Anyone up for a game of Mornington Crescent?

[wellinghall]

Original rules; mainline stations are wild.

I'll start with ...
Baker Street

I'm fond of the Paxman Gambit, so I'll have to go with Shepherd's Bush (H&C).

Agh! You've put me in nid!

I've no alternative.

Aldwych.

It's got to be Morden (where the shadows lie...)

[romancinger.livejournal.com]

Picadilly Circus (always liked the circus)

[the-marquis.livejournal.com]

Green Park

Can you do Green Park on a Wednesday?

Anyway, assuming that's OK, I shall say Aldwych.

[tree_and_leaf]

Aaargh! I've just huffed myself!

*ponders*

Canning Town.

[sigisgrim.livejournal.com]

No, no, no; you should have done Elephant & Castle. E&C is always best after Aldwych.

This might - or might not - explain it:

Ugh, DLR stations. I know they often lead to a win, but even so.

Chancery Lane, I think.

[parrot-knight.livejournal.com]

It's an Underground as well as a DLR station, and was mainline too until December 2006. Sic transit...

I know this would normally be In Quod, but mainlines are wild... so: Euston.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

What? Oh - sorry - it's my turn, isn't it. I must have been asleep there.

So ...

*thinks*

Dollis Hill.

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Oh dear.

Dollis Hill.

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Aargh - no - I mean Barking.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Dollis Hill :-)

[beam-engine.livejournal.com]

I have a cunning plan....Victoria!

[helflaed.livejournal.com]

Sorry- didn't work- Dollis Hill again

[beam-engine.livejournal.com]

Damn you! ;)

[shanith.livejournal.com]

I'm sure thats not allowed. Using Tottenham Court double track rules that surely darn bad taste if not to the letter of being against the rules. I insist you take Victoria back, otherwise I shall appeal to humph to place you in indeterinable nid.

[beam-engine.livejournal.com]

very well, I will retract my Victoria for Notting Hill Gate which should be allowed under the special Elephant and Castle (1991) extention rules.

[the-marquis.livejournal.com]

Are we there yet?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Oh very well ... Camden High Street.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

It's a bit cheeky of me given that I started the game, but ...

Mornington Crescent!
