well if it doesn't exist then it would be -/1000sorry I need to shut up... when I'm up past midnight you'd swear I was drunk or something >.> my mind pretty much explodes out of my skull and I get horrible ADHD... cant stop the thoughts that go through my head...

If I left it as -/1000, I'm pretty sure I'd have gotten questions asking why its a minus sign and all that. Seeing as how most of the CS still have the guides/outlines I typed up as something to help you fill out the character sheet, I'm pretty sure that the -/1000 would've caused more problems. Does that 1 really bother you that much? Is it that big of an issue?

aaah, but if that's a place holder, then every skill starts at level one, so we should be ADDING to that number rather than REPLACING that number.and I do have skype, problem is I have to use my phone for it and it bugs out a lot...

It means that if you haven't played around with the stat and left it as it is, it will be counted as zero (because that skill doesn't exist for you) we're replacing the number instead of adding to it because it means you chose to unlock that specific skill and add points to it. Unlocking the skill sets it to 0, allowing you to add your stat points to it. I am not asking everyone to redo their entire CS simply to fix this.

As for the Spr-Agi dilemma, combining both stats leaves room for one more skill - defense. This does not exist in the SAO universe, according to the wiki. I did not want to deviate too far from lore (this can cause lots of problems for the lore purists out there). Also, changing this would require everyone to redo their CS. I'm not asking anyone to do all that unless we call for a vote and get majority.

You raise a whole bunch of excellent points. We (the GMs) have already been looking into this matter but have yet to come up with a solution that'd won't end up with redoing everyone's stats or causing more difficulties for people. Short of redoing most of the stat system, I'm sorry to say that I'm at a loss as to how this can be fixed.

Do none of you use skype? </3 Because making a skype group and discussing this would go so much faster.

Edit: the 1/1000 is a place holder number.

Alright, the ooc is getting quite difficult for me to follow on a phone along with the PMs.

Lillium-RPG <-- my skype. Msg me on it if you have something you'd like to discuss. That'd make it a lot easier for me.

Thanks!

I was just looking through the abilities... why would sprinting effect dodging strikes...? wouldn't agility make more sense?

Sprinting(movement speed) is actually the speed/evasion stat. Some of it got messed up in translation, I'd expect. The SAO wiki lists agility as something else.. so. I've added that bit about fall damage to the Agi stat because just aerial maneuvers and jump height seems somewhat.. meh.

Also.

At the risk of sounding like an utter bitch, screw it, I already do

Please do not jump into another person's setting/post without clearing it with them ooc or through a PM first. We're all for spontaneity when it follows basic RP etiquette and common sense. This goes for everyone. Hopefully, it'll make things run smoother.

Is Tiberious gonna get on and post the meeting date?

Actually, that's on me. It's my turn to post. I apologize for the lateness >.< I'm dealing with a couple of things right now. I'll get a post in today though, don't worry.

Sorry. I just developed a true love towards my character, I WILL STOP THIS FLAMBOYANT BOASTING.

Nero, it's not nice to lie D: We all know you'll do it again in about 10 minutes. Give or take a few.

BUT that's okay. You're like the unbelievably conceited cousin of the RP the rest of us just tolerate and roll our eyes at.

Well I'm thinking basic shit that a lot of games do... Skill uses... exploration... stuff like that... becaus... y'know... not EVERY character in the RP is combat oriented... >.>

That could be a very good idea. However, the problem with that is someone could type up a post going something along the lines of 'He/she explored the entire mountain peak. There was snow. And bunnies. He used a teleport crystal to port back to town, having finished mapping out the place." BAM. Exp.

Since you've clearly stated that your character is not a combat type (and told us how she makes her living/contributes to the world) I think we should think of a way to let her level up. Though, please do keep in mind that she will not level up as quick as the ones who choose to do it through combat.

this talk of EXP/leveling... I feel the need to ask... is EXP only obtainable through combat? or are there other methods?

Right now, yes. I feel like implementing something else into the current EXP system will give me (and everyone else) more headaches. If you can come up with a way/idea that's helpful. Please don't hesitate to let us know.

Yo, so between the grinding Titan's been doing for a while, and the bit of exp he got from the party-share, I'd say that he's within a level-up, correct? I'm asking because I think I read something about having to ask OOC first?

Correct.
