It would require an interpretation of the 1981 Reyjkavik rules, but I reckon it's possible...

Maybe I could get the ball rolling with a deftly laid White Lane and await your play?

*j* :hihi:

Would Rudyard Square be a legal move?

Halfway, but then stay on the tram!

Maybe someone could explain the rules of Mornington Crescent?

BTW, I knew a group of people from uni who adapted it to Sheffield and called it Endcliffe Crescent. I didn't understand what they were doing though.

I am glad someone else asked for an explanantion - I was confused!

I think all will become clear if I roll a Mangan Half-Twist and lead us all to my favourite toss-winner Cricket Inn Road.

The trick is to avoid all double-spans, they always leave you in spoon...

*j* :suspect:

It's as clear as mud!

Hmm .......... Cricket Inn Road ......... I think I'll have to invoke the 2nd part of the 36 Cantab rules (adapted), and lay a Netherthorpe Road .........

It's as clear as mud!
Thank god you said that!
For a while there I was checking my coffee for illegal substances.

is that move allowed :huh: If so its a clever one, a sort of Rushton Gambit derivative. Can i go Primrose view.

Can't see why it wouldn't be, although I did invoke the Cantab rules. Whose go is it?

Is this like Go Birley Go Go Go Go? :hihi:

what the bleep is this thread on about!

I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue :D

Really ladies, I think you've fained ignorance for long enough. This game has balls, and I'm going to need to respond with a swift but firm Donetsk Way to keep things in check and I think we all know why... :thumbsup:

*j*

Is this some secret society like the masons :suspect:

I'm going to invoke Crabbit's Rule and go for HERDINGS PARK.

I'm going to invoke Crabbit's Rule and go for HERDINGS PARK.

Can you do that on a double oblique :huh:

According to the Tottenham Convention, yes.

Is this like Go Birley Go Go Go Go? :hihi:

:hihi: That was indirectly inspired by this, you know :hihi:

According to the Tottenham Convention, yes.

Clever, very clever.

According to the Tottenham Convention, yes.

not quite, my friend. according to the tottenham convention herdings park is a no no, it should technically be fitzalen square/ponds forge, so ner! :thumbsup:

:mad: not fair!

oh pants....you're right.:(

How stupid of me.

not quite, my friend. according to the tottenham convention herdings park is a no no, it should technically be fitzalen square/ponds forge, so ner! :thumbsup:

Not if he went to Herdings Park/Leighton Road though ...... :thumbsup:

May I take a punt on Shalesmoor? I believe this ought to stand given the 1986 Editorial article in Morninton Cresent Quarterly.

Depends on whether you're going from Donetsk Way or Herdings Park really .......

I'm liking the mangan twist v much but I'm going to do a double shunt from the sidings & go for Hillsborough :hihi:

Could i go up the road behind West Street with a couple of ladies of the night?:confused:

<must avoid the spoon, must avoid the spoon>

Er, ........ Bamforth Street ........

For those who are wondering how you play this game, the answer is .....

...... with great aplomb

Warminster Crescent

Can I just thank Mrs Trellis for the cake?

ptang yang kipperbang errr

I'm going to have to risk being knipped and head for.....

Nunnery Square

Bamforth street is just playable. However using the Maybach's Protocol from the Edinborough Convention (1986) the only worthwhile move is the double hit LANGSETT/PRIMROSE VIEW.

Primrose View has happened and there will be no reversing in this game ........ will there?

Can I just thank Mrs Trellis for the cake?

I'd prefer Samantha ........ what a way to score ;) ......... <ahem>

For those of you like me who have not got a clue what this thread is about. I found this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_(game)) and i'm still non the wiser.

Primrose View has happened and there will be no reversing in this game ........ will there?
Under Maybach's Convention this would be an oblique loop not a reverse. It can only be played once so if anyone else invokes it it does infact become a reverse resulting in a spoon by default, so beware.

But surely Stovolds ruling that the convention must be announced BEFORE the move means that the move is infact a reverse.

This game is for public school boys with nothing to do whilst waiting for their sphincters to recover :rolleyes:

Primrose View has happened and there will be no reversing in this game ........ will there?


Oh no you forgot to check the Didsman ruling before making that move, that means I can play Meadowhall Interchange and put you back to the start !!!

