Am I the only NSC'er who has absolutely no idea what the bloody hell any of you are going on about?
You seem to have all been intensely studying your London A-Z's, but I can't make any sense at all of what you're actually doing with the information you've gained from them.

If you really don't know how to play, try here. It explains the game, and you can play against the computer to get into it.

Eh? MC is as famous as chess or backgammon isn't it?AlexFrutos said:
Yeah it's a bit like the panini football stickers thing really whereby somehow you always know which of the 600 stickers you need and what swaps you have. Once you start playing, you realise how easily the tube map sticks in the mind and to be honest that is CRUCIAL when playing this game as it gives you a massive advantage. There are several manoevres worth learning too. Brovian taught me "the truddle" and to be honest I haven't looked back since.AlexFrutos said:

This is a minefield of a game this week. Never known anything like it. Hasn't been this exciting since the inception of the now-classic Fenchurch Traverse Apogee manouevre back in 62. They still talk about it now.DTES said:
I going to use this afore-mentioned Friday Midday subrule (clause 4b) to its best and fullest effect and say... Theydon Bois.
Not bad! Before Pevvers spaddled me I thought I was going to go 'Cockfosters - Mornington Crescent' under one the 1970 Australian rules, but that apparently would have been a breach of etiquette!Trufflehound said:
BTW my 'Isle of Wight Ferry' move (see P2) WAS illegal. Apparently when Cryer tried it it split the Mornington Crescent Society wide open and after much fierce debate it was ruled illegal. I am hereby disqualified, consequently I'm off down the pub.
Come on Sussex!

We seem to be losing track of the game (a bit of a shock to discover that there were rules once!!!)

It's definitely high. But what an idiot I am.
White City.
ROSM said:
Of course it's high - there's been over 20 moves!
Anyway, back to the game. It's far too late, and I'm too tired to think more than 3 moves ahead if I don't bring it more central, so I'll use Foyle's Trident Rule, and move to:
Barbican
