mc5 - A Simple Game of MC

Well, our MC-playing muscles have probably become a bit atrophied from lack of use, so how about a simple game so we can all limber up a bit? Let's see:

The Finsbury Option is available at all times.
You can have no more than three pegs, two spoons and ten tokens in play at any one time.
Oblique moves shall imply open laterals and vice versa.
The magnitude of the Argand diagram of the second differential of Line Velocity shall not exceed unity without the prior agreement of all players.
Prior agreement may be obtained retrospectively by inter-toggling the snoods, but obviously that will invert the Bakerloo line unless there is at least a semi-active frume within three moves of Sloane Square.

There. I don't think I can simplify things any further than that without making a travesty of the entire game. So, let's get on with it then.

Raak

Cannon Street

Um, why is everyone looking at me? Invisible podume on Monument.

Software

Bank

Covering Raak's podume with a radioactive token.

ImNotJohn

Covent Garden

Increasing Token weighting by 1.3

jim

Aldgate East

Crusher's gambit, of course. Token on Tower Hill, but we won't know what colour it is until someone unblonks quadrant 2 and collapses the waveform.

Spangle

Woodside Park

Just. That.

Simons Mith

Park Royal

Thus.

Software

Turnham Green

So.

ImNotJohn

Greenford

Quite.

FGZstar

West Acton

Joining late, now didn't I read somewhere that a late entrant automatically crushes any waveforms in quadrant 2?

Spangle

Kentish Town

Yes. Consider yourself crushed.

nfras

Angel

Now we can have lots of good fun that is funny.

Darren

Farringdon

As illustrated.

ImNotJohn

Colindale

When does FGZstar have to take the penalty for early revocation of the Parks and Greens cascade?

FGZstar

Green Park

Did someone say parks and greens?

Software

Kew Gardens

This weather perhaps indoor gardens.

nfras

Earls Court

[Softers] Streeton's Gambit, eh? Accepted. Cerise token to Elephant and Castle.

Tuj

Monument

[INJ] Undeclared, so I think technically he gets away with it. Wouldn't work in a spoken word game, of course, but that's technicalities for you.

Spangle

*farkles*

ImNotJohn

Seven Sisters

[Tuj] Well, 'technically', of course you're right, but there's just the faintest whiff of Ruttsborough about it. Given that, I give notice that my move is Oblique and that therefore the laterals are opened.

FGZstar

Russell Square

Trying to counteract the oblique with a bit of squareness.

nfras

Sloan Square

Closing the laterals.

Software

Trafalgar Square

It's a square world.

ImNotJohn

Euston Square

Completing the square and claiming the bonus.

Software

Leicester Square

Moving into the fifth dimension.

FGZstar

Dollis Hill

Not the fifth dimension, softers! That's where all the gravitons are!

Spangle

Chalk Farm

Such larks.

Simons Mith

Finchley Road & Frognal

First larks, now finches.

Tuj

Oval

[INJ] Ah of course, I'd forgotten the original precedent. Although when in doubt, it was usually him who tried it on first ;)

Software

Dollis Hill

Did someone play Dollis Hill?

ImNotJohn

Dollis Hill

[Software] Just when I thought we'd managed to avoid the loop thanks to Spangle's sacrifice. Still, I suppose you had no choice - I certainly can't escape it, not with my anti-clockwise LV.

Simons Mith

Dollis Hill

This time round I'm jumping in with glee!

FGZstar

Dollis Hill

I'm sorry, but it seems Software missed some elementary physics, entered the fifth dimension (that's where all the gravitons are), and got us all caught up in a huge loop of gravity. The only way I could possibly hope to free us was to send us into a more stable loop and invert the gravitational pull. Now, how do we get out of this?

nfras

Ongar

Sacrificing 6 green podumes in the process.

Software

Dollis Hill

Rather looks like those podumes were sacrificed for nowt. Ongar has run out of rail.

FGZstar

Dollis Hill

I'm sorry about this guys, I didn't mean to trap us all, but I didn't want the world to end in a black hole, either. Maybe this video will help to explain things.
