• Yer Mom: Dollis Hill. [Nat] Garlic bread, too?
• Stuart: Dollis Hill (Lack of imagination)
• Hugo Rune: Dollis Hill. [Stuart] Not at all - there were very few alternatives on offer to you, and I suspect you saw that the undertucked pipe around the Metropolitan would be detrimental to stability in the long run. That said, I might have considered a puce side-straddle or attempted Ondyzeki's Interrupted Flush. (But only 'cos I like cod-baroque finesses.)
• Herr Bratsche: Dollis Hill [Nat, Yer Mom] How about a stuffed crust?
• gil: I must say I deplore all this eating on the job. Dollis Hill requires all the concentration you can muster, for fear you make a false move.
• Huxley: Dollis Hill, having just consumed a rather tasteless portion of General Gao Chicken.
• Yer Mom: Dollis Hill. [Herr Bratsche] I bet you say that to all the girls... :)
• JLE: Whoops. Sorry, forgot the game, thought it was Puce Stations Wild there. Dollis Hill for three more at least, in penance.
• CdM: I think I see an opening here. Semiparametric slide to Dollis Hill, playing an inert shunt on gil, and displacing all red tokens on Picadilly Line interchanges.
• Gramit: Dollis Hill then, of course. [gil] Thanks. [JLE] You may have to take more than three this time around, thanks to CdM's slide. You can check the minutes of the 1995 Camden Town working meeting on Dollis Hill slide parameters to make sure. I read them a long time ago and am not sure anymore.
• Nat: Dollis Hill, opening the beer and settling down in front of the video. [gil] I can never concentrate at these games. Besides, I'm stuck in my own personal loop and I can't get out of it before at least three other people break free of the general loop (or is that four others, I'm not sure I got all my sums right.) So I'm just making sure I have as comfortable a time as possible, you see.
• JLE: Bugger. Dollis Hill
• Norma: Dollis Hill and a pint of Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic.
• Gramit: Dollis Hill and a pint of Yards ESB (available in the Phila. area, brewed by a one-time neighbor of mine who went to the same Uni (Heriot-Watt) my dad did.) </advert>
• Herr Bratsche: Dollis Hill, and a firkin of Holden's Special Bitter. I used to live next door to the brewery owner many moons ago.
• Silk: Dollis Hill and a pint of Smiles Heritage
• gil: Sigh... First it was eating, now it is drinking. Obese, legless players seldom escape from Dollis Hill loops, I'm afraid. Pass the turps, will yer?
• Watty: Phew. At last I can move again... Dollis HIll
• Red Rach: I know it needs a full twist, but I can reach Dollis Hill from here.
• CdM: Dollis Hill, diminishing the Neasden overthrust.
• JLE: Thank goodness for that. Dollis Hill.
• Yer Mom: Dollis Hill. Oh look! Everyone else is here, too! Hi!
• Norma: Dollis Hill and some pretzels (what's beer without pretzels?).
• Phil: [Norma] I give in, what is beer without pretzels?
  Charm declared at Dollis Hill
• gil: Dollis Hil
• Jrs: [Phil] Well, it's like beer with pretzels, but not as salty, and with less lumps in it. Oh and I might as well start here with Dollis Hill with a pint of Indiana Pale Ale from the Heartland Brewery, Union Square, New York.
• Kevan: I might as well wade in and see what I can do, I suppose. Dollis Hill. Does anyone want to swap some Green Tokens for Blues and try for a Collapsed Straddle to Willesden Green?
• gil: Dollis Hi
• CdM: Dollis Hill I'm getting a bit worried about gil.
• Néa: [CdM] He'll get out of it on the other side. Right; my LV is 3,182673923 and I have a negative fa soooo.... Dollis Hill.
• Herr Bratsche: Dollis Hill, and pass the Alka-Seltzer. *Hic!*
• Kevan: Oh well. Dollis Hill.
• gil: Dollis H
• Jrs: Is it me, or is gil disappearing up his own loop?
• Dollis Hill Police: It is an offence to disappear up your own loop in public. Therefore gil is probably not doing so.
• Silk: [gil] Pull out man, before it's too late! Bailey never played again after the infamous events of '27. Dollis Hill
• Watty: Dollis Hill releasing the diagonals for one move...
• Red Rach: I'll take advantage of those diagonals, if I may. Dollis Hill before I get all flummoxed.
• Sneggers: Dollis Hill/Dollis Hill
• Huxley: Darn, bi-furicated. Dollis Hill and erm... Dollis Hill
• JLE: Dollis Hill, Dollis Hill and Dollis Hill. Trifurcation alert...
