The use of "ITOQQOROTOORMIIT" has always suggested Rushton's Anagram Gambit to me and since Honolulu puts us firmly in squareward rotations, I would suggest a swift return to London via American Airlines and invoke Mr Rushtons's Gambit to boot, sending us to:

Hmmmm

At this point, Stovold would argue that playing the provinces to such an extent would render us susceptible to a quadlateral contortion which I for one am not happy about getting into as my tokens are just inside the limits.

It's back to London for us:

I'm shite at coming up with extravagant bullshit like you guys seem to consistently churn out, but I do know of at least 5 people with my birthday. So there!

So, with that in mind, my next move shalt be:

Bullshit?! Bullshit?!??!?!

Mrs Trellis would be turning in her grave (well, she would if she were dead).

I'm going to have to rein in this ridiculous passage of random play we appear to be stuck in and insist in most ernest tones that we don't leave the beast unattended to for too long.

Those buffers won't hold it forever.

I can see a beautiful move invoking Rushton's Anagram Gambit, grabbing two blue tokens and a palace token. I'm not sure if it's a bad move tactically though because of my lack of knowledge of Stovold. Let's play it anyway:

Hmmm, that's interesting.

If we're going to play Rushton then I can only assume that the following may suffice:

I think our neighbours might be feeling a touch neglected.

TOWER HILL

Invoking (and about time too I think) the Zone 6 container spell which now prevents any player from playing outside Zone 6 without a note from their mum.

Penalties include being diburfed on a Friday, removal of alternative tokens and being forced to clean the lifts at Covent Garden.
