CCP Mindstar	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:16:00 - [1] Originally by: Fink Angel Originally by: ReaperOfSly I tried to start a game in an open thread, but it got locked too soon. So I'm proud to present the official Mornington Crescent thread! We'll start with the standard Hodgkin's rule set, with aces high and multilateral sweeps allowed. Use this for map references. I'll start with Earl's Court. It's a risky move for opening play, but should open up the possibility of a triple roundabout loop later on if I'm lucky. Earl's Court. Hmmm. Let me think ... OK, I reckon a reversed line namesake play will take you to Barons Court. That should score me a double wicket for the "Court" and triple upper for correctly noting no possesive apostrophe in "Barons"! Ah you must be playing from a very outdated ruleset. The reversed line namesake play was outlawed in 1972 as apart of the Stepworth revision. Your play of Baron's court is invalid. I move on Paddington. Booyah. --

Best move from there is Temple.

CCP Mindstar	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:23:00 - [4] Originally by: CCP Mitnal Paddington such a veritable hive of options. St James's Park. Train departed while you were reading the map. You must miss a turn. I move to Leicester Square. --


CCP Kalmukaru	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:24:00 - [5] Originally by: CCP Mindstar Train departed while you were reading the map. You must miss a turn. I move to Leicester Square. I'm rather disappointed that you leave me no choice, I'm going to call the 1624 recursive maneuver , stomp twice on the ground, and move to Royal Court

You must miss a turn. I move to Leicester Square. I'm rather disappointed that you leave me no choice, I'm going to call the 1624 recursive maneuver , stomp twice on the ground, and move to Royal Court Please, that rule was eliminated in the 1983 ruleset, but I'll let it slide this time. I move to Waterloo, pursuant the triple backspin loop. Elephant and castle from there. No other choice really.


CCP Mitnal C C P	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:26:00 - [7] Point of order Humphrey, whilst the train very well left the station, I'd already jumped ship onto another to Pimlico. I call Mindstar's move illegal, asides the fact it was part of the Clapham trio and believe he should be penalised accordingly. If you remember the 1980 Treaty of Minsk specifically stated the punishments available. Mitnal Community Representative CCP Games, EVE Online Email / Netfang

CCP Whisper	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:35:00 - [9] Pshaw. Amateurs the lot of you. I move to Brompton Road.


CCP Mitnal C C P	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:46:00 - [10] Pudding Mill Lane. /me applause. Mitnal Community Representative CCP Games, EVE Online Email / Netfang


CCP Whisper	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:48:00 - [11] Never used the Edinburgh Kiss manoevre this early in a game, but here goes: Earl's Court.


CCP Mindstar	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:52:00 - [12] Originally by: CCP Whisper Never used the Edinburgh Kiss manoevre this early in a game, but here goes: Earl's Court. Earl's court has already been played, I'm sorry. Moving on to Picadilly Circus. --

CCP Mitnal C C P	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:57:00 - [14] Can I confirm what rule set we're playing under. If we're using the Remington abridged version 4, 2005, I'd like to move to Swiss Cottage. Mitnal Community Representative CCP Games, EVE Online Email / Netfang


CCP Mindstar	Posted - 2008.07.07 19:59:00 - [15] Originally by: CCP Mitnal Can I confirm what rule set we're playing under? If we're using the Remington abridged version 4, 2005, my move is to Swiss Cottage. If we're not I'll have to rethink my strategy. Indeed we are, Remington is a standard of fair play these days. I'm glad we are on the same page. Speaking of which, I hope you have your passports handy, I am lining up the international connections at Kings Cross. --


CCP Whisper	Posted - 2008.07.07 20:00:00 - [16] Originally by: CCP Mindstar Speaking of which, I hope you have your passports handy, I am lining up the international connections at Kings Cross. Goodie! I play "Zoologischer Garten".

Goodie! I play "Zoologischer Garten". You fell for my bluff! While you were stuck in passport control, I hopped on the express to Mornington Crescent! --


CCP Mitnal C C P	Posted - 2008.07.07 20:05:00 - [18] Whilst I applaud the daring international bluff I'm afraid the aforementioned Minsk Treaty 1980 outlawed the international endgame hijack. Mornington Crescent cannot be played for at least three moves following an international switch. It's really the triple roundabout theory in reverse.

Minsk is always getting in the way of my fun! I slide on over to Angel. --


CCP Mitnal C C P	Posted - 2008.07.07 20:16:00 - [20] We've already agreed on the Remington abridged version 4, 2005 ruleset, hence the 1970s expansion is included but must be declared before playing. As such your move is void. Mitnal Community Representative CCP Games, EVE Online Email / Netfang


CCP Mindstar	Posted - 2008.07.07 22:42:00 - [21] Originally by: brakespear Originally by: Fink Angel I hope I'm still in with a chance, as I've been planning my next move on my commute home on graph paper. Hopefully not too early in the game, but I'm playing Heisenberg's uncertainty rule. Shepherd's Bush - pick one of Central OR Hammersmith & City line stations. But you won't know which one until you go there, and when you do, it still might be the other one. Get out of that and stay fashionable! Pssshhh, Heisenberg's is inadmissable during British Summer Time as you surely must know.....that said....Goodge Street Ah yes but he does have a point on forward planning there. I take Hammersmith, as a key strategic point. --


CCP Mindstar	Posted - 2008.07.07 22:58:00 - [22] Nicely done, and extra points for avoiding the disaster that is Terminal 5. A key rookie mistake going to that one, I am sure you know! Back along the same line to Acton Town, Not quite a double but it is a nice little fork --


CCP Lingorm C C P	Posted - 2008.07.08 08:47:00 - [23] OK, time for a late start. That being such I will go for the good old slow the game right down. 'Tower Hill' and even under the stated rule set force all players to reverse coarse or face official censor. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader Originally by: Lord Fitz Eve is to WoW as Wow is to an 8 player game of Unreal Tournament.


