Day 6.
Greater strategic decisions have become second place to continuing the War With Cras. The War With Cras started for no particular good reason. The War with Cras is of particular interest to the neighbours, as war is a massive resourve drain and you end up concentrating solely on tactical movements, losing sight of the bigger picture, forget to return 11 drillers and APOD nicks a base. Or two.
Shaneville remains in Penllawen's hands. My people mourn.
I'm very much enjoying this.

War? Son, that's not a war. That's a mild irritation, like Athlete's foot.
It was a war when I decided Grim... shouldn't exist any more.

This game needs play times, set up before the game starts, outside of which all subs are paused and you cannot issue or change any orders.
Most moves are hugely telegraphed

It suffers from the same problem as the other "super-slow" games I've played - I takes forever to do anything, but there are still times you have to react to something within thirty minutes or you're toast, and those 30 minutes might be at 3am.
Or at 9am on a Sunday morning, whish is the same thing as far as I'm concerned

How long was your window for action though? It's a journey of more than 24 hours, so even at double pace you had over 12 hours, lazybones!
Admittedly there would be no notification until the course change, which was around 8am with only a three hour flight time
Must admit I wasn't expecting to get away with it

That's not what Cras did, but I don't want to say if he doesn't want you to know.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one not to see what was happening
Ah, it was on course there when I woke up and assumed it had been aiming that way the whole time.
No, but any time after around nine last night would have shown the route passing right next to Grim...'s Queen.
This is a most compelling undertaking.
The war on Cras continues.

HeyHeyMalia's War Machine is marvellous. A thing of beauty. If only you could see the Jackboot of Oppression stamping down on your fetid, crumbling, empire in its full glory.

RON_HOWARD has launched 500 DRILLERS at MALIA.
HeyHeyMaliA's war machine is entirely reliant on gifts from the perfidious ApplePie. This did not go unnoticed
MaliA's game style is basically Drunken Boxing.
In fairness, first game and all. Also: totally committed to the War and Grim.. said we had to fuck people up. Not dig holes in the sea bed

Nah, Mali's doing fine, but he's...erratic

That's actually what I meant. Like a drunken boxing martial artist, he weaves around so much you can't read his next move.
Invite for next game plz.

We need a week for emotional recovery between games, typically.
Also, it should be noted that cras and Gaywood have cheat mode activated. The game is worth paying for to activate cheat mode anyway.

And I have it. It cost me, literally, my queen.
But, I took it.
Well, you kind of didn't. You turned up at the gates and died, and your then leaderless navy took it.
MaliA enjoys his moral victory at Shaneville.
Which is the least likely type of victory for him to come out of a game of Subterfuge with, tbh.

This game is amazing and intense and I think one go every two years is about right. Although I was less obsessed this time. I only spent more than an hour planning a single set of moves once, and I onlcly checked in between the hours of 1 am and 6 am two or three times.

Cockroaches can survive for ages after decapitation, and HeyheyMalia's forces are trained to operate without coherent stratagy
Thank goodness for that
This game i'm in is immense.
Basically, I'm the hero fighting against The Red Team with my sidekicks who just sort of berate me for DOING ALL THE WINNING

by "ALL THE WINNING" you mean "TURNING ON US AS SOON AS IT'S EXPEDIENT WHILST WORKING WITH THE RED TEAM".
Not worked with them since I went after shit green and you all watched like cowardly lemons.
I HAD YOUR BACK YO, fucking balla.
I don't think you know what a "balla" is.
Unless you're calling Mali the better player.
