Prison Island

Chapter 41 Four Types of Voting
The base of the White Camp is a tube-shaped building made entirely of metal.

There are two floors in total and it is very spacious.

There is a round table in the middle of the first floor, which looks like it can be used for projection.

One side of the surrounding walls had a floor-to-ceiling window, through which one could see an open space outside, with some scattered debris and rocks, and even blood-stained weapons, like a gladiatorial arena!

They were like a VIP viewing room next to the arena.

Just opposite, there is an identical tube building, but it is black on the outside.

From the French window, one could see a vague figure inside, but it was too far away, about a hundred meters, and not very clear.

"Are you asking our two camps to duel?"

Suler looked around the first floor and saw two doors, one probably leading to the arena, and the other was the door for them to enter.

The entrance door closed automatically when the time was up, and it would obviously only open when the game was over.

In addition, there are stairs on both sides leading to the second floor.

Dongfang Yi walked down from the second floor: "There are twenty-five rooms upstairs. They are empty, but they seem to be able to project. If the number of people corresponds, a camp can have a maximum of twenty-five people."

Gao Xin found a chair and sat down: "Listen to the rules first."

Xing Shiping took out his notebook very seriously, preparing to write down all the rules.

Soon, No. 97 appeared in the center of the round table, presenting text like a scroll wheel while narrating.

[In the game "Glass Cannon", the black and white bases take turns to launch a 'Duel Invitation' against the other base.]

[The content of the 'Duel Invitation' is customizable, with options. The first round has two options, the second round can have three, and so on. It can be increased indefinitely. It is arranged by the people in the initiating base. The editing time is ten minutes. After being determined at the round table, it will be sent to the voting room on the second floor of the other party's base. ]

[All members of the opposing base must enter a voting room individually within one minute, and be in a state where no one can communicate with each other, before they can see the duel invitation letter and vote to make their own choice.]

[When everyone in the base votes unanimously on the invitation letter, it is considered a refusal to duel. ]

[If there is no agreement, or if all votes are not completed, it will be deemed that the duel is accepted. ]

[The base that accepts the duel must send a glass man to become a gladiator to participate in the battle within three minutes. Otherwise, it will be automatically counted as the loser of this round. ]

[The base that initiates the duel can send any one person to become a gladiator to participate in the battle within three minutes. ]

[Each round, a base can only have one gladiator. The decision is made by all members voting. The one with the highest votes will be the gladiator for this round. The gladiator must enter the arena within one minute. Those who violate the rules will be killed.]

[When both gladiators enter the arena, an unregulated death match will begin until one of them dies. During the death match, no third party may interfere with the fight. Violators will be killed.]

[During non-fighting time, no one is allowed in the arena. The winner must return to the base within one minute. Those who violate the rules will be killed.]

[The defeated camp will lose 1 camp health point. Each camp has 5 health points. When one camp's health points are emptied, the game ends. After the game ends, all members of the camp with emptied health points will be killed.]

Speaking of which, No. 97 projected a white number above, a big '5', as if symbolizing five points of life.

When everyone heard this, their faces turned strange.

Glass cannon, this is what it means?
They take turns to initiate a duel. The accepting party can only send out glass men to participate in the battle, while the attacking party can send out anyone they want.

In a fight in the arena, is there any doubt about the outcome? As long as the attacking party sends out the radiator, the glass man will die!

In other words, both sides are "high attack and low defense", like cannons made of glass.

When attacking, they would definitely send out the strongest "cannonballs", but when defending, they would only have glass men whose defenses were as fragile as "glass".

As long as the duel is established, the attacking side will definitely win!

No wonder there are at least five glass men in a camp, because if five glass men die, all the health will be deducted!

"Damn, we don't have any radiators here. Our attack and defense are low..." Suler grabbed his hair.

Their camp is democratic, but all of them are made of glass. Their fighting power is far inferior to that of the opponents. They will break at the slightest touch when defending, and they may not necessarily win when attacking.

"The key operation lies in the design of the 'Duel Invitation'. Only when everyone votes unanimously can it be the real 'defense'..." Qiao Long murmured.

Dongfang Yi said in a deep voice: "There are rules, how can there be no death for those who radiate radiation?"

I saw No. 97 was still talking.

[In the global game, there are also rules for betrayal and extermination of traitors. ]

[After each invitation voting phase, in the voting room, each camp can also launch a vote to persuade any member of the other camp to defect. All members must make the same choice in order for the defection to succeed.]

[Players can defect to other factions multiple times, and defection notifications will be projected directly to the target's retina. ]

[A defected player can initiate a connection to the opposing base at any time in the voting room and designate a player to communicate.]

