May 11 Weekly Update

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500

Posted by Quirvy

[I, Quirvy, am kind of busy studying for exams right now, so the majority of this week's weekly update will be brought to you by Cedric]

This week's weekly update, brought to you by Cedric!

I am very surprised to tell you that Dando STILL hasn't made that post she's been putting off. We can only wait until she does.

Livio made a few appearances, and fixed the chatbox italicized names! Party on. [Livio's finals are over, so we can expect that his activity will be significantly increased from last month]

Through heated political debate [the dangers of spanking children and electrical sockets], the Politics Topic reached its 200 post! We can all thank Shos for that.

Darvince turned 13. I baked him a Caramel Crumble, which we all loved except for Isa who has diabetes.

The Interguild Island forum game has been unlocked, and Flashmarsh has been unsuspended! [But nothing official has happened there as of yet at

No new levels, nor videos. [Ed: This, actually]

[Some anonymous person (Neezles?) made an account called "password" which several other anonymous people (Darvince, Flashmarsh, Yuggy, Quirvy) people have logged onto]

Win of the week: Quirvy breaking the rules of the one post topic by posting twice

Fail of the week: Someone didn't like the way Jazz handled his half-round

And now the part you've clearly all been waiting for:

 Cedric		115	22.3
 Silver		 68	13.2
 Jazz		 40	 7.8
 Bmwsu		 34	 6.6
 Flashmarsh	 33	 6.4
 Darvince	 31	 6.0
 Thomas		 30	 5.8
 Yuggy		 28	 5.4
 Quirvy		 28	 5.4
 ...
 shos		  1	 0.2

And I've also come up with a completely useless and highly inaccurate stat to measure chatbox efficiency: Last week we were at -5.7, but now we're all the way up to 0.4!

I encourage someone else to come up with a good way to measure the health of the chatbox, because I don't have the time right now.

Weekly Update - May 5th

Posted by Quirvy

This week on the Interguild:

No weekly update was made last week, because I was busy with schoolwork! And I've been pretty inactive this week, so don't be shocked if I miss a few things or just in general don't have a lot to say about what happened this week.

To everyone's surprise, Livio has kind of been seen around a few times this week. I'm personally not too sure about what he's been doing on here, but I've seen him posting in the chatbox a few times.

To no one's surprise, Dando has still not made that post that she is blowing off.

Jellsprout made this "Pokemon Nuzlocke" topic which I actually don't know much about, but it appears to be a forum game that I probably won't understand well because I know nothing about pokemon. But I still encourage you to check it out.

The Interguild Island forum game has been temporarily locked, and Flashmarsh has been suspended, as a result of an unflattering exchange between him and soccerboy, regarding Soccerboy's death, a typo, and confusion.

Post of the week: Probably jellsprout just leaving something in the random chat topic for future use.
Fail of the week: Probably Flashmarsh being mad at soccerboy

April 20th Weekly Update

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500

Posted by Quirvy

This is the part where I give you a slightly humorous intro to this weekly update.

The drama surrounding the topic dedicated to finding shos a new avatar has finally come to a close, with Isa assigning shos the "woman shos" avatar, after they failed to successfully produce an avatar of appropriate size for the other candidate. The whole episode has inspired Bmwsu to try his luck and having people suggest avatars for him. So far it is acheiving just about the same amount of success; shos acts confused in the middle of his attempt, and ultimately, the process is taking longer than it should have (should have been done 2 days ago)

Last week, some heated discussion about karma rates took place in the weekly update's topic. This week's topic to get mad about and discuss is: How the poor avatar choices of other members affects your life

Yesterday some old washed up troll made a brief appearance, and people exchanged phone numbers not belonging to them in the chatbox.

Dando still hasn't made that one post that she has been putting off, and Livio is still inactive.

Flashmarsh made this forum game that's taking the interguild by storm. 'Interguild Island' is an apparently remote island where all of us have been dropped off to, and we don't really know what to do, other than to try to survive, and maybe kill others along the way.

