Long Game	comment	A Long Game is when any particular Master Plan has a time element, specifically a very long one; reasons for this generally involve some sort of long-term change to a society as a whole that must remain invisible for some reason. Often overlaps with (and is confused with) Xanatos Gambit. However, a Long Game is distinct because it requires a large amount of time to complete, and does not require the failure contingency that defines a Xanatos Gambit. Elements of Time Abyss are also common. Gambit Roulette may occur if the writer can't justify how the planners pull off such a long term plan. Can be made easy if the planner is Immortal. If we see the beginning of the plan, it'll likely be during the Innocuously Important Episode. Delaying the Rescue is caused by this trope. Not to Be Confused with The Slow Path, when you're Trapped in the Past and are forced to wait until you're back in the right time, though it can overlap. Also not to be confused with literally long games such as an Endless Game, Video Game Long Runner, or one with Fake Longevity. A video game that actually uses this trope may be in the Grand Strategy genre.

Long Game / int_1367cea0	comment	In Worm the Simurgh's most devastating ability is not her ability to use Tinker-tech or telekinesis, it's her scream. She sees the future and uses that knowledge to manipulate people's minds so that they'll follow a path she has selected by subtly altering their mood or priorities. The new path will in one way or another lead to another devastating blow for humanity, such as the assassination of a politician or suicide of a scientist.

He destroyed every source of time travel on the planet, and then retreated back to his lair, planning to just wait it out until Jack died of old age.

Long Game / int_223c2a48	comment	Ten thousand years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Kingdom of Hyrule had the Sheikah tribe develop advanced Magitek to be used in battle against Calamity Ganon. When the Sheikah were banished out of fear of the power of that technology, the machines were buried underground in case they were needed again in a future generation. A number of Sheikah monks also sealed themselves away in the Shrines so that they could eventually help a future hero defeat Ganon again, which they do once Link completes their trials and gains their Spirit Orbs ten thousand years later. On a smaller timetable, the big Sheikah players who helped excavate and reactivate the Guardians and Divine Beasts ended up waiting a century for Link to emerge from the Shrine of Resurrection and get back to fighting Ganon; in the meantime, they kept important items that Link would need and researched ways of using and reclaiming the old technology.

To a lesser degree, King Roger III's plan to prepare Manticore for war with Haven, a plan which takes many decades to complete (indeed, he doesn't even live to see the plan come to fruition due to being assassinated; his daughter sees the plan through in his memory). Also, the Committee for Public Safety's plans to reform the Peoples' Republic of Haven, given that any major changes to the existing system could cause the entire thing to crash to the ground. After several decades of reforms, the plan only pays off around the same time the Committee is overthrown by another coup, and it's left to Admiral Theisman to reap the benefits for Haven.

This works mostly because Ravna is the only surviving human to have faced the Blight firsthand, so she knows how dangerous it is; to everyone else, her Long Game simply doesn't make sense.

Apparently, they uplifted apes into an intelligent species millions of years ago and spent the next several million years meddling with human DNA, in order to create a half-Kraang/half-human. For reasons we aren't quite sure of yet, this entity was needed to perfect their mutagen and transform Earth into a new Dimension X. Oh, and April O'Neil happens to be the result of this Long Game. It's worth mentioning that time in Dimension X flows a Year Inside, Hour Outside. So, while millions of years passed here on earth, it's possible that billions of years have passed in their home dimension.

Long Game / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Winter Fae and White Court vampires love these. The latter, because, in their society, the better, longer and more complicated the "game" is, the more appreciated you are. The former, because it is one of the ways they manipulate the scene, either to their benefit or Reality's. Mab just loves these. And they are so subtle that you probably won't see them coming until much after she wins. To wit: In Grave Peril (book 3), a Red Court vampire gives Lea, Mab's second in command, an athame that corrupts her and nearly corrupts Mab as well. Nine books later, in Changes, her plans come to an end when she not only gets Harry Dresden to accept becoming her Winter Knight, but Harry's actions cause the complete destruction of the Red Court, in revenge of what they nearly caused. In Small Favor (book 10), Nicodemus kidnaps Marcone, a man Mab had vouched for entrance in the Unseelie Accords, and then the Archive. Five books later, in Skin Game, she takes advantage of the fact she owes Nicodemus a favor to loan Harry to him for a job, which ends with Nicodemus being completely humilliated, after being forced to kill his daughter, and his name becoming trash in the supernatural world, all for something it is implied he did not actually want at all. The archangel Uriel tends to play these out of necessity. He is forbidden to directly involve himself except to maintain the Balance Between Good and Evil, so can only act indirectly or with subtlety most of the time. The end of Skin Game reveals that his involvement in the plot had multiple layers, one of which was getting Butters into a position where he could claim and take up one of the Swords of the Cross. When Harry realizes this, he refers to events in Dead Beat, eight books ago and long before Uriel was introduced, when he was at a former Denarian's mercy and was hoping for a Knight of the Cross to save him. Uriel notes that, in the circumstances, it seemed appropriate for Butters, a potential Knight, to be the one who saved him from that event.

