I am running a competition to join myself, The Real John Titor TM, Little Ethan Titor, Jacob 'Time Traveller' Time, Creedo299 and all of the other sad losers (including Chronohistorian) I have to hang out with in TITOR TOWERS in The FutureTM.
To enter merely post a new thread called 'I am from the year...' (and choose the year you are pretending to time travel from)
Your character must have a ludicrous name NB "Joey Space Time Traveller", "Ken Timelord", "Zeshua" or suchlike unlikely nom de guerre
Your backstory must have natural disasters (especially earthquakes), American civil war, global civil war (is there such a thing?) and nuclear holocaust either spiralling upwards in that order or a protracted mixture of said doomsday scenarios cobbled together from some movies and books you half remember from when you were 14 (or more likely you are 14 now, or on your next birthday)
The internet is back up and running but better bandwidth within 2 years of this doomsday event
You travelled by a time machine but do not know how it works - this is important, it could be a time hat, or a time backpack, or a time commode, but, and I repeat, you have no idea how it works, you just pressed a big red button which said '2011' on it and back you came to the early 21st century because its so exciting here. I mean who'd want to go back to 1945 or 1939 or 1914? As if, they don't even have internet forums there, imagine having to write to Lord Farqhuar-Wilberforce in 1914 to convince him you're a time traveller and wait weeks for his hand written reply by horseback saying 'Chronohistorian dash it all, is that you? Learn to spell you dunce' and so on.
And you must have a stunning new twist to your story. Does a headline from google two years ago about a minor riot in Alabama over taxes count as American civil war? It does in the world of 'Barry TARDIS' your imaginary time traveller.
Get writing, cave dwellers!