[When the fight is over, the defeated camp can launch a campaign to exterminate traitors. They can vote to kill any member of the base. As long as more than half of the votes are cast, the extermination will be successful.]

Only then did everyone's brows relax a little.

There is also the gameplay of betrayal and anti-espionage, where each side places undercover agents in the opposing camp?

Yes, if it's just a glass cannon fight, then the Radiator is invincible.

And now, if you want to kill the radiator on the opposite side, there is a way.

First make a radiator defect, and then try to tell the other side that when the other side comes to kill the traitor, as long as they get more than half of the votes, they can kill him directly.

Of course, in this game, unity within the base is very important. People don’t have to kill the traitors and wait to defect back next time.

But the members of the black side are too complicated. There are nine radiators and ten glass men. The radiators are divided into two factions. There are at least three mindsets in the whole camp!
Voting is conducted in closed voting rooms.

The strong may be able to kill people at will and take revenge, but they cannot directly control the vote.

In this game, the more people in the base, the better. There are four voting mechanisms in total! If there are too many people at the beginning, the voting will be very chaotic.

From this point of view, the white team has a great advantage.

Finally, No. 97 also stated the reward rules.

[When the game ends, all members of the last surviving camp will receive indulgence points equal to the remaining health points of the camp multiplied by 1000.]

[Whether by force or by killing traitors, every time a player kills a player from the enemy camp, he will receive an additional 1000 points of indulgence. ]

Everyone sighed. Sure enough, when it came to the reward rules, killing was encouraged again.

And it is also possible to kill directly by force.

In other words, as long as you know who around you has become a hostile camp, you can just draw your sword and chop the other person down. There is no need for a vote to eliminate traitors.

Of course, the collective reward for killing traitors should be greater, because all those who voted for the corresponding kill points should be able to receive rewards.

This can give the glass man more chances to survive, allowing the strong to choose to protect the glass man, gain more votes, and finally get more indulgences by collecting protection fees... Similar to the negotiation between a dog and a mouse, it can be said that this is one of the common ways for the weak in all games to survive.

However, in this game, negotiation is unlikely to work.

Because the glass men also have the power of life and death, and the ten glass men on the black team are all NPCs. No matter how they complete the game, they will not get indulgence in the end.

In a mid-range game, NPCs are really consumables and are almost certain to die.

"The game begins immediately, with the black side attacking first. The duel invitation will be sent out within ten minutes." After No. 97 said this, he no longer appeared.

Dongfang Yi sneered: "It turned out that the other side attacked first. Is it because they have more people?"

Qiao Long stroked his chin and said, "There are too many people in the black base, and they are not united, so it is difficult to vote unanimously, which is a disadvantage." "Compared to that, it is much simpler on our side. As long as we unite as one, we can stabilize the vote."

"If we tell the other side about the traitor, they might just start killing each other. After all, killing them can earn you an extra 1000 points."

"It doesn't matter if there's no infighting. As long as there are enough defectors, it means that there are many people in the opposing base who will help our White Team, which will further lead to inconsistent votes."

Xing Shiping from the servant team said with a vigilant look, "But the other side will also try to incite our people to defect. In the first vote, they were all on the black side, with no conflict of interest, so how could they fail to defect?"

"Once there are traitors in our White Team, it will be difficult to reach a consensus on subsequent invitation votes."

Qiao Long smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I emphasize unity. We must truly unite, regardless of whether our identities are black or white."

"If I had defected, I would have confessed directly and still voted for you."

"Because I have my friends here. This game is played in a team, not just by orphans."

"No matter what, the five of us will definitely advance and retreat together. Xing Shiping, I think the same is true for you and your partner, right?"

"Of course!" Xing Shiping was stunned and looked back at the teammates he brought with him. The other four seemed to be looking at him pitifully.

Xing Shiping said firmly: "We have reasons to win this game no matter what, at least we have to get out alive."

Qiao Long smiled and said, "Yes, we are the same."

"We are all the same people. In comparison, the other party's thoughts are much more complicated."

"So as long as our two teams can trust each other and cooperate, we will definitely win."

Xing Shiping nodded heavily. It was indeed much easier to talk to them and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It is hard to imagine how uncomfortable the situation would be if there were a few radiator players around at this time.

Thinking of this, he looked at Gao Xin.

The rules of this game are complicated and there are many ways to play. It is one way to play if there are radiators on both sides, it is another way to play if one side is full of glass people, and it is yet another way to play if both sides are broken up and divided into small teams.

The allocation of camps at the beginning is so important that it almost determines the direction of the entire game.

