I’ve never played the game either. I know you can do stuff like declare that you will go back in time and put an item out of sight, then reach there and the item will be there. You can also declare that you will go back in time to help yourself out of this mess, and then your future self will appear to help you.
I guess the rule is that the stable time-loops must be decided before it gets noticed. It’s not the kind of rule you’d expect from reality.
I’m not sure what happens if two people fight and try to use this tactic, even though only one can win. My guess is that the winner has to trick out time to prevent fragging. For example, give their enemy the tools they planned on giving themselves, or sending an actor back to pretend to be their future selves.
Would you mind outlining that answer, for those of us who aren’t familiar with the game?
