All of the Matsutas? Just how many are there...?

@Yunagi

About 4017

Are we having fun yet? It's been interesting do far and I'm looking forward to where we end up. :)

Speaking of equipment and such though... will the GM be deciding what kind of armor and wrappings that we come across on our adventures?

[Tracyarmav]

Hey, do you have room for one more?

Made a bit of a mistake and actually posted right after Vocab without seeing his post, so I edited it just now, please read it again if you read it before I edited it! ><;

[Ookawa]

I dunno if I should wait for other people to post... I'm just too impatient, especially since I live in Europe and go to bed at around 11pm GMT... xD

[Yunagi]

I know that feeling, it's so hard waiting! I end up waiting until 3 AM just to read posts from people stateside, then fall asleep immediately afterwards.. XD

[LadyTale]

@pockets I'm not entirely sure. I was thinking that item drops could be decided by myself in collaboration with the person receiving the item(s).

@Tracyarmav Of course, I always have room~ Accepted!

[Ookawa]

Question: I've been browsing the wiki, but I couldn't find out whether you get EXP by crafting or gathering too?

[Yunagi]

Well, those have their own skills, apparently, but I don't know if they contributed to the same level as the combat skills, or if they're counted together. Like, players have a level, but also individual skills with levels in two main categories, support and combat, which was never fully explained what contributes to the main level. Maybe a split of EXP goes partially to the main level, partially to the skill level, kind of like Skyrim or something? Should we improvise?

In short, I have no clue either.

[LadyTale]

I don't know, either. ~quip~ I s'pose, between the three of us, we'll figure something out.

@Yunagi

I imagined it being like that, otherwise nobody would take their time to even do crafting or gathering of any kind.

@PyroDash888

Not necessarily true, remember the mobs were getting farmed pretty hard by all the good players, those with less skill might turn to crafting simply to have something to do with their time.

[Ookawa]

Sorry, a bit short, but I don't have much time right now xD

[Yunagi]

While waiting for a few more posts so I can move on again, here I am... watching SAO for the, what, fifth time? Sixth maybe?

...I need professional help. ;_;

[LadyTale]

@Yunagi There's nothing wrong with that! I would do it, too, if I had the time. Because Kirito is cool, Klein is funny, Asuna is amazing, and Yui is the cutest anime child ever.

@LadyTale

T-thank you for reassuring me ;__;

I think I'll just skip over the ALO part, because it's just... meh. Otherwise, I'll enjoy it all, marathon time! c:<

[LadyTale]

@Yunagi

You are quite welcome.~ Anything for a fellow fan.

I agree, ALO could be better. My favorite parts of that arc were the flying and Yui. Seriously, Yui is too adorable for words. Have fun!

@LadyTale

Oh, the flying was great and a lot of it was definitely a good time, especially that setting, it's just that Asuna becoming a literal princess in a castle, the lack of the lethal consequences that SAO had (and GGO would later have too), and the whole love triangle became a bit frustrating. Also, Suguha's reaction to meeting Asuna? "Wow, she's cool, I'll totally give up on Kirito and just be her friend, supporting them, it's totally not as if I've been in love with him for years!". Just, what. I mean, anything would be better than that, it felt like a cop out. Still, the more lighthearted atmosphere was a great relaxer after the edge-of-your-seat action of SAO, and it was good in that way. Plus, it wrapped up the whole first season quite well, it gave even more closure to the first part, which was welcome indeed, along with setting up the later plots with the proliferation of VR tech. Iris would be proud. XD

[LadyTale]

I agree. Asuna is too BA to just sit around like a princess in a fairy tale, and Suguha's love for Kirito kinda squicked me out. He's your cousin, girl, not cool!
ALO did what it was supposed to do, story-wise, and I rather like that scene on the bridge where Kirito turns into a beast and kicks butt~
The villain of ALO, however, did his job very well. I hate him and his creepiness! Stupid stalker pervert creep. I actually kind of liked Kayaba, but ALO's villain? Not worthy of the name Oberon.

(I do like some creepy villains - Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold from OUAT and Ghirahim from LoZ: SS come to mind - but ALO's villain is seriously messed up.)

[Yunagi]

Okay, partially from getting inspired by watching SAO and partially because I won't be able to get any posts in until tomorrow night (I'm in Paris all day), I'll be getting a post up soon!

EDIT: Post is up. It made me happy to write it. ;D
See you all tomorrow, folks! Happy RPing!
