How many of you people actually know how to use a computer? Or even a smartphone? A tablet?
How many of you even know what they are?
If not, do you want lessons?

they might be similar though i've found their workings past a certain point as being far too different. the same between a tablet and a convertible laptop. they may start out the same but there are a few differences between the two.
the problem with real battlefield experiences is the injury rate of the inexperienced and the fact that we aren't some kind of army, and barely even fighters for the most part. the same can be said for a live training, especially if you are proposing of luring those ayakashi here to test various skills. i'm pretty certain that can't be done and if it is, we'll be suffering more. however there are a few programs that are geared to giving a virtual experience without the added injuries outside of a loss of points.

It's still possible to stagger live experience. Throwing people into the deep end isn't what I'm suggesting, and there's no point to luring ayakashi here if people can either go to the other shore and start with smaller ones or tag along with more experienced fighters without endangering this place. Besides, if there's a virtual system for that sort of thing in existence here, nobody's mentioned it at all. If there was and it was realistic enough, it could work as a supplement, at least, but something on that scale would be more than just a portable game.

nobody probably thought about it. a system like that would need a lot of controlling computers to act as mainframes and several people to keep it running smoothly. as it is the training and information on what we're suppose to do is shit with a fair number of the more experienced people acting like anyone coming into this needs to swim fast or sink.

Explains this post, then. If an 800 year old can learn this, nobody else has any excuse.
There's similar systems in the world I came from. I agree it would need a lot of mainframes and staff, and I doubt we have enough people familiar with those sorts of systems to make building one not a waste of time.
Usually I'd be on the side of the people saying swim fast or sink, but there's plenty of us here. There's no reason people can't team up with or learn from each other.

yes, which is why i am suggesting games that can at least give people a better understand of where to start and what it all means. of course, you can't force them to actually do anything after offering it, but at least it will be there
no reason unless people decide to act that they cannot because of some kind of stupidity about pantheon rivalries.
no subject
...Are you seriously telling me there are people throwing around pantheon rivalries when they haven't even been gods for more than a month or so?
no subject
there does seem to be a lack of cooperation among the various groups, though that could also be because we're stretched out so much over the Far Shore

It is a big place, but none of the gods seem to have any trouble getting around. Distance isn't much of an excuse.
no subject
i suppose not
oh well, humans or gods, they always find something to conflict against.
no subject
I can hardly argue with that, as ridiculous as it is to manufacture internal conflicts when this place already gives us plenty to fight.
