What would you do if you knew for certain that Light was Kira? (Like you happened to be on the bus that day going to the theme park, or a similar scenario, and through sheer coincidence got enough pieces of the puzzle to figure it all out.) Would you try to convince police? Confront him directly? Try to blackmail him? Leave things well enough alone?

Well I, first of all, would be overjoyed.
1) Yay, it's Light!
2) I figured it out before L!!!

Hmm..and after that I'd leave the situation alone, but being alot more friendly towards him probably. AFter Misa enters the scene (I see her walking to his house or something. Yay, I rule! XD) I wait until she leaves,then begin to formulate a plan to steal her Death Note. Which is that as she leaves, I walk up to Light's house and pass her. I pretend to talk to her and I say that I'm Light's current girlfriend and al, and that Misa should find a new one because he's just playing her. She'll run off angry and either take out the eath Note, which then I'll steal it, or call Light. If she calls Light, which I'll notice by her taking out her phone (I'm following her by the way XD) and quickly call him faster. After she can't reach him (I'll make sure he doesn't answer the other line) she'll pull out the Death Note and I'll swipe it from her hands (I rule).

After recieveing the Death Note I promise to Rem as long as Rem transfers ownership of the Death Note to me, I won't kill Misa.

Yayz!

If I put the pieces together and discovered that Light was Kira, I would either make it known to him that I know his secret and try to get on his good side or..... ahahaha, well I'd take other matters. Either way, if I discovered Kira's identity, I would kill Light at some point so that I could have the power for myself. Hey, I am a supporter of Light and I hold him in much higher regard than the rest of the cast but only I can create MY WORLD and Light would only get in the way. My ego is rather tempered compared to his but an alliance would be almost out of the question and following him would be absurd. Simply, I don't roll that way. Its like this; if I feel that I am better suited to lead the new world than Light is, I would crush him as soon as the opportunity presents itself. If I don't have the resources to crush Light, I would still make it happen because the yearning in My heart for My world is more powerful than his. I do support Light but honestly, he would perish in the flames of the phoenix. And if L got in my way, he would rest forever in absolute zero.

[Shinami]

I see where your usrename came from...*laughs*

Oh, and what is Your World? Like, what kind of place would it be?

[KingThomas]

I'd go on saukra tv and start spout Light's secreats to the world witholding jsut enough information so L wouldn't know it was Light. Or maybe just go have lunch I hope Light wins but I don't want L to die. It's hard to choose sides.

If I knew I wouldn't tell the police.I would let him keep on killing the criminals.In a way he was doing a good thing but I guess all the power went to his head.

Quite simply the one flaw inherent in the NoteBook is the one that everyone seems to overlook the easiest... It's too freaking powerful!!!!

Think about it this way... let's say I play Devil's Advocate (good movie, BTW) and utilize the NoteBook for my own purposes. No matter what measures I take to protect it, it could never be truly secure. And the only place I can trust securing it appropriately, would be at my own residence, as that's the only true safe place. (Light using a lockbox, though necessary was one of the biggest blunders of all time; someone's unwanted gaze will always linger on the forbidden. An especially astute worker at that bank or whatever may notice the odd activity surrounding a little black book in the lockbox... nothing will keep out the curious, I assure you.)

So, in keeping it at my residence, where only I have access, a number of readily apparent problems arise. #1: Natural disasters... need I say more? (Fire included.)

#2: Robbery. Yeah, genius I am, I keep the DeathNote with all my other freaking personal info...
Uh, yeah... good call that.

So if there's always the possibility of someone getting the NoteBook from me, I might as well sell to the highest bidder, right? Well... no. Unlike a Nuclear Weapon, I can't exactly control what happens after I sell the DeathNote. At least with a Nuke, I know where not to move. But even if you move to another planet, there's no escaping the DeathNote. Thanks, I'll pass.

Ultimately, my argument on the DN is that whether you have it or not, you're pretty much potentially screwed. Having observed Light using it before the fake rules were written in it... I'd had burned it.
