Rules:

  • History of the world before your birth remains the same; only events happing after your birth can be changed.
  • The other version of you must still be alive, you cannot go to a world that you are dead in. (This essentially forces you to murder/abduct your alt-self, so travelling has a ethical cost to it 😉)
  • There may be other multiverse travellers out there

(Btw, is it ethical to murder an alternate version of your self? Is that even murder or just self-harm technically?)

    I mean, if another version of me just appeared, I’m gonna feel threatened and probably kill him for self defence (so he doesn’t get ideas to try to take my place).

    If you’re the kind of person who sees an alternate version of yourself and jumps immediately to killing in self defense… then yeah, it’s probably a good idea to kill your alternate self in self defense.

      Lol, its kinda like a dilemma.

      If you are an absolute pacifist, you all live.

      If you are a war mongerer, many of you will die, perhaps all of you will.

      If you are like 50% pacifist 50% violent, the 50% of universe where you are a pacifist will get absolutely destroyed by the other 50% violent "you"s.

      But, I can’t be sure. If there is even a chance of them being the evil ones, I’ll have to give up any shred of pacifist ideals that remains in me and just go total “kill or be killed” mode.