Loser !!!!!

This game is for public school boys with nothing to do whilst waiting for their sphincters to recover :rolleyes:


Sorry to disappoint but the closes i ever went to public school was to beat up the rich kids. Its a bit of fun that because it doesn't include the word SNAP clearly confuses you. Some people revel in the confusion and try to make sense of it (the fun bit)

some get angry because the world is too complex for them. You just need to decide if the world is too much for you.

And by the way:

I move to the depot :thumbsup:

This has made me laugh so much, I'm getting very odd looks at my desk!!

From the depot, surely there is only one move to be made - due to the inverse transfer rule - to Halfway?

Hmmm nice, vey nice. Over to you humph :clap:

You might well be right - although wouldn't employing the spoon convention be acceptable in this situation?

The spoon of destiny...

your signature has reminded me of a very obscure tactical move invented by paolo coelho himself and its called "the alchemist". it involves the fusion of two separate unrelated moves into one move and only under very rare circumstances is it permitted. i think after penny_crayons halfway move that i can do this...so im going to try it...an alchemist on sheffield hallam university (blue line) with nunnery square (yellow line) which should bring me....tarum tara...to meadowhall interchange!!!

ha! :hihi: :love: :loopy: :hihi:

i lay down crystal peaks

Oh flip - I was just about to play Crystal Peaks! I can't go now, I shall have to wait until my next turn!!

Gasps from the audience - it's the Meadowhall Interchange loop! Now what?

Gasps from the audience - it's the Meadowhall Interchange loop! Now what?

Obviously Ponds Forge using the bridge switch rule

can I play a diagonal oblique at Cathedral Square to join the game please?

Obviously Ponds Forge using the bridge switch rule

Ah yes, of course! Nice move.

I've loaded up this game so far into CrescentPro2.1 - I know I shouldn't but I couldn't resist - and it seems to think that a win is possible within the next five moves or so.

But I don't think so. Isn't it nice to have a game where the humans are still much better than the computers? Besides, I don't believe that 2.1 properly supports Cryer's Codicil, in which case it's handling of International Rules has to be suspect. I've tried to report it of course, but the hot-line just left me on hold for thirty minutes, and then put me through to some kid who could hardly speak English - so I gave up.

Still, interesting game, I wonder how it will turn out.

Anyway, I've just received this email from a Mrs Trellis from North Wales. It reads :

'Dear Mr Mandela,

That statue of you in Trafalgar Square looks nothing like you.

Yours

Mrs Trellis'


And so to a move...

I'll counter with 2 greens to go to 'The University' and employ a Lyttleton Convention which I believe puts you in kip!

Which means I'll have to play City Hall

having played a diagonal oblique at Cathedral Square, I think you'll find that playing City Hall to get out of kip puts you quite squarely in Spoon. I thank you.

i'm only a beginner...will everyone laugh at me if i tried infirmary road? i'm sorry, i just find it all a bit overwhelming.:(

good move Baby Chickens!

ill counter with the Cathedral followed by the hammersmith jink

Fantastic move!!! but you didn't see the obvious counter move putting you intoi double spoon................Upperthorpe !!!!

Can I play purple & blue together - which means all other players have to change places?

Fantastic move!!! but you didn't see the obvious counter move putting you intoi double spoon................Upperthorpe !!!!

Since when has Upperthorpe been on the route? Surely you meant a late Rushton Gambit on Hollinsend?????

In an attempt to get out of a double spoon my next move would be:

the catherdral to castle square loop!

Since when has Upperthorpe been on the route? Surely you meant a late Rushton Gambit on Hollinsend?????


Sorry I was getting my upper and nether confusded although I liked your gambit I still think getting out of double spoon from Netherthorpe will be awkward

Sorry I was getting my upper and nether confusded although I liked your gambit I still think getting out of double spoon from Netherthorpe will be awkward

but invoking the interchange principle makes it a straightforward switch

If you are completly lost like me try this to explain!!


