Do you think Kirito was just bs'ing about being the best player in the game? I mean, obviously, he said those things in order to negate the suspicions players were starting to have about one other, but I wonder if the fact that he was able to defend against the Wolf Lord's attacks was as he said it was? I was under the impression that because this game has no magic or class distinctions, it should be theoretically improbable to be more effective in one area of battle over someone else, yet Kirito manages to do just that(with the help of Asuna) by single-handedly parrying the Wolf Lord's attacks. Does this mean levels don't even matter, as long as you have the techniques(i.e. tactics, not "skills") to defend against the enemy?

a) He was bluffing to baffle the group b) He really did, and was acting that way to again, baffle the group Personally, I think that by his gulping swallow, he was nervously wondering if telling them he actually did it (went so high up) would work in getting them to back off. Not only this, but he never once thought about how it was going to be difficult ahead. Plus, he displayed excellent skills, so we can only assume he's adept and therefore has more experience. But what really makes me think he got up many floors was how he noticed the weapon type that the Wolf King switched to. I doubt any other enemies on the first floor sported a giant curved sword like the Wolf King did. Thus, he has seen it being used by enemies on much higher floors. I think that the boss (though he's big) was only parry-able because of a closeness in level. The skill probably works against certain "forces" or "strengths" in a ratio between the defender and attacker's level. The Wolf King's strength was within range for the skill to parry him.

Not really sure...he said he got up to 8F in a month, it doesn't really sound that great, but since the game floors are cleared on a global scale, if he's the one who killed the 7F boss, then there's no way anyone else was better than him.
What got me thinking was something else though: he just gathered a lot of hate and is walking around with a rare coat, won't that make him a very possible target for people with not-so-good intentions? |

EVen Kibaou only suggested item/money lynching from Betas instead of anything more heinous. In a regular MMO scenario, Kirito would probably be PK-ed there and then ( if PK is allowed.) But in a real life-and-death situation, how many would dare take the risk?

I'm wondering how is it even possible that no one can help them ? I mean, the should be a way to free the players like :
- dropping a EMP bomb to destroy all the electronic of the NervGear, - reroute the IP to a dummy server, - destroy the real server, - remove the battery of the NervGear (a little explosive there should help in worst case) then cut the electrical power ..... And like I said in Q&A thread, it's already possible to track someone on the web so 10 years in future it should be a piece of cake to locate the bad guy ! |

Also, electronics can be shielded from EMP - most are as a matter of fact, just to varying degrees. Quote:

Also, I'm going to assume that you're not actually familiar with explosives, but suffice to say that what you proposed is an extremely bad idea. If you're going to do that, you might as well just shoot them in the head with a gun, it'll be less messy. Yea, if the person doesn't care about being tracked.... it's not all that hard to keep yourself hidden online if you really want to. |

Moreover, by the time VR technology goes that far, I think we can safely assume a connection lost or power cut won't happen under normal condition. Even by now I can't remember when was the last time important hospitals in my country had power-outage. All in all, they can't (and probably don't want to) rush things and attempt anything that wasn't proven to be fail-safe. |

My point being : there is a good probability that some stayed in their room. And what if someone who had one of the 10'000 license didn't connect right away but one day later ? What if an employe of the society tried the game ? |

What if you just pulled the helmet off really fast?
Maybe place some lead padding in between the microwave delivery point and the user's head? Drown the person in water? Fire a gun at the battery compartment at the same time as you cut a wire? It'd be really easy to make a machine that times that near-perfectly.

You test the machine on a dummy. Obviously they have unused disconnected NervGear helmets lying around from the families who already removed them. You continue to test and test it multiple times, until you get a good success rate. It's just like a drug. They have warning labels, but people still use them. You take the chances that a generally successful product may cause harm, in hopes that you get cured.
At that point it becomes a parent's/family's choice. They're in a coma-like state, and they can either bet on their loved one beating the game (highly unlikely), or they use the method I described above. Then it's their responsibility, whether their loved one dies or not.
