Poll: You now have your own Death Note...

[Lord Beautiful]

Burn it. Immediately. Neither myself nor any other individual should have that kind of power.

 

[AWDMANOUT]

I would follow Light's ideals, but correct his most fatal flaw: wanting to be ruler of this "pure world".

[xidphel]

I chose other because that's the closest thing I'll get to ignoring everything else while just going:
F!CK YEAH!
DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!DIE!

Until I run out of characters or get banned for spam and sensor evading.

 

[Odegauger]

I'd kill all the jocks that bullied me in high school.

Hmm.

And all the girls who rejected me after I never talked to them.

 

[archaicmalevolence]

i would keep it on me but i wouldn't use it.

 

[SlasherX]

Would kill all things that need to be killed, starting with drug dealers and working my way up, then kill people ot become ruler of the world, no but really just the first part

 

[WeOwnTheSky]

It's not up to me to decide who lives or not... I would like to say that I would use it for good, but people are easily corrupted...Light as the fitting example...

Knowing me, I'd probably hide it away, and eventually forget about it. One day I need paper in a panic, and grab the notebook from random hidden place and start an assignment. So obviously, I'd write my own name. fail...

 

[joshuaayt]

I can't really speak for what I would actually do once I had the power of a god- the ability to reduce an act such as murder down to writing on a piece of paper would *have* to change me, massively- but as I am now, I would push the world in the direction I feel most appropriate. Research worldwide political happenings, respond with deadly force.

I mean, there is such potential for good in this evil artifact- letting it go to waste, ignoring the power to change the world? That, my friends, would be truly criminal.

...And, yeah, I'd probably end up benefiting financially as well. So sue me- We're all greedy fuckheads, when it gets down to it.

 

[Alade]

Use it to my own benefit of course.

 

[zombiejoe]

Burn the book while this plays in the background

I mean what you could do with the book is cool, but I don't think I could morally do it.

 

[zombiejoe]

Burn it. And then burn the DVD collection of Death Note, one of the most boring cartoons I've ever seen.

Yeah! We can be burn buddies!

But I actually did like the manga, and the show was ok.

 

[Shining_Pyrelight]

Test it out, if it works I would begin killing people...lots of bad people.

Once all the bad people were gone (enough to where I'd be satisfied at least), I'd seduce older rich people close to death, get them to change their wills and leave all their money to me then I'd write their name in the Death Note...Actually, I could just write in the Death Note "Leave all money to ______ and die of a heart attack 3 hours later". I don't really want to seduce an old person. And if anyone questioned the will, BAM, walks into traffic

Then I'd seduce my Shinigami and get them to give up their lives for me. I wanna live a long time with that kinda power and money.

Basically, I'd be a self-righteous Anna Nicole Smith without the drugs...and a guy.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

oh believe me, there would be quite a few dictators around the world that would be getting a lovely visit from my book..it would be long painful and public deaths for them, and i would make sure it scared the shit out of all of their followers in the process or more deaths would follow.


but besides that, not really..i don't generally wish ill upon people, hell i would do nice deaths for people i know nearing their end, i'd have them die fat and happy rather than alone and at their own natural time..

 

[Lilani]

Having seen Death Note, I think the safest thing to do would be to destroy it or give it back.

 

[Reincarnatedwolfgod]

i have never watched death note before so how the hell does a book kill anything beyond illiteracy. but what ever i am going not even acknowledged the existence of the rules; so i choose not to to kill no one by bash some ones skull with the book because killing is wrong

out of all realism i would make it my doodling book since the rules sound ridiculous

 

[MrAkuma201]

I don't see the bad thing in killing some bad people.

 

[crudus]

I would kill people as I saw fit. Most of the time it would be that fucking asshat who just cut me off on I-65, I mean what the hell you fucker?!

Take over everything. Ever. If you really want I can email you the elaborate as hell what-if document I have in my laptop on what I'd do in this exact scenario.

Oh good. I am not the only one with one of those. Send it to me. It would be a shame for that work to go to waste.

 

[Zerazar]

First idea: Use it to murder in some kind of "selfdefense".
Second idea. Use it for some really rather morbid sex.
Third, last and best idea: Use it to earn a whole damn lot of money and live happily ever after.

 

[Kingsman]

On one hand, no man should ever have that much power.

On the other hand, this is more power than anyone else has had or will ever have, ever.

Hmm... I would stow it away. Just in case. Maybe write the name of the next dictator that begins a mass murder of his people.

Ghadafi would be exempt, merely by virtue of him never having given a single spelling of his name, which means six times falsely = exemption.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

first things first why the bloody hell would I hand it over to the goverment? Of course Im not doing that!!
That all said I think that first off I'd dream up the perfect elaborate/ironic/justice serving death for the adults in the Westboro Baptist Cult on another page in a different book! then I'd right it down in the Death Note, and turn the channel to Fox News and see if they die Live on TV as I've written that they would/should in the book! And if this works, I'd cackle maniacally(or squee with joy) before writing down some more names(goodbye and good riddance to ACLU leaders, evil world leaders, and maybe one person that may not be evil that I just don't like)
