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

[Auxiliary]

I find it funny that people would avoid using it because you can't go to heaven or hell. Am I the only one who believes that it simply means that there is no heaven or hell in the world of Death Note?

 

[rutger5000]

Wright my own name to die after five to ten years from now. Then start to use it to purge the world of dictators and evil CEO's. I would have written my own name down because I'm sure I'm going to lose it after a while, and just become as evil as the people I initially killed. Maybe give it away the day before I die, to continue the job.
Also I would totally go for those eyes.

 

[Vanalosswen]

There's a few people I know who just need to die. I'd use it on them, then hide it away for the next time I need it.

 

[Rayken15]

I'd test it on my maths teacher. He'd never see it coming. Ever

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA

 

[Fetzenfisch]

If it works, i buy some apples, then kill everyone i think should not be on this planet.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I don't think I'd want to kill anyone...
I'd feel a little guilty.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

I'd probably test it on the Red Hot Chili Peppers and then save it.

I'd test it on this guy.

 

[Xanian]

I had an old math teacher who keeled over in a lecture one day from an aneurysm. I'm beginning to think he got Death Noted.

OT: Uhm...I dunno...rules seem to be notebook kills people and the shinigami always lies...so...uh...burn it?

A writer of a death note can't go to Heaven or Hell, but Ryuk says there is none. But then by the end we find he is a total liar on almost all accounts, so I guess I'm hedging my bets.

Death Notes don't work on owners of other Death Notes, this includes Shinigami and, I believe, yourself.

If you haven't seen the last episode and intend to at any point in the near future, don't read the spoiler'd information below.

Spoiler

Ryuk used a Death Note to kill Light at the end of the series. Technically, L was also a Death Note Owner but he was killed by Death Note as well. You just have to have the real name of the person, and their face.

That answers the above statement, though.

I'm pretty sure there's a rule saying that the time from when you right their name in the Death Note to them dying can be from 40 seconds to 2 weeks. I'm also pretty sure that you can't use it to kill yourself.

Again, spoiler'd, read at risk of knowing major plot information.

Spoiler

That was a rule Light made up before his incarceration so that it would prove his innocence. It was completely fake/planted in the book, and later debunked by an unknown Shinigami that lost his Death Note to Ryuk.

I thought that:

Spoiler

Light made up the rule that the owner of the death note would die if they hadn't written in the Death note for a set number of days. I thought he used it to escape suspicion when L incarcerated him and put him under 24 hour surveillence.
I also thought that one of the "proper" rules is that the person who writes the name in the Death Note can control the time and date of their date of death for up to a month after the victims name was written in the death note

I could be wrong though. I haven't seen "Death Note" in a while.

OT: I would be really boring and just walk past it if I saw it on the floor. I don't tend to pick up things that I find on the floor, unless it is money.

I might be wrong though. I haven't read or watched Death note in a while.

Well, that's where it gets a little complicated.

Spoiler

While it's never explicitly stated in the series, the supposed "23 day rule" isn't mentioned until after Light's incarceration, as far as I remember. Even aside from that, there is a proviso in there specifically for diseases(one of the reasons I find this rule to be so sketchy).

So since awesomeitis has a 60-80 year incubation period, I should be safe.

 

[Speedwagon]

Write down all the names of all people related to MTV and any "reality" show.

 

[magicmonkeybars]

Can I use it on myself, I can think up a pretty sweet death for myself and leave the world in wonder as to how I managed such a feat.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing it up. Like I said, it's been a while, and I can't say that I paid that much attention when I did read/watch it.

By the way, what are the symptoms for awesomeitis?

 

[Xenotechie]

Kill Osama Bin Laden and a few other guys,then lock this up,forget about the whereabouts of the key and put the box somewhere inconspicious.

 

[Xaio30]

Assuming there is an accompanying heaven and hell to the story, I would destroy the book and go to heaven after i die.

 

[Irriduccibilli]

I got a couple of "friends" I would "play" a little with. Something with them having to survive a plane crash and survive my drinking their own piss and eating each other, and just when help is about to arrive a little kid pisses my "friend" in the face and then he dies a slow painful death.
Yes, I hate him/them

 

[Garrsus]

use it to kill selected people, the people who think they are exempt from the human underclass and condescend to their hearts content.

 

[sageoftruth]

Before getting rid of it, I'd use it on the Phelps family, and have them halucinate God reprimanding them for their hateful behavior before they get said heart attacks. Any objections anyone?

 

[JasonBurnout16]

Kill anyone who is even slightly rude towards me - sure I'd be the number one suspect, but then I'd just kill them too.

I might go a little bit crazy
