Fortunately for me, most of the things that look like Mornington Crescent games on that server are actually strings of limericks and other non-MC word games.
Actually, I find the whole game an example of one of the more unpleasant aspects of our species--the desire to maintain superiority by enforcing inferiority--and refer anyone who has felt inferior for not knowing the rules to the game to this website:

Please don't take this personally. Group storytelling can be lots of fun; I object to the mystique surrounding the game and not the game itself.
I agree. Which is why the rassef FAQ says what it does on the subject, and why I said "no that's not a spoiler" in a recent rassef discussion when someone explained the real game, as distinct from "the first person to say 'Mornington Crescent' wins".
That's good. You're better than some. (I find it particularly ironic when fans play the "I know a secret you don't know" game, having been so often at the bottom end of a social pecking order.)

P.S. If you would e-mail me the RASSF FAQ answer, I would appreciate it.
