Death Note Game

I agree with this.
It'd be pretty hectic, too.
2 Kiras, 2 Shinigamis, possibly 2 Mikamis.

Great ending as always, P.

 

So if it's a surprise thing, shall we have a hidden Shinigami too? I'm reluctant to do that, because being Shinigami takes a bit of practice, so randomly choosing a Shinigami is a bad idea, and if it were always Tikem, he'd just be accused first time to check.

 

I don't think I'd like that.

Anyway, I enjoyed being a Shinigami so much that I can't even think about moving back to being a detective, as much fun as it is.

Also, I believe that no Shinigami has killed so much people himself/herself during the course of one round.

Also, CtR did not kill everyone. Snow Villiers killed Revelry and I killed Bushido, Snow Villiers and CtR. FIX THAT RIGHT NOW! Or when you happen to be online.

 

This~
That was really fun. xD

If we are talking about making a couple of changes to this game we should have changes like this

 

I am so overly excited now about how well this round went.

With regards to the two Kira thing, I don't think it should be a constant thing, but a random thing.

I disagree with the Death Eraser thing, mostly because when someone is killed they are usually allowed to find out who killed them, bringing them back means they can accuse right off the bat and get the right hit.

Would you like me to post it in this thread so that every future Kira knows it too? <3

 

Yeah having two Kiras should be a random thing, toss a coin or whatever to decide if there will be, but there shouldn't be two from the start one should be introduced later with no announcement. Having two Shinigamis should be a constant and it should always be the same people regardless of if there are two or one Kira(s) and it is randomly decided which Shinigami posts the updates of accusations/deaths by tossing a coin or whatever. So to top it off:

Two Shinigamis = YES ALWAYS
Two Kiras = SOMETIMES

 

I dont think we should be able to choose how many kira's there are for each round, keeps the detectives on their feet.

And the death eraser thing sounds nice, since the dead people dont find out who their killers are until the very end anyhow.

Also posting to be in the next round.

 

I'm in next round <3

 

^This. As P and I live in completely different timezones, we have the potential to have near-24/7 updating.

 

Bushido was killed for accusing. It just so happened that the note came through for his death as I was writing it up, so I scrapped the original time and place for narrative purposes.

As you wish to be a Shinigami, and to be frank, none of the games I've run ever go well when you're playing, I think you should definitely remain a Shinigami, if only so you don't insta-K.O. every time.

Unexpectedly, people like the surprise, so I was wrong when I argued that they wouldn't like a second Kira/Shinigami flung upon them. Also, it appears that we want to keep the second Kira a surprise thing.

So if we take these two factors into account, it means that like Gobolo summed up, we've got two Shinigami always, and two Kira occasionally.

In that case, I propose the following model:

1. Shinigami 1 (me) uses a coin toss to decide if there will be a second Kira.
2a. If there is a second Kira, it is managed independently by the second Shinigami.
2b. If there is not a second Kira, Shnigami 1 uses another coin toss to decide which Shinigami will manage the Kira and the kills, and which will manage the accusations.

or possibly the next:

1. Shinigami 1 (me) uses a coin toss to decide if there will be a second Kira.
2a. If there is a second Kira, it is managed independently by the second Shinigami.
2b. If there is not a second Kira, the single Kira communicates with both Shinigami simultaneously, by sending any message to both of them. In a similar way, both Shinigami will send any reply they make to the other Shinigami as well, so both Shinigami are in equal contact with the Kira, providing a first-come, first serve environment.

I apologise for my pedantic nature, but I find co-managing the game difficult when I do not have all information. To put forward a specific example, last game, Tikem was unable to post a kill at the correct time, so instead sent the information to me, a perfectly reasonable decision. However the day of death was left out. It's possible that this was simply deduced from the time the PM was sent from CtR to him, but I did not have access to it. The person in question was Bushido, and while I was trying to make sense of the times, he accused Spaztic. We were then left with a choice of making his death twelve hours before he accused, as I suspect was intended, or making it twelve hours later, essentially dooming Spaztic when Spaztic shouldn't have been caught. A messy situation all round, and one I _really_ would rather not get into again, thus coming back to my desire to clearly define Shinigami duties.

Now as a final point of discussion: The Death Eraser. I vote we try it out for a game, making it a possibly gift to the detectives instead of a hint. For next game, it will be the default, and we will return to it for future discussion afterwards. While the dead do tend to have an idea as to who killed them, the hint that would instead be given would be far more damaging.

EDIT: Would you look at that. Tikem posts as I carry out my irritating habit of Wall of Texting. I take it from his post that he supports model 2, as that's the one where the single Kira communicates with both of us. (I disagree strongly with both Kira communicating with both of us interchangeably, because that becomes too much of a mess for my electric brain to handle.)

Oh yeah. It's 4AM here, so don't expect to see me awake for another 12 hours. :p

 

One question though, how do we decide whether the detectives get a hint or a Death Eraser?
A vote?


Oh and count me in.

 

I'm in for the next round. And I like option two better, Pika.

 

Ah good point P with your choices about who posts, I agree with you on the delegation as to one Shinagami manages acucations and the other deaths - both options when it comes to the conveying of deaths and accusations are better alternatives to random postings with no order to them.

Both have their flaws but both will work... Poll for final decision?

Oh and I'm in too

 

I'm in for next round I suppose.

 

Yay, I'm alive again but i'm in for next game so probably not for long.

 

Count me in.

 

Count me in as well.

 

Count me in for next round as well. ^^

 

Pika, you'll need to fix the name of the last round on the first page xD

Also, does anyone have a list of who is playing so far? I'm gonna try and keep a record throughout the next round. It is anyone who posts after the previous rounds conclusion is now a player for the next round, right?
