There just are no good words that begin with Y anymore. We should get some new ones.

[RSA]

Yam starts with Y, and is a good word. so

[Logain]

Hmmm. I voted for a different one than listed above for Round 6...not sure if my name was just switched though.

I was thinking of submitting, king of your rectum for the last one, but I didn't really feel the smilie reference and I just ran out of time to submit it anyway

[The Dark]

Oops
Double oops - didn't check page two before friday.

[RequiemEternam]

Logain, the erratum you pointed out has been fixed. Thankfully, the results have not changed

Here's the list:

Kiss Off Ya Round-heads!

King of Yellow: RSA
by Orbiting (2: ZutAlors!, rlp)

We have a tie. ZutAlors!' acro was received first, and wins this round.

ZutAlors earns 2 votes plus 4 bonus points, for a total of 6 points.
Orbiting earns 2 points for two votes.

Orbiting has reached 30 points. She and ZutAlors! will now go into the face-off round. I will e-mail each of them a list of three acronyms, 3-, 4- and 5- letters long. The theme is "Anything" for all of them. Deadline is Thursday, April 17 at NOON.

After their acros have been received, i will post each of them side by side. Then, anyone and everyone who is still paying attention to this thread can send a vote for one out of each pair of acros listed. No bonus points. Total votes wins.

Good luck!

[UnheardVoice]

Anyway, I'll be gone by Thursday, so I won't be voting.
Congratulations, [winner]!
