Potential SAO Power Upgrade

[CurrySenpai]

I suppose that we can wait until tomorrow or the day after that. Somebody should preferably remind me to close this thread after that.

Sounds good. Also the 7-B calc may not be usable anymore. I heard somewhere that you can calculate watts from joules and seconds, but you can't convert joules to watts, since joule and watt units represent different quantities although a calc team member can probably correct me on that.

 

[Joycap]

The whole Reki statement thing feels like him trying to satisfy us power scalers so we can finally shut up.

That's a point: does Reki seem like the kind of guy who is opinionated on Scaling / VS?

 

[RitsuØ1]

now to be fair im not denying your provided translations. i talked to arc about this a while back and asked about checking the books as well. Hes been very busy with school. If he cannot provide a translation check then sure i would yours would be the one to go with.

I suppose that we can wait until tomorrow or the day after that. Somebody should preferably remind me to close this thread after that.

Can this wait til' this weekend? I asked Arc, and he said he should be able to get it this weekend.

 

[The_Pink_God]

Hmmm
Seeing through this I think the OP here makes sense, Imma agree with him for now till something changes my mind

Lemme fact check that, if I recall you can use a watt value for Joules so long as your feat was done in 1 second, and if not, convert it to one second for a lower or higher result

 

[Smashtwig]

Looking through the calc again, it seems like using Watts is completely fine. We count AP as how much you can output (in this case absorb) in one "instance", not over time. From what I understand, an "instance" to us is typically 1 Second, so the calc's fine to be used in that regard

What I'm worried about the calc and (excuse me DMUA for having the audacity to challenge your math), is that he absorbed for 40 seconds... so did he do that after he absorbed the sun's luminosity (at least across the underworld) within the first second? And if it's done in 40 seconds, wouldn't that be dividing the result by 40 instead of multiplying? Maybe there's context I'm missing that let's him use up all 40 seconds worth of absorbing at once or smth

 

[SomebodyData]

Neutral but overall @Kaantantr makes the most sense tbh

I also need to ask how these tweets were obtained. VSB prohibits the unsolicited messaging of creators (last time I checked) for fishing for feats- while we still use the tweets, such actions are bannable since it could potentially lead to mass inconveniences for writers.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, it is not bannable unless it is done in a malicious, overzealous, or highly manipulative manner, but we heavily discourage it.

Also, thank you for helping out. It is appreciated.

tell that to the instant death fan who was asking the author to upgrade yogiri on vs battle wiki to tier 0
he posted that in response the author posting photos of food the poor man wants to eat

Wait what? When did this happen?

(DM/convo if irrelevant)

Idk how they were acquired all I can assume is that a fan asked these questions but idk who or why.

 

[SomebodyData]

Yeah, that's uh, what we're trying to avoid

 

[RitsuØ1]

Umm... So what's the conclusion so far? Upgraded with a possibility at most, or no upgrade at all? Still waiting for Arc to respond so Cyber can give his full input.

 

[Nierre]

LMAOOOOOO

 

[Antvasima]

I am still neutral, but I think Kaantanr is starting to make more sense also. Perhaps, @SomebodyData could give his inputs since he is listed as a verse supporter.

I agree more with Kaantantr's stance here after reading everything up until now.

Neutral but overall @Kaantantr makes the most sense tbh

Anyway, given the evaluations that I quoted above, should we close this thread?

 

[Antvasima]

That does seem extreme enough to be bannable, yes.

 

[RitsuØ1]

2 Neutrals & 1 Disagreement from what you quoted above…

Can this wait til' this weekend? I asked Arc, and he said he should be able to get it this weekend.

…

 

[Kaantantr]

Agreements are not going to change the claims that are clashing with the fundamentals of the world.

Also, Weekend is pretty much over for most of the world and is ending in a couple hours for the rest.

You mind giving me a bit more to get to the translation I was asked for? I've been rather swamped with prepping to move out of my town house atm, which is what is holding me up here. A little wait shouldn't be an issue, better to resolve it all now, than the same topic getting rehashed when I finally get to translating here soon.

Okay. No problem.

Can you estimate an approximate time schedule?

 

[Arc7Kuroi]

Okay. No problem.

Can you estimate an approximate time schedule?

The absolute latest is tomorrow night (~24 hours tops)

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That is obviously no problem.

 

[Xmark12]

So, it's Thursday. How's progress?

 

[CurrySenpai]

I am curious as well.

So, it's Thursday. How's progress?

 

[Kaantantr]

Assuming someone is reading 10 volumes of a Light Novel to validate the usage of a single word in a two sentence tweet, I'd imagine not very far.

For reference, there was never anything wrong with the translation and everyone who read the books without turning their mind off should know how Incarnation functions to understand what is being said.

[Arc7Kuroi]

@Arc7Kuroi

Did it not get posted? I gave my translation to Cyber’s friend thinking he’d post it here. Sorry about that, lemme find it.

 

[Arc7Kuroi]

Lol I figured they’d post it when I did it 3 days ago, but here it is. Unfollowing, ping me if there’s any questions about my translation.

 

[Majinere566]

Sorry to derail but how did you translate that?

 

[Kaantantr]

Oh... Thanks for your efforts. Sorry, I just wasn't expecting that you were asked for the exact same translation we had gotten from the official translation, from the old fan translator with added clarifications, from the current fan translator, as well as multiple times this excerpt from v18 Prologue III was requested for translation from the volunteers here on VS Wiki.

I think that pretty much covers the fact that this thread should be closed.

@Kaantantr

Would it be a good idea to write a discussion rule for SAO or some kind of information footnote in Kirito's page based on this?

 

[Kaantantr]

Sure, can have a look during the weekend. Is it possible for you to provide an example of how such footnotes are supposed to be so I can do something that fits the overall format?

I believe Cyber will give input soon as he mentioned this above..:

[Joycap]

Hang on a mo... why are we using a debunk of an implied 3-A Kirito (of which Skybox should have been the end all for that particular debate) as grounds to close a thread about a suggested 6-B Kirito?

 

[Kaantantr]

We are not. We were waiting for additional input. The additional input is either not coming or is irrelevant depending on the people being waited on, so there's not much point to keep things open. Not surprised, as there is no grounds for an upgrade.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, here is a page that uses footnotes, for example:

Hulk (Marvel Comics)

The Hulk is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962). Throughout his comic book appearances, the Hulk is portrayed as a large green humanoid...
