I don't think there's any open goon lobbies right now, but I'm looking to try the game out, so I'd join if you start one.

Cool Ghosts (Matt Lees/Quintin Smith) have started a diary series of their Subterfuge game. They were all excited during last week's podcast about the game, and during this week's they were all burnt, sad husks of men. I have a feeling it's gonna be a fun watch  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsvuv_kJ9qQ

TACD posted:Were you in as anisoptera in our game? I saw you'd been online fairly regularly but hadn't made any moves in 2-3 days, sorry Yeah I kept checking back and getting a spinner. After a day or so it just seemed like I wouldn't be able to catch up. I'm in the new one though so here's hoping I have better luck this time  e: you're lucky that happened because I was gathering support for a coalition to steamroll you

Yeah, I don't think I can appreciate smoothness on my 4,3 screen anyway, give me the jank please! Also, the chat font is all hosed up(still legible) for me, I think it's because of my small screen, does anybody have the same problem? The in-game font looks right though.

Pro-est choice of specialist is Inspector which promotes to Security Chief. In the game we're currently playing, I could not figure out how one of the players had such high shield on ALL of his bases. Looked around at the specialists I could see of his and found he had a Security Chief which adds 10 max shield to all outposts plus 10 max shields to the outpost of the Security Chief. So one is workable but takes a much larger force of drillers to accomplish any kind of push against them, but TWO? I had made a comment about it to the player and no lie, shortly after he had managed to get a SECOND. So even his lowest outposts have 30 shields and he has the 2 chiefs at a mine which now has 50 shields. I'm looking at you Alehkhs  I know the screen shot is a bunch of nothing in the middle but you can see his outposts around the borders and the 50 shield mine in the top right.

TACD posted:I dunno, I'm kind of in love with the Admiral. Having a 50% speed boost on all your subs is so strong for giving you the jump on people or letting you react to their moves. Yeah there are several really really useful guys and the rest are mostly situational. I used a pirate and a navigator to take apart two opponents that were ganging up against me just by stealing their donations and switching my attack target to force sub optimal driller deployments and just changed back to my original attack target. There is a wealth of tactical strategy available in this game. BTW TACD, swooping in after I cleared out the mines was an annoying but effective tactic =)

Ughh, this loving game. It's my first match and I was doing reasonably well, heading in for a comfortable third place after a relatively peaceful run. Then I thought I'd take a potshot at a neighbour's base and started amassing drillers at my border. My other neighbour got scared and threatened me. That in turn scared me so I didn't stand down. So he attacked me. And now he's steamrolling my mines with a horde of drillers, and the rest of my alliance bloc is also invading.  e: one thing that is somewhat unbalanced is that my 3/8 players were disqualified due to inactivity around day two; but none of them were near me. So I was surrounded by people who could easily expand into bases that weren't actively being defended, whereas I had no such luck.

Anyone know if Tycoons stack? Would I be getting 4x the reinforcement rate of everyone else?

Is the game 168 hours total? I wish there was some countdown timer or something in game. I think my game has about 14 or so hours left. God I hope so anyway. I think I can pull off the win if for no other reason than there isn't really enough time for me to be beat down. But boy is my map shrinking!

Goon Game "Gently Caressing" just finished up. For the hell of it I wrote a quick post-mortem about the game from my point of view: Days 1-3: I make early peace deals with most of my neighbors since I would have extremely intimate borders with some of them and work out deals with just about everyone about which outposts I intend to take and focus much of my efforts on expanding north towards Hodapp. (Un)Fortunately Hodapp ends up AFK since the game started and Arbitrary, Tater_Salad and I start picking at his stuff. Hodapp makes one brief appearance after 20hours to build a mine, and hire specialists but then leaves for good after that. Arbitrary snipes his Queen that then leaves two inactive factories with 80 drillers that served as a large buffer zone between our territories that holds up for the entire game. Jubelio mentions early aggression from Arbitrary and Russad but I wasn't really in a position to help him out since every one of their borders were far from me and I cant see where the action is taking place. Instead I take the opportunity to build a mine near Jubelio's border thinking its fairly safe with his focus elsewhere. Days 4-6: I continue mining but there is really no aggressive action taking place for me. My borders keep mostly peaceful but I'm still paranoid about stretching myself too thin. I manage to get a good mining lead going going but its clear that Arbitrary is getting stronger and its mostly a waiting game for him to eventually outpace me in mining speed. My specialists draws continue to be terrible and I acknowledge there inst really a whole lot I can do to stop him directly so I stay passive and focus my strategy for at least a 2nd place finish. I observe ModeSix and SA Malt get into some odd skirmishes just within my vision. I reiterate the peace treaty with ModeSix that I'm still not going to attack him so he can relax to fight back. Their skirmish makes me more at ease about attacks coming from that direction. Also during this time I accidentally leave one of my mines wide open to attack for about 20 hours and get extremely paranoid about Tater-Salad waltzing in to try and take it. Days 7-8: The writings on the wall and I realize that if I really want to try and win its time quit turtling and start a war! Jubelio is rapidly losing outposts but tells me he sent a final "gently caress you" 179 driller sub at a mine of Arbitrary's which was at least 40 hours away. This is beyond my vision but other players tell me it probably won't be successful but I think it should at least occupy some of Arbitrary's subs to fend it off. I use this as an opening to try and steal a mine from Russad as this is really my only opportunity to increase my mining rate enough to sneak out a win from under Arbitrary. I'm told much of his Russad's forces are on another front so I plan the assault for the last possible moment to take a generator and mine from Russad and still possibly win me the game. The funny part about this was that since ModeSix ALSO started an attack for the same mine a few hours earlier he got the focus of the retaliatory aggression (Martyr) instead of me. I also start planning out how to back-stab Tater_Salad and steal his one of his mines as well. As I'm working though the future attack he actually comes online... and I figure I'd just kindly ask him about taking it instead of just attacking. Turns out Russad was attacking his other mine and Tater just let me have the one I was planning on stealing anyways. Sometimes using diplomacy does work best! My time machine shows me with a potential win but there was still way to much outside of my control. In the end though Arbitrary builds yet another mine and his Np production is too much to over come. The game was ended up extremely close and had I made some more aggressive moves sooner I may have actually had a chance at the end. It was a good second place finish and a fun game.  (Pink is totally the best color to be) I'm definitely down for more Goon games in the near future if there continues to be interest. Trinexx fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Oct 24, 2015 |

That game showed me that there is a big luck of the draw at the start of most games and I lost big time. Each of my outposts was spread way out from the others and I had a neighbor next to each one with at least 2 outposts closer so I had no opportunity for expansion. On the upside, I tweeted the subterfuge guys with a screen shot of the starting screen and they said they are thinking about doing a completely symmetrical mode for people that dont want to roll the dice(I suggested maybe not allowing a deployment that was so spread out but they seemed to like randomly screwing someone and forcing them into heavy negotiations from the get go).
