Clearly, the 'Imitator's Perspective' allowed Wei Yinzhang to see the deeper intentions behind this game.
The 'Shelter Game' is not just about killing; the most important aspect is to completely destroy the trust between communities under such high-pressure environments.
Although there is still cooperation among communities in the game, this cooperation is all based on 'same identity' collaboration.
For instance, the cooperation between Community 12 and Community 15, or Community 17 and Community 9, is based on the 'Inner Court Players' identity, and such cooperation is not stable at all.
The key is whether the 'Hidden Players', 'Inner Court Players', and 'Audience' can cooperate out of 'shared beliefs'.
Only when these three special identities cooperate will the players truly gain confidence.
Just like Community 17 selling the shelter to the audience at a normal price in the end.
And if it's really like Wang Yongxin said, that Community 17 also chooses to exploit the audience for Gold Coins as much as possible for their own benefit, it would mean that there has been no cooperation at all among the three special identities.
The imitator wants to prove that communities simply cannot achieve real cooperation and mutual trust; all players are merely pawns controlled by the rules, only playing strictly according to the rules' inducements, even when it involves life and death.
To prove the imitator is wrong, one must break the limitations of the rules within the game.
Everyone fell into silence; this game is far worse than the results it presents on the surface.
Wang Yongxin remained silent for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders, "But there's no other way, right?
"Under such unfair rules, we can only focus on the present.
"This game is the result of Walkway's biased intervention; we can only let this imitator win once, and then let other imitators turn the situation around."
Wei Yinzhang paused for a moment and added, "We can't just pin our hopes on the imitators in these situations; the players' attitudes are equally important."
Fu Chen thought for a moment, "I actually wanted to ask before, but the game time was too tight, so I didn't have a chance to ask.
"What if, during the rehearsal, we directly tell other communities and let them also cast insincere votes? What would happen?
"Isn't there more possibility for cooperation?"
Wang Yongxin shook his head, "That definitely won't work.
"Because they will never repay kindness with kindness; instead, they might hate you even more.
"Because you surpass them in both intellect and morality.
"Using the last 'lose-lose' card to gamble on people's conscience is not a wise choice."
Li Renshu looked at Lin Sizhi, "Lawyer Lin, if you were there at the time, could you think of any better solutions?"
The others also looked at Lin Sizhi.
There are three core players in the community, and everyone already knows how Cao Haichuan and Wang Yongxin would solve the problem.
Their methods of solving the problem cannot be said to be better or worse; they are just different choices under different values, and no one else can think of a better way.
And although Wei Yinzhang analyzed a lot, most of it was from the imitator's perspective on design intentions, not providing better problem-solving ideas.
If there's anyone else in Community 17 who can come up with the optimal solution, it might only be Lin Sizhi.
After considering, Lin Sizhi said, "There is a method, but it can't ensure 100% success, and there's some risk, so I can't say I would definitely use this method if I were there.
"Simply put, the lie detection death penalty mechanism doesn't happen whenever; it only occurs once before the game ends.
"We can also try to use this mechanism in reverse to restrain or even control other players' actions.
"Consider enquiring about Chen Peng's detailed file and publicizing it immediately after the rehearsal voting is over with the Gold Coins."
Everyone was a little surprised, "Huh?"
Li Renshu thought carefully and said, "But that way, it would directly attract everyone's hatred at the start, wouldn't it?
"All the Inner Court Players and Hidden Players would see us as enemies.
"Officer Cao also thought of this at the time, so he chose to keep it as a last resort, holding it until the end.
"Our thinking at that time was that perhaps we could convince Community 7 and Community 9 to vote for Community 15 in the final vote, so Officer Cao could survive."
Wang Yongxin also disagreed with this approach, "It's not just a matter of attracting hate.
"Hidden Players have no immunity from death; once the details of the first case are made public, and it's confirmed that all players will suffer an additional death penalty upon the game's end due to the lie detection mechanism, then for the Hidden Players, they are doomed to die.
"Under such circumstances, they would inevitably fall into complete madness.
"They wouldn't just target our Community 17; they would choose to kill all the players they can to make them take the fall.
"So, they are highly likely to directly publicize Officer Cao's crime in the sixth round."
Lin Sizhi nodded, "Yes, but that's exactly what I want.
"Because we know Officer Cao's crime in advance, and understand that 'inaction' could drag down almost all players in the early game, we can take this strategy.
"It's by killing the Hidden Players that we drive them to madness, forcing them to reveal the crime in the sixth round."
"At that point, other Inner Court Players must vote 'not guilty' for us.
"Because if they vote 'guilty', almost all Inner Court Players would be dragged down with them.
"Plus, with the subsequent instant death penalty from the lie detection, they would be doomed.
"Since Chen Peng's detailed file has already been publicized, they can no longer become the 'Perfect Judge', so it doesn't matter if they vote guilty or not guilty thereafter.
"One insincere vote is insincere, and all insincere votes are insincere.
"In this way, our community's crime is published but found not guilty, confirming 'inaction' as an absolutely safe behavior.
"We just need to do nothing.
"For other votes, players can simply vote 'not guilty' and all lay down together.
"When the game ends, they can cast the final vote however they want since we all have one exemption from death."
Qin Yao raised her hand and asked, "What if the Hidden Players don't reveal Officer Cao's crime first?"
Lin Sizhi continued to explain, "If the Hidden Players don't reveal Officer Cao's crime in the sixth round, it would be a bit more troublesome.
"We'll need to dismantle each community separately, using the conflicts between the core players and general players to restrain their actions.
"This will have to be adapted to the situation at the time.
"Because for core players to act, they must use general players to execute, which is just 'cheating' them into taking the risk.
"For example, Wang Weidong and Chen Guangming treat their community players as cannon fodder, commanding them to do this and that, ultimately making them scapegoats to survive themselves.
"But the premise for them to do so is that general players believe they still have the shelter and some margin for error, so they would do things that appear 'low risk, high reward' driven by Gold Coins.
"But if we clarify the lie detection mechanism from the start and make general players realize they have no margin for error in this game, being dragged down by any crimes would be deadly, they might not follow Wang Weidong and Chen Guangming's commands.
"Of course, to achieve this, we ourselves must also take the risk to get involved."
