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 am very disappointment with your recent abandonment of the one post topic. It gives me no joy, but, as a consequence of your blatant disregard, I must curse you.
May your groin be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels, and may your arms be too short to reach.
I don't know, but I do know that you definitely disregarded my entry into your earlier half-round!

Hello...
That's why I said '18 hours'... anyways, I was waiting for 5 days to judge.
I'm sorry if you can't read...
First of all, you said that with absolutely no context in the chatbox. I did read, you said "18 more hours!" To what, exactly? Was I supposed to know you were waiting for 5 days to judge? I don't remember you saying anything about that.
I'll admit you were randomly posting vague countdowns in the chatbox, but you never said anything about what they were for. I even sarcastically asked you if that was how long it was going to take you to judge the one post topic("2 more days"), but you didn't say anything.
Second of all,

Did you not take out of this post that I was mad at Jazz for his poor judging methods?
The Famicon came out in 1986. Last year was the 25 year anniversary for Super Mario Bros.
The arcade game Mario Bros came out in 1983. That was the first game Mario was named Mario. He appeared earlier in Donkey Kong, which I think also came out in 1983, but he was called Jumpman in that game.
Edit: I just checked (without using Google) and apparently Donkey Kong came out in 1981.
Partially. Donkey Kong is correct, 1980 is not. 5/10

Mario Bros.? (Not Super Mario Bros.)
Donkey Kong?
You can only guess once, and you had to put in the date of the game.

I did a report on the history of video games... I should know this >.<
Well the NES in America came after the crash in 1983, so it was 84-85 but I think donkey kong, the arcade game, was originally in Japan's at... 1981?
So for Jumpman I'll try 1981, and Mario Bros... 1984? These are in America though, not Japan. For Japan's Mario Bros I'd take a stab at 1982.
It was indeed 1981, but the game was not called "Jumpman", instead, the player was called that. Also I thought Mario Bros was 1985, worldwide. o: 7/10

Jellsprout and SMF win this half-round!
And for Shos's round, "orange" is a pretty good rhyming word.
I was going to rhyme shos' name with a bunch of things, but then I realized that I don't know how everyone pronounces his name. I personally pronounce it kind of like "shows"
Um... Overlord, adored, ignored, afford, this board, going for record, big sword, toward, restored, reward, vocal cord, Henry Ford, Heinz Ward, aboard, abhorred?
