Guest Firaas Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Nicked this link from b3ta newsletter: www.johntitor.com It's laughable at first, but the more you read his quotes the more believable and more realistic he becomes...
Guest Will Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 quote 'Europe is a mess' well we got 3 months before the war starts... ??
Guest Palindrome Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Entertaining. Perhaps they'll make a film?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Nice and vague, (almost) aways non-commital. I'm a total sceptic, but its convincing enough for me to be interested in events surrounding the outcome of the next US election and in 2005.
Guest amo Posted September 21, 2003 Report Posted September 21, 2003 Yeah its not exactly the most beleivable article but it seems to all make sence! :|
Guest Firaas Posted September 21, 2003 Report Posted September 21, 2003 Hello, I found your site very interesting and provokative. It's one of the most convincing hoaxes I've seen and I would have sat on the fence and not outright condemned it. However, surely this clears things up once and for all... if you haven't seen it, the evidence is that a GURPS role playing game from the mid nineties has an almost identical plot to John's future - even the dates. The link for the rpg site is down now. But it seems to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that it is a hoax. regards PeterTitor is a liar. Albeit a good one, but a liar all the same. For some time now I have been lurking, first on Art's BB board, then on this board. I have reviewed the IRC logs and the other websites where "John Titor" has posted. Many have postulated on the motives of "John" and his posts- why would anyone go to such lengths to create a fabricated story of such complexity? How could one man keep such a story straight? Darby and others have pointed out the few inconsitencies that exsist within the various posts- others have pointed out Titor's soft dodging of hard questions (or out and out ignoring of the question) as proof that he is being dishonest in his story. Through all of this endless debate, there has been no REAL evidence that confirms, or dis-proves John's story. Accusations, assumptions, inference, mystrey, intrigue, a vague feeling of disquiet or a sense that it 'feels' right- that is all that we have. So you ask, how can I label John Titor, time traveller from 2036- from a war ravaged america that suffered a civil war in 2005 and a nuclear war in 2012? A time traveller interested in 'this time' because it is the calm before the storm? I tell you John Titor is a liar because of this: http://www.spearweasel.com/rpg/twheel/darkfutr.htm John Titor based his intricate world on a fantasy Role Playing Game. He played as a character FROM this fantasy world. The reason he was able to keep such an intricate world straight, was because the history was made for him- he need only refer to this 'module' for refrence. The RPG game this is based on is called GURPS- it has modules based on time travel and alternate dimensions (sound familiar?) The website I refrenced has a RPG based on a near future strikeingly reminiscinet of Titor's future (remember the escalating conflicts like Waco?) (remember the conflict between city vs. county?) (remember a reconstituted Russia that nukes the USA and China and Europe?) All of it is detailed in a RPG module that was created in 1996! This module was altered from another module- in other words, there are other stories- any of which could have been used to create this fantasy world that has sucked you all in. I'm sorry I am the one to burst the bubble, and I have struggled with wether or not it is right to take such a intricate fantasy away from people (does anybody ever really want to be the one to tell the child that there is no Santa Claus?)- but I believe that the truth is more important in this instance. John Titor is a liar. His world is a lie. His evidence is fabricated to build credibility for a character he probably played once in a RPG game- people play dress up (SCA, Civil War recreation, etc.) John titor was doing the same thing- but he used you. John Titor, whoever you arem wherever you are- GAME OVER.
Guest Will Posted September 21, 2003 Report Posted September 21, 2003 but he says 'Europe is a mess' ;)
Guest zzz Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 There is some seriously interesting reading via "some" of the in-site JT links. I had no idea the time travel community was so vast. Or for that matter that there was even a dedicated community. :shock:
