Information on how to play our Acro game which is played in our chatroom (#etlove.nu).

What is Acro?

ACRO is a nice game where people are given a mix of characters and make a sentence out of these. For example: the letters LOL. You can type /msg Isabotta Laughing Out Loud. If you didn't like the acro you submitted, simply type /msg Isabotta delacro and start all over again. At the end of the round, all those who submitted an acro can vote for one by typing /msg Isabotta number. The person who gets the most votes wins the round and gets 3 points. With 30 points you win the game! Start the game with !acro # where # is the points needed to win. If # is omitted, the default is 30. You get 1 hiscore point for each 30 point game you win. At least three people are needed to play.
