What if Doctor Who was a member of the SCA?


"That's not how they did it back then!!"
"Oh, yeah? Where's your documentation?"
".... Okay, everyone into the box, we're going on a road trip."

Drop me off in California about 1830, then pick me up in about two years later then stop off in the far, far, future for a life prolongation treatment. Then back to 1876 and become the silent backer of a young Nickolai Tesla and J.P. Morgan.

*Warning!* I plan on changing history so hold on to your socks.

No, really, because in the present you'll be able to use them to harness and store static electricity.

Then back to 1972, avoiding myself and getting to know squires William Gates, Monte Davidoff, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne.

I figure get them laid and give them money and support for 2% of their net worth when they are 40 years old.

Oh, and I'll buy Wal-Mart Stock and sell it all for cash shortly after Ronald Reagan's 2nd term starts.

Do you See the damage a time-traveler could do?

... should we be afraid that you've got this all planned out? o_O

I happen to live in the city where Bill Gates lived when he was a broke student. Like many other broke students he was often seen hanging around the Frontier resturant trying to collect enough change to get one of their cheap meals.
So, I'd like to make a trip to the store now and buy large amounts of spices like black pepper, cloves, and ginger. Then a brief stop in Europe around the late fourteen hundreds to sell the spices. I'll sell the coins and such to a modern collecter and then find Bill Gates a year or two before he becomes succesful and give him some help in return for a IOU to be cashed in after the year 2000. This won't amke very many changes to the timeline and a small percentage of Mr Gates net worth would set me up for life.

*grins* What's weird is I was amusing myself at work last week by trying to figure out what I would do if I had a time machine.

You REALLY wouldn't get on the Doctors good side doing that though.

The first Doctor met a time traveller doing that sort of thing (The Meddling Monk), and he went and marooned him in 1066 - In the middle of a viking invasion!
And all that poor guy wanted to do was shake King Harolds hand.

(Of course he was also going to give King Harold REALLY advanced weapons so that his army could defeat said Viking invasion, so that they wouldn't be quite so tired when William the Conqueror invaded at the other end of the country just 3 weeks later.
Meaning that Harold would then NOT die at the Battle of Hastings, and the Monk [A rogue timelord] could then meet him properly.)

AND I suppose there was also his plan to get fabulously rich by opening a bank account in Victorian times, depositing a penny, travelling 100 years into the future, and making an absolute killing on the interest.
