Cheating Games
Plan to win
"Your fellow players just asked the question: "are you a woman?"." Said the Dealer repeating the question so that there is no reason for the players not to hear, or less clearly. So there is no misunderstanding.
"After the question is asked, each player will be given two ballot papers. One contains the participant number and the word 'yes'. Another one contains the participant number and the word 'no'. If you choose yes, put it in the appropriate box that says vote. Please remember, if both papers are included, you will be disqualified."
"Why can't we write the answer ourselves?" Ask the woman who has asked the question.
"To prevent unauthorized votes. The player can write something other than Yes or No or even write the name of the person on the sound paper. From here, you will have 6 hours to make a decision. In other words, you have 6 hours to put your voice."
"E-eh 6 hours???"
"??"
"6 hours to vote? Why?"
"Isn't that too long?"
The participants started whispering to each other because it was given so long, even though this game looks so simple.
"Of course if anyone wants to put his voice as fast as possible, it's okay. And if anyone wants to use the entire 6 hours and put his voice before the time runs out it is also still accepted. If a player does not put his vote in the allotted time, he will lose unconditionally. Please remember. Since this is just a practice, we will only give it 10 minutes. And..... Get started!"
When I started walking backwards, some players were talking to each other, whispering, and busy with themselves. It seems like there are some players who will refuse to talk to. Alice looked out her eyes.
"[Umm.. If I count, there are 6 women. All righty! We're minorities! But, the strange thing is why did it take 6 hours to decide such a simple thing?]"
It must also be thought by the players, there must be a purpose why given so long time. A few minutes later, with 1 minute left, the players immediately insert the ballot paper into the prepared vote box.
Ting!!!!
"Time's up! Now we'll count the votes. No. 5 yes, No. 11 no, No. 19 yes." The dealer is counting the votes by the votes. I'm a little worried, and so are the players. Even though this is just training.
The results were very surprising...
Yes 15 votes
No.: 7 votes
"The result is 15 to 7, no... In other words, those who voted "I'm a man" have become a minority... But, why? Why are men in the minority? I mean, aren't there only 6 women in total??!" Feeling confused, Alice decided to ask one of the men nearby.
"Hey, you.. Choose as a man, right?"
"I... Answer as a woman."
"Eh..?"
"Because it's obvious there's more men here, so I think I can win if I lie." Alice was surprised to hear the statement, so it could be said that the game did not fully answer the question correctly or honestly.
"Ho ho ho.. That's his game. The real essence is to choose something that will most likely be a minority. Whether it answers the question correctly or not is irrelevant. This is a Deception Game! In short, questions are just part of this game. The most important thing about this game is how you can become a minority or in other words, how you cheat your fellow players to become a majority. Following the minority is a strategy and investigating the path of each other's minds. For that, you are given 6 hours after each question is asked to fill your voice."
The players glanced at each other, I don't know what that glance meant. But, surely Alice has begun to understand enough with this game.
"Minority is a tough game. If you can read your opponent's mind, and your strategy is quite perfect, 21 to 1. It might happen in just one round. Allow me to give you one last piece of advice. The key to controlling this game is not the luck factor.. But time. While it may seem unimportant, the amount of time given to how you use it is everything in this game. I assure you, the player who uses his time as best as possible will win this game! The key to controlling this game is not luck."

"So, we're gonna end our training here." The dealer lowered his head and seemed to be leaving, before that happened, Alice raised her hand and asked a question while she could.
"Does that mean we'll be here all day?" This was thought by Alice because she had to visit her father who was in the hospital. Afraid of her if she does not visit her father in the next few days, her father will be worried and confused.
"(How do we get out?)"
"Because tomorrow the game starts, everyone has been given 100 million. In other words, the game has already begun. If anyone dares to quit this game... They would be instantly disqualified and forced to incur huge debts!"
After saying that, the dealer withdrew from our presence and exited through the masked door. After that, another masked man came from behind the door. We were guided to our rooms one by one. In the end, no one will leave...
