And be a complete and utter dick to teammates.
Is about roughly accurate to what a trolling Limbo can do to teammates. Well not literally, but the same level of frustration.
That's backwards. The farther back you go the easier it should be to derail future events, not harder. So, no, you would not have to do that.
Weren't you the one saying this would just result in splitting off a new parallel?
Massive chaos initially? Well, that's definitely something unprecedented in events that change society for the better. Might as well never change anything at all if that's your argument. And I don't care if Negi gets turned into a ferret. Plus, those arguments are assuming Chao is even using her canon plan, which was not to deal with the Orokin, so it's entirely possible this plan is different.
If we actually succeed, I was going off the multiple problems with time travel?
...The hell is your argument? How does "Global chaos from exposing magic as real and that Mars is actually populated, potentially leading to the deaths of thousands or millions" means never do anything ever?
Pretty much. You think masses of people don't die when, for example, a tyrant is overthrown? Doesn't mean it's not worth doing.
Again, that's a nonsense argument. There's absolutely no reason that would be a prerequisite to prevent a society from forming, to the point where I can't see why you think it is. Provided there's no predestination paradox, you could prevent the USA from forming by playing with the life of a single person at multiple points in time, there's no reason the Orokin should be different just because they encompass a larger area.
They lacked the resources to be able to take it seriously.
You'd probably have to help change that with your time-travel, yes. You might also have to introduce some more advanced metallurgy, etc.
Almost. They had some serious issues that prevented their extremely primitive attempts from taking off, but they were working with steam technology at one point.
fuel, materials sciences and need. They simply lacked the fuel to supply large scale adoption of steam engines and even then those engines would have been rather weak since they lacked the metallurgy to get much out of it without it breaking.
I'm pretty sure it's considered genocide if you cause the deaths of millions of people to stop something from happening tens of thousands of years into the future. Especially when you don't know doing it will even have an affect on changing that event seeing as how we don't even know how the Orokin empire even started.
How is it a nonsense argument when we literally have no idea how the Orokin came to be? It is so far off into the future and its start so shrouded in mystery you would have better luck stopping Rome's founding by slapping Virgil upside the head every time he tries to write the Aeneid, hundreds and hundreds of years AFTER the founding of Rome. There is practically nothing you can do, outside of maybe killing enough people you MAYBE kill the closest genetic ancestors to the Orokin.
Because you have literally no idea how the Orokin came to be, you're hardly an expert in what would be required to prevent them from forming, which makes your bold assertions that it can only be done one way rather weightless.
It was basically a sphere filled with water with several spikes coming out that point parallel to the surface of the sphere with holes on the ends. They would put it over a fire so the water inside would boil and the steam inside would escape causing the device to spin. It was basically a toy. They knew steam was a potential source of power but lacked any of the actual tech to make it useful or the metalurgical skills to make such a device.