Win of the Week: Flashmarsh's new forum game - Very popular so far
Fail of the Week: Jazz's Filler post - was not appreciated by most people.
Dud of the week: How this topic developed - Not all of it was this week, but: Shos received a new avatar, so it was successful in that sense... But the topic was really dysfunctional.

And now something that I know shos is really excited for, because he mentioned them at least twice this week while acting excited about it: Chatbox posts!

This week, I decided that I would try to not count chatbox comments that didn't contribute to any conversation, Cedric (14 counted) was the main offender that I felt necessary to take posts away from, but I also took 3 away from Yuggy, but this stuff doesn't really mean anything unless you really care about how many chatbox posts I credit to you each time I do the weekly update.

 Username     #posts   %posts

 Quirvy		164	15.4
 Yuggy		156	14.7
 Flashmarsh	154	14.5
 Thomas		113	10.6
 Cedric		 91	 8.6
 Jazz		 71	 6.7
 Soccer		 55	 5.2
 Isa		 53	 5.0
 Silver		 52	 4.9

This is your weekly reminder that you are encouraged to refrain from posting stuff that won't help to contribute to a conversation, when in the chatbox. This includes posts such as "=\" or "o:". Besides, we have an actual smilie for o:, it's called

But you shouldn't make chatbox posts solely consisting , either.

This Week on the Interguild.org:

Livio didn't show up this week. In fact, even though he participated during April fools day while logged into to a_neezles_a's account, his account hasn't officially been online since last month.

Shos is in need of a new avatar, so we've(and by we I mean jell did) made a topic for that cause! We're past avatar nominations, and have moved onto the voting stage, where we vote for which avatar we want to win.

Isa is seeing if we have enough people willing to give a fifth mafia game a shot. So far I think we have about 4-6 people willing to play along with 2 people who apparently are interested in hosting, and also Isa.

Silver's birthday was this past weekend. Normally it might not get mentioned in the weekly update, but it did garner its own topic, and it hasn't been a busy week, so I try to fill this thing to the brim with as much stuff as possible.

Speaking of which, Dando made a post this week, but it was about something that didn't exist when she declared that she was putting of that one post, so we do not think that she has made that one post that she's been putting off on yet. If we hear anything new, you can count on us to not be the first to report about it here on the weekly update.

In other news, Thomas has been crowned the official king of the chatbox. Using his newly acquired title, he's made plans, but thus far they have not been implemented; The chatbox ban feature remains, there is no official enforcement against obnoxious chatbox names, and at least four times people have used the phrase "This chat box belongs to Quirvy".

Post of the week: Dando's interpretation of my avatar nomination
Fail of the week: Shavey Dave's big trollface
Duds of the week: Everyone who nominated an avatar to shos got a -1 and a +1 to their post

And now for your weekly chatbox standings!

Previously on the Weekly Update: Stuff happened

This week:

Livio came online. It was shocking, there was pandemonium, and it was really just because he needed to do whatever the staff wanted him to do for April Fools.

Which was, Flame's agents taking over the interguild. Recap can be found here.

The previous weekly update reported that Dando was planning on making a post that she was putting up. Well we have breaking news: No such post has yet been made. It is not known whether or not this post has been altogether scrapped. We'll keep you updated. And by that I mean we'll let you know when we write the next weekly update, because this weekly update doesn't cover things that will be happening in the future.

Random Chat Mafia Game starts here.

In other news, controversy surrounding the chatbox: Some members have been complaining some other members' behaviors have been annoying in the chatbox. Those accused members then responded to that by defending their right to post in the chatbox. This argument was first carried out in the chatbox, and then spilled out into Random Chat topic. I'd give you a link to it, but it's really not worth your time.

Oh, hey, speaking of chatbox, here are your chatbox stats for the week, cut off at 10 posts:

 User	      #Posts  %Posts

 Cedric		150	17.8
 Jazz		137	16.2
 Darvince	98	11.6
 Thomas		98	11.6
 Silver		96	11.4
 Bmwsu		65	7.7
 Quirvy		60	7.1
 Livio		58	6.9
 Soccer		27	
 Isa		20	
 Onarole	10

Honorary mention: Shos with 9 comments, Yaya with 6 comments.

