Rules:

  • The messages can go as far back as the beginning of the 7 day period (the moment you found out about your assassin is after you)
  • You can only send the messages if you have cell signal (maybe don’t hide in the woods, you assassin might be there, and you don’t get a do-over 🙃)
  • Your phone is immune to damage and malware (although spyware and keyloggers can still be on there, but they can’t affect the system, just on “read only” mode). Auto-updates are now disabled by default
  • If assassin got your phone, they could send false messages to trick your past self. (Don’t lose your phone!)
  • At the end of 7 days, the Assassin will just drop dead due to time travel limitations, time travelers cannot survive longer than 7 days in the past (yes, the assassin is a time traveler 😉)

    I wouldn’t warn myself because I don’t want to get caught in a groundhog day, butter fly effect scenario.

      I mean, you could just give your self a limit.

      Add a “Iteration 1” to the first message, and the 2nd iteration of you should append the message with “Iteration 2” and so on…

      If you still get warned of death in Iteration 500, then maybe then you can give up.

      At least try to survive for a few timelines.

        I would’ve created 500 alternative timelines by then, and in all of them my peers would have to live through my death. It sounds selfish to put that burden on them for the chance of creating one timeline where we maybe live happy, instead of just accepting my fate and leave only one family behind.

        I might tell myself that it’s really important to live the next seven days if they were my last.

        Playing with time doesnt sound wise to me.
