Well, the Projoy Paradox still looked unstable, so I've had to refurcate the original. But the Blob Behemoth might threaten to overwhelm it in a move or two.

i Stratford	[Cast and weasels line up in 2 columns and begin courtly dancing, Lutenist calling out the dances] Lutenist:Weasels all, find thee a man to Start a 3/4-time Coranto! Now comes one that's really 'ard, Segue into a Galliard! Don't let either partner falter, As we start a quick La Volta End the way we all began, Finish on a brief Pavane! [All fall down exhausted] I thank thee, noble weasels, for thy pains, Including that one, tied up in his reins. For I dost need the practice, ere I sing Before our noble master called the King. Graziela: I'faith? Art thou assigned to play your tunes At Castle Drogo, for our king? Eftsoons You'll be there, like the lord of light thou art, I'll speed you there in this, my weasel cart!
ii Oh Yes It Is!	Prince Charming: As I was saying, o fair Graziela, I wish for your hand in marriage Graziela: O fair Prince, how romantic. When shall we be married? Boleti: He doesn't want you, he wants to marry your hand. Prince Charming: But what about the rest of her body? Azulejo: I say boys'n'girls, if the rest of the body shows up, you will shout "It's Behind You", won't you? Graziela: Do you take me for a fool, sir? Prince Charming: I want to take you for my wife Boleti: Same thing. Prince Charming: You are close to an idiot! Boleti: I am? [takes a step back] Graziela: Enough of this. We'll need permission from my father, whose land is currently being ravished by a vicious flame-spouting dragon that cost a packet in special effects. Let's go off and tell him.
iii Fork Charm 48	James Bond on Mary Whitehouse, reversing. [Blob] Nice move!
iv reverse Comment to Projoy	[Projoy] It's really the simple minimalist elegance of your move, in the manner of Mies van der Rohe and Kasimir Malevich that freaks me out.
v Small Earthquake	Overinflated
vi Sound Charades	OK. [matt] Is it The Swede Smeller's Excess = The Sweet Smell of Success? I figured "Smell" was right, and then went through all the smelly films I could think of. [rab] Hmm, not sure. Is it maybe Signs = Sines?? Prob'ly not. (PS. good clue)
vii Limacres	I'll start with an easy rhyme, this time. I once heard a fishmonger say:
viii 10,000 Celerity CD's	9,998 VW Golfs
ix Nostalgia for Last Week	Ee, I remember when all the kids were copying David Beckham's Cornrow hairstyle and listening to Girls Aloud, by eck, those were the days.

I see all these rows have different colours, but I can only see a dull brown on N4.

[MF] Hurrah! I think at about one move a week, and we might be able to keep up the suspense. By the way your guess on my charade was correct. Well done. (But is it right to say this here, or must it be played as part of The Game?).

It's still going faster than the original Stratford or Oh Yes It Is games did. :o) I didn't think I was right with Signs - I toyed with Russian Arc for ages, knowing you'd seen it. And I don't see what's wrong with commenting on the games down here, it happened all the time in Acre St. IIRC

It's not so much commenting on The Game itself, more that my comment about the charade could be construed as being part of The Game, and so really ought to be played as part of it. I don't know. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously!

... all of which means it's presumably either matt or Projoy's turn. Blob, I believe, is on holiday, and so it might be nice to squeeze in a couple more furcations in time for his return.
