Re: Scotland Yard
Wow, it's obvious that you've put a lot of thought into this! I just have one question... where does everyone start?

Re: Scotland Yard
Your positions are now on the map. The game begins now. Mr. X may make his move whenever he wishes.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, to keep this game from running long, turns are limited to two days. If you don't make a move in two days, I'll move you based on where the other detectives want you to go. If three turns pass without a certain detective posting, that detective will be replaced.

Re: Scotland Yard
Sorry about not going yesterday, I was swamped with work. I will make my turn shortly.

Re: Scotland Yard
Mr. X has traveled by TAXI. Detectives may now make their moves.

Re: Scotland Yard
My theory is that Mr. X was placed an equal distance from all the officers. Look at the chart- there's an odd looking hole near 167 where no one is placed, and yet the officers are strewn around there. Most likely that is where Mr. X is- somewhere in that area. If I were Mr. X, I would make a beeline to the waterway, and thus I shall do the same. I will move to space 67. It might be a good idea for red and yellow to cover the top corners, though, and green to hang around where he is for the time being.

Re: Scotland Yard
You can't move that far in a single turn. You have to stop at each stop along the way. Slow, yes, but it's the rules. To get to 15 from 40, you'd have to go through 27 and 26. Sorry.
