Thread: Acronym game (done)

  1. #1

    Default Acronym game (done)

    Rules

    1) The object is to score points by creating the most clever acronym you can from the letters given.

    2) Each round I will post a set of random (or, maybe not so random) letters.

    3) Each player then PM's me with an acronym that uses the given letters. Only one word per letter. No running words together. No word chopping (like turning "except" into " 'cept")

    4) Once all player's have submitted, or too much time has passed (usually about 72 hours), I will post each players' acro anonymously in a random order. All submissions will be posted in the same context as they were recieved (if you submit a misspelled word, I post a misspelled word.)

    5) Then each player votes for the one they think is best. Players may not vote for their own acro.


    The scoring will go as follows:

    1) Each player gets 1 pt. for each vote their acro recieves.

    2) The winning acro (the acro with the most votes) recieves a number of bonus pts. equal to the number of letters used. In case of a tie, the winner will be the player that submitted earliest.

    3) Anyone who fails to submit a vote, scores no points.

    The game ends when one player reaches 30 points. At which point the player with the most points wins! If there is a tie, we continue until there is a single winner!

    I'll have to limit signups to 10 players for my own sanity.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Maybe it's the fond thoughts of Belgian beer that you inspire.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I'm very sorry. I hereby withdraw from this game. It takes a lot more thinking then I thought at first.. and I need some more free time. :)

    sorry - hope you find a new player.

    Can I ask why only those in the game can vote? All thats going to happen is no two people will vote for the same person, therefore, no one will win.
