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

Dear Sir,
Confidential Business Proposal
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality and easy communication.
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.
Please reply urgently.
Best regards
Howgul Abul Arhu
P.S.
We will use the money to institute a communist government in our nation.
The lad of Lagos take over, plummeting Nigeria into chaos. They go up and down alleys, telling everyone that they are princes, and that the area the rule over is locked up in warfare, and that they need lots of money. If the victim does not fall for it, then they are spammed with other crap. And their leader is communist dictator Lad Oveus Scawm.
First, let's look at a democracy (ex. Being used, America). Americans are stereotypically fat, lazy, and indecisive. Their "power to the people" government is good, but is unfortunately leading to people becoming officials do to lies and empty promises which commonly leads to disputes over rights (E.g. the second amendment) which causes uprisings splitting friendships due to beliefs.
Next we will look at a monarchy like England. While more efficient than american culture, the English monarchy still is not the most efficient for the people, because too much necessity lies in the hens of the royal family. Of the royal family were to ever fall, all if England would, as many things (tax prices, goods cost, etc.) Would be raised, as the monarchs are the balance of power, so to sum up the monarchy government type, if one side falls (the royal family), then the other (the people) are disfunctional, and can't survive.
(Dictatorship problems are self explanatory)
Now, though communism has a bad reputation, if used wisely, it can work well. It puts the people as a recognized legal party (in a way) so people can self govern, allowing laws to be unanimously accepted, rather than decided by a dictator, queen, or group of whiny brats (aka congress). Communism is basically the belief that things are spread among common ownership, so (if done correctly) the economy can maintain steady and healthy growth, benefiting all people as opposed to one, because in most countries, the facts boil down to failure due to one factor, greed. Forb example, in America, only one percent of pharmaceutical earnings goes to the development of preventive treatments, nectar they is more money in treating than preventing. Now, you may not have to agree with my points, but I urge you to consider, hire much better could you be doing than you currently are?

Communist is undefined/not an integer. Also, you don't need that if statement, which also leads me to notice that you're not actually setting Nigeria equal to Communist, you're checking whether or not Nigeria is equal to Communist.
You'd probably have been better off doing one line that lacks context, like:
The first step to a communist revolution is to make the proletarian population suppressed. Suppress the largest part of the population and eventually they will realize that they are the net strongest part and they don't have to take all that abuse. However, for a proletarian part of the population to exist we will also need an elitist portion of the population. That unfortunately doesn't exist in Nigeria.
So first we need to encourage elitists to emigrate to Nigeria. This is most easily done by taking over Nigeria and reinstituting slavery. Take the whitest of white people you can find, export them to Nigeria and let them run chocolate plantations or something worked by black slaved. To keep the UN of their backs, they will need to give the slaves a minimum wage, but that shouldn't be too much of a cost.
With white egocentrism and a strong industry running the country, Nigeria will soon be able to rise up to a strong economic nation. The nation will grow rich, but all this money will go to the white people. The natives will stay below poverty level.
The next step is to make the native population aware. Make them aware of how things could be and how they could rise up against it. You can distribute simple AM radios and broadcast revolutionary speak. Eventually the native population will realize that they do have an option and that things are possible to get better. All they need now is a spark.
That spark is simple. Just broadcast the news of a slave being beaten to death by his white owner or broadcast an upraising somewhere else in the nation (which might or might not actually occur). The other slaves will use this opportunity to revolt. The revolution will now be in full force. And as you know, no communism without a revolution.
It is essential the before and during this time communist propaganda is spread among the native population. A suppressed population will be more susceptible to communist propaganda of equality. If you can manage to make this the most prominent philosophy before the revolution finishes, Nigeria will have no choice but to become communist, even if in name only.
The person being injected may move their arm while being injected, and the person applying the injection pricks their finger, the person who gets pricked won't get a disease/infection.
It is better to grow the habit of sterilizing each and every needle you use than to forgot sterilizing one when it is actually important.
6/10
I am a fan of habit forming, so i find that a perfectly justifiable answer, but is nothing too particularly extraordinary (no offense)

A fine answer, but if the injection is in process, and I specified that it was a lethal toxin in the needle (as i did), then there would be a chance of having a trace of the lethal substance on the needle, so they would be affected by the toxin within the needle
I realize that this was pretty much a bad round idea, and i apologize for that, but the main purpose of the round was to initiate Darvince into finally ending the current round. But for now I suppose, Jellsprout, GO!!!

5/10 Sorry, but that wouldn't work because the "Nigerian princes" don't even live in Nigeria, and live throughout the US and Europe. Also, they wouldn't institute communism because they would want to hoard the cash for themselves, pushing Nigeria's wealth gaps even larger.
