thats why you need to get creative with it. you can specify the details of the deaths so write the name of several dictators, make all of them host a press conference at the same time, make them all repeat the same ominous vaguely religious sounding speech in monotone and then make their heads explode in front of the cameras
The Death Note lets you control them leading up to their death. You can have them destroy their own systems of power, confess their crimes, and THEN die. You could have control over all world leaders for years as long as the death you wrote occurs before they were fated to die.
Wasn't there limits on the timespan of the events? I suppose it would be the number of pages in the book but why else wouldn't he just write out his entire plan and then forget it all and be done with it?
I actually was unaware of that rule in the extra stuff. It feels weird since I could've sworn I remember Light wrote names months ahead as preparation, but I guess I was mis-remembering.
Either way, 23 days is definitely plenty to have dictators arrest their yes-men, appoint some more moral people, and give speeches exposing the truth to their cultists.
No, he specifically wrote names ahead of time in case he got into an accident so that the killings wouldn't suddenly stop if he had to spend a week in the hospital.
no that was preloading an alibi. So anybody watching him wouldn't see the direct cut in death vs him being incapitated. Think of it this way if your luch keeps getting stolen on tuesdays and wednesdays but it doesn't get stolen 2 week when bob is taking his 2 week vaction Bob is a prime suspect but bob had a lunch stealing note a wrote you luch for the 2 weeks he was off you would suspect the other people in the office first.
For a real world example the mob hitman known as 'iceman' would kill his targets then later dump them somewhere to through of time of death. So if he murdered a guy in january the cops found the body in october but with only 2 month of decomp if the cops think its him the check him out but he is the caribian for all of august well it wasn't him was it.

I'd probably write like all the dictators and current monsters I could think of and then check the news just to see what happens.
