Might be too late to catch me. We’ll see.
Rayner’s Lane. Blocking Metropolitan trains towards Uxbridge with a shunting declared.
Aiiee. I see I’m slipping here. I meant Tower Hill, and since the two stations are connected, I was–naïvely perhaps–assuming that they were topologically equivalent until departure. Well, with no cards, no green tokens, and only one transfer allowance left, I’m nearly in knip. I’m pretty much constrained to the District line until another player proforms a shunt or deadhead transfer.
Earl’s Court.
I’m sorry, Peruvian bears are no longer legal in MC, as of the 2007 Quarterly Supplement.
What is the bear doing? You may be able to claim a companion fare.
Camden Town. (Zone 5 to Zone 2 at no cost, using the Lost Travelcard Exception).
SDMB play has always included the DLR, with or without Tudor Court rules. So Sunspace’s move stands, IMnshO. Fortunately, there’s no uncertainty in legitimate moves. But I’m not so sure everything Bricker claimed to do would hold up.
And now I see that furryman has a bear. That could put a major twist in this game. Assuming the bear doesn’t cause a station closure or a platform flash mob, I’ll steal a play from JohnT and move Wood Lane. I swap 3 tokens for a prism.
Lions and tigers and now bears, oh my!
Mile End
Appreciate the nod, but it wasn’t a play, merely a question. I’m nowhere near good enough to play in this game. :eek:
So is there some reason the 2007 Quarterly isn’t in play? (And I should have mentioned that it was the Fall Quarterly - sorry furryman). I’m sorry to dwell on this, and interject into this marvelous game, but I was disqualified in a local match based on the Peruvian bear exclusion and I’d like to know if I went wrong in my arguments.
Oh, you were referring to the Fall Quarterly. I had the Spring Greater London 2007 Quarterly Supplement on my mind. This was the first ruleset to include “flash mob due to a bear” as a separate case from “flash mob in a station.” I shouldn’t be too surprised that the fall supplement excluded Peruvian bears, especially after the Paddington/Victoria/Waterloo incident that occurred just after the spring supplement hit the stands. (shudders at the memory)
After Wargamer’s last move, I have to play long with Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich. Again, the DLR is in play under SDMB practice. So I pick up a bonus ticket for the long station name.
Well, that worked out better than expected. I can back-switch and transfer to Canning Town.
I really must protest the use of the DLR, but them’s the rules.
Moorgate
Euston.
Hillingdon.
Ruislip. That puts us into the Ruislip constellation, and increases the chance of a taxi-ride to West Ruislip. Not that I’m suggesting anything.
Ruislip Gardens Loop card played.
Darn, into the knip again. Maus Magill just torpedo’ed my late mid-game position.
Pinner, knocking Maus Magill onto the bar by hitting eir blot.
You get a free brass token for the best username/post combo in the game, for a start!
In what ruleset is that allowed???
