Someone please answer me, am I too dirty minded to have read this sentence and thought that Thomas was admiring something else about that dog?

Nothing like dirty jokes to lift the mood of the OOC, not?

@Mega Birb

Hey, it's not because Emma is Irish that it means that a fistfight must ensue wherever she goes, you know it, don't? That said, it doesn't means that one couldn't happen in the foreseeable future as well.

I expect Aaron to play the knight, if that's the case. After all, Emma is just a normal girl outside of Deep Ground. I wonder if I should make her actually more ill than she looks? You know, the drama must roll on.

[OldManWong]

I feel like being an outlaw is by far the least cost effective by the fact that XP is the end all currency of the game. Especially for upper level players. Level 6 is basically the cut off from it being reasonable, beyond that, there's a ridiculous amount of killing that would have to occur to make up for an entire level's worth of exp. The ratio of kills to deaths would have to be godly, for just any player, it would be impossible, especially a budding guild like the Ebony Strykers.

[Lucius Cypher]

It isn't. Being an outlaw is less about gaining EXP, because as you say it's not cost effective. Being an Outlaw is a statement saying that you don't give a shit about EXP or levels, you just want to kill people. That's why most of the people who are Outlaws are kinda scummy. Or at least getting a real good deal out of the possibility of losing a level. Of course, level 3 outlaws have very little to lose, since you can't go lower than three once you reached it. It's one of the reasons why Arms Slave isn't level 8 right now. He's been losing his levels due to being an Outlaw to fulfill contracts.

@Lucius Cypher
So, any issues with Rufus?

[Mega Birb]

@KoL I've got a girl with dry driftwood for bones ready to go at a nod, you can't get much more ill than that. And if push comes to shove, magical crowbar appearance because Aaron played too much Half-Life in his childhood.

@OldManWong@Lucius Cypher

You two may say that, but the fact that it's hard, to engage in organized PVP and grinding Dissolutions is a steep slope to climb, makes being an Outlaw a decent tactic, you just have to be savvy to use it well. More often than not, forming Outlaw bands is the best strategy as far as I could see.

That at least should be the design reasoning behind the creation of the Outlaw status, people forgetting about it doesn't make it less true. You can't simply create a feature to appease the wannabe psychos of the game. If Deep Ground is all about risk, than taking the riskiest approach should earn more results, if you have the luck/skill to back it up.

Ultimately, I think that being an Outlaw is comparable to trading high risk stocks, or beginning a startup on a barely explored field. You can get stupidly rich, stupidly fast, but more often than not, you'll end up bankrupt. In other words, being an Outlaw is for those who have guts.

@Mega Birb

Actually, I may pass on the ill girl act, I don't want this to become the crappy Arc 02 of SAO II, after all. Aaron incarnating Gordon Freeman might actually be interesting.

[TheWendil]

@Jedly

_{Ahah, totally didn't forget about that.}

We shall start the tourney tomorrow! People, post up your songs and the lovely GMs (that means you @KoL, [@LuciusCypher]) will judge which shall be the themes. For those who forgot, we're looking for songs for the First Arc, Second Arc, OP, and Ending themes.
