CAN I CALL A HALT UNTIL THAT LAST LEG IS FULLY INVESTIGATED

The first posting that occurred PRIOR TO the strike-through requests was that of HAMPTON on posting # 147941

At that time, my posting of SUNBURY on posting # 147942 was struck-through, having been queried by a quiz adjudicator.

The next valid posting after that was KEMPTON PARK on posting # 147951

There are three further stations on the Shepperton Branch Line that are still to be named, so that leg cannot end with Kempton Park.

CAN I CALL A HALT UNTIL THAT LAST LEG IS FULLY INVESTIGATED

Of course. Halt called. I will take a closer look and return with an answer.

Invalid moves and legibility
The game depends heavily on the order of moves being correct. Occasionally invalid posts are made, for instance when lots of posts are made in quick succession. To avoid problems arising from this:

• You may never edit a move, other than to strike it out using [s][/s] tags if it is invalid.
• If you then need to make a new move, do so by posting again and not by editing.

The thread has adjudicators (currently @A Challenge, @clagmonster, @FelixtheCat and @Whistler40145) who keep track of the score and help work out what to do when mistakes are discovered. They might ask you to strike out your post if one before yours was invalid.

If you are caught breaking the rules about editing, the adjudicators can dock 25 points from the leg. If someone has started a new leg after incorrectly deciding they have won the previous leg then the adjudicators award them no points for that leg, so be careful!

Perhaps a referral to the above extract from the rules could prove useful.

ADJUDICATION

From Strawberry Hill, the valid posts are as follows:
Fulwell #147940 (Paul Sidorczuk)
Hampton #147941 (Whistler40145)
Sunbury #147942 (Paul Sidorczuk)

From Sunbury the valid moves are either Kempton Park or Upper Halliford. As Paul posted both these, that would be a double-posting. Therefore, all posts after #147942 to when I originally called a halt (at #147950) were invalid.

Posts can never be withdrawn unless they are invalid. In this instance, a post was incorrectly declared invalid (Sunbury at #147942).
Adjudicators can and have been asking people to re-instate posts that have struck-through.

Play then restarted from the last valid post, which was Paul Sidorczuk's post of Sunbury. Whistler40145 quoted this and posted Kempton Park, which was a valid move. As Kempton Park can only be reached from either Hampton or Sunbury (both of which had been posted), the leg was won by Whistler 40145.

The final valid posts from Strawberry Hill to the end of the leg are as follows:
Fulwell #147490 (Paul Sidorczuk)
Hampton #147941 (Whistler40145)
Sunbury #147942 (Paul Sidorczuk)
Kempton Park #147951 (Whistler 40145)
<END OF LEG>