CCP Mephysto	Posted - 2008.07.08 09:16:00 - [24] Remmington Abridged huh? In that case Oxford Circus. Note that the 1983 Berlin revision is not allowed under the abridged rules, thus making this a valid move.


CCP Lingorm C C P	Posted - 2008.07.08 09:21:00 - [25] Edited by: CCP Lingorm on 08/07/2008 09:20:49 Oxford Cirus? hmmm sneaky. I will move to Moorgate.

CCP Lingorm C C P	Posted - 2008.07.08 11:45:00 - [26] In that case I move to Euston. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader Originally by: Lord Fitz Eve is to WoW as Wow is to an 8 player game of Unreal Tournament.


CCP Mephysto	Posted - 2008.07.08 13:57:00 - [27] Originally by: Suze'Rain Edited by: Suze''Rain on 08/07/2008 13:53:41 Originally by: CCP Mephysto Originally by: Ombey Utilising the 1983 Shuttleworth Edict, I shall hop to Osterley. A swift side trip to Baker Street seems appropriate. That's a blatant use of the 1984 Shuttleworth review, You cad. should be ashamed of yourself Of course it is, however 1992 Darwin Amendment allows it in this case.


CCP Kalmukaru	Posted - 2008.07.08 14:01:00 - [28] Originally by: CCP Mephysto Of course it is, however 1992 Darwin Amendment allows it in this case. Which is good, because the 1992 Darwin Amendment also includes the 1991 International Mirror Points as an absolute. I invoke the third section of the Points and move to L'Enfant Plaza.


CCP Kalmukaru	Posted - 2008.07.08 14:07:00 - [29] Originally by: Suze'Rain Originally by: CCP Mephysto That's a blatant use of the 1984 Shuttleworth review, You cad. should be ashamed of yourself Of course it is, however 1992 Darwin Amendment allows it in this case. You should know better than that. the '92 Darwin Amendment clearly states that the '84 Shuttleworth is only enforced when the '91 Cryer Rule has been announced. Or do you mean Darwin's December 31st '92 Glasgow Charity Hogmanay Ball Addendum? that Amendment was actually ratified after midnight, and few people remember the tournament clearly. ..Which is why it's known as the 1993 Addendum - the 1992 Addendum was ratified well before midnight, and allows the 1984 Shuttleworth on Tuesdays during summer months.

Or do you mean Darwin's December 31st '92 Glasgow Charity Hogmanay Ball Addendum? that Amendment was actually ratified after midnight, and few people remember the tournament clearly. If you mean the intoxication rule, mean that only rules sets ratified while the adjudicators where intoxicated, that was thrown out in the interests of rule readability and the fact that it resulted in all players ending up in Bletchly Park and giggling at the word Bletchly. So invoking the Morovian Cross-Over I move to Tooting Broadway.

Does anyone have a copy of Morgan & Stanley's "A Decade in Review", published in 2000? I have been unable to find a copy in my local bookshop, but I believe it clarifies this discussion as Kalmukaru states above.


CCP Kalmukaru	Posted - 2008.07.08 14:28:00 - [32] Originally by: CCP Lingorm So invoking the Morovian Cross-Over I move to Tooting Broadway. I'm surprised that you'd leave a castling maneuver open - I propose that the train is paused at Knightsbridge and the imbibement reserves are broken out.


CCP Lingorm C C P	Posted - 2008.07.08 14:35:00 - [33] Edited by: CCP Lingorm on 08/07/2008 14:36:02 Originally by: CCP Kalmukaru Originally by: CCP Lingorm So invoking the Morovian Cross-Over I move to Tooting Broadway. I'm surprised that you'd leave a castling maneuver open - I propose that the train is paused at Knightsbridge and the imbibement reserves are broken out. And you fell for it ... Imbibement can only be called in sight of a Turkish repastment facility. Penalty and I do believe that allows to complete the move to Angel.

CCP Lingorm C C P	Posted - 2008.07.09 09:19:00 - [34] Upminster seems the logical move here and I should also note : Boxing. If you haven't figured it out.

CCP Mephysto	Posted - 2008.07.09 09:58:00 - [35] Camden Town, as per the King James II court rules.


CCP Kalmukaru	Posted - 2008.07.09 10:34:00 - [36] Originally by: CCP Mephysto Camden Town, as per the King James II court rules. The only logical move at this point, then, is North Kenton, set by precedent in the Civic Planning Commission appendix of the 2007 analysis of the 1997 Guilford Invitational.


CCP Mephysto	Posted - 2008.07.09 17:01:00 - [37] Well, I see noone has respect for the traditional rules anymore. A pity. I reverse sidestep to Chancery Lane.


CCP Kalmukaru	Posted - 2008.07.10 10:41:00 - [38] Originally by: Zanza Ke Edited by: Zanza Ke on 10/07/2008 01:34:28 According to the Hanoverian Rules (talk about old school and traditional), after a Clue reference is made, we have to move down the same track to Pudding Mill Lane. After all, it is named after pudding and pudding is tasty. I'll see your Pudding Mill Lane, and up the ante with a move to the Kitchen, I have some sneaking suspicions about Col. Mustard.
