Oh shit. This thread takes me back to 2008. Now I feel old. Seriously, you wouldn't believe how popular these threads were back in the day.
I doubt you could start an overt war, if the show is anything to go by. Worst case scenario: The Faceless Men of the Australian Labor Party will end up ruling the world.Elfgore said:Option 1. I mean the power I have in my hands is quite scary. I could cause WW3 by writing down a couple names, that is really scary for me. People are not meant to have that much control over life and death. Even the best of people could become cold killers, killing people for the stupidest reasons. That thing is getting burned.
That's a tricky one since the effects of the Death Note is unable deliver fatal colateral damage due to the following rule:CorvusFerreum said:
Just to see what'll happen. Because I'm really curious wether this would work (not that I'd really would notice if it did...)
In otherwords, you planning to give the universe a heart attack (which'll result in everyone dieing cause the universe they live in just died?) Then I guess you're outa luck.How To Use said:Even though only one name is written in the Death Note, if it influences and causes other humans that are not written in it to die, the victim?s cause of death will be a heart attack.
Don't worry. Users of the Death Note don't go to hell if you use the Death Note. Unless Hell is an equitorial island where everyone speaks French, located in the middle of the Indian Oceanverdant monkai said:M8 I'd burn it.
I don't want to go to fucking Hell. There is also no one I hate enough to kill.
Yeah the fucking Shinigami king gets you, then he makes you suffer all the deaths you caused. Then you disappear completley. From the minds of everyone who knew you on earth and from all documented records.Xpwn3ntial said:Well, one of the rules of the death note is that you don't go to heaven or hell. So you're safe in that department.

Kinda, yea. Though I would be less about 'I'll murder all of them!' if anyone found out, and more 'shit, let's hide for a while.'tangoprime said:So, you'd basically be exactly following Light's path from the original story, as that was exactly what he intended before he was corrupted.sanquin said:I'd start out using it for 'good'. My version of it at least. All people that are known severe criminals, like the gang leaders running their gangs from prison would go in there right away if I could find out their name. Serial rapists, anyone that committed a planned murder, willing torturers (or if not, the people forcing them to do so), etc.
Later on I'd probably start using it for personal gain. I don't consider myself such a good person that I think the 'power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely' saying won't affect me.
You're telling me that if I had Barack Obama, David Cameron, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, and a couple other world leaders killed, a war wouldn't start. Sure if they died by heart attacks it would have a lower chance of starting a war, but what if I had them shot or ran over with a car? I could easily start the third world war.Anomynous 167 said:I doubt you could start an overt war, if the show is anything to go by.
