Then I can play cards with me , I and myself.
The problem with this is that the farthest forward one of you would already know what the other two's hand's looked like.
Which would then influence his actions, which would influence the actions of the 3 earlier copies, resulting in a completely different game.
If I were the pastmost me in this situation I would just kill the other two. Flawless Victory.
....okay, note to self: Don't invite MSH over for poker night.
I prefer Blackjack anyway.
Oh no you don't. You're just looking for a way to get me to say "Hit Me".
*punch*
....well played, sir. Well played.
"Rule 47: No edged weapons during a game of chess."
For me:
1) Some point in the future far enough to give me immortality.
2) Pre-revolution France, to then live through the wonderful time that was 1789 - 1914. (And then to f&%$ things up in the world wars, like giving the allies advanced computer knowledge, preventing Stalin from taking over, getting the British to attack when Hitler annexes the Sudetenland, either being general of the German army that marched to Paris in 1914 leading Germany to a swift victory over France or getting the British tanks as soon as trench warfare kicke in, etc.)
3) 300 B.C. in ancient Greece, chatting up all the philosophers and getting them on track for developing modern physics, later on making contact between Rome and China, keep Rome from splitting and Caesar from being assassinated, have the Phoenicians discover America and give the natives technological advancements to establish lasting Native American control, forging some medium-sized African empires to prevent colonialization there, and (that was a great idea, btw) introducing the printing press in ancient Greece.
