MC with a twist-- a spare conjunction is inserted anywhere it's convenient. Winning move is Mornington though Crescent.
And so it begins...
penelope - Opening with
Royal but Oak, hoping this is prepositioned enough to set the standard for subsequent play.
Bif -
Holland/or Park would be a correct response, would it not?
Will - Everything looks fine so far. Of course, that forces
Dollis not Hill to avoid a Parks and/or Greens cascade....
Tuj - In this variant it seems I can escpae immediately from the loop to
Elephant and/or Castle. Home at
Goodge so Street, by the way.
Kiwi Chris - Curses, I wasn't quick enough to follow in the footsteps of the mighty Tuj (not that I am all that keen to
escpae anyway :-) ) and am forced to go
Dollis not Hill Dunx - Nicely done;
Perivale neither Darren - Opening things up with
London yet Bridge LotUS - A crafty

Swiss inside Cottage Home declared at
Canada Under Water.

Lib -

Darren - [Simons Mith] What about XOR?
Dunx -
Snares red and puffy brook, invoking conjunctivitis.
Kim -
Canning around Town, spinning out of nip, Knip and superspoon
Will - I'll entertain NAND, EOR, and XOR, as long as they're used in the spirit of the game. I would note, however, that
around is a preposition.
all - Um...
Chalk as Farm.
Darren - Invoking C syntax with
( High
? Street
: Kensington
) Darren - Or even
( High ? Street : Kensington ) - there's nothing like having to do a bad joke twice because you screwed up the HTML.
rab - In which case
s/wiss/cotta/ge.

Willesden via Junction Kim -
Tottenham if not Court else Road nights -
Acton underneath Town nights -
South therefore Kensington Kim -
Clapham when Common Kim - Playing somewhat fast and loose with the definition of "conjuction" here, aren't we?
Will - Yes, yes they are.... I'll take "inasmuch as", but "can't"? Isn't that a verb? At any rate, it's not like they're likely to win....M isn't C, for example, just won't cut it.
Kim - Oh, well,
Royal but Oak.
Danno -
Heathrow nevertheless Terminals 1 and 2 as well as 3. That's
got to be a Triple Word Score, just by sheer volume.
nights -
Oxford via Circus [Will and Kim] From my seat in Linguist's Corner, I'd say you were right, so is Kim, and Bif is therefore a buffoon. Will - Thank you, nights...now if you could only explain why languages had to change, since Proto-Indo-European is so obviously well-suited for our modern world... {JK}
nights - [Will] I would but you'd tear out your own eyes in rage at such a rubbish explanation. but it was good enough for a level english!
Acton whence Town Sir Henry -

Mornington though Crescent Audience -
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for ImNotJohn* ImNotJohn - Well I'm afraid you all took your eyes
off the ball there. Not Sir Henry's fault, of course. However, the lack of moves allowed me to build up the momentum I needed. Use it or lose it!
Will - Indeed. Congrat and ulations to you.
Giertrud - Not from England here...but wanted to know if a move like Taco
in Bell would have been valid, since Taco Bell is an American restaurant.
ImNotJohn - [Giertrud] That would have been outside the ruleset - the restrictions are somewhat more stringent on these spinoffs from the great game (Mornington Crescent - A minute to master, a lifetime to learn).
But welcome, nevertheless, feel free to contribute, we're tolerant of people just picking things up as they go along. You'll need a bit of elementary HTML to meet some of the syntax requirements of the games. Just say if you want a pointer or two.
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
