Log Horizon Quest 2: The BackgroundeningQM's Twitter: https://twitter.com/TinyShepherdQstPrevious Thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/31370008/You are Anthony Grant, or rather, you were Anthony Grant. Now you are Ambrosius, the level 30 melee specced cleric with no guild and only two people on your friend list. The first member is Canis, the level 30 bard, who does prefer to be called Canis both in game and out, even though his real name is Eric. The second member is your younger brother, Zachery, although he goes by Vertigo in this game.A lot has happened since the strange event that pulled you into the game; you assume that is what has happened, anyway. You have pulled levers, made a chair cannon using only a door and a lever, created this world's first not-so-flying chair, yelled at a woman for having a name that was not a word, found out her name was actually a word, bought some Steel Silk, found Canis, found out the city portals no longer work, and found out your brother is stuck in Big Apple on the east coast.
“What do you mean he's stuck over there!?” You yell, “Who the hell shut down the portals!?”Canis shrugs, “I really don't think anyone did.” He pause, “I think they just don't work anymore.”“Well why the hell don't the work anymore!?” You were scared and confused. All the horrible things that could happen to your brother started wafting into your brain. You push the images out of your head and try to focus, “Okay. Okay. We can't panic.”“We should get horses.” Canis responds.“Yes!” You exclaim, “You get horses, I'll get a wagon and supplies. Let's reverse Oregon Trail this bitch!”You turn and take a single step when another idea floats into your head. You still have three of your “True Levers” as you call them now, for some reason. Perhaps attaching one to the portal will reactivate it?[ ] Call Zachery. He needs to know what you are doing.[ ] Don't call Zachery. If he's still raiding, calling him might get him killed.-------[ ] “It's worth a shot.” Go attach lever to portal.[ ] “No, we can't afford to waste time.” Go get the wagon and supplies.[ ] Other
>>31455492[ x] Call Zachery. He needs to know what you are doing.[ x] “It's worth a shot.” Go attach lever to portal.HAHA, TIME FOR LEVERS
There's a quest thread for log horizon now too? I just want to play the rpg...
>>31455492>[x] Don't call Zachery. If he's still raiding, calling him might get him killed.>[x] “It's worth a shot.” Go attach lever to portal.It would really only take a second anyway
>>31455492>[ ] Call Zachery. He needs to know what you are doing.>[ ] “It's worth a shot.” Go attach lever to portal.
[X] Don't call Zachery. If he's still raiding, calling him might get him killed.[X] “It's worth a shot.” Go attach lever to portal.I've been waiting for this!
An so our quest to build a better coping mechanism continues...>>31455492[x] Call Zachery. He needs to know what you are doing.[x] “It's worth a shot.” Go attach lever to portal.Do we have a character sheet and stats? Inventory? I feel that if we are going to be in the DATABASE we should develop a database to contain this information.Also can we get a SAO cameo? Mostly because I just want to push kittytoes shit in for being a massive fucking edgy faggoy in one of the worst animes I've ever seen. After all Log Horizon is pretty much a competent SAO

If he's still raiding, calling him might get him killed.>[ ] OtherRealize that running off into the wilderness on day one will probably just end in our grizzly death, and cool our jets. He's all the way on the other side of the continent and we're going to be traveling via goddamn horse, it's a long enough journey that waiting until we're better prepared might actually save us time.The two of us and a wagon vs Angry Fantasy Mojave Desert sounds like a losing battle.
Peculiar isn't it that a "man of the cloth" should be so entranced with machinery...
Ok, so it sounds like we're on the American server; specifically West Coast.I propose we find our brother and construct a massive air ship that is powered by a constant barrage of mage spells because with magic and machine spirits you don't gotta explain shit.
>>31455709Not mechanical enough. We're an engineer, you know.And we're still in the middle of dealing with things by flipping levers.And massive amounts of autism.

