Time Travel Offer
Hi there GLP.

I have an offer for those of you who are interested.

I have access to a time travel device and I am offering to take others across time to escape the current situation.

As most of you are aware, GLP was mostly just predicting doom for years with no actual real doom ever really coming true as predicted...until more recently.

Now, the exact opposite seems to be true. Nobody can predict what is going to happen in advance, but every day doom seems to actually be here more and more.

I see thread after thread here talking about folks wanting to get the fuck out while they still can since the shit has been hitting the fan for some time now but nobody knows where the hell to go since every place seems to be suffering the same fate as every other place, just to mildly differing degrees.

There may not be any place to relocate to that is a sure thing and even if there is, nobody knows where that would be and when you would have to be there by.

However, there are a couple of solutions if you have access to a time travel device.

You could either go back in time to a period before the shit hit the fan and relax for a while knowing what may happen in advance to some degree...it will never be exactly the same because your presence in the past will alter the future to some degree most likely, but it should be similar if you lay low and stay out of the limelight.....

Or....you could go forward in time and take your chances at either dealing with a future utopia or dystopia depending on where things might be headed for you in your timeline.

I have enough space for any number of people and I don't expect to fill up because undoubtedly, most of you won't even believe this is a real offer since time travel doesn't exist yet to your knowledge.

I will remind you of a conversation between Kyle Reese and Sarah Conner in Terminator 1.

"I'm not stupid Reese. I know things like that haven't been invented yet."

"Not for about 30 years."

In other words, time travel does not need to be invented yet in your time to be hypothetically available in any time period a person from a future where time travel does exist -- travels back to.

This is a tough time in the timeline right now and I am aware of that. I won't tell you any more because I don't want to jack up the current timeline by giving out information.

If you are interested, you should prepare in the following way.

1. If you plan on going backwards in time, don't bother telling anyone if you don't want to because as soon as you go backwards in time, they won't even know that you left from your perspective since the moment you leave won't arrive again until you catch back up with yourself and then you don't have to go back a 2nd time. You can just jump in where your old self left off and nobody will ever notice you left. If you are going forward in time, understand that you may be going to a period where everyone you ever knew will be dead and there is no guarantee that you will ever see them again because I can't guarantee that you will ever have another offer to time travel again; you might, but you never know; shit happens.

2. Pack a suitcase or duffel bag with some belongings that you want to keep. Current cash will not work in the past if the date on the cash is after the date you are going back to, but if you are only going back a short time and you have cash with dates on it older than where you are going, you can bring the cash with you. Please don't bring any cash that would go back into circulation that shouldn't exist yet as it will probably trigger a government inquiry and cause issues. If you are going to the future, you can bring your cash with you but it might not stretch as far as you might like if there has been inflation which there might depending on how far into the future you are going.

3. Technology will work to a point depending on the type of service and of course you would have to open a burner account with cash at a Walmart when you arrive if there is no service when you get there for your phone. If you are planning to go to a time when your past double will be also present with the same cell phone, it will ring simultaneously in both places and you will have to be careful not to freak your old self out by alerting them to what is going on. If you are planning on running into another you, do observe first what seems to happen and take it very slow and carefully in case it leads to temporal anomalies.

4. Everything you take with you needs to be packed inside of something that insulates metal so that no electricity can arc from the time travel device to your item for everyone's safety and to ensure no issues are caused to the items or the time travel device.

5. Please ensure that you have food and water available to yourself when you arrive packed in your stuff, but please do not have to go to the bathroom when you are ready to depart as the process of jumping through time can be unusual and it is best to depart without the possibility of peeing or pooping in transit accidentally due to being disoriented in your body.

