I wasn't just thinking of the short term agenda, though the accumulation of nisbets is an obvious plus point. There are hidden agendas at work here.

Well, there's no chance of me winning this, having started so late, so the best I can do is put my entire support against PH, in an attempt to stop a double-Harrison MC Turkey.
With the Northern and Jubilee lines out of action, it'll have to be a North-of-the-River transect line to Gospel Oak.

Ohhhh no! After a hard day's work and an even harder evening down the pub, I've completely missed the mid-section to the game! Seems like a fairly straightforward triple-processed Feynmann quota with a nisbet ratio of 1.3/move - respectable.

Just to go against the grain, and because two of you are already fighting PH, I'm going to side with him and play the Capper-Hugo interjection as we approach the terminus subgame. I have little chance of winning now, but Gloucester Road may at least save me face.

Now that Imran and Immortal are doing fairly well halting down the Provost, I can sneak in from the shadows, do a Phi-Linera Horlomwhisser through

Sloane Square.

Methinks that nets me 3,1415 nisbets. Originally it was a mere 3,14 nisbets, but the Heigelman rules changed it to a more accurate figure.

No such station, I'm afraid. And Heathrow 4, and Heathrow 1,2,3 have already been taken. That's a 7.89 nisbet fine, I'm afraid.

Anyway, I shall take Shoreditch, moving the terminus sub-game along nicely.

Rayner's Lane Folly? Pah.
I think you'll find, that my moves were the foundation to a reverse-Rayner nullation ploy. Of course, it is usual to play White City first, so I can see how you missed it.

What the intention was and what actually happened are two completely incongruous entities though IW!

Now to inflict a Notting Hill Gate waylay on several of you and play Canary Wharf. I do like some of these dockland-updated neoclassical shafters...the advantages of being up to date with the latest strategic analysis. And surely with this display, victory is mine for a second game in a row. I will have to back off, I am not really giving any of you are fair chance

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Neo-Classicism is sooooo last century. And the Dockland redevelpoment isn't finished yet, rendering Canary Wharf overrated, even as a Notting Hill Gate enabler.

Of course, by playing it you have distracted from my goal, but not significantly, as you passed up the opportunity to play the more effective Canada Water.

Of course, B*B's Shub-Niggurath declaration has rendered the Jubilee line a dangerous trap for fools, for at least 6 more posts, so you better pray you are on the Dockland's Light Railway part of Canary Wharf.

So in conclusion, it becomes ever more obvious that the move of choice would be to trap you on the DLR, with a West India Quay bottleneck trap, sacrificing a pair of red counters, but leaving you floundering in the murky waters of the Thames for a while.

Oh come on, I have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies in this game, and I can quickly shunt past you before you can implement even the most basic kind of Hendon-Wallis pincer.

So I intend to switch to Turnpike Lane slowly, but firmly, closing in on my prey...

Not true, my dear Provost. As IW pointed out, your west flank is mightily exposed. And while, with your nisbets scattered merrily about the Metropolitan and Central lines, you would appear safe over there, careful though will in fact demonstrate that your Piccadilly holdings are dangerously low. You didn't think I'd spot that, did you? Well, Ickenham, then, and may it cause you palpitations!

Realise? But of course. A subtle anti-Provost ploy as a diversion, then move in to Canon's Park.
