Well, our MC-playing muscles have probably become a bit atrophied from lack of use, so how about a simple game so we can all limber up a bit? Let's see: - The Finsbury Option is available at all times.
- You can have no more than three pegs, two spoons and ten tokens in play at any one time.
- Oblique moves shall imply open laterals and vice versa.
- The magnitude of the Argand diagram of the second differential of Line Velocity shall not exceed unity without the prior agreement of all players.
- Prior agreement may be obtained retrospectively by inter-toggling the snoods, but obviously that will invert the Bakerloo line unless there is at least a semi-active frume within three moves of Sloane Square.
There. I don't think I can simplify things any further than that without making a travesty of the entire game. So, let's get on with it then.
Kentish Town
Cranking up the game play after a month's enforced stoppage.
Laterals now open. Glory be.
Putney Bridge
Thank you, that's freed things up nicely
Canary Wharf
Collecting bonuses.
Finsbury Park
Well you said it was available at all times!
Acton Town
We apologise for the one month delay to this service.
Stratford
I'm new here (but played a bit at Orange a few years back). This is a reliable station for hitting the ground running.
Turnham Green
But only in the rush hour.
Ealing Broadway
Darn it. The trains are packed at this time of day.
Golders Green
I presume I don't need to explain why.
Hounslow West
Good question.
Osterley and Spring Grove
Willesden Green
For the potential for placing cats amongst pigeons.
Greenford
Because I'd seen nights' move coming, of course.
Quex Road
Cryer's Gambit.
Waddon Marsh
Sobbers Stratagem...
Harlesden for West Willesden and Stonebridge Park
Putting the pigeons amongst the cats...
Dalston Junction
Spitting feathers.
Archway
Taking flight with seven puce tokens
Nereid Avenue
Wait...wrong country.
Funsbary Perk
No, wait, I mean
Pork. No,
Berks.
Wasn't this supposed to be the simple version?
Sod it, Moanington Croissant.
I hate this game sometimes.
Fulham Broadway
Possibly missing the point.
Aldwych
Deliberately subverting the point.
Vauxhall Cross
Jumping the points.
Dollis Hill
Perpetually, it would seem.
Oval
Burning (yes, actually) all my podumes. An expense worth paying, with the game state as it is.
Mildmay Park
Nipping to the Railway Tavern for a beer...
Putney Bridge
Has anyone questioned the leisurely nature of this game? Oh. That'll be me. :)
Hyde Park Corner
With incredible transparency, which I hope will be missed in this glacial pace.
Oval
Glacial? I'll show you glacial...
Harlesden
Above the line for four, then below.
Pinner
Striling on the NE diagonal
Cockfosters
Which isn't too bad.
South Kensington
Rewiring the Bakerloo line.
Swiss Cottage
Sounds like it should be made of cheese.
Temple
To throw out those pesky Wonga people.
a simple solution
A Simple Game of MC languishing, unloved and without moves, for three months deserves a simple Lurker Victory. Mornington Crescent.
Audience
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for penelope*
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
