Round 5 of the Risk Legends Tournament!

[@marieltr]

I liked the conversation at the end about winning. I'm a fan of F1 and there's a reason why up and coming drivers say you have to have a certain mentality about not giving any ground to Hamilton (for example) because you respect him too much. I think this conversation is universal in competition. It's interesting you had the conversation so openly.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I lot of people like to chime in on this part of the conversation while missing much of the context. My favourite part of FFA competition is the self corrective function. A player who is a known quantity or known to be 'good' faces additional scrutiny. I literally named my channel after it. I'm happy to have all my conversations out in the open because that's how we figure out what we actually think.

[@consciousconscience]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Agreed. And every seasoned strategy gamer knows this as well; metagaming itself is a skill and in such delivers meritous and honorable wins. That being the case, not only is there no shame in winning by leveraging your metagame influence, but much credit and honor to be gained from winning by leveraging these skills as well. As a poker pro myself, it's immediately obvious that your friend, although a great strategist, is not a live player (he focuses on online play) because the headgames, table talk and other skills needed to succeed live are in fact rich and deep skill trees that can seriously raise your edge, and there's no reason why these wouldn't apply to boardgames as well. I've been to many live boardgame tournies and establishing a good metagame presence seems to be an essential edge there as well, so there's no rational reason why it shouldn't be a factor in the digital version.

[@donalddavis7423]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy thing is the wins you get from people wanting to get on your good side are outweighed by people targeting you for your record/because it is you, at least before they started hiding records. With hidden records it might slant the other way now but I just found your channel recently so I have been watching a lot of old content. It also might still slant to people not targeting you during tournaments because you are playing with more established people but my mind hasn't been separating it all to notice. Either way it is a double-edged sword.

[@nZifnab]

I agree that high-level fixed games (ESPECIALLY with zombies) are a lot more interesting to watch when fog is on. These settings were particularly problematic because it's basically a stalemate until the zombies decide to infect the next player (basically eliminating them). So if you got infected early on, you'd be safe, but if your stack of 120 gets infected, you lose immediately. It's just going to be random and doesn't particularly reward skillful play. Just add fog to these settings and you'll have a more interesting game

[@outputcoupler7819]

With regard to the conversation starting around 1:06:00, about cheating, I have some thoughts. The most important thing to remember is that you can NEVER completely eliminate cheating. Cheaters will find a way, no matter what you do. So when you compromise the game to "stop" cheaters, all you get a compromised game. If you can make cheating harder while making changes that aren't detrimental to the game, then great. Do those things. But there's no end to the rabbit hole of "Let's just compromise the game a little bit because we're afraid of cheaters." It's best to just not go down it, and accept that some amount of cheaters will need to be dealt with the hard way. Will the cheaters ruin some games before they get caught? Yes, they will. But that's better than ruining ALL games in the mistaken belief that doing so eliminated the cheaters.

[@dreadedevil4055]

I don't know why the algorithm started sending me your way, and I also don't know why I keep watching these videos. I don't even play Risk, but I just keep watching these vids.

[@njstuckey]

Interesting conversation at the end. As for Pete accepting "pity wins" due to popularity, how is that any different from certain NBA players getting special treatment from refs because they know how to talk to them? Or because they're such big stars that the refs don't dare give them six fouls in an important game? (Which forces them to the bench) Otherwise the NBA is a balanced game, right? Yes all that is "unfair" but so is being born taller or with better muscles for jumping. Basketball's a competition, not a collaboration, so you take whatever advantage you can get. Well, that's what Pete is doing. He's turning a meta-game into a meta-meta-game, to get a small advantage. And isn't that the entire point of a game like Risk? If it wasn't, it would be a math game and I can play Sudoku to scratch that itch. Pete brings viewers precisely because he is playing the psych game, not in spite of it.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

You seem to get it better than most.

[@bk41190]

Pete is a phenomenal player… he doesn’t need, nor should he want, something from outside the game of risk to influence the game of risk. It would be equivalent to paying people $ outside the game for effects in the game… Pete’s position within the risk community should not effect risk gameplay at all.

Really enjoyed reading the conversation between you and Xeroxee in the live chat after you were eliminated. Loved the passive-agressiveness. Risk is a strategy game. Manipulating people is a strategy. And a skill. Don't see why people make a problem out of it. Well, besides of course jealousy...

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Haha I think so many people underestimate the amount of interpersonal psychological skill possible in this game.

