I made a horrible mistake supporting Turkey into Trieste in 1907/1908 or whenever. I honestly just was real confident he wouldn’t stab me and that I would be faster to 17/18 SCs than him. I miscalculated that for sure but it still worked out. I really feel like that was my only major mistake of the game
Gooner I honestly thought you were Turkey this whole time. I can’t believe there is someone else who types messages that long every day
France just handing me the solo made it a bit less fun for me, but I’m 95% sure I still would have soloed without that happening.
I was convinced that Germany was redwing. I wouldn't have helped you so much if I didn't think I knew you irl.
I thought sd3 was France. I know him too but it's fun to goad sd3.
I thought Gooner was Russia.
I was Turkey.
After pulling the wool over everyone's eyes that one turn I was very close to leaving my fleet in the Black Sea and building an army to convoy to Sev and move Rum-Ukr that next spring.
I nearly did it but figured that nobody else would come to my aid in a fight against Germany after the stunt (not stab -- semantics, but still) that I pulled. And given the saltiness was still so strong from Italy and France like 6 turns later, I'd say I was right to not try for the stab then, which was my best opportunity to do so.
Wtf was that between Austria and Italy in the mid game? Why on earth were you fighting each other like that?
I took a stab at Trieste in 1901 just to take a shot. If it works, I’m set super strong, if it doesn’t no harm done. But Austria held that over me for the rest of the game, and after DV7 hung me out to dry in 1903/04 in Greece, that was clearly it for Austria. Even despite the looming German threat after that, he went after me and left his backdoor open for Turkey and Germany, I assume out of spite.
WFU03, in the midgame, the only country in any sort of position to take SCs from me was Turkey. It would have left him with no allies and me mobilizing forces against him. The real outcome of that is France getting to stabilize, not Turkey getting an easy solo
