks are relatively controllable, and the overall benefits after success will be the greatest."

Zhou Guifen immediately chimed in: "I agree. We should at least try a plan that benefits everyone. Even if it fails in the end, at least we will have made an attempt."

After considering their options, the other players also agreed to the plan.

Wu Xiaomei was still intently watching the images on the big screen, her expression revealing her anxiety and worry.

Although Chen Ran had left the room and seemed to be fine, Wu Xiaomei still felt the same way.

Fu Yujun suggested, "Let's hurry up and complete the contract in pairs."

He looked at Zhou Guifen and said, "Big sister, let's pair up."

Zhou Guifen quickly nodded, and the two moved to a spot a little further away.

The other four players quickly split into two groups: Peng Hong and Jiao Hongtao in one group, and Wu Xiaomei and Liu Mingxin in the other.

Zhou Guifen quickly said, "Fu Chen and I live in the same community."

Fu Yujun nodded: "Yes, I knew from the beginning. But we couldn't make it too obvious beforehand. If we teamed up from the start, it might have aroused the suspicion of other players."

"Let's sign a contract first and exchange 'no' votes."

　Chapter 387 added a rule: at the end of the game, the players outside the arena will undergo a public trial, with the audience guessing their specific crimes and then voting. The two players with the most "guilty" votes will be subject to instant death. This is mainly to further increase the participation of the players outside the arena.
