Inverse Crescent. You are drawn by a gradually increasing force towards MC. The measurement of the force (which we will call "Pull") is basically -LV, but it does not increase at a uniform rate. This is probably due to quantum. (The technical specialists among us can expand on this.) Periodic announcements on the current level of Pull will be made by Mission Control. The aim is to resist the increasing attraction to MC as long as possible. The higher your LV away from MC, the longer you can resist, but if your LV becomes greater than 186,000, then you break free of Pull altogether and spin off into outer wotsit, ending up god knows where. The first person to arrive at MC, obviously, loses the game.
Good morning. Pull has been measured today at 7.32. This is a slightly bigger jump than expected, but well within normal tolerances. We would advise all players that the use of high LV to pass close to MC is a logical strategy at low levels of Pull, but becomes more risky as Pull increases. The inverse strategy, that of using a low LV combined with high levels of Pull to induce a "sling-shot" is equally risky without meticulous calculation. Tuj has spun-off altogether, by virtue of increasing his LV to greater than 186,000. By our calculations, he is now either somewhere in the Gamma Quadrant or possibly Taunton. With some careful positional play, he may get back into the game in a few moves. Today's special is Lamb Korma. That is all.
Wobbling at Walthamstow, with LV jumping between 9.085 and 11.23 - I think the Piccadilly breakdown must have increased quantum on the Victoria. MC] Is there naan bread?
Wheeeeee! Hurtled past the Great Station without even a momentary hesitation. The slingshot effect has put me out to the comparative safety of Eastcote with LV only marginally increased to 23.33333......
Damn! Held at Baker Street with a dangerously high LV of 2,750, which can be maintained in geo-statis only with the careful application of a buttered cat and a tall stepladder from which to drop it, thus creating a source of perpetual motion, and saving the LV Potential for use when the rush hour is over.
Good morning-ing. We apologise for thethethethethe temporary interruption to announcements. Sometime the day before yesterday, Pull unexpectedly spiked at a significant, but not critical, -2,750, causing all players to experience jolt and causing some local servers to fall over temporarily. Pull appears to have settled again at -42. Some microfractures have been observed in Zone 6; caution is advised. Today's special is Cod Mornay. That is all.
Err....hi. Err... the guys at the Mission Control reporting desk have left a yellow sticky which says "Pull=85.292, Zone 6 unsafe". The Christmas party last night was quite a bash. I guess the guys and gals from the desk will be in later.
Luckily I'm waaaay closer to the centre of the Black Hole than Zone 6, so am relatively unaffected. Unfortunately a mince pie on the track has left my LV down at 0.3 and I'm being sucked into the centre. I need a solar flare or something to give me a bit if pep - going to check out Great Portland Street and hoping I don't catch too much gravity. [Mission Control] What's today's Special?
Ramping up the LV sharply through the gearbox into third, and speeding towards Dollis Hill, desperately hoping that we won't get drawn into a sub-orbit.
We apologise for the interruption to today's normal service. Sorry, don't know what today's special is, or was. Constitutions not strong enough even to look at the menu.
What happened then? I was just taking a leisurely swing through Chalfont & Latimer when I ran into a quantum entanglement. Now I've got an LV of 27,238 and climbing and I'm at Lancaster Gate
Good morning. is Mission Control. Pull meas -246.232 and appears to be ris entially. Zone 6 is now completely f . Anynynynynynyone caught in the Franczovic Wave at the border of Zone 5 should reset shield manifolds and re- by means of a pa understrile at Ealing Broadway, taking care not to . AXI has spun off and should . Today's special is Bee . is all.
Ramping up the LV away from the centre and charging through to Swiss CottageSt. John's Wood. Oh, crikey! Even though I had anough LV, I got pulled back! I'm beginning to see how potentially dangerous this game could turn out to be....
East Broadway, but still simultaneously on the Victoria Line - quantum is still flaring, but I'm hoping a jump to the A line might solve that. LV dangerously high at 103, 963.4 recurring (I blame the mince pies).
SRB's jettisoned approaching Chalk Farm. LV 3,552 and rising more quickly than expected, but still within nominal limits. Mission Control, your communications are suffering interference but I will wave at the border of Zone 5 as instructed.
No, wait! Don't do anything! That wasn't us - at least it was us, but we didn't just post that bulletin. Pull has been measured at -1,498.34. A quantum singularity appears to have opened up over Finchley Road. Could it be that the message came from........the future? Today's special is Pork Chops. That is.....all, we think.
Nice to see that Mission Control got my message and passed on the warning. Naturally I've now moved on to Heathrow (1) nudging a white dwarf podume towards the B.H. as I did so, in the fond hope that it will keep it busy for a while.
