but I have declared and one against the computer without any and the last game the winner did not have 14

are you sure it is not just for certain stations?

Check the rule book..

Let's see.... you did a minor Nibetian Hallow Bitual, so that would be 2.3 nisbits, but the counter was done by Harrison, so you lose 1/2345 of a nisbit.

Now let me see.

Bugs is clearly trying a reverse triple-Hathawayan triangle around Maida Vale. Even a beginner (like me) can see that.

I am more concerned about Immortal Wombat's interest on Borough - He could be going for the Classabethian-Sundvall or even the feared trapezoidal affection -play - which would render all my attepts for a Scrutinizer move.
But remember IW, for posting without naming a move, you get a ten-second stop-and-go penalty. So no chances for Rickmansworth there.

So, I play Goldhawk Road. Have at you both!

Ah, but that would only be if a move at that juncture was allowed. As only one person had 'moved' between my two posts, my move would have been invalid. Therefore my post does not constitute a breach of rules, negating my S&G penalty, and enabling me, after many typos, to take Rickmansworth.

haha!

HAHAA! I knew that! I wanted you to go to Rickmansworth!

Now, I can make a Crumpet Hammer - the move first implemented by the first and so far best Finnish MC player, Pekka Sairanen. Oh, how he prevailed over Swedish champion Sven Sundvall in the Scandinavian Mornington Crescent Games in 1965. Those were the days.

Note, I can do a move even with just one move by another player inbetween, because of the Heigelman rule #43, subclause A in the latest edition of the Heigelman rules from 1998, that clearly states that this kind of action is legal if it is used to execute a Crumpet Hammer (or an Ellipsoidical Kamikaze Flyer, by the way).

Now, Snaresbrook!

You're a great favourite of Camden Town, aren't you Provost? You know they say that a predictable player is as useless as a Mousehole leftwardly-biased salmon escutcheon maneouvre at the Elephant and Castle, don't they?

I always play unexpected moves. Such as Kendal Green. That will cause you to pause and rethink, now won't it?

I love Camden Town thanks. Within spitting distance of Mornington Crescent you see. Quite possibly one of the most useful stations on the grid. Holding that is like holding the hill in any great battle

I also have a bit of a penchant for Mile End at the moment too

Speaking of missed oppourtunities, Pimlico was one for you. You totally missed the Green-slot low-end No-Way sacrifice which would have set you up a treat, and earned more than a pretty nisbet. Oh well, it's mine now!

If we are dealing with short-term gain, yes, that would be a wise move. But like chess, we all know what the end aim is, and that requires some sacrifice.

Holloway Road should make my pieces fall into place eventually.

Heathen! You think this is a game to be taken lightly? That it deserves no respect? That there's actually a station called Pirnlico? It's Pimlico! Get OUT until you learn to lay.

Meanwhile, back in the game proper, Shepherd's Bush will leave you fair stymied, I think.
