RE: Information Finding Championship Hidden Ladder bonus rounds for artifacts - - Time for Travel?

in #justbecause6 years ago

The essential tool-kit for any time traveller.
1 Would have to be the latest smartphone tech with charger connections. plus spare batteries. Essential for every time travellers carry-on bag.
2 Multiple passports. Never know when an emergency might come up.
3 For currency diamonds, a small amount carries a lot of weight.
4 A typewriter, it's a good cover story.
5 Small spy kit, like remote cameras, surveillance stuff, digital dictaphone, night vision goggles, portable solar recharger.
6 Clean underwear in case it's a rough journey.
7 Some family photo's, won't be able to pick those up here you're going.
8 Butch, the dog, every traveller needs a side-kick.

Much depends on the time I was to land in too. But I think that selection would be beneficial to any time you went back to.

Sort:  

Yes I should have said number 9. what time/how far back did you go.

  1. A cell/smart phone no real use prior to whatever year it came out, say 2000 your g4/5 phone would not work, Oh it would turn on and you would be able to take pictures, play whatever game you had, or apps you had, but no guarantee that the technology will continue to develop the way it did.
  2. Your passport if you went back more than 5 years would likely not pass inspection.
  3. Those would be useful not just for currency in any time a person chose to travel to. I agree.
  4. Useful for the machine age forward, but what about the middle ages? Would you be able to keep it working, keep an ink ribbon for it, avoid the priest of the era?
  5. A good kit, for modern age, and pre religion age, otherwise useless, and could get you killed for being a witch.
  6. That I agree. Clothing, although that could cause problems in some eras.
  7. Photo's could be bad, could be seen as holding a persons soul captive, and would you really for the rest of your life want to see reminders of what you left behind?
  8. Butch, a good Idea. pass.

So out of 8 I would say pass on 3, fail on 5. But I don't know how far back you went. Only you know that.

So a time frame or period of Egyptian time Middle ages or other. possibly a choice of 3 different specified times to choose from.
A second specification might be needed as to the area in that time someone will transport to. Like Egyptian times, would I materialise at a market, or at a religious sermon, in the farm fields?

You can pick one time, any time to travel to, you can pick a location, if you use a relatively accurate map,you could pick hopefully a place not to populated, If you just pick say rome 543BC, then you could end anywhere. If you picked NY New Years day, Times Square, then You would likely be okay, as no one would probably notice you in the crowd. But even picking a place like a farmers field, there could be people that see you materialize. Also you need to remember you will have some gear with you. So you see Time Travel can be rather iffy.
