Following this notice are the events that have been deleted from the Death Note RP. These posts have been recorded for general future reference for any and all RPs on this website and the horrendous havoc it can wreak on the perpetrators of our official RP laws AND the other site members!

Naught Life (Chaos) wrote : Rules for the RP. YOU MUST READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING MORE!!!!!!!!!! 1. No God-moding, meaning you cannot control other character’s actions and thoughts unless with consent.  You cannot also know what they are thinking and not all actions are known to you either. Like Kieran wasn’t watching Christian in the restaurant the whole time so he cannot possible say that he’s talking to himself and if someone is there.   Even if you are a psychic in the RP you cannot know every event that takes place.  You might as person know what really happens but your character does not.   2. Can compromise, but must be realistic and detail oriented. Any information on the RP is based out of other people’s post. 3. REMEMBER: NEAR WILL NEVER TELL ANY INFORMATION REGARDING ABOUT THE KIRA CASE NOR THE DEATH NOTE  TO CIVILIANS INCLUDING THE KIDS IN WAMMY’S HOUSE. You can say he alluded on the case but he did not directly tell anyone about it.  I’m sure he’s only going to say or give a little bit information if a new case arises and it’s only going to be to certain few.   4. Cannot come to direct conclusion that a person is Kira because it is not realistic and logical.  It’s been 3 years since the Kira case and also, barely anyone knows about the details.  The only time you can conclude that someone is Kira if mass evidence is supported which is through people’s post and your assumptions cannot be always correct. For example you might have heard more about the Kira case that are not true. You cannot say that Christian is Kira just because he has a weird looking notebook because normally you’d just think it’s a notebook nothing more.  Also, if he is jumpy or in panic you come to logical reason not unsounded reasoning like he witnessed Kioko’s death in the room and was very terrified, that’s a logical reasoning for his jumpiness not because he killed someone since she died in a heart attack and was across the room.  You wouldn’t really think that people just die right before your eyes so you get scared of course.   5. The only realistic for civilians to get involve in the Kira case is investigating on their own in pure curiosity about the death in the college. You should think that Kioko’s death was very unusual because she was healthy and young. 6. YOUR CHARACTERS CANNOT BE SMARTER THAN L, NEAR AND LIGHT. They could be as intelligent but they cannot come up with unreasonable conclusion. Even L did not directly say that Light is Kira, he investigated him.  Also the case took around 6 years to solve the Kira case. 7. This is more of a story that we are co-writing instead of an RP. Completely free and open role play. 8. If you want something to happened or suggest about the story you must ask everyone if they agree or we could we could vote and the majority wins.  But if it’s totally unrealistic, then we will refuse your request.  PLEASE DON’T JUST DECIDE ON FOR YOUR SELF. GET EVERYBODY INVOLVE. 9. They only get the information about the Death Note through hard and long investigations.  We don’t want this to be rushed and to end early. Please try your hardest to write the best you can. 10. Every post must be in first person.  You cannot put parenthesis inside your post to tell your actions or thoughts must all be written for example: Rather than writing this:  He went inside (look out of the window) Do this:       I went inside and looked out of the window. You can put parenthesis if you have a personal message for everybody and it has to be on the top or the bottom of the post and it is out of character.   11. Edit your post before you write anything new and make sure it abides by the rules.  This will make it more smoothly and will not create complications on the RP. 12. LAST BUT REALLY IMPORTANT: IF YOU FAILED OR YOU REFUSE TO OBEY THE ADMINISTRATORS’ RULES, THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES: 1. Your character will be killed off. The only way for you to re-enter the RP is to create a character but only if you followed the rules. 2. 7 day or a week blocked until you cooperate. 3. If this is remains as an issue you will be band from the site until further notice. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE PLEASE CONTACT THE ADMINISTRATORS (EITHER CHAOS, ITAMI, OR CHERIKO) Please don’t make a scene on the public board if you have an issue. We will listen to you so you don’t have to worry about us ignoring your problem.   We just want the RP to be fun for everyone in certain boundaries.  We apologize for not putting this up earlier because we did not think this is a big issue until certain events. NOTE TO TAKUMI: This is what Itami and I came up with on how to get us, the police,  involve in the case. • During the chase, your character is still in panicked • You recognize a college classmate that you’re actually acquainted with and he approaches you. • You are in panic and kill him but your still looking for Kieran. • He sees Kieran in the crowd and writes his name that’s on the credit card on the Death Note. • In your post Ryuk already told you that you can write the different cause of death of a person other than heart attack. You can use this as a flashback before killing Kieran or while running in the towards the subway. • Kieran dies by getting hit by a subway car. PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT KIRA/CHRISTIAN, EVERYTHING MUST BE IN MYSTERY.  YOU CAN ONLY COME UP WITH ANSWERS ON YOUR OWN IF IT’S REASONABLE AND IF YOU COLLABORATED WITH OTHER CHARACTERS.  For example, the police, the group or the Kira supporter.  This is the reason for the RP to get everyone involve. TO MODROCKER45: It’s not that we don’t agree about your character it’s just that your reasoning are completely unreasonable.  We know that you want to posses the Death Note/ want to be Kira because Takumi is not active everyday.  Please edit your post and follow the rules, that's all we are asking. Please and thank you. TO DEATHANGEL: It’s not that we are not in your case also. I actually also agree with Modrocker on what he said.   Both are at fault in this case but we are not going to put such a big deal if you change your posts and please follow the rules.  The reason for this is that we want to make the RP something we could all be proud of.  We are all in this together so please make this fun for everyone and please don’t get mad at us for managing this site and this RP. We just want you to cooperate. We have guidelines for you follow immediately after this post. Thank you for your cooperation and please understand our reasonings.

