We got 6 out of 8 players, if you guys want we can start now.
What happens to me if I go back in time to a point when I was, say, punching a T-Rex in the face, and give myself a gun. How would that work?
Also, just realized that we could go backwards in time half an hour and load up tons of stuff.
Info Time:
The trousers of time. Everytime something happens, an alternate universe is created in which that thing didn't happen(The universe copies itself and splits up into the legs). The timemachine you got is special because not only can it go back(and forth) in time, it can also escape through the hole in the pockets and into an alternate universe. So when you go backward in time and give yourself a gun, there would be a version of you that killed the dinosaur with a gun, and a version that never recieved the gun and just punched the T-rex on the nose, and that would be the real you.
As for going back in time to get more stuff there are two things that could happen:
1. Other security people detect you trying to steal hightech weaponry with a highjacked top secret project.( You die)
2. In case you survive, you quickly come to the conclusion that the timetraveling machine's power hasn't yet recharged and are obliterated along with the earth.

The Time travelling machine( We need a name for this thing)
The Time Machine appears as an inverted parabolic dome. Four, rough trapezoidal pillars made of a strange metallic substance arc towards the center, meeting above the ground at ten or so feet. They are dark silver in hue. Open space lies between each pillar. The point at which they meet holds a transparent crystal, it shaped like a triangular prism and it's tip is pointed upwards. At each side lay outstretched panels, connected by adamant cylindrical hinges and made of the same metal as the pillars. They seem to be of the same shape as the space in between the pillars. Half of those panels-- the outermost parts, are transparent yet you have no doubt that it is metallic; maybe for the allowance of light when inside, you guess.
There is a small panel situated on the inner side of the nearest pillar, it's casing is pried open and hangs ajar. On that panel is an array of buttons, 4x4 and color-coded for your convenience, but without any symbol, the bottom two rows are tinted blue and the top two are red. At the top of said panel is a display screen, on it are the destination name and time in red and blue respectively. At the bottommost part of the panel is a beige rectangular button, with the word "DEPLOY" in black lettering.
The whole structure is supported by a flat, metallic square. There are unknown symbols carved along the perimeter. The whole thing is wrapped up in a crude layer of Titanium plates. It is not at all airtight and there are multpile holes through which one can see the outside. The entrance is a door for an ancient blue police box. -Destination:Britain(4)