When the game was first played it was based on the 1952 pocket A-Z and a simple formula dictating to which pages one could move and to which pages one could not move. The art of the game was to make a move that made it impossible (ideally) to move to one of the pages on which Mornington Crescent appeared on the next move or in three moves time, or even in five moves time (brains of a Grand Master required!) - i.e. to stop the opposition arriving at Mornington Crescent.
Mornington Crescent is a game created and popularized by the BBC Radio 4 programme I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (ISIHAC). Named after the Mornington Crescent tube station, players make moves by announcing the names of stations on the London Underground, the winner being the first to announce "Mornington Crescent".
Spoiler warning: New players may prefer not to read the following explanations.
The game is intended as a parody of complicated strategy games, and particularly satirises the complex rules and terminology that evolve around games such as contract bridge or chess.
The Mornington Crescent tube station is on London's Northern Line between Euston and Camden Town on the Charing Cross Branch. However, if you travel between the same two stations on the City Branch, the station simply isn't there. Now you see it, now you don't. The name is an allusion to the mystery of the game.

ha ha ha - another person who doesn't understand the rules

jamesogt....fool!

you can't play mornington crescent without thoughough knowledge of "NF Stovold’s Mornington Crescent: Rules and Origins. you can get it form the local library or from any good bookstore!

I'm still trying to work out if I can take White Rose's cheeky but neat use of the Alchemist rule & ally it with a double loop near Cathedral or a ricochet by Meadowhall South before waiting to see if Mornington Crescent translates to Sheffield Supertram personally. So far it looks like it does but we've not come close to exploring the closing strategies of the game - this is starting to get very tense!

Malin Bridge in 5 turns - using a double oblique from the Finsbury 88' rules

five turns? Christ - this'll take some doing.

Ok, my first step would be; based upon the classic five move spritz used in the mornington crescent championships of 84, to use a double skip entendre, followed by an oblique (my signature move), to (and this is the good bit), Hallamshire hospital. Think about it.

you sir, are a legend!

Touche mein leibchen !! but you forgot one thing Woodburn Rd!!!! :thumbsup: Your move

I think it's high time we had a quantum de-railing, taking us straight to Piccadilly Gardens. Ha!

Don't let me stop you getting them confused if it gives you any pleasure ...... ;) :hihi:

Penny-crayon that's a dastardly move & it may even be cheating!!!

Woodburn Road was an impressive manoever but the 5 move spritz - that was something else :cool:

Touche mein leibchen !! but you forgot one thing Woodburn Rd!!!! :thumbsup: Your move

Not bad, not bad at all! Can I invoke the 36 Cantab rules again, or do I need a different convention? If I can I'll turn the reverse to a lateral bridge to take me to Manor Top/Elm Tree.

ok.... i have this move to make it to Malin Bridge....

from Manor Top/Elm Tree, diagonal oblique (as always), invoke a standard flip-side access followed by a Williamson's drift (modern variation) which should, in theory, bring me to Malin Bridge.


Nope - my mistake. I can only use the Williamson's drift as far as University. Bugger.

I'm sorry people, but I have consulted the Penguin keepers yearbook, am assuming the Gruntfuttock stance, with womb broom in hand, donning the hard-hat of Ishmar and closing the Southern spur as of now, owing to health and safety issues, hope this doesn't detract from your fun..

damn....it seems i need practice at this. Playing with pro's here it would appear!

Using "NF Stovold’s Mornington Crescent: Rules and Origins" page 232, rule 12.8.2.b, i can transverse directly from Elm Tree, which would place me at University while putting you sir, in Kip

I'm not quite sure of my next move. I'm in kip, at university, with Shuwarrior. hmm....

Gentlemen, excuse my absence since the first few moves, I was catching up with Samantha over a cup of coffee. She had to run off, as she's off to meet her Italian gentleman friend who's taking her out for an ice cream. She says she likes nothing better than to spend the evening licking the nuts off a large Neopolitan...

I resume play with a lightly dealt Stein-Stmmer that brings us to Lappings Lane. Proceed very carefully, we don't want this to end up like the Leicester Semi-Finals...

*j*

PS... oh, and sorry I've been hogging that copy of NF Stovold’s manual. I'll be dropping it off at the central library this weekend, I promise.

you missed a very close run on five turns to Malin Bridge. Sven's here.

hm...according to Schuster's Punctuation Loop, that would take you back to hillsborough but in doing so, remove eeryone in the game from Kip?

now we dont want a repeat of the Chalk Farm '84 disaster!

