Wei Yinzhang continued: "I've gone somewhat off topic, regarding the specific mechanisms of the Imitator and Walkway's invitation, let's discuss this later. I'll finish talking about Community 6 first.

"Apart from being the Imitator, I don't consider myself a smart player.

"If I have ample time for preparation and thought beforehand, it's fine, but if I encounter exceedingly complex alien rules in a short span, I'm not much different from the Foolish Players.

"In distribution games like 'Blood Poker', I've even been tricked out of some Chips.

"Therefore, I originally existed in Community 6 in a rather marginalized position.

"The core players of Community 6 tend to lean towards elitism, and from the very beginning harbored strong malice towards the 'Imitator'.

"So after entering the community, I constantly hid my identity, not wanting to expose it. In such an environment, revealing the identity of the 'Imitator' is a dangerous affair."

Zheng Jie was a bit perplexed: "Is that really the case? It's entirely different from what I imagined... I thought Sister Wei was in a commanding position in her original community...

"But after this game, if Lawyer Lin doesn't invite you, you should still return to Community 6, shouldn't you? Are you ready to reveal your cards?"

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Yes, I was indeed planning to reveal my cards in Community 6.

"I considered the following:

"Firstly, my Imitator identity might not remain hidden forever. Because concealing identity is exhausting, and in daily life, a slip of the tongue or inadvertently revealing information only known to the Imitator might lead to suspicion.

"Moreover, over time, the Imitator can gain extra visa time, which is another point of suspicion.

"If I fail to hide and am discovered, it could provoke greater suspicion.

"The best choice would be to voluntarily disclose identity at a 'suitable opportunity'.

"This 'suitable opportunity' is actually after an 'excellent game'."

Li Renshu quickly understood: "Got it, your point is, as the Imitator, you have to use specific games to prove your worth.

"If there isn't a strong enough game to persuade, merely exposing your identity would make it hard to gain the recognition of other players, potentially deeming you a threat by those of differing views, placing you in danger."

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Indeed."

This isn't hard to comprehend because everyone had discussed it prior.

Once the Imitator is exposed, the likelihood of being threatened or controlled by other community players exists.

For instance, other players could threaten the Imitator to design according to their demands, with a vote to kill the Imitator if they dare to defy.

While the Imitator can act in opposition, seeking an opportunity to kill the community's players, a single failure ensures their death.

In such a dynamic, the Imitator is categorically in a passive stance.

However, even accepting control by other community players poses a risk to the Imitator.

Much like Community 1, the Walkway won't permit blatant 'dark shop' dealings, possibly adjusting game matching or screening mechanisms to impose penalties.

Though the Imitator might be coerced, they would still bear the greatest risk, becoming the prime scapegoat.

Thus, Wei Yinzhang assesses her strengths, community status, and the ideology of Community 6's core players, concluding that even if she has to disclose identity, it should follow a sufficiently Weighty game.

For instance, in this scenario, if after the 'Fool's Game' Wei Yinzhang returned to Community 6, the ordinary players would unequivocally support her, forcing those elitism-believing core circle players to reconsider her value.

Therefore, before this, Wei Yinzhang consistently concealed her Imitator identity.

Her creation of the 'Fool's Game' aimed not only at Foolish Players from other communities in the New World but also at better rallying ordinary players within Community 6, countering the underlying elitism of the core group, and crafting a safer environment within the community for herself.

Zheng Jie pondered a new question: "But, if Sister Wei had already planned to reveal cards through this game, why not expose identity before entering the game? She could inform community players of the relevant rules beforehand, right?"

Lin Sizhi considered and said, "Maybe to prepare for two outcomes."

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Yes, I indeed prepared for two outcomes, meaning there's a possibility of 'not revealing cards'.

"Here's my reasoning; if all goes well, I successfully achieve the objectives in this game, the trap for Wise Players takes effect, and sufficient visa time is granted to Foolish Players, then I'll reveal my cards normally.

"If so, once I return to Community 6, I would hold sufficient say.

"However, if it doesn't go as planned? If the game's situation doesn't unfold like I anticipated, making it unlikely to meet the goal of 'granting money to Foolish Players', then I would continue to conceal myself, merely treating this game as an opportunity to earn visa time.

"I can keep waiting for another opportunity.

"Thus, I didn't reveal cards before entering the game to leave myself an alternative.

"If I were a core player in the community, an upfront agreement on 'anonymous recognition' would be fine, but as a marginal player, proposing this motion would incur suspicion.

"So I merely hinted at those with lesser visa time and more honest players from Community 6 to enter the game, thinking of finding contacts temporarily after entering.

"Unexpectedly, the game's pace was quicker than anticipated, with greater chaos.

"Community 6 entrants were quite honest, I overestimated their capability and couldn't identify promptly."

Lin Sizhi added: "Moreover, your in-game image differs greatly from your community image, so it's likely Community 6 players didn't guess 'Sheep' was you."

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "Yes, that's likely one of the reasons.

"In sum, I couldn't promptly locate 3 members of Community 6.

"Continuing the search is possible, yet it raises the risk of suspicion from 'Rabbit'.

"As I hesitated, coincidentally, Lawyer Lin extended an olive branch, leading me to deliberate and decide to change communities.

"It was a spontaneous decision under fortuitous circumstances, but I also took ample consideration.

"Honestly, when Lawyer Lin exposed my identity, I was genuinely startled, since it utterly fell outside my plan.

"However, Lawyer Lin exhibited no malice, he pinpointed my strategy, offered suggestions to better gain 'Rabbit's' trust, and agreed to unconditionally cooperate with my plan.

"Upon reflection, given his strength, he is definitely a core player in the original community, and his ideology is likely the mainstream within the community.

"Therefore, even without meeting other community members yet, I could roughly ascertain this was a better option than Community 6."
