Am I a Hero or a Zero? Risk Meta Settings

[@jdkghadofgaofg]

I've seen this play before, black as a master plays for second place or the win by letting you and red hit eachother. He knows he is no threat to either of you so he can guarantee himself the second spot, for example if red gets wiped out, he could end red for the second place finish.

[@FreePete]

Ok that makes a lot of sense. It's advanced playing for second strategy.

[@englthom]

Classic No-Cap Survival Strat

[@Sputz032]

I agree, and he kept hitting Pete because hitting 1's benefitted him much more than a possible bad roll on a small cap. At least until his stack was big enough.

[@compactinfinity]

​@@FreePeteit is also a strategic in a sense where the other players decide to fight eachother only, in the chance the destroy eachother via suicide then he can come in an frolic to victory.

[@scotthill5717]

Pete comes out of the Great White North saying "Winter is Coming!"

[@nureddinz]

13:00 Oh, right the blue, don't stop.

[@FreePete]

He Blue it

[@Vyctor__]

It's insane how close black was to a viable caprun at 37:00. We don't see red's Spain cap obviously but it can't be big.

[@phillipcrittendon9172]

I think it was around 40. So good rolls an he might get it.

[@dallumm]

I love how some Pete games are full try hard during tournaments. And then there’s this where he laughs like a mad man at the absurdity of other players cap choices

[@FreePete]

It was such a silly open, I really loved it.

[@half55-qo1tq]

9:30 maybe there was a pink stack guarding split orient. Pink probably took it that turn

[@joshua2848]

Hey Pete discovered you a week ago and have been binging the content, so good! Thanks to watching your prog capital endgame where you did the nasty card block, I have been able to outplay GMs in my last few games, thanks for the great gameplay and excellent vibes

[@FreePete]

🙏🙏🙏 always trying to keep the vibes good

[@ZackRahmoun]

My level is expert on the game but because I am constantly watching you , yesterday I managed to pull some high elo play by first card blocking a master and kill him on the next three turns then started to address the player with big bonus (red-master) and survived the fight and finally , a grand master player (black) was going ham on me while fighting red so I take an oath to grant him 3rd position and I did 🎉🎉

[@compactinfinity]

Wow whay a begining .also.if yoh were wonderimg whay was going on, im sure you figured it out later (im still im the beginning) pink had a big stack.protecting his orient bonus. Purps tried to block him out. It was a further confirmation when the turn before you took a look, pink went to russia to snatch purps cap and take back his northern orient position. Bit oops, the ol petman was there cuz purps is a psycho with where he put his cap. This in turn caused magenta to loose his shit and slam his stsck against red and whoever else. Ie red got bug and hit him, and he wasn't stopping anyone with his number since he was focused on putting troops in to protect his bonus lol.

Can’t wait to consume your risk content for lunch today🍴Thanks Pete, keep it up!!

[@belshanaar6317]

What the hell did I just watch? This match was a fever dream.

[@FreePete]

haha it was a fun one

[@kevinbarr5169]

Oh man that was quite a twist last 2 spots and ends up winning that was some dam good luck man

[@Reorganiser]

I had an absolute blast watching this

[@FreePete]

Yeah man! It was a rollercoaster game

[@Niklamir]

[@FreePete]

As do I

[@noctusfury6918]

It's obvious that Black either had an under-the-table alliance with Red, or he's playing for second place by not being threatening to Red by only attacking you. Personally, though, I would've been more aggressive rather than turtling up so much. I agree that Black was being too passive there. That 105+ stack was perfect to attack your 3 caps before you stacked up too many troops there. Or I could've made an alliance with you to gang up on Red, who was the most powerful player at the time. That being said, they both did well this game. You had it rough. 😅

[@FreePete]

It really felt like that to me too but I'm not sure.

[@davidstears7037]

Title is accurate. Early game was insane. No idea why you tried taking on Black. XD

[@Reorganiser]

Pete why did you go for the black kill at the end? You knew he had two 50 caps whereas red only had one 70 cap bc he threw his last two gens and his entire set into you. He was definetely the weakest player on the board. It felt like they were teaming tho since black didn't have any reason to be antagonized by you plus red stole his cap. And then he stole 2 red caps back and red still went for you. Seemed fishy

[@FreePete]

It's weird to me it did feel like they were teaming but there's no way. I was too locked in on black. Zero

[@joshuadavis1770]

This was amazing. Neither Blue or Purple saw your cap. You were the only one who saw all three caps. Amazing start.

[@tomalator]

Purple did, purple literally chose a kissing capital

[@LimitBreakr424]

Don't want to spoil . . How rough would turn 1 taking purple cap go? Idk 11v4cap odds and would have to keep stacks on both

[@FreePete]

There's a lot of risk to that in a vacuum if you get bad dice but it's compounded by the fact that blue is right there and gets to see that

[@LimitBreakr424]

​@@FreePeteah yeah. I was thinking some safety from blue not seeing initial cap and only that second cap would be small

[@washyleopard]

It would have been a 12 v 4 roll, even with good dice and losing 6 troops you now have 2 caps with 3 each and blue can take them right back

[@risk_live]

No real benefit to taking purples cap either. It’s only an extra two troops and now you have two caps to defend, with a blue cap keeping you from getting your bonus. Also, as it turns out, pink was in there with a stack to protect orient bonus. Pete wouldn’t have been able to do what purple did, which was clear pink out of there, leading pink to bot out.

[@jameswinsor8870]

From hero too zero in 2.5 seconds that's my name in the bedroom

[@FreePete]

OH BABYYYYY

[@mohda201057]

31:13 you should tried cap run at this time 😆😆

[@WhatWouldYourFutureYouSay]

Another Great Video!!!!

[@scottcunning4221]

When purple lost 10 troops off their cap, was magenta stacking next to them preparing to roll their cap?

[@orangborang]

pink was trying to hold the split orient and purple most likely saw that was an act of agression

[@FreePete]

haha so instead of magenta rolling his cap he rolls it himself and I get everything lol

[@QuillandCollie]

What a wild game!

[@DadBodRunning]

I'm a little surprised you didn't roll purples cap on a 12v4 I suppose its usually a bad move?

[@FreePete]

Blue sees that. Too risky

[@roguebuccaneer4204]

I have no idea what I just witnessed

[@jasonroblow5162]

a rare pete throw

[@dylandryden6525]

I think pink put a stack in Russia to hold orient and that's what black smashed

[@witch.y]

oh my god that start bahahahahahhah

[@FreePete]

It was very silly

[@Mert-yc5jt]

King Pete !

[@Rushfelt33]

You'll always Hero to me Pete

[@jeffreyfulkerson9684]

Pete you threw that game at the end. You were out earning them and in a good spot. I'm not sure what you went out on black. Black seemed to have more troops on cap than red.

[@FreePete]

Oh god

[@Baldy.TheOnlyOne]

The difference a single letter can make... 🤔

[@cryptorichierich1597]

lol “both my opponents are mentally ill” 😂

[@risk_live]

You had the win in hand I thought and blew it up on a very low % black kill. Least you had fun.

[@FreePete]

Haha yeah, I fucked that one up

[@euandouglas4674]

No way red and black arent collaberatimg, red knowing where ur cap was, black not taking a cap.

[@FreePete]

Their play did seem fishy but there's no way they're teaming right?

[@CaseyBarbee]

From reds perspective, he’s seen the entire board except Russia, and there’s 3 caps in Russia, so it was probably obvious where the caps were even if he didn’t see them

[@Selenkate]

what a weird game
