Death Notes

How would you avoid getting caught? And how would you catch the owner?

Only way you’d not get caught is to pretend you didn’t have it, don’t change your browsing habits at all for months (because it would trigger flags at analytical firms) and eventually switch to open source software to avoid being tracked.

Go full Richard Stallman.

how the hell that nigga get caught with a book that kills people. Nigga got into the top schools but got caught when all he had to do was write down names. Smh

Well first of all I memorise and rip out all the rules of the book. Whenever I have pages with names written on them I wipe my ass with them then flush them down the toilet.

Joke's on L, I never watch the news, so I wouldn't fall for his "false L" trick early on.

You would get the most agonizing papercuts if you wiped your ass with regular paper.

Bear with me here for a second.

How the fuck would you ever get caught unless you were actively trying? Here, let me give you an example. Right now, at this moment, I write down the name of every world leader at once. Bam, they all die.

Where do you start? How do you find the perpetrator?

I would only kill 5 people a week at most, trying not to make any detectable patterns (kill people at different times/days). If I can kill people with cancer I'll do that, no one is gonna investigate cancer as a crime.
Put it in a fake boring textbook cover or something in case people come over.

To find someone with the notebook, well what L was doing in the beginning of show was genius with the broadcasts (he ruined it by giving away his whole plan but w.e), but that wouldn't work in the modern age.
I'd try to find the first use of the Death Note and get info on anyone in that neighborhood during that time. People who might've had a motive to kill would then be monitored and when there's a pattern of someone looking up people on the internet and them dying shortly after, we've found our light.

Have you actually watched or read Death Note? They quite specifically go over this.

They can't catch me if I'm in the death note.

I'd start off by only killing Jews

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying Light was a moron because he did everything he could to stand out. If you had the Note and you didn't make a show of it, NO-ONE would find you, ever.

That's easy, just write names without being attention whore and exposing yourself, live a normal life while you're rotten to the root and dead inside.

You say this, but it could actually be a fairly compelling angle for a sequel: a supremacist of some kind finds the note, takes it as divine sanction that his worldview is correct, and starts attempting to genocide an ethnicity. That shit would have serious repercussions. What percentage of people embrace the new Kira's ideology? What measures do the targeted ethnicities take to protect themselves? (constant mask-wearing, etc.) How does the L-equivalent track the killer down, etc., etc.

>How would you avoid getting caught?
Realism.
>And how would you catch the owner?
Anime powers.

A highschooler getting the Death Note was a bad idea, or at least a supposedly smart high schooler who goes on to just write the names of any random criminal ever.

> how to catch
you catch them the exact same way you catch anyone else killing huge swaths of people they need to first personally identify.

how would you get the names of criminals then

Use online news from various countries to kill various criminals. Way harder to narrow specific areas down that the "tv broadcasts in specific areas have different death row inmates die" shtick they pull

Kill only people you know and when they suspect you kill yourself.

Write my own name. If I kill myself, I win.

Actually remain anonymous instead of trying to become a godlike figure. Don't kill some guy on a live broadcast announcing to the world that there is in fact someone out there with supernatural powers. If they start catching on, use criminals to throw them off and think it's some secret society killing people.

If I recieved a book claiming that it could kill people, I'd pick the name of some people in their 60s or 70s and kill them with varying means to test the book.

Then once I'm confident in the book's ability to do as it says. I'll go to the library or some place where I can access the internet without having to identify myself and just spend as much time as I need to all the names of people I want to kill and write them all down at once.(make multiple visits but not all in the same place if I have to)
Having the deaths occur months after I initially wrote them down, not all on the same day but over the course of weeks or months depending on the amount of people I would like to kill.

Follow the principles of INFOSEC used by intelligence agencies and not have a full retard moment that Light had when he took the bait from L to expose his location.

death note is terrible, light is a cunt, series is written by fucking brainlets, and monster is infinitely better than this pile of shit

Sup Forums is full of sociopaths and psychos

Don't get caught by actually coming up with creative ways of killing instead of just heart attacks.

