Community Fund
Chapter 524 Community Fund
Lu Bingjun lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense."
"However, I think it's best not to modify the community fund rules for the time being."
“The exact nature of the ‘negative state’ is still unclear, and changing the community fund rules could trigger a series of unpredictable and complex consequences.”
"It would be better to wait until the 'negative situation' is fully clear before we discuss it in detail and make a decision."
Ye Lin did not insist further, and no one else offered any opinions.
Lu Bingjun stood up: "Alright, let's end this discussion here!"
"A new phase, a new beginning. With the addition of new members, the community has grown stronger. Although we will face unknown challenges, I believe that our second community will be able to work together and get better and better!"
We will be having dinner together tonight.
"Gentle and graceful."
He looked at a female player on his left with exquisite makeup and long, curly hair: "You'll be in charge of arranging this dinner party again."
……
After leaving the long table, everyone got busy with their own tasks.
Player No. 2, Yao Yuan, did not speak in the previous meeting and had little presence. His profession was an ordinary company employee, and even in the new world, he still seemed to carry a faint "classroom vibe".
He immediately found the two new players, Qin Cheng and Huang Shengjie, and helped them familiarize themselves with the community environment and understand the relevant rules.
Another new player, Lu Qi, was claimed by Ye Lin.
Wen Wan introduced herself as working in e-commerce, and it's clear that she previously played a role similar to a "housekeeper" in the community, usually arranging group meals.
She approached fitness coach Deng Xiao, her aunt Geng Yuxia, and administrative supervisor Zhou Wanlin to start arranging the evening's dinner, including finalizing the menu and purchasing the necessary supplies from the vending machine.
Since the original staff of Community 2 had already divided up their responsibilities, Lin Sizhi and Shen Bowen, the two "outsiders" from other communities, didn't have much to do.
Lin Sizhi asked Lu Bingjun for the paper version of the community's proposals to date, and to review the community fund rules.
A moment later, Shen Bowen walked over from the direction of the book section and picked up a few books.
She noticed Lin Sizhi looking at the community proposals, so she sat down opposite him and asked, "Could you let me take a look after you've finished reading them?"
Lin Sizhi nodded and handed over what she had already finished reading.
Shen Bowen also read it carefully from beginning to end.
Community 2 has only one type of community fund, called the "Community Development Fund".
It has two different payment methods:
The first type is mandatory payment, whereby each player must unconditionally contribute 30% of the time they spend acquiring visas in the game to the fund;
The second option is voluntary contribution, where each player can voluntarily contribute any excess visa time to the fund, with no limit on the amount.
Voluntary contributions to the community fund do not offer any obvious additional benefits, but the specific amount contributed by each player will be recorded and sorted.
The community fund contributions already made cannot be freely withdrawn.
Players can only take out an interest-free loan once in the event of an emergency, borrowing 3 minutes of visa time, which must be repaid within one month.
In addition, the following two rules are explicitly stated in the rules.
[1. When conflicts and disagreements arise among players within the community, everyone must consider the 'ranking of players' community fund contributions' to determine the final compromise.] [2. The community fund contribution of the community leader (limited to one person) will be recorded as '130%'. (This only affects the ranking, not the actual value.)]
Lin Sizhi went to the vending machine again and checked the specific amounts and rankings of all players who had contributed to the community fund.
As the core players of the game, Lu Bingjun and Ye Lin contributed the most to the community fund.
Moreover, it is likely because the rules include the rule that "the leader is counted as 130%", that the numbers in this ranking clearly have three different levels.
Lu Bingjun paid approximately 30, Ye Lin paid approximately 20, while the other players paid amounts that generally hovered around tens of thousands.
Some players paid less than 3, which means they didn't pay voluntarily at all, only the part that was forced to pay.
However, Lu Bingjun's actual contribution should be around 24. Because he is a community leader, his contribution was weighted at 130%, so it is displayed as 30 in the ranking.
There are "immunity tickets" in the community, which will cool down in about two weeks. There are also "first player identity cards". However, there is no rule in the community rules about "rotating use", so they should be directly given to Lu Bingjun to use.
Currently, the rewards activated by the community fund in this community are around 600,000, not 900,000 or higher. Therefore, the corresponding functions such as "immunity voucher and first player identity card cooldown reduction", "identity card fourth privilege (2000 minutes of visa time per day)" and "discount coupon" have not been activated.
That is, it is roughly the same level of community building that Community 17 achieved after the "Simple Q&A".
After reviewing the rules, Shen Bowen seemed thoughtful: "When players in the community have conflicts and disagreements, the 'ranking of players' community fund contributions' must be considered to determine the final compromise?"
"These rules seem a bit..."
She couldn't think of a good way to put it at first, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "At first glance, it seems to differentiate players into different classes based on the rules, and it is assumed that the more funds you pay, the more say you will have."
"But this rule is not mandatory; it can only be followed by the community's players on their own initiative, so that those players who contribute less funds will voluntarily give in."
"But what if the other party doesn't back down? Then this rule is just a piece of paper."
Lin Sizhi said, "As long as the rules are clearly written out, even if they are not particularly operable and binding, they will still have a certain binding force."
“Every community explores the rules that best suit its own circumstances, and these rules are not static.”
"In your previous community, what level of products were activated by the community fund?"
Shen Bowen thought for a moment and said, "Only the immunity coupon was activated."
"Most players in our community are very resistant to donating to the community, so there is no cooperation or community building. We are more like neighbors living under the same roof."
And you?
Lin Sizhi truthfully replied, "We did donate a lot."
Shen Bowen then asked, "Is it over 60? Or over 90?"
Lin Sizhi nodded: "It's over."
Shen Bowen looked very surprised: "So your community didn't manage to retain its core team? Or were you just unlucky and didn't make it into the core team?"
Lin Sizhi smiled helplessly: "There are always some unexpected situations that can happen."
Shen Bowen didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the current community proposal again and continued to frown and think.
