Might a fellow make a late start? Ashton's Rule, exception to the Antithesis Precedent of Interdimensional Instability In Irregular Invitations IIV, Indcidence number three, paragragh four, subsection C-1236.9 of June 1903 and all that.

BLORGHCH HURF HARF! What a bounder! HUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRCHGHCHGHCH!

Our poor chairthing appears still to be choking on the steam and smoke from Met. No.1's outing to Farringdon Street a few weeks ago. To clear my own lungs from the smog I'm playing to Chesham in the hope of finding some fresh air in the Chilterns.

Sir/Madam/housestaff,

Having considered all my options and imbibed sufficient quantities of malt (Glenmorangie 15 yr.) I consider the following response appropriate:

Chalfont Road

In trust the Ladies are not to distressed by such a demanding move. I am also taking suggestions for which malt should adequately follow the Glenmorangie - I have most available yet remain strangely undecided. I blame this on overly tight elastic and a curious lack of talcum.

Yours felicitously and in perspiration,

L.H.

Well, in the absence of a reply, and not wishing to unduly tax Mr. Chairthing's poor steamed lungs, I shall go ahead and make a start at Elephant & Castle. Depositing one ham sandwich on rye and a silver token, of course.

Actually, I'm not acting chairthing for this round, but I'll take over if the good Captain doesn't show up. Rules set for this rubber is the now obscure 1888 Imperial Coronation edition, published to celebrate the rise of Victoria's grandson to the German throne. Circle line is slowed to half speed, and intersections are declared bratwurst.

James Harrison · « **Reply #105 on:** February 25, 2013, 07:24:19 pm »

Excellent choice of rule set there; this should be a very interesting rubber.

Lungs cleared, I'm heading to Amersham as an opening gambit.

A very cautious move to Cannon Street.

Stealthily advancing to Borough.

I rather like Old Street it's definitely correct under the rule of Gaudeamus Igitur in the 1899 variant

Crossing the diagonals, dropping off two purple tokens and submitting myself to a double shunt to play to Bank.

Blowing the dust of the signs and the rule book with the help of a fluffer gang I find myself arriving at:

Canary Wharf

Time for one of my patented curveballs™....

Woods Siding.

I'll just leave it there a while... see how long it takes people to work it out

elShoggotho · « **Reply #112 on:** July 20, 2013, 08:20:17 am »

There's a bylaw with the Imperial Coronation edition which specifically allows for military parades to appease the Prussians. Should no further move be made, we shall have an extremely boring parade.

With how long this game is taking between moves, we'll have time to dig a ship canal and have the navy do a sail-by alongside it

In order to p*ss of the Prussians, I therefore make my move to Rotherhide

James Harrison · « **Reply #115 on:** July 21, 2013, 06:47:17 pm »

Good.... move.... hmmmm.... yes, a very good move.

I now play to Farringdon...

Taking advantage of the beige ticket I swapped for that fake puce token for, I flash it at the guard and find myself at Blackfriars

In that case, in another bout of arch-caddery, I thwart your plans by changing trains at Bond Street

Due to overly enthusiastic Prussian soldiers marching around, Marble Arch is declared sauerkraut for three turns.

Leapfrogging the Prussian soldiers (carefully) and avoiding arch cads .......... Oxford Street

Ooooh Regent Street. Nicely played. *tips hat*

Especially well done as I have been spun around thrice deosil by a cadre of witches accompanying the Prussian soldiers I leapfrogged earlier.
I now find myself in nip and exiled to North Harrow for two rounds
