I also think that it's nominally my turn, but I'm not going to be taking it just now so if anyone else wants to weigh in, please do.

I'm just hoping that my next move happens to coincide with the Christmas break so I can have an excuse for not talking to my family. (Apart from the fact that I'm a curmudeonly old cove).

[rab] I think it's your go. [Tuj] You didn't answer my charade. And what happened to the Celeb Commentary? Or was that the bear?

[MF] Really? If I recall it went matt, me, you, Tuj ... so certainly matt has to play before me, unless he bows out.

I thought it went me, [anyone], [someone else], me... so as to avoid any one person monopolising the game by playing every other move

Oh.

[MF] Your charade baffled me, and considering it went into the dramatisation, they couldn't guess it as it wasn't in the play before. Accusation 2 also denied: the celebrity commentary (which I didn't fully understand) became celebrity commentary in the OK! magazine read by Meediam in strand K (the article being about notable celebrity Prince Charming).

Completely, badger-buggeringly, insane.

Bravo!

No. Projoy's working on a move, and if you want to be taken seriously you should tell us who you are.

[rab] Projoy's doing one? Joy!
[Suggestion to Suggestion] Clear orff, the bloodlust is clouding your vision!

[Tuj] He muttered something along those lines in the Pilgrim's game at Orange. However, the proof, as they say, will be in the synthetic whipped-cream dessert.

If someone doesn't move soon, I'm going to claim a win. Tuj's move was illegal.

I am not, by the way, Suggestion

Why was it illegal? I take that as an insult of a very personal nature, and that's before you've evenexplained why.

I didn't create the celeb commentary for my health, you know. Saying you didn't understand it isn't good enough. I suggest you put it back in.

Yes, I am working on a move. This process has so far consisted of conceiving the correct form for it. I'm bored with tables and Good HTML, and besides, one of Martha's initial reverse comments to Projoy implied that it would be an attempt to reunify all the strands, a promise I intend to fulfil. In addition I need to learn a bit of Korean, and, being me, add an impossible new set of things to do.

And you'll get a pat on the back and a hearty well done if you do. And what greater incentive could there be?

I shure hope Projoy is working on a move, as I'm currently testing an improved HTML checker (with integral visual tag jiggler) which I hope to put online in the next couple of days. Should help with those lengthy submissions.

*completely gratuitous posting alert* What a mouth-watering prospect! A lengthy submission by Projoy, aided by a rab's tag jiggler.

Yes, as soon as this panto is over...

Although I can't necessarily promise something really profound for your jiggler to get its teeth into.

[rab, Tuj et al] To be honest, the only reason I've got it in for this game is because I don't understand it. And suggestions are, in the grand tradition of life, there to be ignored :) And the day I am taken seriously is the day I may have to shuffle off this mortal coil. Would anyone like to explain the game for me?

Simple. 'A' plays a move. 'B' plays a more complicated move. Continue until someone's head explodes.

My head exploded after the fifth move....

Read, tried understanding, failed.

It helps if you read from the birth...

...and of course bear in mind that this game was actually played the first time in special conditions in 1953. It is now being spooled out with the moves in reverse order for your amusement. The reason for the current seeming long gap is that at this stage in 1953 the original Dr Heinz Tuj died of syphalis when it was his turn. The others therefore used transcripts of what he had said previously to piece together a final (or initial, as it is being reproduced backwards) move for him. Now read on.

Ohhhh, so that's what this game is! I thought it was just a two-stranded MC game. Brilliant stuff, everyone. I particularly like the reunifying aspect.
I may make a move at some point in the future (I take it's not going to go away too soon) but not at all imminently. (It's a bit disturbing that I missed Acre Street whilst away from MC, isn't it?)

OK, I give up. Life is just not long enough.

Me too....

I'm still working on a move (honest, just started again). Should I try and reunify everything, or is anyone else out there still planning to move?

Do what you like... and a new move might act as a fillip to re-enter the play!
