Illuminati-R-Us

This borders on the irregular, but participants have been known to take detours.... O.K., let's see how we can - ah

London City Airport

The new lines really make the game more complex, don't they?

Tower Gateway, and I declare outer reversal!

Watch it, tavarichtch!

Outer reversal at this stage, and you're liable to disappear into a looong Spoon if an adverse player manages a sideways tripover - such as, in this case

East Ham

[Deep threatening Terminator voice]
Hasta la vista Baby!
[/Deep threatening Terminator voice]

East Ham? EAST HAM? The Jen has declared the next move tobe Willesden Green, via The Hanging Gardens. Avoid Ferrets if you can....!

Watch that stuff, Lance, you could have easily run into an AMtrak gambit by way of CSX.

Willesden Green?

OK then I think:

Victoria

Wow, great one.

Monument

I am either too smart or too stupid for this game. The fact that I cannot determine which it is distresses me.

Well, it may be a complicated game, but one is never too stupid or too intelligent to take part in it. Just get the feel of it, and you will enjoy it.

19 hrs without a countermove? Fine, double move for me, and it's
Elephant &Castle

[spoiler]this is coming dangerously close to a Straight Home Slam via the Northern Line Breakthrough Conduit. The others have one move left to avoid my taking the round. O.K., two, but taht would result in KOS coming out of Spoon directly beside an Eastern Network Shunt Entrance, and that would make him a strong contender. Let's see what they do. [/spoiler]

I'm now out of rucsack, but still in spoons. So, given the linmitations;

Canary Wharf

This is only possible because I quenched earlier, but still risks much since the DLR is now in play. For the more adventurous, City Airport is now reachable . . .

I'd try the Marshall Amplification, but Blechley is not on my map, so:

Limehouse

I must cleanse the streets (picks up hat, cloak and swordstick):

To Whitechapel!

[spoiler]By doubling the over-reach I'm trying to block the route to the North. I prefer to explore Kennedy's Opening but it works just as well as a gambit at this stage in the game.[/spoiler]

Well, tough day.


Hampstead Heath

[spoiler]Well, what else can I do. Very little options if you want to prevent Heid from blocking the Northern route. Idoprefer a Beecheton gambit, for obvious reasons[/spoiler]

Wembley Park

[spoiler]Arneb and Heid the Ba' have been focused so hard on the Northern Route, they may not even have realised they created this opportunity for me. Or perhaps they realise it but can't do anything about it. . .[/spoiler]

Oh, but I can



Sudbury Town

On then to Piccadilly Circus to initiate the Soho Hoho Challenge.

You areinto complicated situations, Enzo, aren't you?
Well then, if you insist:

Heathrow Terminal 4

should give this yet another twist.

I'll just warn you to watch out for these guys...



And that's no bull.

Seems like we were at the airport for days...

Back to Oxford Circus then.

that was a real slammer. Careful now, Eastend Backstrike denfence:

Mile End

Enzo wrote:Seems like we were at the airport for days...

Not unusual, in the game or in real life. . .

Farringdon

Oh?

Back around to Tottenham then.

Don't you dare...

Tottenham Court Road

Nice try, but

Ruislip Gardens

POINT OF ORDER!

We yanks tend to abbreviate. My move to Tottenham WAS to Tottenham Court Road.

SO either "don't you dare" meant you were correcting me, as in how dare I abbreviate, or you were making a move to where we already were. There must be a penalty for that, hmm?

KOS is trying to interfere, I see.

But even way out here in zone 5, it is too late to stop me from returning to Leicester Square and completing my Soho Hoho in proper clockwise fashion.

I may be new to this, but I play aggressively.


[spoiler]Since they don't know my personal style yet, I am setting them up to pull off a "Play with Fire" Manouver. (I am sure there should be several more vowels in that word for the Brits.)[/spoiler]

Canada Water

[spoiler]
Just killing time; I'm so far behind I need snookers.[/spoiler]