Wait, is our brother a girl now?
>>31455800>Not rolling a girl toonIt's like you DON'T want to scan retarded ronry faggots.
>>31455800It wasn't stated that his character was female. He could have just been an oiled chiseled dude in a banana hammock with a form fitting top with a window cut out to accentuate his nipples or whatever gets /co/ off.
>>31455800No.He's just wearing finely crafted Korean Forged Manslut Raid-tier Armor.
I have like 4+ character suggestions for this and I almost want to share; but I don't want Shep to lose his way with what he might have planned.
>log horizon quest>morbid sex shit alreadyas expected of /tg/a/ faggots!
>>31455916How is it morbid exactly?>>31455656Well we ARE well on our way to cracking at this point...
So when are we going to meet newly sentient goldbots?
>>31456075... I never knew I wanted something so bad.Goldbot party member for packing mule
>>31456102Hey hey hey, thats not nice, all they are trying to do is find meaning in their lives now that they can think, that and some new fucking names
>>31456124Since they don't have any brain behind them; wouldn't they just fall dead? Or at best me mindless automations pestering people?
>>31456163They're like Rudy, I think.
>>31456163Nope they all gained intelligence in the books. Like Rudy
>>31455798You start walking over towards the city portal True Lever in hand. At the same time you open up your friend list and click on the [Call] button next to the name Vertigo.RingRing"Hello?" His words are sluggish. That peculiar slowness you know is associated with him just waking up. "What's up?""Wait. I thought you were raiding."There is a pause.""Oh course I'm raiding!" He shouts. "Everyone to the left! Max DPS now! Go go go! I gotta go. Things are really-""So, what are you doing?""...Raiding...?"You're a bit tired of his shit, but you don't think finding out what he was doing would be very useful."Right. Well, me and Canis are going to be walking towards Big Apple. You need to meet us half way so we can get you back here.""Why would I go back with you?" He asks."Why the hell wouldn't you come back with us!?""Because my guild hall is here, along with all the good things, like this bed.""I thought you were raiding.""I'm using the ... bed... tank... technique. BTT is a super well known strat for Balimor's workshop.""Okay, well, you know what? I'm just going to go try and reactivate the city portals. You know, something useful. You go have fun with your BTT.""Okay. Good night."You are quite livid with your brother. Does he not understand the position you are all in? The giant city gate looms over you. You push through the crowd."Excuse me. Engineer coming through. Out of the way. S'cuse me!"You finally reach the grand structure and press your third True Lever into it. It attaches.[cont]
>>31456214Spoiler that shit. Some people haven't finished the show.
>>31456226At least we can rest easy that saying he was dressed like a slut was accurate.
>>31456226Looks like he's worse off than we are.
Rolled 2>>31456226Flip that bitch
>>31456353How? He's taking a nap in new york city.The question becomes: Do we want to bother going to him, or do we build this town up into Lever City/ focus on trying to make the gates work?
ERHMERHGERD
>>31456226Jesus man at least get a casual outfit for when you're not raiding. I can understand that the +10 Banana Hammock of Stat Boosts is pretty sweet, but you're gonna run into issues if you just march around like that.Unless he's into that sort of thing, in which case I'll respect his life choices even if I don't understand them.
>>31456419It sounds like he is in serious denial about what is happening, whereas our dude is taking it all in stride by completely ignoring it.
>>31456493It's less ignoring; more losing his shit and fucking with levers as a coping mechanism.I fully expect our MC to break the second he is out of levers or can't make any more.
>>31456419We should use our engineering talents to work on a transcontinental railroad.
>>31456533or a sea train.But seriously though, we're not real life engi's so we are probably fucked in the long run when it comes to actually engineering for real.
>>31456533>>31456560The only train that's going to be running is by our brothers guildies on his twink ass.
>>31456560>we're not real life engi's so we are probably fucked in the long run when it comes to actually engineering for real.We could be, all we know about our real life is that we live with our brother that's now in a slutty lady body
>>31456493Everyone's got their coping mechanism to deal with extreme stress. Some people freak the fuck out and break down immediately, some get angry and violent, some bottle it up and act like nothing is wrong (him, potentially), and some distract themselves by doing whatever task they can get their hands on to keep their mind occupied (us).Of course he might be one of the types that actually doesn't see it as a negative thing, there were a lot of people who really didn't give a fuck.
>>31455874Post away. Who knows, I may like them.>>31456226The lever attached. Perhaps you are some kind of magical chosen one who will save the people of this world. You are so excited!You pull the leve-You pull the-You pull-You puuuuuull-The lever does not budge. You literally hang from the lever, trying to pull it down."Move, you...!" You begin balancing on top of the lever. "What the hell is this bullshit?" You think out loud.The crowd around you is perplexed by what you are trying to accomplish."Pulling this lever will activate the portal!" You announce to the crowd, "So stop staring and try to help me!"Strong fighters try pulling it, summoners try dropping bears on it, and mages try all kinds of spells on the lever. Nothing appear to work. You take out another lever.UPDOWNUPDOWNPerhaps if you build some kind of platform or something on top of the lever you could put more pressure on it."What if we extend out the lever and add some kind of platform to the end." The dwarf to your right says."I was thinking the same thing." Your respond. "We need to increase force on the fulcrum somehow." You are not 100% sure what a fulcrum was, but you are quite certain you said that right.The dwarf draws out some plans on the ground. "This might snap the extension off, though."You open your mouth to say something, but then you get a call from Canis. "Don't forget potions." He says, "Also, are you hungry? Cause I'm hungry.""Uhhh..."[ ] Run to buy a cart.[ ] Run to buy potions, food, and other supplies.[ ] Continue to plan with the dwarf.

>>31456928>5. Samurai that is basically a lunatic that's always looking for a fight and jumps in without thinking things through at all because he can just respawn anyway. Also he is terrible at the game.Oh lawd. We need a Minsc. And his best friend is a shaman catperson that doesn't speak.
>>31456919Use mana potion maybe it will energize the portal.
>>31456960No, light a fire.
>>31456928>>31456952> because he can just respawn anyway. Also he is terrible at the game.It starts off funny, but get's darker and darker as he loses more of his memories.
>>31456952...I'll fully admit that #5 is how I play shooters... I feel so much shame.Also Business Sniper can evolve into Green Hawkeye with our mastery of lever technology.
>>31456985That's the joke>>31456613>>31456928Adding "Buy Mana Potion" to my command so we can pour it on the lever. Maybe it just needs a magic jumpstart.