6. While the process is entirely safe and you will definitely get to the exact time period you wish to arrive in timewise, the location that you will arrive in is not a known. Due to the fact that the earth is constantly moving through space, the computer that calculates the exact trajectory for you to take through space-time will err on the side of ensuring you arrive where you will not be in danger, such as not in the middle of a busy intersection or not in the middle of the Pacific Ocean or not in the middle of a wall of granite, as such, it will find a destination with the highest probability for safety and that might be somewhere else than where you were when you departed. It may be 2 inches away or 2 miles away. It is theoretically possible to end up on the other side of the planet, but I have never heard of that actually happening, but the computer system leaves that as an option where safety is concerned because safety is the program's highest priority. If it can not guarantee safety, it will simply keep you at your departure point and ask you to reinitiate and try time travelling again.

I do not need your actual names.
You can call yourself whatever you wish.
Departure date is set for May 1st, 2021 at high noon.
I will refer to you with whatever nick name you choose.
I will need the name of the town you wish to depart from.
And we will meet at the south-easterly most Walmart closest to that town's south-eastern corner between at noon in the most south-eastern corner of the building just outside.

It will be the same time for everyone regardless of location since I will be dropping people off one at a time in their new time and then coming back for the next person at the same time in their different location.

Again, all I need is the nickname and the city of departure. When I come to pick you up, you should identify yourself with a nametag with your nickname on it so that I know it is you.

You will know it is me because a time machine will appear near you at noon at that location.

Re: Time Travel Offer
I realized after writing this that if I go back in time after dropping someone else off, I will in effect be going back to a time before I took someone else on their journey and will have to pick them up once again.

So, here is how we are going to work this.

Depending on who responds first, that will be the 12 noon appointment and I will meet the next person at 1 pm and the one after that at 2 pm and so on until all people have been transported. If that goes into the next day, so be it.

The reason I mentioned that I can take any number of people even though I am taking you all at different times is that some of you might be travelling with a loved one or even an entire family and if that be the case, fine, I have plenty of room in the time travel machine.

If you have a really, really, really large family, please let me know how large in case there are so many that it takes more than one trip and I can do that too.

I can cram quite a few in the machine though at once, so it probably won't even be an issue.

Re: Time Travel Offer
You have an interesting point, however, up until now, I have never done this exact thing.

I have certainly travelled through time myself, so I have encountered various scenarios that went in to my original instructions.

The thing I didn't think out exactly is how to come back and grab each person after dropping each person without erasing the fact that I just did it at the same time. That had not occurred to me since originally, I was trying to figure out how to get everyone to meet at the same Walmart.

Of course, it makes no sense to make you all travel to a single Walmart. You live all over the place. How inconvenient.

Whereas, I can program my time travel machine to go to not only a certain time, but also a general location.

The machine literally looks like a huge recreational vehicle, top of the line, brand new.

It did not originally look that way but I hollowed out an RV and placed it in the back half and then placed metal markers around the entire perimeter and programmed the device to take everything inside of itself plus everything inside the metal markers, which includes the entire recreational vehicle.

In order to ensure the electric field it generates doesn't short out on the RV, I have every single piece of metal in the RV connected to a powerful magnet that I turn on prior to departure and that draws all the arcing to a single point that I have routed back into the main ground for the unit.

The entire thing sucks power right out of the ionosphere using a lightning rod that extends up and I put a charge on it that pulls lightning right in to the system.

The amount of power necessary to travel through time is not as much as is found in a bolt of lightning, so I shoot the excess energy I don't need into a grounding rod array that comes out the bottom and attaches to the ground.

In this way, I can drive the device from one place to another.

Also, the RV runs on electricity like a Tesla, so I can charge it up on electricity every time I depart and the vehicle batteries for driving are tip top. You would probably not know that it isn't a regular RV to look at it. I made sure that it blends in with today's models.

However, when I drop you off in the past, I have to split in a hurry since they didn't have RV's this nice back then and I wouldn't be able to explain that to anyone that noticed it.

Re: Time Travel Offer
I really don't have the pull to go back and convince America not to join World War 2. I am just a regular looking person with no connections to anyone.

Nobody in charge would do what I say and if they knew I have a time machine, they would try to take it from me and I can't have that.

Speaking of which, if any of you try to take the time machine, that would not work because I have enough security measures in place that if I don't report back to the system in time, it will take whoever tried to steal it on a trajectory deep inside the earth where it is very hot and under pressure which would collapse and crush the machine and everyone inside of it.

