Rules:

  • The messages can go as far back as the beginning of the 7 day period (the moment you found out about your assassin is after you)
  • You can only send the messages if you have cell signal (maybe don’t hide in the woods, you assassin might be there, and you don’t get a do-over 🙃)
  • Your phone is immune to damage and malware (although spyware and keyloggers can still be on there, but they can’t affect the system, just on “read only” mode). Auto-updates are now disabled by default
  • If assassin got your phone, they could send false messages to trick your past self. (Don’t lose your phone!)
  • At the end of 7 days, the Assassin will just drop dead due to time travel limitations, time travelers cannot survive longer than 7 days in the past (yes, the assassin is a time traveler 😉)

    First of all, if it’s my number sending messages back in time to myself, I could easily convince myself it’s me by sending a list of my passwords back in time.

    Second, tell myself that I’m screwed no matter what because there’s no way I could defeat a professional assassin (assuming it’s professional), especially one from the future, and to probably just hang myself or some other form of suicide in order to mock the assassin by not letting them get the kill.

      Turns out you were the assassin all along and sending yourself messages to prompt pre-emptive suicide was your method.
