Mornington Crescent, or, Journey up the Northern Line

[duke o' york]

Piccadilly Circus, to call by Savile Row and be measured for my MC victory suit (that, at the rate things are going,will never be worn ).

[Solomwi]

Embankment.

[duke o' york]

Interesting. By my calculations you've induced a north-south lateral through Charing Cross, which ought to make things interesting for Cort and Spike, especially given the ruleset we're using prevents the Killingbeck Squeeze.

[Spiffor]

Aldgate East, just to get a symetric starting position, and the three solid silver tokens that come along

[Cort Haus]

Just back from a heavy night at the pub (wd the pub) and I can only come up with a defensive reverse-duplex nibble to consolidate at Arnos Grove

Not actually too bad, under the circumstances imo *hic*

[Naked Gents Rut]

I see no one is familiar with the old gambit I'm trying to revive, as I've been allowed to move uncontested to Tottenham Court Road, picking up a turquoise and sepia token en route. The real fun begins next turn.

[Solomwi]

No, NGR, it's just that we remember the 1937 Mombasa Open, where the fatal flaw in that gambit was exposed. It only deserves as much attention as it takes for one player to move to Warren Street, which I'll now do, shunting you laterally to Marble Arch and securing half a dozen plaid tokens for myself.

[duke o' york]

But at the Winchester Pro-Am in 1945 (or was it 1946?) Lord Alperton showed that by moving to Grange Hill, it was possible to reverse the Woodford Loop to generate both LV and blue tokens while putting the Warren Street player in nid.

[DrSpike]

Nibble Nibble Nibble Neasden!

[Cort Haus]

By cashing in three tangerine tokens for a violet, and combining that with a sepia, I'll execute a district-line felch to take me to Temple

[EPW]

Do you mean "filch" instead of "felch"?

[DrSpike]

No, a filch would take him back to Arnos Grove, ensuring that he would be filibustered for the next three rounds. He has played correctly, if a little unimaginatively.

[duke o' york]

Mornington Crescent empties my reserves of tokens and reduces my LV to 0, but hell - I can make a double celebration having just passed my final acc(o)untancy exam. Er, woo!

[Spiffor]

Wow, you sure took us by surprise here Congrats!

[Solomwi]

Double congrats, duke.
