Mornington Crescent

[David Mc]

It's been a while since there's been a game played on here. Any takers?

With the start of the new tax year BANK seems like a logical start.

[Brendan]

Oooh Wapping.

Barking!

Green Park

[BrandNewGuy]

Hmmmm... Rayners Lane!

Grange Hill

[Guest]

Nice move!

Park Royal

[ruffers]

Good try, but you'll have to do better than that.

Sloane Square.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Invoking Boyle's Law, it has to be Green Park.

[candj]

How on earth did you get to Green Park using Boyles Law? Surely it's Knightsbridge.

[David Mc]

Boyle's Law is more commonly known as Susan's Convention - perhaps you know it by that candj? Green Park was valid if unimaginative. It's after midday, so COCKFOSTERS.

Finchley Central

[Guest]

Hold on - aren't we playing the Lordship Lane Protocol? Which makes it in fact -

Brixton

[Huguenot]

Oh right.

But can I follow this with Nevsky Prospekt?

[Guest]

Absolutely, as there's an R in the month.

[David Mc]

Oooh the Nevsky Prospekt. I've always wanted to play that but have only read the theory. I think CHANCERY LANE should be legal?

"London Underground are sorry to announce that the Mornington Crescent station is now closed until further notice"

* collective groan *

:)

[candj]

Yup it's legal David Mc. Good one, however, BELSIZE PARK. (Tee hee)

[David Mc]

If it really was closed then the game couldn't end (except via the Dollis Hill Loop) but it's a blatant lie! Anyway, candj's move forces a DLR shift. MUDCHUTE. With the weekend coming up, beware of engineering works!

[Guest]

Ooh, sneaky; like it.

Gallions Reach (mmm, sounds like pirates).

[Jeremy]

Cutty Sark

[David Mc]

May I suggest that moves are explained (for a few rounds at least)? It might encourage new players if they could see the rationales involved. For clarity, online games are, by default, played using the basic Metropolitan System with Trellis modifications (abridged). This includes Boyle's Law/Susan's Convention and the obvious others. Additional rulesets (like the flippant yet fun Lordship Lane Protocol) can only be incorporated by spending a purple token - take note Ms B! Thank you.

So - staying outside the Circle Line and in the spirit of my previous move to Mudchute, ARSENAL.

[*Bob*]

I won't be encouraged.

The whole 'game' reeks of Barry Cryer, corduroy trousers and longwave smuggery.
