Mornington Crescent

[Spamalot]

 

For ease of reference I have included the midtown section of NY subway as I don't know all your emails... now am I allowed to get a bus from JFK or do I have to get the train?

[barracad]

Fenchurch St.

 

(Ideally from a strategic point of view I would have liked to have moved to St Pauls but, of course, that would have been in breach of the slipping rule)

[sillygirl1]

Shall I get my friend in Finland to send me a map of the Helsinki metro since you can get to there from Heathrow Airport (Terminal 2 I believe...)

 

I would now go to Dagenham East

[Spamalot]

Can I go to WEST HAM from there or do I have to go to Upminster..

 

I don't want to breach any slipping, skidding topsy turvey toenail rules so I'll abide by your decision and if I end up NID well so be it.

[HSBCrusher]

I dont have the foggiest of what the hell this is about.

 

not unusual for me?

I didn't think you could use 'overland Stations' like Fenchurch Street 'cause there's no tube connection....wouldn't you have to walk round to Tower Hill or Bank?

It's a legal move, the Einstein/Tchaikovsky rule of 1963 covers it.

I have it on good authority that in Trumpingtons Variations of '65 the move was pronounced illegal under the Bonaparte/ Humperdink Rule.

 

Therefore I move to Finchley Central

Hang on a minute. I strongly suspect that some of you are just making these rules up, then naming random stations until somebody says 'Mornington Crescent' and wins.

 

Really, people. I'm frankly appalled that this ancient and honourable game - arguably the sport of kings - is so tarnished with this shoddy and disgusting behaviour! What good is a ruleset if you don't keep to it!? It just makes a mockery of the whole game!

 

And I'm not the only one who feels this way. I've received a letter of support from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales. She writes:

 

"Dear Yoko Ono. Is it true your name is Japanese for 'One Egg'? Sincerely, Mrs Trellis."

 

And she goes on:

 

"PS: Tell that nice Mr Tezcatlipoca to move to Elephant & Castle."

 

So there you have it. I hope you all feel thoroughly ashamed of yourselves!

[Spamalot]

"PS: Tell that nice Mr Tezcatlipoca to move to Elephant & Castle."

 

So there you have it. I hope you all feel thoroughly ashamed of yourselves!

 

The rules in Wikipedia say that anyone who follows Finchley Central must puff on their cigarette and say 'Shame on you'

 

Whilst I admit that the comment 'I hope you all feel thoroughly ashamed of yourselves' is akin to the sentiment 'Shame on you' it is not exact and therefore I pronounce your move to Elephant and Castle illegal and must return to Finchley Central.

...and Spamalot, being new to the game, falls neatly into the trap of attempting to push a reverse move from a Northern Line station (in this case, Elephant and Castle), allowing me to redirect to any Northern Line station.

 

Now which Northern Line station to choose? Hmmm...tricky. I think:

 

Mornington Crescent

[Tezcatlipoca]

Perhaps Spamalot, who appears to be getting the hang of this, would care to start us off in the next game?

[Spamalot]

Unfortunately for Tez, Mornington Crescent is closed today so everyone has to get off at Camden and walk.

 

Double posted.... ok....mmmmmmm

 

 

Acton Town

[Tezcatlipoca]

Acton Town, hmmm? Interesting start. Ok, let's take it to Bank.

[Spamalot]

A small hop skip and a jump to Mile End

[barracad]

In that case, I'm going to move to Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"

[Castlebest]

Is that in Stoke by any chance?

[barracad]

I don't believe so, no.

[Spamalot]

The Offside Outside rule of 1968 states very clearly that books must be turned upside down and sat on before being used as train sations on the Metropolitan line... the next stop therefore can only be

 

Turnham Green (something my cooked meals are prone to do. )

[barracad]

Old Street

[locutus]

32 Brent... and I think you'll find, THATS NUMBERWANG!

[Spamalot]

Numberwangs cannot be used on a Friday with a J in the month so I'm afraid that move is null and void.... you must return to

 

Old Street