"This is your room, Miss Alice." The masked man opened the door for Alice, and it seemed that the entire room looked very luxurious and quite spacious. Alice was flabbergasted for a moment. Slowly set his foot inside while circulating his gaze.
"That's amazing!" One word of first praise for this room from Alice, even this room is wider than the apartment room Alice.
"I'll come to call you 1 hour before the game starts. Good night." The man closed the door after he spoke. Alice had not yet answered. Because she felt sleepy and full stomach, Alice decided to sit on the sofa while continuing to look around.
"Then tomorrow is the real game.. Then, what am I supposed to do?" Alice pensively thought of something for a moment, confusion and worry began to pervade her mind.
"(I can't lose! I have to think of a plan.... But, is there a way to win in the Minority Rule game?)" Inner Alice, her pupils wandering around and around thinking about something, Alice tried to recall the words of the Dealer to win this game.
The key to controlling this game is not luck. But who can control time.
"(Wa-time...?? But... How should I use my free time?)" Inner Alice, to be honest she was still confused about the intent of controlling time. Although it has been given a hint, but somehow it does not help a little.
I'll have 6 hours to give you my choice. Maybe I can look around and find out the answers of the other participants?
"It's a tough job. After all, how do you know what other people's choices are? I mean, everyone here won the first round of the Deception Game. I'm not sure anyone will tell you the truth. I'll definitely be lied to again..."
It is highly unlikely that the players will tell the truth about the answer to their voices. It must be the beginning for them to lie to the players to each other if it happens to tell each other their answers. But, it seems like it will not happen, as players will definitely be more cautious.
"Hhh.....!! What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do??! Can't I do anything?!" Not long after that, Alice suddenly had an idea in her mind.
Or maybe I can see the choice by standing near the ballot box?
This idea sounds pretty stupid and naive, but somehow Alice got the idea. Even so Alice tried to think about the possibilities that occurred if she carried out the idea.
"..... Hmmmm.... Can it be done?" Alice stroked her chin in doubt.
"If the sound card is folded into four parts.. Well... No matter how you try it, it's impossible to see what it contains!" As the plan was useless and would be in vain, Alice slowly grew frustrated, but she tried once again to think of another plan.
"Ngh.... No!! There must be a way! Way to use my time....!" Alice rebelled and covered her face as if she did not accept her frustrated thoughts as if she had no plans to win.
"Yah!! That's it!"
Make majority! As in politics, gather people and make a majority!
"Eh, wait...." Alice held her forehead as if she had forgotten something. Being chased by time he became panicked and thought impassively.
"If I make a majority, I can't win. It's a minority game! Ah.. I forgot about that.. There is no way to win without being in the minority! Uhhh! I don't know!! What am I supposed to do?! Is there a way to win?! Me, I'm going to lose?? Nah! Nah! Nah! Helpme! Someone help me!! Da-Daniel save me!!" With bad thoughts, I started crying hysterically. I went out to see Daniel.
I have no one else to turn to except him. I went around the hotel looking for her, but I didn't know where her room was, if there were names or numbers of participants on every door, it would be very helpful. However, it does not exist. I kept looking in every room and down such a long hallway.
Until I get to the lobby. There, I found a lot of people gathered. They seemed to be suffering from anxiety, and probably went around until they finally got here like me. I circled my eyes trying to find Daniel. After a long search, I finally found him in the corner of the room. He was standing with the wall.
"That's it! Daniel's! " I shouted and waved to him hoping he saw his presence. Daniel looked at her with a confused expression.
"Help me.. L'm... I'm..."
"What.. Can't sleep?"
"I... I can't stop thinking about it.. But.. I can't find a plan to win.." Alice's cries made her the center of attention a little, but it didn't last long. Alice continued to wipe away her tears.
"Well... If you want to win, you first need to stop crying! Calm back.. Then know your enemy..!" Daniel said without seeing Alice beside him.
