John A. Zoidberg Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Alright, so having just reread and rewatched Death Note, my fandom is at an all-time high. So, I propose this game (still more of an RP, but you know) that will involve a minimum of ten players, and a maximum of thirty (depending on the amount of applicants). Before I get into the plot, here are the rules/info of this RP[font=arial, sans-serif][size=2]. [size=5]You must read them, otherwise this WILL NOT work.[/size][/size][/font] [size=3][font=arial, sans-serif]1. All YCM rules apply, including Advanced Clause, etc.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]2. You must apply only if you are willing to be "L" (letter is your choice), Kira, a detective, or a second/third Kira.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]3. When you apply, do not give the name of your character. Instead, send the character's real name in a PM to me AFTER I accept you.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]4. After you've been accepted, I will PM you telling you the position your character will be playing (see rule #2 for a list of positions). As well, I will tell you your characters remaining lifespan (also randomly generated).[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]5. To the Kiras, all Death Note rules in the actual series apply.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]6. Light, L, etc. DO NOT exist in this. Think of this as another coming of Kira.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]7. Everyone can play two characters. The first is the character they apply for, the second is a newscaster who will report villains to be given heart-attacks as well as the deaths of other players WHOSE NAMES ARE KNOWN PUBLICLY TO THE RP. [/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]8. You CANNOT post freely. After I have whatever number of players I see fit, I will use a random number generator to give each person (myself included), a number. That will be the order in which you post. For example, say we have ten players. I get the number 1, person A gets the number 2, and person B gets the number 3, etc. I post first, person A can only post after me, person B can only post after person A, etc. If, however, your post is to be the newscaster announcing criminals/deaths, then you do get free posting, do not abuse that. Also, if you feel that when your turn comes around and you have nothing of value to post, simply post in the IC thread saying pass," and you will be skipped. Also, each time someone posts NOT as a newscaster, one day passes. This is important due to the lifespan of a player.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]9. Godmodding, Powerplaying, and Metagaming aren't necessarily forbidden, but heavily limited to ensure that everyone gets a fun experience.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]10. I will be playing THREE characters. Those three characters are a normal one like the rest of you, a newscaster like the rest of you, and a Shinigami, to ensure a truly Death Note feel.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]11. Do not share your characters' real name or position with any other player, as there is a chance that they are either Kira or "L," in which case you will be eliminated from the game. As well, try to not be obvious about who you are in the IC thread, we want this game to last long.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]12. If your character is killed, you can still post in this topic as a newscaster and a newscaster only.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]13. There is only ONE Death Note at the beginning of this game. Later in the game, I may add more for a second or third Kira, but I will be the only one playing a Shinigami.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]14. If you manage to figure out a character's real name through whatever circumstances the RP leads in, DO NOT post that name publicly. Instead, PM someone, anyone in the RP. If the person whose name you know ends up dying, we know who Kira is. However, depending on your position in the RP, you may or may not want to tell us who Kira is.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]15. There are a few ways to figure out a person's real name. If you are Kira and have made the deal, then you can simply see it, and at that point kill anybody in the RP who you would come into contact with naturally. If you are ANYONE, you can find out their name through conversation. For conversation, there will be a certain chance that the person will tell you their real name, that is calculated by me post on you and that person's interactions in the past. If, say, you and that person have had ten interactions, and only one was positive, there is a one in ten chance that they will tell you their real name. Other than that, the only way to find out is if the person just posts their real name.[/font]. [font=arial, sans-serif]16. These rules will be expanded on as the RP progresses. Apply now and have fun![/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]17. Even if you are Kira, you are NEVER to interact with the Shinigami directly. The Shinigami will interact with Kira, but refer to them only as Kira and give them advice. If you are Kira and you wish to make the eye deal, then PM me and it will happen.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]The plot is simple. Essentially, a repeat of the events of Death Note have started to occur. Due to that, there is a Kira, a detective (whose alias is up to them), and a team of other people, who will be split into police, detective's assistant (i.e. Watari), etc. The goal is to let the events of the RP unfold and see who wins. The RP will begin with Kira finding the notebook and deciding to use it for whatever goal he/she sees fit.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]App-[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Name (fake):[/font] Gender: [font=arial, sans-serif]Age:[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Bio(one paragraph minimum):[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Personality(one paragraph minimum):[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Appearance(picture or one paragraph minimum description):[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Preferred Role:[/font] Career (don't pick police unless I assign you to be a police officer): Once I decide we have enough players, we will begin. Remember, don't PM me with anything until I accept you![/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nope, happy now. Just use your discretion when accepting apps. Carry on~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkatsukiPride! Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Woah. This seems complicated. And fun. You must've taken some time to right up those rules. I think I'll reserve. I'll get around to making an app. Hopefully you'll have some more people apply/reserve. However, I don't think I'll actually right up the app until someone else applies/reserves. I don't want to work on it and see no one else joins this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListenToLife Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 So, do we post the app here? Or PM you. Because that's the only part that confuses me. I would presume here, but I'm unsure due to the information that can be given out, and certain aspects that can change depending on the position within the RP (Such as you mentioning the police in career option). Or would you give us a position, and then we make the app? Because that would be simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
