@Mestiv for sure  He's a rock star in my book for his work on the new WoB archive.  

[Jedal he/him]

@Mestiv is the best. Simply the best.

 

[Orlion Blight he/him]

[Straw he/him]

@Silverblade5 Pretty sure it's little wilson not Metacognition.

My vote is on Mestiv!

[Calderis he/him]

I'll jump on the Mestivwagon

I'm afraid I'm not very meme-savvy. 

[Erunion he/him]

As an old memer, @Darkness Ascendant - I'd say that @Mestiv took ALL the votes! 

But that you used that meme wrong.  

The question is; was it an intentional misuse for dramatic effect, or was it a lack of knowledge of ancient (well.... a few years is ancient in this field) memery. 

[Sunbird she/her]

@Erunion @Darkness Ascendant Even if that's not the established "correct" use of the meme, I think it fits really well with the caption to get the right effect across.

[+Extesian he/him]

Ok now I need to know what the 'correct' use of that meme is. Coz at the moment, this makes no sense to me.

 

[Erunion he/him]

@Extesian

Do ALL the things!

This meme is about someone doing ALL the things. In this case, it's Mestiv getting ALL the votes.

Cheers Erunion Consider me memeducated. 

Mestiv has kinda owned it. As the first person to vote for him, I can't take all the credit. But I'll certainly try.

I'll claim credit because I mentioned him as the one who inspired me to reboot this. So there  

[Mestiv he/him]

I claim credit, because of me being me

Anyway, my answers will be sent to Silverblade later today

[+Extesian he/him]

Well played, Sirs, well played

I shall diminish, and go into the West.

Uh oh, Mestiv is exerting his god mod 

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

Oh, don't worry I know I used it wrong. I see memes like film techniques, they are usually used to convey a certain meaning or emphasise a certain trait, but a good director knows how to tweak these techniques individually to create their own effect.

[Silverblade5 he/him]

Congratulations Mestiv! If you people want to see more of this, don't forget to vote.

[Mestiv he/him]

I keep my vote pointed at Darkness Ascendant

If anyone didn't notice, my answers are in the OP

Or, as Chaos suggested, also here:

Spoiler

1. Pictures! I have three. One is from couple weeks ago with my cats. The other one is from 8 years ago in a "shardplate"  The last one is with my fiancee 

2. My real name is Maciek Strzelczyk (don't try to pronounce my surname, it will hurt your tongues ). Fun fact: my surname can be translated to: archerfish.

3. I guess it's WoR or Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix. Can't really decide. Depends on the day.

4. I guess my biggest contribution is not done yet. Most of you probably heard about the new WoB Archive that will be released around Stormlight 3 release. I'm working on it, on the programming side at least. So far, I guess I didn't contribute that much. I guess I'm known for my signature that made some people scared for their privacy 

5. I joined the forum after I got hooked on Sanderson. I wanted to read some opinions, theories etc. Learn more about this Cosmere thing. But what made me stay here was the social part of the forum, not really related to Brandon's work. The Shard is a magical place, like no other on the Internet 

6. How many hours.... well... ALL OF THEM! Seriously, I'm mainly browsing on my phone, so any time I get a chance I check if there's something going on on the forums 

7. I can't really pinpoint one single moment. The general climate of acceptance and friendliness is what comes to my mind when I think of the Shard. The time after I made my signature was fun too, when many people wondered what's going on with it 

8. I think his greatest strength is how transparent his narration can be. When reading his books I feel like if I'm right there, taking part in the events he describes. I forget I'm reading a book, it's much more like watching a virtual reality movie I guess.

9. There is no romance written by him that I'd enjoy. Vin and Elend were meh, Wax and Steris were better, but still I didn't feel the chemistry between them.

10. That's a really tough one... I don't know  My fiancee jokes that it's "Winnie the Pooh" 

11. As many of you know I run a temporary house for cats. We take care of homeless cats, heal them, tame them etc, then look for a better place for them. Apart from that I like to tinker with computers, my signature and the new WoB Archive are the results of this. Now, I can't wait to read about other Sharders

Cool answers @Mestiv

I vote for @Argent if he hasn't been previously. 

[Chaos he/him]

I like the answers, Mestiv! Now I'm working on pronouncing your first name

Could I make a suggestion that the featured member also post his responses in this thread? The OP is good for archiving but as a browser you might like to catch up on the latest posts.

I have an unconventional nomination: myself. Let me explain! I am not trying to be a douche. I suggest this because I believe Silverblade tried to feature me eons ago and I guess I was very busy at that time, so didn't have much opportunity to respond. Oops. Sorry Silverblade. Sometimes I am super busy. I'm also busy now, but differently busy as I spend a lot more effort on the Shard and its related things

Still that's an unconventional selection and not in the spirit of this thread, so if that does not suffice, I nominate Pagerunner, who is super awesome and has very impressive spreadsheets on his WoB work. It's awesome and he deserves to be highlighted for that and his theory work.

[Left he/him]

Are we allowed to nominate more than one person? If so I nominate @Chaos and @RippleGylf one for being an amazing admin and working so hard for this site and us, and the other for her work in SE, RP threads, and for being a sanderfan I know in real life

If I can only vote for one this round it will be for Chaos, he's just done so much for the community

[Straw he/him]

@Chaos is my nomination.
