My fault? How is it MY fault? HE said monument. Fine, if you want to get all huffy about it. Violation of *frumple* indeed... Seven Sisters Standard 1904 A&M rules that. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. hrmph  |

Not adhering to the ruleset, making a move clearly in violation not only of the rules, but contradicting a direct advice from the chairthing (in this case, me)... I hope you have a good explanation and a healthy supply of tokens, Baron Adhemar. You'll need three red tokens for your *frumple* violation. The 1888 Whitechapel Addendum allows you to colour other tokens in the usual way.

We seem to not be going in any sort of order, and no one has yet moved to St. Pancras. Such a thing is most bothersome.
Did I miss something here?

Down Street, an awkward move as it wasn't opened until 1907 and was closed in 1932.... Assuming that we have access though,...
Caledonian Road.

This is an utter confusion to me.  Thus, I would just like to step out to Baker Street. |

Baker Street? Baker Street?
In that case I have no option but Victoria.

Which leaves me in a rather awkward spot...until I employ the Cock Fosters double indemnity rule (see Black and Friars classic work 'Variations on a theme of commuting: The Cock Fosters double indemnity rule as a means of extricating oneself from the District Line, published by Fable & Liar).

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

I'm afraid the line in question in this case is the Northern Line.

Looking good so far, but I'm afraid that if nothing world-shaking happens, I might need to declare "Mopsy" during the next two turns. Good for the Northern Line players, but what about the rest...?

Oh god, not Mopsy. It was declared once, in 1907, and the riots lasted for four days.
I'm going to put a flowerpot on my head and execute a transverse occlusion to PADDINGTON, as sanctioned by the Comittee in 1910.

Hang on, didn't I get severely tweaked yesterday for using post 1904 rulings? I'll ask for an adjudication, please, Mr. Chaircreature... I'm going to put a flowerpot on my head and execute a transverse occlusion to PADDINGTON, as sanctioned by the Comittee in 1910.