How would I catch the owner? Hope it's a fucking retard like Light is.

BUT HE'S A GENIOUS IN JAPAN, boy if he's a genious then Japan is in some serious fucking trouble.

the irony of this post

It was great till L died. After L it was trash.

In the real world it would be impossible to catch a death note user that didn't want to be caught.

By not being an arrogant cunt while using it. Given that you can specify the circumstances of the deaths, I would make them appear at random times with a variety of reasons. If the user is careful enough, there is no way I could catch them.

just to be safe you should kill them in a spawn of 23 days like in the first day dies one the at the second 2 at different hours and so on and so forth, you will be out of charts cuz obviously people would be guessing who is going to die next but you already wrote them from day one

>how to avoid getting caught
Simple, ignore media attention regarding yourself entirely.

Just do your research on other people's computers, use VPNs at home, use old software/hardware, ect.
Write down hundreds of names at a time, set them to die at random dates in the future with no real pattern. "X will die of a heart attack on 2/17/2019" "Y will die of a heart attack on 4/25/2019" "Z will die of a heart attack on 7/12/2020"

Being maximum NEET means nobody will ever find the notebook, and hardly anyone will even know you exist to begin with. People will take the constant death of random assholes as some sort of divine karma.
Set like, 1000 well known people to die all at once on the same day one time for shits and giggles. People will take it as solid proof of god.
You could send messages too, have certain high profile people die in a very specific way, like getting torn in half due to being hit by a car. The first letter of each person's name can spell out a message, and anyone paying attention will notice the pattern. Use it to troll people by leaving retarded messages and starting a cult.

It's just a thought experiment about some stupid magic.

Kill famous criminals, it's literally impossible to narrow down the search.

Then you start to feel like a god and try killing someone nearby, let say your neighbour, for minor offense.

You could just give them cancer or something. Make them fall off a ladder or die in a car crash.
If you stick to pretty much one or two things for your mass-killing, anything else won't get looked at.

i'd just kill facebook people

Power corrupts, that what's I'm trying to say.

What's there to corrupt?
I'd just be killing people i don't like.

That's the point, though. Light was a genius, but his massive ego/god complex fucked him over multiple times

You're literally saying stuff like this because you don't like the thought of an user never getting caught.

Monster spends more than half its episodes trying to convince the viewer that Dr. Tenma is not the killer by having everyone that interacts with Dr. Tenma say "I don't think he has it in him"

Don't kill people for speaking out against me. What would L do if the Lind L. Tailor bait failed?

>What would L do if the Lind L. Tailor bait failed?
Keep trying because he's a stubborn autist who hates losing? This was made clear enough, maybe DN critics prefer jerking themselves off and writing self-insert fanfics to paying attention. If L existed and cared enough, every faggot on this board would get caught in no time.

Go to a deserted isolated island with a TV. Write down the names of all the criminals I see from the TV. Hide the Death note in my ass if anyone manages to find the island

No one's here is a sociopath user

that sounds like something a sociopath would say, user

sacrifice for the cause.

Never underestimate an autist.

But then, who would lead Canada?

>how to not get caught
Obviously I'd only kill one person
Oda, after I make him burn all of his work.

You can't get caught if you just sit down and write random names. Light may have been a genius sure, but only got caught because he directly went against L like a sperg. If you were to honestly write names in your home all day there is no way you would get caught.

Him getting caught was a contrivance of the show - it wouldn't happen. It happened on the show because that was the point of the show. He got caught and it was a "suspenseful close chase" because the writers demanded it and created it that way.

>How would you avoid getting caught?
By not being an attention whore like Light.

Kill myself, easy peasy lemon squeezy

Make the deaths have no pattern, just write random dates.
use literally anything except heart attacks, accidents that everyone knows could happen.
i mean, tripping and hitting your head on the sidewalk sounds random enough.

