Find yourself a station. One station per person. The penalty for any indiscretion will be the immediate confiscation of tokens (to be kept by the referee). Winning move is ‘Dr Qu+xum’
Kew Gardens - What's your hurry, Woody-boy?
I'm just chillin' with a frothy [yet curiously relaxing] bi-furcation of
CdM/Breadmaster. Watch and weep.
Tower Hill - Screeches into
Nina and challenging the inversion of
Dujon which, surely, is already in that state.
London Bridge - Seconding Tower Hill's challenge and opening a
Beaches and animals cascade with
sandycat.
Osterly - After two failed attempts at playing the winning line, I wonder if I made an error in the set up. Pressing on with
ISayPorter.
Verney Junction - There's nothing worse than making a move of
Sir Joseph Bazalgette
Goodge Street - [VJ] True, though considering I've already been to DrQ and back, I doubt much will come of it.
Boolbar,
reversing.
farkle - avoiding the option to shunt
Botherer.
Bank - [Osterly] Just to make sure that the default move isn't in place...
Mornington Crescent...
Bank - ...which it isn't! Not sure whether that's a relief or not... Anyway, plumping onwards with
plump.
Kew Gardens - I can only follow that up with an
I'mNotJohn denial.
Old Street - Starting at
gil halfway down the Amazon. Home at
matt
Goodge Street - Shock tactics (overcoming initial surprise at being told "A 'MARTHA' tag has been left open") to try and force a result:
Martha Farquar!
Tower Hill -
nfras to rest and recuperate after the trauma of the
Goodge Street move.
Old Street - Hold fast ! There's yet time for a quick
ZK !
Mudchute - There might even be time for
Googolplex, the Amazing Balancing Goat from Luxembourg
Goodge Street - I'll put my
Software into action then, obtaining a crimson podume from Old Street.
Bank - That means it's time for a dastardly
Anthrax Whirl!
London Bridge - Whipping up the LV rather dangerously, aren't we?
Bob the dog should stabilise that.
Audience -
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Dollis Hill*
Bank - Well I reckon that Kew Gardens was Chalky, St John's Wood was Inkspot, and Goodge Street was nights.
London Bridge - Goodge Street can't have been nights - he was away for a week. I think Goodge Street was Dunx, Dollis Hill was penelope and Oakwood may have been Botherer.
Inkspot - I was playing but not St. John's Wood.
Uncle Korky - Strange... I'd have expected more Cluedo-style action than this...
Darren - I was playing. But who was I?
Tuj - Darren]
*sticks pin in page* St John's Wood? Tough these.
Osterly - I suspect Tuj to be Dollis Hill.....gets list out ready

Old Street - I was just getting into this game ! I had a
Tuj up my sleep and everything. (Does this mean I'm on 3 moves now ?)
Osterly - Sounds like you've been having a very scarey nightmare. Hope it's not a recurring one.
Darren - [Tuj] Correct! I was, indeed, the very St John's Wood who tried so desperately to stop this game before it descended into someone else winning it.
Rayners Lane - Err..actually, I played 3 moves. Not that it matters....
Uncle Korky - In that case, results so far...
1.
St John's Wood =
Darren
Tuj - Wow, one-nil! And no, [Osterly], Dollih Hill wasn't me. Was it Chalky, I wonder...? And ditto Rosie and Bank?
Bank - I wasn't Rosie. I don't think he tends to play MC games.
Tuj - Should I be guessing in character?
Botherer - And I was indeed Oakwood, although I did drop a proverbial at one stage.
Uncle Korky - Tuj] Feel free to do either, or both (if you really wish to obfuscate!)
Scores on the doors:
1.
St John's Wood =
Darren2.
Oakwood =
Botherer
Darren - Actually, I'm more curious to know how people identified us, than who we all were!
Inkspot - [Darren] Finding out how the mind of an MC player works
*shudders* that is somewhere I'd prefer not to go. *heads for a lie down*
Could Chalky possibly have been Bank?
Old Street - As a clue to my identity, I'm a fairly rare contributor to MC
5, though I believe I actually suggested its name. I'm far more often spotted on Orange & MCiOS.
Bank - Not Chalky either - still waiting for her to deny being Kew Gardens.
Old Street] Could you be LotUS?
Uncle Korky - Might New Cross really turn out to be Inkspot?
London Bridge - Going out on a limb here, but I think that Botherer might also have played as Botherer and Strand (and possibly another station), and Ella as Ella and Barking.
Inkspot - Good guess but not New Cross
Tuj - Inkspot] What about Kew Gardens?
Old Street - Nope, not LotUS. More spherical than that.
New Cross - hello, I'm a young man named nights. boo!
Tuj - Well, if we're at that stage, I was a young man named Goodge Street.
Inkspot - No not Kew Gardens but Osterly not quite stting the game up propely.
Uncle Korky - Oh well... if masks are coming off...

London Irouleguy Bridge -
*definitely not penelope* So, of the stations who played more than once, that just leaves Tower Hill, Ladbroke Grove and Rayner's Lane to unmask.

Tower Hill - I was rather nervous when entering this game as I'm jolly near a first timer. I do play non-MC games, though, and have done for some time. One of my moves was a faux pas, although I like to think of it as a cunning and devious ploy.
Rayner's Lane - One of my moves was a cunning and devious ploy, masquerading as a faux-pas.
Tower Hill - [Rayner's Lane] Touché! So, what's it to be good squire, butting goats or balancing ballerinas? . . .
I shall meet you at dawn!
Mudchute - I thought I posted twice, but I won't ask for a recount. You'll have worked out that I wasn't Chalky. An occasional poster here, but I have been spotted in
101 Uses...
Rayner's Lane - [Tower Hill] Handbags at thirty paces, I fancy. I don't suppose you're Anonymouse, are you?
Tower Hill - [Rayner's Lane] Nyet! May I ask you if you are in fact Googolplex the Balancing Goat from Luxemburg (or at least, Googolplex)? .....
Handbags? You tart! Underarm deoderant at 10 metres - that should fix one or other of us (you, if I don't use mine).
Tower Hill -
Perhaps deodorant might be more reasonable?
Uncle Korky - Come on, you last few - do the reasonable thing and whip those masks off! You know it makes sense!
Kim - Oh, all right. Rayner's Lane - c'est moi. [Tower Hill] Googleplex? GOOGLEPLEX? You're kidding, right? Anyway, I don't mean to be picky (though, somehow, I always manage it) but think you'll find that he is Googleplex the
Amazing Balancing Goat from Luxembourg.
Mudchute - It is I, Leclerc! Also known as Robin.
penelope - I don't think I played in this game - it wasn't me guv'nor.
Dujon - aka Tower Hill] As I said, one of my moves was a blunder! Hey, ho.
Uncle Korky - Thans, folks - I think that about wraps it up!
