Ya ever hear the "Many World's theory?" It's all about parallel worlds and shit...

>Tell her about your knowledge
We'd might as well. Knowing how fucking crazy she is, if we ever let on that we know more than we seem she'll probably fly off the handle again lol

>>575779
Wanted to get the option out there before typing the whole thing.
"Basically the thought is that for every concept there is some world or dimension out there where it was reality. Welcome to the SAO anime world version 3. Version 2 is the abridged fan dub/edit that this one is based off of. This is the one where some random jackass, moi, appears and has seen both the anime and the abridgement.

I dunno, being stupid and trying to contribute

>>575818
basically we called him a double asshole.

I kinda want to make it a thing than when we bump inot him we say lines that others say to him later. It'll either freak him the fuck out or he'll think we are Kayaba

>>575843
We should talk about going fast whenever we see him.

>>575760
"Not a psych major, just observant. Tall Dark and Girly there was easy to read. I could practically smell his masculinity issues from a mile off."

"You uh... sure you weren't actually smelling it, wolf man?" she giggles, apparently relieved you're okay... and not giving a single FUCK about the fact you just traumatized a dude you barely knew (from her perspective anyways)

"Okay you have seriously got to stop calling me that"

"Anyways, I was gonna go train up my cooking skills, got any requests?

>Give her the boar asses

>>575875

I feel like this won't end well, but they're low level ingredients anyway, so we're not missing out on much.

>>575875
>Give her the boar asses

>>575875
>Give her the boar asses
Give them to her and then say "See what you can do with all dat ass."

>>575882
I recommend getting some sweet/citrusy fruit and sugar, pulp it all up in some liquid, make a nice chutney. Make some light cuts in the meat and roast it long and slow.

Or just do pork for sammiches, however you please.

HOLY SHIT, can we get some anime meat? like a big honk of meat on a comically drawn bone?

>>575875
>Give her the boar asses

>>575917
>legendary manga meat
Yes.
Oh yes.

>>575917
we probably have to hunt some massive beast for that kind of meat,
worth it.

>>575875
"Here, I got a boatload of asses you can tenderize" you grin, pulling out all 11 Boar Flanks -thick and juicy as they were, they were practically begging to be cooked- and putting them in her lap.

"Yours included, fuccboi?"

WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM!?

I DON'T KNOW IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD LINE!

YOU DO NOT TRY TO PICK UP THE GUY YOU'RE TRAVELLING WITH BY MAKING A JOKE ABOUT FUCKING HIM IN THE ASS!

Hey, he might like it that way!

DO WE KNOW THAT?!

No...

THAN WHAT YOU SAID WAS STUPID!

Her face turns beet red "S-sorry that just slipped out I swear I didn't mean anything by it!"

Does she want to bang us?

I can't tell, and I'm not really interested in taking it in the ass like she just implied

Anal has it's merits, you know

First bang it doesn't, we're not gay, no matter how much futa we looked at back home

"Just... just train the fucking cooking skill" you sigh, resting your head on your palm "I'm just gonna..." you draw off, thinking

>Go train blacksmithing
>Go questing

>>575975
Blacksmith. And get new gauntlets

>>575975
>go questing
back on the powergame train, we have to be good enough to be a challenge to our rival

>>575975
>Go train blacksmithing

>>575975
>>Go train blacksmithing
Maybe some brass knuckles or something similar? Otherwise, armor. Leather armor

>>575975
Power game. Get quests as a backlog. Kill rare monsters as a priority. Never stop moving.

>>575975
>Go train blacksmithing
We need some good, heavy metal punchin' gloves.

>>575975
>>Go train blacksmithing

>>575975
"...head to the blacksmith, oh hey, you said you trained it a bit, did it give you any normal EXP?"

"Yeah, a little, not much but then again I burned a lot of things so maybe that had something to do with it"

Right, well then, three for fucking one! Spend some money to make some gauntlets, level up your blacksmithing, and get some EXP in the process!

You head on over to the blacksmith and look into what you can make with the materials you can buy.

>Brass Knuckles (250 Col)
>Studded Leather Gauntlets (300 Col)
>Reinforced boots (400 Col)

You have to keep in mind you could totally fuck this up and waste it all, but from your lessons with the blacksmith it didn't seem TOO hard.

