Ok, all you "REAL" time travelers, I am going to a specific location in Kerrville, Texas. Underneath the bridge of the 16, which crosses over the Guadalupe River, on the side opposite of the hosptial. I will meet any "REAL" time traveler under that bridge today, Sept. 4th 2006 at 1:45 p.m.

For me, this is within 35 minutes, but for you, you should have plenty of time to get to that location. I will be wearing a cowboy hat. So, "REAL" time travelers, heres your chance.

For the others on this site, I know 35 minutes isnt enough time for any of you to get to the specific location.

So for any "REAL" time travelers ...

See you soon...
 
This is better than my test, OvLrd. It would be interesting to hear if you met anyone at your defined point in Space-Time.

I just had to comment when I seen your post.
I see this all the time. If I was a time traveler why should I waste my time meeting with you at this place? I would be here on a mission. If I was a time traveler I would laugh about that and have no interest to do so at all. Sorry, but that is about the reality of it.

Stand back and look at this from a real time travelers perspective. Would you meet with some stranger like this? Heck no.

I have to admit I use to think this was a good idea also then I realized the reality of someone
doing something like that as a time traveler would be a waste of his time.
Think about it....a total stranger. and what would you as the TT get out of the meeting? nothing.
You would have to waste the energy, map out a course, try to find the place, etc etc. Just to meet
someones need to prove time travel existed which you as the time traveler already know.
You didn't even provide any latitude / longitude of the place. Another thing he would have to waste time trying to find. You just assumed he would be familiar with the place.

From a reality point of view the only way a time traveler will meet with you is if it was part of his plan to begin with. Sorry, but that is the truth.

Do you have anything to offer the traveler to make it worth his effort? Maybe you should think on that. Put yourself in their shoes.

Sincerely,
Pamela

That's a pretty harsh judgment, Pam. How did you come to such a conclusion? What if that TT knew OvLrd had some specific piece of information s/he needed? There is always a possibility that the meeting of two humans can result in something much more than nothing, especially if the Time is Right.

That's because you're not a time traveler. From what we've seen of would-be time travelers over the past six years, wasting time playing Internet games is the mission. Frankly, it appears that that is the only mission. So, it's possible that you're correct - time travelers don't have time to show up under the bridge. They're too busy playing online.

I can see it now:

The Brave New World States of America, Omaha, Nebraska, BNWSA House of Representatives, 2024:

HR 1099 "The Wiggle VGL Time Travel & Internet RPG Cowboy Appropriations Bill of 2024"

Appropriations request: $25 billion appropriation to research, develop and deploy a BNWS DoD-General Electric Company time travel machine within the next decade for the sole purpose of sending DoD time travelers to the recent past to play on the Internet.

Rider bill (formerly HR 1098 "SHEW Appropriations Bill of 2024"): Appropriations for the BNWSA Department of Suburban Housing, Education, Welfare and Nuclear Holocaust Recovery Services shall be zero dollars during the life of HR 1099. The SHEW is on the other foot and no monies will be available for allocation to social and recovery services. Exception: SHEW shall be allocated $1 million per year during the life of HR 1099 for the sole purpose of purchasing cake for the populace. They shall have cake to eat.

On the more serious side, why do you think that a time traveler would laugh at the request (and I'm taking this particular "laugh" as intenting to show disdain and dismissal of the poster rather than finding real pleasure and joy in the request...I got that correct, yes?)

There's not a single case that I know of where the members of a BBS went out into the public arena, online or IRL, sought out and found a time traveler, ultimately dragging him/her kicking and screaming onto the forum.

On the contrary, it's always been the case that the "time traveler" sought out the forum members online. Furthermore, I don't recall a single would-be time traveler who has not indicated in some way that s/he has spent at least some time looking at other time travelers' posts and members' questions. They know what to expect - yet they post.

Why should a real time traveler, not a hoaxer, laugh at posters' questions when they know that they will be faced with those questions?

<font color="blue"> Not really laughing at the poster but that a traveler may find it kind of humorous that the poster does not realize what he is asking the traveler to do. Just to drop everything and go to all this trouble to meet with a stranger online in 35 minutes. I just don't see a time traveler doing this. It was just my personal opinion. nothing more. Unless he had a specific reason for meeting up with the poster I just don't think he would waste his time doing it.
Would you drive all the way out to texas just to meet with some stranger off of the whim under a bridge? Well....Why would a time traveler do it? I just think he would have more important things to do. If I was a time traveler I would have no interest in it. What would you get out of it?
Just my own opinion.[/COLOR]

When he says "So, "REAL" time travelers, heres your chance."

