Will - Although the smoog explanation isn't accurate, King's X was specifically invalidated by reason of the implicit one-station block from Uncle Corky's Royal Oak play earlier. It was valid UNTIL the Euston move, as I pointed out.
Tuj - Well, as that is only valid retrospectively I'll continue with
Shaft!,
Sandbags At Dawn declared.
Boolbar - [Snagandorf] I think you've overlooked something.
Sudbury Hill putting Snagandorf in
knid and shunts all tokens on the circle line one stop clockwise.
Snagandorf - E gad you'r right,
Oxford Circus and the game is running strong.
Uncle Korky -
Amersham, and a silver podume on
Westminster to police the southern approaches.
LotUS -
Oxford Circus shunting Snagandorf - one khaki token on
High Barnet to army the northern approaches.
Thrax -
Heathrow Terminal 4. Playing
Spoon on
Darren, and jettisoning him to
Blackfriars. Ha! I'm so wicked.
Robin - Ha!
Parsons Green en passant.
Tuj - I'm still not convinced that this isn't just another game disguised as MC, particularly as the name suggests originality.
Hotpoint,
il led rosso declared.
Darren -
Blackfriars (thanks Thrax). [Tuj] The title, as I see it, simply implies that this game is to MC sites as "New Song" by Howard Jones is to synth pop. Thus, we won't crack up, bend our brains, see both sides, and throw off our mental chains, woo woo woo.
Dujon - Wow! You have been busy, though by the look of it not very productive. So,
Green Park for a breath of fresh stuff.
Tuj - Darren] Fine... be that way!
Neasden.
Thrax - Drat it! I see you were already
at Blackfriars,
Darren. Curses. As always, there's usually one
tiny flaw in my evil, machiavellian schemes. Reminds me of the time I attempted to conquer the world by shrinking the planet to the size of an indigestion tablet and swallowing it with a sip of water. I ended up miniaturising the shrinking device and enlarging the glass of water. And worse still, despite gulping down all the liquid after swallowing it, the shrunken shrunking device did indeed give me ingigestion. Oh, cruel irony!
Back to the drawing board I suppose.
Trafalgar, for ten.
Thrax -
Dollis Hill, naturally.
Tuj - Hmm...
Dollis Hill, maybe?
Chalky -
Neasden to break the loop before it threatens to bore us all to death. DH loops are SO last century.
Boolbar - [Chalky] Still using
Neasden? You ought to go with the
in crowd and try
Osterley.
Snagandorf - [Bob the dog] i think you have the wrong game(but we will accept that move). i watched a moment of golf yesterday so
Wimbledon.
Tuj - I told you this game had undertones!
Plank,
Little Jimmy denied.
Thrax -
Berkeley Square. Prizing all laterals to 45 degress, and raising LV by 12%. Stand well back if you're squeamish.
Darren -
Glasgow. You leave me no choice.
Boolbar - Going North -
Ultima Thule
LotUS - Forcing me west to
Times Square.
Thrax - We're playing a little outside the usual local boundaries aren't we? So be it.
The Smaller of the two Magellanic Clouds.
Tuj -
Hellas Verona, for obvious reasons.
Will - The silly state of this game, however, allows for
Oxford Circus putting all recreational movers into knip.
Thrax -
One Inch to The Left of Will's Position, since we've gravitated back and been "reined in tight" again.
Dujon - You're a devious devil, Thrax. Hmmm, if you are serious about Will I'd better shadow Harry,
Poplar it is.
Thrax - Hmmmm, you've always proven a worthy adversary,
Dujon, and I commend you on a move of some cunning. I hereby declare another *
Farkle* to ease the tension. I'd open a window and stand well back for the next few minutes, everybody.
Will -
One Kilometre to the Right of Thrax's Position forced...you should really try a new deodorant, Thrax. *joking*
Tuj -
Floor 29 of the Hotel Ukraina, Moscow... playing safe, if unsteady.