So I learned today that Log Horizon ENDED ended. Not season, series.Wat? The last episode I saw was a few weeks ago with some weird doll guy (probably an amerifat) ruining the festival. Seems like that would have been a longer arc.
>>31457047It's starts up again in the fall dude chill, the writer just needs to crank out some more novels
>>31457047What are you on about. The books are still going aren't they?
>>31456928>Dedicated Naruto level jobber/ tragic feels storyline
>>31457047http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-22/log-horizon-2nd-tv-anime-series-to-premiere-this-fallWhaa? where u get your sources
>>31457047I dunno where you learned that from, but it's wrong. Finish the anime, after the last episode's credits there's a scene announcing season 2 later this year.Not to mention the light novel series is obviously still going.
>>31457047I think you're on crack. S2 has already been announced. Shit, they put the announcement after the credits, how could you miss that?
>>31457069>>31457074Good news. Still have a few episodes to watch.>>31457080My super shitty friends.Thanks for the clarifications /tg/; you are officially more knowledable than my weeaboo roommate.
>>31457077>>31457043>>31456988>>31456985>>31456952Make the Samurai a grill and I'm sold.
>>31457170There are no girls on the American servers.
>>31457199Wait is our character a Female character, I don't think we've ever had our character described to us.
>>31457220Pretty sure other characters have acted and referred to us as male.
>>31457220Described as a Priest, not a Priestess.
>>31457199What about the one we almost crushed with the Chairplane? There aren't any Samurai on the US servers though (it's Pirate in most of the world, Samurai is a localized class name for the Jap server), unless one got stuck here somehow.>>31457220I think that would have been mentioned, either by us or by Canis. You don't just fail to notice something important like that.
>>31457288I'm not sure our character seems pretty oblivious to anything that isn't a lever. We a lever hungry slut.
>>31456754"I think I can get the portal working again. I just need to get this lever activated." You tell Canis."Guy. I just bought horses for us." He seems to be quite angry, but then breathes in and sighs. "You're paying me back for those horses." He responds in a far less angry voice."Someone go get some food!" You yell out to the crowd. "Also, all engineers, get your asses over here! We got a lever to pull!"The crowd is all abuzz with murmurs. Several people walk up to you and the dwarf. People of all different looks and levels. They begin to draw out plans and use arcane maths which you understand very little. "What's going on?" Comes the voice of Canis behind you."We're trying to pull a lever." You reply."Is it stuck?""Yeah.""Did you try lubricating it?""Oil! Of course!"The group of engineers nod in agreement. How foolish they were for forgetting the simplest principal. If it does not move, but it is supposed to move, use WD40."Alright, you sons of bitches!" The dwarf announces to the crowd. "Who has oil!?""Ooo! Ooo! I do!" yells a low level assassin. He comes rushing up to the crowd, holding a vial of an orange, viscous liquid. "What should I do with it?""Pour it on the lever, you beautiful bastard, you!" The dwarf cries out. The crowd cheers. You wish you had been that assassin, saving the day with a well placed vial of oil. He uncorks the vial. Everyone holds their breath in anticipation.The lowest level engineer, a level 12 sorcerer, suddenly asks, "Wait. Isn't that flame oil?"The oil pours out onto the lever. "Yeah!" The assassin responds with a smile, "Why?"The lever bursts into a torrent of flames. The wooden handle turns black and a liquid begins to pour from the gaps made by the wood turned ash. It takes you a few seconds to realize, but the liquid is the internal gears turned to liquid metal, now dripping on the floor.[cont]
>>31457288Clearly that was a man with a voice changer.
>>31457302>Troll assassinOh hey WoW me. Haven't seen you in almost a decade. How ya been?
>>31457302>the liquid is the internal gears turned to liquid metal, now dripping on the floor.
>>31457302RIP True Lever-san, you were too good for this world
>>31457302Our lever has been assassinated.RIP lever.
I... it's ok right? We still have one more True Lever...
>>31457302Let's attach another lever this time upside down, maybe it's like a light switch and it has to be down for off and up for on.
>>31457369Fuck this town. We're leaving and taking our levers away from those who would do them harm.
>>31457369We need to see if any of the engineers around have any True Levers on them, if they do we should buy them all.
>>31457302God.Fucking.Dammit.RIP in peace Lever-san, you died too young, cut down in the prime of your life.
>>31457369But that might be our last True Lever EVER!Maybe we can buy a bunch from hapless people who don't yet understand their value yet.
We shall become Ambrosius, the Lever-Smith
>>31457302Everyone is stunned. No one says a word. The flames dies out over a minute and what remained of the handle falls into the pulled position. With no gears to hold up the lever, gravity took over."It worked!" The assassin announces.You look up to this assassin's name. Takeshi. You will be sure to remember this name as the person you will hate forever. The crowd explodes into horrid wailing and furious words. Just about anything that isn't tried down is pelted at this Takeshi. It takes until a group launches a cart at him for the city guards to begin spawning. The crowd resists the guards. Their hatred is that grand. It becomes a slaughter house as the guards wade through the crowd, killing people in droves.[ ] "We should get out of here."[ ] Watch.[ ] Attack Takeshi.[ ] Other
>>31457418You have two (2) True Levers remaining.Make them count.
Guys; oiling it and adding a new lever or throwing mana potions won't make it workbecause one needs to be on the exit portal and both levers need to be flipped at the same time.
>>31457544OH GOD YOUR A GENIUS!>>31457521Call our brother! He must find a true lever!
>>31457521[x] Loot merchant stalls for expedition supplies while everyone is distracted

>>31457521[Other] Leave town with Canis, begin contemplating designs for our own portal system. Design levers that open a portal when attached to a flat surface and pulled.

>>31457521>[ ] "We should get out of here.">Develop our own portal system. With blackjack! And courtesans!
No mater what guys; we need to get that Dorf's number... then set out on a quest to Big Apple 3 AM to attach a lever to that portal... then flip the switches at the same time so we can fast travel between this pissant town and the city. Then we can work on building a giant world class lever to turn the server off to reboot it.
>>31457643I feel as though if we do build a team we should have a Courtesan and have our buddy constantly remind us of how "this is TOTALLY like Firefly."and then one day after he dies we reference his stupid running joke and he doesn't know what Firefly is.
>>31457647>Then we can work on building a giant world class lever to turn the server off to reboot it.I love you
>>31457521[x] Friend the dward, get out of here and regroup with all engineers. We need to make sure any other True Levers that may exist don't also get ruined.

>>31457775Can we attach levers to the gui?
>>31457825...Let's find out
"Guys! STOP STOP STOP! Well keep hitting him, BUT SHUT UP ABOUT IT!We're in a video game right?And It has multiple players right?And it can have a lever stuck on it right?And a portal is just a door right?And it's a door that won't open in a multiplayer video game right?The solution is obvious.../dramatic gesture/Someone needs to attach a lever at the other end... and we both need to flip them at the same time."
What if we call our deadbeat slutbro up and tell him to find an engineer with another True lever and have him attach it to the portal and have us attach one of our last true levers then try the double pull?Would be easier, cheaper, and shorter than us taking a long trip filled with adventure and friends only to find out it doesn't work.
>>31457924Would you really want to risk it? What if the other dude's levers aren't true?
>>31457960Buy/borrow/steal True Levers from fellow engineers. Then, we won't waste our own.Of course, chances are we need to flip levers on every single gate across the country at the same time.
>>31457960Just tell them to make sure it is a lever made before the DATABASE and that it's from the best engineer they can find.