I am wondering....chance at what???
 
Pamela,

I don't know? Maybe for the same reason that a society would, on a whim, spend a large proportion of their gross national product to research, build and deploy a time travel gadget so that a time traveler can travel 36, 38 or 61 years through spacetime just to play on the Internet at a time when the populace is sick, sterile and starving.

Which position is the more absurd?

But I think that you missed the point of the request. The request was to meet him in 35 minutes. But you, OvrLrd and I, along with the other members, are in a state of uniform motion - 35 minutes will pass for each of us approximately equally. Not so for a time traveler. A time traveler can wait for decades before deciding to make the trip, i.e. wait for an opportune time when s/he has "time" to do it. S/he will still show up 35 minutes after the request with respect to our clocks. The time traveler can even put the request in the "Request Que" for some other TT to be tasked to. In that case they could wait a thousand years and still be there on time.

And that's the point of the request. In my case, based on my present transporation capabilities, the Bridge in Texas is effectively outside of my ability to affect an event there that occurs 35 minutes into my future. A time traveler can accomplish that task.

It's a chance for a "real" time traveler to offer some bit of tangible proof that what they are saying is true - even though they all seem to have adopted the same motto, "I don't care if you believe me."

The motto still begs the question, "Then why do you post and why do you defend your position if you really don't care?".
 
Well said, Darby. Very well said. And the only thing I have to say is this:

ROTFLMAO with respect to your appropriations bill, Senator Darby! :D

Pamela,

Not really laughing at ""the poster"" ...

My name is Thomas.

Anyway...
I got tired of the usual methods as experienced here in TTI. A shot in the dark, this may be, but still worth a try all the same.


..................................................................................................

First, I realize that there are flaws with the post.

1. It was done very quickly, since I jumped into my vehicle and drove down to the location immediately. I didn't explain myself, nor even titled the post with a more accurate description.
( Everybody hates "tests" )

2. I am assuming that someone will actually read these posts in the future, when time travel can be done, if it ever is.

3. There are other flaws, as well, but in time I hope to work those out of my program, so to speak.

4. Nobody did meet me, but that doesnt mean that they weren't there. There were several people that could have been time travelers, but I have no way of knowing. Too easy to remain anonymous at the specified location.

5. I varied from the conditions of the possible meeting, and for a reason. This will become known shortly. The variation will also provide any "REAL" time traveler the opportunity to establish themselves as such, and then perhaps more of "us" would take heed of their tales of the ominous events of "our" future.

...................................................................................................

The flaws with your reply, that I 'will' addresss

1. At first, you did miss out on what Darby out pointed out. For a time traveler, s/he would have plenty of time to arrange to be at that location at that time. S/he would NOT be confined by the 35 minutes, as a non-time traveler would be. Thus, any time traveler already in this time period would not have to drop anything and transport themselves to my selected location. The post was intended to be carried out by someone in the future, from their time period, not ours.

2. I didnt want one of our "supposed" time travelers to be able to reach that spot, thus I the reason why I didnt put the time limit 30 days out. I still took a risk, assuming that no one that visits this site ( TTI ) lives or was within 35 minutes of that spot.

3. You have absolutely no idea what the location looks like. It actually is a perfect location for anyone to meet that is wary of whom they are meeting, and very easy to find. And as pointed out above, it is a very good place to remain unknown if one decided not to reveal themselves.
Even though it is under a bridge, it actually is a really beautiful spot, not dark and mysterious as it seems you may have thought it to be.

4. As far as why a time traveler would want to meet me....

A. Housing
B. Food
C. Safe Haven, since I live "way" out in the country, there presence would be un-noticed
D. Transportation--my truck has tinted windows, so anyone outside wouldnt see who was inside.
E. Access to the internet, and other forms of information gathering
F. I dont want anything in return. Nothing. The mere event of anyone showing up would be return enough.

And many more items could be added to the list.

I will try again, with several variations. Some may not involve meeting anybody at all. Time will tell. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

What happened? All you had to do is think of the date, place, and time. I supplied all of that information, and didnt see anybody. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/cry.gif
