lolmacRound 78 will start tomorrow at the usual time, and will be a usurp-a-thon, with a minor change. This brilliant suggestion is from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ylla: there will be "anchor posts" at Hours 12, 24, and 36. If need be, I will make these posts, but now is the time to call dibs on them if you wish!
Hour 12 is 7 am Sat EDT, noon BST, 1 pm CEST
Hour 24 is 7 pm Sat EDT, midnight BST, 1 am Sun CEST
Hour 36 is 7 am Sun EDT, noon BST, 1 pm CEST
Open for bidding now!

Round 78, dates and format

Personally, I've really enjoyed the usurp-a-thons, but I don't know if I'm in a minority or not.
Round 77 has ended!
Sun, Jul. 24th, 2016 08:05 pmlolmacWe may possibly have misplaced more hours this round than any other, but hey, we reached the end! Overflowing kudos to the Improv Usurpation team: xandromedovna, ylla, glinda_penguin, a_phoenixdragon, lothithil, and especially the Marathon Usurper, a_q! (As well as myself, lolmac.)
Tell us all about your successes!
Keep an eye on the comm for the next poll, and we'll see each other next month!

Round 77 Goes Wild!
Fri, Jul. 22nd, 2016 01:00 pmlolmacRound 77 will start in 7 hours!
As with the last round, I'll start it off, and then it's a free-for-all. If anyone wants to usurp mod who has not done so before, ping me and I will make sure that you're able to post.
lolmacResponses were light to the last poll -- possibly too many melted brains from summer heat -- but there was some interest in having Round 77 this coming weekend, the 23rd and 24th.
Who is up to the challenge? Maybe we can get the ninja penguins to fetch a LOT of ice . . .

Round 77 dates
Mon, Jun. 27th, 2016 10:39 amylla.livejournal.comThis should be a specially lucky round - it's even in the 7th month of the year. It's just a shame the 7th isn't one of the dates!

the Spirit of Round 76
Thu, Jun. 23rd, 2016 02:55 pmlolmacSo, we're having a round this weekend, or maybe a roundlet. We're probably going to be short of mods, not to mention sleep and brain cells.
So, I am declaring this a Usurpathon!
For this round only, I have changed the settings on the comm so that any member can post, without the post being moderated. Yup, it's open season this weekend. I'll make the first post, to get it started.
Please follow the following guidelines:
- One post per hour.
- If more than one person posts in a given hour, the first post wins.
- - - the "first post" is defined by whichever one shows up as the first post to hit the comm.
- If you lose a posting race, you must delete your redundant post. You are encouraged to congratulate the winnerand then plot their downfall.
- If you win a posting race, please keep your gloating to a reasonable level.
- You may not rig a usurpation by using a pre-scheduled post, because that would be the wrong kind of evil.
- - - You may set up pre-scheduled posts for period when it doesn't look like there will be anyone else posting.
- Try to keep track of which hour it is when you title your posts. Excess timey-wimeyness will not be credited to your account. If you leave cracks in the universe, please spackle and re-paint before you go.
- Have fun, and let's all write and create and stuff!

lolmacThe last poll didn't have as many responses as usual, but what the heck, let's go ahead and have Round 76 this weekend.
Who's available? If we end up short of mods, we can always just leave the hours open, or have a usurpation free-for-all.
