    Darkstar's time machine that can only send stuff back to the time the machine is turned on has real potential. First of all it wipes out the need of going back to 4000 BC and messing with game history to the point that you need to replay it, ie sending a nuke back. If all that could be sent back is info, and only to the time of the creation of the machine, what good is that?

    Well...say we send a note back that the levy on lake Pontwhatever breaks at such and such a point wiping out New Orleans! Bet they send some guys out there with a bulldozer and fix it before it breaks...

    All of a sudden volcanos wouldn't blow without warning. One could build a city next to one without fear of it getting wiped if no note from the future shows up warning not to build it. How about no more AI surprise attacks? Or, alternately, having to provide an enemy with a time machine X amount of turns warning of an attack...

    Just food for thought, unless thought has become against the rules here at Poly. If so, so sorry, and may the thread nazis feel free to close this and abuse my upbringing or whatever.

      time can only focus on one stream. sending a note back would erase the 'stream' past that point and time would continue on,plus the note,and minus you in the future,who doesnt exist anymore

      i thought you would be perma banned by now

          I WAS perma banned, for calling Ming a gay ****. However I got a note in my time machine that warned me of the ban and so I never made the post! See how nice that works?

                    He may be a quadruple asterisk, but I've seen no indication that he's gay.
