    Default Something you mafia players might wanna watch...

    ...And so, I'm meant to be doing course work for uni but i was taking a break whilst eating. bored whilst eating, i'd thought i'd have a look around on what i can watch and I came across the anime Death Note...


    ... And OMG, this is on another level, nothing i've seen before. This isn't your typical japanese anime/cartoon with "cute" characters with big boobs coupled with comedy, but this is serious stuff (with normal proportioned people and the art is excellent). I won't ruin the story, but its goes something like this:

    A Genius one day picks up a "Death Note" which gives him power to kill people. He decides to use it on criminals to make a perfect world. However due to the sudden death of lots of criminals, police enlist a mysterious person called "L" to help them. They both vow to bring the other to justice. The story then goes on with a mafia game feel - the two geniuses play a lot of reverse psychology and testing each other, out-witting each other and there's so much more WIFOM than sasaki can put forward.

    I wont go any further, but I seriously recommend this. I usually don't post stuff like this but Death Note has definitely grabbed my attention as a mafia player - i've just done a 10 episode marathon

    have a look around and give it a try up to ep 3, there's places where you can watch this online or even download.....

    Yeah, I think it would make a great setting for a mafia game.

    thanks for the links, i didnt know if we were allowed to post that or not

    but yea, i would make an excellent mafia game - i'm just watching it now and everytime they play mafia between the two, it gettings me thinking exactly the same things lol

    and GH - if you REALLY do host something like this, i'd join right away unless of course your top secret plan's to kill us all :/

    We've been tossing the idea around for a while, but can't get the mechanics to work. No matter how you make it, be it a mafia game or something else, it gets kind of hard to balance things when everybody has a suspicion of who the villain is from the start and he can kill you all almost instantly. Now that it's academic crunch time (speaking of which, why am I on the forums right now), we haven't been thinking about it much.

    -edit- As for the links, I'm going to err on the side of caution for this one and remove them. For you Americans, Cartoon Network airs it, or at least it did during the summer. Not sure about anywhere else.

    Been a big big fan of "L" for few years now
    I agree this is a wonderful Anime, one of the best I've seen so far.

    Another suggestion is "Liar Game" though its havn't turned into an anime yet.

    Just been watching it from the link Greyblades gave. However, "L" is definitely Sasaki Kojiro.

    Nah, YLC is closer to "Light" than Reenk. I never ever seen Sasaki and YLC in a duel-off either.

    I recall a duel between "Holmes" and Reenk in Mafia 4-5?(I think?)

    That reminds me of "Death note" more then any other mafia game on the org., so far.....I mean Reenk was claiming "Detective" in the face of the unsupassed "Holmes" and almost got away with it....

    Seamus was caught at the end though....

    No no no, when Sigurd is on his game he's easily L. Hands-down.

    Not sure who Light would be. -edit- Not Reenk though, I don't think. Nothing against him, but Light isn't as... free-spirited... as Reenk.

    Loving the series, up to ep. 6 right now.

    I can think of a friend of mine who would easily love to be Light/Kira... although now that I think about it that's kind of creepy.

    I say 'khaan is the "Light" of the Gameroom, because he keeps changing his identity and he's so good at being mafia.

    Yeah, I guess GH could be Light....I recall that one time he nailed me good in "Inishmore mafia"(Framed me, by saying I connected him in PM first) Even letting one of his men take the lynch....while he guessed who the detective was

    But you had Sasaki

    When he is Pro-town, he is pretty kick- when he tried his best in that one game to block the Mafia....but failed, because it just couldn't 100% block some of the Mafia/SK and he even warned town that was the case....

    But you should have blocked me....I was a recruit of yours...

    Only other person who it could be....is

    sorry about the link suggestions GH i tried to make it as discrete as possible

    I just finished ep 20 on my mini marathon and the first part is definitely very very exciting. the middle part im on atm is a bit less exciting but i hear the last part is awesome?

    a good recommendation eh?

    It starts out crazy good, gets pretty good, then ends up just crazy, and good.

    It's an interesting series, I prefer the manga a few times though, but that's just me

    Manga had a few more interesting developments.. Anime was... pretty.
    They were both good

    I'm happy with Mogi san or something for me. I see White_eyes as Light

    Yes, an excellent show, though it can be a bit silly at times.

    Its probably been about 8 months or so that GH and I have batted the idea around, but it never got more than conceptual. Partly because of the difficulty GH explained, and also out of trying to be faithful to the show. It would take a combination of great attention to detail by to detail by the host as well as great performances by the respective pro-town and "pro-Light" forces.

    Overall, I'm a bit unsure right now about how good a mafia game could be made of it while still doing proper tribute to the show.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Heres my attempt of designing the game

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Large game

    Game starts right after Light and Misa meets

    Players can post a letter on public

    Characters
    Pro Kira
    Yagami Light- Kira. Starts with a death note. Know Misa. Be the last one alive but Misa can live
    Misa- Starts with a death note. Knows Light. Be the last one alive with Light. If he does, she dies as well

    Pro L
    L- Detective. Cannot die as long as Watari lives. Knows Watari
    Watari- Mason. Knows L

    Japanese Investigation Group- L supporter
    Yagami Souichirou- Mason
    Matsuda Touta- Neutral
    Mogi Kanzo
    Aizawa Syuichi

    If they are found by L, they get 1 investigation per night as long as they have more then 2 men alive

    L supporter
    Aim is to burn the Death note and lynch Kira

    Kira supporter
    Aim is to become the Serial Killer and lynch L

    If Death note dies, L supporters gets a victory
    If not, Kira supporter wins a minor victory

    Deathnote Ability
    - Can kill (x number of death note)
    - Can give it to others
    - If one gets lynched, Death note will go to random person who has voted for that player
    - If one gets killed, Death note will go to the killer
    -Can be destroyed/ burned


    What do you guys think?
