I am a time traveler from the future
 

Greetings all,

Mi name is Daniel Trofe and I am from the year 2342. I have traversed the great temporal barrier to conduct reserch in your time period. If you have any questions you wish to ask about the future then pleese feal frea to do so.



The Light be with you

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

I know I'm going to be an awesome samurai in the future but my question to you is, what kind of material my katana will be made of?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

I would have hoped spelling standards for the future would be better.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

My apologies, attempts were made in the year 2058 to make English easier to learn through certain grammatical changes. I will attempt to adjust to your manner of writing.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

What grammatical changes?


Ebonics?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Please understand I am not the best student of history, however if I remember correctly it had something to do with the increasing rate of immigration into the Americas and the desire to integrate foreigners as easily as possible.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Greetings Sony,

You will be pleased to know there are still individuals in my time who follow the art of the Samurai. Please forgive my ignorance of metallurgy, but I know that at least a few blades are comprised of a Titanium-Aluminum alloy but I do not know if that applies to traditional katanas as well. A few manufactures produce blades coated with synthetic diamond, similar to the process described in another thread I viewed here.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

How is the internet (or similar system) in your time?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

The best way I could describe it would be to say that it is much more cohesive and pervasive in our lives than in this time period. In fact the term "internet" doesn't truly apply to what we have, however the name has stuck to this day. Almost 30% of the population carry subdermal microchips which convey infomation to a neuro-optical output device. There is some speculation we may one day have the ability to recreate these devices using biological material, and then perhaps encode them in our DNA so that future generations are born with the technology. There is a lot of resistance and controversy surrounding this issue however.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Sounds like a remarkable contrivance you have there. Since I shall not live to that time do you recall what sort of advancements in the field were made up to around 2050? And when did time travel become readily available?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

I believe the basic architecture of the internet did not begin to truly evolve until the year 2080 or so with the advent of quantum computing. Once we learned how to store information with individual electrons it opened up whole new areas of advancement. Computers became so interrelated with regards to their circuity and their wireless communication abilities that it became difficult to determine where one computer ended and the other began.

:p ;) :D :cool: I like these "Smilies." You'll be happy to know we have types of them in the future as well.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

I hate you. Someone please end this crap. Oh wait, I can.

CLOSED.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Seeing as how this thread is back in action, I shall continue with questioning.


Have you contacted any of your ancestors since you've been back? Or would that be against the rules of time travel?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Wow, I never meant to cause trouble here. The last thing I want is to interfere with the normal happenings of this board. I would get into so much trouble if I altered your normal paths through life by any appreciable manner. I am glad I will get to stay here and visit with you a few more days. It would set me back quite a bit if I had to abandon this line of research.

To answer your question deejzguy, it is not against the rules to contact your ancestors per se, but it would require special permission. We are not allowed to contact ancestors for personal reasons alone, rather we must prove that such an action would be necessary for our research. As you can imagine this is an extremely rare occurence, however that has not dissuaded certain individuals for devising all manner of clever reasons why they need to contact a relative.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

So what is the nature of your reasearch?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Great Scalar:

Tell me, has the human race discovered or been discovered by life elsewhere in the stars? And how are the animals? Have they been taken care of or have more gone extinct. Please take me back with you. I wish to inform your people of the days of yesteryear.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

What made you decide to choose our forum for this?

And how do we know that you really are from the future and not just GM?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

first thing i thought when i read the first post:

"GM is at it again."




but just to humour you, when was time travel readily available? as Teuthida already mentioned.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

2342?

I thought the world would've ended earlier.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Who will win the world series this year? Also, what happens when we run out of oil and Natural gas?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

who is going to the superbowl this year?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

I am here to study the way in which people interact with each other in a digital setting (I'm a sociologist by trade). GameTavern is the perfect sized community for my thesis.

The manner in which people communicate with each other has changed greatly over the generations as has the general family structure. We don't have families the way you guys do. Instead we live in communities of anywhere from 100-1000 people. That's not to say that traditional familes are totally extinct, rather they are no longer the norm. I have a theory on how this happened and I am visiting your time period to gather support.

We have not yet been discovered by other forms of life, at least not to our knowledge. Who knows who may be listening to our radio signals though right? We did discover microbes within the liquid ocean of Europa, and we have gathered convincing evidence that life once existed on Mars.

As far as the animals go, I know that species go extinct every day. The only significant extinctions include humpback whales and a certain kind of owl. I am afraid I cannot take you back with me even if I wanted to. The pod only has room for one.

I believe the first trips for research purposes were taken 15-20 years ago. It's not readily available in that not just anyone can hop into a pod and take a jaunt whenever they feel like it. You have to apply and be accepted to take a trip.

I don't follow sports, but I couldn't tell you even if I knew. We haven't run out of oil yet, but it is not used for energy the way it is in your time. 100 years ago the first fusion reactors came online which took a lot of pressure off the oil/gas industry.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Guys, I just ran a systems check on my pod and afterwards I smelled something burning. I'm getting really scared because I don't have a lot of technical knowledge on how this thing works. :help:

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Does it not come with a manual?

For all purposes it would be smart if it came with one, for this kind of situation.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

I have my money on the Astros, I don't know if the white sox can pull it off.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Have you met John Titor?

Is the son of a bitch telling the truth?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Well 2005 is almost over and there hasn't been a civil war yet. Plus the dates time travel became available don't match between the time travelers. We may have the genuine traveler here.

Scalar2342, would be be possible to show us pictures of your pod?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

yes, i'm wondering that too...

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Who is John Titor?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

John Titor was the name of a purported time traveller from the year 2036. He posted on several time travel-related Internet bulletin boards during 2000/2001, making many vague and seemingly falsifiable predictions about events in the near future and giving an explicit, detailed account of his supposed native time period. Whether or not John Titor was a hoax is a topic of controversy on web-based paranormal discussion boards.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

What, is something wrong with your Flux Capacitor?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

What happened to our time traveler? Did he die while working on his pod?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

AHHHH!!!!! I've been ****ing sabotaged by that ******* son of a bitch Adrian! That asshole just wanted me out of the way because he likes my girlfriend! **** **** ****ing **** this ****ing sucks I can't ****ing believe this. I'm ****ing stranded in this **** hole time period. He even left me a *******ed calling card so I would know it was his sorry ass that did this to me. What the holy living **** am I supposed to do now?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Here's an idea, STFU and get used to it. Or better yet, sell the technology and make yourself rich.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Can you call the future with that calling card?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

HAHA who's laughing now, you punk-ass bitch! I used the remaining functional components to hack your board!

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

:errr: sweet jesus

Re: I am a time traveler from the future

Great Scalar:

As our new leader, please spare my life and appoint me as your pleasure slave. I assure you that while my performances may not send you through time, they will be mind blowing.

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 

Isn't this considered tampering with the past?
