[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 185621, member: 10263"] I would just demonstrate future tech if I were trying to prove anything. I think, however, a lot of people underestimate the difficulty of entering our society from scratch without resources in the world to create a fake identity, etc. Say a guy comes here from a century in the future. How does he even get to the point where he is sitting on a computer in some apartment shooting shit with any of you on the Internet? He can't even open a bank account. In the third world where he could possibly get by selling precious metals or whatever, he is just as likely to get robbed and killed. I think if there exists a time traveler -- and that's a really big if -- then he is coming in here more like Survivor Man where he needs to navigate a foreign society ( a society where he can make little headway in establishing himself and has no social connections whatsoever) in order to accomplish some goal of observation or collection. Then he gets out. The idea of trying to formulate a test to present to a pronounced time traveler is silly to me for this reason. The [I]problem[/I] of identification of time travelers is a nifty game, in my opinion, for teaching tradecraft, counterespionage, and surveillance skills. I just think you need to be realistic about that problem. Trying to interrogate random posters on an Internet forum who claim to be time travelers.. that's not really a serious effort. Think about the difficulty of establishing an espionage network in some foreign nation where your group has no contacts and no relationships. A time traveler trying to operate in some distant timeframe would be that problem with no operational support at all and no resources on the ground. No communication and no easy exfiltration.
