I arise from unique circumstances, so it's doubtful that anyone would be able to impersonate me to the point even I'd be fooled. I'd be able to recognize myself anywhere.
So if someone who seems to give off a very distinct "myself" vibe appeared in front of me with a laser gun and goggles and claimed to be me from 9 minutes in the future, I'd flip my sunglasses down from the top of my head and say:
"Let's rock."
Then I'd just follow my cues for 540 seconds until I become me from the future, and then I hunt down myself and do what has to be done.
<color=#FF0000>TG: the thing with time travel is
TG: you cant overthink it
TG: just roll with it and see what happens
TG: and above all try not to do anything retarded.

ah but where did you get the lazer gun from if not from yourself who happened to use a time machiene only to be mugged by yourself who must then go back in time in order to be mugged so that you can go back in time and be mugged, you can either have your nine minutes of lazer gun or avoid going back in time and break the space-time continueum thereby damming us all. Unless everything is predestined in which case your going to end up with nine minutes of lazer gun no matter what you do.NinjaDeathSlap said:
oh and as for me?
I think the sensible thing would be to run away as quickly as I can, if its me from the future then its likely im inevitably going to end up finding out why I need to go back in time anyway.
Punch myself in the face and begin to make out and have "the sex" a few times before turning to future-me and ask, "Okay, what is it you really wanted to talk about?"
Simple. Future me was lying when he said he was from 9 minutes in the future. You really think laser guns would just happen in that time? Well, that's just stupid!johnnyLupine said:
My glorious reign last for several years, before even oppressing the masses for my own gratuitous amusement becomes token and fails to satisfy me like it used to. Then, I instruct my scientists to build the time machine that takes me back to that point so I can pass the torch on to past me, who will still appreciate the fun of senseless violence. Why lie, you ask? Well, I just want all those years of world domination to be a surprise! Makes it all the sweeter.
Then, when the concussion has worn off, future me begins a new life in the past... full of fresh challenges and new joys to be had. Who knows, I might join the circus...
Damn humanity and our ability to lie..we even lie to ourselves! I admit that I have been bested for now..
since your going to be some important ruler I don't suppose you could start working on fixing that little issue would you?

If he's really me, wouldn't he already know my reaction and how to convince me to come with him? I mean, if sometime in the future I was to go back in time and meet myself I'm sure I'd be able to come up with a more convincing way. Maybe something like "Hi. You were born on November 4 1987, your first crush was on Anna May Faustwick in grade 2 and you're secretly terrified of falling into toilets. Now come with me."
I'd go. When I go to see myself from the future, I usually have good reason.
I mean, why else would I go to the trouble of building a time machine?

Well I would. I am a sneaky guy. Can't trust myself as far as I can through me. I am always going behind my back to mess up my stuff. I really piss me off sometimes. I don't even know why I still keep in contact with me, since I only bring myself misery.Shock and Awe said:
OT: I would not follow me. I would just wait 9 minutes with me and see what happens.
I don't follow. If she's telling the truth, given nine minutes, she has exactly enough time to take me to the place where the goggles, raygun, time machine and I guess sex-change machine are, change me, give me the things, and send me back in time to repeat. There's not really any point.
I would ask him a question that only I would know the answer to - if time travel's on the table, doppelgangers certainly are.
We're getting time travel tomorrow!?
Sweet!
I'll just rob myself, go time travelling meself, then return the device to myself two seconds after I robbed it.

...I ignore it and keep on going about my business. If it's really me from the future, and it's important, future me won't let me ignore him.Lt._nefarious said:
furthermore, if it really was me from the future he's going to say something more like "Hey you! [Deep dark personal information only I know at this point]! I'm you from the future. Come with me, it's urgent!"
Props for 'accoutrements'.Lilani said:
OT: I have with awesome goggles. Like I could possibly say no to myself!