>>31458154Nah, if it doesn't work we can just use the flame oil again. Perhaps.
Ok so these lever shenanigans are Jojo or Bleach level.Complete control over anything binary.
I wonder if OP knew this would happen, or if /tg/ is blindsiding him.
>>31458224Hope someone figures that bit out fast.>>31458257In extremely finite supply, since we don't know if it's even possible to create more True Levers. They may just be a relic of the old game-world, never to be replicated.
>>31458257We developed a Stand Flip the Switch
>>31458262Knew what would happen? Also being blindsided on /tg/? It's to be expected. We do weird shit. No, being truly blindsided would be /tg/ not doing diplomancy every 12 posts.
>>31458285>Minutes before the Catastrophe, a level 90 Engineer offloaded a stack of several thousand levers in a hardmode endgame raid instance because he needed room for loot and forgot to bank them beforehand.>Are you a bad enough dude to retrieve the legendary lever stash of xXxL33tsnIpEr117xXx and obtain ultimate yes/no power over the world?
>>31457775You drag the dwarf's name, MercuryHat, onto your friend list. "I have a theory."Mercury stopped calling Takeshi a whore-bitch-cunt-faced-mother-fucker for a second to turn to you. "What's the plan?" He asks."First, do you have any levers from before all of..." You motion to everything, "This happened?""Nah." He responds, "Levers stop giving xp after level 35. If you need pulleys or cart axles, I can help."You turn to the other engineers, "Do any of you have levers made before... We really need a word for whatever happened.""The databasing!" Takeshi suggests. For a second you wonder how he survived taking a cart to the face, but you turn back to the engineers. "Does anyone have a lever from before the ... databasing..." You hated the term, but it was all you had. Each of the engineers give you a negative response. "God damn it!" You shout. "Okay. Whatever, I still have two, I can just plop one on."You open up your friend list again and call your brother."Hello?" He says in his sleepy manner."Get off your ass, put some real clothes on, and go find someone who has a lever what was made before the databasing!""What's databasing?" He asks."Whatever the hell happened to get us all stuck here! Now go out and find one!" You hang up.You turn back to the engineers. "Okay, here's the thing. Portals are like doors, right? Well, a door can't open into nothing! There has to be something to enter into, so at least two portals have to be online, right? Right. So when my brother finds a lever, attaches it to the portal, I'll attach another lever here, we'll pull both at the same time, and everyone will be happy!"Your mind is racing a mile a minute. This will work right? Right. Right? Right. Right. It's gotta.Ri-You pick up the phone immediately. "Did you find one!?"[cont]
>>31458351>Before Catastrophe, the totally forgettable Elf Druid Engineer xXxL33tsnIpEr117xXx revealed that he had dropped like over 80000 True Levers in the endgame raid Tomb of the Lich Lord Argus. Now, many Engineers are off looking for this legendary treasure to claim the title Lever King. One engi, Anthony Grant, is a slightly autistic teen who had uncovered the true power of the binary mastery of levers.

>>31458736Well there's not much to talk about right now since we're just getting things started and the game hasn't really begun yet.Also no party members to ship or whatever or things to argue about.The only thing going on is the lever situation which we're in the middle of and have already discussed to death.

>>31458403He yawns. "Yeah. Guildie of mine had, one in a chest somewhere." He pauses. "Sorry. I mean an Armoire." He says armoire in a very over the top manner, no doubt making fun of whoever corrected him."Good! Get that thing to the town portal!" You command.Now that you have some time to think, you wonder if you might need to activate every portal at the same time or just two. You certainly hope the latter."Alright I'm here." Your brother says, "So what do I do?""Touch it to the portal!""Yeah... that's not doing anything. It just falls right off.""Does the back of it have a gear sticking out, or is it flat?""It's flat.""And it's not working?""No."You scrunch up your face in thought. You have a theory. "Get your engineer friend to attach it.""Oh. Okay. That worked. Weird...""Alright. What's his name? We need to pull them at the same time.""Flugelhorn."You add this Flugelhorn character to your friend list and hang up on your brother.You call."Hello?" Speaks the voice of what sounds to be an old man, "No, I don't want any prune juice.""Uhhh...""No, I'm just kiddin' whit'cha. You're the brother, right?""Yeah. We need to pull these levers at the same time. You ready?""I'm as ready as a bird in the early mornin'.""I have no idea that that means, but I'm going to assume you're ready."You place your fourth lever onto the gateway. You only have one left now."On the count of three.""On three or do we get to three three and then say pull, an' then pull?""On pull.""One." You begin. "Two." You focus entirely on the lever. "Three." There is nothing else in the world. It is you, the lever, and the countdown. "Pull!" You pull down as had as you can. You feel the lever begin to descend. You have done it! And then it stops suddenly."Ah!" The old man says, "Did you stop pulling?""No...." You reply. "Did you?""Nope. Still pullin' it with all I can."You pull as hard as you can as well, but it does not budge further.
>>31458999Yep, looks like we need to get every portal to be lever'd at once. Should be easy enough, right?

>>31458999Looks like the "we've got to reactivate the entire network" theory might be the correct one.That might be a bit of a pain.
>>31458999We need some level 90 engineers on this shit.

>>31458999>>31459039We Have failled so now we must commit sepuko>[X] Commit sepuko
>>31459093Getting the levers all over the world would be quite an ordeal. Level 90 engineers going through random fairy ring spreaching the gospel of the portal lever?
>>31459093Not really.Theoretically, with as many people as there are in both South Angel and Big Apple (or whatever they're called), the chances of someone knowing someone who knows someone in every portal-containing city is pretty high. Now, whether or not every portal will have an engineer with True Levers is up in the air
>>31459093We have access to the Big Apple... no doubt with that network we can get in touch with at least one engi in every town. There's bound to be at least ONE True Lever in each of those towns as it's unlikely engi would be an unpopular thing.Then we all party up and sync The Great Pull.>>31459039It's not really winning since all it'll do is reactivate fast travel for the US. It WILL however jumpstart DATABAsociety.
>>31459039Magic? No.Who is to say the power of the True Lever does not one day unleash a world class spell?Simply, as of right now, your level 31 engineering skill will not suffice.>>31458999You fall back on the ground. "Every portal has to be done at the same time!" You yell out in frustration. You take a deep breath and calm down. "It's probably not that big of a deal. We just need everyone to get in touch with friends. Certainly some amount of people here know an engineers in each town on the server."That is when the level 12 sorcerer, a tiny woman named Lilac of <Sweet Cake>, points something out to you. "This server and the South American servers.""What?""The North American portals and South American portals are connected, despite being on different servers."Your rage boils over. You grab her and start shaking. "WHO THE HELL WOULD LET SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN!?""Florid, Texas, and Loisiana were angry they they weren't apart of the North American server, so they demanded the ability to travel freely between the two servers.""But you can't communicate between servers...""Correct."

