For anyone that doesn't know about Death Note it's a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone's name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.

Death note rules.

Let’s just say “death by spiders in butthole” would be a very common thing for the next few days.

Death by lightning strike would be a lot more common.

Many who live deserve death. Many who have died deserve life. Can you give it to them? Do not be so eager to deal out death in judgment.

I'd put it in a box and drop it in a river.

"Some ask what right do i have kill them, those that know their nature will ask, what right do I have to let them live?"

Some people are just legit evil. Ever see drowning Moana? Whole town celebrated her death.

Throwing that away would risk someone unhinged like Light gets it. Better someone who isn't getting off to being a god on borrowed powers.

Kira's downfall was his ego. So the user of the Death Note should be a selfless person, thinking about what the impact of this tool is on humanity and whether it can be used (and if so, how) for the betterment of humanity.

There are a number of ways...

Put it on the shelf with the other one

Question, do you have to write a person's legal name or do you think it'll understand "Crypto Hitler"?

[–] Landless2029 10 points 5 days ago

Per the rules as written I'm going to say no. A person would have to go by a written name at the very least.

Eh fuck it. "*". Kill everyone I can picture people so idk worth a shot?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I would pull that lever so fucking hard. That amount of responsibility would basically take over and ruin my life, even if they never caught me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I probably would use it like a journal and kill a bunch of people by accident

[–] Landless2029 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's pretty fucked up considering you'd probably write about someone you know but wouldn't wish harm on.

The rules are on the inside cover so I'd assume most people would check there for ownership and see its a death thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Tbh if i came across a notebook with a bunch of ominous bullshit on the inside cover, I'd assume it was a prop for V:TM or some other goth-ish ttrpg. And then promptly ignore the instructions until I notice people dying.

And that's assuming I don't just rip out the instructions or glue a picture over it

[–] Landless2029 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well that's a fresh take.

Find nice bound notebook with good paper. Random RP inside. Keep cool book. Use as diary...

How many people die before you realise? I'm guessing two or three.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I sure hope so. I mean, considering that the people whose names would make it into the book would almost certainly be people I interact with regularly and am close to. I think I would be devastated. Might write my own name in after I figure out I'm the reason my friends are having heart attacks.

Alternative scenario: My typical way to come up with names for characters is to go to Wikipedia and look up obscure celebs and historical figures that seem appropriate. If I use the journal to solo-rpg V:TM with the assistance of the Mythic GM Emulator, I'm gonna have a killstreak in the hundreds and never figure it out.

The only thing that would fuck with this is if the shinigami who owns the book shows up to tell me what the book is for. I may be dumb, but if an obviously supernatural thing comes up to me I'm gonna treat it like it wants to be treated and listen to what it says. Ryuk is getting as many apples as he wants.
