That time travel 'what if' theme thing, Chmee version

[Chmee]

If you could travel in time to anywhere, anywhen ... and you could take a regular old Ford panel van full of equipment with you (stuff that you, Joe or Joan Average, could obtain legally or semi-legally) ....

Where would you go?

What would you take?

Why?

Hehe.

and you could take a regular old Ford panel van full of equipment with you

Whoo... Punisher battle van Mk. 2...

(stuff that you, Joe or Joan Average, could obtain legally or semi-legally) ....

Oh. Dammit.

Where would you go?

What would you take?

Why?

I'd take basic survival gear, since I'm not allowed an arsenal of weaponry. But where... when would I go...

To the future, like 30 years. See what happens, maybe buy a book of sports statistics...

[Chmee]

Did I mention it's a 1-way trip?

The time machine won't fit in the van.

I would go about.....150 years in the future. I wouldn't run into myself, and technology will be far advanced.

I would just take survival gear, probably.

[Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi]

I'd travel about 10-15 years into the past, as that's when the whole dot-com boom started, with survival gear, and a book of sports statistics, and/or records of stock value.

However, if the rules prohibit travel purely for monetary gain, or blatantly ripping off something from a movie, then I'd travel 100 years into the future. Just to see what will happen between then and now. But, before leaving, put some money into an account or something, so the interest will add up, assuming that it hasn't been lost in some banking collapse and/or gnome uprising.

I'd get the largest Dodge Sprinter van I could find and get some dynamite, some weapons (legally obtained), several gold bars or bricks, survival gear, a laptop with all of the financial and sport statistics available and the schematics of the time machine, some spare batteries and AC adapters for the laptop, a state of the art PC and enough parts to build another one plus all of the games that are currently available, lots of tools (power or not) and parts for the van.

Where would I go? New York or Hollywood on Jan 1 1939. I'd start changing some of the gold into cash and begin investing. I'd put significant capital into companies such as IBM and others that have lasted a long time and have propered. Once sufficient money has been made then use the time machine schematics and build another one and use it after WW2 has ended. I'd travel to 1955, rince and repeat but every 5 years.

You're all so good about trying to not mess up the timeline!

For me it'd be more along the lines of a couple assault rifles, body armor, pistols, crates of ammo, reloading gear, night vision gear, medical supplies, some good maps (especially geological maps showing ore deposits), and a small library of technical and scientific books ....

Then it's off to Iron Age Ireland or Scotland to establish the reign of Chmee the Terrible ......

Load it up with Computers, Computer Chips, Modern Assault Rifles, Printer, Paper, a Shitload of Design specs on certian things on Disc and some money printed before 1975.

Go back to the late 1970s, patent all that stuff, sell the computers and computer chips to IBM, buy alot of IBM stock, get rich and spend the rest of my life in Flordia surounded by Hot Woman.

Simple as that.
