After serious consideration, Zheng Jie said, "So he should have chopped the position on his forearm, right? Especially the area slightly above the wrist. The subcutaneous tissue in this place is relatively thin, only about 1.5 to 2.5 centiters. If he chopped this place, it definitely wouldn't be enough.
"Chopping his biceps or deltoids would have been fine."
Cai Zhiyuan touched these two muscles on himself, "But he was probably afraid of causing permanent disability, so he didn't dare chop these two positions.
"When gas in the Gallery are quite targeted, the ratings are basically adjusted upward accordingly.
"This ga is quite targeted toward gambling degenerates.
"The safest way to exit this ga is to directly grit one's teeth and use the axe to chop off a section of one's pinky finger.
"But gambling degenerates often have quite strong wishful thinking. After seeing two 'unhard' faces on the dice, they would subconsciously think there's a one-third probability of rolling 'unhard,' so they're more inclined to throw the dice and take their chances.
"And after not getting 'unhard' on the first try, he was already forced to cut himself once. This is equivalent to increasing the sunk cost, making him even more unwilling to chop off his pinky finger.
"Moreover, the rules clearly stated that the more tis the dice is thrown, the higher the probability of 'unhard.'
"All these factors would prompt him to keep throwing the dice, throwing at least three tis.
"Although the player wouldn't die if they were ruthless enough, because of these reasons, the Gallery probably adjusted the rating upward."
Wei Yinzhang added, "There's also another point. I feel that the first batch of single-player test gas were generally given slightly higher ratings.
"After all, at that ti, all God’s Imitators were designing gas for the first ti. They hadn't seen other excellent designs, had no reference experience, and the ti for designing gas was very short.
"And they were single-player gas, which are relatively less likely to design too much interaction and variety.
"So when the Gallery rated this batch of gas, they should have loosened the standards slightly, so the overall scores were sowhat higher."
Wang Yongxin said thoughtfully, "In other words, God’s Imitators who design gas actually can't control all the details within the ga. Many tis unexpected situations also occur."
Wei Yinzhang nodded, "Of course!
"Anyway, in my own gas, I often have various oversights. As long as they're not too fatal, it's fine.
"Plugging all the rule loopholes is too difficult. It's like no matter how skilled a programr is, the ga they write can't possibly be completely bug-free, right? It's just a question of more or less."
She took a sip of water and continued, "Then I left the ga venue, walked around aimlessly for a while, and arrived at Community 6.
"I naturally chose to hide my Imitator identity because the Gallery specifically warned that exposing one's identity might bring danger to oneself.
"After entering the community, I would receive ga invitations from the Gallery on the private computer in my room.
"I don't know exactly how many invitations the Gallery sends out, but I can only receive one.
"I suspect that each ti the Gallery sends out different invitations, each invitation going to several different God’s Imitators. These God’s Imitators each make their designs, and after the Gallery reviews them, they pick one to select.
"Exactly how they divide and pick, I don't know.
"As for timing, if two gas are about a week apart, then roughly one to two days after the previous ga ends, I'd receive a new invitation. I'd submit the ga planning docunt and complete the review the day before the next ga officially starts.
"The ti in between is the ti for designing.
"However, these tis aren't absolute. Sotis earlier, sotis later. The design ti and requirents left by each invitation are also different."
Fu Chen asked sowhat curiously, "What exactly are the Gallery's ga design invitations like?"
Wei Yinzhang explained, "Actually, it's just a planning docunt in standard format. Inside are items that can be selected for the next ga, additional rules or thes, files on criminals to be judged, and things like that.
"God’s Imitators write the specific rules of the ga on it. When they write the four words 'Design Complete' in the lower right corner of the last page, it's automatically submitted for review.
"But whether it passes review or whether it's adopted after passing review, generally there's no separate notification. You can only find out when the next ga opens."
Wang Yongxin caught an important point, "Wait, the items available for each ga are different?"
Wei Yinzhang nodded, "Of course they're different!
"The Gallery does limit available items. For example, in that very first ga for obtaining Imitator identity, there were clear limitations: any gambling tools, any cold weapons, any firearms, and so on.
"Haven't you noticed that in the first batch of gas, there were more things like dice, board gas, and roulette wheels?
"Of course, these items don't all have to be used. They can be self-selected. For example, in 'Loaded Dice,' I only selected an axe from the cold weapons and didn't select any firearms.
"But God’s Imitators generally can't design other items outside the item list at will.
"Unless the item list separately gives other large-scale items that can be freely designed, and the quantity is sufficient."
Li Renshu nodded in realization, "I see. We really didn't notice this point before."
Cai Zhiyuan lowered his head in deep thought for a long ti, then said, "Indeed, thinking about it now, the designs of the first batch of gas actually have certain commonalities.
"For example, the 'Loaded Dice' and 'Redemption Roulette' that you designed, both gas are related to probability.
"At first, I thought all these God’s Imitators favored probability. Thinking about it now, it should be that the planning docunt provided items in the category of 'gambling tools,' so it had a certain guiding effect on God’s Imitators."
Wang Yongxin asked, "So is the Gallery actually manipulating each ga? Are God’s Imitators making gas actually just implenting the Gallery's will?"
This question stumped Wei Yinzhang a bit.
She thought about it, "I can't really say.
"The Gallery definitely has so kind of will, because when sending design invitations, sotis it includes an extra sentence.
"For example, what left a deep impression on was that after completing 'Loaded Dice,' when I first received a ga invitation at Community 6, the Gallery said that 'Loaded Dice' was designed pretty well but still had flaws, and to keep up the good work.
"Also, in a previous ga invitation, the Gallery said, 'Just as players will slowly change communities, God’s Imitators will also slowly change the Gallery.'"
Everyone was sowhat surprised and thought seriously about this sentence.
Li Renshu considered for a mont, "We did indeed make such a speculation before: God’s Imitators might change the Gallery's form, and players' improvents to community form are actually 'placing bets' among God’s Imitators with different philosophies.
"Now we can confirm the existence of this rule.
"As long as there are enough God’s Imitators persistently exerting influence on the Gallery, its review standards and inclinations can also change."
Qin Yao suddenly realized sothing. She looked at Wei Yinzhang, "So that's why you made this 'Fool's Ga'?"
The others didn't yet know what the specific content of this ga was, so for a mont they couldn't connect this sentence with the characteristics of the 'Fool's Ga.'
Qin Yao was a participant, so she realized this point.
Everyone brought up the ga rules for 'Fool's Ga' again.
