I'm totally in for worm memes making their way into the SAO verse :grin:

[X][Update Action] There's no such thing as bug-free code.
-[X][Update Action] File a bug report about the lack of bug reports. Maybe find some other kind of feedback form to submit? Seriously, you don't care if this game is run by the best AI in all of existence, this just seems arrogant beyond belief. Nothing ever works perfectly on the first time, and even if Cardinal catches bugs and fixes them on the fly, why would you trust it to catch every single bug on its own, but not let it look at user-submitted issues? Actually, screening user feedback and running them through Cardinal would probably be an excellent way to develop game balance, now that you think about it, and - [tinker rambling intensifies]

Edit: This is much better than my previous vote, maybe this'll catch on.

This would still go under the Update Action task, since it's what you want to do for this update and should be addressed in that decision-making process. Tasks are to separate logically distinct decisions that should be voted on independently or nearly independently. For example, I'll be separating "action" and "choose character portrait" votes using tasks, and for some decisions will give separate "do thing y/n" and "how to do thing" tasks.

So you'd probably want something like "[][Update Action] Go find other players to ask about the disabled logout function".

Shift-Control-V is the keyboard shortcut for "paste without formatting". It'll lose you italics, bolds, underlines, and the like, but it'll also get rid of the black background.

I'm on a Mac, mate, the keyboard command for the equavalent on here turns your fingers into a pretzel.

Well. I guess we're not here after the death-game aspect has already been established. I was kinda hoping we were, somehow. So we get to witness the mass-freak-out that follows that revelation. And Yui's subsequent descent into madness. Oh goody. So, you guys want to try and stand in the way of said freak-out and prevent it from escalating or what? Personally, I'm pretty sure we won't be able to stop it, it's going to be far too big for any one person to prevent.

Tinker Thinker time!

We should consider role playing as a mad scientist golemancer later.

Huh.

Also, question for a little later - there was that 'gift' that Kayaba gave that showed everybody as their real-life counterpart.

Dragon doesn't have a body.

Admittedly, this would probably be answered in the next one or two posts, but the thought just came to mind.

It's supposed to go in the same order as the rhyme they use to teach the classifications, but I can never remember it. So maybe?

Call me old-fashioned, but I think being in the middle of a death-game would probably mean that RP'ing is contraindicated.

Explain the guilds all acting like Knights and the PvPers acting like crazy assholes, then? :V

Eh, we can always try. Dragon is- was?- an AI, after all. We can just put all that processing power towards helping Yui get through the incoming breakdown.
Also, time to ship DragonxYui. You can't stop me!

...magic coding?
Now that I think about it, Yui's the same, right? I guess the game just built a character for us.
...dammit, we skipped character creation. There go my plans to make Dragon look like an actual dragon, for once.

Yeah, and most of the other players are going to be people whose minds are slowly crumbling pretending to be people who aren't going insane, what's your point?

The first is because there are reasons why knights acted like knights, and those reasons apply in this scenario. The second is because they're the people who aren't pretending to not be going insane from the stress.

Helping Yui and reducing the death-toll in the first month or two of the death-game are two different things. If we want to do the latter, we should probably work on honing our unique skill, to the point where we can use Golems to scout bosses' weak-points and patterns without risking lives.

I think we should start exploring how our Golem Construction ability works ASAP. Being able to create artificial fighters should be incredibly helpful once the death-game gets started, assuming we get exp in some skill for their actions, anyway. They're a way to fight without risking our own lives, and it's possible we'll be able to use them to trigger traps or scout ahead for us, if we train the skill high enough. It is possible they'll be expensive in-terms of crafting materials, but not dying is worth any amount of crafting materials or gold, honestly. Hell, just having them to take up watch-duty at night should be valuable.

True. I'm leaning towards helping Yui, because IMO reducing the death toll seems too big of a task too soon. Though, if it helps Yui and she specifically asks us too, then I'm okay with that.

Yeah, the golems sound pretty damn cool. Also plays well with the way Dragon processes stuff here.
Though I would also add training Search. It's basically Observe from The Gamer.

EDIT: And Sense, too. If we're gonna go down the golem route and be more control-orientated, being aware of our surroundings sounds great. :tongue:

Reducing it from the freak out is big, but reducing it from the early attempts to organize are less so.

The two biggest things I can think of early on would be helping with that guide for newbies that Argo is going to start putting out, if we can use Golems to scout areas where good materials or enemies to farm are; and then stopping the first push against the floor boss from ending in a lot of deaths. We should at least be able to throw meat shields there, and maybe we could even stop that one duel from going down, since it probably made a lot of people less likely to help out there?