>>576024
How much money do we have?

>>576024
>Brass Knuckles (250 Col)

>>Studded Leather Gauntlets (300 Col)

With the money we have, even if we fuck it up, we can make brass knuckles if we really need to. Our gauntlets are close to breaking.

Studded leather gauntlets

>>576057
Thanks

Can we reinforce the durability of our mask so it dosent break? Or do we have to pay npcs for repair jobs

Yo ok we got 1500 xp for the alpha fight, no level ups for that? Or are you defaulting to 2:1 strength-agility allocation.

Because if you are I'm going to have a need rage

>>576076
I'd prefer NPC until we get some skill up. Don't want to break the damn thing

>>576057
Thank you, I'm an idiot who forgot to drop this at the start of the thread
Might as well also drop my Twitter so you don't have to be watching the thread when I start a new session: https://twitter.com/KayabaQM

>>576024
Studded Leather Gauntlets seem like a good idea, you pay the blacksmith for the metal you'll need and get to work!

Roll 3d20, best of 3!

Rolled 15, 9, 16 = 40 (3d20)

>>576096
Your first strike of the metal layered over the leather is good, it could be better, but for your first time really doing this it's pretty good.

Your second strike your hand slipped a bit and hit where you didn't really want it to.

Your third strike fixed the mistake your second made and then the items were complete!

Three hits on a piece of hot metal layered over your wolf hide made Studded Leather Gauntlets, because SAO.

>Gained Studded Leather Gauntlets (+2 Armor)!
>Gained Blacksmithing Level 2!
>Gained 100 EXP!

You grin, holding the set up over your head, victorious!

...now what the fuck do you do, it's still early in the day, not even noon!

>Go back and meet up with Incog
>Go Questing

>>576139
>Go Questing
I'm looking forward to wearing down the knuckles on these gloves.

>>576139
Sell them for 500 and make them again and the boots!

>>576139
>Buy some clothes

>>576139
See >>575984

>Make incog a pair if gauntlets to

We can't have our team under equipped, especially when her str is so low

>>576163
We only have 250 left as far as I know, that'd make brass knuckles which I doubt she'd equip along with her sword.

>>576139
let's see uh
>>575984
I think this anon has the right look at things.

>>576169
>>576163
Just saying
>>576153
We sell the gloves for at minimum 450 we have just enough to make them again and the boots depending on the wolf pelt used

>>576139
We should find someone to fix our mask, we can't risk losing our best item.
Then go questing

>>576153
>>576184
ahh I remember doing this shit in my one play through of skyrim, fist using argonian using the heavy armor skill that let you convert gauntlet defense to attack plus the unarmed boosting enchantment from one dude in Riften, farmed up blacksmithing skill super high and made myself a pair of daedric gauntlets. good times

>>576258
this. if we lose the mask, no one will care who we are

>>576258 i agree with this

>>576139
You decide to stock up on quests, and ask the blacksmith if there's anything you can help him with, just because he's closest.

"Well lad, I COULD use some iron, all this brass doesn't help when a horse needs shoes, say, there's a mine a little ways south, goes right under the mountain range, full of iron, but those blasted Kobolds have taken it over, do ya think you could clear them out and bring me back some iron? I'll pay ya for a favor that big, heck, I might just give ya a discount on any metal ya buy from me!"

You accept the quest and start asking around to see if there's anything else that needs done at this totally-not-Fargodeep mine.

Seems like the whole town wants those Kobolds gone, you've had a few requests for their body parts, the mayor wants the head of their leader, a local woman who's son was killed wants 20 of their tails, and there's an NPC who wants the fucking CANDLES they carry, for unknown reasons.

Overall, a grand total of four quests for just this one fucking mine.
You are going to powerlevel like fuck from this.

Quest Log:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10HqrtLaQxqV0p5S6Dm23bKvgKyBZkR4spTw2DBrqG_Y/edit?usp=sharing

You scroll through your quest log so you know what you're looking for, and consider if it's wise to bring your currently cooking friend along.

