Dear Colleagues, Collaborators, Friends, Acquaintances, Auld Enemies, Scum Sucking Turd Gobblers, and Arden,

Seeing as it is deeply evil to derail the UD thread, or indeed any thread, from its Intended Purpose* I feel we need a little space of our own. Continuing from the derail on the UD3 thread, where we had a move of East Putney, I invite interested parties to make their moves.

Elevators are wild, diagonals are permitted, Stovold, as ever, reigns supreme.

Louis

* Which is, of course, designed. I searched for "Mornington Crescent" and "MC" and all variables within thread titles and found nothing.  Despite the fact that I have a vague memory of an original thread for this stuff. Maybe my search-fu is weak.

Middle-aged men entertain themselves by making cryptic reference to arcane and abstruse rules that may or may not exist in a discussion of a subject matter of no apparent relevance to humans of the normal 46-chromosome type.

This absorbs the participants' interests and energies to a remarkable degree. It inexplicably provides amusement to them, derived, it would seem, as much by the exclusion of non-initiates as by any intrinsic wit or worth their exchanges may have.

My God, we've all become LAWYERS!!!!

Ya ya, I'm game!  I'll start out with the standard opening. . . . . Entry at the airport.  Then, I bid 4.  Noting that automatically gains me a 0.538 Fizbin, I'll let that roll over while I take the perfunctory pull on the linchnizzle.  Exit at Kings Crossing for an easy double.


Your move(s)!

Despite what Arden says I've never done pro-boner work.

Anyway, this is off topic for a thread that is intended to avoid off topicism elsewhere. This is a good thing and possibly recursive. However, since that J-Dog fellow seems keen for play to drift across the Atlantic and BillB is using Fictional Stations (not necessarily a bad thing, but we can discuss the legality of it later) I am forced to bring play back into the Approved Regions by crossing  diagonal and stacking my stations with a Plumbery Shift.

Oh, I guess you're right. I've always had trouble following the flux up the Parslow gradient when helices are underdetermined.

The whole point of play is the paraboloid observations and disagreements about the rules. Frankly most of these posts are far too short and lacking in detailed appreciation of the subtleties of the game.

As a case in point, your questioning of PTaylor and Afarensis is quite correct. Wilson's gambit? Poppycock and foolishness! Afarensis is clearly trying to take Northern Approach whilst avoiding being in Spoon. He ignored my comments on Stovold earlier in the thread, and has failed to note also that elevators are wild.

Since it is after Labour Day (note spelling)* and before the term of the fiftieth president for you personages of an American persuasion, you are well within your rights to advocate a slight deviation from traditional Stovold. Modified Stovoldian Dynamics is a perfectly acceptable deviation, unless of course one prefers SuperStovold or one of the myriad S-Theories.

Given all of that, and that is is a Thursday in March I can play my Hare token and move laterally into the Doggers. Thus, from your move of Waterloo I shall play:

Upminster!

Which, unless someone knows how to control the Masonic Stations, should give me Mornington Crescent in three.

I beg to differ, Kew Gardens was recommended in in Havershawn's 1974 Co-Addenda for the Years 1970-1971 (Excluding June 1971). Elevators are wild? feh. That's crazy talk.

At any rate, Moor Park.

As an aside to the current Mornington Crescent outbreak,  RichardtHughes tells me that Afarensis actually prefers the southern approach and likes to spoon afterward.

Havershawn? Oh dear dear dear deary me. Havershawn was shown to be limited in the world championships of 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall, just prior to the release of the Stazi archives. Of course the archives' release got it reinstated until 1993 when the Bloomsbury Contingent was discovered independently by Brooke-Taylor and Fotheringay as being both communist and homosexual.

Anyway, since you have chosen Moor Park whilst elevators are still wild, you have fallen into my trap, thus:

Victoria!

This of course should lead to Mornington Crescent in 12. Some would say that was not an improvment. They would be wrong.

I know I'm late to this and I know that Louis said that you're using Stovold, but Stovold is often supplemented by Armitage these days - which of course means no Nid.

So, is this game Stovold (pure) or as amended by Armitage?

Oh well, I suppose it doesn't matter, I just HATE ending up in Nid.

If I'm not too late to play:

Covent Garden.

Armitage? Part of the Turnwise Schism I see. If you hate Knid so much why have you deliberately played to enter it?

I think you'll find that you need to spend a turn in Knid, you can ask for a Chairman's Ruling, but since Humph is dead, it might take a while or some arcane practises. Appealing to Guest Chairpersons is acceptable.

Rulings have to be signed, in triplicate, returned before they were sent, and laminated in badger sputum before they are considered for acceptance.

Remaining players can move in the interim.

I hate it when it a game descends into frantic diagonals like this. Remember the '74 Quarter Finals when Lobanov-Rostovskii played through Embankment six times, insisting that it only had escalators for the District line? Gladsby had to threaten a puce card before he'd shut up.

Anyway, I'm fed up with this. Balham. And I'm passing the niblet stick.

(This was all pre-empted by Amadan's terse and pithy observations and masterful move. $#!+.)

I thought the Labour Day rule was amended by Cotter's Janus Perspective (adapted from his novel of the same name): within six months of last Labour Day, it's after Labour Day; within six months of next Labour Day, it's before Labour Day.

But you're right, of course, Louis, S-Manifold manipulation is perfectly valid between Vernal Equinox and Easter Sunday, barring annular lunar eclipses (a full eclipse will of course reset the entire matrix).*

So, still Victoria, then, is it?

I've still got the ticket stub from the ViaRail ride down to our lovely namesake town.  That gets me a transfer at Canning Station, by the Greater Commonwealth Reciprocity Treaty (1947) [Section 3, paragraph 6, subheadings i and ii].

Canada Water.  

A bit obvious, perhaps, but I'm a fan of the classics. It worked for McDonald in '83.

*btw we've passed First Quarter and Pleine Lune is the 30th, so if you expect to win in 12, Louis, I suggest a few late-night runs or a chat with the Dispatcher.

p.s. if huwp's Covent Garden play is valid then I opt for DeVito's Short Walk to Blackfriars entrance. I know the station's closed until next year but it's the closest I can get to Mansion House, which I believe has already been played, has it not? (Last I heard Cannon Street is closed after 2100 and on Sundays)


ARGH! Just as I was working it out:

Balham?!? Damn. After all that. I snost, I lost. Sigh.

ETA: Oh hell I was looking at Royal Victoria.  No wonder. Sorry to slow the game down, ladies, I've still only got my green belt.

Amadan and fnxtr,

Now THAT is how the game should be played! Well done Amadan on anticipating my intended shift to the vernacular. Sadly, I have to take the niblet stick and move into Jar. It's my own silly fault after all.

I shall remain in Jar until someone else has moved into Spoon.

Although fnxtr, you did come close with Canada Water, I have to say the Masonic Stations have been successfully Shriven by your move, and thus the game moves into the Open Orifice Phase. Good luck players!

That's all fine and dandy, but I wonder if you all have REALLY thought this out completely.  And, for that, you've given my quite the advantage.

Cabbage patch by bookend?  Risky, but could pay off well.

Huntzinger with antipasta?  I relish the thought, but it seems a bit, umm, whitebread to me.

Nostalgia for the Davetard 5?  That could work.

I don't know, my options at this point are wide open.  I can't decide. . . . . . .

Oh, wait - I have it!!!    Shatner on the old gray mare!!  (I know, I know, Carlson will hate me for that one but I do wish to be competitive.)

After that, it's pretty easy - end at Monument Valley Tower, shirtless for HMTQ.

Okay I'm officially lost.  I thought the previous Elephant and Castle play broke the Northern to District/Circle transfer, and jeffox could only reach Monument via Tottenham?

Oh, right, Open Orifice.

Well played, sir!

So???

I don't see your point. Even though it puts him auf der Uhr, he can just take the 137 from Balham to Pim--... oh, shhh... Hospital Proximity!  The Lord Cumberland Incident really buggered things up, didn't it.  Too bad, Chelsea Bridge is usually a good way to filter the upper harmonics.

This should be interesting.

Monument?  From Balham?!?!?.

Okay I'm officially lost.  I thought the previous Elephant and Castle play broke the Northern to District/Circle transfer, and jeffox could only reach Monument via Tottenham?

Oh, right, Open Orifice.

Well played, sir!

ahem

So???

I don't see your point. Even though it puts him auf der Uhr, he can just take the 137 from Balham to Pim--... oh, shhh... Hospital Proximity!  The Lord Cumberland Incident really buggered things up, didn't it.  Too bad, Chelsea Bridge is usually a good way to filter the upper harmonics.

