Acrophobia (43?)

[Howlin' Howland]

If I can get at least six players I would like to run a game of Acrophobia.  I think this would be game 43, if that's wrong please correct me.

The theme would be magic users. 

For these of you who haven't played these are the rules:  each round I will give the name of a magic user and one or more sets of letters.  You create a an answer as if the set of letters were an acronym.   So, for example, if the letters were IPRAF and the theme was Jojen paste you could enter "Ingredients: pureed Reed, acorns, flower."  After that, the other players vote on entries that are still anonymous and that's how you score points.  At the end of seven rounds the player with the most points wins.

Please send your creation to me in a private message - send me a private message thread entitled "Acrophobia #42: [insert your board name here]" Keep using this PM to send subsequent entries.

Scoring

You vote for your favorite three entries in order of preference.

1st place is worth 3 points

2nd place is worth 2 points

3rd place is worth 1 point

You will receive a point for creating an entry and a point for voting.

The player with the highest number of 1st place votes will gain an extra 3 points, 2 points each if there is tie

You will submit, even if I have to chase you across that vermin-infested hellhole I usually engage you in on Howland's behalf.

That's 3, 3 to go.  If anyone has sent me a message I haven't received it.

[RhaenysBee]

I haven’t sent a message because I’m not yet sure if we get 6 people to have the game. 
@Julia H.@Castellan@Lilac & Gooseberries @Fragile Bird?
Or maybe the Pictionary crew feels like playing a round of autumn acrophobia?

Sending me a FB message is a pretty good way to make sure I don't get distracted and forget.

[Fragile Bird]

I’ll play!

Hello all.  Sorry for the long absence.

I'll play, if you'll have me.

That's five, we need one more.  Gabe, if you want to try talking Ser into playing now's the time.  Once we have six players I'll wait about a week before starting the first round to see if we can get one or two more players.

[Ser Not Appearing]

I'll play. But you should harass Gabe to harass me to remember to keep doing so.

Gabe, you've got your marching orders.

I'll try to get everyone the topic and letters next week.  I hope to run one round a week.

Also, if everyone includes "acrophobia" and their user names in the subject line of their messages with their first round entries I'd appreciate it.

You can join.  We aren't starting the first round until next week.

How long before the deadline would you prefer to be nudged? 2 days(ish)?

Round 1:

Pyat Pree

Acronyms:

ISK

WASVB

MJAJRN

Deadline:

Please try to get your entries in by Monday September 26^th.  If you want an extension please let me know.

For those of you who already haven’t done so, please send me your entry in a personal message with your username (thanks Gabe, Jez, and Ser).

Also, I recognize brutal letters when I see them, if anyone can pull off a great entry for MJAJRN I will be in awe.

Eternally_His, I think this is the first time you’ve played the game so if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

I may or may not have lost my edge. I have exactly zero thoughts.
