Ok, asshole.

You realize that no one knows how to play this game. Why? This site is predominantly American (with the Australians in a close second) and no one gives a shit about streets in Britain. I don't think the British give enough of a shit about the streets in Britain to play a game about it.

As a joke, the first thread serves its purpose, quite well.

I move that this thread be not locked but deleted.

I think it doesn't serve its purpose very well, as it's a joke that virtually no one here gets, and certainly no one got without Googling it.

I thought the joke was supposed to be that no one gives half of a solitary airborne fuck about British streets, or at least not enough to make a game out of it much less play it.

And I didn't have to google that!

See, the real joke is that the "game" is a parody of games with overly complex rules.

I read the wikipedia page.

I think it's kinda funny because I've been in both chess club and contract bridge club.

Oh, that one's a bitch.

I was a total asshole at chess. I got through tournament rounds by exploiting rules the opponent didn't know, such as "If the board takes the same position 3 times, the game is a draw".

My biggest problem with this game is that it completely distracts people from the Walt game which for some reason has had a lack of popularity for the last two rounds.

This is why I could never really get into British humor.
