BTC Guild looks like it has a possibilty of shuting down
Hopefully it is just luck and not some hacker submitting fake share.
I was starting to wonder if valid block shares were being withheld by a powerful miner or something.

Could you make such a comment about Slush's pool? Maybe your "inverse luck" will push out a bunch of blocks there! 
Yes nice explanation, I think it will always be near on impossible for us to grasp such big numbers. As if to prove me wrong BTC Guild has pumped out a shed load of blocks this evening, more than it should for the given hashing power.... all to make me look an ass 
There are a number of threads discussing this very topic. I know you don't want to hear it, but variance does indeed play a very significant factor in the statistics, especially as BTCGuild's total hash rate becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of the total network. As of me writing this post, BTCGuild is reporting a speed of 9.4PH/s. GHash.io, on the other hand, is reporting 42.47PH/s. The total network is showing 143.2PH/s.
Here... let me throw some random piece of information at you and you can use that as justification for the bad luck:
This August there will be 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This only happens once every 800+ years.

Is it me or has btc guild been real slow with scoring blocks of late? Please noone say variance, I'm just wondering what else it could be.... maybe uranus is inline with jupiter or something... I just know it don't feel right.
Meanwhile ghash.io are scoring four in a row!! We should rename it the ghash & discuss fish chain.
