Mornington Crescent?

[louiselux]

Anyone fancy a game of Mornington Crescent?

Trondheim rules, but with the 1976 Bovington paradox, which I think we'll find adds quite a bit of excitement to the game!

I'll go first. I'm going to play, hmm: Colindale

We're playing the Bovington Paradox, remember.

Bollocks, I forgot! How embarrassing.

Well then, perhaps a move to Notting Hill Gate (4th variation on the traditional Stokesian attack).

[temaris.livejournal.com]

Hee! That makes a lateral shunt to Ladbroke Grove entirely feasible!

[cutselvage.livejournal.com]

Phenomenally played! That move has kindly shifted us into the Trevington-Smythe Inverse Quadrant Phase, allowing shifts on any Friday when used in conjunction with an amended Flynorth diagonal cross-link - which means I can jump to Ruislip Manor.

Although I do have to point out -- charming as that move was -- it is in fact Thursday. I think.

(It's Friday where I live!)

Ahem. That is to say, in the Codex of Global Participants, referring specifically to appendix 3.5, section c, those residing in the Pacific area can take advantage of the Trevington-Smyth Inverse Quadrant Phase (hereafter referred to as the T-SIQP) at exactly 12.13am on Fridays. I do believe that makes my move a legal one, though more experienced players are welcome to advise.

(hee!)

In which case I withdraw my point of order: a really stonking piece of T-SIQP play too. Jolly good show!

And, with a oblate inversion, I offer Leytonstone.

(and head home for the evening :-) )

Ah, the good old T-SIQP! That brings back such happy memories.

I'm aware I'm courting an outcry here, but I'm going to move to Notting Hill Gate.

Oh. Oh dear. I think you'll find that NHG has been played, and I'm almost sure that under the Bovington paradox you're only allowed to play NHG twice whilst in a state of quantum superposition.

I'm really not sure how to resolve this. Could we perhaps put you in a box with some caesium for a while? Or (and failing the availability of radioactive materials) perhaps rock, paper, scissors?

Thuogh I am willing to be corrected on this -- I've checked the rules but the Bovington paradox has always been ... tricky.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

How embarrassing!

Sadly, I think the latter Trondheim amendment 958.678c bans the use of caesium in this case because of the fallout from the 1981 Whaling Boat Clause.

One way round it of course is for me to perform an inverse three-point side step, neatly moving me to Lambeth North.

[cutselvage.livejournal.com]

A superb move! I do love a sharply-executed three-point side step.

Hmm. I think a reverse-oblique Towel Shift (Appendix 42 of the "Heart of Gold" Charter, written in - well, no one really knows, but nevermind) may be permissible here, to Elephant and Castle.