>>31459879We grind our engineering before that. HARD.>>31459822Get wagon firstSince we will need to fill it with suppliesAttempt to find someone who is DPS or a tank to go with us to... wherever. Since we can semi tank/ heal/ DPS; but our friend is a bard and we have no good way to deal damage or tank outside of us.Preferably someone with a lot of PvP experience.
>>31459924Should be hey now, but eh.
>>31459935It's obvious she's party member bait. Just like the Dorf and fake name girl.
>>31459822We need to at least leave the dorf here, we need someone to stay that we know can flip the leverWe should start recruiting a party while Canis starts getting stuff
>>31459947We have a Cleric, a Bard, a Sorc if we take Lilac, we need a tank and hopefully a melee DPS
>>31460015Agreed, we are going to get our asses kicked if we don't have a full party, or at least someone who can damage things.
>>31460015Cleric is a great tank, what are you talking about?We just need to rig up some chair armor and we'll be golden.
>>31459969Hey at least she sounds cute. I bet this is her third character or something because she seems to know the game, and probably wears glasses she can push up.
"I have to be stronger... I have to find a way to restore the original fast travel system... so I set off to attach a True Lever to each of them and burned each town from which I set off from so I could never turn back."
>>31460073>chair armorYou currently have plate armor and a buckler, as is standard of most clerics, melee or ranged.The only class you would have less armor than on average is a Guardian, but clerics lack any form of taunting power and have only average health progression, making them not very good tanks.
>>31460111Or she's just a lorefag.>>31460152Ok so we need to find DPS or heals since we can melee DPS or Heals and multitasking is bad in MMOs.
>>31460152>no taunting powerJust let us fight some swamp people and say that again.
>>31460152We should get a Guardian, Guardians are all bros
>>31460174>DPS or HealsEvery healer class as a melee spec that does something specific.Clerics, for example, give buffs to all of their allies, or heals to the person with the lowest HP when they use specific melee abilities.At least, that is what the wiki told me.

I'm kind of hoping for that one guys retarded samurai character gets picked up. Because tragedy is comedy.>>31460204Ok so it sounds like we're most useful as a melee DPS and need another melee DPS (or tank) to make best use of things.That means we need a ranged DPS, a Tank/ melee DPS, and a Healer or another DPS is we get a good tank or can find another Cleric specced like us since we can chain heal with our abilities. In theory. Cleric may be super OP with that skill.But hey; lets put up a call to action/ LFP and see who pops out of the woodwork.
>>31460286Nah Clerics are great at healing while hitting shithttp://lh.oksub.me/wiki/ClericWe can do both
>>31460274Oh, let's recruit that assassin under a guise, so that we can track him and then when he thinks we're friends we can lock him in a room forever with only fake levers.
>>31460326That's why I was saying we should find another guy who's specced like us to chain heals.Fights will probably take a long time; but we should be near invincible with our bard backing us... on smaller stuff.
>>31460204From the latest translated novel>Auto Heal would activate when allies took damage, recovering their HP. The healing power could recover about 5 to 10 attacks. It was a great spell that automatically healed allies when they were hurt. For beginners to major raids like Akatsuki and Maryele, the psychological assurance of magic cast before battle was a huge advantage.>But this magic had a weak point. It activated after damage was dealt, meaning it couldn't stop fatal attacks, or powerful attacks that cut off an arm. Maryele's skill level in Auto Heal was lower than a cleric from D.D.D, so it was still far from total HP recovery even when it was used.
>>31460436Still pretty good.Any hopes for what people want to party up with us? I've got a feeling we'll Doraleous and Associates it.

Meet at the exit to the city!"With that you go back towards the merchant district. All the merchants stare at you as you walk down the road between them. They are silent and simply stare. You conclude this must be a bug of some kind.You find the alchemist and clear your throat. He seems to wince at your presence, but it must just be your imagination. "PURCHASE HEALTH POTION TIMES TWENTY, PURCHASE MANA POTION TIMES TWENTY."You think for a moment. Is that all you need? You still need to get food, but as far as potions were concerned twenty of each should be enough."CONFIRM PURCHASE!"The merchant busies himself, placing all forty potions onto the surface of his stall. You pick one up to look at, instinctively."O-o-one hundred gold, please."You are currently holding the potion. Did you just discover another glitch!? You look around.

>>31460887You never know who is watching you. It's best to play the good boy for now. You fling the 100 gold at the merchant and take up all the potions. With the potions securely placed in your inventory you rush off to the stables to buy a cart. The stables were right next to entrance so you got a quick glance at the party that had assembled. Canis, Lilac, Some pirate you did not know, some duelist you did not know. It was not a full party yet, but it was a party nonetheless.You entered the stables. The man behind the counter dives for the floor, crying out, "Please don't hurt me!" You wonder if there is some kind of event going on. You didn't have time for any kind of event right now."BUY LARGE CART TIMES ONE!"The man is completely unresponsive, simply crying and laying on the floor.This is one really strange event. You don't even know what you are supposed to do here. That is when a man comes down from some stairs nearby. He extends his arms dramatically and says, "Welcome to my shop. I took it with my actions, and now it is mine." You thought a while and concluded that this must be some kind of RP Quest. Probably a new thing. You were obviously the hero, and he was the villain.

