Apparently not example: the character fights against the loop, not trying to fake one, and it's not a loop — it's a new timelime. In any case, do not misuse a double star to create a paragraph break or add text arguing with existing text. A paragraph break is created with two \ one at the end of the line, one on the next line.
- In the Discworld book Night Watch, Sam Vimes takes on the role of the cop who trained him after the criminal who comes back with him kills him. Notably, the History Monk who explains things to him says that, because of 'quantum', he did and did not teach himself everything he knew; he's basically split time into two different timelines, one original and one in which Vimes replaced his mentor so that history will snap back into the proper position when everything's done.
- Vimes actually tries to actively prevent this from occurring since he does not want his comrades to die. However, in the end the people who were originally died still die but in a slightly different place, time and order. In the present events are remembered/forgotten pretty much as they did in the original timeline.

Moved from the Doctor Who examples in the main page, as this wasn't in fact used in the actual show:
- This trope actually lead this troper to wonder why the Doctor didn't try to pull this off in The Waters of Mars. Observe, the episode in question takes place on an isolated base in the middle of nowhere on Mars, which history says has to go kablooie both because its history, and because it kills the Eldritch Abomination under the ice. In addition, they Never Found the Body of any of the crew on Bowie Base One. It would be a simple matter to set the explosion on a timer (which is actually done in episode), hop in the TARDIS, and fly the crew further into the future, where they can start new lives. Not to mention there are no witnesses to notice a tiny blue box flying away from the base right before it explodes. But no, the Doctor had to mope around on the morality of the situation, snap and go Time Lord Victorious, and the captain had to go all suicidal.

Either this is an example or not. If it is, rewrite in one voice without the natter and misused double and triple stars. Read Example Indentation; a paragraph break is created with two \ one at the end of the line, one on the next line.
- The whole plot line of the 2007 Spanish film Time Crimes (Los CronocrÃmenes).
- This is another ambiguous example. It's more likely that Hector was originally seeing himself deliberately staging everything, not something different that he later tried to imitate. Of course, this raises the question of why the events ever happened in the first place if they existed solely as a recreation of themselves.
- Because if that interpretation is correct, there is no first place.

Since this also works for prophetic visions, could someone please add Webcomic/Erfworld examples?
