SorrowTheEternal

Well Sorrow good on you for joining in on the action since being an observe for so long. Welcome to Aincrad! On a side note..... Where are the penguins. I was promised penguins.

Well, I need something to pass the time since I'm currently unemployed and looking to move far away (Currently in the middle of the states and wanting to look for somewhere on the east coast). Its been a while since I've actually RP'd seriously so I may be a bit rusty.

As for the penguins.. they are currently forming the masses.. ready to strike when I give the word >:3.

... So yeah

Figured I should post this since I lurk around every so often. A friend invited me to this forum a while ago, what seems like months, so I made an account. Then IRL happened and poof went most of my interest in RP. But after re-watching SAO, this time dubbed, and now watching Log Horizon, only seemed right to check it out again. Though, it seems.. rather dead. If I get the feeling to RP I'll be sure to write up a Character sheet for either SAO or Log Horizon, though most likely will be the latter.

Anyways, enough of the explanation.. feel free to ask me anything.

-Sorrow-

'Nuff said. XD

Agreed.

Typically it wasn't his type of game. He wasn't much of an MMORPG kind of gamer. Took too much time and sucked the soul out of you trying to do ever tedious thing but, something about this game called to him. Once it was released he was one of the lucky few to grab the game on release date and quickly started it up once he arrived home. Though, once he did nothing was the same after that..

@_@ I'm beginning to think we may be putting too much thought into this. I say we use a d20 system :P

Eh, to me either way is correct. Alfheim is how its spelled on the box, Aelfheim is closer to how its pronounced.

So obviously this RP is all about SAO, should there be another section for Aelfheim Online for people to RP in the future?

that awkward moment when you feel like you're watching the anime at the same pace as someone else....

Literally just had this thought, and I'm on the episode which they introduce Aelfheim.

Here's what I meant on mini-profile type

[attachment=0]sigtemplate.png[/attachment]

Small and unobtrusive, just gives pointers and slightly more interesting than text alone.

But I don't mind having no sig at all, so whatever you guys want works for me.

Twas exactly what I was thinking. Good job!

Why would we not approve same sex marriages?

Its the Internet, nuff said.

Since it was never really shown or enough information given on the marriage, there could be mini-event/quest that could be used to make it more interesting rather than just waking up to a temple/priest/whatever and hitting just a few options and boom its done.

I found that thread after I posted this one (it was like 6:30am for me). ;-;

My die has been cast, however.. it seems I just tied it up. :/

Personally, I see no use for signatures other than a way to keep stats in view at all times. Like a HUD display.

Disheartening yes, but it would keep some motivation within the player base to be active.

I think i have mentioned that if your in a Field Topic and you go inactive for to long (2 weeks or a month) that your character should die as it would be the same thing as sleeping in the Field in SAO. Never know when a PK'er will wonder by/Monster spawn so that amount of time should be long enough.

However, if you are in a Town or a Safe Area inside of your Field Topic, then you can be there for as long as your heart content, but a member should attempt to write a post when they get back as to what they did during that time (in character of course)

I agree, however, if you go afk in a safe zone or town and you do not post within a given time, there should be some kind of penalty. Some exp loss or something.

An item Managment system would be nice if we could get one. If not, the we could have it so the GM's have to approve that you got said item (that way players dont OP them selves)> However, this will require a lot of work on the GM side because they are most likaly going to be the approval system for the character sheet's themselves.

From the looks of things it'll be a lot of work for GM's/Admins in general as it is. Constant moderation, I think yes.

Well for a TRPG's sake, some things may have to change and differ-ate from the series itself. If not, the only reason for GM's would be for if battles were to occur and for basic rule enforcing within the SAO RP.

However, here is another question. What if said retired GM/Resigned GM wants to come back as a GM for what ever is there reason. Can they switch to being a GM once more? I would assume yes as it would be about the same thing as if someone was just hired. But still want thoughts and idea's

Here is a good question though, how would a GM be able to RP in SAO if there was only one Staff member in the whole series? The game itself was ran off of the Cardinal System (pretty much its own built in GM System). Would the GM's be able to access this system to find problems in the game or be able to use them to advance the story by finding a rare item once in a while and getting a party to go get it. Hey, that wouldn't be a bad idea for an Event. :D

Not a bad idea for an Event idea if the decision is made to follow said route.

Ok, I'm going to be 100% honest. Till now, I've never really heard of SAO. Anime or Manga wise. Granted, from what information given on the site and from my own gatherings, it's something I'm greatly interested in. Though I've only watched 1 episode thus far, knowing there is no magic in this MMORPG setting and only skills from what I can tell, what skills with their be? Are they all named within the anime or will their be ones made from the minds of the GM's and Admins within the game? From the episode I watched, episode one obviously, the one skill shown is a simple lunge with a cross swing. From the episode, I'm just gonna take a guess at this skill will only be available for Daggers, One-Handed Swords and Possibly Two-Handed Swords (possibly more damage done or completely new name for Two-Handed Weapons).

What other skills are there and what other kind of weapons will be available for the players to use? With their be cross class possibilities? Multi-class?

Well that escalated quickly... (Couldn't resist using the meme *shot*)

Indeed, we could do chapters and as each 10 floors or so is cleared, we could add a new chapter? Active narrative that changes to what ever is happening in the RP! We can also add how many players have died since launch and dates?

I like this idea just as long as it doesn't get too out of hand.

Well assuming players will be able to edit character sheets, they could simply add it to their inventory after consent with a GM or a GM would modify their post to include the item in their inventory.

Negative Ghostrider. Once they retire/quit being a GM they have to be a normal player.

^ I'm for this idea. :P