Plus, why aren't you on E's case he's solving things WAY WAY too fast, this was like his second post before he found out all the details of what is going on, My character isn't trying to solve any cases he WANTS the death note, he's power hungary.]   [Plus, awhile back Rev tried to take the note book not out of suspicion but curiosity because he's a crook, he steals things, when he touched the note book he saw ryuk, for some reason that WHOLE post was ignored, this is the reason for him suspecting christian but maybe i didn't state that, but also in death note if you aren't smart in using it you WILL be found out very quickly, example: Higuchi wasn't smart with the death note and i believe he was found out i believe on THAT volume! I edited it so it wasn't near it was Roger, he knew vague details about the kira case and Rev had a gun to his head, Read my edited post! ]

Naught Life (Chaos) wrote : ((That wasn't the case. Your character is perfectly fine. You can be power hungry all you want and you can try to get the death note all you want but what we are saying is that you can't get the Death Note out of Christian's hands because he is not your character and you can't kill him off either. It's all Takumi's decision. You haven't given him a shot yet. We haven't gone that far yet. this is ony  the beginning of the beginning of the first chapter.  Of course there will be changes. Takumi might not be online most of the time that's is why we can't really progress on the RP that much but he has an important role in here.   The question is... how is possible that your character is in his right mind to understand what's going on surounding him when he is drunk? Or did you specifically said that he has some kind of ability to be concious about everything even if he's drunk.  Also these post: One1 Two2 Three3 Thes is very ilogical and unreasonable post... (I'll get in DeathAngel's Case later also so don't think it's all in u) I’ll explain why, and this is only in my case Itami and Cheriko might say something else. 1. This is after you asked Kieran about the death in the campus and lamely concluded that he was lying when he said he doesn’t know anything about it just because he shifted his eyes then you directly suspected Christian… for what reason? He looked suspicious like what? Is it because he was jumpy and anxious? Well this would be the logical reason or action first. You’d go up to him and ask him if he study in the campus.  If he said yes then ask him about the death in the campus.  Of course he’ll say I was there and it was terrifying… that would explain the reasoning why he was jumpy and anxious.  That would be a very reasonable thought. Now we all know that he was jumpy because he just killed someone by accident but you don’t conclude that he’s the one who killed her if you haven’t personally checked the campus and investigate the Kioko.  Normally, you’d want to know why she died. Investigate her first.  Ask about her health.  Does she have any heart problems? You’d usually think if a person died in a heart attack that person might have a heart problem rather than saying “OMG KIRA IS BACK!!” or “KIRA WAS BEHIND THIS!” You’ve got to investigate first and in this case you didn’t and smartly (but dumbly) assumed he know’s something about the how she died.   Also, You’ve seen many notebooks that covered in black. I know you’ve heard something about the Death Note from Roger.  Although… does roger knows the appearance of the Death Note? That we cannot say.  