• Tolken: I met a representative of a certain telecomms company the other day called Dilys Hall. I thought it was too good to be true, but it's printed on her
• Tolken: (ahem) business card...
  Dollis Hill*3
• gil: Dollis
• gil: [hours later]Dolli
• Kevan: Playing through the board? Interesting. Dollis Hill and Dollis Hill, killing the third birfurcation with a few silver Tokens.
• Silk: In that case Dollis Hill and Dollis Hill
• gil: Doll
• JLE: Dollis Hill, laterally.
• Néa: Dollis Hill, blonking gil in an attempt to get him out of the negative loop.
• Néa: [Tolken] Hey, I know her! At least, I don't, but she works at the library where I did my work placement... must be another Dilys Hall, come to think of it. It's definitely her name anyway.
• Herr Bratsche: A difficult cross-quadrant double-strile to Dollis Hill
• gil: Dol
• Kevan: Mind if I triple-shunt you, collapse your stack and nick all your Tokens, gil?
• Jrs: Anyone got a rope? We might be able to pull him out of this. That is, if enough people really care....
• Ambushbug: I'm not sure - it would be scientifically interesting to observe a player disappearing into their own Dollis Hill negative loop... the last time it happened was in '27 as Silk so rightly pointed out. Today, we have a far better opportunity to get some really fascinating data...
• JLE: Especially given the recent release of the Holland Park 2000 ruleset - the new section on Quantum Crescent might actually begin to explain some of the weird singularity effects observable around Dollis Hill.
• TDS: Heh... if I join the game now, I have just enough LV to force into a Dollis Hill One Hundred Seventeener. evil grin... This should ensure that Gil won't get out any time soon...

Wow! Just enough tokens to pull it off.
• gil: D
• JLE: Dollis Hill, banging TDS and Sneggers's heads together violently.
• Hugo Rune: Dollis Hill, waving a wary farewell to gil.
• CdM: Dollis Hill, suggesting a petition to have "copy-and-paste" features removed from all future software. [gil] Send us a postcard from the other side.
• Gramit: Dollis Hill [gil] byeeee! [CdM] Agreed!
• Néa: Dollis Hill, quadro-laterally.
• Herr Bratsche: Dollis Hill - a rare straight move, here.
• Sneggers: It really wasn't my fault for the centifurcation Dollis Hill
• Phil: If I double-strile, negate Charm, reduce the LV and reverse straddle (obviously) - Dollis Hill - phew!
• Tolken: Using Dollis Hill as a bi-directional terminus, I think I can Ddoolliiss Hhiillll
• Tolken: perhaps not.
• gil:           l
• Kevan: Ingenious!
• JLE: lliH silloD. Oh dear, I've been inverted...
• CdM: [JLE] That's odd. I thought the Dollis Hill matrix was singular. Dollis Hill
• Sneggers: Well, I think that's done it for most of us - farkle
• Kevan: Bzzzzzzzz-ting! Thank heavens I happen to be reading this at work rather than through my slow home connection. Dollis Hill.
• Silk: Er, surely that TDS move was offside? Dollis Hill passing a blue token to Kevan.
• Néa: Oh, for crying out loud. Let's get that move over the top of the screen quickly. My Freem count is good so... no. Still Dollis Hill
• Watty: If we all pull together, it should be one in a couple of days... Dollis Hill
• Huxley: Racing to Dollis Hill
• Hugo Rune: Dollis Hill, passive driveback.
• Kevan: Dollis Hill, passing a Green back to Silk. Cheers.
• Néa: Dollis Hill, muttering incomprehensibilities
• Kevan: Engaging rapid play and playing another Dollis Hill, for the sake of future generations.
• TDS: Whoa! Whoever did that last thousand-hill move was NOT me. Someone is impersonating me... In any case, Dollis Hill.
• Yer Mom: Er, Dollis Hill, drifting slightly askew...
• Watty: Dollis Hill, trying to keep this together...
• Sneggers: Well, I suppose Dollis Hill
• CdM: Dollis Hill
• Herr Bratsche: Dollis Hill. Any takers for putting this one out of its misery?
• Rich: Dollis Hill?
• Néa: Dollis Hill [Rich] Yes.
• Kevan: Dollis Hill. If I can get another Blue and dispatch a couple of Greens, I might be in a position to overload the stack and unlock Neasden, but I'm not that optimistic. Mysens utilizations are proving extremely restrictive.
• gil:          ll
• gil:         ill
• gil:        Hill
• Néa: gil? gil? Are you feeling all right? [everyone else] I wonder if we should have force-fed him those strange green pills... it seemed like a good idea at the time but...
