If you don't have a great idea when you learn that it is your turn, don't just make a round that you don't even think is good. Try to think to come up with a good idea for a round, and then if you can't, then make a round that you don't even think is good.
Also you're encouraged to start the round in this format: "You have one post to [what you have one post to do goes here]"
Additionally don't end the round early. Rounds should be at least close to a day long. If you started the round at night, you can't end it tomorrow morning. If you started it in the morning, you shouldn't end it before you go to bed.
Interrounds:
The people running rounds are ideally supposed to judge approximately 24 hours after they start the round, but from now on if they haven't judged after 30 hours (6 hours late) then anyone is allowed to start a round between rounds, like the guess when Livio will start the next round, guess how many dogs shos has, ect.
You're also allowed to do this if the round has been judged within 30 hours, but the next guy hasn't started their round within 12 hours of the other round being judged.
The catch is of course that the round could end at any time, because these rounds last until the current round is judged and the next round begins.
You may judge rounds however you'd like, but at the end of the round there can only be one winner.
These rounds will be marked as ".5"s in the previous rounds and winners
Off topic, I won the time estimation round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets check this out.

July 5th, 2011, at 11:30 Interguild time
Oh yeah I just did...
Well, everyone guessed an earlier time than you, and Livio posted at 3:30, so normally you'd win except he posted it on July 4th, and you all guessed July 5th.
Hey guys! I know you all love boosting your karma ranking on the Interguild. Therefore, I have a proposition. Anyone who posts patriotic things about THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA will have their post karma'd up by me. I am trying to show America how much we all care about her, because I love my country. Even if it is not your home country, write something great about it! God bless America!
How insulting! Americans don't need to be compelled by karma to expressed their patriotic feelings! 1/10

This is the national american pastime. Who needs baseball?
First of all, for something to be a national pastime it actually has to be popular first. Second, half of patriotism is about tradition, and America's love of baseball is pretty significant tradition. 3/10
Criticizing your country's stupidity through the use of satire? That's true patriotism! 9/10

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command!
With glowing hearts, we see thee rise,
The true north strong and free!
From far and wide O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee!
God keep our land,
Glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!!
There's nothing like a good national anthem to get your spirits up-- wait a minute, you gave into deku's cheap trick? 3/10

Personally I like America, but because when i type in "4th of july" the auto part of it goes to, 4th of july cookies, 4th of july desserts, and 4th of july recipes..... :/
You're either talking about google searches or your browser's form auto-fill. Either way, there's not much patriotism being expressed in this post. 2/10

We New Zealanders love Kiwis. Kiwis are our pride and nature. We refer to ourselves as Kiwis. Kiwis are native only to New Zealand. Kiwis are awesome. Therefore, New Zealand is awesome.
Besides, we have some very nice forestry and good views! Lots of rare species of birds too!
You refer to yourselves as Kiwis? Anyway, this sounded more like a travel pitch rather than a patriotic statement. 4/10

Hindustan!
Let me run through a few of India's greats...
Mahatma Ghandi. - So awesome, they changed his first name to "Great soul".
Sachin Tendulkar. - Arguably the best cricketer of all time. He also holds over 70 world records. Beat that Swann.
Mother Teresa. - Needs no introduction.
Ravi Shankar. - Epic sitar player.
All of the Gurus. - They guided the sikhs.
Now, we are so awesome, we go to the border of Pakistan and us and we booth chant about how ledgendery we are. <---- Ture.
I am actually only half Indian and the other parts English and Welsh. I was also born and bred in England.
However, for the purpose of this round, I am 100% Indian!
Great job! Unfortunately, the historical people thing was already done. 8/10
1. The name of the website reminds me of HatIC which wasn't a bad game
2. You can legitimately blame stuff on Haily there
3. It has that cool auto-refresh feature
4. It automatically resizes avatars (or so I'm told)
5. Their topics autolock, which helps prevent spamming and necro-posting.
1. it's cool
2. it's cavey
3. they've got good stock photos
4. lots of the interguild's core features came from there
5. I used one of their scripts once.
1. I like that IceCaves has only sent over 2 members to us.
2. I like that IceCaves doesn't strive for perfection, because they know that they'll never beat the Interguild.
3. I like that the 2nd "C" in IceCaves is capitalized, because Icecaves would look unprofessional.
4. Thomas is civilized.
5. Hmmm..... the font.... font font font.... font.... the font is soooo smexy. Yeah, that'll do.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.

By my count, IceCaves has sent 10 people here. On Saturday IceCaves will have a huge update so it will beat IG. We will no longer be using the atrocious coding used on this site. The font looks the same on this site as IC... -4/10

If you were Captain Obvious I would have given you 10/10 but you aren't so you will get: -8/10
I believe everyone sucked in this round but even with a score of 1.28658468546534486/10, Quirvy managed to WIN!!!!!
BUT... since Quirvy is gone on vacation for a week the runner up SilverWINS!!!!
1. Cookies are the best tasting snacks
2. Everyone likes cookies, even animals
3. Cookies help you feel better
4. Cookies are addicting
5. There are over 100 varieties of cookies to choose from
1. Because of your awesome drawing skills (especially the comic)
1. You should give me a cookie so you can have it back. I sleep most of the time.
Tasty. Belong to the dark side. They make girls fat, thus they don't eat it, more for me. You're awsome cuz I need to say it to win. And you should give me a cookie cuz I hereby join the dark side?
1. C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.
2. Cookie cookie cookie starts with c
3. If you take a bite of a circular cookie, it looks like the letter c!
4. If you take a bite of a donut it looks like a c, but it is not as good as a cookie!
5. The moon also sometimes looks like a c but you can't eat that
so cookies are awesome...
You're awesome because your name does not rhyme with anything.
You should definitely give me a virtual cookie because it would save money for you, since a regular cookie would go bad in the mail plus shipping prices are wayyyy expensive these days, so overall I'd be saving you like $500 NZD.

1. It's food. I wouldn't hear a starving African demand anymore, would I?
2. They are not regulated by the government (yet).
3. Can be made into virtually any shape (except Penrose Stairs).
4. Can be used for multiple meals for several days if large enough.
5. When was the last time a cookie insulted you? They're oozing with manners.
1. Your name is an anagram (thanks Dekudude) for "livers". Feel honored.
1. The terrorists will win if you don't.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.
Give me +karma. Give me +karma.
