Mornington Crescent

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue...

 

[Kula Meenur]

^ What she said.

Picadilly Circus.

Don't think I didn't see what you were trying to do. Lord Mountbatten's Gambit is such an obvious play after it's extensive use last January.

I'm afraid that move places you, too, in nip. If you could possibly do me the honour of thinking back to the Right Honourable Mr. Wales' first move you will see why.

Tottenham Court Road!

Point of order my good sir, we are playing the Welsh rules are we not? Doubleback restarts are very much allowed, especially if moving off of a Northern Line. Nip simply does not come into it.

Tottenham Court Road?

King's Cross St. Pancras




P.S. nice moderation ^^

 

[Rizzo]

Bah,

Tottenham Court Road!

Does that work?

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Ah, reverse Welsh rules. I've been fooled again. The third informant tells me it's going to be five clicks north of the prior location, but one must walk blindfolded on the third Tuesday of the fifth month of the year. Just start walking east from the fifth Amorphous tensegrity structure.

Belsize Park!

 

[Eejit]

Belsize Park?


Mornington Crescent!

 

[Crushenator 500]

Sorry Eejit, but since we're playing by welsh rules I'm afraid Blodwen's law blocks of the belsize to mornington line after the riots in Llangollen back in the 30s, would've been a good move otherwise though

 

[AJ Rimmer]

That's an incorrect call of MC then, which means Eejit can't play any more moves that falls in a parallel line to anyone else's controlled stations. Unless of course we're in spoon, in which the board is rotated 90 degrees.

To prevent such an occurence, in a defensive move I play Paddington!

 

[Zerimski]

Indeed, the Belsize/Mornington hop has been off-limits for quite some time unfortunately.

I remember back in the day, I was in Hampstead for the International Regional Semi-Incontinental Quarter Finals, watching the great Geoffrey Sir Geoffrey de Villiers Geoffrey the Great plan and execute such a manoeuvre with inch-perfect precision. It was masterful, really. His opponent, John "The Sous Chef" Sinclair of Bethnal on Bethlehem, didn't know what had hit him. He woke up in Aldgate with a splitting headache and three and a half quarters of a badger.

Speaking of which, Aldgate, with a stop over for a can of Fanta at Leicester Square.

 

[Iron Kat]

Well in that case, Leicester Square(?)

 

[Ennui]

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue...

lol, I see what you did there

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I dont know what this is about, but I'm assuming European prostitution ring. I'm coming with my sniper.

 

[staticprimer]

This is like dropping into the the middle of a foreign film without subtitles.

 

[Laivasse]

East Ham. lol you amateurs were wide open to the Henley Parallel I just opened up on your arses.

You'll see why I didn't open with West Ham in just a minute. Here's a hint: EALING BROADWAY. Scared yet? I'd like to see how you all can possibly avoid a Thistledon Discombobulation on the Hammersmith & City from here.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I don't know what the hell you just posted.

 

[Rizzo]

Well in that case, Leicester Square(?)

Two punks up on the subway
It's a long way to go
To get to Leicester Square
A hard line
It's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross
To get you anywhere

Im an arrogant douch, so i to pick that one. In my rule book thats okay if you quote som lyrics.

 

[Stormy]

Woodside park on northern line ftw

 

[Iron Kat]

i say Woodside prk to Finchley Central. I hope that counts!

 

[Jintor]

I'm going to do this the hard way and try and work out how it works purely on forum posts.

 

[kineaesth]

Oh, god, I love you guys.

 

[Eejit]

I should be out of knip by now. Even though I was only put there through very dubious interpretation of some rules who's relevance to that kind of situation has been disputed many times, most notably by Dame Yarwood-Willingforth at the Coronation celebratory all-comers games semi-final in '53.

Still not to be a bad egg about it, Moorgate!

i say Woodside prk to Finchley Central. I hope that counts!

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Well that's it then- If Moorgate has been played there's really only one move I can play. I'm sorry everyone but... Dollis Hill!

 

[kineaesth]

Oh, bollocks.

 

[Evo]

Damnit! I shall have to rethink my next move.

 

[Laivasse]

Well that's it then- If Moorgate has been played there's really only one move I can play. I'm sorry everyone but... Dollis Hill!

Always with the Dollis Hill... I knew there was a reason I stopped playing this game for ages.

 

[Pesmerga]

I move to... Tampa!

Take that, britfags.

 

[Eejit]

Dollis Bloody Hill

Canada Water should take care of that, avoiding the Dixingberry Conundrum.

 

[Rizzo]

I go Dixingberry Conundrum

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Ah, Canada Water. The ol' Rotherhithe ultimatum. Haven't seen such trickery since the great Wesminster incident of '34. You've laid all your aces out, for better or for worse. All would be fine and dandy if the Duke of Wellington hadn't declared the 32nd revision to double-back reverse Welsh rules centuries ago. You never cease to amaze me with your blatant ignorance towards known amendments, Eejit.

We certainly wouldn't want another St. Mark's Church type occurrence now, would we? Don't make me mislead the IG Cadets to Silvertown.

 

[Eejit]

I do beg your indulgence, but Canada Water was specifically stated by the Duke himself to be an exception to the revision of the rules - apparently one of his favourite aides-de-camp had some interests there and wanted it to remain under the original system.

 

[Rizzo]

Okay seriously where do you get all this crap from?

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Okay seriously where do you get all this crap from?

May I recommend picking up a copy of McKeith, Bromby and Matherson's A beginners guide to Mornington Crescent. Unfortunately there are rarely any copies available on Amazon, but it should give you a clear view and understanding of the game once you find it.

 

[simonjedi]

I've just passed GO.

?200 please

 

[Iron Kat]

?200 please

Wrong game. We're playing Mornington Cresent, not Monopoly!!
Sorry, i don't have another move for you!
