Here's to Humph

[Solomwi]

Now that the dust has settled a bit, I see that the path has opened to Kentish Town, though it's probably too little, too late.

Alas Kuci, shunts are forced - they don't just open up a la the more simplistic US ruleset.

You failed to notice that my move to Green Park disallowed such a gambit, but it did leave me the opportunity to switch back to Aldgate East, which may be pinch-hitting at its very worst, but as the nightwatchman here, I think is allowed. So four brown tokens into the duke coffer, and Nudd's Variant applies across the board!

Alas, but Nudds' Variant only applies to areas outside Zone 1, leaving me to alight at Mornington Crescent

The US ruleset may be more simplistic in that sense, but it is clearly more complex in some respects, which Gerhard's Teal gambit clearly shows. Furthermore, the Chicago variant (which found its zenith in 2005 at my humble school) permits some very complex tactical shunts, such as Garfield Park to Ashland.

Damn you guys you don't seem to care about Spiff, but I do - I'm going to Down Street to see if he is stranded there

[Krill]

Guys, we're waiting on a new game to start; I ought to do it as the previous winner, so...I think we should try Reginalds' reverse shunt rules along with the Full International Passport rules.

So, as runner up would Duke like to restart the game?

[Solomwi]

Well played, Krill. Well played, indeed.

[BlackCat]

No way - Krill has failed to obey the french rule - that is to be/find Spif. Actually, Krill should be punished severely for not obeying this rule. I suggest that a tribunal confirms his execution.

[Solomwi]

Oh, and I'm on board with the proposed rules, though I think we should stipulate to the Underwood Cross-variant, as well, just to avoid confusion if someone gets stuck on the northern parallels.

[Spiffor]

Seeing the good company here, I can only enjoy joining the game. While I'll do a fairly simple and very French move by going to King's Cross St Pancras. Just to arrive correctly on the Perfide Albion, and to remove a bit of my rustiness.

Duke'O'York found me, and should be the one getting the three Freedom Points.

[Cort Haus]

Woo-hoo, Spiff!

I'm hopeful that you, sir, will at least stick to some civilised variant of the rules that operates within the parameters of the traditional scenario. That is to say - the London tube map.

Some people here have been stopping at all sorts of outlandish stations. In some cases they might even be made up. If we're not careful people will be going to places like Winnipeg or Guadeloupe.

Anyway, I shall follow your excellent move by travelling to Arsenal

[Solomwi]

That makes Vauxhall a no-brainer, for me then, doesn't it?

WB Spiff.

[Krill]

Tottenham Court Road, and don't spare the horses Welcome back Spiff

[MikeH]

I set up such a great opening in the last game and then forgot to play my next turn. Stupid.