>Bring Incog on the quest-run
>Leave her to cook like the good girl she is

>>576295
>>Bring Incog on the quest-run
At least offer the chance. pus she might have some nice stat buffing foodz

>>576295
>Bring Incog on the quest-run
she's good at knife work and this is going to be close quarters tunnel stuff right?

> bring incog
If she gets the quests to we can get the full xp even with the 50/50 xp division

>>576295
Bring incog with us

>>576295
>Bring Incog on the quest-run
The NPCs call for wetwork, and we answer!

>>576295
>Bring Incog on the quest run

We have to out powergame the Kobold leader. I don't think he'll be a pushover, plus clearing out a whole mine seems like a decent feat.

>>576313
>>576303
quests are shared between the party automatically, so if she checks her quest log she'll know where you are.

So we're eventually going to make gauntlets with wolf teeth on the knuckles, right?

>>576295
Fuck it, you'll need all the help you can get in Close Quarters Combat, considering in all your fights you haven't managed to replicate the blue glowy fist thing you did when you one-shot your first monster, which means you have no Fisting Skills, not even hidden ones.

"Hey Incog, I'm headed to a mine back in the mountain rang-"

Fire
Everything is fire.

"COOKING IS NOT THIS HARD IN THE REAL WORLD!" Incog says, slashing at the fire with her knife "DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT I WANT MY ASSES OUT OF THE OVEN!"

>Help her fight fire with fist
>slowly back away and close the door.

>>576375
We should mention our need to practice fisting skills to Incog later. She seems like she'd be down.

Seriously though
>Help her fight fire with fist

>>576375
>go get a bucket of water
i dont think putting our new leather gloves and our hands into the fire will be very productive, and i doubt that she can handle this

>>576375
>>slowly back away and close the door.

>>576375
>ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA

>>576382

>>576382
Changing vote to this, am stupid

>>576375
>>Help her fight fire with fist
Focus our Ki! Merge it with our fist and throw the punch that will crack the heavens!

>>576375
>Help her fight fire with fist

All we need is one good tornado punch and we'll be a legend. In one person's eyes. Maybe.

>>576375
By Fist, you obviously meant throwing buckets of water at the fire...

Except that doesn't seem to be working, as shown by the 10 different buckets strewn about the place, water steaming out of them.

Then you see the red crystal hovering over the fire and the name under it

FIRE ELEMENTAL

Oh.

You realize maybe fists are the thing to use here, but you're going to wear your old gloves for this one, don't want to lose your brand new studded gauntlets in the fire

Your fist smashes into the fire, burning your gloves to cinders but leaving you unharmed.

The Fire Elemental on the other hand vanishes into a puff of smoke.

"I had it on the ropes, you didn't have to help!" Incog admonishes you, opening the oven that was guarded by the creature to reveal several blackened husks "OH GOD DAMNIT! There goes another three Boar Flanks..." She sighs, pulling out another two and throwing them into the oven on a metal pan like the last three "Here's hoping it doesn't summon ANOTHER one of those assholes, that's the second one today, you know"

No, no you did not know.
You did not want to know.

"Sooooooo" you start "I'm headed over to a cave to kill some kobolds, wanna spare the kitchen another disaster and come along?"

"Sure, let me just get this, won't be a minute, how about you go sit outside and we can eat these before we go! I know I can get them right if the game would STOP SPAWNING FIRE ELEMENTALS IN THE OVEN!"

>Let her cook
>Offer help

>>576478

>>576478
>Let her cook

There's only so much that meta knowledge can help with. If smashing things with a hammer improves Blacksmithing, throwing boar asses into an oven is surely the right method for Cooking.

>>576478
>>Let her cook
Cross our fingers and pray

>>576478
>Let her cook
if nothing else we might she might get an item from the next elemental that shows up, maybe something for fire imbuement.

>>576478
did we just burn our new gloves to death?

>>576548
We switched to the old ones that were about to explode before punching it. Haven't test-driven the new ones just yet.

>>576478
You let her be, sitting in the bar among the NPCs as screams of rage emanate from the kitchen for a solid 10 minutes. She comes out looking happy though, and is carrying two plates of steaming -hopefully not smoking- food, so maybe something went right.

