If you could go back in time, to any time period, who would you want to meet?

[NatJones]

Okay, random question, but being OBSESSED with British history, I often think about this!!

Ill go first - I would have to say the very start of the plantaganet dynasty, Richard Couer de Lion would be my number one, and his famous Mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and also Llewellyn Fwar

[Cepheus]

No one... I don't want to change 100 or thousands of earths history!

but.. you know... maybe... I would go back in time to meet myself and my self in the face for all the stupid things I've done in the meantime... you know like:

"DON'T DO THAT!" or "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND BOTH OUR SANITY - JUST DO THIS ONE THING ALREADY!"

[NatJones]

Oooo didn't think of it that way

I would meet Ľudovít Štúr (Our national hero) and have a little chat with him about some things

[Alistair]

My, that's a very interesting question. There are a bunch of important figures I would have liked to meet, but I think I'm with Cepheus on this one. Going back in time is way too risky because even if you're careful enough not to anything stupid, you might change the course of History in a major way without even knowing it. I wouldn't want to come back to our present time to see the Earth destroyed by war or disasters, or come back to a timeline where I don't even exist due to my ancestors never encountering each other (which would create a nasty time paradox).

Btw, it's Richard Cœur de Lion (French for Lion Heart). Understandable mistake because I can't think of any English word with "œ" in it

[DarkRings]

I'm not sure who would meet but it is also possible that because you time traveled history is as it is now and if you didn't time travel then history would be different.

[Ironbound]

Obsessed with British history, eh?

Well, then, I should like to meet all of Lord and Lady Mountbatten, General Dyer, Lord Lytton, Lord Minto, Lord Bentinck, Sir John Simon, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Birkenhead, and others who had administered the enslavement and destruction of my country. Just to see exactly what species of bastard they had been.

[NatJones]

Maybe I should have written without changing history

@Viridescent 2.0 I'm more towards the middle ages, I find the people and ways of life fascinating, more modern history doesn't interest me at all

[Combat]

I'd go back and punch Judas in the face.

Don't judge me!

[Alistair]

I'd go back and punch Judas in the face.

Don't judge me!

Yeah, that cheap bastard should've asked for way more than 30 silver coins. Like, dude, don't you value your own friend a little more than that

...I won't say it. I fear it would be too much for Reborn to handle. But I enjoy attention whoring enough to post this message and leave a couple of you guessing and the rest thinking "what a smug bitch".

[Adventurer]

I just would like to see some great and important battles. To see what has really happened.

But only as someone who can't be seen or hit.

Don't want to chance history in a way I can't predict or even die there myself.

[Josef]

I guess I would start at 1800 and experience history until today. Also it would be interesting to pay a visit to some of my famous ancestors and actually experience their rise to power when things got real.

Are we playing freakin Guess Who? K.

... so do they have a mustache?

[HughJ]

I want to meet Jesus

I'd have to brush up on my Yiddish

[Ojama Yellow]

if I had to choose one person, it would be tolkien. just to find out how exactly he became the worldbuilding god he was.

[Wendel]

just to find out how exactly he became the worldbuilding god he was.

But what about MY worldbuilding? c:

I'd go for something like the ancient Greeks or maybe Carthage, check me out some Dido or Sparta and Athens beating the shit outta eachother with the phalanx maybe become a rich man and play RTW in real life hue OH or maybe the beginning of the Roman Republic, that sounds fun too

[Yours Truly]

I would go back in time around 2013 years and high five Jesus. It seems like the least worldchanging thing I could do.

[Jmanultrax1]

I would go warn myself in grade 7 to not do a specific thing. That way I would save myself from a REALLY bad experience and embarrassing moment.

[PokeFailure]

I'd go back and give myself some lottery numbers, split 50% with the previous winner to be fair, and take about 90% of what's left to set up a charitable foundation for insert cause that needs thing. I can live off of 5% of a lottery and enjoy a comfortable life knowing I've tried to make a difference.

step 1. Time Travel

step 2. ?????

step 3. Oh god trump wo- oh wait that happened without time travel.

step 4. Profit.

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

I'd meet Abraham Lincoln, send him to the present, and tell him about the Internet. Then I'd get him to make a LinkedIn account so he'd be Abraham Linkedin.

[Tempest]

I'd love to meet Socrates, Voltaire, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, or Leonardo Da Vinci... some of the most intelligent people to ever walk the earth

[NatJones]

Another person I would love to meet is Henry VIII, just to see if he was the tyrant he seems like

[Guest]

[Zey]

I would really like to meet Brett Whitely. He is an artist who pretty much influenced me to do surreal art. I wouldn't mind doing a self portrait after a bottle of vodka with the guy. Although with that said, he might be the only person I would truly want to meet who I would have to go into the past for, or at least as of right now. My answer will most likely change once I've had sleep.
