Oh, Emergency Philosopher! Thank God you're here!

But what does it mean to be "here". I'm not where you are, as you're occupying that region of spacetime just now that you would describe as "here". But then what do we mean by "now"? And given that the Earth is moving very fast, are there any fixed "here"s?

[Tuj] No - just link away, click 'Stand' or 'Preview' and follow the instructions. As a courtesy: Aldwych Loop. Though this gives me an idea - perhaps I could create a short-cut tag for morningtonia entries...

[EP] Erm... well, thank God you came. I've had a bit of a scare - someone's postulated a premise that says "It's what we're here for, isn't it?". Should I consider this a rhetorical statement that does not require a response, or something more deeply profound that suggests a more binding, universal truth?

I think I shall play Aldwych. [Tuj] Nah, someone just needs to win the token race. I'm putting a fiver on the bob-tailed nag. Or do I mean token? Thank goodness you're here, Emergency Philosopher-Person!

Actually my initial post was intended as a query about the ruleset, but what the heck. Amersham.

[rab] I must have messed something up... I was expecting the box to appear and it never did (on my first move at least).
[SM] Taking the latest version of HP2K as standard, none of us is in a position to enter said token race, as no-one's declared a home station. And yet no-one can declare a home station due to the blockage of all flux having begun in the loop. At least that's what I thought. Can you see a way round it?
Oh, and Aldwych.