Chessmaster Hex set a plan to enact revenge by using design defects against the Gate Corporation by giving criminals information to hijack the Astral Gate toll booths. It was all planned out to be enacted 50 years into the future, complete with chess pieces as a calling card of sorts. However, Jet notes that "...fifty years is a long time; Hex got old, then he got senile. He completely forgot about the traps that he himself had set." It's a case of a long game that ended up not coming to fruition simply because nobody can really plan what can happen to themselves in fifty years.

Including Superman taking over the Soviet Union, ruling for forty years and bringing nearly the whole world under Soviet control, the USA splintering and heading to the brink of collapse, and an attempted Soviet invasion of Washington DC. All to hit Superman with an Armor-Piercing Question at exactly the right time, and destroy his will to conquer.

Given the nature of Jaune's status within his family due to being anomalous himself, once his father dies and his older sister Saphron takes over Arc Corp, she'll most likely try to organize the other offices to kill him as a preemptive measure against him going rogue.

In one scene, they get incensed over being intruded upon, blurting out, "We're trying to prevent the heat death of the universe!" Notably, their central plan to deal with the Dominion is for the Federation to just surrender. Yes, things will be bad in the short term, but in a few centuries a new Federation will rise and overthrow the Dominion, and the overall bloodshed will be minimal. However, it turns out that they're not quite as flawless as they believed; a later episode showed that the Dominion had independently figured out the same scenario, and planned to pre-empt it by sterilizing Earth.

Long Game / int_74f7210c	comment	A recurring element in The Legend of Zelda when it comes to plans to defeat the Big Bad of a particular game: Thousands of years before The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Hylia sent the human survivors of a great war between her and the armies of Demise up onto a floating outcrop of rock that became known as Skyloft while she sealed away the demons. She sent with them a sacred blade called the Goddess Sword that would be used by a future swordsman, Link, to fight the demons in the future while imbuing it with the spirit Fi to guide that swordsman. She also had the Triforce sealed away in Sky Keep in Skyloft where the demons couldn't reach it. Most crucially, she relinquished her divine form after a brutal battle against Demise so she could eventually be reincarnated as a mortal girl, Zelda, due to deities being forbidden from using the Triforce. She also arranged for her future incarnation to get into trouble on the surface so the swordsman would have a motivation to go down there and get things done. Zelda eventually seals herself in a crystal for thousands of years starting in the past to strengthen the current seal on Demise. Ten thousand years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Kingdom of Hyrule had the Sheikah tribe develop advanced Magitek to be used in battle against Calamity Ganon. When the Sheikah were banished out of fear of the power of that technology, the machines were buried underground in case they were needed again in a future generation. A number of Sheikah monks also sealed themselves away in the Shrines so that they could eventually help a future hero defeat Ganon again, which they do once Link completes their trials and gains their Spirit Orbs ten thousand years later. On a smaller timetable, the big Sheikah players who helped excavate and reactivate the Guardians and Divine Beasts ended up waiting a century for Link to emerge from the Shrine of Resurrection and get back to fighting Ganon; in the meantime, they kept important items that Link would need and researched ways of using and reclaiming the old technology.

The Kwisatz Haderach breeding-plan was engineered by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood over countless generations, carefully bringing together bloodlines to produce their messiah. (It didn't work too well.) Later, God-Emperor Leto II manipulates the entire universe, using both his own nigh-immortality and his incredibly accurate prophetic abilities, to basically force humanity to take the big leap, spreading across the galaxy and beyond, instead of just clinging to their core planets... for the purpose of ensuring humanity's future survival. A handful of heavily-populated planets could be destroyed entirely by a powerful enough foe. Thousands of colonized worlds, all across the galaxy... would be a lot harder. Thus, humanity's survival was ensured, against the coming storm of an alien invasion that the author didn't finish writing before he died.

As long as the Reapers succeeded, the cycle would continue, but the construction of the Crucible by the organics was unprecedented in any of the previous cycles, which changed the variables of the Catalyst's considerations and gave way to new options for solving the organic/synthetic dilemma.

