Anyone who watched the thing: Afaik you can specify the time and cause of death and the book will try to make it a reality. So, could you just write in something like “Shot by a sniper from the reinstituted USSR” in 20 years from now? Or “Died 5 minutes after delivering beans to Dirt_Owl?” In that sense, couldn’t you use it as a wish list already?
Yes, but there are limits, if you tried to use it to reconstitute the USSR it would just default to heart attack. But you could 100% use it to deliver beans, as long as you’re ok with the person dying afterwards. I think there’s a time limit to how long you can control a person’s actions before they die but I don’t remember how long.
iirc if the preconditions cannot be met, then the person dies of a heart attack at the specified time, so can’t exactly work that way. I think light tested that capability of the note on the prisoners early on
my niece will get that 200 piece dinosaur jigsaw puzzle i saw last week
