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
Sometimes when I'm out I check the Interguild from my phone. So if it seems like I go online a lot without posting anything, that's usually why, lol. Anyway, let's see here...
You have one post to come up with a crazy Interguild-related conspiracy theory and support it with evidence.
Oh man there are a few that I wish I could use. I want to do Thomas == Jellsprout, but conspiracy theories aren't supposed to have already been proven, so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to or not... What the hell, I'll try it and hope I don't get disqualified.
Thomas == Jellsprout.
How, you might ask? Allow me to enlighten you.
Well first of all, why would Jellsprout do such a thing? Because he loves trolling people. What, have you already forgotten when the interguild first began and he pretended to be a member trying to pass themselves off as Dando? Yeah, that's right, the ORIGINAL dando52 account. Not only would he make an account pretending to be someone other than himself for the sole reason of annoying us, but he already has once before!
I know what you're thinking, "That's nice, he could potentially be Thomas, but where's the proof?"
Well, as it so happens, there is more to this than just "he made dando52 and likes trolling so he must be Thomas" and a lot of it just recently happened.
You see, Thomas had dug himself into a hole when he called bmwsu an ass 3 times. He needed to turn the tables and claim to be the victim. He claimed that it was not his fault and that he was frustrated due to the jokes all when his karma first took a hit, an event he blamed me for. He talked about how much it annoyed him that he couldn't change his avatar, how people would -1 his posts regardless of whatever he said. No one was buying it, and then all of a sudden Jell came in and karma locked Thomas without asking the staff or anything, siding with him and relieving him of the threat of being karma rated negatively. If that isn't suspicious I don't know what is. And then to top it off, the next weekly update, Thomas gets his karma, avatar, profile and everything reset just like that! Do you really think Thomas would have been able to do that had he not had connections inside the interguild staff? I don't think so.
But the most damning evidence happened shortly after his karma lock. I was just surfing the forums at night, waiting for things to happen, when all of a sudden there was an unread post in the random chat topic. I clicked to see what it was, and found the following
Now I warn you that if you open this spoiler, you may never be able to look and jellsprout the same way again:
Spoiler:
Needless to say I was very confused when I first read that. I posted, "lol what was that, jell?" but it didn't go through because of a ninja alert. Thomas had just posted the same thing. I was very suspicious, opened the topic in a new tab to find jellsprout's post no longer in existence. I hit "Back" in my other tab and took a screenshot of the event, and showed it to Livio since the staff forum wasn't safe. Neither of us knew what to do so we just pretended that it didn't happen, but I figure now's as good a time as any to let the public know the truth.
lol quirvy, that's nice but I have the better one. you see.
Isa == dando.
well here we go. see, we all remember the dando=wileywoo saga. it was real, admittedly; and it fooled us all for a big while. well, Isa and wiley joined but a few hours after each other. with this topic, we can see clues for everything..
Firstly, we can see that, "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids! And your IP-looker-forer!". if we search dando's and isa's IPs, we see 20 IPs used by Isa and 45 used by Dando. suspicious? I think so! and behold, none of them match, almost at all! have a look - well, don't - I can't give you that information here publicly, but you'll have to believe me. of all the 45*4=180 numbers in there, and the 20*4=80 numbers in THERE, there are not even one couple of numbers that are the same in the same place. what are the odds?!?! oh wait, there is once .82 and once .62; a human can make mistakes, apparantly. dando learnt to hide her IP well, but not well enough.
Secondly, I shall present the following quote:
"Let it be," I said to myself as I sat in bed with my laptop, "that I can educate the others on proper level design! Lest their creations meander on nigh impossibilities, they must be shown the truth! And the truth will set them free!"
oh my lads and ladys, just how many times have we seen Isa tell new guys to look at his/others' levels? how many times have we seen that being said by both isa and dando? look, for example, at this. first post; 'difficulty up' and 'score down' come together. I KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.
from now on, she will be trying to give us reasons so that our unconscious(sub-?) learns that she is NOT isa. she will be trying to keep her work going, so that in the end, she will prevail when showing us her secrets. "Subconsciously, you saw this as a silly, joking comment. Behind it, however, was there much strategy!".
Third proof.
"Too much was already known of dando52. She was just some old cavemaker who had already exposed so much as her name, her location, and her appearance! Such details cannot be revealed in the name of a symbol. A symbol must be anonymous! ". so she claims that wiley is anonymous. but by the way, she made isa; a person exactly the opposite. so she saves herself - who would think THAT so well known, facebook and MSN have-er, is dando as well?
forth proof.
"But that was part of my plan! Being harsh and blunt meant that there would be less people to spot the resemblance between Wileywoo and Dando." see? she thought of everything, how to hide her tracks, and why would she no think of it further? is she a stupid person? but of course, we know she isn't; she's one of our best cavemakers, right? well she made a facebook account and shared it with us, but only after giving a random gamer from the place her fake IP is from to fill it with friends and photos, and she actually PAYS them to update statuses there! and look! " dammit, screw being nice!"!!!!
fifth.
"My name is Axel Wik, shos is Shoval Zoran, Ckjr is Kian Jia Ren. That's what I know anyway. You're James Brill, right?" - that quote, guys, is from July 27th, 2009. look! isa joined on the last day of2007. a year and a half of preparation. that's 4.5 times the time it took her to reveal wiley. will she now reveal herself as isa? look at this quote, by Isa; on the same specific topic!! here it is:
"I didn't know about you before wileywoo registered (on the same day as me, lol).
I had plans of searching through your posts in here to see what kind of person you were/are.......and then......reveal myself as you...I'm glad I didn't. It would have been awkward afterwards."
awkward eh?
Now look at wiley's post at that topic. Jeb is quoted there, disagreeing with dando's difficulty-goodness negative ratio. oh dear; dando still hasn't done enough for the cause. and take a look at that...
"
An abnormally great amount of thought went into this endeavor............but perhaps I should have put it out to a greater extent
"
and there are Panda, Guchi, Pollo...and thats it at the moment, but there have also been Orez, Nina, Gizmo, Puffin, Yuki, Sky, and lastly and most importantly, Scoop. so...8 exactly atm! nice one jell
Dando is taking too long to judge this round, so I will have take over for her. But let it be known that I am impressed by Dando's lack of judging, as well as all other things she has or has not done, as I am contractually obligated to.

This theory seemed plausible enough for me to consider it. However, the screenshot proof is entitled "2j1wvoo.png", a clear indicator that Jellsprout is in fact not Thomas, but Wileywoo. Therefore your theory gets 0/10
'jellsprout' said:
Quirvy is actually Dando. That is why he already knew what this round would be and could prepare for it in advance to write such a good theory.
Dando is too awesome to be the same person as Quirvy, who is but a pawn in the game of chess that I am playing. 1/10

Reading this confused me. Perhaps I stayed too long out in the sun and my brain got fried. Nevertheless, this seems plausible enough for me to give it a solid 5/10

While we're waiting for this round to be judged and the next to start, you have one post to write a haiku about Captain Oblivious.
(was originally posted before Silver's post)
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.
This is to make the topic more interesting because I'm noticing that we've been getting a lot of late judging and round starting
(BTW you can still enter into DBX's round, as long as you make it clear what you're entering into)
etc.)

but I have the better one. you see.