Note that these covered chatbox posts from last friday until this friday began, so today's chatbox comments aren't included.

Weekly Update - March 30

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500

Posted by Quirvy

First official weekly update since December 9th!

Lets get straight to business. Things that happened this week:

We just had our first official weekly update in months! I say official, because Cedric made on for last week, but as a blog post. He took some light criticism for his weekly update (Is blog, too personal, ect) but it served its purpose well, because a week later we finally have an official one.

Livio's last login in is approaching the status of over 3 weeks ago. One would hope that we could see more activity from our other humble leader, but in the mean time, there's been a topic set up for keeping track of both his inactivity, and the things that we're gonna try to get him to do once he comes back.

rocket guy is behind on his one post topic judging. If you see him, remind him to judge. In the mean time, now's your chance to start your very on halfround, or make a late entry into his round if you still haven't done so.

Earlier this week, Dando announced that she was intent on making a post that she had been putting off. Days have passed, and we still have not seen this post, but that is not to be unexpected when it is a post that is being put off.

Not this week, but unmentioned in Cedric's weekly update, and recent enough to be included, is the addition of several censors, specifically ^superscript, _subscript. Then this week, -1 and +1 were added as test censors to see if they were adequate enough to keep. No one has really been paying attention to that, though, so chances are that they will stay.

DUD POST OF THE WEEK: Bmwsu thinks we need active members, as opposed to just more members. He also decides not to make a big post
DUD USER OF THE WEEK: Quirvy - Apparently some shenanigans went down last night, which ended up resulting in 19 positive rates and 19 negative rates.

Due to the lack of an admin being able to tell us what the high and lowest rated posts of last week, we can't really have those right now. Just assume the highest one was something in the art topic, and that all -1s were canceled out by +1s.

Also, new thing: Manually calculated chatbox stats from the past week or so:

Listed below are the number of chatbox posts I was able to tally from each user over the coast of about the past week. If you accounted for more than 5% of total chatbox posts, then I also added the percent of chatbox comments that belong to you.

 Cedric	  193	27.6
 Silver	  141	20.1
 Darvince  98	14.0
 Bmwsu	   74	10.6
 Thomas	   62	8.6
 Isa	   36	5.1
 Quirvy	   31
 Jazz	   27
 Yaya	   10
 Soccer	    9
 shos	    5
 Dando	    5
 Flashmarsh 3
 Harumbai   2
 Kenneth    2
 Billy	    1
 Onarole    1

One thing to note, though, is that this isn't to be viewed as a "LOL I GOTTA GET TO THE TOP OF THE CHATBOX STANDINGS NEXT WEEK"

This is more just because I thought it would be interesting to see. I came back from spring break, thought, "wow the chatbox really looks like it's just Cedric, Darvince and Silver talking to eachother. And then I added them up when I got a few free minutes, and I think they accounted for about 86% of chatbox posts. Now they only account for about 62% of total chatbox posts, which is a good thing. Not that it's bad when Cedric, Darvince and Silver post in the chatbox, but that it's good when the chatbox conversations are more broad, and more people are participating in them. In fact, I still think that that percentage is still too high, but it's not really clear if that's because the rest of us aren't doing our part, or if it's just because Cedric, Darvince and Silver chat a lot more than should be expected from a user.

Obligatory news post releasing competition results. Congrats to soccerboy and Thomas.

Back when I was their age, the interguild staff used to be so competent, it wouldn't take them at least an entire month to judge and release the results to a competition that just ended. (I don't actually know what age soccerboy is, but a year ago I remember us not being this bad, and I assume he's at least a year younger than me)

RESULTS - Break the Rules

1st: Eye Strain - soccerboy13542
2nd: Broken Beyond Repair - Thomas
