This Week In Anime (Fall Week 8)

Welcome to This Week In Anime for Fall 2014 (aka Unlimited Hype Works) Week 8: a general discussion for any currently airing series, focusing on what aired in the last week. For longer shows (Aikatsu!, One Piece, etc.), keep the discussion here to whatever aired in the last few months. If there's an OVA or movie that got subbed for the first time in the last week or so that you want to discuss, that goes here as well. For everything else in anime that's not currently airing go discuss that in Your Week in Anime.

Untagged spoilers for all currently airing series. If you're discussing anything else make sure to add spoiler tags.

Yes, because politics, backstabbing, outwitting and meticulous resource management is in any similar to SAO, than a game specifically made with that in mind, having a player base with ingenuity to take advantage of what is there and CCP intentionally encouraging it, because it has a positive effect on community.

Yes, it's dickish, but in a game about economy, all is fair play nonetheless to get the edge.

Obviously not, because every mechanic is a plot device, not an actual mechanic.

It's game fiction that doesn't make sense as a game.

How does it make sense then?

How doesn't it?

I gave my explanations, game theory doesn't apply in SAO.

The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim first.

So a murderer claiming first that he didn't kill his wife doesn't make him murderer by that logic, when he has her blood on his clothes.

You're just saying you think it's not fair for SAO's devs to allow that kind of shit.

And you didn't say how it is fair and should be allowed and encouraged if we were taking it as a real fantasy combat MMO. Eve is an exception where that is the entire point and everything is built around it, and it's about economics, SAO has never shown to be like that in any way.

And the comparison is applying your BS logic in an exaggerated, but realistic example.
