Each game fork has its own rules. Additional forks may be possible if the particular game would allow it at the time. Reunifications must be legal in all affected forks.
nights, rab] Aww, come on, all it needs is a little love! There's not even all those drama threads wafting around, an' if you wriggle out of the celeb commentary and mash together another couple of threads it's barely any work at all! Thinks: maybe I could make another move, send it in a brown envelope to someone else, and they could play on!
The latest bifurcating limerick, reposted from the limericks game
CdM - Waiter! The bill, if you please / Excuse me, can we get the check [Raak] That had me laughing out loud.
Irouleguy - As soon as we've finished our cheese/And we're moving inside 'fore we freeze
Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec/Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech
Botherer - Our taxi awaits/The hideous stilton / It's cold enough out/The troublesome weather // The flight from Toronto/It flies in an hour / Except for the beer/I've got an account
Juxtapose - curse you, botherer... okay, I'll try line four
Chalky - [Jux] Ha! that happened to me last time - Raak beat me to Line 4 by about 10 minutes. So I copped Line 5. Deep joy :-)
Juxtapose - Waiter! The bill, if you please As soon as we've finished our cheese Our taxi awaits So no further debates / In the United States
Waiter! The bill, if you please As soon as we've finished our cheese The hideous stilton You serve at the Hilton / Could cause one to wilt on
Waiter! The bill, if you please And we're moving inside 'fore we freeze It's cold enough out That my pitcher of stout / To destroy without doubt
Waiter! The bill, if you please And we're moving inside 'fore we freeze The troublesome weather Has froze us together / Has ruined the leather
Excuse me, can we get the check Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec The flight from Toronto Is taking off pronto / Will quickly be gone so
Excuse me, can we get the check Or I'll miss my flight to Quebec It flies in an hour By platypus power / So bring it right now or
Excuse me, can we get the check Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech Except for the beer Charge that to Rich Gere / And these hazelnuts here
Excuse me, can we get the check Don't worry, it's all on Cal Tech I've got an account Of a stunning amount / Thanks to Ms. Lisa Blount
Waiter! The bill, if you please As soon as we've finished our cheese The hideous stilton You serve at the Hilton Has brought half the room to it's knees
Waiter! The bill, if you please As soon as we've finished our cheese The hideous stilton Could cause one to wilt on This nouvelle cuisine pair of peas
Actually it's not finished yet... we missed the "Waiter! The bill, if you please And we're moving inside 'fore we freeze" bit out. However I'm all out of funny rhymes for 'please'
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!
[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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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??
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>