I'd make it a lot more final destination-like, and try to make it funny
>Xi Jinping trips, slams his head into a lamp post and dies of internal bleeding in public
>Merkel dies of explosive diarrhea while addressing parliament
Mostly to see journalists try to keep their cool while reporting it and reactions on Sup Forums

I get that reference

Just don't have people die of heart attacks. There are also news apps for dissidents in shit countries with censorship that route everything trough tor.

Some guy wrote a pretty detailed account of what Light did wrong and how somebody who doesn't want to get caught should act.

>You would get the most agonizing papercuts if you wiped your ass with regular paper.
>confirmed for never living in the soviet states

I bet you can't even imagine wiping your ass with the an empty toilet paper roll, you bourgeois kosmopolit.

>Mistake 4: Light’s fourth mistake was to use confidential police information stolen using his policeman father’s credentials. This mistake was the largest in bits lost. This mistake cost him 11 bits of anonymity; in other words, this mistake cost him twice what his scheduling cost him and almost 8 times the murder of Tailor!
The worst part is that this was INTENTIONAL. Light wanted L and the police to know he had access to police information because he wanted to drive a wedge between them. Except that by doing that he was completely sacrificing his anonynous advantage. If he hadn't done that, L would have never ever been able to catch Light since all he would have to go on is that Kira lives in Kanto and is probably a high school student, which leaves millions of suspects and no way to narrow them down. It clearly wasn't worth it.

I would only use it for personal gain anyway, basically use it as little as possible so I don't trigger any police investigations, when I suddenly profits from other peoples deaths

My dad isn't a cop so I would never be suspected and followed by the CIA

I wouldn't kill the CIA guys if they where to suspect me.

I would write the names of my entire family and all involved police officers in the deathnote and try to kill L in a traditional way. Burn down the hotel and fake my own death somehow. -then leave the country with fake passport

Also I would fuck Misa all the time and probably start to love her.

Its easy to not get caught literally just don't do what L did. Its infinitely more likely that someone would stumble onto it then some detective tracking you down.

I would kill tons of celebritys and e-celebritys

people always forget that killing bad guys was not his main goal, it was to become a godlike figure. You can't make people see you as a god if you hide from a challenge(L)

oh, okkay this is actually happening.
I'm just gonna say that I share some of Light's mental conditions.. : )

Also, I would hang with Ryuk because he seems like a chill guy.
Kill a bunch of niggers for financial profit, get into agriculture, buy an apple fruitfarm and actually take it seriously, hire people and so on.

you're a loser who, despite the world handing him everything, manages to fuck everything up?

That's correct, up to now I was able to fuck up 99.9% of the things I've done.
But, although I know all this I refuse to change my self due to a superiority complex.
Superiority complex that started developing when I was 13 and finally puberty hit me, and man, puberty hit me like a truck set on fire, that was carrying TNT.
So i just started to give punches back, until everyone else stopped punching me in the first place.
From that point on, i just thought of my self as an immortal demigod (saddly this is no bullshit) and everyone around me said that i was right, so did fed my ego much more than necessary.

that's the Synthesys of my past 7 years or so.

*this fed my ego

>up to now I was able to fuck up 99.9% of the things I've done.
>that's the Synthesys of my past 7 years or so.
>Synthesys
At least you're keeping your stats up.

>synthesys

yeah sorry, english is not my first language

Write names as much as possible, makes them to riot in the public and kill each other, including their's family and innocent civilians, with exception to not kill me. Once the governments are panicking, write names of governments as much as possible and make them to write a death letter including the following text: "This country has no hope."; and make them to jump off of tall building.

Well, that should be enough, police would be full of confusion and busy dealing the riot and governments killing themself, while I'm hiding somewhere safe and wait until they finished killing each other.

Why would I use a book that sends its users soul to purgatory or whatever? Theres no benefit to the death note when eternal damnation is guaranteed anyway.

