Halfway through the vid and I feel like the subtitle for this episode should be “oops all Cavalry”

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

For real!

[@bloobryboi]

This is just like watching siblings fight over their parents inheritance

[@shawn1851]

26:49 orange attacked to get a card as u were already broken. You card locked ur best ally and wouldnt let him out.

[@shawn1851]

You could have let him out to asia

[@UncleTravelingMatty]

ggs, I see you had a good second ffa game nicely done.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Killing it Matty. Back atcha. I wanna see you go far this season!

[@joshjohnson3352]

That was a good one alot of interesting plays.

[@Adiodevil]

Hi Pete, commenting halfway through vid instead of after cause it's too painful to keep watching the pink player take their entire turn to do absolutely nothing from the moment they took Africa. It's these kinds of players that made me switch to a mostly prog game instead of fixed, which I started with and got to grandmaster with playing only settings like your Bird Blintz account but fell back to master a few times cause of random suicides and myself getting killed for trying to progress the game with expanding or taking slightly risky kills or even some manual rolls into the weakest player only to have all players turtle and have the weakest player instantly suicide into me after like 40min+ games. Man, I gotta thank you for turning me towards prog since I came across your channel a few years back through a 'Risk 4Ever' vid. Enjoying the games much more now cause at worst u get some random suicide and it only costs u 30 mins tops. No more infinite turtles or over emotional game surrendering suicides. Great to see the channel has grown so fast, especially after hitting 1K. Will be 10K before the end of the year I think.

[@boldstarfish3646]

Also found him through Risk 4 Ever but I really got into him after finding all his content on #risk.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

The growth of my work has been incredible. We're coming up on one million views! I'm so glad you're enjoying the show Leon. As long as you guys keep wanting to watch I'll keep making em

[@davidtroyer5743]

This is crazy, predicted 10k by end of year and jumped to over 20k in 2 months. We just love the content and Pete is a great host!

[@ruidelgado888]

I am going to comment halfway through your paragraph 😂

[@alastair4839]

watching my way through the back catalog here! - this was an interesting game. Looked like KP was really trying to be a good neighbour to everyone - and pivoted to avoid conflict when pressed - but still got hit at odd times. IMHO it looked like the other players were all engaging in "board police" activities trying to stop anyone getting too strong.

[@christopherjohnson1873]

I feel smart because around 22 minutes, I was thinking attack into Siberia for your card so as to not open up the 42. Then red immediately says he doesn't want an alliance lol

[@shipit2008]

Hey Pete I have a odd question but I was wondering for a win to count if there are 6 players does getting second count in your own record or only first places thnx in advance love the content!

[@malloriesand7984]

I THINK that as long as you finish in the top half, you do ok with your points. Don't quote me though but I think in 6 player, first second or third is ok.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It depends on what your rank points are vs your opponents. When you're starting out coming in third is enough to gain rank on balance. Once you're in the top 500 or so the only way to continue to rank up is by winning games.

[@shipit2008]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy great Pete thank you for the answer! Keep up the great work!

[@lhffan]

When on pc is it possibly to freeze the camera så it does not zoom in when u attack etc

Thanks Fil. I think I'm in the groove now.

I couldn't like KZbin videos because I subscribed to KZbin music and it would play me videos I've liked through my headphones while I was working out. That being said, I've lost every game of Risk I've played and while these videos may or may not help me get better, I thoroughly enjoy them. Love a half shirted Pete!

@430 moreover @519 in the background the statement get on your knees is followed by a scream ?

[@jacobriis7859]

38:06 Wouldn't it be smarter to wait to get the cards from orange before you turn in your 3 horses. It was very likely that you would get some cards when killing orange that you could use to make a 10 stack.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It would have. I definitely didn't think of that. Good call Jacob

[@24magiccarrot]

How would you compare the average player with the expert-level bot?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

The expert bot will do an ok job at classic fixed. Nothing else though.

[@24magiccarrot]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Suppose it kinda makes sense for the developers to focus the bot's algorithm to work most effectively on the most popular version of the game.

I assure you that there's a good chance I've considered the only fans thing.

[@ioniann7741]

Isn’t SA a guaranteed 5th or 6th place? It wasn’t any different in this gamer but Id be very interested in knowing if there’s any solid strategy to hit anything better than 5th when playing SA. The only possible way I see is to make a full commit into NA like Orange did but even if they were able to take out NA they would be very weak and juicy looking for a EU player (who would get a +10 troop bonus if they took them out) or a 6th no continent player that was just waiting for a situation like this.

[@chaspourau1098]

Oh my god what happened!.?

Pete looks at least 5 years older on the thumb nail. Change my mind xD

[@barnabaskovacs502]

You have so many ads on the video Pete, it makes it harder to enjoy :((

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

That's upsetting. Maybe there's a way you can complain to KZbin to get them to play less ads?

[@michaelsherwin4449]

I predicted how the game would end. I knew that red and white would gang up on either you (blue) or yellow and eliminate one of you. They thought that having most of the board they then could handle you. They probably had no idea how fast you are. They were collaborating or it was just one person. This same exact strategy I have encountered a half dozen times and I lose because I'm not fast enough. And I have reported this to you already if you are still reading my post. Did you notice red never took a continent and never attacked white? Maybe you don't see the cheaters because you are fast enough and good enough to beat them?

[@michaelsherwin4449]

And P.S. Your win is not legit because the other none cheaters were affected by the cheaters. That should bother you?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

This is an interesting take. I did not make that connection until you said it. There is a lot of confirmation bias going on in the conversation around collaboration in the game. I think a lot of people see things that aren't there. This case, you might be right. Red never hit white all game... That is significant. The question I ask is what kind of person would need two accounts to cheat like this at risk? The obvious answer is the same kind of person who would play this badly and still lose. The last thing I'll comment on is the legitimacy of any win given cheating. You are free to decide how legitimate or illegitimate my play is. I show my work here. I think that until SMG fixes the ranking system to more accurately model skill in the FFA game of risk the vast majority of their customers remain cynical and disenfranchised. Thank you for your perspective Michael. If I had caught it in the moment I would be able to file a report.

Hello, i have a question: i try to look at my opponents profiles but i just cannot click on their profile. is there smth i am missing? why can Pete see everyones profile and i cant? btw i use the exact same settings in my games as Pete...

We can't see profiles in ranked anymore. Only unranked or Play with friends.
