In other words, we're living time machines. Like the one in a Stanislaw Lem short - its inventor went 50 years ahead to see his own future, and died of old age while travelling.

Technically though, won't it mean that normally time-affected inanimate objects will suffer too? Radioactives will degrade, for example.

(ninja edit) And I suppose this means we won't be able to kill another timelord this way, since we'd be just doing something for him, instead of to him.

As for holding in hands, the most reliably sane explanation would be "anything you can hold without letting it touch something else". Which would mean we'd rapidly run out of shoes...

Objects might not degrade just for the sake of playability, just like how we always end up in a good place dispite the fact that we'd actually end up someplace in space if we really were time traveling.

As I have said many times, the chrononauts are not affected by the flow of time, so no. You can de-age any normal people though. Also, you have to be able to lift an object to take it with you. Any clothing will go with you. 

As well, travelers cannot be telefragged. This was in the OP.

e: I said in my my last post that inanimate objects will not be affected.

I was responding to sean's question of "Why not?"

Also, does this mean that time travelers don't age? Not effected by time as you said.

And when I say telefrag I mean, Imagine if you are holding a long pole out in front of you could you teleport in and have that appear in a normal person or a time traveler?

Are you going to put all the players in a list on the first post, Squeeg?

[Squeegy]

Okay, I compiled a list of events. Keep in mind that not all of these events have to be prevented or changed to alter the course of history and stop the Disaster. New players can still join before all of the actions are sent in and I've posted the turn. Please PM me your actions.

[Jakkarra]

Squeegy, remember, you have to set it to allow PMs to be sent to you.

YOu probably already know, bvut i wanted to make sure.

In, as:

Character Sheet:
Name: Sique Malade
Gender: M
Age: 30
Nationality: Francais
Description: A french extreme-left-wing revolutionary. Was a member of several marxist and trotskiist groups, held political meetings, and even joined in a terrorist attack or two (for USians: terrorists in Europe are quite normal). In his spare time, he performs as a mime. Likes frogs for their delicious legs. Is wearing dirty clothes, and a beret. Dislikes stereotypes.

[Squeegy]

You... realize that's on by default, right?

[Jakkarra]

No, because it isnt.

Or, wasnt, It's currently automatically set to only allow PMs from Admins right now, unless he repaired it.

[Squeegy]

No, it's not. I've been receiving and sending PMs just fine. I even checked, it's set to Allow All.

[Jakkarra]

Huh, Toady must've fixed it.

Carry on.

EDIT: Here's the announcement, to prove i am sane.http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57599

[Squeegy]

To clarify, there are no time traveling machines. It does not exist, it never existed. You can only time travel because it is a supernatural ability.

[piecewise]

Any machine you hold on to while time traveling becomes a time traveling machine *Rimshot*

[Squeegy]

Any machine you pick up while time traveling is a time traveling machine.
