Tillamook Cheese indeed Wyo. Has it occurred to you that the reason I started this Game when I did, as well as used the Gilligan Rules, Duffer mode, were all driven by my knowledge of the Blue Moon? Is it coincidence that the last Blue Moon of such magnitude occurred in 1866, EXACTLY 152 years ago? Is it coincidence that the sum of the digits of 152 = 8, and that 8 = 2˛ X 2? No, simply careful planning on my part and a careful reading of Noxion's 'Vertibulations'. The trap is ready to spring, you have no more options!

So, apparently this ‘game’ is a redux of Groundhog Day. SWEET!

Hey Wayno, did, thanks. Plans have changed, I'll email later. Problems caused by the Blue Moon interference and the pretty much implosion re winemakers here in the Mighty Yakima Valley. Haven't had time to plan many moves after the Moon debacle and retreat, but, as Fudd's First Law of Opposition states 'If you push it hard it WILL fall over'. And Reilly, stop lurking and play, man.

Fair enough. It sounded good on paper. My situation here is unpredictable at best. I'm coming to the end of a long transition period and I just want it over. I want to be at my new home, do some work around the house and then walk down to town and have a beer with the local folks at
Republic Brewery
I am still in Seattle where I have had a good run but I no longer want to be here for several reasons. This thread reminds me that there are some good things about living in or near a big city but I'm really quite done here.

But I forgot to pay my annual dues. Request for waiver due to lack of actual play over, well, my lifetime.
Are we still playing for British pounds or American dollars? Presumably we're keeping it interesting.

Munge, Munge, Munge..... We play for the thrill of the chase, the sport, the intellectual agitation, and the occasional beer, but not money. Simply follow the rules and play fairly and you'll not dishonor yourself. Having said that, we need specificity man, specificity, so we can judge the direction and the consequences. I think it's reset time, per Hogan's Limpet:

Ah Fritz, you old curmudgeon you! I can't believe we haven't gotten there yet. I've tried to help you novices ..... but you just won't follow Nerderland's sage advice, so one last attempt....
On the basis that the Blue Moon is past AND the north is no longer protected per Adamsen, I suggest a quick Mondusky Reverse, apply a double and then, yes, it's so obvious I won't insult your intelligence, hence
The Pike Brewing Company and a rounder!
Your play gentlemen and ladies, to the finish! I believe I have you all now!

Winemaker! I sigh for you old boy, since it strongly appears you have forgotten one of the primary rules of Mornington Crescent.
Pleebles, in his classic “Pleebles on Mornington,” clearly states:
Should a lapse in play, not called for by the initiator of a game, last for more than 10 days, the game shall be considered over, terminated, & ended & considered a draw.
I called for a sabatical for myself back on Feb 1, but you, Winemaker, did not offer to stop the game & never played again until today.
Sorry, but it's clearly over, under the rules that matter.
Of course, since more than three weeks have gone by since the last legal play in this game, it is of course perfectly alright to start a new game.

Yes, yes, true except that Rule 34.6, Sub section B states that "Le roi est mort, longue vie au roi" and, as the King has in fact NOT died, the lapsed time rule is invalid in this instance. Please refer to Kronsky's in 'The Game, action ou vérité'. Still, there is some foul work afoot and I intend to mitigate it.

Winemaker? Per your posting of arcane rules, unknown to me, that I can not find on the internet:
Yes, yes, true except that Rule 34.6, Sub section B states that "Le roi est mort, longue vie au roi" and, as the King has in fact NOT died, the lapsed time rule is invalid in this instance.

All I can retort is: Mount Bachelor.

So Tami, looks like Blaine to me; a powerful move, I must say - heading for the Canadian North are we?. I'm going with the chicken flow and propound an extension to nudge the game further, although I do have my doubts. It may be too early but the south seems shut.

Binning the Peebles and switching to Crawford ’64 precedent. Double bumping to the ether a la Kinstone rule #29. It’s pretty much over now gents.

So Wyo, lurking out in the woods or something are you? Fortunately the hiatus has cleared the cobwebs from by feeble brain case and allowed me to formulate a plan. A devious and tricky plan based on, as will soon be obvious, the Hesse Inversion, or as the Germans say "Was ist los Cowboy?"

Gentlemen! And I use that word with reservations.
The previous game has clearly ended, per the rules I quoted upthread.
Pleebles, in his classic “Pleebles on Mornington,” states
Should a lapse in play, not called for by the initiator of a game, last for more than 10 days, the game shall be considered over, terminated, & ended & considered a draw.
It's a draw & all contestants have an honorable finish!
With the new ST, it's obviously time for a new round of Mornington Crescent!
I'll start. Standard Gilligan monitoring, then Duffer's rules apply after the third move, and I call no diagonals. However, we are now playing Johnson's revised 2017 internet digital rules, & a photo you took must be submitted with your entry.

No. No, no, and no.
The rules -- all versions -- clearly state that: "Disguised movement toward Powell River is ungentlemanly, and must always be considered poor play."
Port Townsend Ferry, my ass. You are clearly positioning yourself for a short move to Port Angeles, and thence to Victoria. The only purpose of which is...
Well, I'll not glorify the remaining details of your cheap ploy by laying them out here, but there is no doubt that, should you be left to accomplish it unchallenged, you would end up upon my doorstep...
...hmmmmm...
Perhaps it is I who am being ungentlemanly. Or at least presumptuous.
How much wine were you intending to bring?
