The-Whiz as Curator
History
I was chosen to be curator (Thanks Scratch Team!) on October 24th. My term was going to be from Monday, November 23rd to Monday, December 7th.
Then, on November 7th, the Scratch Team contacted me again; the curator scheduled from November 9th to the 23rd couldn't do it, and my term was moved to November 9th to November 23rd.
Info
I'm going to show 21 total projects, each one for two days. The green projects are ones that are currently on the front page and the red projects are the ones that have been on the front page.

NOTE: People who beg me to put their projects on the front page will definitely NOT get on the front page.
Projects
11/9 and 11/10:
Physics by MathWizz.
Chosen because: This project has amazing physics and many different variables, that you can change to affect the way it works. It also incorporates lists, making the project even better.
Pie Chart by greenflash.
Chosen because: I like how the graph can change how large the sections are based on the total number of entries. I also like the fact that it is a one-sprite one-scripter.
Super Smash Bros. Ball Halloween Version by Lucario621.
Chosen because: I really the size-changing scrolling engine and the Halloween characters. Halloween's over, but this is still a great game. I also like the CPU.

IZE by Kanoa.
Chosen because: This is a great game with amazing gameplay. It has great physics and many different objects to interact with to get to the goal.

11/13 and 11/14:
Levy C Curve by spartans21.

Can I reccomend the projects on my favorites? My favorites is filled with lots of projects. I don't limit my favorites to just the best, I favorite all projects that are fairly good, and have something advanced and unique in them.

I'm just reccomending you to look at them, maybe for ideas. Incase you run out. Nothing special. I can't wait to look at what you choose

Congratulations.
I recommend a slightly old project of mine, "Pretty Colors II". It creates some interesting images using the pen blocks and loops. Here's the link.

why are you writing this, aside from "Informing us" that you're curator. It does seem like you're bragging.
