Theres no death note community to post this in so… here we go…
(Btw, how many names do you think you can fit on there?)
First thing, I’m buying the finest fineliner I can, go for 4-6 columns on the page.
Then I’m writing in billionaires, one a week, after making them cosign a suicide note that the deaths will stop once wealth distribution flattens the fuck out, there’s a full UBI everywhere and fossil fuels are history.
Dont go too thin on the pen tip. A slightly thicker pen line but one that doesnt skip or fail is better than slightly thinner lines due to wasting space on ruining what you are writing. This depends on how the death note page works specifically but having to write it down all at once might be a necessary part of how it would work.
The thinnest you will find will likely be the gel ink Signo 0.18mm tipped pens, they are notorious for skipping/failing and being basically useless once they start doing that, so buy MANY pens if you can find them. I believe they are discontinued so you may have to bribe people to part with them.
There are some really good pens in the .25 to .38
Muji pens ive seen recommended multiple times.
Ive used 0.38 purple pentel pens, the tip is quite sharp and has cut through paper if you go too fast or too hard. You said fineliner so a marker style tip may prevent that danger, though i dont think you can get those in extremely small tip sizes
This depends on how the death note page works specifically but having to write it down all at once might be a necessary part of how it would work.
Former Death Note nerd here, this isn’t an issue, there are several points where names are written out letter by letter or left unfinished to complete later
Nerds are awesome, thank you
Just because the billionaires are dead doesn’t mean their wealth automatically distributes through the population though. Their kids/spouses get it first and who knows what their intentions are going to be.
Inheritees are probably going to feel disincentivized to hold on to anywhere close to a billion dollars for themselves, I’d imagine, so there’s that at least
If billionaires are literally dropping by the week, I think billionaires would actually be forced to do something about it, i.e. not be billionaires anymore or face the mystery “Billionaire Heart Attack” that’s been spreading.
Or get a special law passed that allows them to conceal their identity.
I don’t think it’d be easy to hide your identity unless its already non-public. Even just a single photo could locate someone nowadays
Not now, it would become that way though if this went on long enough
But are they living alone in a bunker or something, someone knows who they are and they are gonna get caught 99/100 times.
You’ll have a tough time fitting the details of each suicide onto one page, for more than a few dozen folks.
‘as above’
Elon, a starlink fell. A hole for his boots
Start at the top of the Forbes billionaire list and fit as many names as I can
Bruh thats wayy too obvious. You’re gonna cause martial law being declared world-wide, the problem wouldn’t be solved.
What exactly is obvious? The cops are not going to jump to death note being real and there’s basically zero identifying information in the choice of billionaires.
I think you could just straight up get away with it if you stuck to publicly known individuals like that tbh
They would think some secret revolutionary group is somehow poisoning them without being detected, and thus justify martial law in order to stop the “rebellion”.
Worth it.
Sounds like someone wants their name added to the list
Sounds like you get a bunch of generals who conceal their identities to rule their country by decree.
Like, if:
Identity known = Dead
Identity unknown = Still alive
They will deduce that this “rebel group” can only kill if their target’s identity is known.
So they’ll end up having secret junta meetings, and a spokesperson wearing a ski mask.
Every country would do this.
It’d be chaotic totalitarian world.
Ah, okay. Now I get you, lol.
I’d start testing to see what the restrictions are on the note - for example, could you get Thiel to give all his money away and then end himself? If there aren’t many restrictions you could say “Netanyahu, by nuclear weapon, at the Davos summit in 2025” in order to take out a whole bunch of the ruling class at once.
The other thing I’d try is writing “Elon Musk, guillotined by a revolutionary communist government made from the population of the former United States” to see if I could get regime change to happen.
I don’t know if I’m remembering the plot correctly but I think you can control the actions of only the target individual and only in a way that’s reasonably possible
You are only able to specifically control the actions of the named target, but their death can involve another person.
Ie you can say “so and so gets hit by a bus” and a random bus nearby will hit them, but you cannot say “so and so is killed by such and such” and have the second person kill the first. I believe both people die of a heart attack if you try.
I’d burn it. I’m not a murderer. Having a way to murder someone doesn’t make me want to do it.
If you burn it, or fail to use it, someone you briefly thought maybe should go on the list gets to use it
?? I didn’t “briefly think” to write any name, it goes straight to the gas stove.
I’m a bit of a Buddhist myself, but knowing that I stopped billions from suffering for ending the lives of a few evil people, I could do it.
I could do it with my bare hands.
Putin
Trump
Kim Jong Un
Netanyahu
All heart attacks, all at the same time. Play like Light except with world leaders. Undoubtedly I’m missing many, but I could add as needed. Minimal text size to leave space.
No public statements so I’m harder to trace. Then I save the page. If a world leader pulls some horrendous shit, down they go.
It would be flawed for the same reasons Light is, and it would be biased to my viewpoints, but I don’t care. I cannot imagine the world would be a worse place with those people dead. And eventually people would spot the pattern and then leaders might think twice.
Although for the planet overall maybe it’d be better to use it for eco-terrorism
Most-importantly, don’t also go kill anyone that says you’re evil, just to stoke your ego.
Yeah and the same if someone is chasing/suspecting you. They would never be able to prove anything if you don’t make a mistake or draw attention to yourself. Also helpful that L is fictional
You’ve left off the upcoming president of the United States, Elon Musk
And he should get run over by an unmanned Tesla, just to drive the point home.
Don’t you have to be a natural born citizen for that?
