RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted March 29, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2017 The Stovipedia website has been updated this morning to state that for only the 2nd time in history, the Worshipful Company of Merrymakers will meet in full session. Regular players of the game will recall that in Jan1945 a full session was called to discuss how the game should be played at the end of the Great Unpleasantness so there is precedent. All rules and innovations since 1973 will be subject to scrutiny, and two years hence any such changes may find themselves repealed. The arch-Taosich of York and the 4th Moderator of Webness have reminded the Worshipful Company of the need to avoid internal politics. In accordance with these wishes The Grand Vizier Of The Stove has taken an executive decision that may dismay traditional members who still play by correspondence. Any game still in progress at the deadline will automatically become null and void. This decision avoids the needs for ANY political discussion but is bound to upset some members who have been corresponding by telegram since before the Coal and Steel Union, the 5th Republic, and even the first attempt to beatify Stephen Fry. The Grand Vizier believes that no telegrams have been exchanged for some time so is sure things can indeed be settled in the space of 2 years. Sam and Sven both believe they may have to find new partners when the two years have elapsed, but feel they have plenty of time to vet suitable contacts.

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted March 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2017 Oh my goodness. Such things are seldom heard of.

DavidB-AU Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 And we've had a letter from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales. She writes, "Dear Sir Steve, I'm looking forward to seeing Oxford and Cambridge rowing this weekend. I do like a good argument."In response I make a half strile to Hanger Lane.

Jamiel Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Friday afternoon, and P.O.E.T.S. is definitely setting in, so time for a desperate move to keep me awake.MILE ENDAs Stovolds says: 'millennium variationA variation popular at the last millennium. Surprisingly, the game in the time of King Ethelred the Unready was little different from today’s Ancient Standard Rules, so as you would imagine the Reverse Diagonal was seldom applied in consecutive play. However locations East of Shoreditch were liable to incur the infamous Danegeld Penalty.'I'm just hoping I won't incur such a penalty in the modern game.