The Death Note in his mind might be red and it could be black but not for sure.  You might picture the notebook as a normal notebook therefore you really can’t isolate it.. And it is normal that you’d get curious about the notebook since you haven’t seen the looks of it anywhere else before but not suspicious.  The smart question for Christian would be “Hey I haven’t seen that kind of notebook before.  Is that use in this restaurant?” not go and ask if you can hold it.  You’ve got to understand that there are rules in many business.  And surely, one of them might be “You can’t let customers hold or see the business/or-whatever-they-call-it notebook.” Businesses have competitions.  They wouldn’t want to go around and giving the other group taste of what they are tasting.  So when he said “Those are checks sir and I can’t show you that.” You’d usually conclude about the business.  If your insistent you’d go to other waitress and investigate more about the notebook if what kinda notebook they use for their checks and if you could glance at another copy of the notebook to make sure.  You’d usually do something like that.   2. THIS IS VERY RUSH!!!  You didn’t even explain how you got to touch it.  NORMALLY, you wouldn’t go and insist after saying that you can’t. Well this could be understandable if your character is that drunk but your character is very conscious about what’s going on that you even started suspecting, that you wouldn’t normally do that.  You did see Ryuk, and you did freak out there. People were staring at you. USUALLY, somebody would go up to you and ask what’s the problem.  You wouldn’t really assume that by touching the notebook you’re going to see something.  Roger might know vague about the notebook but I’m sure he wouldn’t know about the Shinigami.  You’re drunk, you’d usually ask people if that was a what? A mascot or something. But what I meant is that why would you conclude that it was part of the notebook? Also… now that you have seen him this goes to number 3. 3. YOU WOULDN’T RUN AWAY!!!! You’re still talking to ryuk weren’t you?  Ryuk is a pretty scary guy especially if you’d only seen him once but come on you wouldn’t just leave your mind off something you’ve never seen before just like that and follow Christian on the way.  It’s not that your post is ignored, Kioko hasn’t been on also since she’s probably pretty busy at school that she can’t reply you then but you can’t just leave your thoughts away after seeing the shinigami and go back to the waiter.  I mean It probably could work that you can completely delete your other post where you saw ryuk.   Now the question is WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT HE WAS KIRA AND THAT WAS THE DEATH NOTE? Also, you were god-moding… ARGH. Need to go now but I’m not done yet… there’s more.

Modrocker45 wrote : Well, i'm just guessing since the note book says DEATH NOTE on it, it's probably not a book filled with checks, and i did state earlier i wasn't drunk, i was ACTING drunk to get information out of people, because people don't think a drunk guy will remember any info given to him, and as for the whole thing with Kieran, i'm suspecting he's lying because he go's to that school, and oh....MAYBE HE'S WEARING THE UNIFORM! It's obvious that anyone who goes to that school knows about it because gossip spreads fast, So i just basically proved most of the points you were bashing were logical, also i wasn't god-moding because i wasn't controlling anyone, and i wasn't making up things that could never happen in 1 million years so how was i god moding?

