If you had a Death Note how would you use it?

[Ulquiorra4sama]

It's murder either way.

Might as well use it for personal gain.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Wow, havent seen a thread like this since '09. I'd keep it. Just for giggles.

 

[mega48man]

dayum. ok how about this; i get up off my ass and kill him the old fashioned way. none of this new age death book stuff you hoolagins use today.

but what if the death note could give you a premonition or something else gave you a premonition of the future. then use the death note to kill the person involved in that premonition thus controlling the the future. and remember, you can't be trolling without controlling

you would only have the premonition of the person dying by your hand, creating a paradox as you have no reason to kill them.
thanks for destroying time and space, jerk.

it was a pleasure, BUT, you'll be glad to know all i need to do is reboot it through the tardis matrix by overloading it with the power of the sun, and everything should be back to normal

but... but we need the sun to not die.
and then you just make everything up until then pointless...
and the tardis cant handle a paradox, which is why it couldnt hold two Amys.

exactly!!!

 

[Amphoteric]

i'd totally use it on this one dude i know, he's such a fuckin arrogant piece of shit

So naturally he deserves death.

Yeah, it can't possibly bring good. I have no idea what I would do with it though.

 

[Yoshemo]

Goodbye politicians... all of em

 

[Seishisha]

I'd only use it once, im not vindictive but if anyone deserves a slow painfull death involving having every cell in your body explode one after another untill absoluting nothing remains is the man who single handedly caused me so much angst and hatred that litteraly ruined months of my life it is he, i ofcourse mean the man who invented the crazy frog.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Could you use it to extend someone's life? Say, tell it t kill someone in a year, who would otherwise die in a week.

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

I would have quite a moral choice dilemma. Do I use it to play God or stash it for safe keeping some ware?

Edit: Seems like most of the community would have no problems with playing God with it. Well, the Escapist is a bit of a downer community so not surprising.

 

[LadyDeadly]

how would I use it?

EXTREMELY.

 

[PancakesSUCKTHEYDO]

Probably just sick it on my shelf.

My isn't that the safest idea I've ever come up with :3

 

[Tartarga]

I would kill all the reality show stars, because of their fame learning they're names and faces would be easy as hell. I probably wouldn't even need the shinigami eyes, unless I decide to move on to a more difficult target afterwards.

 

[Rule Britannia]

I'd probably save it, but I'd probably get really angry at somebody one day and use it then regret it for the rest of my life

 

[MrRetroSpectacles]

i would use it exactly like Light does.
and theres a whole section on the written rules and loopholes in the Death Note. at the start of every anime/manga chapter is about 3 of them. theres 100-and something (115 i think) chapters, not including the bonus ending because it never got anime'd

I'd use it on the WBC members, cause of death, crushed by three hundred tonnes of their own hate signs, time 6:66am, location, wherever they are, background music: it's oh so quiet by Bjork.

rookie mistake: you cant control the background music, so they'd all heart-attack. plus you cant make sure there will be the signs over them all at that (nonexistant but i'll deal with that) time.
and the number of the Beast is 616 anyway.

Use its powers to become the God of a new world! A world filled with justice!

can i have your drivers license.
for... unrelated purposes.
one with a valid picture...
cos i mean there can only be one God.
thats unrelated though.

No mate, I really don't care about the anime stuff, literally no idea what the death note is, i'm just saying that if i killed them, this is how i'd do it. If I could, I genuinely would.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

Of course I'd use it. I do suspect that I'd run out of pages in the notebook quite quickly, despite writing in really small letters.

For shits and giggles I'd probably write down the names of major politicians and national leaders, especially U.S presidents. It would be kind of fun to see how the world would react when politicians suddenly DON'T want to lead and consider being elected for president, prime minister, dictator or whatever to be some form of punishment rather than a reward. XD

 

[RedDeadFred]

I would use it to kill this guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view].

You just wrinkled my brain...
OT:I would use it to punish the people responsible for the second season of Death Note.

 

[Mr.Tophat]

I'm sure it makes really good toilet paper.

Or perhaps kindling.

No single human has any right (or the ability to) be judge jury and executioner. If you think you do, you need to find yourself a good slice of humble pie.

 

[FernandoV]

I would use it at literally every whim. I take the subway constantly so if you're interested in population control, give me that book and I'll have every rush hour train empty within days.

 

[Leemaster777]

Could you use it to extend someone's life? Say, tell it t kill someone in a year, who would otherwise die in a week.

Wouldn't work, for a variety of reasons:

1: The Death Note can never be used to extend someone's life, only end it. (the only exception being if you kill someone who is going to kill someone else)

2: You can't set a date of death later than 23 days after writing the name.

3: You can't set a time of death that is AFTER when the person would normally die.

What can I say, I own the "How to use" Death Note guide (seriously).

OT: I'd burn it. No one should have that power, and I sure as hell don't want it.

Ever heard the saying "might makes right"? It's pretty much the law of nature.

And you in your arrogance decide to defy nature by inventing arbitrary "rights" and deciding who gets them and who doesn't? You sure you're not the one needing a spoonful of humble pie m'friend?

 

[TyranidXX]

I'd use it and probably try pull off what Light did only I'd have more sense. I'd also probably target other people along with criminals. Finally, if someone like L tried to find me with the same stunt as in the Manga/Anime, I'd write down the name given on a separate piece of paper while taking a photo or something and then kill him after a few weeks just to prove that ploy won't work.
