Anyone fancy a game of Mornington Crescent?

[Easy 10]

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

It doesn't matter either way, because my Bethnal Green didn't cross the Northern Line south of Euston, so the reverse play joker would just cancel itself out. Obviously if it did then you'd automatically have gone for Gloucester Road, forcing me to accept Barons Court, or double all the way back and end up around Blackfriars (at best).

Thats why I played it so early.

PLEASE since the secret unification of both Reverse Dutch and Double Dutch variations Jokers have to be played after a station begining with the letters a thru b and thus your turn is voided unless you have a london bridge copy of the metro in your possession which i seriously doubt

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I am slightly clearer now that i understand you didnt cross the Northern Line, very very sneaky Easy 10!!!. I have seen a copy of the London Bridge copy of the 'METRO' so will play:

Bronx Park East

So hang on. Where have we got to now? It seems as though the joker use has been challenged, in which case we're at Colliers Wood. In which case I'm going to pull a fairly suprising move out of the bag and go with a Zone 1 Skipping move (all will become clear soon):

RUSSELL SQAURE

Easy 10 why have you not used the "first post on page 2" edict and played the carte noir allowing you to leap directly to chancery lane and stopping all opponents using the escalators

Not wishing to be play the stupid shunt.... Borough.

I was under the impression we were playing the original version of the game rather thab the internet rules - I believe Mornington Crescent aficionados rejected these rules some time ago - they're far too complicated.

 

[Amahwrang]

oh.... I'm off to colliers wood I might not be back

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Someone to my right has to go as i called Colliers Wood...this is getting exciting!!!

 

[happypig]

As I'm playing on an expired oyster card, I'm going to have to hope this will be enough :

Cockfosters

 

[Titanic]

All this parallelism is worrying me... let's put a stop to it right now... High Barnet.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

ooohhhh....High Barnet!!! You Northern Line aficionado!

The Lord Grace of Tooting and Marlbourgh III told me how to counter a Northern Line cross track move, he said 'always play a Duke, son, always play a Duke'...

Warwick Avenue

 

[Titanic]

Stylish... but predictable... and you fell for it!

So, with a flourish, we head for Royal Oak, and the next player misses two turns!

 

[happypig]

A Battleship ? On a thursday ? Easily countered by Canada Water

 

[Amahwrang]

Serg If we are playing the original version and not tinternet rules then calling colliers twice is allowed after Russell Square following a anti clockwise circle line play I'm still doubtful I'll be back though

 

[happypig]

Yep, in your slipstream round Hyde Park Corner and you're out !

Anyone fancy a game of Mornington Crescent?

No.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Invoking an unusual but perfectly legitimate bonus play introduced by Maurice Chevalier's late batman Syd 'Legs' Muttonchops, I give you:

Oval

 

[tottenhamseagull]

WTF is happening here?

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

WTF is happening here?

Well....

The Large one called Newbury Park, Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews didnt want to be left out and called Rue Montmarte. We all thought that was beginners luck but Notters clarified that you can go overground on Wimbledon Common Rules and called Isle of Dogs. There was some reference to the Royal Wedding renaming the current game rules to St James Park rules. We then went on a good run: Baker Street - Bond Street - Osterly - Hainault - Dollis Hill - Wood Lane - Morton Wells and Bethnal Green...and this is where i got confused because of the reverse Dutch played by Easy 10 and called Colliers Wood to make it easier on all of us.

It then got a little difficult for a beginner but Amahwrang got slipped streamed, and we are at Oval at the moment.

Did that help?
