Let's play a game of Mornington Crescent

[big ron]

Knaresborough Interchange

 

[Bladder Wrack]

Theydon Bois

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

PENGE WEST

 

[Inner Smile]

What even is this??

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Stratford INTERNATIONAL

 

[Kate]

All Saints

 

[Inner Smile]

Lucille is absolutely my fave person on here now (Jark used to be but he's blown it)

 

[Inner Smile]

So what am I meant to say now?

 

[dzjermlaw]

It’s not really a case of what you’re meant to say. There are maybe half a dozen very strong moves that you could make based on the exact position of the game. For a new player, I’d probably steer clear of the interchanges and, whatever you do, make sure that you avoid the DLR.

 

[Inner Smile]

i dunno what you are on about sorry

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Gallions Reach

 

[Madison]

I’d like to castle - swap West Ham and East Ham.

 

[big ron]

I’d like to castle - swap West Ham and East Ham.

Haven't seen that move since the 1986 World Symposium

 

[octophone]

Haven't seen that move since the 1986 World Symposium

Yeah, and we know how THAT ended.

I'd better avert disaster and go Canada Water. Again.

 

[dzjermlaw]

I believe that Madison has left a small weakness in his formation which can exploit with Bromley-By-Bow.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

I think I'm ready to play Silvertown.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Fuck it, I’m playing TURKEY STREET.

 

[big ron]

Yeah, and we know how THAT ended.

I'd better avert disaster and go Canada Water. Again.

18 dead.

 

[octophone]

18 dead.

That's way less than 1986. Sorry, did you think "The 1986 World Symposium" took its name from the year?

 

[Ellie]

In that case I’m going to play the walking distance between New Cross to New Cross Gate

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

In that case I’m going to play the walking distance between New Cross to New Cross Gate

Fuck. If I knew you had that up your tunnel sized sleeve I'd have wipped out the stairwell at Covent Garden.

 

[Ellie]

Fuck. If I knew you had that up your tunnel sized sleeve I'd have wipped out the stairwell at Covent Garden.

I think we have a winner!

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

I think we have a winner!

Sadly I can't collect the prize because my legs have gone numb from climbing and my nerves shattered due to fear.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Is Victoria Coach Station still banned from competitive play?

 

[Kate]

Sadly I can't collect the prize because my legs have gone numb from climbing and my nerves shattered due to fear.

This has triggered some traumatic flashbacks for me and so I'd like to hold my position using Tower Gateway while I compose myself.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Is Victoria Coach Station still banned from competitive play?

Sadly, yes. Preston is now the only competitive coach station.

 

[Bladder Wrack]

Denmark Hill

 

[Kate]

What about Stockwell Bus Garage?

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

If I could be so bold, I think I'd like to play the destruction of the Euston arch. A contentious offering I admit, but an undeniable truth.

 

[Madison]

Cyprus

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Girls I’m putting the signal failure card into play, alternative bus routes are worth double for the next 5 turns.

 

[dzjermlaw]

You’ve played into my hands there. Camberwell Green.

 

[Kate]

Oh excellent. Cambridge Circus.

 

[Madison]

It’s a trap. Do not play Warren Street.

Sneaky cunt.

 

[dzjermlaw]

Ah, but the trap only works if they can go on to play Tottenham Court Road and if they do that, they’ll be devoured by the Crossrail vampires.

 

[Madison]

DO NOT PLAY WARREN STREET

 

[Kate]

Is Madison bluffing? He might be plotting a Harringay Green Lanes Gambit!

 

[Ellie]

Is Madison bluffing? He might be plotting a Harringay Green Lanes Gambit!

Madison does not appear to be bluffing. It’s a sneaky Zone 8 masquerading as Zone 3 play. Therefore I see that play and raise you:

Dollis Hill

 

[Madison]

Thank fuck for that. Seriously guys - can’t you see what Kate is doing?

 

[Madison]

Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich
