The Biggest Noob Slam In America! Risk Fixed Friday

[@aleksszukovskis2074]

"Lets see if black knows how to play" -famous last words

[@kevinglynn9593]

One thing I have learned from Risk is its an extremely respectful community. Everyone acknowledges when someone has made a good play or even when losing we all say good game to each other.

[@Eboss82828]

lol except when you unknowingly noob slam Pete and an entire community roasts you

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

The big reason I stuck around is I thought that the right people were running the show and toxicity is kept to a minimum

[@joelwillems4081]

LOL! The last game I played was like a love-fest with all the "Good Games". Except for me who got the first kill when an apparently "expert" player got impatient to take Africa as I was moving through it and hit my 5. Yeah, I traded in and killed him on the next turn for his five cards and then had the SA/Africa position. I gave him no 'Good Game' for that move of his. But after that, it was a lot of love. It was two masters, an expert, and intermediate and I am still at intermediate. So none of the novices or beginners who sometimes lack the respect simply because they haven't learned it all yet.

[@nolansaylor7710]

34:03 I've done the pushups with you before, it is indeed helpful to have someone to stay in shape with. That said it's a lot harder to do it with you when I keep watching you at double speed.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I'm very excited as well. Lots of good ideas coming.

[@benschny7429]

Nice but for the 5 years I’ve watched Pete it’s been a roller coaster

[@TalmadgeSane]

Ok gotta weigh in here. First off, I'm a subscriber and a big fan and credit a lot of my progress to Pete. Super honored to have randomly been in one of his games and somehow pulled out the win.

[@TalmadgeSane]

As for the match itself, I loved seeing people comment and critique a match that I was in for the first time. It was great to see what so many people were thinking. I only saw one comment where someone actually sided with me though and realized what I was doing. I moved my stack to Afghanistan in an attempt to shake things up and it worked. White made a move and I never "traded" bonuses with him and took a lesser bonus. Instead, I got out of the way of a player that was clearly looking to be reckless, gave him other targets and let it all unfold while I kept a big single stack that wasn't blocked in. Black and I had been friendly the whole game and in the end he communicated basically that he would attack Pink (sorry didn't know it was Pete at the time) and for that, I had to give him 2nd place. It was a great game, loved the experience.

[@romeocrz]

​@@TalmadgeSane I think Black player was a trash bag all the game, but super passive ways of play is also an strategy so GG to all the players

[@TalmadgeSane]

​@@romeocrzhe was, and I agree with everything Pete was saying about him but, in the beginning rounds we gave each other leeway to get our respective bonuses and on my end, he was way more active with the communications and when it popped off, he dug into Pink to secure things so I felt obligated to give him 2nd

[@myeyesarecircles4009]

Nope, not buying it. Pete clearly tried to get you to work with him to attack White. You agreed, you failed to live up to your end. If you wanted nothing to do with a volatile player, then don’t manipulate another player into doing just that. You knew what you were doing. And then act like someone else did more for you. Doesn’t make sense. Very scummy.

[@naterosendahl9071]

All I want to point out is Black was the reason for the stalement & ultimate suicide by white by failing to choke up the deadliest trap into Saudi Arabia. Especially when he was largest stack for the majority of the game AND the only one to split his troops on his entire border bc he didn't fully ever trust you or Pete clearly. People that play that scared don't deserve 2nd, communication or not.

[@rogergeyer9851]

The original Blade Runner was fantastic. I'm a huge PKD (Phillip K. Dick) fan -- he's the guy who wrote the novel ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?") that the movie is loosely based on. The movie both honored the spirit / feel / substance of the novel, AND made a huge stride by completely changing the nature of the Nexus 6 Androids, allowing some GREAT commentary on the human condition, etc. (i.e. Roy Batty's (Rutger Hauer) final "Tears in rain" speech), which as a newly minted senior citizen, STILL brings tears to my eyes, it was so well done. Also, PKD, per his commentary while it was being made was VERY excited about the massive special effects in Blade Runner. Sadly, he died in early 1982 in his 50's (doing lots of serious drugs DOES have significant consequences over time).

