The TV screen goes blue, lighting up with the following message:
Notice The scheduled program will be interrupted for a special message.
The picture then changed to what appeared to be a reporter shuffling some papers. "Apologies for the interruption. We now bring you a live worldwide broadcast from ICPO, Interpol." The reporter paused for a moment, looked off to the right, and then turned back to the camera and added, "It looks like they're ready to begin."
The picture changed again, this time to a man in a suit with black hair standing behind a podium. Behind him, the symbol for ICPO was visible, and on the podium, a nametag read LIND L. TAILOR. The man began to speak, "I am the only person who can control the entire world's police forces, Lind L. Tailor. I go by the codename 'L'. This successive murdering of criminals is unforgivable and must not go unpunished. I guarantee I will find the ring leader, or 'Kira'. Kira, I can guess what your motivations might be, but what you are doing is evil!" Lind finished with a bit of a smirk, staring at the camera and waiting. It seemed like an eternity, but suddenly, Lind curled up, grabbing his chest, his face contorting from pain, and then he died, slumping onto the podium. Two men in suits and sunglasses came and carried his body from the podium.
Once again the picture changed, this time to a black L in a fancy font on a gray background. "I can't believe it," a distorted, disembodied voice began. "I tested it, just in case, but I never thought it could actually be true. Kira, it seems you can kill people without having to be there in person. I wouldn't have been able to believe this if I hadn't just witnessed it. Listen closely, Kira; if you did indeed kill the Lind L Tailor on screen, I can tell you that he was, in fact, a criminal that was due to be put to death today. That was not me. He was a criminal that was captured by the police in absolute secrecy; you wouldn't have heard about him on the news or through the Internet. Looks like not even you have information on these kinds of killers. But as for L, he certainly does exist, as my own persona. Now try and kill me! Come on, hurry up! Kill me! What's wrong? Kill me! What are you going to do? Go on! Kill me! What's the matter? Can't you do it? So it seems you can't kill me. So, there are certain people you can't kill. Thanks for the hint. As a reward, I'll tell you one more thing: we lied about this being a worldwide broadcast. This announcement is currently only being broadcast across the Kanto region of Japan. We were planning to broadcast it at different times across different regions, but it seems that there is no longer any need for this. I know you're in Kanto. Your first killing was overlooked by the police, as it was such a small incident. However, your first victim was, in fact, the phantom killer in Shinjuku. Whilst the other high-profile criminals were dying of heart attacks, this was the one incident that stuck out as being quite a heavy punishment for such a low-profile crime. In addition, that incident was only reported within Japan. Just those pices of information were enough for me to figure it out. It means that you are in Japan, and that that criminal was your first experiment. Due to its large population, this announcement was first broadcast in the Kanto region, and, with luck, we found you. To be honest, I'd never thought it would go this smoothly. Kira, it seems like it won't be too long before I can sentence you to death. Kira, I'm curious to know your true motives behind this, but I guess that can wait until I've caught you. Let's meet again soon, Kira."
And then there was static.
It is Day 1. This day will not feature a lynch, and will end in 48 hours.

So. I've never played assassin's in the palace before, but I don't think our typical methods for determining scum will really work out. Any ideas people?

I also have never played in this style before, although I have heard of Kingmaker and Assasins in the Palace, I'm not too familiar with them, so will have to look them up.

The rules are quite different from what I've played before, going to try adapting to this game.

Realistically, we should random lynch since any information is critical to hiding the king in this setup.

Basically I'm saying, don't claim anything right now. You'll get us killed.

Alright guys... The basic premise of Assassin's in the palace is that there will be one or two "Assassins" with day kill abilities. Their job is to kill the "king" and if the king dies, the town loses. Some variants of Assassins doesn't even have a night phase, it just goes from one phase to the next. This one is combined with Kingmaker, which means that the town will have a king that decides who dies every day and it is entirely up to him who dies. I don't think that the vote-deciding king will be the same person as that target for the assassins, it would make it too easy for them. I don't know how the king is decided every day though. There, now you guys know so we can actually try getting somewhere.

Makes more sense now~ Son Dante says no hinting this DP, but we should random lynch, although we can't today .-.

Pretty much day phase is just for everyone to make a post. Considering I would highly advise against any sort of information fishing, we should sit on our hands right now, just let people come in and post as they please.

I agree with Dante. We can't risk either the king or the kingmakers getting outed this early.

andre, No we haven't today is pretty much a free phase. No point in doing much of anything, since we cannot risk a random lynch today.

As the buzz died down, people sat back to consider the implications of what they had just seen. The police had officially admitted that Kira was real, had even proven his existence, but Kira had been shown to have limitations in his failure to simply kill L, had even been clearly outsmarted by L's simple ploy to narrow down Kira's location. Who would prove victorious in this struggle? Only time would tell.It is Night 1. Please send all actions to Rotaretilbo. 48 hours until Day 2.

Criminals continued to die, with no breaks in the investigation. The multinational team of investigators gathered at the Interpol headquarters to begin their search for this fabled "Kira" that was behind the murders. However, today was different. An envelope bearing the old script L of the mysterious detective was found on a desk. Inside, it explained that Kira was hiding among the investigators, and that L was also now among the investigators, trying to ferret him out. Each day, L would elect someone to lead the investigation for the day, and that person would make an arrest based on what the investigators had discovered. In this way, L could remain anonymous while still directing the flow of the investigation. It included the day's choice.
No one has died. It is Day 2. luminous has been elected King.

Alright so I have a plan to systematically reveal who Kira is by process of elimination. Basically we randomly pick three people, those three people will talk to me out of thread by some means and reveal to me their name, Unless they are the king. If you are a King (L or Near) you can just say King thus not revealing your name. Of course if people in these small groups die, and only I am being revealed to, am I Kira, and you just kill me. Make sense? Questions comments?

There is a "Kingmaker" in the game and every night he decides who is the King for the next day phase. As for Dante's plan... It is risky, but it might be the only option we really have. If he's an assassin, then it could give away to him who the King is. Now it's also possible there are 2 Kings (L and Near). I have to think a bit more about it before I go through with telling him much, although from talking to him outside of thread, he doesn't seem scummy.

So, being elected King means? I'm quite clueless about this.
