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
Because you will create 3 alternate timelines if you do not judge the round.
1. You don't judge it. People ignore Flashmarsh judging it because people think he's too brash. You Have One Post To... will die, only allowing activity to be fueled into the mafia games. Even though it's gonna take a couple years, we will eventually get through all the people that want to host mafia games. Activity will be nonexistant. The Interguild will become a community solely focused on Mafia games, but due to the lack of willing hosts, the entire active membership will merge into Mafiascum, like entire towns in Europe moving to the US in the 1800s. Once there, most members will be lost in the confusion and they will only have two options; leave for good or adopt a Thomas-like personality to survive. Once Livio comes on again (he will get even more inactive), he will see that the entire Interguild has abandoned him, and he has no reason to finish Aeon. He will then try and track down nearby members IRL such as Xyteran, Snipereborn, and Haily. He will convince them all to share an apartment in a sitcom-esque situation, in fact is will be so sitcom-esque, that Livio gets a TV deal to make a Big Bang Theory-ish show. Except it will be more popular than TBBT, because instead of solely focusing on lame nerd jokes, they will solely focus on lame nerd jokes AND lame conservative jokes because of Snipereborn's presence. And it will have twice as many seasons.
2. You don't judge it. People accept Flashmarsh's results, giving him the illusion that raging and lashing out at people is okay. Despite the act of judging the round not being very hostile, it will he will begin to think he is right in most situations. When several members try to confront him at once about his quickly escalating Dbag behavior, he will snap and go on ridiculously profane multi-thread rants on the Interguild, Icecaves, Neopets, the Old Interguild, and Lumscat. Then he goes inactive. A week later, he posts pictures of Yuggy, Shavey, Jebby and every other British member's corpse in Random Chat. Then he'll get onto the larger part of the continent, where you and Isa will be butchered and displayed. Lucky for you that you won't see the rest. It'll be a month or so before he gets to Israel, but Shos will too meet his untimely fate. Going dark for a couple months as he backpacks to Asia, he will suddenly return with proof of visting Evansun, Ckjr, and anyone else I'm forgetting. Whether he swims or becomes a stowaway, he's getting to New Zealand. Harumbai, Silver, and some Kiwis. Gone. By then, most US/Canadian members will have probably caught on to his sick game, and moved to the East Coast to buy some sweet time. Some will not catch on and die, of course. Once the survivors get desperate enough, we'll probably flee to either Europe or Africa. But it'll just fuel his manhunt, leading to several circumnavigations by all remaining collectively, but we will all eventually get killed by Flashmarsh and posted on the Internet. Except for Rob Garret, because Flashmarsh recognizes the dangers of a minor traveling through South America in times like these.
3. You do judge it. Life goes on relatively normal on the Interguild. This topic will still live, but the site's activity will still mainly be driven by mafia games. The other components of the site still live on, though. The site will get progressively more inactive until Aeon is either released or we have our first official Interguild meetup in a house like Darvince designed in the Random Chat. Normally ever after.
You tell me, would you rather see a worse version of the Big Bang Theory and have all the remaining Interguild members act like Thomas, get killed by Flashmarsh-turned-serial-killer along with the rest of the Interguild, or go on with our somewhat nice life on the Interguild? I know I wouldn't be able to communicate with myself in the other timelines, but I'm pretty sure all 3 of me could agree on which one is the most pleasant. I do realize that even if you do judge the round, these other unfortunate timelines will still exist, but #3 is the path most compatible with the flow of the universe, so the alternates will likely cease to exist before all their events occur if we do not actively pursue them.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.
Give me +karma. Give me +karma.
Oh my god that is signature material. No I don't care that you ruined my plans to tell Yuggy to enter, rejudge with him winning and then make him start a new round, which I will get several inactive real life friends to enter. Whatever. This will be in my signature. And also, I'll go to the least active members first because then people will take longer to catch on...
@Buboy: At 4. you say you will water me. I am a Grass type, so I obviously I do resist you, making 6 false. An inconsistent system allows anything to be derived from it. I choose to derive that this doesn't convince me to judge. 3/10
@Shos: I'm used to that. It doesn't bother me too much. 2/10
@Quirvy: When did you stop? 4/10
@Flash: Thank you for judging for me. Now I don't have to anymore. 0/10
Food. for what? for guinea pigs of course. It will create a wonderful tricky math question. you'd think that one needs to eat one GP a day, and so in 10 days there will be only one. But, each one eats a Gp and becomes as big as 2; so after day 1, it'll take two days for each GP to eat his GP. and in day 3, each GP will be worth 4, so it will take even more time to consume the half.
and so, instead of log21000, you shall have 2^0+2^1+...+2^10, which will make one Guinea Pig live for around 2.5 years.
I think that 50-1000 guinea pigs is reasonable for my power plant idea, and shos appears to be have used the 1000 number when making his entry, so I don't quite understand what you're trying to get at here.
Have a bad lawn? Has your grass grown too high? Well there's a solution! We'll bring over 100 cute little guinea pigs who will both cut your grass and leave behind fresh fertilizer! Just call 1-800-555-GLAWN. That's 1-800-555-GLAWN.
I'd stack them. I'd need about 1,261,164,960 guinea pigs, but I feel that by stacking the guinea pigs on top of each other, it will be a more cost effective trip to the moon. Silly nasa

Lol wtf. If this is what comes to your mind when you need to use 50-1000 live guinea pigs for something, I don't wanna know anything else, lol. Made me laugh hysterically, though. 7/10

Sell guinea pigs. Hypnotize people using them.

But thereotically, if you stacked that many in a tower, the bottom portion would eventually get crushed to death . 3/10
You have one post to... come up with the greatest 5-8 sentence story involving an explosive tree frog and a cake. (The tree frog has to explode, but the cake does not have to be eaten.)
There once was a tree frog named Reese.
he ate cake until there was only one piece.
The cake from his friend, tom
Turned out to be a bomb
And reese exploded and died and tree frog guts went everywhere. It sucked for him.

Once there was a tree frog by the name of DeShawn. DeShawn liked cake. One day he ate lots of cake, more than he should have ever eaten. "I should of ate less cake" declared DeShawn. DeShawn exploded.
Jell looked solemnly at DeShawn's remains and declared, "Remember kids, it's 'should have', not 'should of'. Get it right or there will be consequences."
If they sound the same.... how exactly do you tell the difference? "There food was delicious! I ate too pieces of cake," said DeShawn. I feel like I'm gonna go around correcting my friends for that even though there's no way they can prove that they said the correct one.

Captain Slusigfufs looked at Jim, the giant talking tree frog and said, "It's great that you decided to leave your homeworld and come to planet Fishusb with us, we even baked you a Welcome To Fishusb Cake in celebration".
"Well, I'm not into the furry culture, but Eiffel Pyramids and all the trees should be nice to be around", Jim replied.
"Were you not informed? Fishusb has no trees, The Vulcan-Zulu war wiped them out 5 centuries ago", droned the robotic co-pilot.
"Shut up, robotic co-pilot, he wasn't supposed to kn-", was all the Captain could get out before a BOOOOOOOMMMM sound effect and explosion engulfed the Firefly ship.
"Look what you did now, blockhead, he willed himself into exploding out of utter depression; who will bring peace to the livestock factions now?"
"My apologies Captain, shall we eat his celebration cake?"
"No, it doesn't have to be eaten."
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.
