“You might be speaking nonsense!” Participant Quantity 11 couldn’t bear it any longer and stated, “That’s not how the chance is calculated.”

“—So what?”

Nonetheless, Scrumptious Wind Goose instantly raised his voice and threatened, “If you happen to select to vote me out now, it implies that there will probably be a assassin with a ‘kill’ on the primary evening!”

He instantly moved the subject to a different path, not lingering with the earlier chance drawback.

Scrumptious Wind Goose stated rapidly and confidently as he moved the members’ consideration to a different matter, “By then, you continue to can’t make certain who the killer is. The killer has achieved his aim so long as there are not less than two deaths tonight. Thus, the state of affairs will evolve into both one individual being neglected or three members failing to attain the killing quota.

“Except it’s the first situation and your elimination votes are appropriate on the third and fourth days, solely then can the killer be stopped. That’s as a result of the third evening will nonetheless return to the opportunity of ‘being killed at any second’.

“Why can’t we stop the second situation? That’s as a result of the variety of murderers on the second day exceeded three, equal to 4 individuals committing homicide on the primary day. Villagers can’t defend themselves. If you happen to can not determine the assassin, you gained’t have the ability to fulfill the profitable situation.

“In different phrases, the assassin faction will win so long as greater than three individuals select to kill tonight!”

Scrumptious Wind Goose added firmly, “Once I informed you about this, you knew this truth, and also you knew that different individuals additionally knew this truth. Then this has develop into public information amongst us.

“Thus, the ending has already been decided!”

—Time was up.

It simply so occurred that the designated interval for everybody to talk overtly had simply ended.

Outdated Goose had calculated the time in his thoughts. His aim was to cease others from having the possibility to talk.

His nonsense was illogical, however he believed his convincing inferences ought to mislead some individuals.

Ultimately, Scrumptious Wind Goose realized this was not a logical puzzle recreation.

As an alternative, it was a recreation to incite the others.

The purpose was to not discover out the reality however to get others to behave on his phrases.

His speech was resounding and assured, and he gave out lots of data.

Not many individuals might discover his logical error in a brief interval.

Contemplating the price of rationalization, when you couldn’t clarify clearly to others, you might solely select to cooperate with others. Like the start of an irreversible chaotic warfare, those that realized the reality might solely waft.

It was unattainable for everybody to decide on the optimum technique. Even when everybody selected the optimum technique, it was not essentially the optimum resolution as a complete.

After the four-minute public chat interval, Scrumptious Wind Goose obtained a personal chat instantly.

It was not Dove being labeled as Quantity 8, nor Anderson being labeled as Quantity 12.

As an alternative, it was Quantity 2. He was the actual idol wizard.

He knew Outdated Goose was a pretend Idol Wizard, however that didn’t have an effect on the 2 of them killing individuals collectively.

They deliberate to select a goal. Then, they’d kill the goal, one after the opposite. In any case, they’d each get a kill. It will be the identical for the next evening.

Later, Quantity 7 despatched a personal chat request as nicely. He additionally made the same proposal to Outdated Goose.

When Quantity 2 despatched a personal chat invitation to Outdated Goose, Quantity 9, who had beforehand clashed with Dove, additionally despatched a personal chat to Dove to ally.

The one one who realized that Outdated Goose was bullshitting was Quantity 11. Though he was a step behind the others, he additionally reacted. Thus, he additionally expressed curiosity in becoming a member of an alliance with Anderson, the Quantity 12.

Immediately, the peace was over.

“…Performed.” The corners of Annan’s mouth raised.

As for who the final “Wolf King” was, it didn’t matter anymore as a result of he was destined to be born.

[TN: “Wolf King” refers to the person who kills twice in the ritual.]

After all, Annan observed there was an optimum resolution to this recreation. That may be having everybody undergo three rounds with out doing something. This is able to result in the “peace ending”.

It was identical to the “peace” that had been maintained beforehand.

However this required “collusion,” identical to “peace” in actuality.

So why would wars occur when everybody knew that “preserving the peace was good for everybody”?

A “peaceable state” might solely be reached if everybody believed everybody else would preserve peace.

It was like the 2 firms didn’t problem vouchers and have interaction in value wars. This was one of the best state of affairs collectively, and everybody might get higher returns. But when somebody began a value warfare first, the opposite occasion who didn’t do it might not survive.

This was what Scrumptious Wind Goose was going for.

So long as everybody realized that the opportunity of others’ killing was opened, they’d quickly understand they’d lose in the event that they sat idle for 3 rounds. It was unattainable to cease the killer with out utilizing abilities. Nonetheless, so long as abilities have been used, killing turned simpler.

Thus, they needed to commit homicide, not less than getting two kills.

When all wizards didn’t use abilities, everybody needed to head out and kill randomly for 3 rounds. It was attainable that the wolf king would even be killed. Thus, the wizard who had one kill should additionally preserve killing, attempting to get two kills earlier than sticking to a defensive strategy to safe their survival.

After the “peace” was damaged, and everybody had an consciousness of “what if others select warfare”, everybody would take part within the endless “warfare”.

This silly technique, quite the opposite, could be the Nash equilibrium [1] of this warfare recreation.

That was the only option for everybody when different individuals’s methods remained unchanged.

Whether or not others had been in peace or warfare, it might not go improper after selecting warfare. However these “appropriate choices” added up on one another and have become a devastating mistake.

“So, that is warfare…” Annan took a deep breath.

He appeared to odor the stench of blood and gunpowder from this ritual.

No surprise…

No surprise this ritual will be established.

At first, Annan thought that this Wizard Conflict Recreation was about Wizards who borrowed energy from Mysterious Girl. In any case, the ultimate winner would develop into a wizard.

Nevertheless it appeared that it most likely borrowed energy from “the Conflict Deity”, Pink Knight.

This ritual had touched the core Fact of the Pink Knight very a lot.

Pink Knight would give this ritual a beneficiant reward.

“I don’t want to observe this anymore.” Annan sighed and turned off the stay broadcast.

The ending was already set.

The gamers would have already gained until they have been unfortunate sufficient to die on the second and third nights.

With everybody being dragged into the mess, “surviving the warfare” was only a recreation of luck.

“Ike Searing-Fang should be a genius to give you this ritual.” Longjing Tea was sharp.

Dove was additionally fast to reply.

Though Scrumptious Wind Goose was surprised for some time, he rapidly adjusted his state.

Ultimately, he didn’t disappoint Annan.

The corners of Annan’s mouth rose barely.

The gamers lastly started to mature.