"Two more Fire Elementals down, I'm almost level 5! And...."

She sets the plate down, and you see it.

A Boar Steak, seared on both sides almost perfectly.

"Figured you would like it on the rare side so I didn't cook it as long as I would for myself" She smiles "Go on, try it!"

"Hang on" you say, opening your menu and checking something.

EXP: 3900/4000

Holy shit you're almost level 5, nice!

"EXP Share is the best thing about this game I swear" you say, cutting open the steak and pushing your mask up.

It's just a bit bloody in the middle, like any good steak should be, and on the side is a baked potato with melted butter in it.

"This looks amazing Incog, thank you!" You take a bite, and find yourself enjoying it immensely. It was a little bland, but she's level 1 and this is a common ingredient, and she's had such bad luck that four Fire Elementals spawned from the oven she was using, so for this to taste good at all is a shock.

She eats her own meal at a pace that almost matches yours, glancing at you every so often, obviously happy that the game finally decided to work with her on the whole cooking thing.

Or is that all?

What do ya mean?

Well, she did make a joke about fucking us in the ass, I think that's a sign she's got something of a crush on us

Nah, you're just overanalizing, heh heh, get it? ANALizing?

You're the reason we look like an eight year old, aren't you

SHADDUP THAT WAS ALL KAYABA'S FAULT!

You sigh contentedly as the meal is finished, and check the time. Almost noon, you should head out.

>Leave now
>Look for more quests

>>576567
>Leave now
Yay! Horiblemurder!

>>576567

perhaps try flirting a little bit back to confirm interest? purely out of curiosity, its not like we would fall for a catgirl that easily... baka

>>576576
this

>>576589
to be fair she has a lot of issues that make it an bit weird, though that seems common for SAO heroines now that I think about it. Asuna is...asuna, kirito's sister has incest problems and that girl in the third season had that creepy ass stalker and a phobia of guns from having shot a dude as a kid.
hell incog's actually not too bad going by that standard.

You push back your chair, standing up to your full height and motioning for Incog to follow you.

"Come on, we're burning daylight by basking in the food coma, good as it is I'd rather have it real, and that's not happening until this game is over, so we need to git gud and make that happen, ya know?"

She nods, tossing off the apron she was wearing and putting it in her inventory, leaving her in her usual revealing red mini-skirt and yellow tank top, knife hidden... SOMEWHERE on the outfit.

You're not sure you want to know where she keeps it.

The two of you make good time to the cave, getting there only an hour after you left, the perks of putting more points into AGI than STR.

There's about five Kobolds wandering around it's entrance, oh yes, time to use those new gauntlets!

>>576654
they would run off and we couldn't kill them. We save that for when there are more than like 7, or a boss and several underlings

>>576654
because we do not get xp from the things we howl to death

I thought we got 100 exp for blacksmithing?

>>576639
DICKPUNCH!

You actually heard a mortal kombat announcer voice say that line.
It fucking sucked.
But hey the Kobolds gone!

You turn and move to the next one, asking a question over your shoulder "Hey, Incog?"

"Hm?"

"What was with that comment earlier?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"N-nothing, nothing at all!~" She says, stabbing a kobold in the face and shattering it to dust.

"Uh huh, so you don't want to jump my bones?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Nope, completely joking there, was just messing with you, don't want to have sex with you itwasjustajokeIswear!"

You punch the second kobold in the face and kick it in the crotch, shattering it and moving on to the last one outside the cave, which is actually being targeted by Incog as well.

"Oh, that's all huh? Nothing about wanting the Big Bad Wolf at all? Is it because I've been cursed with this face?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

"N-no I mean yes I mean no yes no maybe I don't know can you repeat the question no wait don't I understood no I didn't yes I did!~"

...You think you broke her, she's stammering and not even moving to attack the last Kobold, so you punt it into the cave and let it shatter against the floor.


>Let her calm down
>Keep teasing her


alright I'm gonna stop making you guys roll for combat when it's just trash mobs, from now on when you're asked to roll it will be against bosses and rare mobs, instead, enjoy entertaining conversation while you fight!