It was practically choreographed with how well that went. That has to be worth bonus XP."Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The merchant yells, coming over and hugging you. "Here here!" He yells out, "You wanted a cart right? Well, this is my best cart. Take it. It's yours!"He leads you over to a large blue cart. It looked pretty expensive, which you like. This has to be where all that bonus choreography went. Now you wish you had taken the time to make a speech first. You can only imagine what that would have gotten you.You call over Canis, who brings the two horses with him. With horse and cart combined, it was time to leave.You drove the cart out to the exit of the city and looked at those that had assembled.You had already met Lilac, the sorcerer, but you couldn't help wonder why such a low level character would party with you."So, why are you going to Big Apple?" You ask."I have my reasons." She responds."And they are...?""Mine to withhold."You looked to Canis, who simply shrugged.Lilac got on board the cart, without even being told she was allowed to. The next one comes up. A pirate named Trove. He was in no guild, just like you."Yarr! I'm ready to sail the seas of adventure in hopes to find booty!" Trove announces to you.You give him a 'Are you fucking serious' face.Trove blushes in embarrassment and says, "I-I mean... I just really don't like being in a desert."You sigh. It's not like you can find another tank anywhere. "Get on." You say.You look at the next person. A duelist named Judicature. Beneath her name was <Morning Star>.You motion to her, "Any reason you are heading to Big Apple?""You looked like you needed help." She responds, "As a member of Morning Star it is my duty to help those in need."[cont]

That appeared to be everyone.You began to drive the cart forward when you heard a sudden crash from behind you. You turn around to see Takeshi standing in the cart. You blink twice. "No." You state."I've come to help!" Takeshi announces."No.""I will use my samurai sword to strike down evil wherever it is!""No."Lilac butts into the conversation, "We lack a full party.""Listen to the wise girl, for she know the power of the Samurai!""Samurai are a Japanese only class." Lilac responds, "You are an assassin.""Samurai-ism is not about being a specific class! It's about believing in honor and justice!"You look to Canis. He shrugs and gives you an awkward smile, "I guess more DPS isn't a bad thing."You begin to think. Perhaps you died while playing the game and this is hell. You turn to Takeshi. "If you promise not to do anything. ANYTHING! Unless someone tell you to, you can come along.""I promise!" He yells, sitting down in the back of the cart.You can only imagine what you have wrought with this decision.You and your strange band of levels 12-35 ride off down the road, entering the desert before you.End session.------------------------------Thank you everyone for participating!I'll stick around to answer any questions this time.

>>31462471Are you going to be implementing any sort of stat/ inventory/ mechanic/ combat system?Next run time when?is team kill on?Just HOW database?
>>31462639 A couple actually do things, but to keep people from metagaming, the vast majority of them do absolutely nothing.
>>31462471>"I will use my samurai sword to strike down evil wherever it is!"Then you have only to turn the blade on yourself token comedy relief/ tragic martyr/ villain in disguise
>>31462648With how big America is I can see some smaller towns having cathedrals if not any gate portals, in fact I think it's been said that there is a group f Adventurers that protect a Lander town with a cathedral in canon
>>31462679>Are you going to be implementing any sort of stat/ inventory/ mechanic/ combat system?I meant to have stats for the this thread, including all of the joke [+1 hats] type stats, but I completely forgot.>Next run time when?Wednesday 8:30 EST.>is team kill on?Of course.>Just HOW database?Highly database.
>>31462688Neat
>>31462737If we old west/ dustbowl it maybe we can errect some mock cathedrals... provided party members have mysticism, architecture, and magic. Which; funny enough: Engineer cleric and we also have a caster.BOOM.

>>31462878Yes.
>>31462878If the cliffracers were 6 foot long mosquitos that could oneshot you and traveled in swarms, yes.

Rewind. The man taking over the stall.American players have figured the system out. I am scared as to what they can do now.
I hope someone in our party is a chef or well be eating nasty shit our whole journey
>Finally get to Big Apple>Our bro sees us and Canis and runs up to say hi>We don't know who he is due to all the respawn brain damage inflicted by the Dickbutt and Cazador infested wasteland.Oh... and is anyone in our party a Cook?This is going to FUCKING SUCK if nobody is.
>>31462985You should ALWAYS be scared of what ambitious Americans can do.I see we have our token pocketsized naruto, lawful good, and brainiac
Morning Star - Our very own paladin!>>31463016Real man eat raw bear meat. It has taste.And Gi parasites.
>>31462516I think it was the volcano god of Yellowstone, complete with Native american lander cult, but I might be wrong.
>>31463048I like the low level lore-girl./tg/ will have fun trying out different strategies with low level spells and failing.
>>31463069Every night you hear the Quatzquatel flying overhead.
>>31463051I was expecting the conversation with Morning Star to go like >Wait, as in Lucifer?>The ultimate betrayer?>Yeah...we're fine on DPS, thanks.