kioko wrote : (But your proofs themselves are illogical. For one, the death had happened only a few hours before. How in the hell did your character, who doesn't go to the school, know about it so quickly? Sure, maybe they had had a report about it on the news--Ami's mother had known about the death (to her, it was just a freak incident). Even then, how would he know the details of the murder and from them, how would he be able to make the decision that it was Kira? How could he, as a regular citizen, know anything about Kira? Even if he had been a supporter as Ami had been, all of their ideas were just guesses. Moving along to the diner: How could he know that Christian went to the school if he was wearing his work uniform? Even if your character would make the assumption that Christian was part of the school (an assumption that could only be made by Christian's young age), how could he be sure that Christian would know anything? It's doubtful that the school would release all the details when they closed the school: the death of such a young girl would spread panic among students. And as for the gossip vine, chances are slim that Christian would be able to get the correct information; things such as that are often thrown way out of proportion, especially when it's being told by a bunch of bored college students. Furthermore, how would your character pick up on such a tiny detail as the title on the notebook? If Christian was being paranoid, chances are he would try to hide that sort of thing, so there would be a very small chance that he would see anything more than a few random letters, and Ryuk's scribbling isn't the type that could be deciphered so easily. If your character was as smart as you claim he is, then why would he chance being thrown out when he thinks he's so near Kira? Your character was assaulting a worker in a private place: the boss would've thrown you out (that's what normally happens to drunks, real or fake). After touching the notebook and seeing Ryuk, how can your character still be able to process his thoughts well enough to assume it had to do with the notebook? Most human beings would be in too much panic to do anything but run. And yet he is able to automatically come to the conclusion that Christian is the new Kira and even comes up with a plan to fool him. Now why would Christian listen to a word he says? The fact that your character is able to bypass all of these things means that your character must be above the limits of a human being. This is considered god moding. Now, maybe I'm just missing something here: maybe there's an answer to all of this. The problem is that it is impossible to understand anything you're writing. The grammatical errors and pacing of a story written by a second grader ("I have a kitty my kitty is named Fred my kitty bit me and then I had fish sticks. I like fish sticks and then my mommy went to the store. . .") requires the rest of us to reread your posts in order to make any sense of it: for the most part, I prefer to skip it altogether. I could overlook it in your character's speech (even though your character thought the same way that he spoke), but there's only so much I can take. And I'm not trying to say that we are kings of grammar, either (as none of us have degrees in English, a certain level of error is expected--read the Naruto rp on Itami's site for proof of how bad I can get), so don't try to say that I'm being hypocritical. Chaos is right: I have been busy with school, but that isn't the reason why I haven't posted. The reason is that whenever I even go onto this rp I can't read anything without becoming agitated. I don't know how to respond to any of it; all I can do is throw my hands up in the air and hope that someone else will find a way to post that I can build something off of. I doubt I'm the only one who finds it tedious either. All it's leading to is the death of this rp. So congratulations: your character is the god of a dying story.)

Modrocker45 wrote : Wow! Please Warn us before you open a big bag o freak out on us, My character speaks in grammatical error because he's from britain he speaks in a Cockney accent, no one seems to realize this takes place in the u.k. so there will be slang and accents, i also STRESS the fact that my character simply suspects that christian is kira, i seem to remember that L practically accused light of being kira almost as soon as he showed up, And christian is NO light, therefore you wouldn't even have to be from wammy's house to assume he has some connection to kira, or he is kira, And my character also isn't just some normal civilian, i've also stated that he is part of a gang, he can use connections to find out information, now if you all don't mind i think this mindless bickering is getting us NO WHERE fast, so.... and this is just a suggestion mind you, maybe we should get back to typing the story instead of filling this page full of rubbish, If you have any more problems with anyone i suggest you p.m. the problem to the person you have it with and you can discuss it privately, instead of filling the whole topic with flame and spam, That goes for me as well, I hope this fixes the problem for now...

