A Friendly Game of Winchester Cathedral

Thread Games
1

This is a friendly public game using the traditional rules, available extensively online. There will be no mugginses or fake accents. I will use a traditional opening.

There must be some way out of here. Said the joker to the thief.

Since the traditional opening, Hasselhov variation involves two moves, the second play follows.

Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga.

Maybe they are, but I sure can’t find them. Winchester Cathedral itself, yes. Depiction of some game at Winchester Cathedral, yes. Winchester Cathedral version of Monopoly, yes. Song about Winchester Cathedral, yes. Miscellaneous word salad ad about rules for playing something just called Cathedral, yes. Whatever this game is, which I’ve read some of a previous thread about with considerable bemusement, no.

Is the lack of rules part of the game? Or is either google or my googlefu just broken? (It might be Google, which seems to be entirely ignoring quotation marks and advanced search for particular phrase.)

Mornington Crescent, I think of you.

I hope this is not getting you down.

Nope. Calvinball is fun.

[Moderating]

If I’m not mistaken, under the 2019 revision to the rules as posted at Wittenburg, I’m entitled to move this to Thread Games.

I enter a plea of I thought I did that already. Accordingly, by the recent amendments of the 2nd Acapulco Convention:

I’m very very sorry that I stole your precious flag.
Just use the proper forum, you dirty scalliwag.

That’s 30.

I’m going to do a lateral move here to widen the playing field

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night

Let’s see if I remember how this works…this is the fourth post after a moderation note, so that means I can’t cite any Norwegian Death Metal lyrics. Hmm…this is deceptively challenging. Oh, I know:
When I got to the garden party
They all knew my name
No one recognized me
I didn’t look the same