For the formal title, yes. To have the power, you just need a bunch of money and a weak, easily-manipulated man to do what you say.
Add to it that they evacuate their bowels and are alive long enough to suffer embarrassment.
I really like this one. Maybe it would scare leaders to not become corrupt scum of the earth. Saving it for people who impact the most lived makes the most sense to me.
Write in pencil.
You’re gonna need a lot of apples.
I would continue Luigi’s legacy by trying to fit as many names of c-suite personnel of evil corporations on it, font size 1.
Stop stripping Luigi Mangione of his right to presumption of innocence.
I suggest a microfiche printer.
First on my list would be, just as an experiment, someone completely random I find online just to see what happens. You know, something that would somehow end up making major news, news big enough that I’d hopefully see it when my dad watches the nightly news. Just to see that the page works. My parents would never find the page since they don’t go through my stuff, so I’d be safe there. Just gotta make sure nobody sees it through a camera, so phone and laptop out of the way when I write. Definitely burn it after it’s all used up and everyone on it is dead to ensure nobody sees it. Wouldn’t be that hard for me to put it in my pyrex bowl and light it up.
After confirming it works, get to work on some of the people I wanna see gone for whatever reason. If a torn/cut off piece works, you bet I’d take some lines and cut them before cutting those into smaller pieces. Then store them in my wallet for any time I’m out and about and have a surprise Mormon missionary pop up on me. Sounds cruel, but I ain’t got time for them and don’t know how to effectively tell them no. Just have to have them sign the slips, with me asking for an autograph or something before I leave.
The rest would go to various people. I think some of my biggest targets would be looking up the mega pastors here in America and having them reveal to all their followers that they have been scammed the whole time, calling them the dumbest sheeple on the planet before ending themselves somehow. Mega pastors deserve it for stealing money from the gullible.
Next would be a large group of CEOs from large tech firms. They’d probably have enough time to clear their schedules and meet up with each other, so there would be a livestreamed MMA match to the death, after telling the world how they’ve defrauded everyone and that the class war is on because after the match they’re sending kill squads to eradicate the poor. So probably have them use their wealth to try and coordinate that as well and set it up so it doesn’t actually happen, but that they planned on making it happen, with verifiable messaging/email to prove it. Really set the world up for chaos, I guess. Winner of the match would just kill themselves, I guess, IDK what they would do if anything. CEOs like the gøøg|e, amazøn, twatter, fakebook, redd¡t, and maybe a few others sound good to me because they definitely screw over loads of people.
I think my 3rd set would just be a single target if I could figure out who they are. Just gotta figure out who the head of the American branch of scientology is so I could make that fool reveal all the crimes he is able to reveal that the wackjob cult has ever committed here in America by making sure they’re all made publicly available by making the records public domain and widely available while also making him get rid of their tax exempt status by having people lobbying the government to permanently remove it forever to add insult to injury. Let the people know what that cult is all about while simultaneously ruining them.
Though, after that, cannot think of any other local (country wide) targets, so from there, probably go after some big names I cannot say because I don’t feel comfortable saying. Politicians and dictators are a scary thing to have hunting you over the fact you make a post about wanting them gone, so I’mma end it there.
Don’t know how possible some of this would be, but you gotta admit it would bring chaos to our world and really shake up the status quo having all these things happen.
Doesn’t anyone here know that the Death Note (1) curses all those who use it with misfortune and (2) will trap your soul in limbo after use?
Nah, I’m good. Tweezers and a matchstick.
But does that really count tho? You dont own any death note, just have one sheet.
Why wouldn’t it? It’s literally a plot point of the show that individual pages still work the same.
If I’m willing to cold bloodedly kill people for the “greater good”, then I’ve definitely already accepted I’m shredding my soul.
will trap your soul in limbo after use?
Get to hang out with babies and people who died before christ was redeemed for all eternity.
You know that list of the richest people in the world?
You’d need to investigate their heirs first, because they’ll just make s bunch of new oligarchs when they die and those will catch the pattern pretty quickly.
Putin falls to his death from an open window.
Wipe my arse with it so all the shits of the world die.
My first thought always goes for the bezos of the world but my immediate second thought is always about them undoubtedly having a legacy planned for passing their money to the next bezo. So then what’s the point?
Can’t do the US Supreme Court people I don’t like either.
I don’t personally have any one I’d write in.
Fuck it, I’m writing in Elon Musk gets imploded in a Tesla submarine by himself.
Money dilutes really fast after inheritance. Not only is the value distributed to a handful of people, but the income potential is reduced, as most the stock value is tied to that person being alive.
Chatgpt suggests that with a 0.3mm tip pen, and writing letters no more than 2mm x 2mm, you could fit roughly 1000 names per side of an a4 sheet.
So if you’re fine with the default means of killing, and use both sides of the paper, you could take out about 2000 people.
As far as how I would personally use it? I’d put down maybe two or three names per month. I don’t have the greatest fine motor skills around, so I could fit maybe 250 names per side at most.
Who would I target? Idk. My first thought would be people like Putin & Kim Jong Un, but the concern there is if those two chucklefucks suddenly die, their countries will descend into chaos and there’s no telling what will happen to their nukes.
I think the goal would be to try and use it in a way that makes world leaders hesitant to do anything evil because they know their hearts can just explode if they get bad press.
I think I’d just fold it up and keep it hidden somewhere until something crazy happens where the world would really actually strongly benefit. I don’t think right now is the time.
It is always the right time.
