Rather skip the ****hole completely.

That's what they said 30 years ago, and it still didn't happen. I think that, if space combat ever happens, it won't look like anything we can imagine right now.

We're every year closer to that, though. I anticipate it won't happen so easily due to elitism, but hell...unmanned drones might be cheaper.

[The E]

They are, no doubt about that. But elitism and institutional inertia are the immovable object here, waiting for an unstoppable force.

[redsniper]

eh, I voted +100. Near future FTW. Although I really could go for any of the + options, just out of curiosity.

[Nuke]

i think i forgot something

[blackhole]

As far into the future as possible. Assuming we don't blow ourselves up, of course, because that just makes everything meaningless.

[Enigmatic Entity]

In 118 years, there will only be a few thousand humans spread all over Earth. Some have information on various sorts of technology. A select few live out of range of the radiation effected areas. These select few are virtually in the tool age, except they're intelligent. One beam weapon exists on the planet. The last fortress built to stop other members of the same species entering has been destroyed on will by the entity created by the fortress' designer. WWIII and WWIV occur before the 118 years, WWIV being the Great Intra-planetary War of Sol, a nuclear war which reduced the human species' numbers down to the few thousand. In the year 2009, some electronic signals were sent by some humans regarding a suggestive fore-sight into the future. These signals caused to be displayed on the Cathode Ray Tubes and LCD "screens", technology used by humans in the select era to communicate with each other from all parts of the planet, as well as to provide an understandable interface for the humans to manipulate various "electronic" devices for their own wants.
The message further caused some members of the humans species to react unpredictably after seeing a computer message predict their behaviour for the short term.

Give me any time in history, and I shall adapt to it. Perhaps I have done so before, but even if I don't, I can adapt to this one, and I'm certain I can in another time.

Chose 0 myself, with reasoning:
* "near future" == all current problems still around, multiplied by 100
* "far away future" == current problems were solved by adopting some extremely limiting and dull reality
* any past == most of the cool things we have now aren't yet :/

There must be occasional sweet spots along the way, but who's to know..

[The E]

* "far away future" == current problems were solved by adopting some extremely limiting and dull reality

How do you figure that?

[Nuke]

i succeeded in nuked the earth by then

[BloodEagle]

Yes, but then that red-haired guy went back in time and killed you from the inside. Then F.A.T.E. started messing around with everyone. .... Yeah.

Limited resources, unlimited needs. Tough nut to crack.

No, a certain patient from a mental institute breaks out and kills him only to be hauled away by police screaming "I'M A BUNNY! I'M A BUNNY!"