Boolbar -
Almost (but not quite) Mornington Crescent - Darn!
Chalky -
Jennifer's Underwear Drawer. There you go, Boolbar. Try again.
penelope -
Una Stubbs,
'Bad Miming' invoked. You can't silence me!
Boolbar - [Chalky] Thanks!
Mornington Crescent in a G-string. No that's still not right.
Snagandorf - i have3 been away too long so
almost, but not quite, compleatly unlike, Mornington Crescent also known as
Dollis Hill.
Gusset Login - Finally emerging from knip to play a deverstating
Dollis Hill
Will -
Morni....ah, drat, that won't work...
Dollis Hill
Darren -
Dollis Hill and don't fight the inevitable.
Dujon - Whew, that little bit of circulation cleared the air - thanks. Now, Boolbar and Thrax were playing dirty so -
Mudchute.
LotUS - Avoiding all of the aforementioned mess by striling gracefully to
Barons Court.
Boolbar - [Dujon] Playing dirty! Never. Moving two soap tokens to
Canada Water.
Tuj -
Building Society - I'm sorry! I was so close to Bank but I didn't make it!
Chalky -
Surrey declaring *fringe on the top*
Will -
Morni...
checks board Nope, still won't work.
King's Cross St. Pancras
Dujon - Having been out-alkalined it's
Rayners Lane with an implied threat to the Metropolitan.
Tuj -
The Fourth Estate / Chessington World of Adventures, a wild bifurcation.
LotUS - [Tuj] Now you've done it.
The Bishop of Durham's seat in the House of Lords / Universal Studios, FL - theme parks wild on the second strand.
Boolbar -
Big Ben / Dollywood invoking
Bong!
Valentin -
The London Eye / Disneyland, Paris straddling
La Manche and closing the Channel Tunnel.
Tuj -
Lord's / The Restaurant at the End of the Universe - Valentin that was nasty!
Snagandorf -
Pluto/within three miles of ecentrica galumbits and i hope i spelled that right
Will - Hmm...that allows
Kochab/Ursa Minor Beta which, being the same place, reunites the strands.
Angus Prune -
Northampton County Cricket Ground/Alpha Centauri separating them again... Never call me a conformist!
Tuj - Re-unifying at
Karachi. Or was that
Venezuela?
Boolbar - [Tuj] Thanks! Now let's try and get back in the right direction.
A Map of The London Underground.
LotUS - Sorry.
A Jackson Pollock painting.
Chalky - Getting close at
The Palm Reading Parlour behind Paddington Station
Snagandorf -
a cup of what may or may not be tea i am a little tipsy.
Valentin - Clearly that would be
Darjeeling / Lipton Ice Tea(TM)
LotUS - Which proceeds nicely to
Earl Grey / TwiningsTM Peppermint.
Tuj -
Birds' Nest Soup, reunifying, for what it's worth.
Dujon - Doubless with a subtle flavour of herb tea the next is for Oxford Circus
Dujon -
IMPOSTER ALERT! I refer to the post immediately above entered at 1:46 pm Sunday 4th July. 'Twas assuredly not I ... I was well and truly tucked up in bed at that time.
Kim - Picking up from Poisoned Pidgeon's last (legitimate) posting,
The Tate, for art's sake....
Snagandorf - this game seems to have gotten a little too open
Dollis Hill and i close the loop
Tuj - Oh no! Forced to play abstractedly after the sudden closure, a prepostrous
Canons Park!?
Snagandorf - i will take advantage of the crazy move and play
bank stop me before i win!
Will - Elementary. The best way to stop you is
Mornington Crescent, claiming the win for myself.
Audience -
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Will*
Will - What can I say? The imposter, combined with the late Dollis Hill reference, brought my LV to a ridiculous level somewhere above
c, thus bringing me in from Kochab to MC.
Snagandorf - i meant stop me from winning now so the game can go on, i was worried the game would come to a premature end at my hands, oh well.
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
