God's Imitator

Chapter 167: The Plan


Besides, there are many other unexpected situations.

For example, after the unconditional saving policy is established, if a player enters the game fearless and intentionally risks their life for personal gain, causing the Immunity Coupon to be wasted meaninglessly, what then?

The more reckless people are prioritized for using the Immunity Coupon, which is clearly not right.

But if we vote every time, it's obviously too late.

To put it bluntly, 'when should the Immunity Coupon be used' is a dynamic issue with overly complex factors, and it's impossible to strictly constrain it with policy rules, only relying on subjective judgment.

Xu Tong first proposed: "How about queuing according to the contribution of those who purchased the coupon?

"For example, if two players want to use it at the same time, the one who contributed more should use it first.

"After one player uses it, they must replenish the difference of 300,000 to the Luxury Fund to continue queuing."

Li Renshu shook her head: "No, because 'two players needing the Immunity Coupon at the same time' is a very rare situation.

"If it really happens at the same time, we save the one with more contribution, and no one will object.

"But if two players face danger successively, your queuing scheme doesn't help much, and the key issue isn't even about visa time."

Yang Yuting tentatively asked: "So what if we set a threshold, like requiring a certain proportion of contribution to qualify for the Immunity Coupon?"

Cai Zhiyuan also said: "Actually, many online games have an 'auction' mechanism for such valuable items.

"We could also consider auctioning within the community, with the highest bidder winning, then distributing the auction proceeds to the weaker members of the community.

"In this way, even if the strong continuously occupy the Immunity Coupon without using it, they at least pay a lot of visa time, and the weak don't come out empty-handed."

Lin Sizhi was silent for a moment, then said: "However, network games that adopt a similar 'gold group model' encounter a very serious problem.

"The environment soon becomes hostile, showing no tolerance to newcomers, and most people start to haggle over their gains and losses. Players in the same team are no longer unconditionally trustworthy partners but become mere colleagues.

"Mistakes are fined, late arrivals are fined, even blood brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and situations where auctions lead to estrangement are common.

"The Immunity Coupon is more precious than rare game items, and its impact is naturally greater.

"If everyone wants Community 17 to become like that, then this plan could be considered."

Li Renshu looked at everyone and silently shook her head.

It was clear that the plans proposed by Yang Yuting and Cai Zhiyuan shared a common problem, making consensus within the community difficult.

The problem was: this method of use seriously violated the core values of Community 17.

Yang Yuting's method was certainly not feasible, Cai Zhiyuan's method was slightly better but still had major potential risks.

Because the appearance and use of the Immunity Coupon itself are part of the 'community welfare.'

This means the Immunity Coupon cannot simply be considered an 'ordinary commodity bought by the strong for 300,000'; its appearance itself is also the result of 'community building.'

Community building includes political activities within the community, the establishment and passing of policies, social relationships among players, personnel structure adjustments made for optimizing diversity and knowledge structure, etc.

All of these are completed collectively by all community members.

Just as every player has an equal vote in all policies, such a special commodity as the Immunity Coupon is part of community welfare, and every player should have a portion of the usage rights.

The use of contribution thresholds to block access, or using auctions to turn the Immunity Coupon into the private property of a player, could effectively oppress the weaker players.

If the weak are dissatisfied, they can unite to teach the strong a lesson through policies.

Under a system where everyone has one vote, the strong can't do whatever they want.

Moreover, from the beginning, Community 17 has not been a socio-Darwinist system. It has always advocated protection, inclusiveness, and diversity for the weak.

If the use of this coupon seriously violates the previous principles, the hard-earned stability might collapse instantly.

The Immunity Coupon must be used as much as possible.

We cannot directly or indirectly deprive the weak of their access under any circumstances.

While stronger contributors can receive some priority, this priority must have limits.

Under no circumstances should the strong occupy the Immunity Coupon without life-threatening danger while denying others its use.

Wang Yongxin sighed deeply: "In the end, there's really only one optimal way to use this coupon.

"We select someone to be authorized to manage this Immunity Coupon.

"When it needs to be used, it is up to them to decide autonomously.

"If we are dissatisfied with their decision, we simply choose another person next time."

Wang Yongxin was actually reluctant to propose this plan, knowing that even if it was adopted, he would not be the one chosen to manage the Immunity Coupon.

But he had no choice because this was the conclusion everyone would inevitably reach after the discussions, which cannot be prevented.

More importantly, if we did not choose this solution and opted for others, such as forcibly designating certain people to be prioritized for the Immunity Coupon or giving it unconditionally to the first person facing a life risk, or having an individual purchase the Immunity Coupon and distribute the money to others...

It might lead to even worse situations.

The weak might crave the Immunity Coupon more than the strong, and based on the principle of deferring to the happier person, the strong must make concessions. It's unavoidable.

As long as everyone is still in the same community and holds one vote, each person's opinion must be considered.

Lin Sizhi added a critical question: "Should we also grant some individuals 'veto power' in the usage of this coupon?

"Or, we could grant multiple people both 'usage rights' and 'veto power.'

"For instance, if one of three agrees, the coupon can be used.

"Alternatively, if any of the three explicitly disagrees, the coupon cannot be used."

Silence fell over the group once more; clearly, this issue was becoming increasingly complex.

Cai Zhiyuan seriously considered and then said: "How about this, I'll propose a plan, and everyone can consider whether it's suitable.

"One person will manage the usage rights, and two will have veto power.

"I don't think having multiple people with usage rights is a good idea, because in such cases, those inclined to 'actively use the Immunity Coupon' would effectively gain greater power, leading to overly casual use of the Immunity Coupon."