>>576707
>>Let her calm down
OK, ok, just poking back a little. Let's just in to a nice little groove of murder anything that moves and isn't a person

>>576707
>>Let her calm down
if she gets too flustered it'll probably trigger something with her DID stuff, unless that was just a 1 time asspull that we don't have to worry about anymore.

>>576707
>light teasing

>Let her calm down.
A bit of teasing is fun but we really do need to tread carefully with her, it seems.

>>576707
One more, then let her calm down

>>576718
where do you think the other voices in her head come from?

>>576707
This is awful.
I like it.

>>576707
>Light teasing

>>576707
>>Let her calm down
Start the light teasing as soon as she seems calmed down.

>>575875
What's wrong with her calling us wolf man if we can reciprocate with cat girl?

"...okay my furry friend" you start "I understand completely, you know where to find me when you're ready"
You administer the proper amount of headpats for a cat-girl and start checking the battle report

>>Wait until all the quests are done to assign points

>>576784
>wait

>>576784
I feel like we should go 1 STR and 2 AGI to balance out our stats at 7/7 and honestly why wait? It'll help for the rest.

>>576784
Wait, for we must be super swole.

I will still advocate for 2 agility and 1 strength as always, because it's objecivly the best spread all things considered.

>>576803
>>576804
This.

>>576784
>Wait until all the quests are done to assign points

We don't need them, not yet anyway. We're in the groove right now, what we need is to kill Kobolds.

>>576784
Wait.

>>576784
>>Wait until all the quests are done to assign points

>>576784
Fuck it, you'll put that off for when you're not figuring out how to tease your partner and kill kobolds at the same time. You wave the menu away and head deeper into the cave, Incog close at your heals, face almost glowing in the dark...

And that is where we end part 5. There will be no part 6 tomorrow as I have to do TWO fucking jobs then, but on saturday and sunday I'll be running longer sessions.

Thanks for running

I suggested we balance our build to resemble quality. 2 AGI 1 STR would result in 7/7 stat spread.

>>576853
I'm going to reiterate my points, mongoloid
>class: unarmed badass
>fighting style: wreck shit up, never stop moving, repeat
>armor class: light, needs to be in order to continuously fight for extended periods in the way that we do.
>preference in party: alone or with a small one, reinforcing the need for speed

Why is agility more important than strength in all of these instances?

You went to school for a reason anon, the least you could do is use critical thinking skills.

>>576875
Or or or or or or or, we could go with a quality build, keeping them even, so we can both hit hard, AND not get hit.
I know. Crazy thought that maybe we should try to NOT have any crippling weaknesses.

>>576875
Additional support: uses for strength

>raw damage
Almost negligible when rate of attacks from agility is taken into account, also high attack speed allows for statistically more crits. This more than compensates for raw damage on a 1-1 scale.

>physical performance
The only thing worth actually arguing for. That's why I concede to 1 point of strength per level for more diversity in what we are capable of.

Do you understand the shit balance in game and agility bias im pushing people?

>>576930
>Almost negligible when rate of attacks from agility is taken into account
Two words.
Damage. Reduction. I don't know if SAO has it, but if it does it'll be applied to every hit individually, making "muh lots lf small hits" completely useless when none of them can do any damage.

>>576930
>>576949
this is made even worse if damage threshold exists, which it should for big monsters like dragons

>>576949
It does in the form of armor. But otherwise no it doesn't. I'm conceding to one point of strength also because of this, chances are actually skill and knowledge on how to deliver concussive blows Are shit and useless compared to game skills. Because sao a shit vr game.

But we can't afford not to be fast. If other people like kirito exist and they power level as hard as we do then our quality light armor biuld will do absolute ass against a medium or heavy armor quality biuld. Agility skewing is the only effective course of action unless we completely change the way we are now to something more conventional in a larger team.

>>576766
pretty based, m80

When can we level up our Charisma for Will saves and stuff?

>>576930
Wouldn't STR let us be a tank and let us learn how to block things like https://youtu.be/lOWLLJqVUPc

>>577598
Pretty sure that's not a game function. Even if it was going the strength or even quality route would limit us in many ways unless we went with a large party size and heavier armor.

>>577676
Tanks and DPS are the Bread and Butter of MMOs.

