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
You have one post to give me a funny quote in hebrew.
yes, that requires you to actually find a quote made in hebrew, which is funny; translated quotes will be disqualified brutally.
you are, of course, allowed to use Google Translate for anything you want *during* the search for le quote...
you will be judged by the following criteria:
1. correctness of the hebrew quote
2. correctness of the hebrew in the quote
3. funny-ness!!

1) get to work in a circus as a zombie
2) earn enough money to go to the US
3) start killing all the fat obese ones who cannot escape(aka, making them zombies too)
4) take your 150,000,000 zombies and kill all canadians, special emphasis on the destruction and humiliation of the one known as "Justin Bieber".
5) profit!
Lol, that's an original take. "I'll knowingly infect myself with the zombie virus, just so that I can devour you!" I approve.

Realistic zombies? Stay inside for a week until they rot away. I should be able to survive that long with my current supplies.
Cinema zombies? Close the curtains, lock the doors and stay inside. I'm on the 10th floor, so I don't think they will get this high. A good idea should also be to check on Facebook if any other people in my building are still here and making a grocery run early before everything runs out. If supplies run out while the apocalypse is still going on, escape the city on my bike. More reliable than a car and more than fast enough to outrun the zombies without any effort. Though I really don't see why the zombies would stay here when Delft is close to the second and third largest city in the Netherlands. They would probably go there.
Since I am on campus, I could also try to make it either to the reactor institute or underneath the Physics faculty. Those buildings are probably strong enough to withstand a bombing, so they should be able to survive the zombie apocalypse. They also have uranium and very, very high powered lasers respectively.
Edit: I also remember I have an area filled with greenhouses just outside of Town, so I can probably scavange those for food. I don't have to go through much densely populated areas to get there, so it shouldn't be difficult to reach by bike.
Dwarf Fortress zombies? Jump out the window. The only option is joining them.
Seems legit. I little disapointed in your lack of weapons though. Not even a crowbar?

About 15 minutes to the west and 20 to the northwest of my house are 2 very large urban areas, so I believe most of the ruckus would be concentrated there.
Assuming, all those above statements would happen, I'm pretty sure I could stay in my house maybe with the exception of a grocery run early on, while society is still intact. An extended family member of mine lives in pretty much an apartment that's attached to my house, so we have double the normal amount of food on a regular basis. I have a reasonably big backyard which borders on a swamp full of brush and mini-lakes, so any potential threat will have to try hard to get through, and then I could still dig a few pits in my backyard. My elderly Polish neighbors to the right have a vegetable garden, and they keep rifles on hand to take care of any unwanted rabbits. My redneck neighbors to my left have a a barn on their property back from when the entire area was farmland, so there's an ideal sniper post. They also are gun/ATV/fireworks enthusiasts, so defence and emergency methods of transportation are good. Pooling all our resources together, we'd probably last a while. My house doesn't have any guns, but we have an absurd amount of sledgehammers and pickaxes in my garage, so we're prepared for emergency hand to hand combat. If our situation is compromised (either by zombies or looters), I'll probably either flee north on my bike and take shelter in the development with tons of unoccupied houses, I'd bike east to the even more heavily forested/uninhabited area and disiappear into nature, or make a carbomb with the fireworks .
In the event of an bombing, I might be able to survive by going to the waste treatment plant to the south east of my house. I don't exactly know how fortified it is, but a majority of it is underground.
This is very good prep work. You don't get a perfect score because it lacks whimsy.

in my school planner, i've been planning for the 2016 zombie apocalypse.
currently it is May 24th 2016, and so far, Hawaii is the safest place.
The US East Coast, Australia, Eastern Canada, most of Africa and Europe, and all of Antarcica have been taken over.
I would advise going to Alaska or Hawaii.
Get on the SS not-Titanic. Obviously, since it is not the Titanic, it will not sink. That is the safest way to get to your destination. There will be weapons aboard. They're mostly blow darts, but they'll do. They kill zombies easily.
Meh, your plan doesn't seem very fleshed out. </bad_zombie_joke>

Print out a life-sized picture of a toaster and tape it to your kitchen wall.
@shos: the chances that you were going to get a legitimate entry to that were very low. Personally, I was considering using a translator to say something like "I am disqualified"
Maybe some time in the future you should make the one post round be to try to say something in Hebrew using a translator, and see how horrible it turns out.
I thought Shavey's post was funny, and then I lost it when I saw he spelled toaster wrong.
Shos, last night I was planning on translating "processing Shos confusion count" from English, to Esperanto, to Japanese, to Binary, to Hebrew, but I realized 3.5/4ths way through that wouldn't work because I'd need to replace all the 1s and 0s with ones and zeros and then space them all out so Google Translator would recognize them, but then the message would've lost meaning because with spaces the combinations of what binary code it could be were endless. It was a bad round to start with, though.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.

I have lasers and nukes. What more do you want?
That said, conventional weapons would be terrible in a zombie apocalypse. Bullets work by penetration and bleeding out the victim. It is useless against zombies. All it will do is splatter the blood everywhere, making infection far more likely.
Swords, axes and saws might be able to dismember a zombie. However, they are very, very likely to get stuck in the zombie and the blood will splash everywhere. The worst weapon against a zombie possible.
The only thing that might work are blunt weapons. The zombie won't feel the pain, but the impact will at the very least stagger them. However, they are very tiring. It might work against a single zombie, but against the horde you don't stand a chance.
So what does work against zombies? Not fighting them. Fighting them is the second best way of getting yourself killed during a zombie apocalypse, right after standing underneath giant "Brains Here" signs with loud music playing. There are thousands of creatures that don't feel pain and want your brains more than anything. However, they are slow and stupid. The only way to survive a zombie apocalypse is to avoid them at all costs. Best is to lock yourself in somewhere nearby where they won't find you, second best is to flee away and hope you won't encounter any zombies on the way. Anything else is suicide.
You want a toaster? Create a bonfire, throw an iron mesh in there. Voila, instant toaster.
Shavey: I don't understand why you couldn't just switch out images, but an interesting idea. 6/10
Shos: Lame. Unfortunately whether I interpret your entry as telling me to go to the website Amazon, or to head to the South American region in search of a toaster, I can't afford either. 3/10
Quirvy: Denial is always a viable solution! 5/10
Soccerboy: Did the abomination "get acquainted" with a toaster one night? The allspark idea is great, but the result is hideous, so you lose some points. 7/10
Jellsprout: I feel like the only thing I'd end up toasting are my eyebrows, which I highly value to raise at people. It wouldn't be the same raising scorch marks. 4/10
Ultimately I realize the best idea is to use time travel to go back a week or so in time and drop subliminal messages to myself (avoiding face-to-face contact, of course) and convince me to hold onto my old hardrive for a week longer so I can turn the disk drive into a toaster when mine dies. Soccerboy wins, though.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.

Inclines Reborn if you haven't played it; I've always thought that was one of my most underrated caves, perhaps because no one ever bothered to rate it. I think most people weren't able to get very, but since I apparently was able to get 3/5 of the treasure in one go, I wouldn't expect it to be very hard.
Soccerboy! if you judge this round by actually playing these caves or something, can you link us to the level's link or something for all the levels? thanks
Don't expect these things to be regularly updated because they won't. In fact, I may never update these standings again; I was just curious to see what they looked like.
I'm surprised that sniper has won as many times as he has, considering how long after this topic started it was when he joined/posted here. I'm also surprised that jellsprout is our leader; I thought the top 2 were yaya and shos
