[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 184898, member: 10263"] If you want to make up a time travel hoax, the best things to do involve basically the same thing Titor did. Speak non-specifically about future events. Use the multiple universe interpretation of quantum physics so that actual historical deviations are irrelevant to your story. Create a rationale for why you cannot or will not divulge scientific information (in this case, you claim to not be a nerd and have no idea how this shit actually works outside what everybody knows on the Internet in your timeline). Once you do that anything can be used to justify your story, and any attempts to debunk it can easily be explained away. It's a perfectly circular narrative so it's always self-consistent no matter what people discover or what happens after you post the story. What I would find most compelling is for a time travel poster to come on and explain to a time travel forum what new disruptive technology is about to come out, and suggest some investment decisions that would make a return in the very near future. Follow that up with his story. Then if this disruptive technology comes to pass, then his story is going to get much more traction in the future, especially if the prediction of the disruptive technology is very risky. It's not going to change much because few people read time travel forums and fewer still would act on any financial advice given by alleged time travelers. But after the fact his story will have some credibility. [/QUOTE]
