For sure. And I would do a better job by creating a cult of personality around myself and use it to take over the world.

You could blanket things like, for instance, name some guy in a rebellious country and say he died when natural disasters wiped out half the human population there. Make the threat, then take credit for it and tell everyone to fall in line if they want your favour. Conversely, you could be benevolent and give rain to dry parts of Africa and use it to drown a criminal or something as a setup. There are two sides to the coin.

It's godlike power, that could reshape the world far more then was shown in the movie at least. You can kill alot more people then you write down, by controlling the actions of people before they die (and having them kill many others).

No more N Korea for instance or any other oppressive rulers, you could take out the entire regime by making the current leader order all their deaths before he finally dies (doing that for all of them on the same day). That would be just a start though. Given enough time, someone with a real death note could end up preventing most crime in the whole world, and cause humanity to actually share and care for each other for the first time in history.

A real death note could make heaven on earth. I'd use it to do that if I had one.

I'd just give it back to the god. I would ask some questions first (If it was comfortable with it) and learn about its nature. Maybe we could be pals.

It wasn't stated in the movie, but one of the rules of the Death Note is that you can't use controlled people to kill other people.

So, random points...
I think a Death Note has infinite pages...
I'm pretty sure it can't create floods, tornadoes, etc.



I was going to say something about being easily corrupted by such a power, but then I remember that even near the beginning, Light didn't just care about killing criminals, he fully intended to kill of lazy/unproductive people once he was done with the criminals. Like, once he realized it worked for real. (at least in the Anime)

Well the movie totally broke that rule because the chick used the death note to make that fbi agent write all the other fbi agents names in the book and kill them. So yeah, according to the movie at least, you could use it to force someone to kill others. Since you could do that to world leaders, you could literally destroy the world if you wanted.

The Death Note is evil.
The Shinigami are not your trustworthy or friendly towards humanity especially Ryuk.
I refuse to accept the power that will corrupt me and change me into something evil.
And so, my answer is: Absolutely no thank you. Stay away!!

Absolutely. I'd use it so incredibly fast.
I forgot how specific you can get with the deaths but would something like "After finishing his entire ASoIaF series in 2018 and publishing the books on time, GRRM died of natural causes after living a long and fulfilling life."

Yeah, except he could finish it in 3 chapters and publish that, and would need to finish it all within 2 days anyway (there is a time limit of actions before the death).

Evil can be used for good purpose.

Also I find it interesting that Ryuk says nobody made it past 2 letters of his name, especially since you could cheat the system a bit.

Have Ryuk mention as a source of death and then have a larger affect kill him (without having to say his name again) later on (using them instead). Might not work but worth a try and would get around the only 2 letter of his name thing (unless he kills you if you even start to mention him anywhere in the pages).

In such a case, you could always target somone else with the first 3 letters Ryu or something and then just add the K before he can do anything about it.
