More Long Game
help
There has to be one of these, doesn't there?

Turnham Green!
uhm... Lewisham, sideways, for three and then three more.
Gordon Bennett, I haven't been here for a couple of years! How are the lot of you, loathsome spongers to the lot!...have half a crown and Morden
why hello Little Jim. I think you'll find I am not a sponger, being closer to a leech in technique. Turnham Green.
Redbridge
New Cross Gate, keeping powder dry for now. Well...if seven years between moves isn't dry I don't know what is.
Impressively dry, that. And still a good aggressive move after it! Gallions Reach
Which puts me on a unicycle somewhere north of the river, looks like Mile End.
Highbury & Islington, straddling the Chelsea-Hackney Line and the East London Line extension, a move so staggeringly illegal it glows in the dark.
Woah. It's silenced the game for THREE WEEKS, it was that staggeringly illegal. I suppose I have no choice but to BZZZZZZZZZT! for Offside!
Right, on with the game then? A throw-in to Gants Hill.
passed to Pimlico, which I spelled with two 'p's a minute ago. heh.
...and driven boringly down the left wing to Arsenal
Hmm. This one needs some energy. I suggest a non-tactical bifurcation with spiral tendencies: Oval / Alperton. Hopefully people will try to deal with this problem rather than running away, but then tactical bad play always was risky...
Seven Sisters / Ongar. not a lot else to be said there.
Which leaves me cornered: Paddington (Circle)/Tower Hill. May as well yodel for a bit.
Oops, ah well. I seem to do this a lot. Ravenscourt Park / Ravenscourt Park, one heading north, the other south. I feel a little lost already.
Enforced lapse in play means I can reunify at Finsbury Park. Thank heavens for that!
Do I detect the faint, tinny smell of another zeroed line velocity in quadrant five? Bromley By Bow it is, then.
Cheeky play Botherer, though you've reversed the LV and I can shunt you to Leytonstone via Turnham Green for your troubles. Sorry!
Negative LV? Now there's a novelty.
Which leads me, neatly, to White City of course.
I see another four months have passed. Time for some decisive action, methinks. * Farkle *
Taking a tentative leave of absence from east London and sodding off to Tooting Broadway for last orders. Mate in three.
Herne Hill collecting unused toots.
Time to invoke the Third Left-Handed Rule of Dominance - Archway
East - West moves, followed by some unused toots & some Left Hand Dominance... getting rather kinky in here...
Which leaves no choice but Pontoon Dock invoking the new DLR route rule!
So there!
Royston Vasey a local move for local people.
A strange situation...nearly enough for the Waterloo & City line to be diddled, which has never happened in my lifetime. Sudbury Town out of sheer fear.
After 3 changes of underwear... Rhyffedd Coed, just in time for 'Snowdon Ranger' to arrive, with the mid-day summer special service.
I'll just change to a new suit thanks, with a step towards Alexandra Palace
In that case York Road
By jove, I just broke my red podume in surprise. Misses turn.
Well that leaves me with no choice but... Ludgate Hill and let that be a lesson to you!
Anyone mind if I just jump right in with both feet and a non-skid buffer, i'll make my play to Surrey Quays
Oh my goodness - I've been asleep. Sorry everyone, Croxley.
(Playing what seems to be my annual move in this game) - Pimlico side-swiping Salamander Pudding. One purple podume please.
Take yer' podume and off with you. That being my last purple I feel I am no longer safe on the defense in the southern regions. Whitechapel seems the only safe bet and may get me into a more balanced offensive set. As today is Little Ricky Day (Marking the arrival of Little Ricky on I Love Lucy in 1953) I believe I am entitled to three Red podumes from each of you.
[SP] Three Red you say? You're welcome - I wasn't using them anyway. Oh well, new year, new strategy. * Farkle *.
Oh dear, I'm stuck between Bank and Monument. How the hell did that happen?
Mill Hill to put it simply...
Just to see if this thing is still awake Knotty Ash.
Seven Sisters, bifurcation wild.
I'll bifurcate away then, as is my wont: Warren Street / Kilburn.
Liverpool Street / Tower Hill HA-HA! Take that. Winning is finally in my grasp.
Am I too late to join the long game...I have a 'get into St Johns Wood Free' card?
Oh my, everyone's welcome in the Long Game. While I'm here, Cannon Street / Walthamstow Central.
Well then - I'll play my 'get into St Johns Wood Free' card, and bifurcate the move, placing equally 4 red counters and 3 yellow squibs on St Johns Wood and Finchley Road. Not too bold a first move I hope?
Poplar / Swiss Cottage, obviously.
Camden Town / Seven Sisters, not so obviously.
Ahhhh! A little lateral thinking suggests the not so lateral Dollis Hill
Damn you tube station, you! Dollis Hill.
Ha ha!!! Dollis Hill *bugger*
What a lot of simpletons you are, one guy moves to Dollis Hill and you cant find a way to stay out yourselves? I suggest you all go back to the grammar school leagues and leave this game to REAL players. Dollis Hill, ahhhh crap, anybody have some crow?
[Salamander Pudding] I still have a "Get out of Dollis FREE" card.....coff.
Thanks my friend, would you be interested in a trade now?
Maybe SP...but careful who you call 'friend'...You may say other 'things' when you see my latest Locks move...Ah heck...*passes card*. See you at North End on our head to head...*smirk*
Paying the cost of LV redoubling, I make a break for Cockfosters.
With podumes tumbling left, right and centre I make a break for Bermondsey. Oh, the humanity!
Well, I think Temple.
Seems a little slow lately. Ladbroke Grove ought to speed things up.
Shoot... If noone else is around then Mornington Crescent Oh yeah. My first win.
I object!!! MC after Ladbroke grove, and you call that a win!!! What about the green podumes you left scattered on the inbound stretch? Bit untidy!!! Unless....no...NO You played that move didn't you?The one with the thing and the reversed whatsit....that make it a fair win then! Well done ;-)
I was watching "The History of MC: 1346 - 1491 Not Including 1408" on DVD this weekend and realized that any moves to MC made on the 16th of March must be preceeded by the killing of a roman emperor.
Bermondsey
I find Seven Sisters should be a good counter to your Bermondsey....
Seven Sisters would be great on my counter, however I'll make do with the ladies around Whitechapel
Move over SP old chap, I'm doubling up on Whitechapel to compare notes! (Tuj is looking for a challenger in Lock my dear friend).
There is always room for 2, but not for long. Moorgate.