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

❤️ not good consequences?

[@battlebotsreviewer9812]

This is interesting to me because I think white was playing correctly in not wanting Aus and trying to upgrade to NA. I don't think he did it correctly, but I see that he wanted out of Aus and I think it was correct for him to try and do.

[@przedwczorajszyszprot9931]

It was correct thing to do when they had early troop advantage. When that advantage was gone they should stay in australia, turtle and wait for occasion.

[@battlebotsreviewer9812]

yeah. I would have brought the 30 in and given Aus to purple. @@przedwczorajszyszprot9931

[@washyleopard]

Like pete said, if they wanted out of aus they should have given aus up. They could have combined troops in NA and had double petes stack, forcing him out instead. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too.

[@joelwillems4081]

@@washyleopard Yep, but would have been out of it then. Purple might have taken Aus after that and then Pete would have had SA with no external positions. Then you just turtle and don't threaten either Black or White and hope for a break and that they don't kill you.

[@benrund-scott1598]

Howdy Pete! Been watching for awhile, just very recently started actually playing. Got my first win on Europe Adv Caps (albeit fixed, not prog). Got a glorious Spain, West Africa and France set up, beat down the noob cap player and let a massive middle board bot fight the orient/Russia player. Got my timing perfect, I give you all the credit

[@tarquinioprisco8459]

im at 20:30 and I must say, I understand the white player for sticking their business into NA if they didn't you would have taken NA, black would have taken SA and now white would have been the Australia player where 3 other people got 5 troops a turn and there was still a risk for a purple noob slam in australia I wouldn't want to just mind my business in Asia either if I were them

[@tarquinioprisco8459]

at 22:35 for example I would have fortified my 12 from venezuela into the 11 in NA to allow white to get to SA and get out of the way while also not appearing like a greedy mofo who wants all the americas for himself would that have been a bad play on my part?

[@tarquinioprisco8459]

46:14

[@DaTimmeh]

As mentioned, he shouldve moved out of aus, Had Double the stack, and bullied Pete out of NA. The problem is not committing fully. Cuz that way Pete bullied him out of NA.

[@SimplyMatter]

“Let’s see if black knows how to play…” immediately slams all his troops into you. Oops! Very strange. At first I thought he blamed you for white slamming through him… but then I wonder if he and red were collaborating

[@TalmadgeSane]

I can assure you we weren't. Not any more than Pete and I were in the sense that we were allies in the game. What people don't seem to notice is that the way board looked for black. His stacks were in Egypt and East Africa. He owned Saudi Arabia so couldn't move through there and Pete Pete moved armies to Ukraine and Kamchatka. Black made the move to take 2nd instead of 3rd, which many do in these situations.

[@SimplyMatter]

⁠​⁠​⁠I can believe it, but still very little reason for black to think he can’t win. If anything, by taking SA, he and Pete can try to pull off deadliest trap and go 1/2. I believe this is what Pete means when he asks if black knows how to play. Instead he guarantees 2nd at best.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

We immediately learn he does not. It was just a lazy alliance play. Give up playing to win and feed the game to red.

[@ipsylon9833]

Noob question here, perhaps. On the white kill, given that he has only 1 card. isn't it a good idea to just feed the kill to someone else instead of losing around ten troops? I think you kinda painted a target on your back, because killing white made you have more than half the board. Idk, maybe the result would have been the same

[@joelwillems4081]

Agreed. Personally, I would have stopped after taking back NA. Maybe broke his bonus in Europe so he'd stay weak. But the vengeance thirst is greater when playing in the moment then when just watching. I recently got a second doing a similar thing. But we were both way behind in troops to the top guy so a first probably wasn't gonna happen. I didn't want top guy to chose to give me third instead since they both broke me in the same round.

