Stations Revenge
help
Find yourself a station. One station per person. The penalty for any indiscretion will be the immediate confiscation of tokens (to be kept by the referee). Winning move is ‘Dr Qu+xum’
arrow_circle_up
Screeches into Nina and challenging the inversion of Dujon which, surely, is already in that state.
Seconding Tower Hill's challenge and opening a Beaches and animals cascade with sandycat.
After two failed attempts at playing the winning line, I wonder if I made an error in the set up. Pressing on with ISayPorter.
There's nothing worse than making a move of Sir Joseph Bazalgette
[VJ] True, though considering I've already been to DrQ and back, I doubt much will come of it. Boolbar, reversing.
avoiding the option to shunt Botherer.
[Osterly] Just to make sure that the default move isn't in place... Mornington Crescent...
...which it isn't! Not sure whether that's a relief or not... Anyway, plumping onwards with plump.
Mr Wild Pants. Ha!
I can only follow that up with an I'mNotJohn denial.
Dan (forced).
Starting at gil halfway down the Amazon. Home at matt
Shock tactics (overcoming initial surprise at being told "A 'MARTHA' tag has been left open") to try and force a result: Martha Farquar!
nfras to rest and recuperate after the trauma of the Goodge Street move.
Nina to try and speed things up a little
Hold fast ! There's yet time for a quick ZK !
There might even be time for Googolplex, the Amazing Balancing Goat from Luxembourg
Rosie, putting Dollis Hill into spin.
I'll put my Software into action then, obtaining a crimson podume from Old Street.
That means it's time for a dastardly Anthrax Whirl!
And a quick Blob.
Whipping up the LV rather dangerously, aren't we? Bob the dog should stabilise that.
Which leaves me open to play Dr Qu+xum
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Dollis Hill*
so who was everyone?
Well I reckon that Kew Gardens was Chalky, St John's Wood was Inkspot, and Goodge Street was nights.
Goodge Street can't have been nights - he was away for a week. I think Goodge Street was Dunx, Dollis Hill was penelope and Oakwood may have been Botherer.
I was playing but not St. John's Wood.
Strange... I'd have expected more Cluedo-style action than this...
I was playing. But who was I?

I was just getting into this game ! I had a Tuj up my sleep and everything. (Does this mean I'm on 3 moves now ?)
Or 4 ...
Sounds like you've been having a very scarey nightmare. Hope it's not a recurring one.
[Tuj] Correct! I was, indeed, the very St John's Wood who tried so desperately to stop this game before it descended into someone else winning it.
Err..actually, I played 3 moves. Not that it matters....
In that case, results so far...
1. St John's Wood = Darren
Wow, one-nil! And no, [Osterly], Dollih Hill wasn't me. Was it Chalky, I wonder...? And ditto Rosie and Bank?
I wasn't Rosie. I don't think he tends to play MC games.
Should I be guessing in character?
And I was indeed Oakwood, although I did drop a proverbial at one stage.
Tuj] Feel free to do either, or both (if you really wish to obfuscate!)
Scores on the doors:
1. St John's Wood = Darren
2. Oakwood = Botherer
Actually, I'm more curious to know how people identified us, than who we all were!
[Darren] Finding out how the mind of an MC player works *shudders* that is somewhere I'd prefer not to go. *heads for a lie down*
Could Chalky possibly have been Bank?
As a clue to my identity, I'm a fairly rare contributor to MC5, though I believe I actually suggested its name. I'm far more often spotted on Orange & MCiOS.
Not Chalky either - still waiting for her to deny being Kew Gardens.
Old Street] Could you be LotUS?
Might New Cross really turn out to be Inkspot?
Going out on a limb here, but I think that Botherer might also have played as Botherer and Strand (and possibly another station), and Ella as Ella and Barking.
Good guess but not New Cross
Inkspot] What about Kew Gardens?
I thought Mudchute might be Chalky
Nope, not LotUS. More spherical than that.
hello, I'm a young man named nights. boo!
Well, if we're at that stage, I was a young man named Goodge Street.
No not Kew Gardens but Osterly not quite stting the game up propely.
Oh well... if masks are coming off...
1. St John's Wood = Darren
2. Oakwood = Botherer
3. New Cross = nights
4. Goodge Street = Tuj
5. Osterly = Inkspot
6. Bank = Uncle Korky
Old Street] Blob?
London Bridge] Penelope?
* unmasked *
*equally unmasked*
*unmasked ages ago*
*definitely not penelope* So, of the stations who played more than once, that just leaves Tower Hill, Ladbroke Grove and Rayner's Lane to unmask.
The story so far (thanks, folks!):
1. St John's Wood = Darren
2. Oakwood = Botherer
3. New Cross = nights
4. Goodge Street = Tuj
5. Osterly = Inkspot
6. Bank = Uncle Korky
7. Old Street = Blob
8. Dollis Hill = all
9. Kew Gardens = Chalky
10. London Bridge = Irouleguy
I was rather nervous when entering this game as I'm jolly near a first timer. I do play non-MC games, though, and have done for some time. One of my moves was a faux pas, although I like to think of it as a cunning and devious ploy.
One of my moves was a cunning and devious ploy, masquerading as a faux-pas.
[Rayner's Lane] Touché! So, what's it to be good squire, butting goats or balancing ballerinas? . . . I shall meet you at dawn!
I thought I posted twice, but I won't ask for a recount. You'll have worked out that I wasn't Chalky. An occasional poster here, but I have been spotted in 101 Uses...
[Mudchute] Falstaff?
[Tower Hill] Handbags at thirty paces, I fancy. I don't suppose you're Anonymouse, are you?
[Rayner's Lane] Nyet! May I ask you if you are in fact Googolplex the Balancing Goat from Luxemburg (or at least, Googolplex)? ..... Handbags? You tart! Underarm deoderant at 10 metres - that should fix one or other of us (you, if I don't use mine).
Perhaps deodorant might be more reasonable?
Come on, you last few - do the reasonable thing and whip those masks off! You know it makes sense!
Oh, all right. Rayner's Lane - c'est moi. [Tower Hill] Googleplex? GOOGLEPLEX? You're kidding, right? Anyway, I don't mean to be picky (though, somehow, I always manage it) but think you'll find that he is Googleplex the Amazing Balancing Goat from Luxembourg.
It is I, Leclerc! Also known as Robin.
I don't think I played in this game - it wasn't me guv'nor.
aka Tower Hill] As I said, one of my moves was a blunder! Hey, ho.
Thans, folks - I think that about wraps it up!
1. St John's Wood = Darren
2. Oakwood = Botherer
3. New Cross = nights
4. Goodge Street = Tuj
5. Osterly = Inkspot
6. Bank = Uncle Korky
7. Old Street = Blob
8. Dollis Hill = all

10. London Bridge = Irouleguy
11. Rayners Lane = Kim
12. Mudchute = Robin
13. Tower Hill = Dujon
Who was Ladbroke Grove (3 moves)?
(Twatspam removed -- rab)
(and again, *sigh*)
