Title says it all really. You have a one time shot at going back to any time period, anywhere and you can take with you ONE piece of modern technology/knowhow, Do you go? If so when/where and with what.

Personally i would go for ancient Sparta (300 kind of time) and with me i would take modern medical knowledge e.g. infection/aseptic techniques, surgical knowledge/instruments etc. I just have a real penchant for the warrior culture, i love the idea of being rigorously trained and the honor of being part of that army.

Thoughts?

EDIT: One time shot implies that you go back and you stay there

I would go back to the early civilizations with a lighter.

I would be GOD!

EDIT: NO, WAIT! Better idea!

I'll go back to the dinosaurs and bring with me a whip!

I'm going to tame a fucking Tyrannosaurus!

EDITEDIT: Make that a whip combined with a chair. And a hamburger.

I'd go back to Medieval Europe with an AR-15 with a C-Mag (and spares, if allowed).

This is my BOOM stick!

I would go to the time of Beethoven wth a chargeable electric keyboard (fully charged of course) and see what he could do with it.

Go back to the Edwardian era with a steam engine. Hopefully we'd end up with some awesome steampunk-universe afterwards.

I'd go back to 1910 with a reinforced bomb shelter.

I would then live through the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s as these would be the best times to relive imo. I would then use the bomb shelter to survive the wars, bam.

I would go back the medieval days with a time machine. (Does it have to have been invented?), then I would go back to the medieval days with medicine. Celtics ftw,

Actually funnily enough, HUBILUB ninja'd me for first post on this one.
I lay in wait for 5 hours.

Now I know how trench warfare felt like... It is awesome! I want a game of it right now!

Well I'm 16. So unless disease gets me, I'd survive into old age.

And if it comes down to it, I'd supply my bomb shelter with food, medicine and games. It may be fooling the system but I reckon I could swing it.

Uh huh, yeah.



Great fun!
Well at least it beats people bitching over no dedicated servers.

Unless the developers that make the game decide to take them away.
