Yes, I agree with serbsta. Could you imagine the world of today with an actual God watching over and noticably changing it?
Also "Worlds where you kill and torture people of any age or gender for fun " What?!?
I would try to preserve the human experience as wholly as I can. I might even live on Earth acting as a normal human, to gain perspective.

If part of my gained ability as a God allowed me to create others on equal footing as I, then perhaps I would do such. But even then I am worried that those other Gods I create would only be inspired by however deep my own pool of creativity is.

your love to waht is fake is of that god who kill all the relations of objective reality with objective truth life principal source of reality to appear the only living source
whatever you enjoy it is nothing but what you are and it doesnt matter to anyone else and objectively you are just limited to that fact even if it is god

But you did not answer the guy's question fully. Which really is, would you kill others to gain that godhood, if you could do what you wanted in that world, even create random people and things? Would you?

The way I see it, if I killed off every other human being on Earth then I would become a God by default, but only among other species. I base this on a human's capabilities of using tools and having the intelligence to do such.
But the question specifically asked about becoming a God of my own reality, not of the universe. Because of that stipulation I'm having a hard time believing that I am capable of "random" manifestation of anything. The "random" I would be capable of would only be random within the parameters of my idea of reality.
If I have 100 bricks I can only randomly rearrange those 100 bricks in a finite number of ways. Sure that number is a huge, but those 100 bricks are all I know and have to work with. If someone else was given this opportunity, they might only have 90 bricks, or perhaps 150 because of what they know and how they've been molded by the reality they've already experienced. They'll end up with other brick configurations.
If those bricks represent all of what I know of reality, I just can't see how I could create more bricks. That means knowing something I don't know, and never would know because nothing new was introduced to make me know it or ever get anywhere near knowing it.
In other words, the only way something truly random could be created is if I didn't know the parameters the randomness would be contained in. Everything I come up with would be based off of something. Nothing would be new, just derived from old. I wouldn't be able to think outside my box, even if the box were expanded by my Godhood.
If I were privy to all boxes, and had the ability to create unique boxes, I'd be God of the Universe.
But because I'd only be God of my reality, I refuse the offer. I rather know about the other boxes then be confined to my own. :p
