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'd be leery of getting splinters from straddling that broom. 4/10

some things you can do as a dragon are:
burninating the country side
burninating the peasants
burninating the peoples and their thatch-roofed cottages

Well, I like kicking, and I like-- never mind. About 7 years ago I was playing kickball for some reason and I kicked the ball so ridiculously far across my school's blacktop that it sunk a swoosh in the basketball hoop/luck.8/10

I would quote Isa and me in the critique of this entry, but that'd be confusing. Has promise, though.7/10

You have one post to come up with the best video game idea of all time.
You should invent your own, not just copy something that already exists. Mixing is fine, though I know saying that is going to come back to haunt me.
Ok, I've had this idea for a long time.
(this is a puzzle game idea)
You start out in the past, and each level requires a solution that destroys the level. There are many solutions to complete a level. Then, you move to the future where the next set of levels requires solving the levels that you have already destroyed before, and depending on your actions before hand the levels will vary in difficulty if it's too hard then you can go back before you completed the level and complete that level a different way...
For reference, here are entries already made in a similar round, that way no one can get away with stealing Dezzla's pizza game idea or anything like that.
How about a video game where you're an interguild staff member, and you are attacked by an endless always attacking army of neezle spam accounts, and you must try to fend them off with your staff powers until Livio gets back from his school year vacation...
Edit: Also, I noticed this in the round after:

I have to commend Yuggy for making that reference to such an obscure post that happened almost a year ago, unless Yaya used that elsewhere
An MMOFPS/RTS. You have two (or more) squads of 32 with one tactician. The tactician doesn't fight. Instead he looks over the map. He can build buildings and order his troops where to go. The troops are then used to kill each other and collect resources to build new buildings. These buildings include stuff like walls, turrets, armories, tank factories and respawn points.
The troops don't have to follow the orders of the tactician. They are free to do whatever they want, but ignoring the orders isn't advisable.
@Quirvy: I believe he has made the reference before. In my round that was something along YHOPT tell me what the best Christmas present would be, Yaya said pillow cases filled with spaghetti. I think he's made other references, but that's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

you play as a moderator on a website where the admins have gone insane so you have to destroy them along with trolls, hackers and bots to save the website!
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

That sounds horrifically awful. The game mechanics don't mix at all. 2/10

This is the idea everybody has had at some point, yet no developer ever bothered with.
You have one post to link to the best Tool-Assisted Speedrun.
TAS video features, among other things, balls getting stuck in the goalposts, giving your opponent free kicks behind his own goal that forces him to make an Own Goal, scoring from behind the goal, scoring negative goals (and mulitple of them at the same time), tie 0-0 when you actually win 88-2, making the goalkeeper run faster than the camera while holding the ball, freeze every player on your opponents team, teleport the ball, score goals not even possible to see on the replay, missingBUTYETSAVING a penalty kick...
If you don't want to watch it all, skip to 7:10 or so and watch the next twenty seconds.

I've already seen it before many times. I used to love it, but then EA released FIFA '12 and showed you don't need TAS to make crazy videos. 8/10

I'm not sure if this is a speedrun or even a full walkthrough, but I think it's at least kind of tool assisted:
Jazz, I need you to produce results. I know that right now the one post topic is a little rough and that you're already working hard, but if you don't give me a perfect score on this, you're going to end up being out of a job.
