Etc. Actually, I happen to BE descended from Hong Xiuquan. What a coincidence. I'll be careful not to kill him until AFTER he has sired my g-g-g-grandfather.

Now we just need Vort to do the fixing everyone's mistakes thing and we'll all be set. Rob Osborn and Zarahemla (bless his heart) can be the noobs who keep going back to kill Gadianton.

Apparently, my ancestor was a simple farmer who just happened to have the same name. He taught me how to get my victory garden going. So, I just went back to kill THE Xiuquan. But it was when he was already old. So, not much change in the timeline... Wait... Who stole my cheese? Edited June 23, 2018 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunday21 3587 Report post Posted June 23, 2018 I vote @NeuroTypical for moderator trying to keep young time travelers from killing future generations. In fact, I would love to read one of his sage comments this very minute. @NeedleinA could chime in with helpful technical support. @zil could make puns and word play while the universe is being destroyed...well she is a verbal wizard! In fact @MormonGator could continue his domestic pantomime while the world is being destroyed! That would be chilling! 1 2 NeedleinA, NeuroTypical and zil reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
