I know, but it is not just a matter of getting a new emperor. Rome was on the verge of collapse at the time, for much the same reasons it did finally fail a few centuries later. Constantine used the church he created to rally the people and breathe life back into the Empire. Without his intervention, an early collapse is all but inevitable. In addition, even after the collapse, the church was largely responsible for the preservation of ideas and information that would otherwise have been lost. They were... imperfect guardians for that task, but there was no one else.Bhaalspawn said:
Like I said, even corrupt institutions have their uses.
I teach myself how to do everything the proper - and most badass - way the first time. I'd also sell my future gadgets to the highest bidder.
I'd take a machinegun and plenty of ammo and live in feudal Japan. That would be legendary.
Just kidding, I'd do all of the above, very efficiently. I'd see where Bob Hawke went, invent a bunch of things (like the zipper, imagine the royalties), predict 9/11 and makes bets on whether it will happen or not, trade the Aztec guns for gold, observe biogenesis, co-found Facebook, take note of where gold mines have been located and exploit them in the past, advise the Japanese government on how high to build walls around their reactors, and just as I'm about to die, I would go back before the beginning of the universe. Unless time not existing is a problem, in which case I would settle for the very beginning. And of course win a few lotteries.
I think that means 'dick around', actually.
EDIT: Well there goes the Aztec deal, but the rest is pretty much fine. Thank Jim for bank accounts. Imagine the interest...

The rule above makes the poll options impossible to accomplish. I cannot alter my own fate without, in some form or fashion, altering that of someone else.uchytjes said:
I would want to see lifes mysteries. What happened to Amelia Earhart and if it was possible go see if the Big Bang did happen. I would want to listen to Mozart live and see a real Pink Floyd concert.
I wouldn't change anything. To say I could go back and kill Hitler is saying a bit much. Even with todays technology no bomb of today could reach his bunker. And any attack on him when he was in public would of beet met with deadly force.

Recently, there have been a lot of korean dramas which storyline revolves around time travelling. These stories are interesting and often I will imagine myself travelling back to few hundreds years ago. Things like how would I survive without internet, phone etc there? How the culture and everything. It's amusing sometimes..
1. Go back and fix the ending to Mass Effect 3 so that it didn't end as stupidly as it did originally.
2. Play through New ME 3
3. Go forwards to where space exploration, travel and planet terraforming/space colony creation and sustainment are able to exist and bring back all the theories, findings, and everything else on the topic and make numerous copies of it before going back in time to around 1994 and hand it all over and tell them to get to work on it. Then go back to my time and likely enjoy space travel far earlier then thought possible.
You're welcome.

Go back in time, to the year I'm old enough to start betting, so about 3 years ago, and give myself a detailed list of the winners of every football game from the time I leave to the time I go to. Give myself as much money as I can, and tell me to bet weekly on the teams. When I get back, should have millions, if not Billions. Travel again to about the end of Springish, or whatnot, and buy the Cleveland Browns. That way I can own my favorite team, and be the one to bring a championship to the city I love
And warn myself about the girl I share my first kiss with...that's one of those mistakes I just hate to have in my history. Okay with where I am now, just wish my first kiss was with someone else.
Other than that I'd travel around, occasionally going back and forth for fun (future for learning new games to bet on?!), and when I need gas, go back to when gas was MUCH cheaper and buy it then. Save myself a shit ton on gas bills.
Very personal gain, I know, but owning the Browns is one thing I'd just love to be able to do...wouldn't you want to own your favorite sports team?

pff, I would bring an audio recorder and play the "headshot" sound bit from Unreal Tournament.SpectacularWebHead said:

in all serious, i would go back in time and kick in the groin whoever invented/discovered mayonaise.
Or become super rich and use that money to fund any kind of scientific endeavor I find interesting and I would try to steer the space program in a different direction (i wouldnt care about using the money to buy things). I want to see an orbital elevator in my lifetime
