@FoxElemental There will only be elections when the mod team feels they need additional people. And, like I said throughout the election, the majority of votes comes from people who are mainly on main. They see a high candidate score, high reputation and know that someone has answered/asked something interesting and will vote for them.
Or they might simply prefer what the other candidates wrote in the nomination phase/questionnaire. It's not like people have to state their reasoning when voting for someone, so there is no way to know why the votes are the way they are.
@MontyWild Good job on the election. Looking forward to see you in the mod team.
Oh yes, congrats to @L.Dutch and @Monty. I was simply surprised because I see Sece much more than Monty--now that I think about it, the name is familiar--and thought that since Sece guides a ton of new users, more of the newer users (with enough rep to vote) would have cast a vote in his favor. But everyone in the WB community is great, and you both had good questionaires, so I trust you'll make good mods.

Don't expect to be as awesome as @James, Crusher of Dreams, Snorter of Beverages
@James all you have to do is mod more than Monty and Dutch (No pressure!) I bet good honey and golden stars on you (No pressure!) I'm sure you'll win; you're too awesome to lose (No pressure!) I mean, obviously in an awesomeness contest, you win, right? Right?
. . . Starting to regret my good honey on this wager . . . . (No pressure!)
Awesomeness is more than a chatroom presence. It is a way of life, which is expressed in many different things. This contest must test for awesomeness in many forms. The first challenge: Pie baking. You can submit your entries to my PO box.
I have proof (well, not really) that there is no time travel in the future.
Because they haven't popped back in yet.
Unless, for example, they found themselves buried under Mt Everest, or they popped up in the middle of a battle somewhere and had a shell land on them the same second and got blown to smithereens.
You know, maybe the problem isn't the time travel, it's the space travel.
The earth is rotating fast, orbiting the sun really fast, traveling around the galactic core really really fast... So traveling even in instant into the past or future puts you really really far from earth.
I believe there's one where you turn the machine on, wait, turn it off, and then get in when it's powering down to travel back to when it was powering up.
@FreezePhoenix The movie involves time travel, so people keep looping back. It's mainly a joke on how complex the movie is, with people traveling back multiple times. I haven't actually seen the movie, but apparently it's kind of excessively complex.
@FreezePhoenix The first one is an XKCD about movie timelines, and the second one is the timeline for the movie Primer, which is a (apparently very confusing) time travel movie
@Hosch250 I still have a half-completed draft for the 4th part, but I haven't worked on it in months. I've sort of lost interest, and I'm not actually a very good writer. If people are interested, I may finish it up.
Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments, and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Despite external evidence of their competence, those experiencing this phenomenon remain convinced that they are frauds, and do not deserve all they have achieved. Individuals with impostorism attribute their success to luck, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent than they perceive themselves to be. While...
I mean, who bothers to invent a world for "telescope". I'm going through and calling them all telescopes. Especially since my word was like eight syllables.
@Gryphon That's fair, though I hear everything is cooler if you put the word quantum in front of it. Quantum telescope. I rest my case.

"It gathers quantum particles called photons and uses a series of mirrors and lenses to concentrate the quanta and let you see things that are farther away."
Are there any answers here on worldbuilding.se that inspired the plot, an scene or dialogue of a film?
I often see some answers here that would be nice to see in a film trailer in a year or two, so I wonder if that already happened.
To clarify on the scope; a film here is one that matches the s...
