Tachikawa: The game is progressing at a faster pace than expected. Why don’t we have a look back time here?
Nishio: Yes, especially the first game was difficult.
Male Y: At first I was confused because I didn’t know the rules. I didn’t know how to bluff, so I tried it out and saw what would happen if a werewolf exposed a werewolf. From there I learned that werewolves are exposed. the second time, from the beginning, I didn’t say anything and just watched. the third time, I finally realized that it is important to quickly find out who your allies are.
Nishio: While werewolves have an advantage because they know each other, they also have the disadvantage of a small number of people. It is a good balance.
Male Y: Exactly.
Tachikawa: I see.
Nishio: Relationships are different among members, so I think we will have completely different relationships.
Male X: I try to behave as honestly as possible because the relationship will continue after the game.
Nishio: Lying is for games. We need to separate it from reality.
Tachikawa: I think people who lie well when they are werewolves enjoy the game.
Nishio: Indeed. It is a necessary element to enjoy the game.
Male X: Exactly. Some people are not good liars, but I think it’s an important part of enjoying the game.
Nishio: In game theory, the optimal solution is for everyone to cooperate in an infinite number of iterations. But reality is finite, so there is a possibility of betrayal. I think it is important to build from small, trustworthy groups.
Man X: I think you are right. The ideal is a society where everyone cooperates. But realistically it is difficult, so we will have to expand it little by little.
Nishio: Yes, I agree. I believe that betrayal in games can help build trust. If you intend to betray in real life, where money is involved, you would not play that way in a game.
Male X: Yes, I think you are right.
It was a good conversation that allowed us to understand each other’s humanity through wargames.
