Baker Street Game

This is just the last 40 moves. You can see more moves, or the whole game.

The current state of play is:

• Alasdair: This may sound silly, but I feel a little out of my depth...I was started on the full version, and graduated to Multi-dimensional MC (great fun, but vunerable to changes in the price of Brent Crude). Anyway, I shall hope for the best... (move #19)
• Alasdair: Performing an elegant triple sided bi-axial sweep with two pikes and a haddock...Hammersmith. (move #20)
• : (move #21)
• Dave: Are triple bi-axial sweeps allowed in this version of the game? Referee? (move #22)
• Ian H: Gooo Goo Ga Ga - Ian not understand what a triple sided bi-axiiearhjlyji ............ erm a com-pli-cat-ed move is?!? Can you explain mr referee please. (move #23)
• Saggy: Covent Garden, mate. (move #24)
• Alasdair: Just to justify my last move. Basically, you pick up the engine in your left hand, wave it in an elegant anticlockwise figure of eight, and put it down when the guards van falls off. Hence the Haddock. Sorry if I confused you, as I said, I'm a newcomer to this version. (move #25)
• Ian H: Thats not very nice.... im telling my mummy on you!!! ....... hammersmith (move #26)
• Dave: I'll have to shunt back to Covent Garden - I think I left my dummy there. (move #27)
• Doug: Dollis Hill^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H(oops) I meant Hammersmith. And I'm giving Formal Notice that I need to go wee-wee. Soon. (move #28)
• Ian H: you only just stopped yourself in time there, a little bit further down the line to Dollis HIll^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H and we would have had Baker ST for suer, all things considered then i play Covent Garden (Shunt Move) (move #29)
• Steve: I can foresee al sorts unforseen of problems with this game, especially if I invoke an increase in Becks coefficient of 0.2 by playing Colliers Wood. (move #30)
• Alasdair: What Problems? (move #31)
• Ian H: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!!!! No sorry Coliers wood is simply not allowed, the piece wasnt even included in the Baker St set. (available from fisherprice apparently), so Becks remains as it was and steve is banned from shunt moves for 5 goes and also sent to bed with no supper (move #32)
• Steve: How silly of me I forgot we were playing Baker Street, I humbly beg for forgiveness. (move #33)
• Nic/Clauss: West Ham. I've been sat at this terminal for hours, and I'm developing a food fixation. (move #34)
• Alasdair: Well, at least Steve was right in his prediction of unforseen problems. Anyway, back to the game. Hammersmith via underneath the sideboard. (move #35)
• Doug: Hammersmith again. Again. Again. I still need to go wee-wee, and having submitted Formal Notice, I hereby give Formal Desperate Whimper. (move #36)
• Ian H: NZZZT yes West Ham was definitley illegal too (move #37)
• Ian H: But Anyway , whilst we are waiting Covent Garden, Doug you are excused and can go wee-wee if you want, i suggest the underpass at hammersmith cos it always stinks of piss anyway. (move #38)
• Nic: Why was West Ham illegal? (move #39)
• Alasdair: Becks didn't change, because Steve's move was illegal. (move #40)
• NIc: Of course, how silly of me to forget! (move #41)
• hilda: a double triangulation down from swiss cottage (move #42)
• Ian H: is swiss cottage a move?? (move #43)
• Ian H: if so then BZZZZTTT!!!! How many times do we have to explain, in a baker street game the only legal moves are Hammersmith, Covent garden, West Ham and finally Baker street which is the objective (move #44)
• Ian H: if so then BZZZZTTT!!!! How many times do we have to explain, in a baker street game the only legal moves are Hammersmith, Covent garden, West Ham and finally Baker street which is the objective (move #45)
• Ian H: obviously swiss cottage would therefore be illegal (move #46)
• Alasdair: To leap to hilda's defence, her move was a double triangulation from Swiss Cottage, not to it. This, quite obviously, means that she has moved to Hammersmith. I continue with West Ham, up the stairs and into the study. (move #47)
• Ian H: Sorry hilda i hadnt quite understood the true nature of the move, anyhow it matters not now, Covent garden to get us back on track. (move #48)
• Nic: Hammersmith (move #49)
• hilda: ian ,it eas my mistake..I was playing a disguised blanket-move as seen rarely now as a night raid on Baker Street but it didn't pay off ....anyway nic i'm going to hop boyishly down to West Ham ,stopping any possible move to B>S.hahaha (move #50)
• jimbo: i'm joining yer game an i've never played it before. in fact i have no idea what i'm doin, but here goes... BAKER STREET (move #51)
• Alasdair: That's never legal, surely? (move #52)
• Steve: No that can't be legal but taking the illegal move into account I can play Baker Street and hence I could say Mornington Crescent
