and may i also take this time to declare a full reverse waffle in effect

Most flattered to have you with us, LotUS. It's open season here. Hop in, if you dare.

Hmmm, you're certainly picking it up quickly, Snags. Was I correct in inferring from your earlier statement that you're a beginer, or where you trying to lull us all into a false sense of security? In any event, you show promise, lad/lass. That was a most impressive move, worthy of respect among established, seasoned players all. Indeed, Full Reverse Waffles can be deadly while they're still hot. I'm getting outta the way until this one cools down. Fortunately I'm always prepared for eventuallities like this. And thus, for this move, I shall - mercilessly - **Farkle!!!** Heh heh.

In that case, Thrax, Dollis Hill.

Dollis Hill. You rotter! Well, we're all in the same boat now, folks.

you are correct to assume i am a beginer as this is my first true game(i ahve played many against the java applet) but do not concider me an amature, i have spent three days learning the rules and now that the waffles have cooled for many hours i can play Kenton and double my life total.(although i still am not certan if we each have our own player tokens or if there is one community token that we all move)

Ah! The sagacity of the novice! What sheer luck has allowed him to burst the confines of the Dollis Hill loop so swiftly? Fairlop, and be damned!

Er - what happened to the LV? I only make it 65.13, and even taking into account Thrax's farkle... Humby-ho. Gallion's Reach

Finaly this game has enough upward momentum that i can Farkle! twice in the same turn without throwing us into the dreaded double farkle spiral of doom.

Two farkles? Too much for me! A swift reverse all the way to Ealing Broadway

Camden, and declaring home stations at Picadilly and Victoria.

Snags, for a beginner you show promise, Sir or Madam(which are you?). I'm sure you'll understand that this is why I came out at you so aggressively in the opening phase. My philosophy is always to stamp hard on the new bloods and see how they handle themselves. I do this in the hope that they'll not merely survive, but also thrive under pressure, becoming stronger as a result. Evil Doctor Thrax, as I am known to some, is not entirely without compassion you know. In any event, I'm impressed by how well you handled yourself back there. Respect earned, and given. *doffs hat.*

Since Thrax seems to be playing rather a lot in this game, I have ample opportunity to study the intended style and position before plunging in. In this case, with Lancaster Gate, for maximum inconvenience - nothing personal, but I'm not about to let anybody get too far ahead purely through overactivity ;-)
