How to: Be the Roles!

Hello there good boys and girls, today I'm going to talk to you on how to do better, or be more successful as roles. Don't forget to be creative when chosen as one!

How to be: L.
L is the one who's main objective is to find out who "Kira" or whatever the killer nicknames him/herself, and how they do such a thing. L can have whatever background he wants, as long as it's not something too stupid, or godmodding. As L, you can do a variety of things to try and catch Kira. I'll list a few common ways of doing so.

Lock-in-a-room trick: This is where L locks his suspect of Kira in the room, to be watched for a period of time. Kira cant kill, and if the kills stop, it'd lead L to be more suspicious of the suspect.

Acting on a clue: This is where L suspects something like "A Name and Face" but with information to prove that he does suspect that theory. If not godmodding, this can be very useful. If Kira proves your theory to be true, that helps add on to knowledge.


Switcheroo: Making a fake L. This can be quite useful at times, seeing Kira's reaction, or to see if the killer -actually- kills the fake L. If the L has no mask, this could be very useful, yet risky. This trap can be VERY efficient, but also can have a cost, as well.

Now for the places in Ls base. There are many things in it, so they'll be very useful when you start your approach as L. First there's your L computer, containing the "Announcing" verb, which brodcasts and L(Or whatever letter) around all nearby areas of Tokyo. This gains a crowd, and helps get more people to join you. Next there's the back of the L Computer room, containing Masks and Swat Armor. Pay attention to this, because it's definitely NOT useless! First off, the Mask cancels out Shinigami eyes, making Kira one step farther from being able to kill you. Next there's the armor, which basically does this; it prevents ANY bullets from hitting you, meaning they bounce right off! Neato, right? To the right there's a jail, where you can store convicted criminals or suspects in. Lastly, there's the Money room, which I like to call it. In here there's buckets, loads, TONS of yen for your liking! How awesome is that? Get some Post-Its, Guns, or whatever you need to help make sure you beat Kira! The Yen is in the computer, which you can deposit or withdraw from. And last, but not least, the Counter, to see the people who have arrived at the door. This concludes are How To: on L, but continue on reading for How To; be Kira!

How to be: Kira!

Many newcomers to the game don't know how to get names, or how Kira even kills on this game. It can be frustrating or hard, but I'll get you through it just fine.

Getting Names: NPC(s)!: Getting names is a tedious, but fine task. How would you normally hear about people in real life? You know it, the Newspaper, the News on TV, or generally anything on TV. Same applies with DNO. There's newspapers located in the Music/Headphone shop. Walk in, and read them. It'll give a brief description, then give you the name of the Criminal. HOWEVER, throughout the round, there is only one name in the newspaper, so it would work better to use the TV. Now, how to get names on...The TV.

Getting Names: TV: There are TV's all around the map of DNO, in many places. TVs broadcast the names of Criminals (In which you don't have to say they are.) Each TV can give you about two names. This is more worth while then newspapers, and more enclosed and private. You simply click on the TV, and a name appears. Write that in your Death Note, and in fourty seconds they will die. Click the TV again, and they'll announce that said person is dead. Wait about thirty seconds then click on the TV. It'll brodcast another name, and announce that he/she died when they do so. Then you should go find more TVs until you've killed every Criminal name.

Time for Kira's Tips and Tricks! Every feel as if you're in a tight jam, or you need help? Continue on reading if you want to see who to get out of those messes!

Kira Trick number one: Timing your Deaths. This is a useful technique to get you out of suspicion, and it doesn't take much time, either. Get the names of about five or four criminals. Kill each one by a heart attack in a cycle, and time their difference as five minutes. This'll make L rethink his suspicion, since the kills are still going on, and you're not doing anything at all.


Kira Trick number two: Giving up ownership. This is a risky, yet useful way to lose suspicion from L or others around you. Losing ownership of the Death Note means that you will give it back to the Shinigami, but lose all memories you had of it. If you're in a jam or about to be caught, using this would help majorly, since you wouldn't have any knowledge of the Death Note, so you can't act suspicious or use it.

Kira Trick number three: Second Kira? As if. This is a trick I use a lot, actually. For this trick, you try to shift the blame, or make someone else act suspicious. Doing this can be achieved in a multiple of ways, such as giving someone a piece of the Death Note, say they see a Shinigami. Another way to do this trick is by finding the most suspicious person, and time your kills for whenever he/she is not in the room.