There's a lot of room to grow and although there are no catsluts, it's a decent party in theory.>>31463115Meanwhile the Feathered Serpant daily spawn is running amok and nuking 80% of the mexican player bases memories.
>>31463035>>31463016As I recall, normal Landers actually cook their food due to lacking GUI access so we could buy it from them and treat player-food as emergency rations.We're going to be slaughtering our way across the entire continent, so we'll probably have plenty of money if nothing else.
Guys what if we put a lever on the Yellowstone Caldera?
>>31463196Engineering over skill - place a lever on the enemy's HP bar.
>>31463051>>31463115morning stars are also weapons though...Although if she does betray us (heh pallies) we staple a lever to her and flip it off. instant death because this game makes sense and also makes no sense.
>>31463186>We're going to be slaughtering our way>A party with lucifer and Takeshi the ender of leversThat seems optimistic
>>31463163>Meanwhile the Feathered Serpant daily spawn is running amok and nuking 80% of the mexican player bases memories.At least they'll be so brain-addled they'll have no choice but to embrace the RP, which means that they'll fight to the death to repel the inevitable BR invaders.
>>31463186>As I recall, normal Landers actually cook their food due to lacking GUI accessNo they make it the same way, they also have the status screen, it's just less detailed than Adventurers
Levers only work on binary options.Yes - NoOn - OffShep; any tips, tricks, spoilers, last words?Also someone archive since I can't for another hour.
>>31463232Mexicans?You are lucky if the gangs did not rape everyone by the second week.
>>31463232>Zombie legions of mexico are the only thing between civilization and BRI'm not sure how I feel about this
>>31463254It's already been archived
>>31463261Well it's either zombies or the cartel.
>>31463261At least the Chinese gold miners are on the other side of the ocean. We can have some breathing space before Koreans research drop ships and science vessels.Russians probably took over Crimia and Ukraine already.Canadians are still wrestling bears and researching the timbit formula. And the Canadian engineers are busy making bags for milk.
>>31463233Ah damn, now that I think about it you're right.Ok, new worst-case scenario if we lack a chef: we convince someone to respec to Chef and survive on the shitty super low level food while they slowly grind it up. It'll be better than goddamn cardboard.
>>31463294What if Takashi the destroyer of levers is our chef?We can't drop him, but we hate keeping him.
>>31463326He's the emergency rations.
>>31463292>>We can have some breathing space before Koreans research drop ships and science vesselsTake too long with the inane shit and it will be CARRIER HAS ARRIVED.
>>31463254>any tipsUnderstand anyone can lie to you.>tricksLever + Lever = Double Lever.>spoilersCoyote>last words?Lever Symbology.
>>31463373Does best Korea have its own server? Cause if so, the endless war over there would be pretty hilarious.
>>31463254Human Gender is mostly binary(unless you leave the lever in the middle)
>>31463406Only in the database can North and South Korea be together. But they may be too busy murdering nips. The Chinese probably are up to the same thing.Indians would be after Pakistanis.Iran? Who knows.
>>31463426>Iran? Who knows.Trying to conquer everyone and rebuild Persia
I wonder what the one guy in the Africa server is doing
>>31463457Being eaten by the monsters over and over, I would assume.
>>31463479>>31463457One man genocide of each tribe. And canibalism. And aparatheid.And worshipping monolith.
>>31463479That is Australia.Crike, how do they survive there?
Can't wait until we develop our signature Overskill. Yeah right, we'll go brain-rotted from all the death before reaching max level.Shiroe has contract bullshit, Soujiro can block any attack, Kanami has infinite stunlock combos, and Nureha can do that thing with her boobs.But we, we'll have the greatest skill of all: TRUE LEVER CREATION! All will fall before our ability to reverse binary states!>>31463426Amusingly, the only real-life conflict that was confirmed by Mamare to have resurfaced on a national scale after the Apocalypse was the India vs Pakistan deathmatch.
>>31463373>Takashi dis so many times all his awful human emotions are replaced with in game assassin type backstory>Becomes Winter Soldier level assassin at our beck and call.
>>31463550You must tell us the story sometimes. About Paki and Indians.
>>31463550As stated earlier; if we master the binary capabilities of levers we'll be JoJo or Bleach Filler Villain tier powerful.Like one guy said; we might even be able to restart the server.
>>31463621/tg/ never cease to amuse me. Give them an idea, and then they will create something great out of it.You don't need any other boards.
>>31463550Infinite Lever Works
>>31463401And so the shadowrunning will start soon...Morningstar and Naruto are too obvious therefore they're out.That leaves bookworm girl, but she's mysterious therefor implicating her so she's out too.Next is out buddy... but he's our friend and that would be expected guy.That leaves the pirate. a non-entity at this moment. So obvious so redshirt it has to be him... so it's not.When no one can be a rogue we have to look at ourselves. We'll betray us. But that's too meta and loops back around to expected once the other factors are taken into account. Perhaps the true lier here is Shepherd... but then there would be no liars in our party and that's also expected. A ruse to keep us on our toes... truely this is the shadowest of runs...
>>31463621>we might even be able to restart the server.That actually might be a really bad thing.Like, "you're actually the destroyer of worlds foretold in the ancient prophecy" level bad, because the Eldar Tale world is now for all intents and purposes the "real world", or at least equally as real as the one we originally came from. So flipping that switch to "off" might just be us blowing up the universe and killing millions.
>>31463734Shush.Remember that anon asking if we can be Marche?
>>31463550>Max level engineer>Get other party members to distract raid boss>Sneak up behind it and attach a level to its back>Switch it off
>>31463734Come on /tg/ let's be the bad guy for once.
Server restart/ double gate switch guy here.Here's another thought to sleep on. We are in a computer game. Computer games are built out of various coding languages to talk to the computer to render them. At its core this code is binary. A string of 1's and 0's. Yes and no. On and off.Therefore say if we fill the entire wasteland with levers and leave them in various states; there's a real possibility we can change various effects on the continent itself; let alone the entire world.Unfortunately this would be limited to small things mostly as the algorithms to render 3D graphics, let along things of this caliber are extremely long.
>>31463801just wait for one of my quests to startyou might not even realize you're the villain until it's too late.
>>31463820A can imagine it now. A massive undertaking of many players installing switches on the desert floor. As many will defend it from the deathclaws.All to change the fabric of reality itself.If this is not Humanity Fuck Yeah nothing is.
>>31463820But that's the thing, we're NOT in a computer game. The world's natural laws are different from the ones we're familiar with, but by all indications that's due to magic rather than being controlled by a program.Get the "it's still a game" idea out of your head.
>>31463864>due to long overly complex algorithms dozens of player macros have to be generated to quickly adjust and readjust levers until the right combinations can be recorded and taken down manually in the Grilmor of Machines.>Once we find enough things... we simply become a god. All by using the most simplistic throw away level grinding item available to an engineer...
>>31463820All the world breaking things in Log Horizon are not so much an act of breaking a game engine, so much as it is taking advantage of things inherent to the world of Elder Tales and following them along a logical progression.It's essentially how overskills work. We're not in a computer game anymore.
>>31463876At its core this reality is still comprised of computer science as its backbone, therefore I'll continue to postulate that manipulating it as such is feasible provided we have the knowledge, tools, materials, and resources required to do so.
>>31463696We'll call it Flip the Switch.The UBW reference is overplayed, and the ability sounds more like a villan power from Jojo than anything else.
>>31463954But... it isn't. It really, really isn't. You're making the exact same mistake most characters in Log Horizon made for the longest time until they realize they were being complete idiots about it. It's not a computer program, nor does it function like one. Computer programing won't help us in the slightest.
>>31463997I'll be honest; I'm not completely familiar with the series, however that does seem like a logical, if nonsensical, conclusion to this predicament.That said; we will simply need to find a different way to manipulate this world and bend it to our will.Unfortunately that will most likely require additional engineers and actual engineering knowhow, meaning we can't brute force it with simplicity as hoped. This is troubling and I'll need to think on this development, but I swear to you this world WILL kneel to us by the time this is over. It is... inevitable.
>>31463711>implying lies == betrayal.
>>31464161Our brother isn't really our brotherHe's our sister
>>31464161Well that's good. On the other hand it is likely that Takeshi is very self aware and is just actively trolling us.And/or Morning Star isn't duty bound to help us at all.
>>31464089We could still build a computer out of levers.
>>31464201>[transfats intensify]
>>31464089Just trust me, Ronald Reagan explains all this in the series.Shit's magic, powered by magic, and it works because of magic. The fact that it resembles the game mechanics is mostly incidental. True Levers are, apparently, also magic. We'll be able to do some crazy shit I'm sure, but unlike a computer we will run into situations of "it just works" and "it just don't work" when trying to manipulate the world, because that's how magic works.
>>31464263Ah yess, good old magic.
>>31464245>Build a computer out of levers>use it to build more complex computer and so on>Eventually use it to build manufacturing devices that can make an actual computer>begin rapid paced industrial revolution>Space travel>Build moon death rayMagic, science, and levers mother fuckers.All it takes is a switch.
>>31464245We need a necromancer or a summoner on board to help us.
>>31464354There are more implications of reaching the moon in Elder Tales than you realize, anon.
>>31464393And America got to the moon first again because of levers!
>>31464393Is god there? does god live on the moon like in Full Metal Alchemist?Are there rabbit folk up there like on Kamigawa?Is it delicious cheese?seriously though don't spoil it for me.