You have to have fail safe measures just in case.

Re: Time Travel Offer
There really is no risk here folks.

At the most, you are risking taking a trip to your local Walmart.

What is the worst that could happen?

If this is all fake, then I couldn't possibly travel to Walmart all over the place in such a short time so that means you would be safe from any nut plus nobody would suspect you of not being just any other random person near a Walmart since there are so many people who do just that anyway all the time.

Might as well take a chance and go back one week into the past and play the lottery for example. Then you can be super rich and move to Fiji with all the money and retire.

Or, go back thousands of years and see Jesus of Nazareth...

Or go forward hundreds of years and see if it got any better or just got worse...satiate your dying curiousity.

I come on here and write loads of great stories on here for you all to engage in a little break from doom and enjoy, folks ask me to keep writing and they enjoyed it and when I do, basically, I get the middle finger.

Come on, I'm offering you a chance to travel through time.

If you don't believe me, then throw some paradoxical argument at me and test my skills at solving your puzzles; make the story grow a bit and together, we will save the world with science fiction...

Or, go science fact and take a trip on my time machine if you prefer...it's up to you...I am here both to entertain and also to provide adventure and escapism.

So, what other cities and nicknames? Who wants to travel through time and when do you want to go to?

Re: Time Travel Offer
I love it, that's exactly what I am talking about...

I would love to go back in time and pick you up when you were in 2004, however, I am running into an issue with consent and free will.

If I were to travel back to 2004 and offer to Caspar or whoever and he refuses me, I can't kidnap the guy because he has not given me consent. Technically, the future you who gave consent doesn't even exist yet.

However, if the present you wants to go back and convince the old you to go to another date, that will effect the time continuum in such a way as to make it so that you were never possibly at GLP right now when you change your history in that way and as a result, none of it would end up taking place at all and where would that leave me...in some kind of a paradox where I never left with you in the first place and we never even had this conversation.

Since we are having this conversation, it is apparent that you never decide to go back to the younger you and convince him to alter your timeline such that you aren't at GLP right now, so I can assume that you either want to go somewhen else or not at all, so which is it?

If I did grab the kid in the blue shirt and the silver chain, he would have to take the chain off and put it in his pocket so that the machine doesn't arc electricity into his chain and burn his neck.

No problem with blue shirts so long as they don't have a bunch of metal on them.

Picking up someone who is at a Coors location implies the person also might have to pee and in 2004 they did not have RV's that look as up to date as mine, so those are two issues.

People who travel through time need to go potty first and how am I going to explain that to him?

And the RV would attract too much attention in 2004.

The present at a Walmart, I will blend right in.

Like I said, as soon as I go back in time, I have to split again real fast so as not to attract too much attention.

I'm not sure what that is exactly -- the lottery results from ElGordo.

I can take a person back and they can play the lottery themselves but I am not going to go back in time in this RV and hang out long enough to play the lottery myself. I will stand out for another reason.

When I arrive in the past, I will literally just appear. Anybody watching will see an RV appear out of nowhere.

For that reason, I have to drop the person or people off really quick and drive off, around a corner or two and depart again before anybody is the wiser.

I have a system for being stealthy and have to stick to it. A lot of people have cell phones now and like to record weird shit, so I have to not attract any more attention than possible.

For me, I don't need to play the lottery. Having a time machine is all I need. My electricity is free and everything I need runs on electricity.

Food isn't an issue when you can disappear. I can eat and run anywhere and disappear and nobody will ever find me because I don't exist in that time anymore.

Money is irrelevant when you have your own time machine.

When I came here to this world, from an alternate reality, I knew that dark times were coming.

I came to help, in my own small way.

Thank you for the kind offer to travel in time, but I must decline. Thank you, though!

Things truly are about to become dark. This isn't the "darkest timeline" but it's on the same branch.

Still, if we don't stand and fight, as best we can, things will be far worse here.

Thanks again.
