Infinite Mask Game

Dancers on the dance floor stopped moving, and even the music on the scene became weaker.

After half an hour of warm-up activities, the dance finally entered the main stage.

"I believe that after a period of running-in, all players have already selected their favorite dance partners!"

"The free dance stage is about to begin!"

"Next, please listen carefully to the rules!"

The beam of light focused on the host again. He kept turning to face the players in all directions, and his low and magnetic voice overwhelmed all other sounds.

"This stage is divided into two halves, and both have the opportunity to gain reputation points!"

"The special activities in the first half are: wolf, sheep, and grass!"

"Each player will randomly obtain one of the three identities of wolf, sheep, and grass. The restraint relationship is that wolves eat sheep, sheep eat grass, and grass restrains wolves."

"To ensure fairness, the number of people in the three identities is the same. Yes, special guests will also participate in this event, a total of 108."

"Players can freely choose one of the three identities and show it, and it cannot be changed afterwards."

"In a total of 15 minutes, players can find dance partners and match freely. Everyone needs to complete five ballroom dances of at least 1 minute."

"The matching rules are as follows: If player A invites player B, player B can refuse. After being rejected by player B three times, player A will be invited to the dance. Player A cannot invite Player B again. If Player B agrees, the match is considered successful, and Player B must leave the dance floor within 1 minute, otherwise both parties will be considered failed. Repeated matches are not allowed. After reaching the upper limit of five games, the player will turn off the identity display. "

"The winning and losing rules are as follows: Player A matches Player B, and according to the restraint relationship, the winner will score 1 point, the loser will lose 1 point, and no points will be scored in a tie. Finally, the total score is calculated. Note: Negative scores are allowed. Overdue and unfinished games are counted as negative 1 point. "

"Ranking is based on scores, and the top 50% of players will receive 5 reputation points! Players with the same score will determine the ranking order based on the time it takes to complete the activity. "

"The above is the first half! The rules for the second half will be revealed after the end. "

The soul-stirring aftertaste lingered, and Wei Miao and Yu Lei each pondered and digested the rules.

The players were collectively silent.

This game doesn't sound complicated, but it is very complicated to think about it.

After the player gets the identity, the psychological game begins from the identity display stage.

There will really be a black ball of thread in the mind that begins to get tangled.

About a minute later, the host seemed to think that enough time had been reserved for the players to respond, and clapped his hands: "Then, start drawing random identities."

A scarlet system prompt box appeared in front of Wei Miao.

[Your identity is:...]

After a pause, it slowly showed the handwriting.

[Sheep! ]

Wei Miao looked calm, and glanced at Yu Lei, but he couldn't see anything.

Although masks can't make various expressions vividly compared to headgear, they are also less likely to expose themselves.

The players were all thinking.

Complex thoughts intertwined in Wei Miao's mind.

"There are three roles for players to choose from."

"In theory, once additional options are given, people tend to hide their true identity and choose another disguise to gain a false sense of security."

"For example, if I am a sheep, under the suggestion-like effect of the rule 'you can choose other identities', I generally will not choose to show my sheep, but choose wolf or grass."

"Similarly, I should try to match players who reveal their identities as wolves... wolf players for short. Applying the above theory, it is not easy for real wolves to reveal their wolves, and the real identity of wolf players is sheep or grass, so I will not lose. Compared with choosing sheep players or grass players, the risk is the lowest."

"Because the risk of sheep players and grass players being wolves is greater and more unpredictable."

"But this is just a theory, and I am not the only one who can think of it. If other players also practice this theory, then he will I think that normal players cannot choose their real identities, that is, the real grass will try to find sheep players. "

"Then open the second level of thinking, I choose to show my sheep identity, which can just restrain the real grass. "

"However, this will cause a roundabout problem. If a player chooses an identity according to the theory, the final choice is actually his own real identity. "

"Start the third level of thinking. Then I go to the wolf player, which is equivalent to walking into a trap. "

"Going to the grass player is the right way. "

"And the real wolf is afraid of the equality of the real identity and the exposed identity, but dare not go to the grass player, but will consider the sheep player. "

"However, the fourth level of players is based on the third level. The real wolf chooses to show the grass, and then uses this thinking to invite the wolf player. After all, the real sheep may also be in the fourth level. "

The sluggish cross-shaped double pupils slid around under his eyelids in a distracted manner.

"The fifth level of thinking is based on the fourth level. Zhencao chose Lianglang to lure the wolf player, Zhenlang chose Liangyang, and so on..."

"However, risks exist objectively. The top players are not fools. As for which level they will choose to stay at, who knows..."

"The main problem is how to disguise yourself. After all, the strategy of inviting others and accepting matching strategies may expose your true identity to a certain extent."

"You must score quickly in the early stage. The fewer people there are in the later stage, the more likely you are to be exposed. But in the middle stage, you must stop and observe for a while to confirm the target with greater confidence."

"There is actually no sure-fire way to win this game. It all depends on the level of the players' thinking. The corresponding strategies will be different. But using the above method will have a greater chance of winning."

"That is to say, it's not just the brain that counts, it's the face that counts..."

Wei Miao's seemingly confused eyes had a little focus, and she heard the host continue: "Please show your identity!"

Her eyes moved.

After careful consideration, she chose... to show grass.

The twists and turns in her thinking are a bit complicated.

Will the real wolf choose to match the wolf?

If the wolf player is a real wolf, then it's a draw; if this is a fake wolf, it may be a real sheep on the fourth floor, then it wins; it may also be a real grass on the fifth floor, then it loses. This choice is about seeking stability.

Will the real wolf choose to match the sheep?

If the sheep player is a real sheep, then it wins; if this is a fake sheep, it may be a real grass on the fourth floor, then it loses; it may also be a real wolf on the fifth floor, then it draws. This choice is about seeking victory.

Will the real wolf choose to match the grass?

The logic that the grass player is a real grass is at the second level, which is very easy to think of. If it is a fake grass, it is difficult to judge whether it is a wolf or a sheep. This choice seems to be the best according to the risk theory, but it is actually hard to say.

After comparing the three, the psychological repetition when the real wolf matches the grass player... is very torturous.

However, the above are just speculations based on our understanding of people. In fact, there is no rigorous argument and things are not absolute.

This is why there is no sure-fire way to win this game.

There is actually an invisible hint in the game rules.

Including negative points in the ranking calculation means that the middle score of the ranking will be around 0.

Not losing is winning may be too absolute, but it is absolutely right to think in this direction, which is why the focus of consideration is on the choice of the real wolf.
