That'd probably get him a military command, but it's not exactly qualifications for a government positionBradley McCloud said:

Kibaou's not dumb, per se. The way he runs things reminds me more of a criminal syndicate: you support me, I'll make sure you get the best perks.Spectrum said:
This should prove interesting to see what Mortimer and the old General can up with to get them out of this fubar situation they are now in. I take it one of the options will be the whole try to make the letter look fake before realizing that it might not work given timing and other issues as described in an earlier post.Triggerhappy said:
No, he's hella dumb. His complaints about beta testers running off made no fucking sense. The ideal situation for non-beta players was for beta players to get as strong as possible and clear the game as quickly as possible. You have to say he doesn't care about other people and only himself (getting free shit/securing his position) that his words begin to vaguely make sense...but he's then not only dumb but an asshole on top of that.Mahrac said:
The second is actually the case. In the Light Novels, he's actually working together with Diabel to try to buy Krito's Anneal Blade before the first Dungeon Boss.Spectrum said:
For Languages sake there are two types of defenses we are talking about here.jwolfe said:
Eh I thought the ideal situation would be for the beta players to organize and help the non-beta's get orgnized and compile all the knowledge that would keep everyone alive.Spectrum said:
Actually Kibou has a terrifying point.Spectrum said:
You do realize a good chunk of those deaths was from suicides.Zeful said:
Yeah suicides. A good amount of people did die to bosses. But most of the deaths with the first two months were by people jumping off the edge to their death.Bradley McCloud said:
Every indication I've seen was that Diabel was using Kibaou as a patsy in order to buy Kirito's Anneal Blade. Saying they were 'working together' gives him entirely far too much credit.Mahrac said:
Yes, that's what I said, this is a dumb thing that is dumb as it is detrimental to their real goal. You should not be performing actions with short term/transitory benefit at the cost of your real ultimate long term goal.koolerkid said:
1) From the numbers I've seen, no, many of those deaths were from suicides. If anything, the majority of the combat deaths were in fact the beta players due to a variety of reasons (things changing from beta surprising them, just flat out not being good enough to play in their style, and so on).Zeful said:
About that, are they going to contact the people in Albion to share it or for refining it? They'll need to know what is going to happen. And Asuna may have her opinions on certain things and also know who can fight and what can they do, at least on the faerie side.Triggerhappy said:
Guilds couldn't be made until several floors later. At best, they would be able to guide 5 other players.Zeful said:
Eh, if you look in to it a bit deeper, then canonically atleast, that works out less well then you think. The group that had the highest death rate for instance was the beta testers. The second group of highest death rate, was the people with experience in other MMOs.Zeful said:
Even that depends on the player in question.Quickshot0 said:
Call it alternate character interpretation then.Spectrum said:
Er, what? What exactly is smart about being told "hey, this guy's shady, you should buy his weapon so he's weaker during the boss fight" and going to do that?Mahrac said:
Nice to see a chance for Mortimer to establish his credentials with the locals. You mentioned back somewhere that this would be a chance for him to really ham it up. The question now is if he is genre savvy enough to save the villainous?/maniacal?/heroic?/Lelouch-worthy laughter for after the success reports come in?Triggerhappy said:
No, I mean I'm saying Kibaou is smart (possesses brains) and you're saying he's not wise (bad at applying common sense to said brains)Spectrum said:Er, what?