[@RealDutchJustice]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Absolutely. I've never played risk and I've only watched your videos for two days now. But in the first video I saw, the first round of the first world championship of this year, you communicated with the white player that they should move their troops so you could pass through them. You did so with very little choice in phrases and by pointing your troops at them. Afterward, I could clearly see what kind of relationship you guys had, but also what kind of relationship you wanted him to think you had so that you had an advantage. If that isn't skill, I don't know what is.

[@hampusminiolsson9668]

[@mattyc7003]

I agree, Pete as a figurehead of the community has an inherent responsibility to set an example for the rest of the community to keep the game skill based. It’s a little hypocritical to not like caps because “it’s not about skill it’s about endurance” and then leverage his position instead of his skill to win games? He has done so much for the community so I don’t really get this take

[@dbunn99]

Half of risk is getting people to like you and hate others that’s all he is doing a perfectly valid risk strategy. These people are free to make there own decisions whether that benefits Pete or not doesn’t matter. He is trying to win! People who are saying Pete is in the wrong are insane!

Informal survey. Zombies good. Fog of war good. Progressive cards good.

[@jokin8247]

I think the discussion towards the end about how some of the games turned out has no perfect answer, however the same problems pop up in any social game. It's impossible to completely separate what is known about a player or that person's influence from the game itself, that creates targets on a player that is known to be more skillful, or just blatantly more popular, at the same time generating advantages if they use their position outside the game to effect it. On the whole, if used correctly, these advantages and disadvantages tend to in my mind even out in the end but that does require an individual to maximize advantages to push the edge. That discussion can really only get you so far though because in the end everyone wants to win or at least go as far as they can. I don't agree at all that it's wrong to press your advantages and covering or minimizing disadvantages, if you don't do that you're not playing the game whether those are directly from the game or not. There becomes a meta within the meta of pressing advantages without pressing too far that people target you more and that's really the hardest part of playing a social game repeatedly with or infront of people you are going to play with in the future. It's like exposing your strategies to people you are going to compete against, you want to use them to win the game you're currently in, but don't want to show everything so you can win the next. Pete does walk this line really well in my opinion because (1) he owns this balance and is upfront about it (2) he knows what is too far and (3) he is honest and open about when others "assist" him more than it makes good game sense for them to do so. Most of what makes it right or wrong in my opinion comes down to the way you take it and being upfront and honest is the best way to play it in game and the game within the game.

[@jokin8247]

Pete just gets a slightly discerned set of negotiating tools than standard, ones that he helped set up beforehand

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I love this take. I've been trying to bring this aspect of the game to the forefront. Since the ranking system has remained broken in favour of 1v1s many 'top' risk players see analytic calculation as the highest order skill in the game. But as you mentioned Risk is actually a social game and the psychological component is the one that interests me the most. And also the one I consider having the most strategic depth.

[@matthewspencer3578]

Have you considered playing Diplomacy? If not I HIGHLY suggest it. You would be GOOD

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I have not. It looks very interesting.

[@matthewspencer3578]

Why I also suggest this is because it is an EXTREMELY fun game that needs more attention. Your fanbase would love it. Though Risk is awesome as well, Diplomacy is I believe much more fun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/omaWoH9mpdmnbc0 If you have the time I highly also suggest this video. I suggest all of it gives VERY good strategy but at least the first 30 minutes to more understand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV6nk4tuebt4kNk It is as simple as Risk only it has shall we say known set openings and strategies but it is nothing in the complex tactical realm as Chess.

I can't make the twitch streams, so going to ask here, how can there be a tournament when the people in the tournament negotiate the positions they get? Doesn't that get rid of the skill of the game? Long games on the table top was always the norm just as was alliances. Though I never seen a game where the players negotiate what order they go out for better points. I don't really understand that. To me that gets rid of the skills of this game.

​ @The Kill Pete Strategy I guess you are right, but different skills. Vc-games reminds me of the real "game" we all play, which we dream about and is on 24/7. I know you are against players who uses multiple accounts and in my eyes this is kind of the same. Lets say you and two bodies decides to destroy 3 other players - then its easy to win and you get to choice who is placed 1, 2 and 3. So why even play? I bet you could have decidet that without even playing the game. Gaming skill in Risk is, in my eyes, when nobody knows you, you play with limited info about your opponents and wins alot.

