We play Storytime acro tonight!

let's review...

The idea behind Story acro is to put together a short comprehensive story. The first acro on 3 letters is the title of the story and is Headlined and in quotes. "The Story Title" The winner then types in the next topic using the /st function. The topics are used to advance the plot of the story. One of the interesting and challenging aspects of Story is that the best written acro is not always the best to vote for because it doesn't advance the story as well as another acro. Voters have to keep both in mind and decide on the best acro that also advances the story. The Face Off becomes an opportunity to end the story or comment on Morals or Lessons learned.

Here is a story match from my game log... the names have been omitted to protect the guilty

"Resorting To Murder"'

Topic is set to why was Ivan our character resorting to murder?
'A romance suddenly gone.'

The topic is why did Ursula dump our dear Ivan?.
'He hated Celine Dion songs.'

Topic is set to When did Ursula discover he hated Celine Dion?
'Christmas he started bashing Celine's Grammys.'

Topic is set to how was he going to do away with her?
'Planning a nasty thing, driving BMW wildly.'

Topic is set to How was he going to kill her with his BMW?
'Striking her repeatedly.'

FO
BMW's murder unacceptable.
Broad's mighty ugly!

Horribly, the romance ended.

Ivan's bitter, tragedy strikes again
I believe there's some alimony.
