[Mogs]

due to lack of interest, I've decided to go Rollerskating instead.

Definate, meet next Wednesday at the Plough, 7:30PM

[PeteOverhill]

You could have told me! I was there!

[Mogs]

Opps, sorry.

Hope you forgive me

[David Mc]

See you later - anyone joining us? I'll bring Articulate if we get to 4!

[AllyCat]

Hi....

I can make it along tonight - but not till 8... and yes - I think Floating Onion will be with me!

Are we at The Plough?

Can only stay for 1 game though.........

See you later.....

[David Mc]

Of Scrabble or Articulate?! Or one of each ;-)

[Mogs]

Articulate, I'll bring Tantrix too.

[Asset]

I like Articulate, I'll join you sometime for a game of that.

[David Mc]

Watch this space!

[David Mc]

So last night consisted of a game of Tantrix with Mogs, Mr Mogs and me (which Mogs won - looping for the first time I've witnessed)!

Ally Cat and Floating Onion joined us during that, then Mr Mogs went home (all that tantric stuff did him in clearly)!

Then there were 2 games of Articulate where the boys won both games.

Next Wednesday anyone?

I'm up for Articulate next week - can't play scrabble.

[RosieH]

what is this Articulate? been meaning to Scrabble for ages but illness has prevented me - now I find it's all something new and exciting

Articulate v funny, especially after a few drinks.

[Keef]

I love Articulate!!!!!! (sorry *bob*)

It's similar format to Pictionary, but you speak instead of draw.

[RosieH]

it's like "you say we pay" - only without the payment..?

[RosieH]

or Richard Madeley

[Keef]

You land on a category (object, people, action, place and a couple of others), and then have to try and describe as many of that category as you can in the alloted time. The egg timer goes very quickly, so you don't get through that many cards each go.

Also, like in Pictionary, you have "All Plays", where one person describes, but anyone from any team can guess and take control of the game.

It a great laugh, especially when drunk and/or stoned!

[RosieH]

brilliant, I would like to come along and play if you'll have me

[Asset]

I take it they are quite happy in The Plough for a bunch of people to play games? Scrabble is quiet but Articulate can get quite raucous (in my experience anyway).

[David Mc]

The Plough was fine with the 4 of us playing on Weds evening - and we laughed a lot!! If it was a bigger, louder, group then I'm sure we could all put our anoraks on and go outside!

[Mogs]

Sunday 4pm at The Plough

The following Games can be made available

Super Scrabble 4+ Players Required

Normal Scrabble 2+ Players Required

Party Scrabble 2+ Players Required, for people who like a fast crazy game

PM me information that you are coming and what game you would prefer to play as this will help me organise.

And don't forget we go onto the MAG for their quiz by 7:00 so if you can't make the games try and make the quiz ?500 Cash Prize this week.

[Michael Palaeologus]

This name and shame stuff all sounds a bit vicious. Couldnt you use Nomme de Plume to avoid trauma?

[David Mc]

We have visitors who probably won't want to come and play so if you need your Party version then you'll need to come and pick it up or give me a call and I'll meet you somewhere convenient! You're welcome to keep Articulate for as long as until I want it back!!

You can tell Mr Mogs that the "official" Articulate rules are here: http://www.drumondpark.com/rules/articulate.php But not as much fun as our house rules IMHO!

I'd also recommend Spit It Out but I don't have it - yet! It from the same people that made/distribute Articulate. The rules are (worringly) in their "Rules Archive" (http://www.drumondpark.com/rules/spititout.php) which kind of implied the game is no longer available but a little interweb research suggests it's now called "Don't Panic" and involves a Party Scrabble-type timer rather than a spinner.

This is all very useful and will let Mr. Mogs know about this website. And you will be missed today. I'm not sure if anyone is available yet, I will start the texting in a minute.