This should be interesting.

Well, since the diagonal parks have been opened, and reversals have advanced by more than a radian (according to the 1948 London Reconstruction addendum, which I trust we are operating under), this opens up the possibility of negative line velocity. Which means that the earlier play has to be transfigured:

Oh well, if Louis' opened up the Masonic pathway then it seems a shame not to use it.

I know it may be seen as radical in the everso stuffy corridors of bah-humbuggery inhabited by Louis, Tom and fnxtr where only Stovold will do (which is roughly equivalent to the King James Version only movement) but the advent of the DLR has added an extra dimension to this game.

So thanks to the Masonic reference of the double pillars of the old Naval College (now University) of Greenwich, I get to leave Knid and outflank the lot of you.

Cutty Sark.

Woo-hoo!

I admire your innovative thinking, but you seem to have forgotten about the five blue tokens pegged at the Euston entrance. Since the public convenience there has been out of order for at least a week (didn't know that, did you?), I get to contra-lateral via Oxford Circus (moving widdershins, of course), which brings me to:

Mornington Crescent!

Nice game, all.

I assume you have shown the moderator your Supercharge Smartcard with at least three yellow stars collected? Otherwise the move from Cutty Sark only takes you as far as Holborn.

Still, if that's game, well done everyone. Fancy another?

Nice game, all.

It's this sort of utter disregard for the conventions of Mornington Crescent what causes unrest.

Firstly, trying to move widdershins from Oxford Circus (having left Cutty Sark, which was an inspired move from HuwP, getting himself out of Knid, putting the rest of us in Spoon and changing the laterals to Islets of Langerhans) is a Forbidden Contract under the Great Treaty of 1612 in which, might I remind you we beat the French (always important).

Secondly, the public convenience at Euston has been augmented by the permission of the McDonalds Corporation franchise located nearby in permitting McShits, and even a McShit with Lies*, at all hours. This admirably covers the shitehouse shortfall.

Thirdly, and perhaps most significantly, you have tried to make two moves. You intend to go to Mornignton Crescent via Oxford Circus. That is a move involving two stations. If we could, will-he nill-he, merrily stroll via two stations any time we pleased then anyone one could win the game at any time. It would be like there were no rules at all. This, sir, is an-fucking-outrage!

Fouthly, and above all finally, elevators are wild. If you people cannot incorporate the simplest aspects of the game then I despair, I really do. Perhaps you might find this instructional video of some value.

Since, by sheer dint of luck overcoming judgement (and luckily judgement just loves to be come over), fnxtr has made a legal move to Kensal Rise. We can only thank him for this as otherwise play would have had to be abndoned and a Disquisition would have had to be organised.

Thus I can only move to London Bridge in the hope of restoring some sanity.

FrankH has clearly missed the point and is raving uncontrollably. Shame. It happens to the elderly.

Louis

*Engaging in a McShit is the practise of, after an extensive night on the beers, creeping half cut into an early (~6am) McDonalds and taking what can only be described as an epic shite in their freshly cleaned toilets. A McShit with Lies is where, on entering the premises and being caught by an employee, one has to indicate that one will be returning from the shitehouse to purchase breakfast, even though one has no real intention of doing so.

You're throwing 1612 in our faces after opening up the Masonic Routing Schemata?

If you're going to declare your allegiance to CAMREC, then go ahead and do so openly, but don't hide under that old triple tree of 1612. You of all people ought to know where that leads.

Your compatriot the late great Mrs. Trellis would be ashamed for you.

And, just as a reminder, rotation widdershins about a circus does not actually involve the station in question, even if the play is made "via" that station. If I had been forced to traverse spinward, you'd have had a valid objection, but that route was blocked due to YOUR EARLIER OPENING OF THE MASONIC SCHEMATA. I hope you can see that this would be true even if the year 1612 had never occurred.

Finally, the less said about your "McShit with Lies" the better. (We're not playing the Fleet Ditch addendum, remember?)

Further, the idea that one can't make a two station move means that there is no cheese left in the entirety of the game.  With no cheese, there is no one to cut the cheese and the whole premise falls flat into disuse.

Again with elevators! Look, the last time I was on an elevator it broke down. Spent six hours trapped with a mime...a mime that thought it was very funny to that trapped in an invisible box crap while trapped in an elevator. "Scream for help" I said as I stabbed his invisible heart with an invisible stake...I still have nightmares about it.