You're probably a miserable person destined for hell anyway, Purgatory is a step up.

shots fired

You guys act like you'd be invincible just by not trying to stand out and killing at random times. In reality internet, tv, anything you'd use to get the names and faces of criminals is tracked and could be traced back to you by comparing which criminals die. Even if you used a public library or mcdonalds wifi there's ways of finding out who was there at certain time. The detectives could even use a more subtle form of the Lind L. Tailor bait by only showing information about a few criminals to certain ISP ranges. Not to mention which criminals you kill matters - now I'm sure most of you realize not to kill predominantly from your own country but you might not even be able to find information on foreign criminals in English easily.

If Kira appeared in 2018 he would almost certainly be caught eventually. There's not enough privacy in this world to think otherwise.

I can't bear your reddit spacing. please go to >>>r/anime/

Ryuk did say that the mortal who uses the notes will be in extreme anguish.

Assuming the DN user is creative (but not TOO creative) with how people die, it may take a while before authorities realize there even is a pattern. That gives the DN user a headstart, as long as they don't go trying to prove godhood and show off like Light did.

Who's to say you have to kill criminals?

Pretty simple really. Say to misa: "I'll love you if you stop talking".
Then show all the compassion you need so long as she's quiet.

Bam, Light never gets caught.

>live a normal life while you're rotten to the root and dead inside
But most of us here already do this

I would kill people from all over the world from the start, at totally ramdon times, my sleep schedule is already fucked up anyway. I would stick to boring and common death causes. Wouldn't kill cops nor anyone involved in the investigation. Keep Ryuk drunk on cider 24/7.

>Also I would fuck Misa all the time
This guy gets it

I'm italian, these spaghetti cops wouldn't arrest me even if i meticulously showed all the thing.

i'd just kill any important people i heard or read about in passing. random celebrity did something and normalfags are annoyingly buzzing about it? dead. Trump ate ice cream? dead. Anno released 4.0? dead.

>How would you avoid getting caught?
By not using it 500 times a day like a retard?
>And how would you catch the owner?
Same as L did.... except if he isn't a retard

>Kill a bunch of niggers for financial profit
What would be the ideal route to make money off the note? Blackmail doesn't seem very wise.

If I was the detective and discovered that the killer needed someone's name..
I'd discuss this with the goverment and have everyone's official name changed to a secret new one.
Everyone would get a letter in the mail with their new random "official" name with instructions not to tell anyone.

Considering you can manipulate the targets last actions you could probably use it to manipulate the stock market to some degree, eventually you could just have someone transfer their money to you before they die.

I wouldn't use it at all.
Im not that naive to believe that you can eliminate crime by killing random criminals you see on tv.

And if you really want to use it for shit and giggles, and avoid getting caught, you can pretty much do the same shit protagonist did in anime, because IRL we dont have this magic level deduction specialists that pull one shit after another out of their asses for plot reasons, and noone can really catch you.

Simply list "disease" as the cause and you wont have to think about randomising shit and you can also influence the victims actions for a while.

A better question is, how stupid do you have to be to get caught?

By saying you own it on Sup Forums.

Extremely. It wasn't enough for light to have the power of death, he had to become the god of the new world. Despite having a super high IQ, and being really clever, Light was a fucking idiot. Not only did he make it known there was a killer, he fell for multiple baits to get him to react to provocation, even got himself closer and closer to the people trying to find him, simply leading himself closer and closer to being found.

Had he just written that people get beaten to death in prison, or raped to death in prison, or whatever that seemed like a believable thing. then he would have never been caught or even noticed.

Yeah, everything that went wrong with Light's plan stems from his initial hubris.

It wasn't enough to just kill well known criminals. He wanted to be viewed as a god, and killed Lind L Tailor to send a message.

If he had just kept his head down and didn't bother taking the offensive with L or the FBI they never would have found him.

But then Ryuk would get bored with Light and would end up killing him earlier than intended.
