DART Risk

I just surrendered and gave my number. Discord is basically the only way left to PM people I wanna stay in contact with online that works both on a phone and computer and isn't fucking Skype.

Skype is owned by Microsoft, all your data is sold to the Illuminati regularly and IP leaks on skype are a real thing, never trust that shit.

Google Hangouts are dead. G+ is defunct, you reveal your real email with every new contact you make on it now, pretty much and if not yet, it's only a matter of time until that happens. Also, due to G+ dying out, less people use the Hangouts, which makes it a defunct means to chat to strangers and friends online anyway.

FB IM is literally dox-worthy in how it forces you to reveal your real info, same with Twitter.

Thus, it's worth to sacrifice my privacy with Discord. The most I believe they will do is sell my usage data to gaming companies or their tech team, which is totally fair enough. As long as you keep your head down, Discord respects your privacy.

Conan : what is best in life?

“To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”

Lmao what’s your commentary on how people played the game?

I technically did better than you lol. I gave up towards the end

Looking at the reply, imo supa had the best strategy. WF overextended himself.

RM was just being an idiot lol

RM didn’t have a great starting position. Supa and you started off in the best locations.

Ya but you started near inexperience lol.

Sorry I thought it was going to be like a 1 turn a day thing

Pfft, my win was based on the pure and unadulterated application of game theory

I am sorry. The meta in usual Risk is to play aggro af. I didn't think others would be so passive around each other. I also was scared you were allying the others either side of you, and I only know you were near me at that point, meaning you'd have 2-3 allies including myself, while I'd depend on your mercy. I assumed Ramshutu and dudz would be at each other's throats in the positions that they were in, which is very normal to happen in ranked games there. I was wrong. The meta in these games is much more about passivity in the earlygame. I will conform to it next time.

I’ve played risk in the past. My strat was to Mongolian bulrush people and get the territory. He took his division and did well. I know what I need to do next time

Above was for you 

The game has a some key differences from risk, fixed loss ratio, limits attacks only to adjacent territories and no initial position selection (at least the rules for that game).

If your fighting two people at a time at the start - you’ll be destroyed. The focus is on minimizing the number of fronts you’re fighting on, whilst pushing expansion.

The issue with WaterPhoenix approach, is that he expanded rapidly, with no defending armies; then spread attacks thinly. It means he was inviting attacks on all sides, when he pushed out to the point he was touching multiple people. Why attack a person with 10 armies when you could attack with 0.

RMs split his forces over two locations, and branched out to attack the first person he saw; but the expansion meant he was fighting a war on

3 fronts in two locations, meaning he could either defend one, or get beaten in both locations. There were a lot of examples of him pushing out, then losing the territory he came from - doing that in two locations meant he rapidly got squeezed out of the game.

Supa did the same thing, imo he had the strongest position starting in New England - But didn’t capitalize until he hit a wall against WF and RM. He had a good strategy with the push from west, but pushed out from two sides which weakened his overall force. 

Ilikepie also had a decent strategy, but was caught between WF and RM so couldn’t do much.

My strategy was a good old fashioned Risk Steamroll. Push west continually from one location, capture continents, maintain a large enough army base to dissuade attacks. Worked pretty well. I expanded a little slower than others, but had enough defensive force that I did not get attacked until I was too powerful to stop. I pushed west, then when I reached the Midwest, I wiped out supas west side in pretty much two rounds. From there I was getting a large enough bonus that I just cleaned up.

I would have much preferred to start as supa than anyone else; ilikepie probably had the worst position.

I am practising. I ask please for a rematch at some stage. I am very, very good at this kind of thinking but I didn't know much about the game Risk in itself and misunderestimated the importance of building forces.

I will start another one whenever I can with more poeple. Next one may be Sunday

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS
