I couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately, I don't have a backup of the old forum, so that's not an option. Here's what I can remember of the story we were thinking of (or maybe I'm making it up, I'm not sure):

Time travel has been discovered. Everyone knows everything about everything...except the future. It's so easy for Mechaians(?) to live in times where they are certain of what's going to happen that they live in fear of the future. It gets to the point where no one explores past the documented time line.

At some point, some bad guys appear, and much to everyone's surprise, no one knows when they came from. Obviously, they've come from the future, where no one goes, blah blah blah.

The player/hero is also from the future and has to go between times doing things to fix what the bad guys do and ultimately, stop them alltogether. It seems like maybe in order to save the world, he had to do something that would cause him to never have been born, thus he would die.

I'm not sure though.
