Damnation!!! I'm still on New Zealand time! No excuses though, Edmonton et al are pretty clear on ths. This will dreadfully upset my strategy.

Wyoming Rock Man? I have yet to read an assertion in any set of rules that a player’s place name has to be high-lighted. I have some considerable background in the somewhat disreputable “Gilligan rules, with Essex procedures” you so cavalierly foisted upon this group of rubes.
I must proclaim myself a wronged innocent & there was no foul on my part, since I clearly named a new place in my post.
However, Cosmic has committed the worst foul possible by using a place name twice with his repeated naming of a Sea-Tac eatery. It makes it difficult for me even to participate in what has turned into a gutter-snipe version of this once fine game.
The Shame!
Speaking of shame:
Is Club Sinrock still open?

Let's not get our knickers in a twist here folks, this is a friendly game. Until that time where a reckoning is declared all rules require forbearance.
A simple solution would require a maladjustment of edict 23 and that is so unnecessary this early in the game.
Fritz' inspiring play could result in a visit to
Muckleshoot Bingo hall.

No Reilly, I've been huffing paint all day. I still think it is Sunday.

I think I've served my time. Barnstable & Wallopton would suggest three and this is more than. Easterly is the drive for my revitalized attack!

Nice play Winem! B&W would be proud to see the path (aka the couch cushion flexed flip) executed in such a shocking manner. Having the south covered and now moving east, I’d caution the others to consider a northerly block post haste.
Personally I think lobbing far east is a resting move, to subvert rule 62, dealing with intentional delay.
Kind of the “whatevs” type of play I’ve come to expect from you. Or not.
Have to slow that roll and use the double back pause to catch our collective breath. Better stop at
Rhodies BBQ.
The W-W team is congealing. Fritz, we should consider letting bygones be bygones and join forces. I was in error and deeply regret my accusation.

Wyoming Rock Man! Re your kindly apology: Fritz, we should consider letting bygones be bygones and join forces. I was in error and deeply regret my accusation.
This is truly a moment that would have warmed old Pleeble’s gnarled heart. It's sad he suffered a seizure & died during that epic 1961 British-Russian match, which likely ended the threat of Kennedy & Khrushchev starting WWIII, when the Russians joined arms with the Brits in mourning Pleeble's untimely demise.
The world suddenly seemed worth saving from nuclear warfare. The match was declared a draw & a huge celebration of international brotherhood saved the day for mankind.
My apology for my dastardly attack on your chosen set of rules, & your sincere apology is of course accepted. I have a warm-spot in my head for Geologists.
I can only further add: Ivar's at Sea-Tac.

So. Wyo and Fritz, soon to be known as 'The Writz Brothers'. Damn your partnered hides! Still, are you aware that 'Zkarznies' Imperative' implies an automatic double, nulling ALL automatic gambits unless a quorum has been obtained AND Parallax Inversions are not active? Good God men, think about this!! The consequences!
Automatic doubling at this point? Where will the Astrolabatic Excesses go? Right up your alley is the most likely avenue. And with good reason!
Toby's Tavern, Whidbey Island. Keeping the west clear.
Ha!

May I ask justification, Cosmic, for the sudden swerve toward raw fish? Is it Plimton's Debacle, Thompson's Avant Garde, or something more sinister such as the Egyptian attempt to overthrow Douglas vs Malstrom in 1907? As you are well aware, none of these amateurish attempts succeeded (though the Egyptians were too close, in my humble opinion).
To the north then, The Spot Too. Watch out for female pool hustlers.
Unless I'm mistaken, that clears both the west AND the north. Despair my friends, despair!

Cosmic! Re your pick of Willow Creek in Boise. I commend your gud taste, it is a favorite spot for Heidi & me.
Unfortunately, I must invoke Splatski's ploy, since when we last tried to eat there on New Years Day this year, they were closed, which of course invalidates your pick.
However, you do not lose a play, you just need to pick another destination.
I haven't been to a Seattle Strip club for about 25 years, but I still have fond memories of Deja Vue at Sea-Tac.

Cosmic, if the rules don't allow it they proscribe it, hence the need to clearly enunciate the justification. I agree that Plimton's Debacle is some justification, but seriously, a FULL justification? I think not. I am aware that you are a newbie to this game but still, one must grow with the passing. And I pass us on (defending the south now, as you are fully aware) to
The Yardarm Pub, Des Moines. Not Iowa.

Yes, but we're more concerned with where we're going, not where you're going, if you catch my drift. Bon voyage.

Sadly, just like Chess & Bull-fighting, not everyone who is drawn to this game can appreciate the arcane rules, the convoluted history, the risk, & the rich, but depraved cultures they pretend to represent.

By the way winemaker, you did not name a place in your last post. I believe you have lost another turn.

Winers can call exemptions from restrictions, implied or denied. Even Pleebles hesitatingly demurred. I heartily engage the eastward inclinations and the wine. Gotta love the wine.

I actually prefer a Barbaresco.

This talk of sushi is brilliant!
I’m invoking Slickity and catching the ferry to Umami in Bremerton.
I figure the closer to the ocean, the better the sushi. Nawmean.
Slickity is clearly outlined in the obscure historic collection of JW Bearing that was released to the public last week. A 25,000 page tome of 19th century matches. Of course with the 1907 texts being the earliest certified for international play, there will be doubters to the authenticity and provenance to the Bearing texts. Insiders are saying it is likely the Bearing Protocol will be in full effect for the fall finals. I say we get used to it like the metric system. This is uncharted territory gents.

Today is actually Sunday, I believe. My exclusion yesterday was warranted, I confess, and I hope to redeem myself in play later this afternoon after a good conditioning hike; get the brain cells oxygenated, don't you know.
I wish Cosmic a happy voyage and am sorry he took himself out of the game, especially as the news re the JW Bearing papers has just arrived. Still, I wonder if they are authentic? Didn't the same sort of announcement occur JUST prior to the mid-game of the 1949 Cuban Championship and didn't that announcement cause the Revision (during play!)? Having said that,
Fultano's Pizza, Cannon Beach
I do remind lurkers that admission to the Game is allowed at any time, per Graves' Edict.

OREGON?? You moved us south to Oregon, after I laid it on the line to block a move to Idaho?
I'm starting north again, to the Bridgewater Bistro in Astoria!
(Nice view too.)

Well 'Writz' SOMEONE has to make some rational moves for a change. God knows the Writz Brothers can't seem to get their head out of their arse. I've been feeling you out for a while and think I understand your (poor) mode of play. It's TIME for the blinders to be pulled from you disbelieving eyes and show you how The Game really should and can be played.
Cosmic had some good basic instincts in his play, as did Ben, though both seem to be frightened of real play. Ben jumped in and got Nag's Head open, although Barnam's Analysis soon showed the error of his ways re rule interpretation. If Ben had solidified that Nag's Head opening we might have been, to coin a phrase, 'toast'.
So, Writz Brothers, the Game IS afoot! Double Scrumbo to
Henry's 12th Street, Portland.
Yes, I am enforcing the southern route. Do you worst (which is probably your best, if you catch my drift). That's all she wrote and she was writ by Wino. Ha ha ha ha ha.

I still say it is Sunday. The paint finally wore off and I'm ready to go. The house is almost ready to sell and I can go live in the sticks. Ted Nugent donated a new police canine to the Ferry County Sheriff. What a guy.
