I drudged this up from the #acro archives back when it was running on Undernet...
AcroBot (to the tune of Piano Man by Billy Joel) ----------- It's one o'clock on a Saturday The acroing crowd starts to show It seems that the last round is over now And a new game is ready to go Bot says, "Hurry and send me your acronyms I don't really care if they blow 'Cause I'll put them up there, and the votes we'll compare The worst will win, as we all know" La la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Don't give us 'X', you're the acrobot Don't give us 'Z' or 'Q' 'Cause the letters you pick are a travesty And you've got us all mad at you Now Mach rarely likes to do Undernet He comes down and sits for a spell But send him some pics and some boxes of Twix, And he'll thank you, and op you as well He said, "IRC games are a lot of fun Maintaining them takes up my time I'm sure I could get my dissertation done If I could just get off the dime" Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da da But RobBot's a snide intellectual And ChaosBot's not a bit fun So we're still playing #acro, and resetting our macro He's now acro561 'Cause some idiot just flooded acrobot My 28 points down the drain And I just wrote an asskicking acronym But all of my effort's in vain Mired in lag, you're the acrobot You're likely to signoff again But still, never fear, we know you'll return here Quite promptly as acro410 Well, in all I did well for a Saturday And the acrobot gave me a POKE Though some acros were old, at least nobody told Another OJ trial joke And the acrobot prints out pornography The acros get worse every day But if I had to choose between #acro and booze I'd throw all my bottles away Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Wasting my time on the Undernet I never get sleep anymore But since I first came to this damned #acro game I'm happier than ever before - by Jess and Bartles October 12, 1995

blast from the past?
nice little blast from the past, looks like
shows just how addictive the acro game can be... my presence in the game would at least give an extra option for players whenever @acrobot happens to spew out an 'x', although they might end up making me blush...
as far as I know, #acro is still running on the undernet... might even be a few people having scheduled games there still, once in a while

Hi xorb, nice to see you again!
When you posted there was indeed a small but surly group playing on undernet. But since then the bot has taken a vacation, (no doubt the bot shall play while Mach's away), so the long and short of it is we've migrated here on Friday and Saturday nights. Join us if you can!
