In this paper, we analyse a variation of truel competitions in which each prospective player is represented by a node in a scale-free network. Without including any particular spatial arrangement of players, traditional game theory suggests that in many truel settings the strongest player often has the lowest probability of survival, a paradox that has been popularised by the term survival of the unfittest. However, both our single-run and the Monte-Carlo simulations suggest that this particular notion does not hold in scale-free networks. The spatial structure and arrangement of players are crucial for the outcome of truels, as in scale-free networks the number of players surviving the competition positively depends on their marksmanship (i.e., the strongest players indeed have the highest probability of survival).

在本文中，我们分析了真实比赛的变体，其中每个潜在玩家都由无标度网络中的一个节点表示。在不包括任何特定的玩家空间安排的情况下，传统博弈论表明，在许多真实的环境中，最强大的玩家通常具有最低的生存概率，这一悖论已因“不适应者的生存”一词而广为流传。. 然而，我们的单次运行和蒙特卡洛模拟都表明，这个特殊的概念在无标度网络中不成立。玩家的空间结构和排列对于真实的结果至关重要，因为在无标度网络中，在竞争中幸存的玩家数量正取决于他们的枪法（即，最强的玩家确实具有最高的生存概率）。
