Mornington Crescent Sign-Up Thread

**Heath** · 07-20-2008, 07:39 PM

I think there's been a lot of Mafia games going on lately so I figured that it'd be nice to try something new. I think Mornington Crescent is the perfect game to play on EoFF because it's challenging, mentally stimulating and thoroughly unique. First of all, I'd like anyone who knows how to play Mornington Crescent to ensure that if they know how to play, to remain thoroughly in the spirit of the game and to play it properly. Let's not spoil it for other people. There'll be no discussion of the rules in this thread. The only real way to get to grips with the game is by playing it. ~~I'll allow sign-ups until 12pm on Wednesday (GMT).~~

Edit: May have slightly underestimated demand, so we'll look at keeping sign-ups open until we have sixteen contenders otherwise I think it might be too crowded.

We'll use this thread for signing up and we'll want a decent number of people to take part. Probably eight or more would be enough. It's usually played with only four people, but I'm sure it can easily be adapted. Before the game gets under way, I'll explain fully what variations and rules we'll be using. I know that our very own Psychotic is a strong believer in the Liverpool Variation:

This variation is more refined than the regular game, having been imported from London by stokers on the great steam cargo ships of the Industrial Revolution. When a player is Stymied by his immediate opponent, this is known as Mating, and when a player’s route is blocked, this is known as Docking. If a player is both Mated and Docked, then he is in Heseltine, and forced to miss a turn.

But I think in order to give people a proper chance, we'll avoid those rules for reasons that should be perfectly obvious to everyone. I think the best way to explain the game to you is simply by playing it. I'm also warning you now that if I see any of you even trying to use Thornton’s Controversial 3rd Amendment, I'll call the game off immediately.

How much time investment will this take?

**Heath** · 07-20-2008, 07:50 PM

Probably not too long. It depends how the game goes. I shouldn't imagine it should take any more than a few days and players can dip in and take moves as they like within reason, otherwise it'd be too difficult to co-ordinate.
