[OOC] SAO: Living in Aincrad

[Animal]

So much has happened xD

[LupusIntus]

Um...
You can't actually click the crystal, since ... you would have to be standing at the Frenzied Boar to do that
Also, the only information you can see, is the name of the enemy above the crystal
The color of the crystal will give an indication of the monster's level, based on your level (Red = same level, darker = higher level, lighter = lower level)

EXP and col I think will be moderated and monitored for levels and stuff.
(Discussing the details with Caits)
(Don't worry, you don't need to remember what your exp is, and how much you need to level and all the calculations and stuff, it will be just rough work, so you don't just suddenly jump more than you should be and things like that
(We will just check things like, okay, you just reached level 3, but you only killed 6 lower leveled monsters and are trying to say you reached level 4, the exp from that monster should not be enough to get close for example)

@Little_ninja

That's fine, just removed it and the XP/Col/items were more flavor-text than anything. I noticed the intro OOC said we could start anywhere up to lvl 3? I'm assuming that it's fine that Akira is level 2 as he progressed much slower in the opening hours because he has no idea what he's doing.

@LupusIntus

Yes, it is fine for Akira to progress slower
There is no rule enforcing people to start at level 3, they may start level 1 or 2

@Eklispe
You should mention @Stale Pizza's character, Masae/Aero as well, who is coaxing YukiHana.
It seems you didn't realise it, but yeah, another character is there coaxing her too

[Animus]

@Eklispe

You might want to include in your post that Aero/Masae already approached Hanako before you did. Unless this is some meta time lapse thing.

Uh....
Where did you get this info from?
Source please

It would be simpler if it worked on facial recognition, as it does scan the face (which is how it got the face for SAO)

@Little_ninja

1st Episode of the original Sword Art Online arc. When Kayaba appears, and they get changed back to their normal appearances, Klein guesses that the system knew how they looked like: "Did you remember that when you had to install the game, they told you to 'calibrate' your body by touching it all over?"

@Stale Pizza

That's got nothing to do with genetic information
Not like it's sampling your genes or anything
That's calibrating.
Another user could use it, but the calibration would be off, and the gameplay would probably be awkward, unless they had almost identical builds

@Little_ninja

Well, I probably worded it wrong. I sort of meant something more simple like fingerprints or general appearance.

[Little_ninja]

Like I said, facial recognition would just work best in this case =.=

[chukklehed]

after much deliberation, I've decided the best way to play as a Solo Player is to follow my own plottline, and post summaries of what I've been doing every once in a while, then show up for minor group plots and major story plots

[Little_ninja]

It would be good to post where you are from time to time, in case others are near by, they may choose to talk to your character or something, you know
Give opportunity to interact (You can still be solo, just allow for more interaction)

@chukklehed

Would you reconsider by interacting with my character? We can be a duo of duos! The idiotic loudmouth and the silent killer! The perfect pair! Also the two don't really feel the need to leave just yet so they have that in common xD

[Little_ninja]

@Savo
I thought I knew you from somewhere, and I was right!
the Dangan Ronpa RP In Despair We Trust

We didn't even get to the first death!!!!

[chukklehed]

I was planning that ninja. Also Tsukiya probably won't team up, but your character can follow her around for a while

[KoL]

@Little_ninjaMaybe I'm wrong (I won't question you) but I'm pretty sure I read about a marshland on the 1st floor the last time I read the novel. But it's been ages since then, so maybe my memory is a little fuzzy. Anyway, Progressive has a lot more info about that and the 2nd floors, I should get go read it ASAP.



Looks like I'm just a little of, it may not be a marsh, but there's at least wet land:

Unlike the higher floors of Aincrad, the 1st Floor does not have a particular theme or dominant geography. As the starting location of all new players, the great expanse of the 1st Floor is quite diverse.

The Starting City is located on the southern end of the floor and rests over the edge of the floating castle. The metropolis has a diameter of approximately 1km and is the focal point of the floor, featuring the teleport gate in the central plaza. The city wall forms a semi-circle to the north.

Grasslands surround the Starting City, and they are populated primarily by boar and wolf-type monsters. Worms, beetles, and wasp-type insect monsters also inhabit the grasslands surrounding the Starting City.

To the northwest of the Starting City, there is a deep forest region. The northeast is a lake region. Players must pass through either of the two regions before reaching a significantly more dangerous mountainous region containing ruins, valleys, and more difficult monsters.

The 1st Floor Labyrinth is located on the far northern edge of the floor. It begins at part of a large 300 meter wide by 100 meter tall tower that is a portion of the dungeon that leads to the 2nd Floor. This Labyrinth has twenty floors before the boss room on the 20th floor of the Labyrinth.

@Asuna YuukiWe have to way until @PKMNB0Y Fujiwara's answer before continuing, wait just a little longer. I'll have a reply ready in a few more hours (gotta go work now) even if he hasn't posted yet. If you to go on by yourself just say we reached the area we are going to and I' already looking for ore, 'cause even if he doesn't come that's what's gonna happen, anyway. ^^ Sorry if this is bothering you.

@chukklehed

Woo! Good enough for me! They will enjoy each other's company I think xD

@KoL

Ah your right about that, no particular theme
Forgot
Just seems very grassland-ish so I thought it's theme was that
But I was fairly sure of not having a swamp or marshlands, wetlands, okay, I didn't know it had that

The rest of the floors do though

I've also been meaning to read progressive T.T

[MarshiestMallow]

Is there anything I need to address? I probably won't be able to post for a few more hours. At the movies (seeing avengers!!) and don't have much internet credit. Right now, I've found free wifi while I wait for my friends

[Grayscythe]

Ah so much has happened. Cinco de mayo + restaurant = late night working. I was supposed to get off three hours ago but then the bar rush came and...well here I am. I need a new job.

I'll read up and try to catch up. I'm weighing in options between the various groups at this point.

[Lennon79]

Jesus... I want to post, but you've all gone so fast that I can't keep track of who's where or with who...
