God's Imitator Chapter 272: Destroying Mutual Trust

Everyone lowered their heads in deep thought.

What Wei Yinzhang said wasn't actually difficult to understand.

Although as long as death cases appeared in gas, players would hate the God's Imitator, depending on specific situations, players' degree of hatred would also differ.

If the God's Imitator directly limited the plot opening order and file announcent order from the ga rules level, that would be equivalent to them trying to pre-determine the ga's results.

All the hatred generated from this would naturally concentrate on the God's Imitator who designed the 'Shelter Ga' themselves.

And even if this hatred toward one God's Imitator expanded, it would only expand to other God's Imitators but having hidden players decide all this ant a large portion of hatred was shared by the hidden players.

And when this kind of hatred expanded, it would expand to other communities.

The God's Imitator was using this thod to deflect contradictions.

Yang Yuting thought for a mont, "But this kind of thing isn't absolute, right?

"The God's Imitator set down extrely cruel mutual harm rules. Players kill each other within the rules. No matter how you look at it, the greatest guilt still lies with the God's Imitator.

"When reviewing, most communities should be able to think this through clearly, right?"

Wei Yinzhang shook her head, "Not necessarily.

"There's still a question of 'degree' here.

"That is to say, depending on specific ga chanisms, players' degree of hatred toward 'God's Imitators' or 'other players' will also differ.

"The more cruel the ga rules, the higher the hatred value toward the God's Imitator. Conversely, the more lenient the ga rules, the lower the hatred value toward the God's Imitator.

"But this change isn't from one extre to another. Rather, it dynamically changes and adjusts.

"You can think of it this way:

"If the God's Imitator left absolutely no way out in the ga, then players would definitely only hate the God's Imitator and not other players.

"But what if the God's Imitator left 10% of a way out, and other players cut off this way out?

"Similarly, what if the God's Imitator left 20%, 30%, 40% of a way out?

"Although this probability is still not high, it objectively still exists. At this ti, players would naturally transfer part of their hatred from the God's Imitator to other players."

Xu Tong thought for a mont, "But the 'Shelter Ga' should be that kind of ga with very few ways out, right?"

After a mont of consideration, Wei Yinzhang shook her head slightly, "Actually, if forced to say, although this ga had many death rules and was very dangerous, if players cooperated fully, the mortality rate wouldn't necessarily be very high.

"If hidden players were willing to give up part of their profits, not deliberately favor certain communities when bidding on plots and announcing criminal files, and let all field players share death risks as evenly as possible, all players' survival rates would rise.

"It would just an getting slightly fewer gold coins from bidding on plots.

"This way, field players also wouldn't choose to fight them to mutual destruction. Hidden players' death risks could also decrease.

"Similarly, field players could also choose not to drain the audience's gold coins in the most extre way. If they sold normal shelters at prices around 15 gold coins, the audience could completely accept it.

"Thinking carefully, the mutual harm among hidden players, field players, and audience, including the mutual harm between core players and marginal players within communities, certainly had reasons from ga chanisms, but a large part of the reason also lay in the players' own greed.

"Suppose now we want to cooperate with players from another community, and we know:

"Players from this community will only cooperate when the ga chanism completely supports cooperation. As long as the ga chanism has any interest factors inducing betrayal, they won't cooperate.

"In this situation, would we still cooperate with players from this community?

"Both involve coercion and temptation, death threats. So communities gave up imdiately, while so communities might persist for a long ti before giving up.

"Although from the results both gave up, the length of resistance ti is also enough to explain many issues.

"The God's Imitator of 'Shelter Ga' wanted to tell all players one thing: communities cannot cooperate, cannot trust each other. As long as ga rules tighten slightly, as long as so insignificant interests slightly tempt them, other communities will imdiately betray.

"And to prove the God's Imitator is wrong, one must still firmly uphold one's values under tightened rules, firmly resist the rules.

"Unfortunately, from the situation in 'Shelter Ga,' only our one community achieved this.

"And the behaviors players displayed in this ga will influence firsthand witnesses' judgnts of the current entire Gallery ecology.

"This ga's scale was unprecedented. Five communities played field players, one community played hidden players. In addition, there were 30 audience mbers.

"That is to say, this ga encompassed at least 10 communities.

"I believe Officer Cao's actions, although they increased this ga's mortality rate, also to a certain extent cracked this God's Imitator's 'heart attack.'

"He told all players that regardless of how ga rules change, at least our Community 17 will still strive to maintain fairness and justice.

"If our Community 17 chose to cooperate with Community 12 and Community 15 to divide the audience's gold coins, then even if fewer players died in normal gaplay, surviving players wouldn't feel fortunate.

"Because mutual trust between communities would be completely destroyed and unable to be repaired."

Wei Yinzhang continued, "Not only that, this ga is also destroying mutual trust within communities.

"The 'gold coin' setting reshuffled all players' remaining visa ti. Weak players' gold coins and strong players' gold coins have completely identical value.

"So for leaders of weak communities, scheming against players from their own community has the sa profits and is much easier.

"Just like Community 12 and Community 15.

"Their core players all survived and brought back all the gold coins earned in the ga. Very bountiful harvest.

"But Wang Weidong and Chen Guangming both, intentionally or unintentionally, made other marginal players bear greater risks in the ga, leading to their deaths.

"Then after returning to the community, or entering the next ga, will players from the sa community still trust them?

"This will again bring huge impacts to the community's ecology.

"After trust shatters, core players from many communities might choose to use high pressure and forced commands to constrain mbers' behaviors."

Wei Yinzhang paused slightly and finally summarized, "So this ga isn't just about killing people, but also attacking hearts.

"What happened in the ga definitely can't be simply covered up with one sentence 'the God's Imitator is at fault.'

"From now on, various communities will very likely start investigating God's Imitators in their own communities. Contradictions between players and God's Imitators will inevitably intensify greatly.

"But contradictions between communities, and within communities, will also similarly intensify greatly.

"This ga's results might completely change so people's philosophies, making them go from 'cooperation' to 'confrontation,' from 'trust' to 'suspicion.'"
