More Long Game
help
There has to be one of these, doesn't there?
arrow_circle_up
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?
Alperton, threatening a Grumley shift.
*farkle* threatening no-one.
An immensley threatening Clarence Gardens with glow in the dark podumes and a flashy platinum token to boot. As long as no-one employs the backpass trump manoeuvre, I can get to MC in three.
Down Street, using aforementioned backpass trump manoeuvre.
Bugger. Onslow Square then, and hang the expense.
Can I infiltrate Fairlop into the equation, here, using a combination of Maxwell's bifurcation and an anticlockwise loop move? (By the way, how do you do bold?)
Ken simply follow this example <b>Paddington</b> = Paddington but as you know, it would unwise to play that move at this moment in the game.
But while I'm here I'll pick up a couple of blue tokens, just passing through.
[html] Distinctly. Pinner superceding Ken's bifurcation with the Lombard Manoeuvre, last seen in the world cup final 1992.
AP]Quite and a manouvre made increasingly less used since the HP2000, but Plaistow should strech the envelope a bit further.
As Angus didn't declare which Paddington, I think I'd better be safe and play Edgware Road / Edgware Road.
This looks like a good place to join in, since the Warwick Variance is acceptably low after Tuj's Double Edgware. Aldgate, and declaring Home at Bethnal Green.
Aldgate East, declaring power failure at Whitechapel.
[Tuj] I didn't say paddington! (well I did just then, but that doesn't count) Anyhoo...Dalston Kingsland 'cos I'm feeling rebellious.
Tower Hill. Circle Line Clockwise
AP] Never mind, did no-one any harm.
Bromley-by-Bow, as a last resort to try and avoid a Kanskiy Lope.
Tuj] Thereby advancing JLEs power failure across the whole of the District line and putting me in Knip. However, I approve - anything to avoid a Kanskiy Lope. Stuck at Monument.
Declaring can't see the wood for the trees with a larch at Green Park.
In that case, Cyprus to counteract Boolbar's larch
Aha! Baker Street!
Dang! Bob the dog's knip is transferred to me at Covent Garden
- Freeing me to do some shopping in Brick Lane. Shoreditch and I claim the Green Podume that Riff had his eyes on.
Damn, too slow... Stepney Green to open and Oranges and Lemons loop.
Charing Cross, being the station nearest St Martins (Martin-in-the-Fields)
Bow Church praying someone has some turquoise podumes!
Hey, I needed that! [Shakes fist at BtD]
Um, Shored- no, not enough LV... King's Cr- no, that'll put me in Spoon... Periva- no... pass, dammit, pass!
St Pauls being the nearest to Old Bailey
Ah-ha! As I currently have 4.5 turquoise podumes after avoiding the Kanskiy, I can ghost to Praed Street.
Pass.
Very good Tuj, but you forgot the Cromwell Bypass Leap. I therefore collect a wealth of grey podumes at New Bond Street
Whence to Dollis Hill
[Prune] I assume that those of us with pacemakers are still exempt from attack by the Cromwell Bypass Leap, or was that changed in the Health Act of '94?
[ZK] '95 actually, but otherwise acurate. Dollis Hill and damn you!
Hillis Doll, invoking a temporary Boardman's.
Indeed! Extremely temporary! Dollis Hill.
Dollis Hill Are we nearly there yet?
Not until I move extravagantly towards Dollis Hill, and I can't help feeling someone owes us a move.
I feel, Ms Keeper, that you got us verily into this mess, and verily should the burden lay on your shoulders to get us out again. I shall Dollis Hill once more, before I feel obliged to steal your sienna tokens
If I could suggest anything but Dollis Hill I'd gladly help. And keep your mitts off my tokens, it took me months to earn that last one.
Dollis Hill... Maelberg Variance up 3/8ths... nearly there.
Right then, you give me no choice. Neasden it is, with one sienna token swiped from ZK for causing all the cafuffle in the first place.
I plead insanity.
Nonsense. If you were insane you wouldn't be sane enough to know that pleading was required. Regents Park, raiding ZK's obvious Home while he's out, for one silver, one teak and one osmium token.
Fine, but on the King James principal I'm claiming the teak one back, and while I'm about it, on to Mansion House
Green Park as I'm in a genial mood. Oh, and a couple of ash tokens for me, I think.
It is nice to play with people who know what they're doing - I've seen some amateurs on The Weakest Link, really, they just keep shouting Bank all the time. No style.
[ZK] Chuckles... Was that a move, or just a passing social snobbery?
Bank! forced
Oh alright, we'll take it as a move... Rayners Lane
Covent Garden. JLE, have you nicked my cadmium tokens too? I can't seem to lay my hands on them.
No, that was me, I was feeling sneaky, and you weren't looking... Osterley. Obvious I know, but it's late...
Hammersmith!
You swine! Erm... Maida Vale, putting at least three players in spoon.
You'll never spoon me! Er, put me in spoon, rather. Aldwych using the Old Lines principle. It is almost Remembrance Sunday, after all.
[AP] Sorry, I'm all in a quandry. Am I in spoon?
No, I think you're alright. I played Maida Vale too close to Remembrance Sunday, and all the poppies have cancelled the spooning effect. Whitehall with a wreath and Nimrod playing in the background
In that case, Barons Court, calling to mind Sandy's Bona Crescent strategem of 1966.
Oooh, that allows me to sneak in a quick Hackney Wick. Remember 1959 MCWC?
[Boolbar] Ah, if you remember it, you weren't there. I remember Adlestrop, though. Highgate, cemeteries wild.
Cemetery Lane then, in deference to the great Inigo Sanchez, Mexican champion 1923.
I play a Bounding Gambit and opt for Belsize Park, hopefully with impunity.
Not with me around. Lancaster Gate with slate podumes towards Kentish Town.
Well, avoiding Kentish Town that leaves me tagging 2 green 'uns at Hampstead.
