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 😉)
[P.S: El Psy Congroo]
No, you get to send unlimited number of messages, but the furthest back is at the beginning of this 7 days. You could send it to day 2, day 3, or even exactly at 12:34 on day 4.
OK, but what happens to current me if it sends a message that leads past me on a course that will not lead to it’s current state?
Does it create multiple time lines? Might that lead to a near infinite amount of messages received at the beginning of the period?
But then that’s me sending a message to past me and the messages can only go as far back as today, so that’s like me writing a message right now and then reading it right now.
So I need to be able to meet with the assassin and somehow send a message with location and date so that past me can avoid it. Repeat until the 7 days end.
I guess I’m also not smart enough. Sigh… Past self, I tried, but I don’t understand the rules, so we’re dead now.