"When the only answers are yes and no... that's when I have perfect leverage." -Ambrosius
>>31464478>"Might I add... ALL the answers are ALWAYS yes and no."
>>31464354The level cap actually stops technological advancement after a certain point.When asked the question "why don't they just invent guns?", the reply boiled down to "they could, but the minimum level requirements on something so powerful would ensure nobody could ever use them". All advanced tech is basically going to be rough imitations constructed by cobbling together simple parts and naturally occurring magical shit. Like the steam engine powered by a fire lizard thing.Basically we'll top out at magitech-steampunk levels for all practical purposes.
>>31464478That is a perfect villain taunt.
>>31464552but perhaps if we could somehow turn this level cap off...
>>31464582Apply levers directly to the level cap>>31464478"When the world was enshrouded in darkness, I flipped the switch"
>>31464478Oh god, we HAVE to take this the JoJo route somehow.>>31464582That would be extremely tricky and would most likely require us to partner up with a filthy mage and use their primitive hand waving bullshit magic rather than pure logical holy machinery.
>>31464582>Shiros merchant guild notices some things that weren't possible are doable now.>Two weeks later we roll up with a fleet of magical hovering battleships>"Sup; we're here to negotiate for access to that sweet samurai class."
>>31464552If I recall correctly they used the fire lizards instead of coal because that way they didn't have to lug fuel with them. It had nothing to do with level issues.
>>31464702We must find a player with the name Perry.
>>31464552It was actually...>>Mamare-san, can people create modern technology like guns or television if they have a high enough skill and real-life knowledge?There's a possibility, but there's a difference between making things and actually using them.Even if you make a very powerful weapon, you might need to be level 200 to be actually able to use it.It is specifically a no to modern guns and weapons. Things like flintlocks might be possible. I mean, one of the main classes is the pirate, and what is a pirate without a flintlock pistol?
>>31464702>Break level cap>Go full high sci-fi in a world of high-fantasyWHAT COULD GO WRONG?!
>>31464740So if we're smart enough we MIGHT be able to make a very very simple computer... but we'd never be able to use it.Bothersome.On the other hand turn of the century gatling guns should be possible if flintlocks are since they're not too far off in function really.
>>31464791The hand crank ones you see in westerns and The Last Samurai?Too advanced I think.
Well it's 2AM and I have work. Night guys. See you in the database in a few days.
>>31464749Simple.Physical laws on that world start causing your shit to backfire.
>>31464834Magic fucks with everything it doesn't like. Which is moth things.
>>31464714Maybe a bad example, but the point remains that there is a canonical upper threshold to practical technology until someone finds out how to break or increase the level cap.Which... might be possible? It'd probably take several genius max-level players (a couple of Shiroes, basically. I don't think our character is a Shiroe) to even figure out how to go about it, and if it is possible there is no guarantee anyone could actually pull it off.But fuck technology, our hypothetical Flip The Switch is strong because of the It Just Works quality of the True Lever, which can't be replicated except by people who know the secret of creating True Levers, and we will NEVER share that secret once we learn it.
>>31464791>>31464749>>31464702Dear QM,Please nip this metagaming in the bud.
Overskills are a mix between your class skills and your subclass skills. Everyone is stating the engineer lever, but what about the cleric portion? Will we be able to summon holy levers?
>>31464896Blessed levers.Levers are more effective as God guide your hands.
>>31464864You make some good points but I'm curious. I haven't read Volume 7 yet, but has anyone actually reached lvl 100? I don't think anyone has quite yet... It is still very possible there is no level cap. The biggest issue is going to be finding mobs of a high enough level to give experience.
what are the odds Morning Star is an in game NPC faction?>>31464865It's not really meta gaming; it's people seeing how far they can push this ability/ concept. This happens every quest every day in /tg/ and when you give them so simple, yet open ended... thins get crazy.
>>31464865The MC isn't a real engineer and he only has one True Lever remaining.The possibility for something like this happening is very, very slim, but theory crafting what COULD be possible is fun some times.
>>31464896creation of an actual god of machinesOr we go weird obscure X-Men route and gain the ability to talk to machines or be powered by their prayers to us.
>>31464966Perhaps when we are leveled enough we can fabricate Impostor Levers which aren't as good, but still good.In any case, it looks like our lever based dreams are dead unless we find>>31458488
>>31464966We need to save that one true level, for when our overskill kicks in and we become the omnissiah.
