What! Don’t you know that CHILDREN can see these posts!?
Well, since I’m currently in France, and it’s the right thing to do strategically:
Waterloo.
I know it’s pretty obvious, but I’m going to have to play** Bank** again (**Saint Cad **surely has an easy huff otherwise).
I doubt Saint Cad would fall for Denied Huff Gambit, not after the Spring Series '08 games.
I think a quick stroll above ground to** Monument **would open up some stations traditionally closed on Sunday, and provide a little bit of cover in case Wargamers generous token gift has some Trojan qualities to it.
Not that I am suspicious.
No not at all.
(Whistles innocently past Precambrianmollusc)
West Acton.
I would respond to those attacks on me, but then that would do nothing to advance my nefarious plan.
Not that there IS said plan. As far as you know.
Oh. Stirrups declared. Heheh.
Royal Oak.
I think that’s right.
Goodness, I haven’t seen a game as willy-nilly as this since the Pretoria friendlies of '08. Still, given that there are still tokens in play, I’m playing a zone-border defensive move and hustling over to
Bromley-by-Bow.
Unfortunately, everyone knows the Pretoria Friendlies were stricken from the record, and the notes burned . I suggest you review your last issue of Northern Line Journal.
Your faux pas is my gain. If I play this right, I’ll avoid the District Line Loop.
Temple with eagles on seven.
Just as science appears to be witchcraft to some, a finely layered Miscobeaien Crossrail play could be construed as willy nilly.
That said,
Oval
“Finely layered”, ha! Couldn’t have been much more obvious without actually mentioning Whimperley himself.
Anyway, enough of your shenanigans, let’s put an end to that with an authoritative, Baker Street.
This has got to be some of the worst strategy I’ve ever seen played since Phillip Sidney was given the Cambridge Classic almost by default in 1932. It almost like all y’all Brits WANT the American to beat you. So as I don’t disappoint you, Barons Court which now locks the next 3 turns into choosing stations from Zones 4 and 5. Have fun at Heathrow. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I see I’m not the only one who doesn’t turn his nose up at the Indian scene. (Ramapriya at Bangalore in '04, right?) I respond with Watford High Street, and let’s see you try to get back to the dargons now.

Good Lord, I go away for a few days and return to find carnage! I’d forgotten how dirty some of you guys play (and of course I mean that as a compliment). I’m going to run away to Amersham, a favourite outpost of mine, and await developments. I will say, however, that those of you squabbling over the tokens may have forgotten the Petrov Principle. No, I won’t quote it here as it may be NSFW.
Amersham?!?!?!!
The soul crushing tedium of that play can only truly be represented by the actual soul crushing tedium embodied in the place of my counter play.
Pinner I say to you sir

To which I can only respond Wimbledon, and that has to be the first time since 1948 that the Olympic Torch clause has been invoked, subsection 3.1.1 “Dense Crowds”. Clockwise stations are in Nip for three turns and you may not Traverse. All that and the five-point bonus too - that was a generous gift, you archaeozoic lifeform you. 
That was an unexpected play, but there are classic counters in the literature. Stanislav would say Epping is the correct next move, but given modern rush hour retrictions, let’s go with Theydon Bois, and I pick up three.

I’ve had a letter from a Mrs. Trellis of North Wales.
Dollis Hill.
And with that, as long as we aren’t forced into a Loop, I think we can bid farewell to the early-Early Game and move into the Mid-Early Game.
But we are in stirrups, Nip and traverses denied, seams to be a very hardline precriptive view given the Jubilee dictum.
In the interim I will be stuck here in Pinner lamenting my impulsive move, I seam to have a blindspot for Brunswuthers 6th.
Drat. My eagles and the stirrups have created an unholy situation. Per the Westminster conference of 1935, I’ve been forced to miss my connection.
