I understand that having your Operator move around offline requires you to battle without the use of chips for several turns. What I'm unsure about is other types of posts, where the Operator doesn't have to leave his PET.
Basically, I'm asking if an operator can post on a BBS or send Email during battle, or only outside of it?

Shop Actions are the main ones in which a Navi goes unoperated. Posting in the BBS, trading chips, or sending Email does not count towards unoperated status. Neither is moving from one location to another, as most PETs are wireless and/or EVERYWHERE can be plugged into. Seriously, you can plug into lamp poles or even your seat at the train station.

On that topic... unoperated status, in the sense of an operator having to step away from their PET, such as for a shop purchase:
I've read or heard some very slight conflicts there, and would like a quick clarification: on one hand, the implication I've seen is that, if your operator is away from their PET/the PET is not connected, then the Navi is absolutely brain-dead, in the sense that all their actions become dodges, and nothing else, automatically. But I've also seen implication that it's only the more realistic effect that anything that would originate from your operator, primarily chip usage, is debarred, and sans that, your navi is still able to function in a limited sense, under their own power, without guidance (i.e. with any actions that wouldn't require operator input to use).
Clarification?

A player's Navi goes un-operated whenever the link between the PET and the Navi is severed. Navis can exist without an operator, but they are severely handicapped, namely the lack of battlechips. If no one is on the other side to load the battlechip data, or if there isn't a connection to the battlechip input device (PET), then the Navi never gets the data.
PETs can take calls, surf the web, send emails, etc. while maintaining a connection with the Navi, as long as the PET remains connected to the jack in port. If you pull the jack out of the port, connectivity is severed and your Navi is now without an operator. For wireless/'bluetooth' PETs, they must stay in the broadcast range to stay connected.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't simply move anywhere you want and expect to remain connected. Yes there are a multitude of locations you can jack into, but you can't jump from network to network seamlessly. You have to disconnect, identify a new network, then connect to it. It's just like a wireless laptop, even if you have it set up to automatically connect to any available unsecured wireless network, there is a period where connectivity is lost.
When a Navi is un-operated, it cannot be given battlechips since those are stored only in the real world, not within a Navi's programming. They can move freely, and use their sig attacks and buster, but that's all. They are also incapable of jacking out as well, since they have no where to jack out to.
Rogan: The all-dodge thing is only really used whenever you're busting with another player, and he/she doesn't post for a long time. If that happens, the moderator 'skips' the player and moderates their navi as if he/she did nothing but dodge that turn.

Thank you both for your help. This will be very useful to me, and has finally laid to rest a great deal of confusion.

Thanks also. One ore question arises in my mind from that, though:
What happens in the case of a careless/callous operator, who leaves their navi to fend for itself for a few turns, and by ill luck or ineptitude, that navi is reduced to 0Hp while the connection is severed?

Ouch. I suspected as much, since it's what would logically happen... outright deletion of the navi and a warning to be more careful when you re-roll?
last edited by
Believe me, the warnings will likely happen before the Navi gets perma-deleted. You have to basically work towards having that happen, either by outright asking for your Navi to be deleted, or by repeated rule breaking/acts of stupidity.

If the PET were left jacked in (in your apartment, for example) while the operator was away, would EJO activate as usual?

After discussion in the chat, it has been determined that perma-deletion for a reasonable RPer is a massively jerkwad thing to do. So, they will only EJO no matter what, or some equivalent where you don't lose the Navi forever.

Yes, it is an autonomous emergency function that doesn't require commands from an operator.

I don't think we've ever perma-deleted a player Navi without their consent. The only thing I think that would warrant a perma-delete is inappropriate conduct from the players themselves, and I'm pretty sure we'd perma-ban the player instead if that ever happened, heh.

I'm not sure if this was ever asked, and even more, I kind of forgot after being away for so long: Was there or is there any way of Role-playing as a Solo NetNavi?
last edited by
Short and Simple answer: No, it's not allowed to have a solo NetNavi, it must have a human Opperator.
Long reason: Without a PET, you have no access to Battlechips, nor can you get upgrades. So you'd be stuck as level 0 with only signatures and buster attacks forever.

What if we were okay with being stuck at Lv0 with no BattleChips/NaviCust/Upgrades? Would it be allowed then? =3
Also wouldn't they still be able to use the Cross System kinda-sorta-technically?

While I would say:
Think about it, you'd be alone, all battle rewards would turn to dust, or have to be discarded, have no means to hold Zenny, no means to buy anything, or use them if you could. That includes the NCP, so no +50 hp or anything.
That said, even if you were ok with playing such a restricted character, it sort of goes against what the site and system was designed to do, so most likely you'd never get approved anyway.

((I figured this was the best place to ask this without making a new thread. Also, I couldn't seem to find it asked anywhere else, so I apologize if this question has been brought up/answered before.))
So I know you can't buy upgrades and stuff in the middle of a thread unless you leave your Navi unoperated. Similarly, you can't apply statistical changes until the current battle is resolved.
But do those rules apply to Appearance/Personality changes? I wanted to rewrite/elaborate my Operator's and Navi's Appearances/Personalities, but if it's going to affect the thread that I'm in right now, it can wait. If not, though, I'd certainly rather get it out of the way while it's on my mind.