[@ΧάρηςΠαπαδογιάννης]

Red and black were good to each other the entire game, the fact that you were also good to them from a point on mattered when there were 4 players alive, not when there were 3. I would have done the same thing as black the moment white died (maybe hit you a little less so I would have a better chance on the 1v1). Black still went to top 2 with that play, and he did it in a tenth of the time it would’ve taken had he tried to choke red, just because it wasn’t favourable to you doesn’t mean it was a bad play. Love your videos Pete but you tend to not take it very well when your opponents make plays that make you lose, even if you would’ve done (and actually have done many times in videos) the exact same thing (when you are playing against randoms, and not against top players in tournaments).

[@braden8121]

Black made a play for second by feeding Pete's kill. Pete would not feed the kill of one of his opponent's into a losing position. That's why it's a bad play

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

@braden8121 exactly, going from a winning position to a losing position is what makes it a bad play.

[@ΧάρηςΠαπαδογιάννης]

@@braden8121 yes, I said that hitting Pete too much was a mistake and also I didn’t deny that it was maybe a bad play overall, but it was a reasonable play that most people would have made, black simply mishandled. Also, red played it completely correctly and was called an asshole for it.

[@adamjosey1543]

I think that by parking a 95 stack in Iceland you pissed off Red and White because White can't hold it and Red can't take it back. But what do I know, I'm only a Master level with less than 50 hours played.

[@TalmadgeSane]

It definitely pissed off white, which I was glad to see. It was the end game so bonuses and territories were out the window really. It was all down to who was going to attack whom.

[@adamjosey1543]

@TalmadgeSane I thought White played well (until the end). He was looking for an alternative to Australia but worked with Pete and left NA. Red made himself the fish by trading Europe for Australia. Black just sat back, played it cool, and earned a well-deserved win.

[@michaelhoogendoorn3179]

Anytime Pete doesn't win, it seems like he says the other players are playing "incorrectly." Is there a wrong way to play to win that doesn't involve luck?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

There's no objectively wrong way to play. There is an objectively wrong way to play if you're playing to win. Not playing to win opens up a whole range of options. Like in this case when black downgraded from a guaranteed second, possible first to a guaranteed second.

[@michaelhoogendoorn3179]

@TheKillPeteStrategy I gotcha. So because of black's option to wreck you, he only came second, and that's what makes it incorrect play. I know you always play to win, but I think many of us get into our heads when playing and settle for simple high placement anytime the odds look tough.

[@bstripp1]

Love the channel. But, is it a scumbag play to try and be opportunistic? Even if you've been good friends to someone, when there's a chance to take the lead you take it. Otherwise you get into a stalemate and pay until someone wants to end and suicides. I've seen you do similar things to allies, although you usually try to make sure your allies place high.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

For sure you wanna help out your allies. Black downgraded from a guaranteed second, chance for first to a guaranteed second. Not playing to win provides all sorts of strategic advantages in FFA. It also happens to be not playing to win, so I call it out. I also play for second if there's no chance for first. That wasn't the case here.

[@alexclark9144]

[@sargantfrosty]

[@mullemeck5923]

Why do you keep referring to NA as yours, and insinuate that white should have been nice to you since you spent a 3 in australia? Australia is literally +2 and so is SA. He has the same right to NA as you. Furthermore, he is playing a tactically great game when blocking you and red becoming the NA/EU duo. Or he wanted SA and should have communicated better, but nevertheless you should have pulled the 12 stack up as he was in western us. He gets 4 and you get 5.

[@TheDannytaz]

He would have played a great game by moving all his stack in NA

[@mullemeck5923]

Nobody should do anything just because I want them to do it. It's a bunch of moves and counter moves. If white moved their stack into NA, I might have just killed them.

[@Moorooten]

I think blacks last move makes some kind of sense, he went from last in troops to a high chance of getting second within a short time frame. Working with you would cause the game to play another 10-40 min and would not ensure him a higher placement. Since white was only sitting on one card after the suicide I think I would only have taken EU and consolidated my troops into one army if I where playing your seat. It would have left you in a less vulnerable position, in MY opinion.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

He had second either way. He chose to downgrade from second with a chance for first to guaranteed second.

[@jdlightsey]

I think you just confused black with your final move. He should have just broken SA/NA or taken SA/NA, but you had troops guarding both NA and Europe. Instead he threw the game to red.
