I love you too bro.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to play to win. I prefer that over making anyone lose. I don't really have anything against any of my oppronents and I get why white saw that as his best play turn one.

I'm not trying to put out negative vibes.

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Understandable I just think people don’t understand competition some times but I know you also care about creating a good show and being well to others. Keep up the good work. I am enjoying the content everyday!

I think most of you guys who were made uncomfortable by Pete reacting to the early game are misreading exactly how "angry" he was? After attempting to suggest alternate ways for white to proceed he took the bonus even though Pete was clear with what would happen if he did? This isn't friends sitting around a table, its competition. He was simply sternly commenting on the fact that that is what he will do if such a play happens every time. I don't personally think that Pete was ever "out of control".

He went a little off temper but understandably so when you try to negotiate with some one and they make the play regardless without talking through things. If you cant negotiate there and you already became the fish you might as well make the guy who made you lose suffer to. Basic competitive instinct. Yet he still negotiated into a second so cant blame his strategy.

Yeah man. Folks have a hard time with negative emotion. I get that since I imagine a lot of people are watching the show to unwind

Well if you tried negotiating and someone didnt care and rolled through a huge portion of your troops turn 1 you would probably be upset to especially in a competitive enviroment.

@@fluxifygaming2827 it's a free for all game dude. Nobody owes anybody a favor

Yeah, this was an unfortunate distraction from a game with some great players

Wait, Gus was green...?

It's called the screen marker and recorder app

I mean Pete did hinge his open on a 5v2 with really no troops to guard an OP turn 1 bonus. He shouldn’t be too surprised someone didn’t just let him win haha

Sometimes people make moves that seem like the right move for them in a vacuum. I play in a very consistent way. And I play in public. So it's rarely in a vacuum for me. If I'm known to always retaliate than people are able to make their decisions as informed ones, not in a vacuum and play accordingly.

😻😻😻

Exactly. I'm glad it worked out that way eh!

Oh yeah he definitely has no obligation to play any way. Im making the point that the fact that I will always retaliate in that scenario means that it's absolutely not the best play for himself. Im not going to call you names and I'd appreciate if you'd avoid the same.

@@TheKillPeteStrategy absolutely Pete, didn’t call you a name, and will continue not to do so…

Thats what it means to have a basic understanding of FFA game theory ​@@zepplo9309

@@zepplo9309 in a competitive enviroment this promotes self preservation of both parties or equal demise. This is a tactic used in diplomacy all the time, considering this is a game especially where communication is present, works. It is not a sore loser play. Its basically saying if you are going to make me lose you better finish me off.

@@ethanharrison5414 You called him a child when you said "felt a little childish". Doesn't have to be explicitly stated... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt you genuinely believed what you just said. And to translate Pete's point it was not the best play for white because of the common knowledge of what Pete does to people who break him which White highly likely knew by how he was nervous turn 1 and had to think long and hard before committing to hitting Pete. It it not childish to be frustrated in a game your passionate about like Risk is to Pete stop trying to sound like your righteous.

??? In a negotiation game, he offered to leave the bonus if white wanted it. White declined and smashed him and took it. Could you elaborate what Pete did wrong here? I would have spent the rest of the game sending all my troops into white and taking 6th place. If anyone needs to take a step back and learn from the game, it’s white.

I definitely care what the viewers think. But you haven't suggested what it is I have to learn?

​@@TheKillPeteStrategy Does one typically grow more from being told they're wrong, or through self-reflection?

@@BenClaar Not you being sarcastic and trying to sound smart lol. There is no right or wrong here just opinion so stop trying to sound righteous goof. It happens to everyone we have games we get immersed in and are passionate about. Getting frustrated is a human emotion that is harmless and ok I hope nobody ever pays for therapy/advice from you 💯

​@@TheKillPeteStrategy Appreciate it! Before I explain my point of view I just wanted to say I hope this comes across as someone who sees something they didn't like and wants to put awareness on it. After that do whatever you like with my words. All I have is love for you Pete<3 It felt like you let your anger get the best of you. I'm not talking about the RISK side of things. Going after white after he broke your bonus is fine. I'm talking about your energy/emotions after at 4:32 - 5:45. You just seemed pretty ticked off in your energy/emtions toward Carter (white). Carter already seemed hesitant about attacking you as it seemed he was scared of your reaction. The reaction or whatever you want to call it came after you broke the bonus he stole from you. It made me understand why he was hesitant to break you. I think the silence after you finished speaking at 5:17 said a lot too and then someone broke the silence with "number 1 rule don't mess with Pete..." Felt like the mood took a shift during that silence. Let me say I understand. I've had BAD anger throughout my life. My 28 now. It's something I continue to work on. I don't take you as an angry type but as a human, I understand that it is something we can all feel, and sometimes it gets the better of us in moments. Still happens to me. I'm just lucky enough to not have thousands of people (like myself) self-analyzing you right now, lol. I've seen some of the other comments and I'm guessing it's not fun to read them. I understand your anger, and I understand your reaction, but it still doesn't make it right to put on to Carter. If anything I'd talk with Carter to see his point of view. I've never typed so much in my life to anyone on KZbin. The only reason why is because I really admire you and your points of view. Much love!

I'm sorry that it wasnt clear because it bears repeating. The fact that I will always retaliate when someone does that makes it not the best play.

​@@TheKillPeteStrategyI think what the other guy is saying (and white's idea there) is that if white fortified properly, your only immediate course of retaliation would be a 6v7 to break (low odds). Maybe your point is that you would go mutually assured destruction anyways and even failing the roll would likely take off enough white troops for someone else to swoop in.

how is speaking truthfully bullying

Dude how is it a bullying? If you are white, part of the play of kicking Pete out is the retaliation. Carter made no attempt to compromise.

The three player scenario is rough in a points based tournament with vc. Rather than get teamed on its safer for me to take a bounty and second.

Everyone should always just let me win

the subtle nodding too lol, it's a tell for Pete

You are attributing too much emotionality to strategic retaliation

@@TheKillPeteStrategy part of what makes you a compelling watch is you wear your heart on your sleeve, it's not a massive deal but it was a little uncomfortable when you were obviously mad about white taking your bonus

​@@joburgmaydayyou say it was 'uncomfortable' but honestly how else is he supposed to react to that?

@@paulolazaro9569 he could remember it's a game and you don't have to get steamed about it when talking to people on VC - it's not fun to watch. or not, it's his channel and he can do what he likes. Pete is usually open to feedback though!

It was a very stressful open for sure

There's a lot of play to that 1v1. It goes on for more than half an hr. But it has to be both I think. Starting at a 400 troop deficit and closing the cap to 250 before he could act was crucial. If he was better he could have outplayed me. But I had to work for it, which I like.

The best cage is the one with invisible bars. We don't know what we can't percieve.

Hi Pete, thanks for the answer ;) I like your guidelines👍 Sure, but if there's no sign for an invisible cage, why postulate one? You see good reasons to think there's a cage then?

Wait, I'm the bad guys?
