To reflect the current place of residence of this site's owner, this game takes place on the Manchester Metrolink. Obviously this map offers fewer subtleties than the London Underground, but I think there will be some opportunity for tight play. Winning move is Bowker Vale.
And so it begins...
rab - Starting at
St Peter's Square, declaring home at
Besses o'th' Barn.
plump - Fellow drag racers will agree that
Pomona is the only valid option at this pre-stage.
DrQu+xum -
Old Trafford. Care for a quick sixes match?
Blob - Ahhh ..
Crumpsall - gosh this is tight isn't it. I reckon the Becks is up to 7.4 already.
rab - Retreating to
Weaste. [All] By the way, some stations were renamed after the system reopened, which might allow for some bifurcations. I'll try and find a suitable URL detailing the changes.
rab - Reopened? Opened? Whatever. In fact, I'm not even sure that statement is true. Certainly, the names on my A-Z differ from those on the stops, and I'm curious as to (a) why and (b) what effect this might have on gameplay.
Ibid - To play or not to play, that is the question. Oh, alright then,
Dane Road.
Inkspot -
Mosely Street waiting to go north against the flow.
PaulWay - Starting in from the ends via
Altrincham.
Blob - I must progress with all speed to the wonderfully named
Besses o' th' Barn station. What makes me think that there ould
never be a station called that south of, say, Derby ?
rab - Holding fast at
Picadilly Gardens Ibid - Since I need to secure my position, where better than
Anchorage?
rab - Seem to have stalled here... is it really so tight?
Ibid - I don't know, I'm wondering if I scared everyone off.
Boolbar - Moving bus from
Trafford Centre.
Boolbar -
That should soften the Becks rab - Leaving
Cornbrook wide open (although with no street access, one might imagine how this is possible).
Lib - Heading to
Salford Quays to watch the groovy bridge go up and down.
rab - This game's a bit slow isn't it. Something to do with the limited interchanges, probably. So off to
Navigation Road.
Audience -
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Bob the dog* Bob the dog - I'm gobsmacked!
Takes a ride home with Badly Drawn Boy and leaves coat with teeth in pocket... Boolbar - Couldn't get ahead. I just couldn't get ahead. [Btd] Yarbles!
Widey - Best hit the burbs and settle for a Mossley
oldbloke - Hello. I'm trying to track down an old game I played in using the GMPTE network ruleset. This game is the closest to that, geographically. Anybody remember it, and maybe suggest where I might find it? It might have been on Mr Wildpants server, which seems to be gone...
Darren - Yes, Pants is unfortunately long dead. I dunno if anyone's kept an archive of the games on it.
Knobbly - A good point, well made...
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
