The Acronym Game

UPBRAIDED

Understanding piecemeal breeds rage and ignorance dude. EDUCATION-dig?

I have no understanding of any game changes that have occurred - it was my understanding that the majority expressed the desire that they wanted everything to stay the same-if that's not so and I'm doing something wrong- can somebody tell me what it is? Thanks

I'm particulary confused about this pipping and bouncing thing. The last direct communication I had with anyone about that was that if someone produced a good acronym- it could stay - even if they'd been pipped. My solution- out of respect for the acronymmers- is to try to do both words, but if I don't have time, I do the first word. Is that not okay? What does 'bouncing' mean?

Who's 'we' ? Or am I speaking to royalty or Oprah or someone like that without even knowing it?! (Just kidding)
But seriously, I always try to make it as pleasant as possible for 'the acronym team' (of which I consider myself to be a member- hope I'm not being too presumptious) Laughing

"Bouncing" wasn't part of the proposed new pipping rules, Aidan. It was part of an acro. Also, the majority didn't express anything. Spendi made his proposal. I replied that I liked the proposal, with the possible exception of the booing clause. I asked the members what they all thought, but as far as I can recall, nobody replied...so there was never any kind of consensus. I still like the new rule. It's very frustrating to spend time working an acro and then getting shut out. It is getting a bit confusing, but we can probably overcome that. I think your suggestion about trying to do both words is a good one, and I fully agree with only doing the first one if time is short, as it often is for me and probably others as well. Being bound to do two acros could turn out to be an undeserved punishment.
