So kids what would you do with a time machine?
I personally would bring back loads of future technology to claim as my own inventions and completely take over the world of business :D

They aliens that gave the government the tech in the first place in exchange the ability to operate freely without being confronted, will have to move against you.

Go back quite a while in time and put my savings in the bank and then reap the interest.
Yes, I'm boring,
Maybe I'd bring back a t-rex just to laugh at its puny arms. ~

I'm thinking I would travel to a distant future where I would help the surface dwelling descendants of humanity defeat evil mutated subterranean monsters before learning, to my surprise, that the monsters were once human too but had mutated into their now monstrous form after a cataclysmic event had forced them to seek shelter underground for generations.
I would then pick a book to base a new civilisation on, but not tell anyone what book it was so they would always be in suspense. Or alternatively I would find an ancient holographic computer to simply tell stories from every book that has ever been written.
Oh, and I would re-invent ice-cream as every great civilisation needs ice-cream.
Mmm... ice-cream...

i'd use the t rex to kill people god that guy in the house next to me gets drunk every freaking night and is just horrible with the "hey man can u rub some oil on my chest? those are some pretty hands" and that creepy fat dude that dresses up as a woman and throws pennies for no reason and when he runs out of pennies he cries and rushes back into the house and i swear every day i see more and more scars on his wrist. god that guy is scary

I would go back in time 15 minutes and paint your toenails red, then i would call Steven King and tell him "the Langoliers" are coming

i'd go back and pick on Jesus. Call him names and steal his lunch money.

Drag the most brutal, devastating and life-destroying future weapon to use on everything Gavin Hood holds dear say, 30 years before now should do the trick.
(If he lives, the trauma should stop him going into -any- career in film permanently)

I would arm Jesus's disciples with sub-machine guns and convince them to overthrow the Romans by force.
This would shift Christianity from a spiritual movement to a political one, thereby destroying the foundations of organized religion in the western world. And then we could all be happy pagans again. :)

Wouldn't it make more sense to cut both Christianity and Islam off at their common source?

Believe it or not, I actually have read that thing. Gives you a new perspective on just how attached people can get to their favorite superheroes.

Hate to be a boring party pooper, but if I had a time machine, then I would have to destroy it. Such a device is too dangerous to allow to exist.

You are the most heroic person I have met so far in my time on the Champs board. I don't know if you're being IC, but you win anyways.

I would build a temple and bury it in Antartica. Then I would make a few maps to it and hid them in such a way that it would be easy to find for future generations. Inside the temple on a pedestal I would put a dvd player with a disc inside of it. The disc would be the television episodes of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Let them wonder.

1) go back in time.
2) Kidnap Jesus
3) Go to the zombie infested future
4) Infect Jesus
5) Return to my time with zombie jesus
6) Have myself a grand old time involving setting jesus loose at the popes birthday party... i could have him jump out of a cake of sorts...
Questions?

better than my dream, i wanted to go back in time to write the thong song.
Dark_Haze

ok. my story included flesh eating zombies, killing the pope, kidnapping jesus, and ridiculus blashphemy.
and yet somehow the thong song idea is more disturbing.

Oh wait. my idea also had cake. ^^

I wonder what kind of cake the pope likes. There are so many variables in your plan! Ah <head implodes>

you should offer cake to the pope, but he never gets cake. because the cake is a lie.

Did you read my plan about zombie jesus jumping out of the cake? so it IS a decietful cake.

Well, the right & simple thing to do is destroy it. The hair brained thing to do is see how many paradoxes it takes to break the timestream/universe.

I would go forward in time, 3 months per jump, and then get out my notebook and jot down every technical, gameplay, and bug-fix alteration that ever will happen to Champions Online. I will then start to propose these ideas on the forums and in emails to them months before they're suggested by the Dev's, thereby securing myself a job with Cryptic.
After phase one of the plan, I would then jump forward to make note of both subtle and overt market changes and come back to invest heavily, after winning the lotto for my starting funds, and make hundreds of millions... which I will then funnel into Cryptic such that they can improve upon Champions Online and Star Trek Online with near limitless potential and resources.
Phase three would involve going forward to make note of any changes to Marvel Universe Online and DCUO that are potentially patentable or copyrightable. I would then secure their rights well before they could, thereby destroying DCUO and MUO and any hopes of competition.
Phase four would be the last in my evil plot to rule the world. I would skip ahead in time to a point in the future where Virtual Reality has become a practical and every-day household item... one that is streamlined and mass-produced. I would steal the patents and blueprints, bring them back to this time, claim the patents as my own... and then I would use my vast fortune to fund the building of massive gaming complexes in every state, country, and corner of the world. Powered by advanced technology, it would become a virtual reality center for Cryptic's online games... where people can come and experience CO and STO in VR!
And then the world would plunge into chaos and disarray as everyone is consumed by their addiction to Cryptic Studio's games... they would all be vegetables in their VR suits, and hooked up to life-support while they played their alternate lives. I would be the only one left on earth not "plugged in" and I would RULE THE WORLD! Laugh with me! Muahah hahaha HAHAHAHA!
Oh, and I'd steal a closed beta key, 'cause I'm horribly bored right now.
