The conclusion is that this is not possible given the comparatively tiny amount of starting resources you allow. If it were possible, some crazy guy would have done it already.
One actually practical way I have thought of is to invest the $99999999 until I get 100 billion dollars. I would tell 200 of the people to create meme campaigns online to redefine the word "year", and then tell the remaining 799 people to live normal lives while convincing everybody they meet to redefine the word "year". Then I would bribe various dictionaries, regulatory committees, governments and schools to redefine the word "year" to mean "a time period of 1 trillion rotations of the Earth around the sun", and use the word "kear" to mean 1 rotation of the earth around the sun. Then I have succeeded, because 99 trillion rotations of the Earth around the sun would be sufficient to see the entire population of the world wiped out through natural causes.
Mission accomplished :3

I don't think the resources are low if you consider having nearly 1000 fanatics under your command but destroying the world is impossible and retarded scenario.
I could start a war by having most of those 999 people commit acts of terror at once making my organization seem much larger than it is and thus recruiting more people.I could create another ISIS and possibly start civil wars in several European countries but it would end there.
I think that having 300 henchmen attack in 10 different countries in 30 different locations per country at once would make every European paranoid and hateful of muslims and brown people.I would then have 300 more henchmen all with schedule to attack in random locations 1 per day.That would make terrorism look like a daily future for Europeans.
I would then keep a few dozen henchmen around me as a spare and send the others to found their own terror groups cutting off all communication with them to avoid being discovered as a ring leader.
While everyone would be doing things for me I would enjoy opening up legal businesses and expanding my wealth without any threat of being stopped.
OP here.

Good try, but you actually failed the mission, quoting from rule 2:
>You must kill at least 99% of human population directly or indirectly.
you didn't kill anybody, waiting is not killing, also the nanochan Humanity Destruction Committee doesn't accept you definition of a year(regardless of what you convinced earth citizen of) therefore you also broke the 99 years time limit. Investing the money to get more resources was a good idea, it is definitely possible to do it with the provided resources, try again.

Cool but the problem is that only the original 999 provided persons are gonna follow your orders blindly, you sent most of them to commit terrorist act so let's say that all of them die cause they are unexperienced(i don't provide military trained people), so now you have few people, for sure less than the 600 you use after, and even if you send the remainant to recruit(rules allows it as long as they are not under your direct command) why should people follow them?
Hard mode rules
Nukes doesn't work anymore.
Humans develop a strong resistance against every kind of known and unknown bacteria and virus.

>directly or indirectly
Spending billions of dollars on forcibly redefining a year causes a butterfly effect which will affect the course of the future. Therefore, anything I do is going to indirectly kill more than 99% of the human population. Checkmate OP.
>it is definitely possible
Then go convince some random billionaire to do it IRL, if you think it's so easy. It's easy to cause a lot of damage, but absolutely not easy to wipe out 99% of the human population.
>999 provided persons are gonna follow your orders blindly
Then I'll just tell one of them to blow up the whole galaxy. They will follow the orders, and since following the order requires the blowing-up of the galaxy, the galaxy (containing Earth) will be blown up, and mission accomplished. Checkmate OP.

Even with nukes it's virtually impossible to kill that many people, unless we nuke literally every nook and cranny, thus ensuring both radioactive poisoning of the planet and murder of humans.
And without some miracle tech, it's unlikely that viruses and bacteria can even put a dent in the human immunity system.
The best method the humanity has ever attempted at disposing of each other was still direct genocide, I believe. You HAVE TO seek and destroy everybody who runs away, and there is no shame in running away if you don't know what hits you. xD
Other methods include tricking people into killing themselves or putting themselves in danger. And well, I believe 99 years is too short to brainwash people THAT hard. I mean, it's at LEAST 3 generations, i.e 60 years just to get rid of dangerous to our cause information, and nations don't get dissolved that easily. I've heard the number of 200 years, that's how long national mentality holds, like, at least. And there have always been rather contagious ideas about just going into the wild and live a simple/more virtuous life. People would flee from the big cities in a jiffy if not for the oppurtunities cities provide. Also if you are an immigrant, most probably some city would be your first stop.
So, the only conceivable reason that might just do it includes some miracle tech incredibly powerful weapon with a fairly high entry gap, meaning even little mistakes will make shit go kaboom.
Other than that, 999 incompetent fanatics will do you no good, unless you're some kind of genius. If you are though, you would have to establish some sort of a nation that hates everybody and wants the planet for themselves. Then, if and when they succeed at killing everyone else, you might just have it: under 70 million people, which would mean the task is complete. If not, you would have to impose low birth rates policy on them or some shit.
The second plan is obviously bad, because it has too many "ifs" without any backup plan, and also it would probably take much longer than 99 years.

Take the Dan Brown's Inferno option: create a virus that makes people infertile. The metabolic pathways that cause infertility are well understood already. I saw a video where a guy created a virus to cure his lactose intolerance (apparently this increases cancer risk, but from our viewpoint that's bonus). So I would use the $1e8-1 to hire a team of bio grads to research CRISPR shit for me, then turn it into a live virus that I would unleash on the world. By the time anyone noticed what was happening, they would all be incapable of reproducing naturally. There would presumably be a few holdouts that escaped the virus, and they might figure out a way of reproducing in the lab, but there would be so few babies that in 99 years we would be well below the 99% threshold.
>>11268
assuming that just making people infertile doesn't count as killing, and also given that we don't have viruses anymore, this becomes a lot harder. We have time though. I would put my fanatics through university programs, and have them seek out jobs at top corporations. If one of them got into a hiring position, they would hire all my other guys to get them good credentials and references, before they applied to higher positions. I would have politicians, business leaders, and military commanders all under my command.
So we have control of a sizable fraction of the worlds capital and military. We can't use it to nuke people, but they also can't nuke us. We would wait for a trade dispute to use as an excuse to invade. We would instruct the media to tell people why this is a good and just war. Then we would send drones and soldiers to all countries in the world to destroy infrastructure, raze crops, and kill people. As they strike back, we would take the opportunity to eliminate political opponents, and fuel fervour in our people. Because of our military strength and the surprise of our attack, our society would still be functioning, and our people still alive. Coupled with the ongoing war and terrible state of the rest of the world, our economy would boom.
There would be dissidents, who would try to start a revolution. This would be allowed to continue, dividing the country into half. Both halves would be controlled by my people. Alas, the weaker half would necessarily fall under my might, cheered on by the brainwashed fanatics in the stronger half. Then another revolution, slowly picking away at the size of the empire. There might still be people all around the world, living in bunkers, feeding on moss. These would be the 1% of remaining people.
Wait for revelation to actually happen God shall show the reprobates his wrath.

Todays nano's objective is to destroy the world, discuss how you would do it.
Rules and conditions:
It has to be possible with our current understanding of physics.
You must kill at least 99% of human population directly or indirectly.
The technology you can use is limited to the current year.
You start with a budget of 99999999$.
The number of people under your command can be no more than 999 persons.
You must destroy the world in no more than 99 years.
Everything else is permitted.
