Anyone fancy a game of Mornington Crescent?

[The Large One]

It's the second Thursday in February, which means we're playing the Wimbledon Common Variable rules. In short, you can go underground, but not overground.

Today's start - NEWBURY PARK

Rue Montmarte - dunno what i'm doing, just don't want to be left out

Beginners luck, what a sensational move! I have no other option now than to play with Turnham Green

My understanding is that you CAN go overground on the Wimbledon Common Rules so long as your on the DLR and therefore Wombling Free. So Isle of Dogs for me.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Even novices know that you can't refer to Wimbledon Common Variable rules as Wimbledon Common Variable rules in the same year as a Royal Wedding. You have to call them St James Park variable rules.

I'm outing you as a hustler.

 

[seagullwedgee]

mmmmm, that would mean you've employed the reverse pimlico manoeuvre, and that can only be done if you have already passed with an earls court interchange.....

Oi, using the Spirit of London (Apparition Version) Rules, at least choose a station that bloody EXISTS.

 

[Badger]

Are we playing House of Commons or House of Lords bonus plays? I'm going to assume commons and hit you with:

Baker Street

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Baker street is far too close to get a good run up so lets bring it a little south (as it is in the afternoon):

Bond Street

 

[Amahwrang]

oyster card and rushtons wednesday variant permitting I'm going Osterly

Bond Street

Ah the invocation of Bond Street immediately springs the Cubby Broccoli variations upon us, so I rather obviously give you Hainault.

 

[Spider]

Why does no one ever confirm whether or not the Montague Doubles Ruling is in operation BEFORE starting the game?

I'm going to take a bit of a risk, and possibly rely on a bit of a bluff, but if it pays off I think I'll have put myself in a cracking position -

DOLLIS HILL.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Interesting fact about Dollis Hill, it never existed before it was built!

Anyway in keeping with the great tradition of this game...'for those that will; Hill. For those that would; Wood'

WOOD LANE

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Ignore double post

 

[driller]

I am going past double post and onwards to morton wells as it is a wet thursday

 

[Easy 10]

Well I'm going to bring in my Reverse Dutch Variant Joker on this game right now - a little early I know, unorthodox perhaps. But the reasons behind this maverick strategy will suddenly become abundently clear when I reveal to you that I am going to play....

BETHNAL GREEN


Take that.

 

[Albalbion]

I'm going to say i havet got a bloody clue what is going on here and this is hurting my head

bye

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I am gonna need some clarification, can you swap on a Reverse Dutch? I understand that all Variations (jokers or not) can be played on, before or after the second session of an Eastern Round but have we moved onto a point-to-point session already? If you can swap on a Reverse dutch then:

Putney Bridge

If you can't then we should revert back to a more simpler version and thus:

Colliers Wood

 

[Everest]

Sorry I Haven't a Clue how to play this, so I will leave you with this
