Mornington Crescent: The Return

[mythmonster2]

Old Street? How truly magnificent! Surely one of your stature would know they old Chuchill exploit which lands me directly in New Cross! I'm sure you all know what happens next.

 

[landlubber]

Never played anything like this, but let's go to St Pancras.

 

[holy king]

ah, typical rookie mistake.
sorry, but i'm pretty much bound to do the parliamentary's switch, move out to upminster and call a letterbox on you.

 

[IronMan2055]

Tricky...tricky, but what if I play the Zone 6 Travel Card and emerge at Ruislip?

 

[holy king]

you can only do that in the month of september as long as someone is in upminster, according to the higgs-grimes amendment of 96.

related problems first arose during the herbert and sons' chicken accessories cup of 78, and it was finally changed in 96.
i can tell you those were tough days until the overdue rule change.




i stay in upminster. until september, if need be.
landlubber, the letterbox is still out.

 

[landlubber]

What's a letterbox? What does it do?

 

[Virote_Considon]

Letterbox allows the next user to go to Swiss Cottage as I am doing now.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Which then opens up the path to Gloucester Road

 

[Winston Hughes]

...and then, since we're still in clump, straight through to Gallions Reach for the full Szyslowski.

 

[Diamondeye]

Nice move, Winston, but we haven't had the last optional for the full Szoslowski. I'll have to add that by going to London Bridge.

 

[Bartleby]

That means I can go for High Street Kensington, setting up a Cavendish Gambit for MC in four.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Argh. The Cavendish Gambit cancels out my own Worthington Gambit! If I'd only logged in earlier and seen Diamondeye on London Bridge I would be on MC by now.

Sigh...retreating to Brent Cross

 

[BananaLee]

Hahahahahahahahha
Three moves to good old MC. It's inevitable thanks to you, Kan.

Berwick-upon-Tweed

 

[Virote_Considon]

I can block your advance to MC if I go to Gospel Oak.

 

[Bartleby]

That's going to make things a bit sticky for my Cavendish Gambit, but I'm not going to play safe...Cockfosters.

 

[Diamondeye]

I'm going to get into the game with my own Hitchhiker's Gambit now by taking us to Hyde Park Corner

 

[IglooDame]

Sorry to lob a grenade into the game but a fresh look at the rules fairly cries out for a move to Uxbridge and two pints, three if my Scafell Pike Variation turns out well.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Well that only makes things easier for me - Wimbledon Park

 

[holy king]

i move to marylebone, trippling the scafell pike, which means six times the pints.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

Ahhhh, it's been too long!

Jumping into the round with a possibly ill-advised play of Paddington.
