To reflect the current place of residence of this site's owner, this game takes place on the Manchester Metrolink. Obviously this map offers fewer subtleties than the London Underground, but I think there will be some opportunity for tight play. Winning move is Bowker Vale.
And so it begins...
rab - Starting at St Peter's Square, declaring home at Besses o'th' Barn.
plump - Fellow drag racers will agree that Pomona is the only valid option at this pre-stage.
DrQu+xum - Old Trafford. Care for a quick sixes match?
Blob - Ahhh .. Crumpsall - gosh this is tight isn't it. I reckon the Becks is up to 7.4 already.
Bob the dog - In with a Frank Sidebottom. Timperley.
rab - Retreating to Weaste. [All] By the way, some stations were renamed after the system reopened, which might allow for some bifurcations. I'll try and find a suitable URL detailing the changes.
rab - Reopened? Opened? Whatever. In fact, I'm not even sure that statement is true. Certainly, the names on my A-Z differ from those on the stops, and I'm curious as to (a) why and (b) what effect this might have on gameplay.
Ibid - To play or not to play, that is the question. Oh, alright then, Dane Road.
Inkspot - Mosely Street waiting to go north against the flow.
PaulWay - Starting in from the ends via Altrincham.
Blob - I must progress with all speed to the wonderfully named Besses o' th' Barn station. What makes me think that there ould never be a station called that south of, say, Derby ?
rab - Holding fast at Picadilly Gardens
Ibid - Since I need to secure my position, where better than Anchorage?
rab - Seem to have stalled here... is it really so tight?
Ibid - I don't know, I'm wondering if I scared everyone off.
Boolbar - Moving bus from Trafford Centre.
Boolbar - That should soften the Becks
rab - Leaving Cornbrook wide open (although with no street access, one might imagine how this is possible).
Lib - Heading to Salford Quays to watch the groovy bridge go up and down.
rab - Woodlands Road
Graham III - Opening at Victoria
rab - This game's a bit slow isn't it. Something to do with the limited interchanges, probably. So off to Navigation Road.
Bob the dog - Opening nicely for Bowker Vale.
Audience - *shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Bob the dog*
Bob the dog - I'm gobsmacked! Takes a ride home with Badly Drawn Boy and leaves coat with teeth in pocket...
Boolbar - Couldn't get ahead. I just couldn't get ahead. [Btd] Yarbles!
Widey - Best hit the burbs and settle for a Mossley
oldbloke - Hello. I'm trying to track down an old game I played in using the GMPTE network ruleset. This game is the closest to that, geographically. Anybody remember it, and maybe suggest where I might find it? It might have been on Mr Wildpants server, which seems to be gone...
Darren - Yes, Pants is unfortunately long dead. I dunno if anyone's kept an archive of the games on it.
uSNJnQQtijNqEuCJ - qH2SJk wjzbtccb cxgjkwhp uiweoswa
Knobbly - A good point, well made...
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