At any rate, assuming the game is not over, and bearing in mind that elevators are wild (glares at Louis) I think it is appropriate to use the Mcslapmywhut contingency which, of course, uses fractals to alternately randomize linear consecutivities which plings the ingams and say

Ealing Broadway

On the other hand, if the game is over then I will follow the strategy advocated in Thorvald, Ant, Ritenhaus, and Duh's influential and popular Obscene Annotations and Rude Comments on the "Mornington Crescent for Dummies" series and play

Not so fast. . . . that might work here in the states; but, last I looked, this was INTERNATIONAL MC - you've forgotten about the N'orbelquism addendum.  Makes a difference, eh!

Still, good move on your part - great game so far E1!

I'll take Foghat to Bishey Aukland.  This will help my cubed distortion factor and also give myself a few extra tiddlestones.  Oh, and I'll drop the wickey sticket at this point.

While we all seem to be approaching endgame, it's still anybody's game at this point.

Oh, yeah, and I exit at Louis' favorite pub in Spitalfields (made quite famous in the 1887 tourney, so I've history on my side here).  The church here seems quite burnable, but I may be for whom the bell tolls.

Tally Ho!

So, by my records, the score is Oogy to 8.5926549 and a half.

Ames appeared to be leading, but he was bumped into the vortex zone and forced to sing the "I'm very sorry song" backwards.

Louis, of course, came out to a rousing start, faltered on the 59th blue wicket, and was tagged out on second base by getting hit with a golf ball fired from a 00 gauge shotgun... that's gonna leave a mark.

FrankH had to hop backwards on one foot until someone reminded him he did that last time.  Then he bought boardwalk and proceeded to try and place every anatomical part on the red circles.

Oh, and I know who Cutty Sark is... so don't try to trick me.

Oh, Louis just tried to re-create the Moon Over Morden Incident. That's all. The Victorian Liners failed then, and he failed now. Nothing to see here.

But on the (reasonable) assumption that I won the last game with my pedestrian but effective widdershins contra-lateral via (not through, Louis) Oxford Circus to MC, I'll continue the game in progress. I'm noting the potential for a Hills-and-Valleys cascade (not a Hills-and-Valley Helix, Louis) deriving from fnxtr's Kensal Rise play (nice one, that). Given the decline in line velocity on the blue segment (and my shortage of yellow tokens) I have no choice but to play:


Tower Hill.

So you're still going to have coffee, right?

In any case the scaring of the readers as per the Concord of Grapes in 1798 has been achieved earning me a "Get out of jail free" card.

I place my "Get out of jail free" card over the large red dots which allows me to cross the border into never-never land and reclaim my tokens.

Ames will still need to sing the "I'm very sorry song" backwards followed by singing the 1812 Overture with a kazoo.

Well, since no-one's taken up my Hills-and-Valleys Cascade, my token density rises. Although I'd like to go to the Northern Line, the delays there due to construction force me into a rather dull move:

Widdershins and a Full 90, meaning a Demarcation Box has to be implemented within the next 3 moves or the game is in Gridlock, and the Matrix is once again re-aligned to True North. (By my count we're at bearing about 237 now, yeah?)

Not taking the bait.

Nice.

One more turn in the SW and Demarc is go, avoiding the matrix reset.  

With Louis in ullage, it remains to be seen whether Amadan has the stomach for brinksmanship this morning. Directly proportional to quantity of caffeine ingested, is my speculation.

What's it going to be, Amadan? Lambeth North? Sloane Square? Or are you going to bust the game wide open?

We're all a-quiver.

On the 73 or the 476?

N.B.:

OXFORD STREET, ROUTES 73 AND N73: From 0800 Saturday 16 January until December 2010, buses are diverted eastbound between Oxford Circus and Euston Square Station due to works to upgrade Tottenham Court Road Tube station and enabling works for Crossrail. Buses will not serve Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street stations in this direction. Reported: 24/03/10 12:27 Last Updated: 24/03/10 12:31

So you'd have to pick it up at Kings Cross St. Pancras or Angel.

eta: Either way, we're out of SW without Demarc, thus into Gridlock, matrix is reset (True North), Louis' ullage is revoked (but not expunged).

Still anybody's game.

Well. Can't argue with that reasoning now, can we.

However, I'm still sensing a Southwest fetish here, even after Amadan's iconoclastic Ball's Pond Road move.

