It's that Game again - Page 4

Remind me, once the Churchillian convention has been invoked (Tootsall) does this remain in play or is it for one turn only?

If it is still in play then Pimlico to Northfields ought to be an acceptable move.

Tootsall · 11-06-2005, 07:58 PM

I was hoping that nobody would try that, Adrian. However, honesty forces me to accept that Fidich's interpretations of the Churchillian Conventions do indeed permit the first person who may question the Convention to effectively terminate said Convention. Therefore your move is perfectly within the rules of the game.

Unfortunately, that does then permit me to use the tangential side-shift;

Rayners Lane

Toots- Tangential Side-shift must only be used in accordance with the Orange Cat convention rules of '67, stated by placement of a p as one of the letters in a multi-named station following Spoon-play. However, one result of that set is a squibble can parlee into a flipletted bean as per the same; hence my move:
Penn Station.

(Manny and Wilmer might feel a bit more at home now).

tpter1-

Don't you need to sacrifice at least one podume in order to execute that manuever?

Folks-Help me out. What is the practical difference between a podume and a token? It seems to me that the difference is largely semantic.

Will it help if I understand this chart? http://www.dunx.org/white-rose/podumes.html

Regardless-

tpter1-

I invoke Tobamory's Strategem and I also call Penn Station. As I undertand the rules, I have executed a cross blocker and you can now be sent to Ongar...where you will languish!

A few observations so far...

Nobody called Lara on "Kings Cross/St Pancras". That's two choices, each opening a completely different set of options.... She shows great promise, but when other players ignore a move like that, it will most certainly impede her development as a player.

Now to the "Hatch End" conundrum...

Thematic style of play is often a sensible approach and should be encouraged. Trumpet performance appears to be a surprise theme in this part of the game, beginning with Elephant and Castle, then obviously Warren Street, then to Hatch End (home of the Sir Roger Bannister athletic performance complex), and back to the theatre district and Pimlico and so on. Still OK...

Then Adrian breaks stride and goes to Northfields. He clearly wishes to excercise an inverse flexion response, using the Heathrow extension of the Piccadilly Line expertly to accomplish this. If it were not for the replacement bus service from Hatton Cross, this would have been highly illegal. Yet what we have instead is a masterful example of Adrian's years of expertise finally coming to fruition.

Toots' tangential side-shift to Rayners Lane instantly returns us to the thematic approach. Target-wise, Rayners Lane boasts both a somewhat "long in the tooth" big band venue (Rayners Lane Hotel), as well as one of the best athletic footwear shops in metroland, run by a friend and fellow HAC coach. What is impressive about this move, moreover, is how he got there. Try to stay with this, as it will open up massive options, if one is patient, for PH in particular. Watch and learn...

From Northfields (Piccadilly) to Rayners Lane (also Piccadilly) requires a change of trains at Acton Town, despite both stations being on the same line. PH, due to his understanding of public transport (as well as Thai curry and beer) in the Richmond area, will be able to invoke mirror techniques implying Turnham Green (whether he explicitly plays that station or not) based upon the same double back strategy, but within the District line instead.... check it out, folks.... and nobody will have an answer to this move.

Now I'll fade back into the shadows and leave you guys alone to play. I hope my commentary helped some of you understand the richness of the game more fully.

PM me for further insights if you wish. As for me, I need to go back to the TH to read about how to develop 'monster' high school chops without hardly practising anything but embouchure efficiency exercises. If successful, I can circumvent my busy HS lifestyle, and spend 3-8 hours per day developing monster Mornington Crescent chops, instead of wasting time practising crap like Arbans and Schlossberg.

Dave

Um....in....American English please?

You lost me after the "Hatch End conundrum" part.....and I didn't quite pick up until the "Dave" part. lol.

Thank you for clearing that King's cross thing up...the map I have makes it look like they are one place, so I didn't know if I wanted one, the other, or both...

Okies, back to the game.

PH- I shall block the strategem by invoking Stapleton's Charter...the version adopted (Opel's Poly) for such use renders Ongar unuseable; further, we have been placed into somewhat of a perogorem whereby only the Charter (1968 version). This places you in stasis.

Further, if podumes or tokens are sacrificed, it must be done by casue of Heinlein's Third Categorum of Invective (tangential side-stepping left aside, of course).

Riverhead Station.
