is it possible for a time player to travel back in time once the session becomes nearly unwinnable, and kill their past self and take their place in order to make sure the things that led up to the failed session doesn’t happen? sorry for rambling

I think if you kill your past self all you’re doing is Dooming the Timeline anew, because the you there then has no way to have actually gone back in time- Ergo, it wasn’t a time loop, ergo you’re Doomed now, and hence you killed Alpha You, hence Dooming the entire Timeline. If you go back to change things to prevent certain Doom, the you that went back in time is automatically, 100% guaranteed Doomed and going to Die, unless you Sprite yourself, or I guess use some sort of resurrection mechanism?

That’s a good question though- Would a Doomed Player being resurrected STILL be Doomed to die again? Would a Doomed character wearing the Life Ring get resurrected and constantly have awful luck and die over and over while the ring keeps them alive?
