(9:40:46 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: time travel makes ebay sniping awesome
(9:40:57 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: bit of a snowball effect if the time machines are being sold on ebay though
(9:41:07 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: i came from 1988 to vote for this!
(9:41:08 AM) elitepwnxor: lol
(9:41:11 AM) elitepwnxor: ebay gets dirty
(9:41:17 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: mmm dirty
(9:41:18 AM) elitepwnxor: make note of the winner of an auction
(9:41:28 AM) elitepwnxor: travel back in time to just before they placed their vote
(9:41:39 AM) elitepwnxor: burst through the door yelling "DON'T HIT THAT BUTTOOOON"
(9:41:42 AM) elitepwnxor: and punch them in the face
(9:42:51 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: hehe
(9:43:01 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: but but it's called SNIPING
(9:43:03 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: can't we use a rifle?
(9:43:10 AM) elitepwnxor: you could
(9:43:12 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: or do a sneak-attack?
(9:43:14 AM) elitepwnxor: but hand to hand combat is more fun
(9:43:21 AM) elitepwnxor: with time travel
(9:43:26 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: oh snap
(9:43:29 AM) elitepwnxor: ebay would become a dangerous game of creativity
(9:43:40 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: i want to buy ebay and invent the time machine.
(9:43:43 AM) elitepwnxor: bidders would fortify their homes
(9:43:50 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: order is irrelevant, given context.
(9:43:57 AM) elitepwnxor: but eventually people would figure out that you can travel back in time to before the fortifications
(9:43:59 AM) elitepwnxor: and hide in the closet
(9:44:03 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: hehe
(9:44:12 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: so are these spatio-temporal vehicles?
(9:44:14 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: or just temporal?
(9:44:17 AM) elitepwnxor: so then it would be a matter of preparing to bid
(9:44:22 AM) elitepwnxor: and as you hit the button
(9:44:32 AM) elitepwnxor: being prepared to take on a swarm of competitors in mortal combat
(9:44:43 AM) elitepwnxor: KAAAMMEEEEEE
(9:44:47 AM) elitepwnxor: HAAAAAAAMEEEEEE
(9:44:47 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: why wouldn't you just leave a robot there to hit the button and sneak behind the other bidders who were coming to axe you
(9:44:49 AM) elitepwnxor: BIIIIIIIDO
(9:44:52 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: LOL
(9:45:00 AM) elitepwnxor: that is also a valid strategy
(9:45:02 AM) elitepwnxor: but with time travel
(9:45:05 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: see that bionic squirrel eying you?
(9:45:06 AM) elitepwnxor: they would all know about it already
(9:45:20 AM) elitepwnxor: no matter how much you plan ahead and strategize
(9:45:24 AM) christopherjrichards@mac.com: it wants your paypal account
(9:45:24 AM) elitepwnxor: its going to be a punching match
