That's right, I'm the one who made Marle disappear in 600 AD, and I'm the one who preserved the timeline while Chrono and the gang were away! Fear my power!

Snow in Texas was always an even when I lived there. I remember seeing people driving pickup trucks over iced over roads with people sitting on cardboard boxes hanging onto ropes connected to the back of the trucks. Quite a sight.

Polling / Re: What Square series, besides the Chrono Series, should get a remake/sequel?
« on: December 22, 2008, 06:48:22 pm »I think racism in Japan isn't as big a thing as the States (or wherever white & black people are) or something...Maybe it's an out-of-sight, out-of-mind sort of thing? Wasn't there an incredibly black stereotype boss in the new Megaman 9? Tarbaby Man or something? Then again, with sprites it's difficult to accurately display the nuances of any individual race...The Black population of Japan is less than one tenth of one percent. That's probably why you don't see them in many Japanese games. However, the Japanese have always had something of a xenophobic streak, and there's even a minority group that they pointlessly oppress to this very day.

Fun Fact: Paper Mario was originally Super Mario RPG 2. I've seen videos.

I don't think so. They're probably just too busy trying to sell me Final Fantasy IV for the twentieth fucking time.

If someone could edit my avatar so that the white background matches the horizontal line background pattern around it, and can get the lines to match up, I'd be very, very grateful.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Thoughts on Time Traveler's Immunity

Note: For purposes of simplicity I am not considering the Marle Paradox in this theory.
The mechanism of TTI can be deduced through simple logic. Imagine for a moment, that you go back in time, say five minutes, with a loaded gun. You then shoot yourself in the head, killing you instantly. If you were to do this, I believe that you would not disappear. The act of killing your older self, posibally the act of time traveling period, would have no effect on the you who pulled the trigger. The act of changing the timeline can be compared to a wave. Upon the change, this wave would sweep across time, altering everything that occured after the wave began. But, and this is key, you are behind the wave. The wave, you see, only acts one way. It will destroy the you who got into the time machine, but it can't wrap around and kick the you who stepped out of the machine in the ass. You are behind it, and it can't knock you down.
By traveling through time, you have broken the normal chain of cause and effect. The version of you that stepped out of the machine was, in effect, created ex nihlo the moment you arrived in the past. If we assume that time travel breaks cause and effect, this explains at least one aspect of TTI. Another example: After killing the older version of you, you enter the time machine once again. This time you go forward in time ten minutes. You then send an automated drone into the past to kill you before you left for the future. You would not vanish. Why? Because the violation of casuality has broken the chain. The you who sent back the drone is unconnect from either of the yous who were killed in the past.
This principal would explain at least one aspect of Time Traveller's Immunity.
