Mystery Crescent 2007

Standard HP2000 rules but with a different winning move. Assume MC is wild.

And so it begins...

• Gusset Login - I'll open the batting with Chalk Farm
• ImNotJohn - If you're batting then it must be at the Oval
• Software - Just over the boundary at Kennington.
• Uncle Korky - We'll have to find a suitable Green Park.
• Quendalon - There's a lovely green space hard by the Royal Oak.
• Tuj - Shall we go Epping later?
• Irouléguy - Ruling out Blenkinsop's Bluff with Euston
• Kim - My usual opening gambit - Rotherhithe
• nights - Hoorah! Bank!
• Quendalon - Starting off with Cucumberland's Envelopment: Embankment, stealing half of [nights]'s LV.
• nights - [Quendalon] That's rather unsporting. I'll have to rescind to Charing Cross.
• Tuj - Neasden. And did I meantion home declared at Goodge Street?
• Kim - Paddington, or else.
• Kim - Else it is, then.
• nights - St Pancras? With an egg?
• Tuj - No, it's Theydon Bois.
• I Say, Porter! - Woodside Park. There's method in my madness... Or is there?
• Uncle Korky - Got to go for a Queensway!
• Kim - Re-trenching at Snaresbrook
• Quendalon - Escaping encirclement through Marble Arch.
• Tuj - Goldhawk Road seems unlikely.
• Irouléguy - Blackhorse Road seems unsightly.
• Kim - North Acton rumbles nightly
• ImNotJohn - Borough. With home at Mornington Crescent (Just because I can)
• Tuj - Balham. [INJ] Just because you can doesn't make it a good idea...
• nights - Willesden Junction, and never let it be said that I do not rumble.
• Kim - Demi-strile to Barons Court
• I Say, Porter! - Canning Town. It's never Canning Town is it. I don't know why I bothered.
• Quendalon - Staying the night at that creepy old Mansion House.
• nights - Perhaps it's Tottenham Court Road, for the shopping.
• Magritte - Digging in on top of Dollis Hill.
• Uncle Korky - Upminster, for the views.
• Magritte - Regent's Park, for the zoo(s).
• Tuj - Ravenscourt Park, with clones.
• Knobbly - Live dangerously or not at all: Heathrow Terminals 1,2 and 3
• Kim - Time to play my wild card....Mornington Crescent
• Sierra Mike - Gallions Reach
• nights - White City.
• Quendalon - Taking wing to Goldhawk Road.
• Chalky - Bringing this game into year 2008 with a simple Russell Square.
• Lib - Inviting myself to Tuj's home for a cup of tea, Goodge Street.
• nights - We haven't had South Kenton yet, have we?
• Kim - New Cross. I reckon that the winning station is a temporary ghost.
• nights - Oh, cunning. Surrey Quays, then.
• Robin - Start at the bottom and work up. Morden.
• Quendalon - What about Heathrow Terminal 4?
• I Say, Porter! - Hmmm. Goldhawk Road didn't work either time, so let's try Golders Green.
• Uncle Korky - Forced into a desperate Hornchurch!
• Kim - I'll double my LV with a whopping Wapping.
• Graham III - Hmm, South Woodford. It's got to be.
• Robin - Still exploring the outer reaches. Richmond
• Quendalon - Always a reasonable approach, [Robin]. Let's inch over to Hatton Cross, sharply reducing LV.
• nfras - Sharply increasing LV with Mudchute.
• Graham III - Exploiting the opening for Elverson Road.
• Quendalon - Hounslow West, initiating a directional cascade.
• Uncle Korky - East Ham
• Kim - New Cross Gate
• Tuj - Maybe "I give up" will work. No?
• Entropy - It has been a while, I guess. If I recall the mystery was Swiss Cottage. If I don't - this will take a lot longer.
• Audience - *shouts, screams generally goes wild for Entropy*
• Kim - [Entropy] Err, that's not the way these things usually go. Normally the game continues, sometimes for months, until the answer is found (despite what Tuj might have said - and I suspect he was not actually being serious). I propose to start another (perhaps with a variant - mystery reverse anagrams, anyone?).
• Entropy - [Kim] It had been over two weeks since the last move. Seemed kinder to kill it.
• Tuj - [Kim] Me, serious? ;)

This is the end of the line. There is no more.
