Definition
An "acro party" or "acro line" is where players come together for the sole purpose of learning new facets and moves, as well as teaching them, for the Test of the Acrobat. It is the best way to advance in the Test, not to mention it's fun!
Structure
- Line - A newcomer to the party starts out here. The line moves when the person in the front sees that the first station has an opening. A perfect place to get petition signatures and introductions.
- Station - Since acroing between two people cannot happen without the presence of others (how many coordinates?), "stations" are integral! A station is formed when a player has gone through all the stations in an acro party and reached the final station. After acroing there, he or she forms their own station a few coordinates away from the previous station, where they wait for the next player. They keep their "post" until they have to leave the party or log out of the game. Most players mark their station with straw or sand.

Having to acro with everyone

Long lines
Long lines (25 or more people) move very slowly and sometimes turn a fun activity into a chore.
