what if you froze time and then looked around and there were tons of demon/monster things like out of some Stephen King novel there all looking at you being like 'human you're outside of your time'

speaking of clockstoppers you *might* get away with casino cheating if you cribbed their idea for liquid nitrogen paintballs to force other chrononauts out of hypertime, i say "might" though because keeping the drat things cold in the hopper while still getting them to feed and fire properly is just a nightmare and a half. never been able to figure out a way to keep the whole thing small and subtle either, though the idea is sound (hell I've heard doing this can actually straight up fry someone's TCU, so if you want them off your trail for a bit it might be worth looking into)

All you guys are like "I'd cheat at poker" instead of "I'd take two or three chips out of every pot on the floor and cash them in over the next few days." Nobody is gonna stop you from cashing out a small haul once a week.

That is the problem, yeah. But it's not a huge one compared to learning to play poker competently enough to win without being obvious. You just need to get enough to fund the initial rounds of sports betting. Then that money goes into the stock market or real estate (legitimately). And hopefully you're set for life, since you're still free save 1000s a month by stealing whatever small luxury items & expensive food you want.

my friend (who is a line cook) was just telling me about his new job at a nice steakhouse they have some special lobster that they get for $40/each and they then sell for $165 a plate. The kitchen staff does not get tipped out, and although my friend is paid well for a line cook it's still a poo poo wage considering what they are doing. $17/hr cool but not when you're putting out 10 lobster tails that all have a $125 profit margin on them and the servers are walking away with $300-500 for a 4-6 hour shift. so what I'm saying is I'd freeze time and go steal all those lobster tails

all of this back and forth about betting and casinos is forgetting the only true way to make money with a time stopping device you set up the worlds largest bitcoin sale, and when you meet in person you freeze time and steal the usb drive that has the other persons bitcoins. Then you sell the USB drive on craigslist for like $5 or whatever you can get and then invest that $5 wisely.

I'd probably use it to kill a bunch of people tbh. Like, I'd resist the temptation at first and only use my power to play pranks or escape dangerous situations, but if I had the power long enough I'd almost certainly start using it to kill people. Bad people only, of course. I'd probably demonstrate my power to the government and have them drop me into warzones or the homes of dictators and I'd just kill everyone in ISIS or something and anyone else who pissed the US government off. Then of course my handlers would start to fear me and plot to have me killed but I'd figure it out and turn my powers against them in self defense. Then that would start me down the path of rooting out corruption in our own country and people would start to live in fear of me and I'd realize that I'd become the monster and kill myself. But actually I would have faked my death and gone off to live somewhere remote to live out my final years.

Unlike that batman cartoon or whatever else (X files) that has people getting found out when they gently caress with time this is just "Freeze time" so instead of someone being able to freeze frame and zoom in and enhance your face out of a blur there would be nothing at all recorded. Everything you would do while time was frozen would be between frames on any possible camera.

Also massive piles of poo poo and pools of piss everywhere because you discover a lifetime flushing toilets in single moment of stopped time doesn't quite work as well as you planned.

If you're really just stopping time then there is a chance you stop precisely as a camera is recording a frame of video (the chance goes up the more cameras are around). Any movement at all would render as a blur but a certain underdog special agent or other astute observer might be able to connect the dots

OctoberBlues posted:Assuming you don't live near DC, how would you get there? It seems to me it would almost impossible to travel long distances. An exception of course would be if you could fly a plane, but not sure how that would work with no air traffic controllers and planes just hanging in the air and whatnot? Nah. I don't think driving would be that hard. You could probably truck along the highway at 45 pretty safely, slowing down and sliding into the breakdown lane when you hit 'parked' areas. In cities though, yeah you'd probably want a motorcycle or scooter, at which point as long as you were careful you could drive down the centerline and around 'parked' vehicles problem free.

Also re illegal money chat, there are ways to launder your ill gotten millions, and diamonds are always insured so you're not really hurting anybody, and if the money laundering people are too mean and scary you can freeze time and make it look like they all shot each other after you make a bunch of deposits at one of those Swiss bank account places like in the Bourne movies

Do they keep track of scratchoff tickets? Like if you stole 100 of them would they know which ones were gone and be able to catch you when you tried to cash them in? Because even though you might not make a lot, it would be fun to have unlimited scratchoffs

Have a trusted loved one go to Vegas and bet against the Patriots with a bunch of stolen cash. Meanwhile, you buy a ticket to the game. When Tom Brady is being tackled, stop time, then go on the field and demolish his knees with a tire iron. If the team you bet on is still losing, repeat with other star players until they aren't losing anymore.
