Mornington Crescent

[Mvann]

Liverpool street

 

[Mojo]

Hendon Central

 

[Eagle]

Still stuck in Blackfriars here (and really reluctant to be sent to Nidd, although it's probably still sunny there... :roll, so by the 1987 Second Edition Haworth Projection System I'm permitted only to go to other closed stations unless there's an R in the month.

Being as it's June, Down Street.

 

[Buttsy]

Dollis Hill, though i know I could get stuck in the Dollis Hill loop if I'm not careful.

 

[RyanB]

Walthamstow Central

 

[OxtedL]

Vauxhall

 

[AlterEgo]

Stovold's to Turnham Green, shunting.

Is that Piccadilly or District?

I'm gonna take a shunt around the obscure and say he meant Piccadilly. In which case Bank

 

[Buttsy]

Ouch, only one move from there. FAIRLOP

 

[causton]

Ooh, that's a tough one! I'm going to do a 2007-style diversion tactic (don't want to give much more than that away) and head straight over to Seven Sisters...

 

[OxtedL]

...Seaford...

 

[Eagle]

Nice move. You are aware, I'm sure, that after the 34th International Mornington Crescent Symposium's report that Sussex termini are to be banned effective the start of the 2012–15 season. So get in there while you can.

In that spirit, Uckfield.

 

[causton]

Even Brighton? I didn't know they were banning all Sussex termini! Don't know if I can play this anymore

Oh well, I'm defeated. I'm going for the STARMOASW rule (I'm legally obliged not to reveal the acronym to those not in the know) and going for Hitchin. I think I can get it, I'm closer to the prize than it looks out there to you guys...

Well I'm going to invoke a Nidd and lay an offside trap by going to Hounslow Central. It's a northern approach but if I've calculated right it wipes the next three players into Nidd - so it's a worthwhile loss.

That's thrown them...

But not as much as if you hadn't warned us what you were up to - someone would have jumped straight in otherwise!

I'm working on a respose to that but I may not be the first.

 

[Buttsy]

Surely there is one move from here that negates Nidd, but it depends on Stovolds and Merchants not conflicting with Albrighton's

I like the way you're thinking.

 

[causton]

I'm thinking Cro... no, never mind. I don't think I'll be getting out of this one. Come on, someone else make a move, I might be able to redeem myself just yet!

 

[Deerfold]

Risky, but...


Kensington (Olympia)

 

[OxtedL]

No. You missed the cross bar and slipped past the vice-lateral. Easy to do though. Sorry!

I think Wandsworth Town would have been better.

Oh ****.

 

[Buttsy]

Ooops, I think Deerfold and OxtedL have put themselves in Nidd with those moves.

 

[Eagle]

Longniddry.

 

[ollyrogers]

It was a good game before Lord Knaresborough stuck his nose in!

Kensington definitely a vice-lateral and deserves punishment for falling into my trap!

 

[Buttsy]

Eagle has put himself in Nidd too.
nice trap Olly.
I think I can play this based on the last move and using Festival rules:
MORNINGSIDE CRESCENT

 

[ollyrogers]

Can we have a ruling on incorrect spelling?

 

[Buttsy]

Can we have a ruling on incorrect spelling?

Morningside Crescent is an Aberdonian street, so actually not a final move...

 

[Eagle]

WHAT?

Do I have to stay in Nidd or can I pop over to Harrogate on the bus?

 

[ollyrogers]

Morningside Crescent is an Aberdonian street, so actually not a final move...

It was more the spelling of Crescent first time around that got the audience's shackles up

 

[causton]

I hope you all know why Morningside Crescent has significance

(if not, 'There were versions [of Mornington Crescent] in Slough and Leeds, as well as one in Scotland, played during the Edinburgh Fringe arts festival (where the name was changed to "Morningside Crescent") ')

Is bus travel allowed? Well I'll go for Croxley Green like I was going to before, now I know where my cards can lie... if not, I'll have to wait until if the Croxley Rail Link opens...