Seems to me there was a similar Convergence Event in the '57 Worlds.  By the time the refs could call a timeout  the players were huddled together in a gravitational mass rivalling anything the LHC could generate these days.  Only the slow fission of the South Pacific teams prevented all of Chelsea becoming a smoldering cauldron.

I therefore opt to punt:

Snaresbrook.

Using the McShite that was so graciously opened by Louis, I saunter my way and climb up the tree lined path to Bark.

However, thanks to the fact that as per the Addendum of the Second Rugby Council of 1899, from before, having opened the door I go through the parallel world, I park and move orthogonally to Monument where I climb up the ever expanding piles of scat to Tower Hill.

A Quadruple move that earns me 5 Cylons and 123.245 and T Cubits.

You heard me, Tower Hill

As fxntr did the Snaresbrook maneuver, reminiscent of the Bilge/Blythe "Over the hedge" fiasco of 1969, and my fascination with the movement of a little puck over ice, the Nexus Void and lube shop is still in effect.

You must move through yourself and find the other side for the next 1.23t time units.

However, Nexus Void stands.

I concur, but some of us have already taken that into consideration.  Still, implosion is a terrible thing to witness.  Could be the pace-setter for the remainder of the dunstanfetter.  I'll be the first to demand a shrubbery.

I'll oblique, just in case.  

In the meantime, I've weaved a Plotsdingwether egg from my ticket stub; and, since escalators are still wild, I'll claim my baggage tags for another 0.328 fizbin.  While I realize that this resembles the Ortnsnortnzablotnik maneuver, I believe that there's enough variance in the field of play to allow another slapdown.  Too bad ol' TARDavison isn't hear to see that (not that I miss him).  He'd probably bandwagoneer, anyway.

Oh, and I'll commission the naggly bastard.

That's hard to believe, given all the recent scholarship on the subject. I think that during the course of my graduate career the Department of Morningtonia Studies had maybe three dissertations and a couple of dozen undergrad honors theses that touched on this issue.

I blame the popular press. Time Magazine's coverage of the last few International Exhibitions has confused rather than enlightened the non-playing public. This may mean trouble for the next generation of MC stars. How will they be able to nail down the big endorsement dollars if the amateur game is so misunderstood?

(And we may have to kiss goodbye any chance of being an exhibition sport at either the 2016 Summer OR 2018 Winter games.)

Just to bring you up to speed: Grandchampion Algernon Simon has not been a significant part of the game for more than a decade. What Simon says has very little relevance to any of the post-millennial rulesets.

Last Legal Move: Snaresbrook.

Some of you Americans seem to think that Mornington Crescent is somehow like Calvinball, an entirely ruleless and fictional game. Might I remind you that this, like the Wikipedia article, is a distinct falsehood.

The School Cormorant was Rules were handed down to us by the Town of Chipping Sodbury in the 1800s darkest recesses of antiquity. The game has a noble tradition through all civilised nations. Now don't piss me off or I'll insist we play by the rules which operated under Charlemagne, you see if I don't.

Anyway, enough tough love. I shall restart play from Snaresbrook with a move to:

Aldwych!

Louis

Lurkers take note: that's how the game is played. Must be something in that north Wales water...

Realizing I'm probably doomed to lose all my altitude (and possibly my red tokens) I'll risk:

Finchley Road.

(If I can avoid the ol' Spoon, I'll be overjoyed.)

What's the cutoff on ghost stations? '31? '84?

Neither, I hope. I was planning on making a City Road play later on. I'd hate to have to change that to British Museum.

Can we have a ruling from the current Dealtercator? (I've lost track of who that is--hopefully it's not Louis again. :rolleyes: )

Poor Algie. A truly sensitive soul, much misunderstood. And that dreadful business in court... Years afterwards, Monsignor Jaakontytär told me that it all could have been hushed up if the herdsman hadn't paid tax on the compensation.

Algie's cousin Gershorn Simon was another sort altogether. I could have forgiven him for making that cheese commercial - we all have to make a living - but in the very same dress?  Simply crass.

But I digress. Northwick Park, unless I'm very much mistaken.

Bejebus!

I'm not referring to the Old GMC Algie Simon, but to Simple Simon.  After being a pie man, he has rose to new prominence making rule clarifications as he sits in his wheel chair, watching old "Swedish Erotica" videos to DvD and perfecting his intricate hand movements.

