You can't start until you've defined the rules! Anarchy will break loose otherwise!

Erm... the idea is link stations together as though on a game board until someone lands on Mornington Crescent. There are other rules but I think someone else understands it better.

Kings Cross-Euston-Monrington Crescent Tut-tut! Illegal double-knipp. I'll offer Regents Park instead. |

I'm going to utilise the third rule (do you guys not know the rules?  ) and do a Park-Park move, Green Park. Don't even think about a triple Park move! |

If we're playing by the Earl of Stafford's Memorials and Academies rules with the 2009 amendment then I think there would be a forfeit arising from that move, so I'll play it safe and go with Great Portland Street.

As it's not a Wednesday, and we are ISO9000-compliant, I think I'm right in saying I can call West Ruislip

West Ruislip you say?
Blake Hall seems a fairly safe move to me.

Oi! Blake Hall is a bit of cheeky answer in these economic times.
Due to the climate and jetstream moving north I'm going to have to go with Canary Wharf Crossrail.

Castle Bar Park on a Friday in July!? And in a leap year too! Your're a braver man than I am!
As the year is not divisble by 13 and the sun is still above the yardarm, I'd normally have to play in zone 4, but since it's less than a month to the Olympics even zones are out of bounds until 7pm so it'll have to be Tooting Broadway.

hmmm, from the lie of the board as it stands, and the absence of any verticals where the play has to be made, I think under rule 17(c)(iii) (part 2), I'm going to say South Kentish Town

Post by astock5000 on Jul 20, 2012 15:55:50 GMT
This probably is predictable but I can't see a better move, so I'll say Preston Road.

I'm confused? What is the aim here? Just seems like random stations?

Post by chrisvandenkieboom on Jul 20, 2012 18:32:52 GMT
Because of some doubt here, I'm going for Harrow-on-the-Hill.

Some good moves so far and from Chris vdK's move I now play the DD memorial move of South Harrow.

Just play and I'm sure you'll pick it up. I think I'm stuck though with Harrow-on-the-Hill

Not just the wrong thread but a wrong move too - did you forget that double Harrows have precluded all Streets for the following two moves since the Kentucky Debacle of November 1983?
You leave me no choice but to try a risky Reverse Frenchman: Finchley Road and Frognal.

You can't start until you've defined the rules! Anarchy will break loose otherwise! So true. Very wise words indeed. I know directly quoting a rule (after a game has started) may be distressing for some players but I feel gentle moderation is sometimes appropriate. And Rule Nineteen (partially) states: "Remember never to forget Rule One". Temple |

Post by astock5000 on Jul 20, 2012 20:12:53 GMT
And it also seems several people have forgotten rule 56, created last year, which bans moves from Metropolitan line stations that do not go via Pinner. But assuming we carry on from Temple, my next move is to Hatton Cross.

No, jjerome95 playing Bethnal Green means that the whole Central Line is in knib, and obviously its interchanges by association.
So the only option from that is Emirates Royal Docks.
