Scotland Yard HU: Duckburg chasing Gabe. Embrace for the inevitable LOLGABE

I randed the starting positions.

Duckburg got 5 starting positions: he will need to discard the one he likes less.
They are: 13, 26, 53, 117 and 155. On the map:

(Red X = Metro Station, White X = Taxi Stations)

Rules:

Duckburg plays 4 detectives, they may move in any order
Gabethebabe gets one single starting spot. It is probably glorious, because I randed it myself.
Gabethebabe has 4 Black Tickets and 2 Double Move Tickets.

Duckburg to indicate which starting spot he does not want. After that I will make my first move.

If someone wants to rail my moves, LMK and I'll ship`you my moves.

I need a map without X's, so I can see the number of all spots.

I'll move:
-->46 with Underground
-->69 with taxi
-->129 with taxi
-->167 with taxi

So discarding the top right starting spot..

Soorry for the delay, got hung up at dinner with the gf.

You only needed to discard a detective, not move. You are discarding 26. The starting position is therefore:

Playername	Taxi	Bus	Metro	Black	2-move	Stop
Mr. X	INF	INF	INF	4	2	??
D1	11	8	4	-	-	13
D2	11	8	4	-	-	53
D3	11	8	4	-	-	117
D4	11	8	4	-	-	155

The first moves will be: [1] I move, you move, [2] I move, you move, [3] I move and reveal.
So you need to find good spots in two moves for reveal. Best spots are metro stops and some central bus stops that cover the boat (102, 157, 142, 127, 116, for example). Boat stops are especially crucial to cover, because an unchecked Black Ticket move from a boat stop (especially from 157 or 115) is usually painful.

I am at 108 now.
First need to pick up kids from school, then will consider my 3rd move.
I was not pleased to start on 106.

Also look at your ticket economy. For example, you used a Bus move 1 with detective 1, he is in heavy bus area, it would probably have been better to use a taxi.

The D2 move looks weird, you know you can send him to 67, do you not?

4 cannot go to 184

Did not see 67, and I cannot edit it anymore...
missclick on 184, which I now change to 156, if that's okay?

So you're not at 108, since that's too obvious to go from there and a Double move/Black ticket.

D1: taxi to 115
D2: Underground to 89
D3: taxi to 108 ldo
D4: taxi to 140
