Seems more like some kind of notion to want to become a god or something. Yeah, that's pretty far-fetched in itself, but he seemed to revel in the fact that the lives of these 10000(?) players were in his hands.

I have been wondering why everyone hasn't already been removed from the game within a week of this starting. There are ways you can remove people from a system like this without worrying about failsafes killing the person.
The only real plausible explanation is that everything the guy said was a lie and no one has died and he is actually using the device to manipulate their sense of time so that they think they are in it the entire time but they actually are not. They will think that they are in the world for months or even years when in the outside world it had only been a few hours at most. Everyone not in the game or has left the game will be locked out so that the people in the game won't know the truth. PS. The whole reason to have a game where everyone thinks they will really die is to make it feel real. Making it so you feel like you are truly a part of the game which if you didn't feel mortality then you would never feel that.

The problem with that is that the way it kills is by using microwaves to fry a persons brain which means if there is no power then it can't kill. You could just use an electromagnetic pulse to disable it and prevent it from frying a persons brain.

The only 100% safe way of diffusing a bomb/mine/IED or whatever explosive devices, is to detonate them in place. |

And no I don't have any illusion on how EOD team work in real life, I don't watch CSI. Just speaking as an electronics engineer by trade. |

Disarming it person by person wouldn't work, he'll just kill everyone else who is still connected to the system (once he gets wind of the scheme). |

How would they remove the battery without setting off the alarms in the device? I mean Kayaba did design the things. Isn't it possible that he originally had a ton of safeguards / failsafes / other things in them that the people testing them had no idea about. So when they tested them every way possible they never found any potential problems but then installing SAO set off a change in the machine to turn off all of them, thus making them deadly? Well that's always what I assumed happened.

And when it comes to testing unless you know to test for something you don't really test for them. Especially when the dude changed things after the beta. |

The first ep didn't say he was the founder, just the guy who invented the tech. SO I was thinking under the assumption that he was just a high level researcher.
Anyway, sometimes you just need to have a Willing Suspension of Disbelief. As an electronics design engineer by trade I nitpick SF a lot. But should one let that impede their enjoyment of the story? Not in the least. Debating what if's is fun and all but one needs to remember that they are all just plot contrivances to drive the story and move on when appropriate. At least they have to decency to try have some explanations. Much better compared to Muv-Luv which has swiss cheese level holes in its settings. |
