No, but thepurist almost did.
Stick with it alpin, there's some quality play going on here!

Down the escalator!
bollocks! I was two moves away as well
Chancery Lane, carrier pigeon all the way to Vauxhall.
CF, mmm. From the angle, I think you will find that's a lift not an escalator, so not sure it counts
Oh damn i was almost there too.
CFH - I thought you had it there, but you forgot about the Swedish inversion prerogative.
Therefore - Swiss Cottage
Ooooooh mind the gap we're off again!!!!
Russel Square - stitch that!
Damn! It is a lift there as well, isn't it.
Apologies, everyone. Carry on.
Whoah this is getting complicated now!
Game on!
[b]St Johns Wood[/b]
If we are carrying on then the Russel objection of 74 can be used due to the Captain making an erroneous final gambit.
Southfields
Sorry to intervein at this point but i'm unclear as to whether we are sticking to the 'm25 orbital protocol' - amature i know, apoogise again.
Gives me a way back in...
Willesden Green.
No, hang on - Willesden [b]Junction[/b].
(Though I might regret it.)
M25 orbital protocol applies only when going anti-clockwise, surely..?
if we arn't i'm going to invoke the uxbridge sanction - that should scupper any of the plans you have on the picadilly line pigface!
M25 orbital protocol does not apply unless there is an R in the month
Heathrow Terminal 5
your right again CaptinMainwairing - in which case i have no other option other than to play.....................................................................
wiat for it........................................................
Edgeware Road! Yes!
Actually - M25 orbital protocol is only played when double zoning is in play. Grimaldi protocol wins the day if post summer WWII rules apply and then only when the Bethlehem variation applies which I believe it does here.
I could be wrong though.
Finchley Road and Frognall - weren't expecting that were you?
shoefiti, since you spiked [b]my[/b] Edgeware Road with Finsbury Park, I could take that personally...
But I won't.
Kensington Olympia.
Curses scuppered by that dang Uxbridge nonsense, I could object but feel it would ultimately be a waste of time. Good work Shoefiti.
Going the Picadilly route is always a bit high risk you need to call Mainwaring on Terminal 5 a school boy error.
Damn it i'm out - i'll have to wait for emabankment to come round again.
Ah ha! I knew you would fall for it. I invoke Stovold’s 2nd amendment to the standard convention (1972)(abridged)which means
Mornington Crescent!
Pigface, you might call it a schoolboy error, but you only looked at the obvious. The subtelty will appear and you, sir, will be hoisted by your own petard
Turnham Green - Hah
Damn and double damn. You go off to actually do some work and look what happens
Why oh why can you never find your copy of Jacobsen's guide to the amendments, protocols and sanctions when you need it? Still, I've only got the 17th edition so it's probably hopelessly out of date.
Anyone know if Islington is legal yet, or do I have to wait until a prime number of moves have been made?
brace yourself
[B]THE O2[/B]
Mainwaring Terminal 5 falls outside the Heathrow decision of 82. If you haid said 1 2 3 or 4 it would have been a move of genius. I dont think Terminal 5 has been assimilated into any of the Post WW2 rules. I think it will go the way of the DLR to be honest.
won't somebody think of the children.
Especially the children in
Boston Manor.
The day has an [b]r[/b] in it so M25 orbitals can be seen but not heard according to my Stovolds 15th ed.
Aha! Found it - and it appears Islington depends on a Fibonacci number rather than a prime. As you were people.
So are you saying my move was invalid?
Canary Wharf, while I too wait for Embankment.
edit: SilverPig - not invalid from here
silverpigeon - well yes, surely you don't need an explanation, do you?
Out of time, gotta go.
Damn I thought I'd played a master stroke with Finchley Road & Frognall, but see I'm out of my league here.
How embarrassing 😳
It's both as you put yourself in nibb (not nidd) by coming via Swiss. You win if this isn't wrapped up in 100 moves.
Stovold’s [b]3rd[/b] amendment is the key here I believe.
Anyway, I'm reversing into Royal Oak.
I see. Fingers crossed that nobody has the courage to play the Hugo 2nd Stratagem then. I'll have to sit it out and see
Cutty Sark - any news on Embankment?