>>577676
Also,
>Pretty sure that's not a game function.
We got a move where we howl that hits surrounding people for damage, I am sure if we felt so inclined we could start Tanking if we rose our STR high enough.

>>577701
yes, however, SAO is a shit game. it has no class system that we know of, and only two attributes. it would play more like skyrim than anything else i think

>>577734
well, a multiplayer skyrim minus the magic system and all customization

>>577755
So it's even more shit than vanilla skyrim. The fuck did the author of sao think to himself when he was writing this shitty story? Better question. How the fuck did he think he was sane after publishing it after his failure in the contest he entered sao for?

>>577824
maybe the class system is more designed around just hitting things good and picking skills? If we had healers it would most likely be regulated to bandages and health potions at most.

>>577824
yeah, thats what you get when you try to write about high-level MMO players when you tried everquest once and sucked ass

>>577916
the only healing that i can think of from the anime is healing potions, and it was explicitly sated that there was no magic, hence no healing. in an rpg. this how rpgs work

>>577937
makes that life steal effect on our helmet pretty damn precious doesn't it? wonder if we can migrate the effect to other pieces of equipment so we can stack life steal?

>>577937
There was that bullshit with Rosalia with the healing skill never brought up again.

no, that was more like regen i think, but it may be retcon due it never showing up again

oh yeah random question that was probably addressed but I missed: Do we respawn? cause we aren't wearing a nerve gear so the kill switch... or do we just end up in data limbo for kayaba to laugh at?

>>578088
no it wasn't addressed

>Respawn as kirito
>respawn as kayaba
>we will ourselves back to life just like kirito

>>578116
coming back as ourselves would be awkward as fuck if we ran into incog again, I suppose we could lie and say we're an AI but that's kinda stupid, maybe just say that we were using a bootleg/knockoff/modded nervegear and kayaba's program didn't work on it

Does the rezzing hat work if the nerve gear supposedly fries your brain before 30 seconds pass? Does wearing the hat save you from the shock?

>>578151
30 second delay i think

>>578151
I thought the hat just gave charisma

>>578189
Many hats can look the exact same while having different effects, as is the case in any given MMO.

>>578200
Eh, in the Abridged, it was only rumored that the monster dropped a revival item but it turned out to be a hat. I'm not one to argue about the canon of the abridged series of the anime adaptation of a light novel though, so we'll just have to see what OP has to say about it.

>>578213
Did the anime/manga ever actually use that res item he got or was it just forgotten?

>>578226
kirito gave it to klien, so it was never revealed if it was used

>>578229
I thought klein used it when kirito died?

Seriously, did Klein ever do anything

How did Asuna survive being killed if Klein could only use it on one of them? Did it have unlimited charges?

>>578235
>>578264

nope, at the end kirito revived himself through force of will, and it isnt explained how asuna survived

the item is never mentioned after klein gets it, though kirito told him to use it on someone who was important to him or some shit like that

>>578275
>Klein dekleins to use it on a guildie he doesn't really care about
>the rest of the guild quits

>>578275
>Kirito revived himself through force of will
That is possibly the most retarded ass pull I have ever heard.

After doing some research on SAO for this quest, I discovered that the pic base for us is some fucker named Eugeo, who was Kirito's friend in some other game or something.

Whether this has any impact on the actual quest, I dunno, but I just thought it was interesting to note.

He used his hacking skills to make himself immortal.

>>578291
it's pretty bad, man. although i guess only kirito is badass enough to do it, so it just becomes another example of him being a Gary Stu

>>578275
wtf... i'm glad I never bothered to re-watch that shit, I mean seriously why not have klein use the item there... I interpreted the whole "get the revive item" sequence as a foreshadowing that kirito or asuna would die so I assumed it was used to revive one of them but no? just wtf man.

