Dollis Hill? Well since there has not been a move in over 48 hours (paralyzed by fear of what I'll pull out of my hat next, I bet) I can go and move to Baker Street under paragraph 27, subsection...
moreQuite a good move, but I can one up you on that. If you have indeed blocked the central line, then I can use a classic East Caimbridge Gambit to take both Paddington and Edgware Road, as well a put...
moreTime for the Shinjuku Switcheroo, as of course popularised by Sawaguchi in the '88 Tokyo finals. I'll spend 15 points to swap the position of my blue marker with that of my red marker, thus enabling...
moreWith green tokens southwest of the yellow zone, and a new player in Brixton, it seems I have no choice but to make my escape through Seven Sisters and travel via National Rail to Elephant & Castle ....
moreWell, if it's not too late to join in, I believe I will start on Brixton.
So I shall begin by placing my green tokens southwest of the yellow zone and proceeding direct to Knightsbridge . This pushes Artell out to Dollis Hill, I believe, and puts AnnaBee in Spoon until her ...
moreIn truth, I may seem daft for what I say, But given time I hope to prove my worth. With Piccadilly gone my plans must change, I move to Baker Street , with all due haste. You read that right, it's...
moreArgh, outsmarted myself. AnnaBee on Earl's Court, nakkel on West Ham, and now Matthew72 on Richmond... a classic Rumpton Collapse, just like Lord Withers in '82. I guess that means I'm out of the...
moreI'm not so wet behind the ears as to fall for such an obvious baited hook, Artell. I make for Notting Hill Gate and Interchange to the Central Line, which I can then take straight to Liverpool Street ...
moreTry this for size, then: With Artell right behind me I can use the Carvington accelerator, and power up to Paddington - which gives me a Olber's Quintet of Circle, District, Bakerloo, Hammersmith and ...
moreI've not a clue what I'm doing. But, there's no harm in giving it an earnest try, right? If it isn't too late, I'll be starting off at Richmond .
I chose Upminster because although it doesn't allow for a quick start, it's suitable well entrenched for my purposes. However with all of you on the other end of the map, it looks like I'm in the...
more... I invoke the Westmoorland/Rashbold projection and move at double-speed up the Victoria line, changing to the Bakerloo at Oxford Circus . hS
I've been around the Underground once or twice before, after all. For old times' sake, I'll be starting in Bayswater on the Circle Line, which of course means I can use the Interchange Rule whenever...
moreIf I hadn't started where I did, I'd never have been able to pull off the Stanmore "Misstep" through use of the Globe Contingency, thus taking Harrow-on-the-Hill while my worthy adversaries are busy...
moreThe Sardoky Rule was never meant to be used that way, and you know it. Still, I'll concede that technically my occupation of Vauxhall doesn't count for the purposes of Sardoky, so you can have this...
moreI have to admit I didn't expect you would realize the opportunity. Luckily I had a backup plan and I can reduce the penalty to only one if I can cross the Thames within a single move, which I...
moreSince Pimlico is now occupied, I can invoke the Westminster Compromise and instantly take Victoria and Vauxhall from the Coach Station. Flanked, Artell! That's a two-turn penalty, if I recall the...
moreI see Phobos has fallen for the Heathrow Triangle. A classic newbie mistake. Since I'm in Wimbledon, I can invoke the Gatwick Exception and play Pimlico , since as you all know it's the closest...
moreThen I take West Ruislip , and under the Oyster Card Exception, immediately move to Victoria Coach Station . From where, you are no doubt thinking, I'll have a devil of a time getting to Victoria...
moreBecause I will. I'll play your game, you rogue. I'll be starting at Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3. I imagine I've probably just stepped off my flight. Let it be known that I have no idea what I am...
moreI can see this is some sort of game about the London Underground, and I'm guessing the goal is to make a loop. I call Earl's Court, in honour of Neverwhere.
Upminster? Are you going for the Cambridge Northeastern Gambit? Wimbledon. I do hope we get more players to make things interesting. This board position would allow for a Mornington Crescent within...
