View Full Version : Mornington Crescent!
It's becoming a popular game online now! :D
Lets start a game here at SubSim!
We'll use the Bollback rule set, with Cross-sections out of play.
I'll start with Marble Arch
Here's a map if you don't have one! (Tous droits routs not on this map :cry:) http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/travel/downloads/tube_map.gif

Can someone PLEASE enlighten the uncivilized? :dead: Please do not bother the players by asking for rule sets etc. Read the first post for the rule sets we are using.
Keep the topic on-topic so no one loses track of the game.
Thank you

We're allowing tube strikes then? :-?
"Herne Hill" has a national rail station only. I know that. I have been there.
So I skip the "Hill" and come up with "Herne" (North Rhine- Westphalia), line 306 from Bochum where I live.
Don't you guys know the old saying:"All roads lead to Herne"?
Look at the map:

Well, I thought we were operating on the 2004 version of the Bollback rule set?

Sorry, it's been a while since I played :oops:
Well, if the strike is over then I'll cut you and DanD off at....
Baywater
My options are getting thin :(
*edit* Bays water - Central line ;)
Ooooh, you are getting desperate....I reckon we could have Mornington in two or three here...
Well, I think I'm going to move to the place where all services go to die, or get changed, or turned around, or moved, or break down...
Earl's Court.

:lol:
That could be any station in London!
Anyway, Im wavering my prerogative and staying with...
Baywater :roll:

I don't have the nerves to play this. I'll just go with:
Richmond.:roll:
Have mercy.
MORNINGTON CRESCENT
Are we asleep at our keyboards? You fools left it wide open!
Shall we play again?
Damn...I thought I could get away with it...but that's what gambling's like...you win or you lose.
Drinks are on you fatty!

Right...let's play again...same rules? Or shall we try using the amended Elephant & Castle rules (the 1945 abridged version)?
awwww! nice one fatty. Great win! :up:
I might have got in there if I wasn't frozen.
The amended Elephant & Castle rules (the 1945 abridged version) are fine by me as long as we allow layering. I'm not starting this time tho.
Layering's good...it'll help the beginners play too.
I'll start the game off then with one I've been to many times:
Dagenham Heathway!

Woops. Sorry
As the trousers of doom gently fray through the inevitable spinner of the tartan cheesecloth economy cycle, the real question here is where is the lovely Samantha? And who will tally our scores or other unmentionables in her absence? :hmm:
Stepney Green.
AH HA! I've got you now! You ready for this? CLAPHAM COMMON. The Crescent will be mine soon enough...

Is that a dubble-back move?

Close. It's an up 'n over. According to the Nottingham Addendum to the 1954 edition of the Official Rules, they are pretty much the same. But we are playing with the Bollback rules, which gives a slight variation for both.

No! We are not!
See the top of this page. We are now useing the Elephant & Castle rules (1945 abridged version)

Thank you, thank you. I am quite familiar with Bollback, particularly the inversion condition that allowed me to sneak in at the end.
E&C 1945 is another story! Jeez, you guys sure have left me in a tight spot...
Arsenal
Edit: hey, I'm a watch now!

I believe with E and C it gives a slight variation for both as well, so the Up 'n Over is still legal. I'm stickin' to it.
Fiar enough! :-?
I'm not gonna make a argument about it.....
Royal Oak
Shepherds Bush
Does that mean I can jump?
I suppose it all depends on how fast the train is moving and the bravery of the individual concerned :)
but aren't there two shepherds bushes...? the lucky devil
I hate to go with the cheep-shots, but........
Hatton Cross
I see crescent in 5 moves! :D
Not so fast mister!! :dead:
BANK!

Ok. I will have to force it by using "The Rocket assist Loxley long bow gambit.
Chesham!
Nice to see so many American players! :D
NEON DEON - the point of the "Rocket assist Loxley long bow gambit"......actualy the point of any gambit is to fool your opponent. Telling me that you are employing that gambit is only gonna lead me onto the Russfield attack and I'm not going to reverse the flow and fall for the gambit!
Have you played the E & C '46 rules before. :-?
Hanger Lane It's not a gambit.....honest! ;)
Hanger Lane It's not a gambit.....honest! ;)
Is that old Albertson's Hammerhead maneuver I see? That one sure takes me back...
To counter, I'll go with PINNER. It's the only counter to the old Hammerhead that puts you in such a tight situation. Hats off, nice try. :yep:

Ahh! But how do you know I am telling the truth? ;)
Have you ever seen the movie "Little Big Man"?
"Don't go down there Genera!l"
or even better: "The Princess Bride"
"Inconceivable!"
And yes I have played the E & C 46 rules before.
I am suprised you fell for my ploy since those very rules outlawed "The Rocket assist Loxley long bow gambit."
In short. I LIED!;)

:o:o OK, I have no idea what you are doing now.
I bow before your superior double bluffing.
I darn't even make a move right now....
*edit* This is my state of mind, this is what you have done to my brain:
