[Closed] Mornington Cresent - post flood rules

[b]Bakerloo[/b], avoiding the diagonals which could cause nip, but using arm flotation devices.

Leigh On Sea.

Taxi to [b]Victoria [/b]

Taxi?

I remember when that was considered unsporting.
You people disgust me.

Chalk Farm, with eskimo roll.

I saw some reprobates loitering around Baker Street and got scared. Won't happen again.

[b]Embankment [/b]

Rowing my way over to [b]Bayeswater[/b]

Wasn't the transportation of [i]eskimo roll[/i] discouraged under Mortimer's Variations on Nidd...

Take the drain to [b]Bank[/b].

I don't have a problem with an Eskimo roll at the start of a game. Scuba to [b]Tower Hamlets[/b]

Osterly & Spring Grove, by bathyscaphe.

Dragged by the coat tails of a Politicians Barbour to Camden Lock. Which is shut.

Waterloo to Egham

Walk from the station to the Floods

Invoke the 1934 amendment for overland travel out of Zone 6

Good work.

Bus replacement service to Colindale. Charging my Oyster card at Hoburn, obviously.

You know that the escalators aren't working at Embankment = no interchange!
Therefore - Boris Bike to Strand.

[b]Holburn[/b]?! I therefore invoke the the 'Princess Louise' sub-measure. Submarine to [b]Mudchute[/b]

At what point will CFH claim 'in Nibb' (when the rest of us who actually play the game all know it's "in Nidd" 🙄 ).

In a simple - yet many of you will no doubt see as highly strategic - move: Arnos Grove.

Sidefact: Arnos Grove was briefly renamed Anal Groove in a disturbing turn of events during the late nineties.

[b]Denmark Hill[/b] by long ship.

Penge. Up the back way.

Using a zeppelin to get to [b]Clapham Common[/b], taking tiffin while on the way.

Oi!
Adam, you have to go up the junction if you're playing Clapham Common.
So you're in Nidd.
See the well known Difford v Tilbrook game of 1979 for clarification.

I'm safe with Park Royal & Twyford Abbey, which I THINK may be untrumpable as 2014 isn't a leap year.

You can't invoke post-flood rules in Mornington Crescent - there are no floods in London.

[b]Camden [/b] by train!

Stop, stop, stop. Hold the game.

Brooess may have a point.

Floods are inside the M25 and in Zone 6

Continue Game

[b]Heathrow[/b] Terminal 2

Park Lane but exiting the tube backwards on a pogo stick.

What in the name of God is going on here?! 😕

Totteridge and Whetstone, obviously.

Totteridge and Whetstone, obviously.

Too obvious I'd say. Personally I'd have gone via Bank without stepping on any cracks in the pavement.

Blackhorse Road 'the hard way'

Didnt have Zone 6 in 68 or 72 so I have no idea what rules we are playing under.

From what I can tell we are still at Heathrow T2 in limbo. (Which is also T1 & T3!)

So T1,T2 & T3 to Piccadilly Circus

From what I can tell we are still at Heathrow T2 in limbo.

really? I thought we were nearing Paddington on the overground.

Plus you lose 6 points as Heathrow didn't have T3 in 68.

Quite right and no zone 6

So.....

Wildcard. '68 Map Grid Rules

[img] [/img]

EF5.8 to B9.7

EF5.8 to B9.7

Overground or underground?

Overground or underground?

Neither in a flood situation.

[b]Tooting Beck[/b]

sack that, I'm going to flip it and switch it with a funiculus intervention: Emirates Air Line to [b]Royal Victoria[/b]

Overground or underground?

Has to be [b]Wimbledon[/b]?

no Wombling on Wednesdays.

Plus it's almost low tide so Tooting Beck is out of bounds and only offside diagonals are allowed.

Is the DLR playable?

Is the DLR playable?

Only with a full set of [b]heron quays[/b]

Whitechapel, it's a Ripper of a move. Damn I get to miss a turn while there's a clean up.

[b]The Hague[/b] monuments score double

Aren't you forgetting Spring Tide revisions circa '72 sub clauses: Monuments surround by water are strictly forbidden unless approach from the DLR backwards carrying a goose.

Dammit. I have the '70 rule book. That's my goose plucked.

Kings cross. Ha!

Covent Garden. Lifts, not steps.

Lifts not to be used in the event of flooding flashy

DAMMIT!

Plus it's almost high tide so the whole thing will be submerged till May.

may i join in?

By my calculations - and assuming the '44 "Blitz Spirit (Falling Buildings are Fair Game)" amend has not been superseded - alighting at Holborn should be a master stroke.

Late in the game and depends on your move but yeah

may i join in?

Do you know the rules?

70's ferret smuggler rules isn't it?

Do you know the rules?

More specifically have you completely digested the relevant tide tables from 63 through to 81?

fully conversant up to 84. its been my lifes work.

Up to 1984...

I have, they were delicious.

Anyhow, Brondesbury, the hard way.
Get out of that and stay fashionable.

Who's going to tell him?

Meanwhile - WapPING!

Oh this is getting silly.

For Gods sake someone could of won this on page 1, now you are just meandering. Could go on for weeks.

i feel like I've just accidentally walked into the womens toilet instead of the gents!

If you can't stand the heat.....

Wapping?
Don't bluff a bluffer Flashy, I'm playing Croix Rouge, pre Occupation.......

May I please remind you of the moratorium of 74.. .

cockfosters

Wind your body, wiggle your belly
Dip and go down in a new style-ee
Wind and go up, wind and go down
Bobble and a rock to the new style around
Are you fe line it up
Are you fe wind it up
Edgeware Road

Pah is Edgeware Road the best you have?

Northwick Park by horse drawn carriage.

Covent Garden has planned engineering, so I'm thinking rule 7, section 4 base scheme rules, followed by a quick switch to Picadilly

Northwick Park by horse drawn carriage.

you're getting too cocky with your subversive tactics - take him to the Scrubs by order of the Master Controller (aka Dave).

May I please remind you of the moratorium of 74...

I don't see how that could affect the game as it stands. It [i]clearly[/i] only applies north of Highgate.

Strutting to Stratford, BTW.

FFS, if you lot aren't taking this seriously, I'm taking my Bradshaw's home and you can squabble amongst yourselves.

Unter den Linden, by Fokker.
Have at you!

Brompton Road 😀

Ah, I appear to have been compromised......

Ludgate Circus?
