Indeed, JLE, our friend Thrax is proving to be somewhat hyperactive. Thus, me being an aging fuddy duddy, Old Street collecting a pensioner's card and twenty free senior citizens' podumes on the way. The fact that they are dusty and somewhat fragile makes no difference in the right hands.

Dollis Hill again.

Since everyone is determaned to slow this game down andput me in a nut shell, here is me in a nutshell:
name: Michael Clauser(yes my initials are mc)
gender: Male(i think)
Location: indiana(USA)
Favorit science fiction commedy writer: the late douglas adams(like there was any other choice)

Since the title of thismatch is new game, i believe we must finish this gamewhile it is still new. with that i call forth Team Rules and request thrax as my partner if he will have me

Nice to make your aquaintance, Michael. My real name's Adam, by the way, or Adz to those who know me. Check here for more info on me, under the pseudonym "Anthrax Whirl" - a name I used to call myself back in the halcyon days when myself and others convened for bouts of MC at Mr Wild Pants' Mornington Crescent Server.

I must confess I heartily share your appreciation of the late great DNA, a master of the sci-fi/satire genre. Pleased to learn there are folk Stateside who share a love of his works, and also that of MC.

However, I'm not sure that Team Play is permissible mid-game, my friend. I think that's something that has to be arranged at the start. Moreover, I'm going to be taking a few days' absence from this site, beginning tomorrow, as I have family commitments, I'm afraid. However, I'll be back soon, and would be more than happy to take you on as a wingman or apprentice upon my return, if you fancy.

Anyway, returning to the game, for this move I obviously have no choice but to play Dollis Hill, since Darren has been once again wicked enough to begin another "Dollis Hill Loop". Darren, Sir, you are far more sinister than I originally conjectured. I shall be keeping an eye on you.

Dollis Hill - well, you'll find my style of play has become somewhat sterner since my ticking off in the Lockisseum for trying to win games too early!

Agreed, this game has barely begun, and is just warming up. Dollis Hill.

seeing as how the last several moves have been verry empty, i stomp on the ground three times while swinging a beaver above my head, we all fall into the giant sinkhole and if renaming stations was alowed we would all be at the bottom of Dollis Pit. try to claw your way up the walls if you must, there is no escape.

Dollis Hill but retrograde.

Confounded business this. Dollis Hill.

good move Boolbar and thrax concidering there is now little elsware to go but Dollis hole in the ground and i shall draw three cards.
hey thrax i visited your profile and thanks to google there is one more person who abso-bloody-lutly knows what tmesis is.

Entering with a typical Ongar, and home at Goodge Street.

[Tuj] Thanks. So on to Waterloo (Waterloo & City line only).

Boolbar] Which forces me to play Bank - curses!

Now that Dollis Canyon has been filled in with lemmings i can move to Elephant and Castle and get this game rolling again.

Keeping up the momentum by spooning at Aldwych is suitable, as it leaves the Metropolitan in knid.

If the Metropolitan is in knid, then Tower Hill gets me a beige podume.

On the other hand, St Paul's could have got you a golden podume, which is now mine! All those in knid are now reversed and have to play with their feet. As opposed to playing with their feet, if you get my meaning.

Oy! Watchit! A bloke's having a quiet sleep and you do that ... so, Bank dropping a grey podume and a few grey hairs in the process.

not knowing what a podume is, i will Farkle, and destroy all remaining on the board.

Sorry, Snagandorf, but the grey podume I dropped negates that move (for your information, sir/madam, it effectively drops leaves on the line - I warned you earlier that they are dynamite in the right hands - and allows at least two more moves, either of which could easily side-step your dastardly ploy). Anyhow, just in case, I'll straddle to Monument.

then i shall take diagonal roads all the way to Holland Park where i shall yell at a tree untill it falls over dead.

Ongar for the obvious reasons.

Knightsbridge, making the classic combination.

And the classic antidote, Royal Oak.

it is time for the three cards i picked up earlier. i play Jack of Clubs which is of course trump, Jean-Luke Picard from the star trek card game, and Arcanis the Omnipotent from mtg. with these three men i shall pick up the Royal Oak i knocked down, and use it as a battering ram. look out comi'n through. we end at Liverpool Street, destroying all track to the south.

