Welcome to Acrophobia. I will post a set of letters, and up to 10 players will send me, via e-mail, their witty responses. Then all players will vote for the funniest, also via e-mail, and the winner will get 1 AcroPoint. You get more APs by winning more Acrophobia games. Like this:

I post H P F I T S.

P1 sends me: Hardcore Penguins Fart In Tambourine Stores.

P2 sends me: Happy Pigs Fly In The Sky.

P3 sends me: Hopping Pantyhose Fantasize Ideas To Strangle.

I post:
1. Hardcore Penguins Fart In Tambourine Stores
2. Happy Pigs Fly In The Sky
3. Hopping Pantyhose Hantasize Ideas To Strangle

P1 votes for #3.

P2 votes for #1.

P3 votes for #1.

I reveal who wrote what and who voted for what.

P1 gets an AcroPoint.

If you have any questions, just post them.

Here is the first set of letters:

Y I L C B

Oh, and if you answer with the name of an actual book, tv show, movie, of video game, you get a free AP.

E-mail your answers to:
pgrafing@earthlink.net

Once someone reaches 5 APs, they become host until someone else gets 5 APs.

dont' you post:
Hardcore Penguins Fart In Tambourine Stores
Happy Pigs Fly In The Sky
Hopping Pantyhose Hantasize Ideas To Strangle

as not to tell who sent what?

[CrystyB]

How do you suppose the players are going to find phrases that acronyme to something when they hate acronyms?? 'cause that's what -phobia means... The past games that were along these lines were called acrophilia, if you don't mind me reminding it.

[wordcross]

actually, cb, the original thread (from -o- iirc) was entitled acrophobia, as it is/was on flipside.com. it was later changed to acrophilia for the reasons you gave.

and aren't there supposed to be categories for each round?

If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that a hostage situation?

[PBuG]

I made this how somebody at another message board made it, and I altered it a teeny bit, I guess I should change the name

The reason I'm going to put the name of who sent the acronym is so that everybody knows that a person is cheating when they vote for their own acronym.

*changes thread name*

[Norinel]

Yeah, but votes should be private (Or else it gives some advantage to the last people to vote), and you'll know if someone's cheating by voting for their own one. Doing it anonymously (And randomly ordered) also lessens kingmaker/gang up on the leader issues.

[PBuG]

Okay, I'll add that to the rules. And I won't say who wrote what for their acronym until all votes are in.
