Sword Art Online II (TV).

Ok, the bullet spoiler[wrecked her sights (that part made me lol), but did it destroy her gun too? If so, how? And does she still have a handgun (doesn't Kirito also have one)? Anyway, I'm betting she goes after Dark Wind's gun and comes to his rescue. At least I'm hoping she does something besides watch in horror from her hidey hole.]

Sometimes I get frustrated too easily and when that happens I post in an irritated mode that is out of whack with what annoyed me in the first place.

Anyway, not bad eppie. Agree the first chunk dragged on a bit.

I have a question for those familiar with the source material - what happened to the 10 Laughing Coffin survivors? Were they ever charged with anything? It presents kind of an interesting legal question: since nobody in the game really knew for sure that dying in-game = dying IRL, I'm guessing they could not be charged with murder.

Also, what does it matter if Kirito cannot remember Sterben's real name? Presumably, the authorities know who the ten survivors are, so wouldn't it be a simple matter of checking that list against Sterben's real name?

It beggars the imagination that the authorities would be virile enough to assign special investigators and departments to cleaning up SAO yet not have access to a full list of players both deceased, living, innocent or criminal. This is less plausible than the fiction-science behind the total immersion headgear.

They don't need to get access to GGO. The names of the laughing coffin members would be in SAO data, which I assume was thoroughly studied. I thought it was too many for the government to go out checking on each one, but if it's only ten, I don't see why that would be a problem.

I've also been wondering what people have been thinking about the obvious teamwork of Kirito and Sinon and wondering why no one has cried foul about that yet. From an outsider's pov, it looks like they just banded together to defeat everyone else and will then flip a coin to decide which one of them wins, making a mockery of the whole tournament.

Really? In the contemporary real world we have made a lot of progress with regard to making it a crime for cyber-bullying and stalking. It is an online activity that has real-life consequences. So even under our laws today the red players could be charged with something, I'm sure.

Maybe, but even with cyber-bullying they need chatlogs and stuff. All the log data for SAO was wiped.

So far as I know, there's nothing in the rules to prevent cooperation.

I know that, but I was talking about people's attitudes toward them as players. Not that that matters to Kirito, but it would have to Sinon before things turned to crap for her.

Lots of things are possible and not against the rules of many games (PKing for instance), but they violate the spirit of the game and people stop wanting to play with you if you do them. Bullet of Bullets is supposed to be a one-on-one tournament to determine the best, so teaming up, while not a violation of the rules, seems like something that would be frowned on in the community.

The story isn't about that though, so it was just something I was thinking about.