I DO understand your argument Modrocker, but please realize that we wouldn't make these rules unless you were doing something that would end the story. Fast. Believe it or not, Takumi is doing an EXTREMELY good job of creating his character and his character's personality, to build up tension until he finally...um, gets what he can do via the notebook. The only problem is that he's not on all the time, but thats alright. I'll just force him to post! (evil grin) However, as we've stressed, your character was making incredibly retarded assumptions and it just needs to stop. Please follow our rules or you'll be punished. If you want to know what these punishments are, please refer back to (guess what?) the rules. I really think this RP can be really fun, but we have to make it WORK. Right now, your character is causing the plot line to go to a standstill. That is the ENTIRE reason for our argument. It is NOT flame or spam, as it was made by the Administrators for the sake of the RP. Thank you.))

Modrocker45 wrote : See that! Right there, you are starting this argument up AGAIN! I just tried to end it! Also if you haven't noticed i read the rules A LONG time ago, and i had edited my posts, can we just continue please? Is there any reason to continue arguing, and by the way just because you are an admin does not mean you are exempt from spamming or flaming, anyone can do that, Also i've been following all the rules, i even tried stopping the argument, but you guys can't stand not having the last word correct? This whole thread is going to end up wasted, I'm asking you to please come to your senses, you have been on this forum longer than i have don't you think you should be the voice of reason? Just please continue the Role play, this will work itself out, did you not read that my character is now conversing with death angel, and is not paying any attention to christian AT ALL, These past 5 ot 6 posts were worthless if you'd only READ the posts to understand that this is slowing up, Also if christian gets caught that doesn't have to be the end, it could start a new kira, any hoo, i hope you get back to posting and stop being so thick-headed, because, no offense, this bickering is driving people away from this forum. So sincerely, just get back to the story line, because it's obvious that both me, kioko, and cheriko are very stubborn and  i'd really like to stop filling this thread with arguments, and start filling it with story, but of course you won't listen to me, how much you want to bet the next comment will be another snappy argument about how the story is still going to fast blah...blah...blah..., instead of just being the better person and getting on with IT!

L didn't suspect Light just because he could, it was because of suspicious activities that happened during Raye Penbar's "Spying" on Light. But technically you can't say that's targeting Light alone, becuase 11 other FBI members were "Spying" on other people. Even afterwards, When L witetapped the entire Yagami family, it wasn't just Light being tapped, it was also the NPA Director Kitamura's house. So LI didn't just suspect Light "As soon as he showed up". If that was the case, L must be a psychic or something. You can't call other people thick headed just becuase they don't agree with you. But try to think of it in their point of view. They probably think you're the thick-headed one. Also, please use double brackets "((Example))" when talking out of character. It makes it more understandable what's in the RP and what's not. Just kidding.))

Need realistic and logical responses for the situation of your character. 2. Need to redo or edit your post so we can keep on going on. 3. No godmoding. I know we should get back to the RP and that’s also what everyone wants.  But before we get back to that… we want to know if you (modrocker) understand our reasoning to this argument…. We wouldn’t argue as much if you understand us and actually listen instead of arguing back.  We are not doing this if there’s no problem at all..that’s why all we want is for you to fix them.  We’d like to go far on the RP so we can have more fun… and I don’t blame Kioko for this…   So please let’s work together on this and UNDERSTAND the problem here. Another rule for this 1. IF SOMETHING IS WRONG OR YOU FIND IT ahem NOT FITTING OR JUST PLAIN DUMB ON A POST STRESS IT! Therefore so we don’t have to have a huge argument like this and we can just end it there. If Itami or Cheriko want to add more they can do so, and if members have suggestions for RULES, also feel free… Thank you Very much!! Also, Lawliet… I don’t understand why you like Death Note a lot but wouldn’t join the RP. XD It would be better if you’re actually join in also. Oh and I still need to check out your RP))

