Good news!! Battle equations have been hammered out (sort of, I will fix issues as they appear. Any "bugs" can be counted as the cardinal system's self-fixing programs). As for how this will work, I will break it down, then give greater detail below. Basically, I want to focus mostly on the narrative of this story as much as possible. So, even with combat set with stats, I will take care of all stat based combat and allow the player to describe how combat plays out. 
	EX.: GM (or me); rolling dice and +-/* like a boss, then let the player know the outcome
	     Player; Waling along the road, Jonah came across a wild boar. It immediately charged him, but he was ready for it and easily dodged to the side. Before the boar could turn for another attack, Jonah lunged forward and...........

I'm sure you get the point. Now, it doesn't have to be that way. Just let me know if you want to do combat yourself, and I will either set it up so you can do it yourself, or we can arrange a time to do it together. Either way is fine, so long as I know the results.
Second, there isn't much limit on who or what your character can be, so I will explain that below. Lastly, post order. I would like at least one post from each player each week. If you are in parties, make sure at least one of the PC's can post and that the missing player(s) are okay with their party members posting in their stead. Beyond that, the obvious rules still apply, but I'll explain below anyways.

	[hider=Character:][list][*]No godmodding....... yet. It's the cardinal system. Anything is possible, but let's keep that at a minimum for now.[*]If you wish to play an SAO survivor, please let me know before hand. This goes hand in hand with the next note.[*]No matter if they were an SAO survivor or not, they can't have had any contact with the main characters of the anime. If you don't know who these are, look for it on google. [url=http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Category:SAO_Players]Here's a link to the best list I can find.[/url][/list][/hider]

	[hider=Combat:][list][*]Remember, either I can do it an leave all the narrative of the combat to you (please be creative), or you can join in the hustle of the mathematics our teachers told us we would be using it for the rest of our lives. God, how they were right.[*]For the mechanics of battle, I will hold onto things you don't need to know and share the ones you can know at your discretion. Just let me know an I will explain what I can.[list][*]Remember, either you can be the narrator or mathematician, but you still get to make the post for your character. My goal is to cater to the niche of every player who wants to play this out.[/list][/list][/hider]
	
	[hider=Posts:][list][*]I would like it to be set so that every player gets a chance once a week to post if they can. So, for now only one post until every other player has made at least one post for every post you have made.[*]The post order can be discussed in detail for the day/week, but it is ultimately up to me who posts when and where.[*]My only piece of advice, I'm sure you've heard it before, is to have fun, because if you don't, then there's one of two things...[list][*]Either this RP was a waist of valuable time that I could have used entertaining a monkey[*]Or, you're just a prick and need to go.[/list][/list][/hider]

	Here's a character I've made so you guys can make one yourself.

	[hider=link23454:][list][*]Real Name: Darrin Guillot[*]Player Name: link23454 (aka: Link or D)[*]Nationality: America[*]Description:[*]Alignment: Neutral Good[*]Real Life Story(job and living status is fine): Currently a computer programmer, and lives alone in a high security complex.[*]Role in-game:[list][*]Goes in unhanded, as this SAO allows unhanded combat.[*]Tries to draw the attention of all attackers slower than him.[*]Has unparalleled speed with his hands and legs. Everything else though? …………………[/list][*]Why are they playing?: Honestly for the money. Even if the money is a lie, at least he feels that something good could come out of attempting the game.[*]Play Style Focus: If the story/lore is interesting, he will focus less on what he is getting and his stats. Otherwise, he likes stats and items more.[/list][/hider]
