Mornington Crescent Anyone?

[Salazaar]

As the days get shorter and the nights draw in I find myself hankering for another round of Mornington Crescent.

As an opener I'll declare Lord Wilkinton's parallel definition, subsection 1-5, 17 and 42 to be in play and reshuffle the stack accordingly.

From there I'll call Whittle's gambit and play King's Cross.


(And as a side moved can I call the favour of a mod to correct the obvious error in the thread title please?)

Morning Crescent Anyone?

is that like the "morning glory"?

[Salazaar]

is that like "the morning glory"?

No that would just demean the status of the game, which is illegal except under the Duckworth-Frond ruling of 1786 and that would involve more cross-instating than anyone has time for.

[MadduckUK]

Duckworth

unnerving

[JK Ferret]

unnerving

Lol

I'll call Paddington then, that's the one of the few I know of.


(Bloody hate this game, it's like blimming numberwang )

EDIT: I've changed from King's Cross, help if i read what station was originally called :/

[TeePee]

Do the Morning Cresent rules follow the 1972 Mornington Cresent rules?

If so, then as the winner of the previous game, I'll call the champions gambit, and play 'Chalfont and Latimer'.

Take that.

[Funkstar]

I take your 'Chalfont and Latimer' and give you Victoria with the reverse cross hop over to Bank.

yeah, you read that right.. a reverse cross hop. Anyone care to take the challenge?

[menthel]

Well, I can play that. I will use the 1932 Lulworth Cove sideways shuffle modified pike and take us to St John's Wood.

[MSIC]

I once saw a man move from Bank to Elephant & Castle using Cricket shuffle rules, but i'll be blown if i can remember them properly. So i'm afraid i have to announce Wood Lane, to give it it's first airing!

[kalniel]

Excuse me, I think the reverse cross hop needs to be challenged, especially following on from Chalfont and Latimer.

[Funkstar]

I don't think so.

See the 1972 amendment to section 6.

[kalniel]

But that has clearly been superceded by the 1978 ruling. I think there is a subvertive in our midst.

[Funkstar]

Then re-instated at the appeal in '79.

This is all documented in the Crown vs Scepter arbitration process

[MadduckUK]

does this game make anyone else irrationally angry?

[Funkstar]

Right, I'm filing an injuction against non-players. as per the Latimer standard.

[Whiternoise]

Seconded, section 6 subclaus 2 paragraph 16b line 5 clearly states that when in sconce, a reverse cross hop may be played but ONLY if play is moving to the third quadrant - which it clearly is.

I'll play Angel.
