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

I'll go back in time 1 year to stop my parents divorcing
Can you feel your heart burning?
Can you feel the struggle within?
The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make, you cannot kill me in a way that matters
I actually don't know what I'd do. The chances are I'd spend so long thinking about it someone would run off/fly off with it before I decided and the decision would be made for me.

I'd use it to go back to the month before. this way, I can dump everything I do in life and only have fun and spend my money wherever I can, and my parents money etc etc; cuz in a month - I'll get a time machine, and restart this month!! infinite awesomeness!!!!
Wait, when you arrive in the past, you can interact with your old self, right? Or do you "replace" your former person?
If so, I'd go back and make my parents invest all their money in Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google, etc...
Of course, I'd somehow accelerate our internet development and become famous, and probably bring some technology and use that to screw with people's minds... as well as make money.

I'd go to 100000 BC to see if Christianity or evolution is correct. If I get there at all, the evolution is correct.
A very noble idea, but you're going back a bit too far IMO. If scientists are right, there won't be other humans there. Too lonely, plus you'll go insane from lack of social interaction. Unless you bring a volley ball with you.

By one time use, I assume you mean that I can only use it to get there? In which case I would stay put in the present because if I go to the past, there's technological decline, and if I go too far into the future, I could be stuck in a wasteland.
If it's a there and back thing I'd clearly go to the future. If there's still civilization, I'd figure out what's happened in the past 200 or so years, and then decide whether or not I should go back.
Boring.

If I went too far back in time, all rules of physics would collapse, resulting in me disappearing from never existing at all. If I went too far into time, again, all rules of physics would fail, resulting in me disappearing from me dying of old age.
But, if however, I went back 11 years back in the good ol' days of 2001, I would call 911 and demand the police to tell the people in the twin towers to evacuate.
You, sir, are a truly honorable man. You're logic is a bit off on the "dying of old age" part. -1

Doesn't work that way, sorry if that's mean. The only people capable of this are your parents themselves.

Simple, fairly good reasoning, but a bit unimaginative. You have a time machine for goodness sake!

That is absolutely brilliant. However, once all you're money is spent the first time through, going back again will mean all your money is already gone. Poor choice.

Why in god's name would you give it to the FBI? At least give it to some scientists so that it doesn't disappear forever!

Go back to 1999, bring coins from the future.

tell everyone i'm from the future and that the Y2K computer crash is real.
And then you get hauled off to the loony bin. Congratz.

You don't replace yourself. Touching yourself is both gross and will possibly tear a whole in the fabric of reality, so don't do that. The rest of it is good though, minus the vagueness of it.

tell everyone i'm from the future and that the Y2K computer crash is real.
Wouldn't that be a little bit unusual, even if you were to convince them you were from the future?
"Oh hey, I'm from 2012. Yeah, Y2k is real, you guys are all gonna die and the world is going to end. You can trust me on this one because I'm from the future and I saw it all happen 12 years ago."
And though it was an excellent idea I think if Cedric tried to convince anybody important that the Twin Towers were going to be Attacked and told them he knew this because he came from the future he might just be sent to a psychiatrist. Alleged time traveling 12 year-olds are not highly regarded for their truthfulness, at least not yet...

I predict that the Giants will win because Tom Brady is overrated and would get tons of praise if he won this game regardless of his performance, and also because everyone else is picking the patriots to win, so if the Giants win then I'm the only one that predicted the correct winner, whereas if I predicted the patriots and they won, I would have to share the title of winning with all of these other guys.
But having actually followed the NFL, both of these teams got here on luck. The patriots basically won on a missed field goal, and the giants basically won on a fumbled punt.
Those who bought the commercials are the real winners.
