Conference govt02::basingstoke

I've always thought Marble Arch a fairly dubious opener that neither attacks or
defends. You are obviously a central line zone 1 fiend.

So in repost :
		
		BOSTON MANOR

(advantage me??)

larry

Oh for Goodness sake Larry if you go and fart about away along the Piccadilly
Line this game could go on for days. I bet your one of these people who take
two hours to move a pawn in chess.

Ok, if you think you can control the game by getting a hold on Heathrow
(Don't think I don't know what you're up to!), then try this for size.

	EALING COMMON

Dougie

most games of MC should only last a day or two at the most. 

But that doesn't take into account Larry Wiltshire tactics. I hadn't
reckoned on a long meandering Zone-5 game.

Dougie

Just because in the Em Seas series of '85 a good tactic was to annexe the 
piccadily line it doesn't always work and grouping around heathrow allows for 
a degree of safety.

But if thats the way you want to play it :

		MILL HILL EAST

you're on your last legs me laddo!!

I'm now convinced Ongar is valid since it is a PEAK hour area only, and
its only 4:07 just now. But we'll let it go.

Back across the terminus to, 
	THEYDON BOIS

Dougie

God, if I was moderator, I'd set this topic nowrite.

Oh my God, I am!

So, is someone gonna tell me the rules, stop pretending you know them, or
shall I set this topic no-write!

You must enter the name of a station on the London Underground.

the first person to name Mornington Crescent is the winner.

There are no other rules.

Dougie

T-1 day. 

    
    Re; -1
    
    When I saw first saw this note I thought it was a complete waste 
    of time and disk space.... but after reading the rules....
    
    Now I'm sure it's a complete waste of time and disk space!
    

    To get back to the game ....
    
    My natural inclination would have been to go for Kings Cross, but the
    escalators scare me shitless so let's move down the road a bit
    to:
    
    EUSTON
    

VICTORIA?! You Cannot be serious! That has so many links to other
lines you've blown the game Wide Open!

Easily gives me;
	VAUXHALL

Dougie

OK,

I'm not going to risk being a spoilsport, by saying the M-C words, so I'll
plump for Turnham Green.

Mark.

After seeing Vauxhall and Victoria in following notes I'm beginning to suspect 
some illegal/unofficial allegiances here. Firstly I'd like to put a stop to it,
but in the spirit of competition I'm prepared to take you both on 

So:

	TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD!!

larry w

well, someone said there weren't any rules !

Right Mr AlfordJ,

Trying to monopolise main line stations (victoria and waterloo etc) is in no way
going to give you an advantage. However, I think you're trying to blind us
with this, to what you are really up to.....

Anybody who has studied Hughie Heavup's playing policies will know what you are 
up to and what your next move is ...

So:
		DRAYTON PARK

Now what are you gonna' do!!

Dougie

Well Larry, I'm a bit suspicious about that one. I couldn't find
Drayton Park so I phoned up British Rail Underground (071 928 5100) and
the man had never heard of it. 

Eventually he found it, - ON A BRITISH RAIL LINE! Its on the bloody
Waterloo and City Line RUN BY BRITISH RAIL. (you look at the key).

Which, as most of you know, forfeits Larry's move, giving me a complete
advantage. Once we eliminate Drayton Park, I can backtrack throught the
escalotr link to MONUMENT FOR BANK.

But hang on - it doesn't stop there. I play my advantage for someone
else's cheating (you know the rules Larry, London Underground lines
ONLY!). By changing at Embankment I get, you guessed it ....

Just before you start congratulating yourself about getting there dougie, 
consider the fact that its is actually on the underground map and although
an incorrect station it does not allow you to impose the penalty clause.To back
this up consider Em-Seas 86/87 championship semi finals of whittington against
dickens when he to made a similar mistake but no penalty could be taken.

So, its not over yet....

larry w

Larry, don't talk such nonsense. You were caught with your trousers
down and YOU KNOW IT. I win - fair and square. I'm not prepared to discuss it.

Dougie

	Are you sure? The last time I went on the Waterloo & City line (known 
as The Drain to regular commuters) there were only two stops:
	1) Waterloo
	2) City (Bank actually)

Re: .19

Who are you calling Mr ?????

waterloo was perfectly valid...it's a station on the underground !

It was the generic "mister"....honest

I've been lent a book written by two members of the Swedish team who
won the MC world championship cup in 1986. They say that to revive a
flagging game, one should always seriously consider a move to...
