More Long Game
help
There has to be one of these, doesn't there?
arrow_circle_up
Kensal Green, unremarkably enough.
farkle...
Well, if you must ... Clapham Junction
Chalky]Thankfully your move was as a result of Artaud otherwise that move may have put you in knid during a P&G cascade. Stabalising with Holland Park .
I'll play a correctly spelt Tufnell Park
Green Park scoring double - and gaining a bronze podume I believe.
Elm Park and placing a blocking blue token on Upton Park.
St James' Park
St. Quintin Park and Wormwood Scrubbs
I'm forced into a double-back move which places me on top of Harrow-on-the-Hill
Willesden Green. A narrow escape there.
[growse] but Harrow-on-the-Hill is actually at the bottom of the Hill. Westminster
Ah Ha! Easy money! Parsons Green.
there's nothing more sickening than "Turnham Green", a rough sea is usually quite good for that sort of thing.
Cannons Park its quiet out here.
I think I'll invent a station Queensbury.
Pants! Gants Hill
A sublime move that forces Ibid into Quince. Hmmmmm.
By my podume, someone will pay for this indignity. Northfields.
Hmm... Southfields.
Kew Gardens to terminating the elusive P&G cascade and pick up an oak podume.
Tricky.......will womble down to Wimbledon to live things up about. And colecting a pink token en route
West Acton. Polarity is reversed. LV is doubled. Freem is raised. Consequences are 'hilarious' as they dubiously claim before bad quality sitcoms.
Time for a cuppa. Put's the Kettle and nips round to South Acton
Declaring Do you think it'll suit me? at North Acton
Declaring trumps at Stratford
Spades at Green Park
Hyde Park Corner - It's the best we can do and more than enough for the job, starting a P&G cascade.
There's a certain deja vu element to recurring nightmares Wimbeldon Park
Indeed. Onward and upward to Stepney Green, allowing use of DLR in non-shuttle manoeuvres.
No way am I being tempted onto the DLR. Parsons Green
Keeping safe with Euston Square
Introducing panic with a quick hop to Whitechapel.
*panics* err, err, Canada Water
[Boolbar] DON'T PANIC Perivale
Ambling sedately to Rayners Lane.
Victoria
Ladbroke Grove, augmenting diagonals with a 3/1 Twill Pickering.
Ouch.
*Flumuxed* Bifrucating adjacent stations St Paul's Bank capitailing on Twill but confounded by Pickering.
Looping around Pickering problem by using the Saintly prefix method. St. Oval. Twill ratio at 4/1. LV forced to minimum 3.6 on Northern line. Tea and buns served in 5 minutes. Becks squared on the diagonals. Blue token surprise!
That LV caught me out forcing a Twill Twisting on the Northern Line, looks like no alternative West Central.
Dollis Hill, I'm new here and nt playing fair
Welcome Software - to make a move in bold try putting it in dohingy HTML things. HTML stands for "His Masters Voice Language" as it was designed by Richard Branson for operating the old ZX 80 Sinclaire computer games. For example, this <b>Dollis Hill</b> when typed in will come out like this Dollis Hill. Which leaves me to make my move. Erm, Dollis Hill.
Blue touchpaper, Dollis Hill, retire.
St. Dollis Hill (see previous move). Tea/Bun ratio now at 2/1. Twill set to green. Blue token optional.
[rab] I've checked with my financial advisor, and apparently my pension stocks aren't anywhere near enough for me to take early retirement.
Invoking a reverse cycle (the 4th Finsbury option, I think) and playing St John's Wood.
...which I believe requires Ongar for complete effect.
[Lib, GIII] Horrah! Now let's sort out that annoying LV hole at Bank by shunting rab to London Bridge after playing Neasden.
[Boolbar] Thanks. Thwarted my battleplan...
Throwing a Manx Kipper in the arena, I play Cornaa.
[rab] That was the point :o)
Elephant and Castle
Okay! I play Castletown.
Almost a week and no move in the long game?!? Hoping to spice things up with Ealing Broardway.
Mill Hill Broadway
Tooting Broadway - smoking Puckoon's kipper.
Fulham Broadway oblig.
Broadway-Lafayette St.. Sorry, My LV jumped, and now I'm in New York.
Dagenham Heathway
Holloway Road
Hanger Lane
South Kensington
South Ealing [Boolbar] Kippers are smoked anyway... least-ways those from the Isle of Man...
[Puckoon] What! An Isle of Man kipper! That leaves me with no choice but to proceed directly to Finsbury Park.
Clearly, it has to be Turnpike Lane
Trying not to be caught at Blackhorse Road
You were caught, by the Angel (fish).
Leading to a rather flat "Plaice"tow
Eeling Broadway. Jellied
Bugger. That means we're stuck at Dollis Gill.
No we're not. Not if I'm right and can play Goldfish Green.
Forces me to Whiting City
Hammer(head)smith
Nicely closed... Charing Cross, rectifying spin and declaring home at Goodge Street. It's nice to flex the old Html muscles again!
Ooooh! Northwood Hills.
Pimlico declaring all puce tokens void.
Rules out an early Jansen's Shift from Pimlico then...
I think I'll play Parson's Green anyway, though it might trigger a cascade.
If it triggers anything it'll be an improvement. Things haven't exactly been moving fast... Golders Green
whats'appening? Vauxhall
There's a slight vibration on the Circle, Hey Presto! Tower Bridge.
That spurges me then. Chalfont & Latimer.
Ye gods, it seems to have spurged everyone else too. Perhaps it takes a new player (to this game at least, I don't think I've moved in it before) to get us going. Totteridge & Whetstone - can't go wrong with Allbright's.
JLE] Nice to see you back around. As a mark of respect, I'll resist re-spurging at Cannon Street and bi-furcate to Shoreditch / Dollis Hill.
What's been started I can't stop, don't have enough tokens to fix the situation so will just weather the storm.... Dollis hill/ Dollis Hill
Barons Court / Ongar, for two different kinds of denial - Attacking and Orthodox.
Whoa, JLE, you've put me way off balance as I enter! No defence, oh dear! I think Prince Regent and Royal Albert may help even things - and, with a little luck, take the heat out of my declaration of home Royal Victoria.
I'll flick out a dusty podume to unify by Grumve's Second at High Barnet. It's unorthodox and raises the spin to 3.45, but I think that's mainly counteracted by Dujon's entry.
Ugh! I've been spun! Highly impressed by Dujon's entry as it happens, but I'll leave my personal life out of this! Kensal Rise with apologies for week-old podumes
[AP] It's not how old they are, it's how you use them. Woodside Park!!! knobbling Tuj for 5 green tokens.
Forced to pass then, aren't I, to pay them!
Woodside Park from Kensal Green? Traditional, aren't we? Cornered me onto the Northern Line though, curses... Hendon Central and that should block any flying nidders.
Ah, the Cheriton-Ropley block. Angus] You forgot the Metropolitan intersection - you can't avoid niddlers. Ladbroke Grove picking up a very pretty Hammersmith and City pink podume.
Arnos Grove, sideways.
Essex Road vertically with a slight limp, depositing puse podumes on the way. [Bob] Do you mean nidders or niddlers? I wish to clarify, because I was under the impression that niddlers are supremely easy to block, and only used in the infant version of the game. Their appearance here would only serve to cheapen our efforts.
Pimlico (quietly).
Anything but Pimlico! I'm stranded at Alperton of all places - for 5 moves!
Four Wents. Need I say more?
[Angus] I believe that was Five Ways (just south of Birmingham) until somebody blocked one of them and shifted the game into the past tense ;-) Seven Sisters, but not with a Septimus Divergence.
Threading (and treading) warily. Bank, which should waste what otherwise would have been a jolly good lunch break. I hope it's not a holiday or I'm in too deep and have no chance of picking up the small amount of input that this would normally afford; still, I suppose I could always toss down the hat and sing for my supper!
My first foray into the MC5 long game sees me playing my traditional opening move by declaring home at Croxley
[Huxley] Now that's unbalanced me somewhat. I'd best retreat to Cockfosters and replot.
This is the opportunity I've been waiting for, that allows me straight into Covent Garden, closing the gap to the right with three red tokens.
[Inkspot] This isn't a game of Baker Street, you know. East Ham - since I don't have to play West.
Alperton/Alperton, highly unorthodox and could cause trouble. Enough about me, the move was quite naff too.
Great Portland Street.
Did I just usurp someone with GPS there? How do you get your characters in bold? Master of the Underground...yet defeated by the age of technology...sad, really...
JLE] I hope Prof Plum is not watching this. And it's my turn again!
Bayswater[Blue Bananas] Just type in < b > < / b > on either side of your move, only without the spaces, IE, < b >Bayswater< / b >. When you submit, it will tell you if you forgot one of them. Anybody correct me if I'm doing it the hard way!
Brondesbury Park Thankyou!
[boolbar]Didn't mean to tread on your toes there. Ongar permitted.
Very well. I controversially plump for Pimlico
Not that contraversial. Vegard was partial to it in similar situations. Fulham Broadway
East Finchley with Fireworks. If my claculations are correct then this makes all green tokens wild and all other tokens must be forefitted........ But If I'm worng then I fear that I'm in Knib. Hmmmmmmm.
Alperton. Looks like knib, I'm afriad.
bzzzzzzzzzzt [Tuj] Are you allowed to go to Alperton again so soon?
[Tuj] Hang on, ignore that, I just read back! Apologies.
South Kensington
You know, I haven't done this in years, but I'm going to hop on down to Oxford Circus. What happens to my green tokens now, do I still need them?
Twas knib was it not? Better hang on to them until we have a referee's decision on that. But while there isn't one around, Russell Square
*cackles evilly*
The problem with entering a mid-game at Croxley is that a Knib can domino across the board and set you up for a good ol' fashioned spooning. Fortunately, I moved to Ongar (with permission) and am somewhat protected. However, it will cost me a podume and I am stuck here until the Knib is revoked. *Farkle*
Dagenham Heathway with a triple Helsinki.
You swine!
Wapping. I love's a good wap.
Epping I've always been partial to a good epp.
Barking. So I'm told.
Pudding Mill Lane, prasmotically so.
Spindrift Avenue and no more puddings from Blue Bananas. They've gone off.
That was the yams, wasn't it?
