Mornington Crescent

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

Player One, Turn 2.5-3
Starting Position: Knightsbridge
Current Objective: Mornington Crescent
Current Possessions: Strings: 'call icy dip', 'out, over, under' | Other: His Holiness The Reverend Doctor Saint Father Soft III the lucky cat, magic mirror (left half), one skate key, one Persian rug, six pounds, one euro, a Blank Check, Complimentary Gift Kumquat (Imported)
Current Status: possessed by the spirit of Martin Luther; entitled to the Pillars zakkat and fasting, darkly chocolatey

Movement:

1) Piccadilly Line, Westbound, Knightsbridge -> South Kensington

2) At South Kensington, I forcibly separate myself from the spirit of Martin Luther by confronting him about Antisemitism (88.1 invisible ink) and use this momentum to briefly transfer onto the Circle Line and then back onto the Piccadilly Line, causing the station personnel to be Bamboozled and earning myself a free move to Gloucester Road.

3) At Gloucester Road I pitch a fit, and spend my one euro on a further move to Earl's Court.

Other Actions:

I) The S'chism Tango having been resolved by a change in my turn order relative to jalapeno (see all pages referenced in index under "Lehrer Maneuver"), I move my Pillars safely to my inventory.

II) I shake my fist at everyone who owes me a jar of coconut oil, although lacking any definitive way to determine your salmon eating habits this turns into yelling at clouds. The clouds become agitated.

Ending Location: Earl's Court
Ending Possessions: Strings: 'call icy dip', 'out, over, under' | Other: His Holiness The Reverend Doctor Saint Father Soft III the lucky cat, magic mirror (left half), one skate key, one Persian rug, six pounds, a Blank Check, Complimentary Gift Kumquat (Imported), zakkat, fasting,
Ending Status: antagonistic with clouds

[Here is the current Turn Order, in case it's not clear:]

1. pistachi0n
2. jalapeno_dude
3. Nemo Consequentiæ
4. Lambda
5. Alicorn [just taken, though technically, as Alicorn noted, it was the spot of Player One of Turn 2.5-3, since Lambda was Player Five of Turn Two]
6. AndaisQ [up now, Player Six of Turn Two (due to mnemosynoid's forced vacation of the spot and the Nature Abhors a Vacuum Clause (Aminev 3.7))]

Player Two, Turn Three
Starting Position: Seven Sisters
Current Objective: Mornington Crescent
Current Possessions: Baggage Label
Time: Dusk

Movement

1. Victoria Line, Northbound, Seven Sisters -> Bruce Grove -> White Hart Lane -> Silver Street -> Edmonton Green

2. At the Edmonton Green station, I stop for a snack. I finally get rid of my baggage label by trading it for a piece of toast. Before I can eat my piece of toast, an old man tells me that he is starving and will teleport me anywhere I want in exchange for my piece of toast.

3. I ask him to teleport me to Mornington Crescent, but he is hard of hearing and I end up at Upminster.

Ending Location: Upminster
Ending time: Dark

If you and andaisq agreed to a Do-Si-Do you have to announce that when you take your turn, pistachi0n. Or are you doing something else?

I haven't agreed to anything of that nature in this timeline, at least. If you're taking a turn retroactively you still have to announce it, though.

I did not agree to a Do-Si-Do, but I am up for the challenge if we are headed in that direction.

The issue is that it was my turn and you posted yours instead, which would seem to indicate either complex political maneuvering or temporal shenanigans, either of which would have required a prior announcement.

Oh!!! I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention, I saw Alicorn had made a move and assumed it was my turn.

Would you like me to delete it, copy it, and post it when it really is my turn?

I'd rather 'play it as it lies' (appendix F, Resolving Breaches); AndaisQ would select a penalty from table 44.13 (excluding the Extended penalties, since the error was caught immediately) to impose on pistachi0n, and play would continue with AndaisQ as Player Seven of Turn Two.

This is now a Proposed Resolution (F.12.vii); as I am automatically Favoring it, it may be adopted by AndaisQ or by the Favor of any two other players excluding pistachi0n and myself.

I favor, choosing the Backswing reward; shall I play my turn immediately?
