The Furcation game was so pleasant
With more spirit than Annie Besant
But all things must pass
All flesh is as grass
It's time to say Mornington Crescent!

Or even just Mornington Crescent

[Irouléguy] Have you actually looked up to see the great game that once was? This behemoth has a little bit of distance to go yet. It's just stalled, that's all.

Just stalled? Look, matey, I know a dead game when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

I don't think so. And, unfortunately for you, what I say, goes. :)

the boy has a point. we are all slaves to rab's mood in this case (and no-one can remember the terminating move either).

[nights] There isn't one :)

Cheers three for rab. Are there any current rumours of a move afoot?

I haveN'T THE FIRst clue about HTML, so you won't have one from me.

nights] You don't need it - just hi-jack someone else's table and reword (repaint if desired). That's how I learned.

I got about 33% through composing a move this weekend, but because of the nature of it, I have to start again from the beginnning (or very nearly) if I don't create and post it within a short space of time. Watch this space.

Anyone for a quick game of "Where's my yoghurt?" while we wait for Projoy's ineffable masterpiece?

blame] How do we play this? And isn't "quick" a little optimistic?

Given how seldom I eat it, my yoghurt is probably still in a cow.

mine's probably in the fridge in Bath where I left it in June. THAT should give the letting company a surprise.

For some reason, mine's started calling itself "Bob".

Bob the Yog?

It's short for Robert the Yoghurt.

How does the markup work?

[Palnatoke] Have a look at Dr Qux+um's excellent site, where you will learn more than you ever thought possible about HTML

You know, I was afraid to look in here, as the last version of this game used to crash my browser when I tried to open it. And now I come in here using the powerful server at work, and I find you all standing around gossiping!

Last actual move in the game was 29th July 2004...

That's quite a while ago isn't it. Projoy murmered something about a Korean epic, if I recall...

I wouldn't hold your breath, necessarily. As mentioned I did once get about 20% of the way through a move, but if I don't do it all in a very short period it usually means I have to start from scratch again.

20, 33, whatever.

Try scratching?

Heh, almost three months later I answer your question Tuj: "Where's my yoghurt?" has a very similar relationship to the concept of "rules" as does the game of Mornington Crescent. Or to put it another way I made it up. Still, it got us talking for 6 moves. Maybe I should invent the game then... erm...

Okay everyone, I've hidden my yoghurt. I'll do a short and probably obscene mime of where I put it, then you can start guessing...
<mime>
Waves hands around slowly and stands on one leg. Falls over.
</mime>
Okay, start guessing. Yoghurt search on.

Has it been consumed by that baby walrus by your side?

this is queer

No it's not - it's rather gay actually - much like the Rupert-the-bear-style scarf which was worn in the mime. Is that a significant prop, blamelewis??

Darn it! Who left this yoghurt here? I've just got it all over my trouse... oh, sorry... hope I didn't spoil the game for anyone. Carry on...

Well, now that that's been cleaned up, perhaps we could try another round. <mime>
Raises left hand above head and hold right arm out fully extended, while scratching right calf with left foot. Falls over noisily.
</mime>

I'll give you a clue - it's a low-fat cherry one.

Stab in the dark - is it a pie?

What's a low-fat cherry?

Is it under that low, fat, cherry tree?