As the work Simple Simon squirts out is so seminal he is still regarded as the no 1 in the land of sticky floors.  Even Arden, it is said, waits for every drop of Simon's contributions to the game!

With that, I think my next move is to Edgware Road

I was afraid that someone might have mistaken my commentary for a play. But I trust that you all will give me credit for recognizing that a cross-channel play this early in the quadrat would fling me knidward almost immediately.

I'm not that much of an idiot!

As I sit here on a bench outside the Waitrose at King's Cross munching on a chip buttie and a bag of Prawn Cocktail Snips, two things occur to me.

First, Amadan may in fact catch the 1835 to Bayswater at the rate he's chugging down Platform 4 unhampered, it appears, by his polyester pants generating enough static electricity to light Wormwood Scrugs for a year, alas, the Bayswater train leaves from Platform 3.  Ah, he's off ... to Birmingham.

And, second, where have all the chew toys gone?  Not a creationist, er, Seeker of Truth, to be seen in these parts.  I suppose I'll have to have a choc-ice and a pint alone.  Again.

Have we invoked any of the Great Old Ones to devour our opponents? Have tracks been torn up and subway cars been devoured by hideous unnamed evil? Is London still standing (or at least parts thereof)? Then I'd say we Americans have been a little too polite. It's not a proper game of Mornington Crescent unless Shub-Niggurath (bare minimum) has put in an appearance says I.

Last Legal Move: Snaresbrook.

Some of you Americans seem to think that Mornington Crescent is somehow like Calvinball, an entirely ruleless and fictional game. Might I remind you that this, like the Wikipedia article, is a distinct falsehood.

The School Cormorant was Rules were handed down to us by the Town of Chipping Sodbury in the 1800s darkest recesses of antiquity. The game has a noble tradition through all civilised nations. Now don't piss me off or I'll insist we play by the rules which operated under Charlemagne, you see if I don't.

Anyway, enough tough love. I shall restart play from Snaresbrook with a move to:

Aldwych!

Louis

Have we invoked any of the Great Old Ones to devour our opponents? Have tracks been torn up and subway cars been devoured by hideous unnamed evil? Is London still standing (or at least parts thereof)? Then I'd say we Americans have been a little too polite. It's not a proper game of Mornington Crescent unless Shub-Niggurath (bare minimum) has put in an appearance says I.

At any rate:

Pudding Mill Lane

Well I suppose you could always team up with the French and try to "introduce us to democracy" or "instigate regime change".

Actually, that's not a bad idea...

We do have a secret, undercover, disguised agent working on a plan to do just that.

While I may not be the most adept at gamesmanship, I do seem to be picking this up pretty well.  For an American fox, anyway.  Besides, while you all were admiring the last few moves, I snuck across the Excelsior line at least 3 times.  :)  Plus, I'm currently writing the software to put MC on the Gameboy.  And they told me it couldn't be done!!!

Which brings me to Birmingham, where I'll visit Sailor Sam (again).  No eggs, though.

Highcastle and the buildings adjacent (I tend to plan big).

The correct term is Neo-Stovoldists. And there is nothing Neo about them.

Might I remind you that it was in the year 239 BH (Before Humph) that Neo-Stovoldism arose from the ashes of the Stovoldist picture of the Underground when Wembley Park was discovered and the work of Pescatorian and others united the disciplines of Kew Gardening and Classical Stovoldian Transporting.

The resulting Neo-Stovoldian picture of the Underground has been modfied by new extensions and stations in the subsequent centuries but to deny the central explanatory framework for the Underground that Neo-Stovoldism gives us is an act of purest Paleystreetism, and heavily inflenced by specific anti-Morningtonian religious dogmas. I should remind you also that Paley Street is not even on the Underground system, and thus does in no way form part of the game of Mornington Crescent, despite Michael Parkinson owning a very nice pub there.

P.S. Afarensis: Your application for a repeal of Wild Elevators is denied on the grounds that it was incorrectly formatted and not stapled to a sufficient bribe.

However generous you are with the drinks, it's still one move per turn.

Which one do you want? Green Park (nice for the Ritz), Piccadilly Circus (nice for the rent boys), Charing Cross (nice for trying to get to Kent sometime that year), or Lambeth North (nice for, well pretty much sod all as it goes)?