"It's a good thing that you took the position to block the door, even at the risk of offending the Viking Gang, otherwise we would be in trouble now." Xing Shiping said sincerely.

Gao Xin smiled and said, "What's the big deal if I offend them?"

"In the eyes of the radiators, the glass man is like a walking indulgence. Don't be afraid of offending people. You have to be more ruthless than them!"

Dongfang Yi also said coldly: "Kill them, and when the vote comes later, everyone will vote for the one with the hammer."

Qiao Long looked at Gao Xin: "Captain, what do you think?"

Gao Xin pondered and said, "Actually, I would like to instigate an NPC to rebel first..."

"But you can also persuade Hammer to rebel first... You just want to provoke them to kill each other."

Xing Shiping came to his senses: "Yes, once the radiator on the other side defected and became a white identity, then in his eyes, everyone around him would be in the enemy camp!"

"If he kills one person, he will get 1000 indulgences! He will definitely kill five first."

"Given that guy's character, he will definitely do that."

Dongfang Yi grinned and said, "Do you think the other group of radiators are dead? As long as the hammer man dares to act rashly, no matter what the reason is, the twin-tailed man will definitely suspect that he has betrayed us."

"Besides, the glass man over there is like a lamb to be slaughtered. There are only so many of them. If the hammer man kills one, the twin-tailed man will have one less indulgence to earn in the future. So she will probably stop it."

"The Twin-Ponytails team is fully staffed with five people, and the Vikings only have four. I'm sure the Hammer Man won't dare to act rashly."

Meimei couldn't help but say, "Even if he doesn't make any rash moves, we can spread the news. The glass man over there is afraid of him and will kill him if he gets a chance."

Gao Xin said: "That's why I said that I want to turn the glass man against me."

"The glass man certainly doesn't dare to be exposed."

"It's possible that 'Sledgehammer' will confess directly, and then reach an agreement with the Twintails, forming a powerful alliance, and then blocking our vote on subversion."

"After all, in this game, there is no reason for the strong to fight each other. There is a win-win situation..."

Sule was stunned. Was the vote on subversion stuck?

Yes, the vote for defection is for everyone in the camp, which naturally includes those who have defected from the opposing base!
If the defector is on the white team but is still helping the black team, then their white team will always be one vote short and will not be able to defect a second person.

"My goodness, I thought these people were all voting from the same base." Sule blinked.

Meimei looked at him: "How is that possible? Remember the rules clearly."

"There are four types of voting in total. The first type is the invitation letter voting, which is voted by people from the same base and must be unanimous."

"The second type of gladiator voting is for people from the same base to vote, and the one with the highest number of votes goes to fight."

"The third type of vote is for people in the same camp to vote, and all members must be unanimous."

"The fourth type of vote to exterminate traitors is also for people from the same base, and requires a majority of the votes."

Meimei was able to sort out these rules and regulations very quickly, and she had memorized them all after listening to them once.

Finally, he said: "This game is about trying every possible way to break through the opponent's camp."

"We also need to constantly instigate the other side. Anyway, the number of people in the final camp does not affect the reward."

"In fact, there is a sure-fire way to win, and that is to take the initiative to join the opposing camp..."

"For example, if we cooperate with the black team, no matter what our identities are, we will help the other team first, fight a tacit battle, and always refuse to duel. If it drags on until everyone betrays us! Finally, we can give away five drops of blood and end the game."

"At this point, everyone is in the black camp, surviving easily, and everyone has received a 5000-point reward."

Gao Xin sighed: "This is an ideal situation. If everyone trusts each other and cooperates, then every game will be easy."

"But people's minds are unpredictable. People have different purposes for participating in the game. Some just want to survive, while others want to get more."

"You can only persuade one person to defect in a round. How long will it take to convince everyone to defect? ​​If any one of them fails, trust will collapse."

"Besides, a camp has a maximum of 25 people. What about the remaining five?"

"Finally, don't forget that the Vikings will kill me."

Everyone was in awe. Indeed, Gao Xin and the Viking Gang had a mortal feud.

If the Vikings want to discuss this kind of cooperation, their condition must be... first take Gao Xin's head as a token of loyalty, then we can talk...

If he agreed without mentioning this, that would be even worse. Who knows what bad things he was planning?

From the very beginning, a group of radiators had been offended and there was no way they could trust each other.

But Gao Xin said: "But let's still work hard in this direction."

"At least, we can try to keep all the glass men alive. The NPCs on the other side definitely just want to survive."

Hearing this, Xing Shiping looked at Gao Xin strangely.
