Do you Acro?.........   What is Acro?...........  Why should you Acro?

Do You Acro?
    If the answer is yes, then you can probably understand the top part of the page.  And you probably also understand the annoyance of having to wait for your favorite room.  Or being really peeved at being kicked off the server.  But then you also understand the adrenaline rush of reaching F/O (Face Off for non-Acroers).  Or using a totally obscure word and GATV (getting all the votes). Then you've reached just another Acro site out of many on the net, except this one's specifically devoted to the Alley.  Why?  Because it's my favorite room, of course.  I don't have any reason for this besides the fact that every time I've been hooked on Acro, the Alley has been there.  Some good general sites devoted to the game (let's face it, it's not a game, so much as a way of life) are:
    Acro Addicts Page -- The Site for Acrophobiacs, Acro fanatics, Acroholics, etc.
    Acro All Night -- Much, much cooler than the regular Acro lounge.
(got a Acro site?  E-mail me and I'll put up a link.  All that I ask is that you also provide a link to my site, located at http://geocities.datacellar.net/Hollywood/Cinema/7560)
    If you don't Acro, you're probably wondering what on Earth I'm talking about.  Admittedly, this sounds like some weird association or cult or addiction, but it's just an online game (in the sense that Citizen Kane is just a movie).  Either read on to learn more or GGAN (go get Acro now!) from the Bezerk website! Don't worry, it's a quick download and is very easy to get started (and hooked on).

What Is Acro?
    
    It's an online game that has been available for approximately a year (as of Nov. 17th, 1998) that was developed by Berkeley Systems, who created the game You Don't Know Jack! as well as the  website/online gaming network.  Basically, you receive a bunch (anywhere from 3-7) of random letters, such as MPYLRB and a category, like Celebrities.  And then you try to form an Acronym using these letters, like: Madonna practices Yoga, looks really buff! within 60 seconds.  Then everybody votes on their favorite Acronym, points are received, et cetera.  Underneath the game is a built-in chat box, a feature which is much cooler than it sounds, since the odds of pre-teen girls annoying everyone with questions about the Backstreet Boys are slim.
             But this describing how to play the game really doesn't do it justice.  It's something that you have to play to understand.  It's enjoyable.  It's fun.  It's basically akin to a really witty game of Scrabble on amphetamines crossed with Scattegories on acid that you are playing at a really cool cocktail party except nobody's going to vomit on your $500 Gucci loafers and even if they are annoying, you don't have to listen to a thing they say.  I guess this is the best creative description I could come up with.  If you have another, send it to me at huntergrayson@hotmail.com.

The Acro Challenge
    No Acro site would be complete without a fun game/challenge.  The current Acro challenge is: The Polysyllabic Acro.  Create an Acronym without using any one-syllable words from the following letters: ALLEY (General Acro is the category, of course).  Then e-mail your answer with the subject line: '1st Acro Challenge.' (Be sure to include your Acro Screenname)  The results will be posted and a new challenge will begin whenever I feel like it.  Or whenever 65 people respond, whichever comes first.   Have fun!