[@Speedy_Cockroach]

Hi Pete, been watching your videos religiously for months on end now and I'm hooked on Risk because of you. I know how much you like open and honest conversations so this isn't meant to be a criticism (as much as it's about to sound like it is XD). However, do you think sometimes your behaviour can be a little arrogant and sore loser(ish)? I've seen you report people for collaborating and yet you seem very happy to do the same when it benefits you. Also using your popularity to get wins in some games and to manipulate your opponents into giving you the edge doesn't seem very sportsman like to me. I think self-reflection is the best quality someone can have and just wondering if you think about this or not? This is coming from someone who is very self critical.

[@davidberrett5939]

One thing to keep in mind in regards to him reporting people for collaborating is those games are supposed to be a random matching of players that don't have any association with each other, and the report is to investigate if those reported have a pattern of working together in games they play together. The instances where pete is actively negotiating with other players and trying to influence them to help him are in tournament settings where all players have the understanding that voice chat is allowed and part of the game.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

The default to (over) report in global dom games is a good thing because we will help SMG manage the intractable problem of cheating on their platform. Collaborating in play with friends mode is an integral part of the game of Risk. Perhaps that explains some of the discrepancy you're noticing. I fight a battle with ego every day. I find it interesting how few people realized during my episode on arrogance that I was speaking about myself. To your final point about the influence of popularity in an FFA game. Being 'good' and 'known to be good' is a disadvantage. Manipulating my opponents into giving a player an edge is the highest skill in the game of Risk.

[@jkid1134]

Likeability as a skill is a bit rose-tinted. Even of the few people I have swayed over the course of my life, it has always been temporary. It feels more like it's based on a hidden charisma stat than any sort of measure of performance. I see worse attempts work and better attempts fail frequently.

[@frozenbuckeye6700]

I don't like the matches where you guys are all in discord. It's too much of social engineering and not so much strategy. The person with Charisma and ability to communicate will often get a more advantageous position because of communication skills which is important in warfare but this is a strategy game not Among us. At least in alliance mode your limited on what you can say so things can be mis interrupted or not understood. But the game is significantly better to watch as a viewer when the games aren't discord games. Now Discord games where fog of war is on and alliances is off would be great because then it becomes an actual tactic how much information you give away and too who. But the first hour of this game is hard to watch because of the fact you are in discord and we all know what is going to happen. I'm speaking to pure entertainment value of your content. Fog of war, no alliance discord games are much more enjoyable to watch. Of course this is just my opinion and I might differ from the rest of people which I often do lol. Thanks for the videos. Edit: At 1:06 you actually talk about what I'm saying. This was hard to watch. All the games where everyone is in discord are hard to watch for me though.

The social engineering is the higher strategic skillset. Most people do not understand this about Risk.

[@frozenbuckeye6700]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Yes but your content is better when you are describing your thoughts and what you think the others might be doing. Even alliance mode is okay since your guessing what they are thinking as opposed to them just outright saying KILL BLACK. Discord turns the content into 2 people winning 1 person being quite and hoping everyone forgot they were there then 3 people haggling to get into the 2/3 person winning pact that was completely determined by random placement from auto or who got to place first and the following discussion about where to place. That said if you had fog of war on then discord becomes more interesting because we don't know if they are lying or not. Which is what Among us is with social engineering and people lying. Risk with discord and no fog of war is just a slog to watch. We often know the outcome after the first 5 minutes of gameplay. But I'm just a random dude lol. Just my opinion.

[@Daeyel]

Found this channel and have bingewatched all week while sick. Seems to me you really blew your chances of winning this game back at the 19 or 20 minute mark. You had stabilized and locked down your farm, and controlled the hallway leading to the next one on the right. Instead of aggressively seeking to secure that farm, you were content to let the Zombies have it, and they eventually infested you anyway. It would have cost you a lot of troops early on, and taken a number of turns, but securing that farm would have more than made up for it in the long run. You would have quickly gained the lead in troops and been able to dictate the course of the game better. Clearly no one was interested in coming after you. Any reasons why you did not go after it? Secondly, at the 23:30 mark, you abandoned the crossroads, and let Black and Orange start receiving cards. Any reason why? I'd have pointed to the zombies and told them to earn their own card. It's not like they are particularly hard to kill, and having those 2 fighting the zombies advances your game plan as well. Orange expended way too many troops fighting zombies for a card, which was giving Black a free card as well. Tyler seems to have played that poorly, though I realize he was in a tight spot. This was a very poor game all around, IMO. What is your recap? Love watching your vids, and I've learned a lot.
