The Furcation Game
help
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.

[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.

Stratford		 [Exeunt]

Act I, Scene 2

Castle Drogo. Enter King Syze, his daughter Meediam, Peugeot the Fool and assorted courtiers

Princess Meediam: Honoured father, why mayn't I perchance
Acquire a consort for thy Floral Dance?
Peugeot: Hark thee now, sirrah, to this silly bint
Fruit of thy loins -- and wit of thy loins it seems
Who craves for suitors at thy birthday stint
As Bob the Dog doth crave for Custard Creams

Oh Yes It Is!		 Prince Charming: Tell him? Doesn't he already know that his land is being ravished by a vicious flame-spouting dragon that...
[Graziela slaps him]
Azulejo: Welcome to married life, Prince!
Graziela: [to Azulejo] You can shut up for a start.
[to the Prince] No, my love, tell him he's going to gain a son.
Prince Charming: Your mother's pregnant?
[Graziela sighs heavily]
Boleti: [to Graziela] Not the sharpest tool in the box, is he?

Reverse Comment to Projoy		 [Projoy] Who could fail to salute such a move? The Earth and Sky do bow down before its magnificence! The bones of the Hell-Hounds tremble to see such a move dawning upon the Earth. In the face of such brilliance what remains to be done? Nothing!

So that's what I'll do.

Sound Charades		 [Martha] Spot on. Wot, no charade? Well, in the meantime, scrape the bottom of the barrel with this (which is both rubbish and offensive, and won't even be topical for another 6 months):
Inscribed in hieroglyphics on the tomb of Thutmos III: Book & Film, 5 Words
Trinny: Dear God, Susannah, I don't know how much more of this I can take!
Susannah: I know, darling, I know. Believe me, I've been celibate since Spring/Summer 2002, I know the price of fashion.
Trinny: Ever since sodding Lagerfeld went on his "Convent" kick we've all had to abstain from, well, you know what, and by now I'm climbing the bloody walls! If it goes on much longer I'll have to run amok with an axe!
Susannah: Just hang on a little while, the 2004 collections aren't far away and my spies in the couture houses tell me it'll be all-change this autumn.
Trinny: You mean...?
Susannah: Yes, my dear. Praise be to God and Coco Chanel, next season we'll be saying goodbye to primly-artificial sexual frustration and a grateful hello to...

Tasting Notes		 This one has a remarkable nose, oozing with strawberry shortcake and parma violets, then really hits the back of the throat with the rich lushness of steak tartare and elderflower before a lingering ketamine and marjoram finish with notes of rutting mink. Well worth 17 points in anyone's book! (Available in limited quantities from Oddbins and selected branches of Homebase.)
