Bah, since we have time machines we can simply resurface as Einstein from the CnC version and create shit for everyone.
That reminds me, we need to kidnap Hitler and Einstein and set up a knife fight. Then upload it to Youtube in the future.

That brings up a good question. What time travel rules are we using here? Back To The Future or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? The time travel-aided fighting is only possible in the latter.
Unrestricted time travel, with one exception: anything that prevents you from ever having been able to travel in time cannot happen.

?I'd make a comment about the technology levels mentioned earlier but I suppose we don't have to worry about that because of the blueprint time loop we caused earlier.

12:28 pm November 22, 1963
Dealey Plaza, Dallas, TX
Texas School Book Depository, 5th floor.


You arrive in the Texas School Book Depository.  Going up to the sixth floor, you quickly locate the man known as Lee Harvey Oswald.  You sneak up behind him, punch him in the face, take his rifle, and punch him in the face again.  He falls over, unconscious.  A couple minutes later, JFK's motorcade arrives in Dealey Plaza...and he gets shot in the head anyway.

At about that time, someone walks up behind you.  You turn around.  The man is wearing an odd uniform: police officer-like, but futuristic-looking.  He starts talking.  "Officer Roberts of the Temporal Police Force.  Listen, I know you're a rookie.  First one I've seen who hasn't just tried to kill Hitler, though.  Okay.  Consider this a warning: don't utterly mess up the time stream.  We can't allow that to happen.  Take this book, it will tell you the temporal laws.  Also, please, please don't attack our agent on the grassy knoll.  We'll never be able to replace a sniper like him."

You stare.  Roberts is armed with some sort of...handgun?  You think you might be able to take him out in a fight, but it probably isn't the best idea.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

You read the book.  There are three pages of general rules (don't touch anything, don't do anything, don't take anything, don't kill anyone, don't do this, don't do that, don't eat, don't sleep, don't steal, don't lie, don't talk, don't disobey the police).  The rest of the book is about the many, many methods of stopping Hitler and how they're not allowed.

Wow.  These rules suck.
