Ooops! Not a problem though. Being a super project run by volunteers of spectacular ability we naturally have the assistance of specialist pixies. I'll drop a note to the window cleaners. And if you do need to go up there, make sure you're roped up (apply to the mountaineering pixies)

Any news when we start?

I haven't heard back from Bryan, so I guess you might as well start

That's a pity! I will start the game tomorrow.

I'll second that

Here we go- the game's afoot!

Result of the dice: 6 + 5 = 11
You landed on Ketchikan

I will buy it.

Anchors a-weigh!

I've thrown 7 - oh dear - straight to Chance
I've thrown 16 so the cook gives us soap and beans for dinner. I scarper for the Crow's Nest collecting M200 if I pass 'Go' to get there.

Well that wasn't a great start. I get vertigo, I'm in an empty Crow's Nest (no cash), and didn't go past 'Go' As I often say, it's still better than a slap round the face with a wet fish

Michael's move
From GO: Throwing 2 + 2 = 4 => Naval Fines Office
You threw a double. Go again!!!

Michael's move
From Naval Fines Office: Throwing 4 + 1 = 5 => San Fernando
The cost for San Fernando is $120.

I will buy it, please, Mr. CFO!

Who let the Naval Fines Office onto the board?

1+1, Community Chest.
4, ICECREAM! And SHORELEAVE!
but I didn't pass Go.

6+1, Community Chest!
13, I share my CHOCOLATE! And get M100

wow, sugar high...

5 and 4 (9) is the go for me.

Sitka and I will buy it please.

Roll 6 and 4=10 That puts the Lighthouse at "Shore Leave." Not a really big deal as we are just getting started. Better than getting hit with a fine on the first step out, though.
I like the Lighthouse picture , by the way. Thanks Joan.

I'm glad that you like it, Morgan. I love them. There's something wonderful about these amazing structures.

I'll start the next round...
I threw 2+4 = 6 so I land on Sydney which I will buy for M260 . Property! And what a beautiful harbour to stop in

Michael's move
From San Fernando: Throwing 5 + 2 = 7 => Singapore
The cost for Singapore is $180.

I will buy it, please, Mr. CFO!

Nope, 9 takes you to San Fernando, so you pay M8 to Michael (who just happens to be there to collect in person)

I claim this land for me myself!

Well take some good grub from the Galley and a few pots of grog because it's on lock-down just now

gotta 4 + 2 - Vancouver
You're MINE. I WANT you. Please. Thanks.

(When I logged on I saw everyone but me was at a place that began with the letter S. When Vancouver is mine I'm renaming it Sans Couver, which translates to "without a table cover.")

Sorry Chris.
When I copied the the place names to make a position grid somehow I forgot to add in the chance etc places. Opps, now fixed.

6+1 =7 San F to Singapore, pay Michael (again) M14
