Cai Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then raised a new question: "But our discussion on this issue is based on the premise that 'bringing more visa time into the game puts one at a disadvantage.'

"It is also possible that the Imitator could exploit this and create specific games where players only gain an advantage if they enter the game with 100,000 minutes of visa time.

"It is difficult for us to determine the exact amount of visa time that is considered 'just right.'"

Wang Yongxin nodded: "I have considered this issue as well.

"As a player with more visa time, I too hope for games of this type in the Walkway, but after comprehensive analysis, I believe the possibility is low.

"Because such games are clearly too unbalanced.

"Giving players with more visa time extra advantages can easily trigger the Matthew effect, causing a situation where the strong remain strong and the weak have no chance to turn the tables.

"At least from the current situation, the Walkway does not encourage this behavior.

"At most, it's like the 'Matchmaking Game,' offering some high-priced goods. But for these goods, carrying forty to fifty thousand visa times is sufficient.

"As for whether the trend will change because of the Imitator in the future, it's hard to say, but we can completely make adjustments after seeing the change.

"The 'just right' amount I mentioned is probably between 50,000 to 80,000, as this is also the median visa time of players in other communities.

"But this only represents my personal view and only represents the present moment.

"If others disagree, they can decide how much money to deposit in the community fund based on what they think is suitable.

"I emphasize again, 'keeping just the right amount of time on oneself' is a personal standard, not a mandatory one.

"If someone feels only secure with a million visa times on them, we also respect their personal choice."

The crowd fell into a brief silence.

It was obvious that Wang Yongxin's proposal was not absolutely fair or perfect, because withdrawing early or late, or depositing more or less, could result in some players suffering losses.

But there is only one absolutely fair solution, which is for everyone not to deposit and spend their own money.

At least one consensus is evident now: the more money stored in the community fund, the better.

And to make the depositing players feel it is worthwhile, it will inevitably make those not depositing feel uncomfortable; there is no perfect solution to this.

Wang Yongxin proposed this motion as a dual benefit to some extent.

The proposal was what he wanted, while it was also why Li Renshu and others brought him in.

After considering, Cai Zhiyuan was the first to express his opinion: "I generally agree with this proposal.

"The details may not be perfect, but dwelling on such details is not important, as such matters cannot satisfy everyone.

"'Suffering a loss' itself is a statement, indicating one's willingness to contribute more to the community.

"The act of 'taking advantage of loopholes' may indeed occur, but it also allows us to see certain players more clearly.

"Moreover, the main significance of this scheme is in resolving the potential exhaustion of the 'Luxury Fund' in the future.

"When we first established the 'Luxury Fund,' we used a voluntary donation method. Back then, everyone was eager, looking like a perfect solution, but in reality, that state cannot be sustained long-term.

"It is like freshmen cleaning dormitories in college; on the first day of school, everyone eagerly looks for work, seemingly joyful. But over time, they soon become lazy, eventually leaving only one person cleaning, or no one cleaning at all.

"The 'Luxury Fund' is similar; as time goes by, the willingness of players to donate decreases, and the source of funds will gradually dry up.

"We indeed need to establish more detailed records and further quantify each person's contribution, and then quantify everyone's say based on contribution.

"I believe this is something that will need to be done sooner or later.

"Although we can maintain the current state and have all players voluntarily donate to temporarily cover up the issue, it won't stay hidden for long."

Fu Chen thought for a moment: "Emotionally, I still don't quite like this proposal.

"It gives me a sense of 'categorizing players into classes.'

"But the reasons you mentioned indeed convince me, and I can't think of a better solution either.

"So I will abstain for now, and if issues arise during the implementation of this proposal, I will propose amendments."

Li Renshu then looked at Lin Sizhi: "Lawyer Lin, what is your opinion?"

After considering, Lin Sizhi said: "Perhaps we could also try to separate 'the money in the bank' from 'the money for public expenditure.'

"For instance, if I have 100,000, and I only want to carry 50,000 with me and leave the remaining 50,000 in the community.

"Yet, of this 50,000, I actually only want to donate 20,000, storing the remaining 30,000.

"Under the current proposal, I actually have no choice. I can only deposit the entire 50,000 into the Luxury Fund, and once the community decides to spend money, the entire 50,000 will be used.

"But if a separate 'bank' is set up, I could choose to store 30,000 in the bank and donate 20,000. It doesn't matter how the donated 20,000 is spent, but the 30,000 in the bank can be withdrawn at any time.

"However, this kind of proposal may also present issues."

Wang Yongxin nodded: "Yes.

"The first problem is that community rules may not allow it.

"Because a standalone bank allowing free deposit and withdrawal means we can inflate the community fund's amount without cost, enjoying community benefits without paying extra.

"Whether the money in the bank will be recognized by the community as part of the 'community fund' is unclear because it is essentially 'money only the individual can control,' lacking the 'community shared' nature.

"The second problem is that this proposal won't achieve the 'encouragement of donations' purpose.

"If we really separate them, then the money in the bank cannot be touched, and as Cai Zhiyuan said earlier, the Luxury Fund is likely to gradually deplete.

"The reason I have to tie the 'bank' function to these two funds is to avoid that situation.

"The 'bank' function must be a privilege only those willing to donate can enjoy.

"Of course, players may not regard it as a benefit, in which case, not donating is fine."

After considering, Lin Sizhi said: "I think we could first attempt to separate the 'bank' and 'fund' functionalities, to see if the proposal can pass community review.

"If it can pass, it means we can use bank deposits to activate community benefits, which is of course best.

"If it doesn't pass, then submit them together."

Wang Yongxin thought for a moment: "Hmm, that could work."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and Li Renshu said: "Alright, then I'll make simple modifications and arrangements to Brother Wang's proposal, creating two proposals.

"The first one is a proposal to separate the 'bank function,' and if it passes, that would be excellent. We can directly deposit all the visa times to see if it activates new items.

"The second is the current proposal from Brother Wang, but it will have some shortcomings which we need to explain and clarify to other players before voting."

Everyone dispersed.

...

After dinner.

Li Renshu first briefly introduced the two schemes to everyone, then went to submit the first proposal.

This is setting up a separate 'savings fund' where all players can freely deposit and withdraw visa time.

But not long after, Li Renshu returned to the hall, and the corresponding voting option did not appear on the big screen.

"No.

"The community does not recognize this as part of the community fund, nor does it allow us to randomly deposit or withdraw visa time this way.

"The community fund must be usable by all community members under specific rules, meaning no rules like 'withdrawable only by the individual' can exist."