I resume play with a lightly dealt Stein-Stmmer that brings us to Lappings Lane. Proceed very carefully, we don't want this to end up like the Leicester Semi-Finals...

.

Bad spelling of a destination!! ...........straight into KIP i believe... and I play Herdings Park

Penny-crayon that's a dastardly move & it may even be cheating!!!


Spoilsport :P

I'm still in kip. :(

Radio 4 elitist snobs - the lot of ya!

radio 4?

:hihi:

Radio 4 elitist snobs - the lot of ya!


You'll be stuck for a move I take it??

I'm waiting for the right move to come along to get me out of kip at the university. come on everyone, get on with it.

We're going to have to call you Humphrey now - class :hihi:

I'm still in kip. :(

"schusters punctuation loop" removed evryone in play from "kip" pook, so you're ok.

Ahh still playing and who missed the 5 mover awhile back? Anyway, where are we ... hmmn Herdings again, well using the Noddy Holder slip (I know it's never normally played in Sheffield but under the Tottenham convention is still allowable - yes I checked) I move straight to Valley Centertainment

returning strongly from kip, i'm gonna use the Koi Moratorium to force spoon on the last five movers - and drop me happily at Cricket Inn Road.

ooh I'm back with bells on.

Thank the Lord for that. I'll take your Koi Moratorium and annul it with a Half Williamson. That frees my better arm to deal you a neat little Granville Road / Sheffield College

Oh, and Samantha called. Apparently this new fella's an avid collector of rare beetles. She says he has an incredible Longhorn which he's keeping in a shoebox for her. He told her that if you tickle it it jumps out half way across the table...

*j*

am i back in kip again now then?
:(

You're out in 3 moves because the last one was a double. However, that won't stop me from making a single slide to Valley Centretainment


edit: Samanthas Longhorn must be the short ankled strain. The others are blue.

sweet. I'll just wait for one of the loops to get me out then. Might even make a cuppa
:)

There is obviously sufficient demand (and accomplished players) here in Sheffield for a team to be established at Timo's Central University, where a diploma course may be offered to those interested.

Incidentally Samantha has been selected to represent this country in the pan European Competitive Bee keeping championships this September. She has been collecting bees for some time and now has over three dozen. I read that for the right sum, she will gladly show off her 38 bees. What a splendid example of private enterprise.

I'm going to take this next one in hand and offer a free go to the next player who can transverse onto the sidings at Nunnery Square Park And Ride. Who's up for the challenge!?


*gasps*

I thought i had grasped it early on, but its now as clear as mud

I'm going to take this next one in hand and offer a free go to the next player who can transverse onto the sidings at Nunnery Square Park And Ride. Who's up for the challenge!?

Pif, the answer's in the question... just rotate through 180 degrees (metaphorically of course, one doesn't want to break any rules) and double back to Woodburn Road using the loop through the depot. Ha, you're a smart one, but don't think you can outfool us oldies...

*j*

PS... I hope you've finished your tea and biscuits Pook, that brings you back into play... :thumbsup:

I thought i had grasped it early on, but its now as clear as mud

That's probably because we're playing the Jan Wilson Presbyterian Variation.

There used to be a copy of the rules somewhere on the Council's website. I'm Sorry I Don't Have a Link but you can probably find it somewhere if you search.

Excellent. Let's think then. Cricket inn road puts me close to the depot, which if i choose a slant to follow your slide should bring me towards ponds forge. Not a graceful move i know, but i've been in kip for a while.



pook

PS: we are still playing for Malin Bridge aren't we?

There used to be a copy of the rules somewhere on the Council's website. I'm Sorry I Don't Have a Link but you can probably find it somewhere if you search.

Like I said, I'll get Stromvold's seminal second edition back to the library this weekend.

Not a graceful move i know, but i've been in kip for a while.

I actually found it rather elegant... reminiscent of a double turnpike I played at the Milton Keynes Amateur meet-up last autumn...

PS: we are still playing for Malin Bridge aren't we?

Dear oh dear, When was life ever about goals?

I've hogged the game for a while, so here's a basic but ever faithful double-ace to move us swiftly on to City Hall and now I'm off for my tea.

*j*

As there is no Mornington Crescent on the Sheffield Supertram network, isn't this exercise somewhat pointless because we're trying to reach somewhere that doesn't exist in Sheffield spacetime.

hence us playing for Malin Bridge.