It isn't just you Doc Bill, many of our newer players are trying to pull as many stops as they can per turn. These multi-stop moves are beginning to disrupt play. Any more of this sort of nonsense and I'll have to start invoking Crebbit's Rule.

"and by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've 'ad,   and everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat.."

... but all stations between begin and end walking points, especially in the rain or sleet on slippery sidewalks (double your tokens if you're wearing smooth-soled Oxfords or similar footwear), are still open for play.

This is known as the Slide Rule.

McCormick's Rule says "breaks wind", not "breaks down"! As a Real Man, I'm sure you violated that part of the rule after twenty paces.

H'mmmm, according to Lord Southwicke's "Crebbit's Rule Explained for Her Majesty's Late Colonials" once Crebbit's rule is invoked, and I quote, "Elevators shall cease to be wild until such time as a quorum of players meets and drinks a keg of Bud Light. Every player in the quorum must drink at least a pint of Bud Light and no player shall skip this task. Once the keg of Bud Light has been consumed by the players elevators may then be considered wild." So go ahead, invoke Crebbit's rule. I dares ya. Your ancestors created an empire that the son never set on, the least you can do is invoke Crebbit's Rule.

The rules for MC-by-mail (traditional) have liberal time limits, but I move that this e-MC match be declared Moribund.

All tokens to be returned to their respective players and the board cleared.  Short-straw restart.

Contingent on Nakashima's release from moderation, of course.

I've consulted Stovold's on this and it's just not allowed, not even under the (later) Mortimer Variations or even the Armitage guidelines.

Dr Torley,

I think Dr Meyer is mistaken in characterizing the “magic pathway” which scientists might discover in the future, which connects simple substances to organic life.

Rather than new laws, by the thousands, the stepping stones on this pathway are merely specific circumstances which must arise consecutively in time and space, which allow the existing and relatively well known laws of nature to operate. We could in theory trace this magic pathway from the Big Bang through the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, surfaces, atmospheres, etc. until we arrived at the spot where, like Chinese fast food Happy Family, lipids, proteins and RNA were being mixed together.

Now this still might be a list of thousands of circumstances. If we multiply through the probabilities, we would find that only a vanishingly small proportion of the space and mass of the universe meet those conditions. And lo, it is true! Most of the universe is empty and dead.

But the main point is that it is much easier to discover circumstances than laws. The universe has rules less complex than Mornington Crescent, no matter what Dr Meyer might say.

Unless he says “Ealing Common!”

Dude, you can't go claiming that "Mudchute" was already played without accepting that "MC" was already played by Amadan. If your previous play of Mudchute is valid, so is Amadan's MC play. (viz. Crown v. Gandersauce, 1943, under Post hoc ergo propter hoc; quid pro quo; res ipsa  loquitur; pax vobiscum).

Or, as Nietszche once said, "Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist von den Aalen voll."*

But that's put me in a fine pickle, hasn't it.  I'm snookered... except... a-HA!

Headstone Lane!

(Wipes brow) Whew! Thought I'd have to go pan-dimensional, which is not only beyond my credit limit, it's also hard on the batteries.

There is only one valid reply to Mudchute (according to the Loomis Twins).

Hmmm... 3-point turns, is it?  Like backing the Cutlass out of the underground lot.  Buddy banged the front fender on a concrete pillar doing that once. Risky move, that.

However, no-one called AA on Louis' play to Holborn, so we can assume successful negotiation of the turns.

Okay, then.  Open Top and flat out to...

I would like to urge to you guys the fact that using an International Airport to go to Mornington Crescent is absurd, albeit totaly moronic.

Which is actually quite fitting, and in total accord with the 1865 decree on absurd and moronic moves (SR:026, alinéa* 54)

Stuck in the National Express because the driver is drunk. Almost in London, though, and still safer than most cab-drivers...

There are no nice airports in France, even international ones.

But if your plane arrives on 28R, the next proper move is

Planeraya

Good luck finding your luggage after playing an interlock. As if the Stevedore's Union would allow such goings on.

It's not too complcated, Quack, as long as you disregard the unsporting (and, in historical terms, highly dubious) neo-Trellisites (yes, you Louis!) The DLR is for chavs and bankers, and is eschewed by gentlemen.

The object, of course, is to arrive at Mornington Crescent before the other players. You may use an Oyster card, but you must pay particular care to the zones for which it is valid and the area (in roods and perches) they cover.

