I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes I think some people are actually searching for things they can comment negatively about, because come on, this is meant as a GAME not as a death-trap. Even if the bug was found in the beta test, as LyricalAura already stated it would be a low priority bug and would be most likely patched away after some players would find and "rage" about it. Maybe it even would have never been found, I mean who would sleep ingame, apart from some hardcore gamers ofc. |

Pretty cool, I didn't expect a murder mystery from this anime. It's a pretty good one too but I'll share my thoughts:
From episode 1, it seems the game master is able to alter the game data on the fly, so that'd allow for fixing bugs and exploits, maybe even rolling back the game or individual players. It's also established the game is meant to challenge the players. So game-breaking bugs would be hotfixed. It then follows that the method being used to PK people in this episode is considered legitimate by the game master. The killings are rather strange though...the second one couldn't have been a backstab so the weapon was thrown? Maybe by throwing from outside the safe zone you can get around the PK restrictions. But what about the first kill? There was apparently a person standing behind Kains. Yet he's impaled from the front. An accomplice hung him from the clock tower and the PKer threw the weapon from outside town, then?

- It doesn't matter. The problem with sleep-PK or sleep-anything is that they can operate your menu. As if they broke and entered your home while you're AFK so they can manipulate your character. There's no counter to that except not sleeping where people can reach you, or having trustworthy people guard you. Quote:
- more importantly, if you're going to assume they have some "secret technology" that can do anything, why not assume they have a "log out everyone without killing them" button, but have refuse to push it because of bureaucratic inertia? In fact, thinking about it, spoofing a completion signal to the NervGears to trigger the release sounds much, much easier than creating hundreds of accounts for a system on a powerful computer that is rigged not to accept any more. But "easier" isn't the same as "doable". Last edited by Anh_Minh; 2012-08-06 at 15:00. |

The game is made like that. Characters can only see their own menus unless they intentionally change the settings. The anime doesn't show it though. You'll note that the anime goes into "character vision" sometimes where it shows the target markers and such. So the rest of the time we're in some kind of weird 3rd person view which honestly doesn't make any sense given the premise.

Yes, he's trying to hide his level from his guild... but he's not insisting she sleep elsewhere. So obviously he's highly comfortable with her. Odds he got careless at least ONCE would be very high. |

And yay! Asuna's back!!! Although I thought her re-entrance into the plot was kinda dull: her and Kirito arguing at a gathering as if that's how it has always been

But I also understand Kirito does take too many chances which might align with his suicidal tendencies a few episodes ago...I'm just a bit skeptical about having the option for other people see your menus. With sleep-pkers on the loose, the option would always be flipped to "never allow other players to see my menu" and there would be no reason to change it from this setting. |

Hmm, am I a bad person, if I remember that rather long ass shot the most from this episode?
Anyhow, episode was alright. Beginning felt kinda jarring, and then the ending sorta made me laugh. But at least the interactions between Kirito and Asuna are nice, and bring the story a bit on track from its meandering state. Also, townkilling sux.

And i think the danger of 10 000 people getting cancer is still more acceptable than several thousand dying for the sake of some sick guys amusement. Quote:

- You start a duel inside the city and lead the person outside druing the fight (-> logic) - You carry a sleeping/unconcious person outside the safe zone and do the Sleep PK (-> logic) So yes throwing from outside COULD be possible, but I highly doubt that the guy could have one hitted her. I actually expect to see her again or find out that she comitted suicide. You have to think of this crime from a character perspective - The Kunai was stuck in her back and the characters only heard it she could have easily wounded herself. The next strange thing is: Why the hell did she turn around so they could see it? that doesn't make any sense. Not to speak about her technically being one hitted, its actually imho more likely that she died from the fall than the Kunai. So I assume she has a 'Fake death' ability. Moreover if you

Sure, it sounds like a brilliant idea to run a strong electromagnetic pulse through a device that is able to produce microwaves strong enough to cook a brain in fractions of a second, cause that is sure not to cook any brains.

Considering that the device itself emits microwaves, so is it a good idea that it's not as sensitive against EMP as most electronic equipment as then it would risk failing from normal use. And while EMP does fry electronics, so doesn't it do that in a safe way. Consider the static feedback you get from turning on a mobile phone near some speakers and turn that up a million. I wouldn't consider it a safe thing to EMP some complicated electronics connected to someones head.
Then there are the issue of users. Do you plan to simultaneously fry around 6000 people at the same time? Where will you get that number of EMP devices? What do you think would happen to the ones you can't get to at the same time? I find it somewhat amusing that people desperatly try and find plot holes in a story that is fairly consistent and well thought out, when there are plenty of stories where you can drive a buss through any hole you want. |