>>578301

https://youtu.be/HseRwxb7WdM

>>578307
well, they BOTH survive death in the death game.
asuna makes it through plot armor and kirito makes it through pure, unadulterated faggotry

>>578307
Well, it was from the second light novel, whereas the main story all happened in the first light novel, they couldn't really foreshadow anything.

you say that in jest, but he actually gets admin privileges after the first arc when kayaba GIVES KIRITO HIS FUCKING LOGIN INFORMATION

ah, I only watched the anime, and iirc the revive item thing came before the climactic death scene in the anime, though I could be misremembering

So wait. This little faggot not only somehow managed to write the code to store an artificial intelligence's code as an in-game item from scratch, he had the time to MAKE HIMSELF IMMORTAL, but he still couldn't be bothered to change a single value, in a single line of code, from 'no' to 'yes', in order to reactivate the logout button?!
FUCK, this show is bad!

>>578366
no, he is not actually a hacker. he did the yui thing from the admin terminal at the bottom of floor -1. it was an option i guess?

>>578366
Yeah, that guy's videos are entertaining. Speaking of anime reviewers, will we walk the path of a certain masked man? https://youtu.be/5592F8Le6xg

>>578379
Why in the name of Jesus Yamato would that be a pre-existing option in the game's code?!
That makes even less sense than him having 1337 h4xx0r 5k1llz!

>>578389
What guy?

>>578379
converting an AI into anything isn't a prebuilt option i've ever heard of, even just compressing one probably requires special programs and precautions to prevent it fucking the things mind up.
I suppose Yui could have set up the necessary protocols and made a button for him to press under admin authority from the terminal.

>>578400
https://youtu.be/qZ9NlThB3SY Well, I suppose fault lies with me for thinking this is not a conclusion anyone could come to.

>>578410
you forget: this is an ass pull, anything goes

>>578429
yeah... just sometimes I have a bad habit of trying to impose logic where I can even if there isn't actually any there.
that said subverting canon just got even more fun out of pure spite for this idiocy.

>>578444
mr.trips, that isnt even the worst part. there was that one arc where the two best players in the game take a break from trying to break out of SAO just to have some feels out in a cabin in the woods and have an AI kid for at least like a month

>>578480
Quality writing.

>>578444
>>578480
and the fact that yui was only able to appear to happy people, which implies that kirito and asuna were the only people out of 10,000 in two years of playing that were happy

>>578480
yeah... I mean I found that bit kinda cute but it made no sense. I was expecting some sort of power leveling being involved...

speaking of power leveling, do enemies stop giving exp after a while or just give negligible amounts? cause once it gets to that point we can just spam howl at them to boost up the skill, maybe it'll gain additional effects like an attack buff for the user and allies or something.

>>578497
>only to happy people
wtf... wait, does that mean we'll run into yui instead now? cause were not nearly as depressed as the general population and we plan to fuck with kirito pretty frequently which should make him an unhappy camper

>>578504
that is not explained, but i assume that we can't just kill boars forever, so this might be a solid plan

>>578513
sure, if we go wandering through the woods on floor 34 i think, then we certainly could if QM wills it.

>>578514
why, what are you planning?

>>578527
the question is: How do we treat her? I mean she's a grade A pass to gamecode fuckery so we want to make nice, I guess we could do the goofy embarrassing dad thing.

>>578531
meant to respond to >>578513

>>578536
we could treat her like our cub. very kawaii

>>578531
well, since we have meta knowledge we could probably start on the whole yui preservation mission early and thus have more time to fuck with things at the admin terminal, things like removing durability from the game, fucking with enemy spawn rates, or just creating gear that wouldn't be possible normally.

mostly though I'm a sucker for cute slice of life stuff in the middle of fantasy settings, that said I don't want us to spend more than like a day with out some sort of training happening if we do hang out on floor 34.

>>578552
who would be the mother? and would she be any good at it?

>>578597
the mother would be dead who we would have a locket of who we would rejoin once we finish the game

>>578597
the only girl we know is incog... that could be hilarious... but... eh we'll see if we meet anyone else, technically since we've got blacksmithing skill we might do well with the blacksmith lady who made kirito's second sword.

>>578640
Nah, she's with Agil/Tiffany. 'Cuz blacksmiths belong together.

>>578643
i don't remember who those people(that person?) is/are... but ok.

>>578652
Lisbeth the pink-haired blacksmith chick, and the big black dude who is also a smith. he is called agil in the anime, tiffany in the abridged series

>>578640
>>578635
am i the only one who can see us going on a chris-chan-esque quest for a mom for yui?

