They'd still murder them, for sure ( and I'm sure they believe that in-game death means death irl ). They're psychopaths who want to kill and get away with it. And in this game, it's the best way. Since once you get out, no one can arrest you, because there is no proof they can show to the police. Edit: Those who suicided at the beginning, didn't believe in-game death meant death irl, because they were scared, I guess. They were so scared they wanted to " escape " that " reality " which was SAO right now. Atleast I think so, maybe someone can explain this better than me. Or tell me I'm wrong, because I may be wrong. |

I think suicides had many reasons behind them. Some of them may have intended to simply die, others may have tried it as a way to "log out". Whether that worked for them or not is unknown. Would you try it? Both SAO anime and LN did a great a good job leaving the viewer as disconnected from reality as the characters. While reading/watching, you really never know if people wake up after they turn into crystals. That the most frightening part of the death game, the lack of information. |

And if you try to say something like "well that's wrong because you're preventing these guys from supposedly logging back on, which is unfair" to which they'll just reply "it's a part of the game, PK'ing was and is a feature of SAO, and so I'm just doing what the game allows me to do."

There's no way any sane person will kill another person in-game without being 100% sure it isn't going to kill them in real life. They're just cowarding their way out, not blaming themselves for the lives they took away, and trying to get away with it. Cowards. And yeah. GenjiChan, I'm sure they'd act that way. Once they don't know if their life is endangered or not, they'll just assume they can die, and beg for forgiveness / spare their life. ( Just how she surrendered even though she thought they wouldn't die? Laughing at her; She says there's no evidence people actually die, so why not fight back? hmm? ) And... -> zRichard - No, I wouldn't suicide in-game without knowing if I would die in real life or not. If I had the slightest chance of dying in real life, why would I try to end it up? I might as well live it to the max and try to enjoy it. Last edited by Karakuri; 2012-09-14 at 17:15. |

>live it to the max I don't really know what I would do. Would you go out there, risk your life and play the game aiming to clear it? Or just sit at Floor 1 waiting to be saved? Would you bore yourself to death or just play the game to death? No wonder why there are only 600 players left fighting at the frontlines. |

Everyone in-game has only Kayaba's words to trust. The fact that Kayaba said "you can get out if you clear the 100th floor" gave the drive for most people to actually believe that they will really die if killed (ugh...). Because if he lied about that, then there is also the possibility of him lying about getting out if the 100th floor is cleared. That is unacceptable for them, and thus they took every word Kayaba said as truth. I'm not sure to which party the burden of proof lie though, whether for the believers to actually proof that they will indeed die if they're killed (damn you Shirou), or if it's the PK-ers job to prove otherwise. We already have irl analogy of people not believing in afterlife, but even then they wouldn't go out of their way and kill themselves to prove that point.

Maybe I'd go insane before I even realised it...I think I'd go out and fight. Maybe I wouldn't go at the Front Line, maybe I would. It would all depend on how good I were doing. In many MMOs I play, that's how I act. I only go forward to another village / Bosses if I know I can face them, I rarely go into spots in which I know I won't be able to fight. Even if I was partying, I'd do just like Kirito. Stay at least 10 levels above the floor level. Just party - Get easy exp, and when everyone is sleeping, I can go out and farm. It isn't that hard, it just takes more time. First levels are always easy if you've played MMOs, so it would be easy to start. I'd just need to be more careful after each village, that's all it takes. I wouldn't go into spots that look like a trap ( Just like Black Cats' room in which they were trapped - It was kinda obvious...a treasure with no monsters at all? Come on.. ) |

But yeah, it's up to everyone's own interpretation. Just seems really odd. |

Well, anyway, I know that we've already discussed most of what can be discussed, but I think we're going pretty far afield of topics related directly to Episode 10. There are some other threads, like the "Real Life" thread or "Game Mechanics" thread that could use some love if we want to keep going down these roads.
