Mornington Crescent

Post by Falky »

See if we can get a decent game going. If you're unfamiliar with Mornington Crescent, here's a link to the game being played - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8538EzCvr8

This game will be played under King Canute rules, with the 93rd Elgar variations in effect. The Dollis Hill loop will be active.

For a map of the London Underground, see http://www.afn.org/~alplatt/tubemap.gif


I'll start with Ladbroke Grove.

I didn't get it as I never did.

Now I miss Humphrey Lyttelton again ;_;

It's basically Calvinball for British people on the radio, in that it has no real rules or points and you have to have a subtle and dry sense of humor that is rarely heard outside of British radio.

It also requires a familiarity with London well beyond knowing it's the city where that huge clock is.
The nature of the signature is significant and natural.

That's what they want you to believe.

Not really. That's why I've supplied a helpful map. I know absolutely nothing about London.

I'll start with Angel.

So what, do we just move by one station each round until someone reaches Mornington Crescent?

Not really, Aposke. You move after someone else. Their move may help you get to Mornington Crescent.

Good move to Angel, all I can do under the 93rd Elgars is a quasi-vertical to Elephant & Castle.

I'll move straight down to London Bridge.
Ha, we're on the same line now, what are you gonna do about that?