>>578658
ah, ok I sorta remember the black dude.
thanks, and good night.

>>578666
Unfamiliar with the reference but I think I get the idea, that could be pretty entertaining.

>>578674
>he doesn't know about chris-chan
Google it right now.

>wake up and check thread
>DISCUSSION
Jesus, I have a lot of questions to answer.
Fortunately most of these have to do with plot asspulls I'm not responsible for that don't even happen for another year in the story!

First off, in abridged at least, Yui gave Kirito admin privileges and he used them to... Essentially cut and paste the data into a folder on his NerveGear's hard drive that could then be expressed as an in-game item.
Still an ASSPULL, but nowhere near as bad as canon.

And almost everything else hasn't happened in abridged yet and Sauska can't have seen it even if it comes out soooo... Doesn't really effect us.

>>578842
And I forgot the fucking trip.

Anyways, no, I will not be running today, I'm taking a quick break from QMing because I have to work at my second job, yay! please kill me.

And that's really all I have to say, see you guys tomorrow!

Reminder that the Martial Arts skill is locked behind a quest on the 2nd floor, make sure we get it instead of Kirito.
Also reminder that we need to punch a rock to unlock Martial Arts, so invest in str

>get into S2
>Hang out with Incognito under the handle GaoruGaijin.

So, a thought for when we meet Tiffany.
Should try namedropping a certain "Easter Dave". See how he reacts.

>>578850
Didn't know that was a thing. Sauce from the source? Because that never happened in the show.

I just realized we didn't use the exploit that guild master did with the following NPCs. "WE MUST SAVE MY FAMILY." Would've made some good cannon fodder.

>>579043
Until they get our ass killed. Or block the doors, trapping us in a room.

>>580112
SAO has no magic, newfag

>>580112
There is no magic system in SAO but there is equipment effects and skills, so we can probably get some sort of aoe shockwave if we train hard enough, maybe by tossing ourselves at multiple foes at once.
we can also probably make gear that boosts our stats.

>>580128
ALO quest when? Can I make an Explosion build and become the Megumeme?

>>580141
considering that the data transfer from SAO to ALO supposedly try's to make the character stats equivalent, our current character wouldn't be properly specced for that, though exploding fist stuff could be fun.

>>580141
well, i assume after this one if the QM doesnt die o exaustion from creating good content so often, as it seems to have a draining effect on people.
if so, we will probably carry over from this character, so fist based explosions could happen

>>580157
not sure if I'll do ALO, might skip directly over to GGO
but yes, this is going to go until I can't run things anymore, which... shouldn't happen any time soon, so long as real life doesn't kick me in the balls.

>>581913
ALO, GGO, they're both piles of shit to step in. Plus, how can we transfer to another game if we're a spooky ghost man?

>>581913
and what do you think of my bullshitting here:>>578116 ?

>>581933
death is death, you'll end up baleeted like a certain little girl was, and it's unlikely a pissed off nerd with admin privileges will be able to save you.

Oh, while I'm not running tonight (much as I want to, I think taking a break from writing is good for my sanity) I'm happy to answer questions for the next few hours.

>>581957
Will you actually end up patching and making the game half decent in the least over time.

>>581973
Core mechanics like skills and stats won't change, but bugs and such will get patched as shown in the abridged series, along with some other stuff like how blacksmithing works.

>>581987
Yeah I was a bit surprised we didn't get a little mini game like when liz made kirito his sword.

>>581973
Kayaba made an AI to oversee and patch the game while generating new quests for each player to do, you realize? He doesn't actually oversee anything while playing the game.

>>582027
Except for one little fact.
In the abridged world, Yui mentions KAYABA, not the Cardinal system, locked her away

>>581957
When is Argo going to show up? Why can't we pay her col to ask her questions?

That holds no relevance to the current discussion. Kayaba does not patch things in SAO when he begins playing.

Her real world self though is ugly as fuck.

You're not into asians with glasses? Even when they can take the glasses off to increase their sex appeal by 500%?

The implication is the Cardinal system doesn't exist in the abridged series, and it is instead an actual team of living people doing patches and such.
