The archetype that Mornington Crescent descended from was the ancient Saxon art of "Brycche Yclept Swyve", which featured the careful moving of farm-loads around a network of long-established cart-paths, while avoiding getting bummed by the Vikings.It introduced the concept of blood-feud and 3-round pillaging, which (of course) still shape some of the more classically agressive plays.

In a homage to my ancestors, I play Paddington. Anyone crossing this path in the nest circuit will be required to switch to Middle English or allow free play-through

Laz, you're froked and cannot play Paddington while the nest circuit has 2 signal failures in the current thurn. See Hamilton-Neuburger 5.33.12 section (iii).

However, Baker Street would be legal for you.

Hilarious. "Nest circuit" was a typo- I was actually meaning to type "next circuit".

Which means, of course, that the Paddington move was completely legit, and thus Mornington Crescent is mine.

Another game turned through spacky spelling.

What an interesting opening move. Unorthodox, but what to do expect from the Germans, who are known for their unorthdox ways. In fact, I'd say that move ranks up there with the famous German pornographer Gerd Pantzdoner who would, as irony would have it, proposition young Mornington Crescent players to star in his movies. Ecthy has indeed studied (uhem) at his knee.

Good God! Can anybody not see that Etchy has rused you all into playing the Guderian Envelopment around Mornington Crescent itself?! A move to Camden Town would have completed the envelopment! Luckily I can halt these nuances once and for all, and destroying the encirclement from behind.

God damn it. Had I known about this game, I would have entered earlier.

Since there doesn't appear to be a rule against mid-series entry in the current versioning of the rules, I'll enter with the Ceres Gambit, which allows me two moves as a counter-balancing move against the previous attempts to hinder my progress:
Kensington to Paddington, with a brief stop at a local pub to have a pint with Boddington.

Cheat! You never had the LV to bring those two lines back to one!

Hmmmm..... Embankment.
Now the idiots will think "Aha, I can go straight to MC from here, but they'd need an LV in excess of 80, and no-one's got that now (I calculated before my move, oddly enough), so it will have to do for lack of better options at the moment. Although I do feel a strong draw toward the North Sea. Better get your tokens accumulated if you were planning to move westward.

Ha, you're wrong! MY LV already exceeds 120 by far! Of course you got the wrong score for PH's Angel station, which earned me more than him according to the Senegalese M'Bukasi rules that are compulsory for any game since 1992.

So it's Mornington Crescent

Nope. You're wrong. Miscalculation of LV is clearly the sign of a complete noob. Your move is ineligible, and as such, you are forced into Zone 6.
By the way, what method of LV calculation are you using, because this ruleset only allows for the Kurtz method, which would leave you with about 34? I suggest you DanS yourself out of this embarrassing hole as soon as you can.

Tired of ads?

Kurtz Schmurtz, the Nepalese world class player Vishnanendra the elder provided the community with a much fairer and at the same time less equalizing method of calculating LV, and, at the same time, EGZRDBV. Of course you'd never put a single thought on EGZRDBV. So I'm opbviously wel lahead. Vishnanendra's calculation is also recommended in the ruleset we're using, unless you want to be a loner.

Behave, Ecthy.

Kurtz Schmurtz was as Bavarian as Munich Cathedral and you know it. He's also been descredited since Bernard Nez published his paper on hydrothermal reverse nesbitting. I'm surprised you haven't read it.

Zone Six it is for you, and I'll take Leicester Square and pick up my third klope.