That's neater than you think Pook, although it is a little like watching an eagle skipping the double dutch.

If I can be so bold as to jump on between stops using the revision allowed in the 1969 Summer of Love Meeting (small but deadly ;)) I can displace your slant right out towards Shalesmoor.

(I might have missed it, but are we allowing Park and Ride between stops? I assume that taxi's are out, but surely Park and Ride can be allowed in the Socialist Republic? )

not in the Jan Wilson Presbytarian version I'm afraid. I'm going to suggest an audacious move, to potentially bring the game to a close.

coming at your shalesmoor from ponds forge, one would need to go via hillsborough, then through a dead end.

I suggest a traversed inverse roll, with a jenson mirror which should, fingers crossed, and having consulted all relevant reference material, under the current code and in agreement with my peers bring me roundly to.....

Malin Bridge. Our final destination! :)

Damn I certainly never saw that coming!!!! :o

Well done Pook! A worthy winner by the looks of that last inversion! Utterly monumental.


Are we all in agreement?

i think thats gotta hand the game to Pook?

edit: yup....defo one for pook!

I suggest a traversed inverse roll, with a jenson mirror which should, fingers crossed, and having consulted all relevant reference material, under the current code and in agreement with my peers bring me roundly to.....

I dropped my breaded cod when I saw that... Not meaning to steal your thunder, but I just want to check if that's left jenson mirror or a right jenson mirror?

*j*

Oh i wasn't playing i just want some action:hihi: :hihi:

Oi, it's not our fault tha dun't get any... :P

I dropped my breaded cod when I saw that... Not meaning to steal your thunder, but I just want to check if that's left jenson mirror or a right jenson mirror?

*j*

well bearing in mind the move was from shalesmoor to Malin Bridge, you'd assume it being a left jenson mirror, however, with it being an inverse move, 'twas a right jenson mirror deployed.

I've loaded up this game so far into CrescentPro2.1 - I know I shouldn't but I couldn't resist - and it seems to think that a win is possible within the next five moves or so.

im with ya tone. utterly incredible pook, ive not seen anything like that since the bradford and bingley finals in '74. superb! :thumbsup:

Ah, explanation gladly received. Not often you see that little darling played so sweetly. Buy that man a pint...

Until next time, gentlemen...

*j*

It was the pesky inversion that did it! An inspired piece of mental agility. One of the best moves I've seen since Tuesday.

Quite a comeback too!

A good game played in the right manner with no arguements over KIP restrictions or single/double spoon laydowns, well done to all

All your thanks are kindly received gentlemen.
What to do now though?

I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.


til next time gents and ladies.

How many expert players do we have?

If we have more than 4 we can use the Lake Como '23 rulebook as the basis for FASOSOC. They proved to be safe even near a large body of water due to Swiss neutrality.

Obviously, we wouldn't play it near Lake Victoria... obviously!

Sounds good to me, count me in. I'll go down JJB sports tonight and get some grade 4 cleaning solvent and polish my eyeballs up for the contest.

The Lake Como rules are quite tame so we'll not be needing any body armour:thumbsup:

Have you tried the import grade 7? It's got kanuia wax in it. You'll have to send off for it though, JJB don't stock it.

Rules (i think):

I assume you will be using safety screens as there may be amateurs tempted to play, who don't fully realise the dangers involved?

Well it is the online game we're going to play, but yes, there are inherent dangers that shouldn't be ignored (retinal disconfabulation for one) . I've only played within the confines of a squash court before and never been involved in the organisation of a tournament.

Perhaps one our number has experience of stewarding the online game and can advise?

very interesting. I would have thought Siân would have won, a couple of pages ago with her Meadowhall South, (seeing as the equivalent, strongest destination to play, in MC was Aldwych East)

My logis (if there can be logic in MC) we do have other destinations with compass point(s) in the name, such as WEST ST and WESTFIELD, but not in the same configuration as the above.

PT, you've just interrupted the First Annual Sheffield Online Staring Out Championship (online version under FASOSOC rules).

We've been playing this since July without a blink from anyone.

Please don't distract anyone now - it could be fatal at this stage of the game! :nono:

Ill go for a Hag hill on this one but i said before im not playing>lol<