The first thing to bear in mind is that left turns out of Knid must be followed by Northern or Central Line stations ordered by Fruitfield's Rule. Diagonal southings will incur two rounds in Ravenscourt Park unless the last preceding saint's day fell on a Thursday, Friday or (within three weeks of either equinox) the birthday of any person mentioned in the credits of Steven Seagal's Out For a Kill, though this is reduced to one round if the opposite player holds the Niblet Stick (under Magdalene Rules, that is: lapsarians ignore this rule for reasons that are obscure.)

"Round" moves are always preferable to Stonkers or Gobs, because they help avoid Heisenberg's Dillemma, whereby you must either move at a fixed speed or attend Mass.

But above all else, just enjoy the game for its simple pleasures.

But above all else, just enjoy the game for its simple pleasures.

Which reminds me, has the Boris-Bike supplement to Stovold been approved yet or are we still waiting for the white smoke to appear?  Mind you, we have been waiting for that since they replaced the steam engines on the Circle Line.

Which inevitably brings us to the gateway to the south: Balham.

Balham? From Blackhorse Road?

How in Stovold's...

Ah.

I see.

But you haven't said which King's Cross St Pancras to Moorgate line you're suspending for 3.  I mean, anyone (coughLouiscough) could play either Angel or Barbican at the moment, couldn't they? I mean, if they wanted to refresh token counts on the opposite line.

Just sayin's all.

Um, while we're at it, could one of the more veteran players explain line velocity?

I thought I understood it at one point, but researching the classic games I realize I'm kind of at sea.

I'm sorry, but sea areas are not allowed, so no Dogger, Fisher or Bight.  We might at a pinch allow Southend or Margate which would perhaps suffice as they are on the coast.  That would however require Kielmansegge's interpretation which many have questioned, including Rev. Thorpe-Fanshawe in his notable tome "Stovold for Experts".

Stockwell.  (The interpretation as St. Ockwell has been disallowed due to the Pope's visit.)

Of course I meant Tooting Broadway, which in no way should generate a cyan card, so please pull that back, there's a good chap, and be so kind to forget the whole thing.

Tooting Broadway

In the spirit of this gentlemen's game (luckily we're not in the official playoffs!), your cyan card is withdrawn.  Honest mistakes are certainly forgivable. Live and learn.

My play of Beckton is mooted.

Tooting Broadway is a clever and tasty move from (ahem) Stockwell, especially as a Back-Reflection form from Balham.

The classic from here is of course a Slingshot to London Bridge (viz. IMCS Finals 1755, 1790, 1801, et seq.),  BUT I was never a fan of these Tight Southern games, so, time to open it up a little:

Green Park!

Totteridge. How... quaint.

What next, Burnt Oak? ;-)

Interesting play, actually; the Northern Line Saturation strategy is formidable when properly executed (Wilson v. Clark, 1947), but are you willing to risk gridlock (as witness the 1889 quarter-finals) and a stalemate, Louis?  It seems a bit early to engage in such brinksmanship.

Again, just sayin's all.

Oh, c'mon!

Camden Town is only like 10 minutes from Mornington Crescent by walking. I haven't checked the 2004 revised edition of the rule-book, but it seems that according to Gartner and Lewis, Camden Town is not a valid move between January 3rd 1987 and December 24th 3025.

So what's the point in even citing it here?

Goodness me, that last game went on for ages.  I hope you don't mind but I've de-lurked to have a crack at this one - I just had to, given the somewhat insipid openings you've all gone for.

I mean to say, after the bravado and tenacity of the last game I expected something, well, a little more inspired.

Oh well. <deep sigh>.

Hah! You've all fallen into my cunningly laid trap. Mild and meek though it appeared (I even gave you a hint). This will be over soon methinks.

I was all prepared today for the masterstroke, armed with a cameraphone, a printout of the Antievolution logo and a trip to london that took me through Mornington Crescent ...

Then my phone broke, so no winning pictorial move.

Nice block, though, BillB!

"Cunningly Woven Web"... Queen's Park?  An oxymoron surely, even allowing for alliteration.

And then Moorlane.

Are diagonals allowed then?

Such diversions from Stovold's are surely very, very unorthodox.

If you go east a bit, passed the homeopaths, and find the corner where Roger Street, and N. Mews meet, that's where Charles Darwin House is. It's full of biology societies - I visit to go to the British Ecological Society.

This isn't really relevant, but whilst explaining it, I got to
