Cai Zhiyuan had obviously already considered this question.
"First, let’s look at the specific rules for poaching.
"From the previous ’Conglomerate Nation’ situation, our community currently has 11 people with one vacancy, so we can directly poach specific players without needing to kick anyone out.
"Poaching requires simultaneously meeting two conditions:
"First, the person being poached must agree.
"Second, the players from our community who entered this game must all unanimously agree, and there must be at least 3 people.
"Poaching requires all our community’s players to verbally confirm. After that, the poaching commitment will be locked at the game mechanism level and cannot be reversed.
"But the player we poach may have a change of heart: as long as other communities also extend an olive branch to them, they can choose from multiple communities.
"In other words, all players entering the game already inherently have ’veto power’. Poaching that is obviously harmful to the community is unlikely to pass.
"First is loyalty, second is values, third is personal ability.
"It would be best if all three meet requirements, but this is difficult, so I think at least two must be satisfied, and the third shouldn’t be too far off either.
"And the players in our community responsible for poaching should at least have the ability to ’accurately judge these three points’.
"In summary, I believe currently only two players in the community can convince everyone in this regard.
"Li Renshu and Lawyer Lin."
Wang Yongxin’s expression was somewhat grave. At this point, Cai Zhiyuan had "revealed the dagger at the map’s end."
All that talk before was mostly just using the topic to make a point. The ultimate goal was still to concentrate the ’recruitment power’ but it must be said, Cai Zhiyuan’s method was quite clever.
Originally, the community’s ’recruitment power’ was essentially held in all players’ hands, with each person having an equally weighted vote.
It wasn’t easy for Cai Zhiyuan to concentrate the ’recruitment power’ into Li Renshu’s hands.
Although Li Renshu could to some extent manipulate proposals to influence swing votes, this wasn’t omnipotent and could only play a limited role in influencing swing votes.
But if Cai Zhiyuan directly proposed other plans, such as ’Li Renshu decides the recruitment candidate herself’ or ’Li Renshu and other core players’ 1 vote counts as 2 votes during recruitment’, they would very likely provoke fierce opposition.
Because no matter how politically insensitive a player is, they can still sense that this kind of plan is actually depriving them of power related to ’recruitment’.
Therefore, Cai Zhiyuan only feinted in this direction without making it a key point of argument.
He first emphasized ’the unreliability of collective decision-making’ and ’the foresight and correctness of core players like Li Renshu’, then bypassed plans that directly worked on ’recruitment votes’, bringing the topic to the ’game poaching’ plan.
Poaching in games requires unanimous approval from all players from the same community participating in the game, which is equivalent to giving everyone ’veto power’.
This would be easier for other players to accept.
They wouldn’t feel their ’recruitment power’ had been stripped away, but would only think this power had transformed into ’veto power in the recruitment process’, still held in their own hands but in reality, the power to specifically recruit whom was more concentrated in the hands of a very few individuals.
If this plan could really pass, then if Li Renshu or Lin Sizhi decided to poach someone, would other players in the same game firmly oppose?
When discussing recruitment within the community, everyone was talking about a virtual target, so people more easily proposed negative opinions but when poaching in games, everyone saw a specific player, and might even be discussing this matter face-to-face as part of the game strategy.
As long as the person being poached wasn’t too excessive, most people couldn’t bring themselves to directly reject.
It’s like how rejecting someone online is easy, but rejecting someone face-to-face in reality is much more difficult.
This situation caught Wang Yongxin somewhat off guard.
He knew very clearly that Cai Zhiyuan’s plan was most unfavorable to him and shouldn’t be allowed to pass.
So now Wang Yongxin had to find problems and loopholes in this plan as much as possible. If he could stop it, that would be best. Even if he couldn’t, he had to fight for some changes favorable to himself.
After thinking briefly, he said, "But this way, a minimum of 3 people can actually decide the recruitment result. What about the remaining 8 people in the community? They can only passively accept.
"In other words, only players who enter games can enjoy this ’veto power’. Those who don’t enter games don’t have it.
"This doesn’t seem very fair."
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head, "First, deciding whom to poach can only be decided by Li Renshu or Lawyer Lin. Their decisions are inherently decisions recognized by most players in the community.
"Second, I think ’must enter the game to have veto power’ is very reasonable.
"Because deciding whom to poach is an on-the-spot judgment. Only by entering the game and actually seeing this player’s performance can a more rational decision be made.
"If other players didn’t enter the game, how can they judge whether this person should be poached or not?
"Moreover, entering games involves risk. Players who bear risk having more power is beyond reproach.
"If anyone feels this is unreasonable, they can choose to enter games every time. That way they can always exercise ’veto power’."
Wang Yongxin thought for a moment, then changed his approach, "In that case, I think it should be like leading games before, with at least 3 to 4 players holding recruitment power.
"Officer Cao and I should also have this power."
Cai Zhiyuan said indifferently, "Any number of people is fine. We can vote to decide the candidates."
Wang Yongxin felt somewhat deflated. Obviously, if it came to voting, he definitely didn’t have the advantage but forcibly demanding this recruitment power without voting? That was also impossible. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
The situation was somewhat deadlocked, but already faintly tilting toward the direction Cai Zhiyuan expected.
Yang Yuting, who hadn’t spoken all along, suddenly said, "I actually think this plan is feasible. We can try it."
Wang Yongxin looked at her with some surprise but Yang Yuting’s next words made Wang Yongxin relax again.
"But I actually think giving this power to two people is a bit much. Simply give it to just Lawyer Lin alone.
"Poaching wouldn’t happen frequently anyway, and whether this method is better than voting for recruitment isn’t quite certain yet. We need to trial it first and observe.
"Since it’s just a trial phase, why give this power to two people?
"I think Renshu is already very busy handling community internal affairs. Her game participation frequency isn’t very high to begin with. Why forcibly add this task to her plate as well?
"Lawyer Lin participates in games the most, and all of us recognize his abilities. Furthermore, Lawyer Lin currently doesn’t bear other work in the community. From community proposals to the ’death immunity token’, he doesn’t manage anything.
"I think we can’t let him be so relaxed. What does everyone think?"
