h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Taking into account the Hugh's ammendment to the Anderson-Perkins rule I'm going to start this game rather unconventionally and see what you make of it.

ALDWYCH

Now that's a tricky start move. Leaves a lot open, especially if switch backs come in to play. However ...

Fenchurch Street!

That should mix it up a bit.

Hope you don't mind if I jump right in. Disregarding the '32 Second Edit regarding straight run-throughs, I'll have to go with...

GOODGE STREET

Hope you lot don't mind if a newbie to this game, though not THE game, joins in. Its just, well.. Are you sure you disregarded EVERY substation in the '32 Second Edit regarding straight run-throughs. I thought that Parson's Wedge would come into play?

Oh well, I'm new here, so I'll shut up and say...

Dollis Hill.

cheers

mac

You can't do that because of the "patented silurian transport rule" first use in a game between fred bloggs and george green.
So I go to
Chesham

Hes answering a 12 month old game...
Oh well, Cyprus should help reawaken it.

well bunnyfrog me old mate I think we can give give this ago, makes a change from the cryptics

Cannon Street.....that should be loud enough to wake the dead

Not as much as Seven Sisters wailing

But what about the roar of Heathrow Terminals 1 2 3

Does the Mac'Innery vote rule out lines that are "Under Construction" I do not know where this construction is but I think that stations should be strong enough to resist therefore:

West Silvertown

I hope you don't mind a newcomer to The Game joining in. I'm not a member of the Appreciation Society yet, as they singed my arches down in Hendon and I haven't been able to stump up the seat-cleaners to apply anywhere else yet.

I've been reading up on the game, but I'm no expert. There's just so many books out there.

But if my amateurish efforts do not offend, I'd like to ease in gently with a fairly conservative

Chalfont & Latimer.

It's the Frothing Bernard braking disengagement, but I know you would have recognised that already.

ooo, a letter zone, risky. You have heard about the luke saky conditioning then?

hmm

Willesden Junction

Was that from the '58 European qualifier? Or am I thinking of Voltov's Constricting Tram Beam? Caught the Scots out good and proper either way, eh?

Ongar

(1974b Closed Lines Addendum)

Is this game playing the Nid rule or are we playing straight vent loops

Blackwall

Well Kess has already put the dampeners on the Triple Boomer, (and rightfully so, in my opinion, as you know what happened the last time someone tried it - they had to build that horrid dome in Greenwich to cover the crater,) but I think we could all execute a straight flushed bellhousing, even using the chorus rule, without causing tok much damage. The bellhousing has branches that covers both, so if you can get the angle then try whatever you fancy.

Snaresbrook

Well normally the next move would be Cannon Street, but since that was played a few moves back I'm forced to play

Mile End, now with careful play it's M C in 3

I'll let you ponder your moves will check in morning, bye 4 now

Oh, heck. This is where I always get nervous and mess it all up. What was it my father used to say? M C in 3, something, something, something.

He could never remember it either. Damn.

Stratford

Should be plenty of routes out, at least. I just hope I haven't loused it all up.

very good, I'll castle with

Knightsbridge

Well, I'm going to have to presume that the train isn't air-conditioned.

MORNINGTON CRESCENT

Tally-Ho!

That's the first time I've ever won a game, y'know. The last time I ever got that close, my opponent was arrested for tax fraud about three moves from a four-loop lock up.

Another?
