Death Note

Once word got out that it was contagious? You're relying on the medical community to keep calm as people are dying. People will still be dying even after the doctors "calm" everyone. People won't believe it isn't being spread simply because the medical community claims it isn't.

Right, people will believe their own eyes and news reports.  The medical community's assurances will fall on deaf ears and the ensuing panic will result in even more deaths.

Wouldn't people see it for themselves?  If your neighbor got it, but no one else in the neighborhood got it, what's that going to make you think?  And that would be the case all over.  That's the problem with choosing random victims.  You would have to eliminate entire cities.  Like all of Chicago or New York.  That would make it seem like it's super contagious.  Not just random occurences all over the world that don't seem to spread to the surrounding people. 

Again, this would probably be labeled as a terrorist attack.

My scenario is just as valid as yours.  And yours is based on the guess that everyone is going to **beast** over this.  The problem is that it wouldn't be a large epidemic.  It would take you years and years and years to write the millions upon millions of names necessary to start causing real global panic.  You would need to affect millions at once to scare people.  Something you couldn't do.  How many name do you think you could write in a day?  1000?  2000?  You could never write names non-stop and you'd have to find these names.  Even if you did manage 1000 in a day, globally, that's nothing.

You don't think an illness that keeps killing people over many years won't cause any panic. I told you, I don't have a concrete plan yet. It's hard to formulate one when I don't know how the rules of the death note hinder deaths by disease.

This plan wouldn't be stated until I found that out and got bored testing the notebook. But I know this, it wouldn't be a death here and there. It would be many deaths localized to begin with before it spreads across the world.

Not unless the number of people infected at once was a very large number.  A small number of people at once, even if it lasted decades wouldn't get the desired effect. 

Like I said, you would have to kill entire cities in a very short time, a task that would take years just for that one city.  And then you'd have to "spread" the disease to an even larger amount of people in an even faster time limit.  It's not feasible.  You'd do better trying something else.

And if you really want to cause anarchy, just let the world progress the way it is.  It will get bad in our lifetimes.  At least America, Europe, and the Middle East.
