Acronym Game

Postby Urkki » Mon Feb 04, 2008 9:45 pm

What is it?

I'll give you an acronym like EREETY and you'll create a motto/funny sentence/philosophical thought/etc from it. Like Every rogue eagerly evades taming yetis.

Another example: TOAKFS Truely, only anemic knights fight serenely



Rules:
1 ) Only one entry per character per acronym.
2 ) All entries and entrants names (remember to add charid) must be posted on this thread
3 ) Deadline 15th of February, when I'll post it's over
4 ) You can change entries before the deadline, if you think you got better one
5 ) No added letters/words
6 ) Each word must start with the letter, no apostrophes or nonstandard English allowed
7 ) Punctuation, use it as you want; If you want to sound like Shatner, it, is, up to, you.
8 ) Rules may be added or changed if judges think it's necessary. If some entries won't qualify because of adding/changing rules, entrants will be informed.
9 ) Have fun

Acronyms:

1 ) AARGHT

2 ) TTWIDJK

3 ) YIOEDFS

4 ) EAIDKG

5 ) TOLASKG

6 ) OFKAKLAITE

7 ) KFOEOLA

8 ) KALVEA

Prizes:

250 p for every acronym's best interpretation

Overall effort:
1st a WP
2nd 300p
3rd 200p


Let the games begin! If you have questions, post here and you'll get answers. Have fun. :)

As it says to the left......I talk WAY too much. ;)
And yes, I am fully aware that currently it says so to the right, rather than the left, which used to be the location for said line, but I am simply too lazy to change it for you.

Aggressive adventuring rogues give Horrors trouble

True terrors will inevitably demoralise judgemental know-it-alls

Young initiates often extend daft formal salutations

Elegant Azure in dashing korunga gear

Teaching often leaves a skilled Knight groaning

Ordinarily fearsome, Knights are known lovingly as intitate training experts

Knights follow orders enthusiastically overtly leaping about

Knowledge and light vanquish evil allcomers.

After all, reticent gargoyles have talons.

Tepid tea will induce diarrhea, just kidding!

Yetis in Oleron eagerly devour frail sages.

Every answer is different, knave Gar.

Terrible ogres laugh and sing, killing gaily.

Obviously fierce knights all kill lecherous and ignominious Trinaldian enemies.

Knowing females of Ethucan only love academia.

Kind and loving Valornians endorse acknowledgments.

First of all, I had (and I think the other judges had too) fun being judgemental here and I want to thank each and everyone who entered this contest. Excellent work everyone.

2. Jessa (300p)
3. Vardian (200p)


Congratulations to winners and once again thank you everyone.


edit: Almost forgot to mention this...some winners forgot to add their character names and charids. And thus broke the rule 3) the judges thought about this and decided they were notorious enough so we can forget the rule. ;)

Also: Iron Knight Azure Greenhills has agreed to help with passing the prizes, so if you are online and she's too, you might want to pm her about it.

edit: Also...the judges want to award Synvasti 250p for the idea of making a story out of acronyms provided. Very nice idea...we'll probably steal it. ;)