Long Game / int_7988cb68	comment	The plan of the Reapers in the Mass Effect trilogy is such a Long Game that it involves the cyclical rise and fall of galactic civilizations. The entire Mass Relay system is a trap designed to guide the galaxy's technological development and funnel space-faring species to the Citadel which they will make their capital. When the galaxy reaches a certain technological threshold the Reapers invade the Citadel to decapitate the government and then spread outwards, harvesting the knowledge, tech, and biomass of the galaxy create more Reapers. They then leave, making sure enough ruins of the destroyed civilizations remain that the next ones to follow will be drawn to the Citadel. Curiously, the events of the first game only occur because the current cycle was delayed by the Protheans. Sovereign was desperately trying to put things back on track. The eventual reveal of the Reaper's origin in the third game shows that the Catalyst, the AI built by the Leviathans presumably about a billion years ago, was playing the longest game of all.

Long Game / int_834197b2	comment	Abaddon the Despoiler launched thirteen Black Crusades into the Imperium over the past ten millennia since the Horus Heresy, all of which were repelled and made him out to be a failure in the eyes of the fandom. Recent lore retconned them into strategic victories, most of them being diversions for the Black Legion to secure some strategic advantage while leaving their allied forces to die against the Imperium's counteroffensive. This culminated in the 13th Black Crusade on the turn of the 42nd millennium, where Abaddon sacrificed one of his Blackstone Fortresses to destroy Cadia, the final obstacle preventing the Eye Of Terror from spilling out across the galaxy towards his true target, Holy Terra, also allowing the Forces of Chaos to strike against their enemies more easily with a new Warp Rift literally splitting the galaxy in half. Unfortunately for Abaddon, his momentum was quickly lost as his fickle allies left him to pillage other worlds, and efforts by Roboute Guilliman, Yvraine and the Silent King threaten to stall Abaddon once more.

Rubiss admits that with humanity in its current state, the circumstances of a Hero's birth may not come around for a thousand years yet. The Builder has two problems with this: first, they've had enough flashbacks to realize this hands-off "The Chosen One Can't Fight Fate" arrangement is what caused the current mess (the previous Hero chose the Bad Ending of Dragon Quest just to avert But Thou Must! and make a decision on his own for once in his life). Second, this makes everything the Builder accomplished a meaningless stopgap and they don't much appreciate having put in that much effort All for Nothing. So they decide to Screw Destiny and solve the problem themselves as soon as possible, no matter what Rubiss tries to tell them.

This is a long game that has been running for over five thousand years. In Final Fantasy XIV, it's eventually revealed that the Ascians have been working towards their goal for longer than recorded history. They seek to restore their god Zodiark, who was divided into thirteen pieces by the goddess Hydaelyn. To restore their god, the Ascians have manipulated societies throughout history from the shadows to trigger devastating Calamities which result in the "Rejoining" to slowly restore their god. They have so far succeeded in restoring seven pieces of Zodiark by causing seven Calamities.

Long Game / int_a825da3e	comment	Magic: The Gathering: Nicol Bolas's bread and butter, being 25,000 years old, and all. Notably, his plan in the Gatewatch saga (which started all the way back in Alara and finally reached its zenith in War Of The Spark) took place over the course of sixty years and spanned dozens of world and countless smaller schemes - and this was a rush-job by his standards, as he'd lost him immortality and was scrambling to get it back before his natural draconic lifespan (which is already immense by human standards) started catching up to him.

By this point, almost the entirety of the North knowingly serves him and when Theon's forced into service, he notes the entirety of the Night's Watch not only serve but are also all Wildlings. Theon's forced to wonder just how long things have been going on that such a thing never struck him as odd.

She picks off her future victims carefully, choosing to start with the two that would most likely run at the first sign of danger while saving the other three for later because she knows they would stand their ground against her. She also has plans both for when the bullies realize that someone's after them and even for when the police become involved in investigating the two deaths she has caused so far. Maria has completely discarded her mercy and replaced it with patience.