In that case, I'll open air routes with Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3.

Defence is the better part of attack here, methinks. Shoreditch.

[Dujon] No, a strong offence would make the better defence here - Arsenal, mayhaps.

Ha! Declaring smoog on the first quadrant. Ickenham.

i shall tap Arcanis to draw three cards... Ha!Profesor Plumb in the Ballroom with the Candelstick. Snaresbrook for the warbling defence.

No further defence is valid. Sloane Square. Black-hole tokens on Snaresbrook to demolish Snagandorf.

you have forced me to play the card that was sitting on the table the whole time, Wild Draw two. the color of the hole is now green, i escape narrowly losing all my posessions and my dignity. I shall now sit on the corner with a cup asking for spare change.(down but not quite out, any help would be appreciated).

Embles, Goraj the Mighty! declared and the Quick! Grab His Kneecaps card played.

This seems to have mutated into something other than MC. King's Cross St. Pancras, although illegal, forces a legal MC move to invalidate; thus requiring a return to MC.

Euston and i believe your move was invalad because we are in smoog.(sorry about that i was just in one of those moods)

[Snagandorf] Only if you are in the first quadrant. Will was in the second so the move was valid. Oval - playing power cut on the DLR.

Blackfriars then.

Although the smoog explanation isn't accurate, King's X was specifically invalidated by reason of the implicit one-station block from Uncle Corky's Royal Oak play earlier. It was valid UNTIL the Euston move, as I pointed out.

Well, as that is only valid retrospectively I'll continue with Shaft!, Sandbags At Dawn declared.

Angel and only thrax can stop me now

[Snagandorf] I think you've overlooked something.
Sudbury Hill putting Snagandorf in knid and shunts all tokens on the circle line one stop clockwise.

E gad you'r right, Oxford Circus and the game is running strong.

Amersham, and a silver podume on Westminster to police the southern approaches.

Oxford Circus shunting Snagandorf - one khaki token on High Barnet to army the northern approaches.

Heathrow Terminal 4. Playing Spoon on Darren, and jettisoning him to Blackfriars. Ha! I'm so wicked.

Ha! Parsons Green en passant.

I'm still not convinced that this isn't just another game disguised as MC, particularly as the name suggests originality. Hotpoint, il led rosso declared.

Blackfriars (thanks Thrax). [Tuj] The title, as I see it, simply implies that this game is to MC sites as "New Song" by Howard Jones is to synth pop. Thus, we won't crack up, bend our brains, see both sides, and throw off our mental chains, woo woo woo.

Wow! You have been busy, though by the look of it not very productive. So, Green Park for a breath of fresh stuff.

Darren] Fine... be that way! Neasden.

Temple. Be what way?

Drat it! I see you were already at Blackfriars, Darren. Curses. As always, there's usually one tiny flaw in my evil, machiavellian schemes. Reminds me of the time I attempted to conquer the world by shrinking the planet to the size of an indigestion tablet and swallowing it with a sip of water. I ended up miniaturising the shrinking device and enlarging the glass of water. And worse still, despite gulping down all the liquid after swallowing it, the shrunken shrunking device did indeed give me ingigestion. Oh, cruel irony!

Back to the drawing board I suppose.

Trafalgar, for ten.

Dollis Hill and let the loop begin

Dollis Hill, naturally.

Hmm... Dollis Hill, maybe?

Neasden to break the loop before it threatens to bore us all to death. DH loops are SO last century.

[Chalky] Still using Neasden? You ought to go with the in crowd and try Osterley.

[Bob the dog] i think you have the wrong game(but we will accept that move). i watched a moment of golf yesterday so Wimbledon.

I told you this game had undertones! Plank, Little Jimmy denied.

Berkeley Square. Prizing all laterals to 45 degress, and raising LV by 12%. Stand well back if you're squeamish.

Glasgow. You leave me no choice.

Going North - Ultima Thule

Forcing me west to Times Square.

We're playing a little outside the usual local boundaries aren't we? So be it. The Smaller of the two Magellanic Clouds.

Hellas Verona, for obvious reasons.
