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

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!
