The next morning.
The players gathered in the hall once again to hold a meeting.
Clearly, after Li Renshu talked with Lin Sizhi last night, she also communicated with others who needed to be informed, so she directly presented the proposal.
"We're having this meeting today because there's an important issue to address: recruitment.
"During this period, I've also privately exchanged views with some players, and I've tried to consider things comprehensively, especially Lawyer Lin's perspective.
"So, I'll go straight to the results:
"Currently, there are two recruitment methods: the traditional method, which involves screening new players through community rules; and poaching.
"Both methods have their own issues. The former has a cooldown period, while the latter cannot guarantee finding worthwhile recruits every game session.
"Our primary goal is to keep the community fully staffed at all times.
"Therefore, we should try to use both recruitment methods. This time, we'll use the traditional recruitment method, and if the traditional method is on cooldown, we'll poach during the game.
"There are two specific issues to address.
"The first is which profession we should recruit.
"Currently, there's a strong call for 'police' and 'military'.
"The second is about the power to poach.
"Poaching requires entering the appropriate games, but Lawyer Lin can't participate in every game as it would be too burdensome. Moreover, many games selectively target the weak and don't allow voluntary entries, like the 'Shelter Game'.
"Therefore, Lawyer Lin suggests re-selecting a key game volunteer to ensure the community has three game core volunteers.
"In addition, each game core should have the power to poach.
"So, today's primary focus is voting on these two matters.
"The first is determining the profession of new players.
"The second is finalizing the initial shortlist for game cores.
"My idea is that those wanting to become game cores should volunteer first. We will assess the performance of these volunteers in 'three subsequent games' to determine the new game core through voting.
"What does everyone think?"
The crowd looked at each other and then nodded: "Agreed."
No one raised any objections.
Li Renshu continued, "Alright, let's first vote on the first item, whether to recruit a 'military member' or a 'police officer'.
"Regarding the other two factors, gender and age, I believe there's no other option but 'young men'.
"As for choosing between 'military' and 'police', I don't think there's a significant difference.
"If we could find someone like Officer Cao, a criminal investigation officer with rich case-solving experience and strong game puzzle-solving skills, that would be ideal, but I think the possibility is low.
"We also need to consider potential crimes during the 'Judgement Game'.
"After all, like the crimes of Officer Cao, it should be considered an extreme exception, a fortunate case. If there were worse crimes, it could cause trouble for our community.
"Shall we do a simple show of hands, or proceed directly to voting?"
Cai Zhiyuan said, "We'll have an anonymous vote within the community. If we do a show of hands, some might hesitate to express their true thoughts."
Li Renshu nodded, went to the community's management office to submit the proposal, and soon the information appeared on the large screen.
Others also went to the management office to cast their votes.
Soon, the results were out.
[Proposal 1: New Recruit Selection - Young Male Military Member.]
[In Favor: 6 votes]
[Opposed: 5 votes]
[Proposal 2: New Recruit Selection - Young Male Police Officer.]
[In Favor: 5 votes]
[Opposed: 6 votes]
[The vote for the young male police officer was not passed.]
[The vote for the young male military member was passed, and the community will filter candidates according to this criteria and recruit players accordingly.]
Clearly, this vote was closer than any previous ones.
According to community rules, as long as more than half of the players agree, the proposal passes. Hence, with only 11 people in the community, 6 votes sufficed.
In principle, the vote wasn't entirely successful.
Because the votes were too close.
It would be best to have a second vote or adjust the voting details to further differentiate the numbers for the two options.
However, once a recruitment proposal is submitted, the community starts looking for suitable candidates, and it cannot be changed.
Li Renshu consoled, "No need to be too troubled over this result, as there's no absolute right or wrong between choosing military or police.
"I think some players chose different professions to avoid having the new member become Officer Cao's shadow or replacement.
"The military profession has its unique advantages as well.
"In any case, let's patiently await the new members' arrival!
"Now, we'll move to the volunteering phase for 'game cores'.
"Currently, Lawyer Lin and Brother Wang are the default game cores in our community, so we need one more leading core.
"Those confident in themselves can volunteer.
"But volunteering means trying to participate in as many future games as possible.
"We will evaluate the performances in three subsequent games to determine the new leading core.
"Of course, if all the volunteering players perform poorly in the games and are unsatisfactory to other players, we won't immediately appoint a new game core and will deliberate further."
Fu Chen was the first to raise his hand, "I'll volunteer first!"
He noticed the others looking at him strangely and explained, "Don't think I won't be able to do it. I can try my best! At least I hope to contribute to everyone."
Li Renshu nodded, "Yes, having the ability to break through predicaments is essential, but having the courage to take responsibility is also crucial.
"Just like Community 12, they chose Chen Guangming as a leading core, but Chen Guangming sold everyone out for gold coins.
"Such a person, regardless of how capable, can't be trusted.
"I hope everyone actively signs up, as becoming a leading core not only signifies rights but also responsibilities."
Yang Yuting also raised her hand, "I'd like to try as well. If possible, I'll take Lawyer Lin, Brother Wang, and Officer Cao as examples to help everyone earn more visa time in the games."
Cai Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and then raised his hand, "I'll sign up too."
Wei Yinzhang fell into thought but ultimately did not raise her hand. Instead, she said, "I won't volunteer for now.
"As mentioned before, my ability to break through in games is weak, so I don't consider myself suitable for the responsibility.
"However, if there's truly no suitable candidate in the community, I can reluctantly help share the responsibility."
Li Renshu nodded, "Hmm, I feel similarly.
"Alright, those who have signed up, please prepare well. We hope you perform excellently in the upcoming games!"