Itami wrote :   The parts I bolded seem to be the only problems. Rev could have touched the death note, I don't care about that part so much. BUT I don't think he should suspect Christian to have the power to kill or be Kira. The only thing Rev would be concerned with is what the hell Ryuk is or why the waiter is chasing down Kieran. Those are the only realistic reasons that Rev would be following Christian, and only would be because he saw that Kieran and Christian were running down the streets. Let's say he did have connections and learned about the death. So he inquired about Kioko's death at the cafe to Christian and Kieran *because* they were young enough to go to the college. He would have no suspicion of the death note as people have stated before. So as you wrote, let's continue and say he did touch the death note. The *most* realistic thing for you would be to leave the cafe promptly. XD But we can say you froze up. Then you saw Christian go out the door and follow Kieran, correct? What a good excuse to get the hell away from the shinigami! You could ask him why he was chasing Kieran and decide that if you did this, you surely could coerce Christian to give up any information about the college he could possibly have held back. No suspicion of the death note or Christian being Kira. However, Christian is about to kill two people in the subway so that's when you can put two and two together and realize his notebook can actually kill people IF you did in fact witness him writing their names down. Then you can slowly try to steal his "power" or rather try to manipulate him into killing people. But this could only last so long because Christian would eventually get sick of it, realize what you're doing, and snap. XD Does this sound like a sound way to edit your posts? XP

OMG!!! CHAOS WASN'T NICE  IN EXPLAINING THINGS?
... Sorry Modrocker. I really didn't mean to be that way. I was just pointing out. ^^

kioko wrote : (It's not that I don't understand what you want me to change, Modrocker, it's just that I think you may be taking what I wrote too seriously. First: the chasing. For one thing, it's very plausible that, not being human, Ryuk would be better capable of detecting someone. Note that Christian, a mere human, is still unaware that he is being followed. This can be found in the series, as Ryuk was the one who informed Light of the FBI agent following him--Ryuk didn't say anything this time because a)Ryuk doesn't believe that Christian will react properly and b)that would kind of screw up everything planned. Also, Ami, even though she is in the same area, also didn't realize that anything was going on besides cops being stupid. Ryuk is of course exaggerating Rev's inability to hide, but that's just how Ryuk--at least, my interpretation of him--is.. As Ryuk doesn't care for humans--as least, that's how I'm writing him to think--he is of course going to find Rev inferior. That's why he would make fun of him-.. This is where the scaring part comes in. Though I also doubt that Johnny would automatically know that Ryuk was a shinigami, you have to admit that Ryuk would be pretty intimidating. And, even if Rev was unaffected by the weirdness of Ryuk--which, if your character is as "INSANE" as you say, I can believe--it would still be rather unnerving to know that at least one of the people is aware of you, and, furthermore, doesn't seem to be at all worried about it. And again, since Ryuk doesn't care for humans, chances are he was exaggerating Rev's actions. A warning for the future: any time that I'm writing for Ryuk or Ami, there's going to be exaggerations like this. Ryuk finds humans nothing more than a form of entertainment , and Ami looks down on society. This of course leads to them insulting everyone around them, including all the other rp-ers! It's not just you: Ryuk is constantly insulting Christian's intelligence; Ami thinks Christian suffers from blue balls,  Kieran is a sociopath--hell, she thinks her own mother is nothing but dirt! Ryuk does it because I feel that he didn't get enough of a personality in the canon series and I thought that it would be interesting if he had all this social commentary.As for Ami, well, let's just say that that part of her personality will come back to haunt her. Why do I write characters that will probably anger everyone else on this board? It's a great stress reliever, actually, not to mention really fun to bad mouth all these characters who are supposed to be so elite. With the Naruto RP on Itami's site, I can't do things like that because my character Kioko doesn't have the personality for it and it's harder to do in third person--it appears less insulting when it comes straight from the perspective of a character you don't like rather than the omnipotent narrator.)
