After thinking for a moment, Cai Zhiyuan said, "That’s true, but I’m a pessimist. I believe the Gallery’s games will only become increasingly dangerous.
"Evil God’s Imitators often have no bottom line, so they will inevitably triumph.
"Well, this point is indeed controversial and cannot be determined, so we can temporarily not discuss it.
"But there’s one point I must make:
"Even if the New World truly will be transformed by some kind God’s Imitators, and maintaining community diversity and actively taking in the weak is more beneficial to our survival, so what?
"The key is, can this argument convince others in the community?
"Will they agree to purposely recruit burdens for the sake of ’maintaining diversity’?
"Even though our community is already the highest average intelligence community we’ve encountered, who would complain about their community being too strong?"
Li Renshu and Cao Haichuan fell into silence.
’Maintaining diversity’ was indeed important, but most people in the community could never prioritize it.
In other words, community members would allow stupid people to exist in the community, and wouldn’t even mind lending a helping hand during games, but they would absolutely never agree to actively screen for a stupid person during recruitment.
Li Renshu and Cao Haichuan’s concerns were very reasonable, but this wasn’t enough to convince enough people in the community.
If it were just topics like ’young doctor’ or ’older doctor,’ they might still achieve their goals through certain guidance and rhetoric but on the issue of ’smart people’ versus ’stupid people,’ rhetoric wouldn’t be very effective.
If Li Renshu forcibly pushed the motion using ’maintaining diversity’ as justification, not only would it likely fail to pass, it would also seriously damage the prestige she had accumulated.
For the first time, the three people within the small group had a major disagreement.
After a moment of silence, Li Renshu asked, "What would Lawyer Lin think?"
Cai Zhiyuan said, "I already asked him before coming here. He said either way is fine, let us decide."
Li Renshu stood up to leave, "There’s still time. Let’s consider it more carefully."
Lin Sizhi was having breakfast in the hall when suddenly, a new notification appeared on the big screen.
[According to Gallery statistics, the cumulative number of players expelled from communities has reached 30% of the original personnel. To accelerate community ecological evolution, a new rule will be updated:]
[In games involving multiple communities, ’community member replacement’ is possible, meaning kicking out one original member while accepting a member from another community.]
[Specific rules are as follows:]
[1. Kicking out a community member does not require the person’s consent, but other community members in the game must unanimously approve, with at least 3 people present.]
[2. Kicked-out players will be allocated to other communities according to relevant rules after the game ends.]
[3. New members need only agree to join this community and are not restricted by their original community.]
[4. ’Community member replacement’ will be conducted covertly, requiring only verbal confirmation from relevant players. But players must be extremely cautious: once confirmed, this commitment will be locked at the game mechanism level, and the community cannot renege. When the game ends, new members will automatically return to this community.]
[5. Accepted new members can still change their minds during the game and may still be poached by their original community or other communities.]
After a moment, the recruitment notification also appeared.
[This community has a player vacancy. In 48 hours, the community will recruit a new player as the new Player No. 8.]
[Before then, players can propose requirements for the new player’s age, gender, occupation, and other relevant factors through motions.]
[If no new player is needed, this can also be refused through proposing a motion.]
[Requirements receiving 7 or more votes will be formally submitted to the community, and the community will screen within a certain range according to these requirements and recruit relatively suitable new players.]
Hearing the notification, many players in the hall spontaneously gathered together.
"Kicking people out?" Seeing this rule, Fu Chen instinctively frowned.
Cai Zhiyuan corrected, "It’s not kicking people out, it’s replacing people.
"From this rule’s description, communities can actively kick out unsatisfactory players, and similarly, can try to poach excellent players from other communities.
"This rule’s purpose is to ’accelerate community ecological evolution.’"
Li Renshu paid more attention to the mortality rate figure, "So far the average mortality rate of communities is 30%? That high?
"That means on average, every community has already lost four people?"
Cai Zhiyuan corrected her statement, "It’s expulsion from the community. Running out of visa time should also count.
"Older players might only have around ten days of initial visa time. If they only got minimum visa time in ’Blood Poker’ and subsequently couldn’t earn more from other games, they should have already run out of visa time."
Jiang He was still somewhat slow to realize, "What does ’accelerate community ecological evolution’ mean?"
Li Renshu looked at everyone, realizing this question was most suitable for her to explain personally.
"Simply put, each community has different characteristics, different systems determined through motions, and therefore exhibits different ecologies.
"For example, among the communities we’ve encountered, Community 1 is a ’black shop’ built around a God’s Imitator, Community 3 completely splits profits equally and extremely emphasizes collectivism. For more chapters visıt 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
"Our community isn’t as extreme as Community 3, but we also emphasize basic security and concern for the weak.
"Of course, there might very well be communities that believe in survival of the fittest, prioritizing efficiency above all.
"Originally, community personnel mobility was quite poor. Only when deaths occurred would new recruitment happen.
"Even if those extreme communities were dissatisfied with certain members, they wouldn’t directly propose murder motions and might instead tend to let them fend for themselves.
"But after this member replacement rule update, it means two situations might occur:
"First, communities wanting to kick out certain members can take someone along in three-plus-one or four-plus-one arrangements to games with other communities and kick that person out.
"Second, in multi-community confrontation games, ’defection’ strategies can now be executed.
"Originally, it was impossible to turn other community players because everyone had to return to their original communities after games ended. If they betrayed, they couldn’t explain when they returned and would be isolated or even face severe punishment.
"Unless one betrayal could earn astronomical figures like five hundred thousand or one million, betrayal was absolutely unprofitable.
"But now, with betrayers knowing they will definitely be accepted by other communities, they’re more likely to be turned.
"Overall, this rule allows certain communities to reach their ideal form faster.
"Suppose a community emphasizing survival of the fittest currently has 8 strong members and 4 weak ones. Under the original mechanism, they could only slowly eliminate those four people.
"But now, they can participate in games with three-plus-one or four-plus-one arrangements. As long as they find strong players from other communities with similar philosophies in the game, they can try to poach people this way while kicking out the weak.
"The progress toward becoming an elite community would greatly accelerate.
"Meanwhile, some weaker communities, or communities with serious ideological conflicts, might also experience talent drain.
"In other words, this rule encourages the strong to band together."