Long Game / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 is absolutely crawling with this, as one would expect in a universe built on Gambit Roulettes and Rule of Cool. Just to scratch the surface: The C'Tan Deceiver seeded humanity with the Pariah gene to cultivate a weapon against its Warp-using enemies in the far future. The Necrons' going into hibernation for millions of years to wait out what was at first the Enslaver plague, until it was retconned that they were waiting out the Eldar empire. There's a fair chance that what really killed off the dinosaurs were the Necrons. The Emperor spent nearly 30,000 years guiding humanity from behind the scenes, using his knowledge of strategy and technology, as well as his vast psychic powers. It is implied that many historical figures were actually the Emperor in disguise (well, either that or he simply stole their stories to ease his transition to power). If it weren't for the Age of Strife, he probably would've stayed hidden. The Eldar rely on playing the Long Game as a matter of necessity, since they are long lived and are skirting the brink of extinction. Their leadership is composed of psychics who use their powers to predict the future and make adjustments to course of events on the galactic scale to keep events roughly in their favor. How Eldar play the long game is a source of confusion to non-Eldar, since they work apparently at random when they kill, capture, or save certain elements without any credible explanation why. Notably, they are also incredibly callous to other species, being willing to sacrifice a billion human lives to save a dozen Eldar in a century's time. Two particular highlights are engineering the Ethereal caste to unite the Tau (for an as-yet unclear purpose), and working to create the new god Ynnead to take on Slaanesh. This, along with Gambit Roulette, is a standard tactic of Tzeentch and his Greater Daemons. Abaddon the Despoiler launched thirteen Black Crusades into the Imperium over the past ten millennia since the Horus Heresy, all of which were repelled and made him out to be a failure in the eyes of the fandom. Recent lore retconned them into strategic victories, most of them being diversions for the Black Legion to secure some strategic advantage while leaving their allied forces to die against the Imperium's counteroffensive. This culminated in the 13th Black Crusade on the turn of the 42nd millennium, where Abaddon sacrificed one of his Blackstone Fortresses to destroy Cadia, the final obstacle preventing the Eye Of Terror from spilling out across the galaxy towards his true target, Holy Terra, also allowing the Forces of Chaos to strike against their enemies more easily with a new Warp Rift literally splitting the galaxy in half. Unfortunately for Abaddon, his momentum was quickly lost as his fickle allies left him to pillage other worlds, and efforts by Roboute Guilliman, Yvraine and the Silent King threaten to stall Abaddon once more.

Long Game / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor had been playing a number of Long Games, including one that may have begun before the show even began and he'd met the race he was ultimately planning against. The trope name is taken from an episode in the first season of the revived show. There, humanity had been unknowingly enslaved by the Mighty Jagrafess who controlled the news. Given his incredible lifespan (and that his secret masters, the Daleks, are functionally immortal) he was able to slowly reshape humanity in his image over many human lifetimes. Even the episode's title is an example... in the context of the episode's original airing, the episode name made no sense. Come the finale when the Jagrafess' bosses are revealed, and suddenly it all made sense. The episode's title does make some sense as it's revealed Jagrafess was installed 91 years ago but it makes more sense later. The 50th anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor", includes one of these by the Doctor himself to fix his biggest regret throughout the revival series: the genocide of his own species. His long game is giving his first incarnation the foundations of a series of calculations that would put his home planet, Gallifrey, in a Parallel Universe as an alternative to outright destroying it. He develops these calculations over â€œhundreds and hundredsâ€� of years throughout all of his lives, apparently as far as his thirteenth incarnation (Twelfth Doctor). They then all come together simultaneously to carry out those calculations and successfully save the planet while still saving the rest of reality too. Unfortunately, Doctors 9 through 11 (though only past 11, before the events of the special) are forced to lose their memories of saving Gallifrey, keeping the trauma they carried over the past years intact.

To put this long game in perspective, this story's truly massive Gambit Pileup (see its page - yes, page - for details) is implied to be only a small part of what he's up to. The final chapter of Book I finally confirms that he's been working to stop Thanos. Chapter 20 of the sequel reveals how old he is: 500,000 or more, probably. He actually stopped bothering to count around 100,000.

The film's central action is a showdown between Danny Ocean's crew and Francois "Night Fox" Toulour as a competition to steal a Russian Faberge egg. However, Gaspar Le Marque, Toulour's mentor, is the one playing the "long con". An explanation— Le Marque tips off Ocean's crew about the egg's location prior to its arrival at a museum, giving the crew time to steal it and switch it with a fake. Toulour steals the fake and gloats at his seeming victory until Danny and Tess Ocean arrive to tell him the truth. Le Marque has now discredited Toulour, Ocean now has the money needed to repay Terry Benedict from Toulour, and Le Marque reunites with his daughter, Europol agent Isabel Lahiri. Lahiri had been tracking Le Marque and Toulour during her career. He actually set the entire thing in motion when he did not disagree when an acquaintance called Ocean the greatest thief in the world during a conversation with Le Marque and Toulour. This led to Toulour's need to prove himself to his mentor and set the game in motion with Ocean's crew.

Specifically, she pretends to be taken in by Lila and uses her position as the class representative to cater to her every whim... while forcing Adrien and the rest of the class to do the same. The whole plan hinges on the idea that if everyone is inconvenienced by Lila's lies, including him, Adrien will have to recognize how harmful they are, while the others will find the motivation to actually look into her claims and realize the truth. This approach is Deconstructed in the Recursive Fanfic Long Con, which emphasizes just how draining this approach is for Marinette, especially in terms of the length of time it takes to execute. Having to spend so much time and effort catering to Lila is emotionally, physically and psychologically taxing for her, and she doesn't enjoy seeing how much her friends are suffering in the meantime.
