Mornington Crescent

[Explosive Newt]

Been a while since I had a good game and I am hoping I might find a few other players on the forum, or maybe some new players who might want to join in with the fun.

I was going to propose we start with Moreton’s second variation of the official standard rules.

Would anyone care to start us off with a station?

Moreton's second? Starting with an easy game, then? That's a bit of a shame as I do like the gracefulness of a reverse transfer in zone 4.

I'll go Woolwich Arsenal.

[Explosive Newt]

Punchy. I will invoke a diagonal (permitted under a parliamentary cycle) and find our way to Elephant and Castle.

[Jimmy Choo]

I was going to say that was an illegal move until I remembered that while the Castle is in zone 2, the Elephant is in zone 1. Sneaky!

Swiss Cottage.

Just to check, are we using the Northern Heights modification?

[Explosive Newt]

Northern Heights are on but Northern Lights are off.

With that in mind... Tooting Broadway!

[Gavster]

Tooting Broadway is a clever move and would have trapped me in a Northern line double bind, however today is Sunday and there's planned engineering works on the Central Line which means I can take advantage of the Euston platform change shortcut to get back to Tooting Bec.

Mor…

Mor…

Morden? That's a solid move but it does allow me to reverse into Edgeware road.

Last five minutes before 4pm on a Sunday allows me to evoke Murray’s law to flip things momentarily to Kelvinbridge!

[Explosive Newt]

Murray's rule can only be played if your F1 has been round the Circle Line or mustaches have moved the diagonal.

[DeskJockey]

I'm still learning the intricacies of the game, but I believe the invocation of Murray's Law would permit the Barbican transposition after the Circle Line diagonal, and therefore I'll offer Temple.
