Uh.

How's being black and Muslim compare to being black and old?

I have diversity points to!

And we could have the coolest costumes.
 
Why are you talking about being muslim. I just used the word "rasta" in the place of jamican.
 
Anyway, I'll probably tally the votes sometime in the late evening tomorrow, so in roughly 21 hours from the moment, this is posted.

Sure. When you panic and are on edge in any situation, especially social ones, people will actually admire you for bravery and cling to you like flies to a pebble made from sugar-encrusted feces.
 
Oh, yeah. Before I go to sleep, I just wanna mention that this will play a lot differently from any other attribute option, as it will drastically change the gameplay:

Heathcliff will pretty much be your arch-nemesis and you will become famous all across the playerbase. People won't necessarily hate you, neither will they recognize you by face, but the name and rumors about the player who "lives" will spread and people might seek your services for suicide missions since you of all people can afford to take the risk. Guilds will also race to get you in them, except for the Knights of the Red Oath who will relentlessly hunt you down at Heathcliff's orders. Also, from time to time you might find a glitch or two to take advantage of, which the Cardinal System will fix at once when you use it to your advantage too much.

Just putting that out there if anyone makes a plan with this when I'm sleeping and it gains traction.

Could we possibly find a glitch in the glitch-finding system?

Honestly, I think this plan works better as a Kirito-but-better plan. Mostly because it establishes a character outside of "Videogame-Jesus."

Seriously, writing that "bought" a NerveGear thing shit is weird, and I didn't know how to handle it. How can people afford to play this damn game when the equipment itself would probably cost thousands? The estimate I put out there was a very charitable guess of what the price could have been.

Eh, whatever. The entire purpose of fiction is to sweep stuff like this under the rug.

SAO tech is waaaaay ahead of ours. Especially in medical tech, but really just about everywhere.

They get more love than Rogue classes. I've yet to find a stealth quest on this site.
 
@Birdsie

[ ] PC Master Race - When the nervegear first came out, it was an expensive bug-ridden toy and it wasn't long before someone made an emulator for it. You installed the emulator on your gaming PC, worked as a beta-tester, and by the time the first full-dive MMO was running you were an expert at playing a full-body avatar using only a game controller and an old-fashioned VR headset. When things turned into a death game, you were completely safe from the nervegear's deadly effect. However, your avatar isn't.


Basic idea is that we didn't buy the nervegear hardware and instead are running our game using a top of the line gaming PC, some older hardware, and an emulator. So even if our character gets killed, we're safe. We can also technically leave the game any time. Maybe it's set up so that each time we die in-game we can roll up a new character to help the people inside, or work with the authorities to help out. Not sure if this would totally break the quest, but I think it would be kind of cool/interesting if not everyone was playing with the nervegear that microwaves your brain if your avatar dies.

So our quest would be more like our RL self playing a PC game and trying to help out the people stuck in the game.
