Absolutely! So you do intend to expand on the story and take it further than the voting? As in a novel? Or do you not intend to go that far. You do have many topics on your list. 
Time Travel- If it is possible then what good use does it have?

Yes, I’ll go as far as it takes to get a satisfactory result!

Awesome, count me in.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Question : if this was a novel, what would you call it?

One Man’s Quest to Change History… For The Better! That’s my best guess for now, though this won’t be a novel. It’ll be reality (in one way or another)!

Quite so… Imagine if the universe is some kind of public transportation that travels one way from the root (which is the beginning of everything) to the end of the branches. Everything inside the universe (transport) is responsible for its steering wheel, which determines which timelines (branches) this universe will go to.
Note:
Public Transport = Universe
Branches = Timelines
Now, if someone goes back in time, they’ll leave the transport and ride a new one. This new transport will obviously be left behind and will move to different branches. Now, to actually go back, the first thing we need to do is to pinpoint where the previous transport would be, in which branch, and how far is it into the branch.
In a tree with a finite number of branches, pinpointing such things is difficult, and with an infinite number of branches, it is practically impossible. The only possible way to pinpoint those is with luck, and the chances are still 1/infinity, which is pretty much the same as impossible.
That’s a great analogy.
Locating the precise point in time and space to return to would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, given the vastness and potential infinite number of branches. Wven if we were able to locate and return to a specific point, the potential butterfly effect and unintended consequences would further complicate things, leading to an entirely different chain of events or outcomes.
If we were to successfully travel back in time, would our mere presence in the past automatically create an alternate timeline or branch? And if so, would there be any way to return to our original timeline, or would we be forever trapped in the new branch we’ve inadvertently created?

To be honest I don’t really think that time travel is something to do with some machines. I am one of the supporters of the theory relativity. So I would say, If you change anything in the past or future, that change will only affect you. If anything you do affects somebody just know that it is probably because of their choices. That does not mean a felon should not be punished.In fact, the fact that he is punished for what he did means that his actions will affect his life. I hope I could explain.
Here is an example: ( It is a fictional story)
A girl who lost her twin, decides to time travel to prevent her twin’s death. She does something to delay her sister leaving the house to avoid the accident and When she returns to the present, she realizes that her sister is still not alive. After a while she learns that her sister died just because of leaving the house a little late. So making her leaving the house late is the reason why she died.
According to me, trying to avoid some bad things with time travel can make it worse.
But there is more to think about…

Oh, for Pete’s sake, gamerz. Maybe it would be better if you could just name the two or three people out of the 8 billion people on Earth who aren’t time travelers. Much shorter story.
You have to be the Will Rogers of time travel stories. Will Rogers, that singing, comedian cowboy from an era long ago, wrote a song “Never met a man I didn’t like.” It was his theme song for the Will Rogers Follies. Your theme would be “Never met a man who wasn’t a time traveler.”

Pamela Moore suggested that scenario to me 20+ years ago as part of justifying why John Titor was here. I gave it some thought and decided (and boy did she not like what I decided): One man’s fix is another man’s mistake and vice versa
So Time Traveler A views an historical event, decides it was a mistake and decides to fix it. Bada bing! It’s fixed.
Time Traveler B then views the event as “edited” and decides it was a mistake and decides to fix it. Bada bang! It’s fixed.
Time Traveler C views the “double edited” event…Bada boom! It’s fixed.
What was the exact scenario Pamela proposed? To kill Hitler as a youth, of course. And so I asked her, what good is that in a world where time travel exists? She didn’t get it so I had to tell her. Time Traveler B goes back and saves the murderous little brat. Then comes Time Traveler C who murders him, then D, n, n+1…
In the mean time, because of all the “little” changes each “fix” introduces, WWII and who, exactly, were the100 million human beings killed in that war is so completely changed that there isn’t a single human being left on Earth who existed in 1946’s original history. By about the 5th permutation it is likely that the revolving door comes to a stop. By that time no one remembers what started the cycle in the first place.
Besides, getting rid of Hitler doesn’t guarantee anything. Remember, NAZI Germany and the USSR were allies from the early 1920’s until 1941. They started WWII as allies by attacking Poland. They were so closely allied that when the UK declared war on Germany and the USA decided to Lend-Lease the UK war supplies, Stalin ordered US union workers in the Communist Party USA to organize strikes, which they did, to try to stop the US from supporting the UK. Killing Hitler could have well ended with Germany, Italy, Japan and the USSR as close allies, Germany never attacks the USSR and together they take on the Allies. Stalin didn’t have a big problem with his socialist brothers in Germany and Italy. It was personal and it was Hitler that was his problem. Stalin didn’t have a huge problem with Mussolini. Mussolini was a communist, a member of the Italian Communist party and he received congrats from Stalin himself when he was name il Douche. Mussolini formed the Fascist Party, a socialist party, because he disagreed with Marx’s idea of the international proletariat rising together to fight for Italian workers. In the end, for Europe, the USSR, Germany and Italy were there to decide just what form of socialism would prevail. The idea of NAZI and Fascist as being right wing politically was a post war fabrication by Stalin in order to distance himself and the USSR from the embarrassing alliance the USSR had had with Germany. On man’s fix is another man’s mistake.
Fixing history via time travel: It’s like the soldier who takes a rifle butt stroke to the mouth. Knocked out cold. With blood all over his BDs he reports to the doctor who tells him, “Private, I have good news and bad news. The good news is your teeth are fine. The bad news is your gums gotta go.”

Damn very well explained I will of course not change the past I will just go with the flow, actually i just want to observe the things in the course of time and also if one makes a time travel machine then the person must have an agenda or something which will alter other events.
“things” already been alternated… in your current timeline and the one you split out of …it is something that happen constantly… the runners of your domain … just so you understand elon musk is a no body that rep the ds it dept but this is about it… the real show movers that are the runners of your domain already did the worst damage possible to your kind and others… and that damage is called the iphone… the ai iphone zombiland … you have not seen anything just yet… but it is coming
