    ...

    I'm gonna lurk for a while...
    All I can figure out so far from skimming the thread is that it involves travelling to/from different trainstations, possibly the London Underground, methinks...

    Just because I feel Rule 10a is in effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...escent_Society

    Otherwise Morden. Plus a northbound circular route ban is in effect for 3 stops.

    re: Mornington Crescent Anyone?

    Never saw you coming I must admit, I am dubious about your 'parallel route breach' though. I believe under the CULG bylaws, Mornington Crescent cannot be reached while abusing the English language.

    In answer to all those that asked, and to reiterate what has been said already...

    You aren't allowed to tell the rules. Although I will say, every move must be on the Underground, unless you're following Monopoly's idea of localised versions.



    Since Monkeyboy has been overruled, I will call Farringdon, by the cross-lateral rule of 1974

    Doesn't that contravene Schadler's upper approach theorem?
    If not, I call Marble Arch.

    re: Mornington Crescent Anyone?

    Might I disagree? Any other move would have led to a triple fly shunt, bearing in mind the Cryer Precedent 4(b) of 1997.

    re: Mornington Crescent Anyone?

    According to Sippler's derivitation, (post-Charring Cross schism revision), when the line is furled two players are forced into whimsy. This means that cross line jump is possible only in the third half and THEN only once bankruptcy has been settled on the last player to trollop. Now bearing that in mind, and also mindful of the Oslo ruling concerning nip, it's only possible to call Matron if two or more players are groping the stoat, as Funkstar and staffsMike are.

    So I'm going to invoke the Boer paradox in a half-hemisphere klaxon, Cambridge refined rules adjusted for the Vienna Convention ballot.

    Amersham.

    Be warned, a transverse move by players in southern divisions will force biliousness.
