Me and Jared (Apollyon) play that game every now and then. I've only played in one 3 player game, but it was incredible.

Our friend Matt had all of South America, but that was about it, so he just fortified the hell out of it. So me and Jared "teamed up" to take him out. During this siege of South America, I took a couple pot shots at Jared's forces in Asia, but convinced him we were still working together, all while building up my forces along the Europe-Asia border (Ukraine, Afghanistan, Poland, etc.).

After breaking through and taking South America, I unleashed all of my forces into Asia, which was left horribly under-defended because Jared was throwing everything he had at our friend. I conquered the entire continent of Asia in two turns, then polished off Matt, who had moved headquarters to Australia.

Possibly the proudest moment of my life. I actually tricked somebody into allowing me to beat them in two turns.

That's awesome, I was playing a 4 player game one time and I was pushed right back until the only territories I had were Indonesia and Eastern Australia. The rest of the guys figured I wasn't going anywhere and were fighting amongst themselves while I slowly fortified and conquered. I took all Europe and all Asia in less than 10 moves. Then went on to win the game.

Best. Game. Ever.

Incredible.

That game is fun as hell. It makes me feel smart when I pull something off.

I've charged out of Brazil like a madman and beaten everyone before.

I was stuck there, with not many men, and they all were expecting me to sit there and build my armies, and because they got all confident I was done, they tried to jokingly taunt me by withdrawing all their forces in South America other than one battalion.

So I went for it, because I knew they didn't think I'd actually do it.

5 Battalions later I have a VERY WEAK hold on South America, so my friend says "I'll ally with you and protect you for 3 turns". I was like ok, so I built back up an army while he kept me safe, and then with 20 battalions I went for it, and came out without losing a single man, and I had North America and Africa.

From there, I pushed out and surrounded the last man in Ukraine. Attacking at all sides, I won.

I am a RISK master lol.

That and it was late at night and I think everyone else was making alot of stupid decisions.

Im finishing the game from a few nights ago tonight, my friend left it set up.

I dont like playing 2 person RISK, theres not enough diplomacy involved, so I usually play with about 4, but I have played a couple of 6 person games.

I think the key is patience. You shouldnt take a continent too early, it will make you too much of a target, and if your continent isnt well defended and somebody plants a nail in it (major attack to stop you from getting extra armies and being annoying), then your best bet is to just try and pull your troops out of the continent entirely and have one massive force, then go for australia or south american a few turns later and rebuild/

Also, NEVER GO FOR ASIA. If somebody is holding asia and it [i]isnt[/i] basically the end of the game, then all of the other players are stupid. Also, many a time ive heard Europe described as a 'fools errand', but I win a lot of games by taking europe early on. Its just that you [i]need[/i] to make a border alliance somewhere to hold it easier. Usually, there isnt a lot of forces in asia since its not a good continent to target, and the Greenland/Iceland alliance is common, so Africa is probably your next target.

Hahahaha, this thread is dominated by RISK.

I love Europe. It's my domain basically. I find anytime I take Europe first things go well.

Sup pp. Been a while. Who's still here? Who's not here anymore? Same ol' same ol'?

:)

[QUOTE=Lightning Strikes Twice;13648123]I love Europe. It's my domain basically. I find anytime I take Europe first things go well.[/QUOTE]

Yup.

I always end up going for europe or africa first, but then because the one of those 2 im not going for always has 2 people competing for it, I feel unsafe trying to establish a continent that close to a major warzone (dont want all kind of the losers refugees to be forced towards me), so I end up going into South America.

IAN: I dont know who all left, I dont know if anyone did, its just mad dead around here. RISK is still fun to talk about though, so its all good.

We need to get an online version of it and all play each other, that would be sick.

Risk is fun indeed. I don't get to play it much and when I do it's only with the fam.

It appears mad dead all over the forums. Heh, I guess everyone else realized at the same time as I did that I hate the internet. The only real reason I go on anymore is to get a tab maybe, or download something from iTunes.

See, everyone says that, and that just makes it more fun for the people who stuck around.

Pop-punk is dead, I dont know about the rest of the forums, the only other one I really go in is hxc, and thats doing fine.

They should just delete the pop punk forum / merge it with the pop/pop rock forum.

Hey Adam, why do you still suck today?

Dont be mean to adam, hes a bitter old man. He acts this way because of the music he listens to.
i heart you adam<3

Adam's still kinda a cool guy to me.

Once you turn 18 there is no turning back. You are old and grumpy forever.

Also my musical opinions don't really fit well with many people here.

Yeah, especially since you said Rites of Spring are bad.

Its so over between us.

adams a really cool person imo!

imo thats like emo lolol

Music sucks.

Yeah pretty much.

I agree.

Music is for fags.

Same with chicks, they're for fags too.

Yeah totally, only gay people do chicks.

Seriously though, why not? Theyre so awesome.

NIIIIIINETEEEEEEN 'N' CRYIN' FOR EUUUUULAAAAAALIAAAAAA!!!!!!

Because I'm much to lazy to hunt down some stuff on LimeWire or even search for a myspace/purevolume.

Limewire is gay. Soulseek for the win.

Zomg. I am going to die. Wired phone ---> mobile phone, two hours on both monday and tuesday. I should take out a loan now.

Question..

I'm burning 2 CD's of whatever I want for the girl I like (She told me to put whatever I want on them)..If on the inside of the CD case, on the paper, I wrote her something, I'm not even sure what, but something..would it be..gay or? lol

Why yes it would.

:(

k.

:)

In other news... it's like 40 degrees celcius here. ****in hot.

Stew MIGHT have a date for tomorrow night.

Let's celebrate this possible event as it's going to be a first for me in a LONG time.

I'm on the fence about new Brand New.

It seems to lack alot of punch and "pop".

It seems pretty concrete for what it does though.

:chug:

Lets also talk about how I have never been on a date ever because, not to sound arrogant, but I dont feel like any chick has been deserving of my sweet, sweet lovin' because most of them are whores and lie about everything, except for like 3, but theyre ugly and im wayyyy picky, even though this one chick 2 grades below me is pretty and easy to talk to and almost as painfully blunt as me so its all cool but I really dont understand why im not trying harder to get with her because shes one of the only girls I can trust n stuff.

RUN ON SENTENCES FTW

You need to start putting the cobert mojo in effect my friend.

But I dont know how to.

:upset:

Its ok, neither do I.

There is a girl at work I would love to violate in highly illegal ways, though.

Very rarely is there a chick that I look at and think I WANT TO FU[size=2]C[/size]K HER.

It has happened, though.

Happens to me all of the time.

Never happened to me.
