Pete is the ultimate bad neighbor because if you don't kill pete, he will kill you eventually. Lol. Nice game!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

[@Sheeshus9]

Hey Pete, just wanted to let you know that you have gotten me into Risk and I'm now working my way up to intermediate after watching you for a couple weeks. Love the content keep it up man. Much love @@TheKillPeteStrategy

[@ratedwrong]

People who can't play good neighbor are so frustrating cause it's usually the losing strat in so many situations. Happened to me just yesterday in a game where we both locked down Africa-SA early, but he kept breaking me, so I had to focus on him while the eventual winner just sat on Australia building a massive army.

[@aaronjosephs2560]

Any time the australia player wins, you know someone else must have played poorly 😂

[@davidlessenberry8736]

@@aaronjosephs2560 In the boardgame, Australia is more solid. You typically play with 3-4 players, not 6. You place manually, not randomly. As such, SA and Aus are significantly better. When you play with the boardgame with the typical rules for most of the game's history, it's always classic map, progressive cards, true random dice, and manual placement. Unlike the computer version, everyone is interested in Asia and Australia, because the NA player might actually hold Asia for a turn or two with 3-4 players. I have seen some major stalemates when playing the boardgame, but they were nothing like the BS we routinely see online. The longest Risk game I have ever played over the board was @ 4 hours. You have to consider we were much slower, since we actually rolled the dice and subtracted the troops by hand. People actually concede in a FtF Risk game, also. There's no placement or ranking, so who cares? My point is that some people might actually overemphasize Australia online, because it is much more important in the physical boardgame. Probably not true, but hey....

[@Curundil]

He said "poor green" and "green is okay" after green rolled an 8 v 6 lmao, he must have not seen that. Green got what was coming to him

[@connorallgood0922]

Hey pete, I just want to add my opinion on blue adding troops to your border at 13:10, keep in mind this is before seeing what he does on this turn so IDK if he breaks or not, but my mind goes to the fact that he might fear other people hitting through your 2 stack then the 1s to break his bonus, such as the orange 17 stack.

[@davidlessenberry8736]

Yeah, when your neighbor plays the "threat guard" tactic, it puts you in an awkward position. The "threat guard" stack makes it easier for them to kill YOU later, yet there is no mutual defense on some of the "hot spots." I may be a stupid noob and bad player, but I don't like leaving Greenland wide open, just to make the "stack in the Ukraine player" happy, just for example. I have played this game for over 40 years (FtF), and there is no way in @#$% that I have played as many games as Pete, Kylted, or Digitallic. However, my point is that there are different VALID approaches and tactics of how to play this game. All of the early versions of the boardgame used progressive cards, just for example.

Not really astounding. They just played poorly and didn't finish him when it was easy to do so.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Hahaha I drank my luck juice this day!

[@davidlessenberry8736]

As someone who has played this game for most of my life FtF over a board, the online timer changes player behavior. You don't tend to break people just because you can, or even over attack, when you know you are sitting down for a three-hour (or more) boardgame. You screw up early, and you are sitting around the table kibbitzing, while watching everyone else have a good time. (Granted, this was also before people would just sit and screw around on their cellphones for hours.) In a FtF game, people tend to play much slower, more methodically, and more predictably. OTOH, they also get better much faster, because of the time investment.

[@j.6378]

almost the same exact start as last fixed friday, thought i was rewatching it

[@alehanedilko2147]

Have you tried to stack small amount troops in British Isles or Scandinavia? It is less threatening to your opponent but also gives you some base to retaliate Iceland break.

Pete, once you and purple started hitting each other you had no business winning that game. But, green missed his opportunity to capitalize and destroyed himself. Great comeback.

[@jamesstevenson3116]

Something tells me King Bob has a ways to go before he wears the crown 😂

[@blackbird351]

My interpretation of purple's mindset while he was stacking troops on Greenland is that he simply wants an idle 3-point guard. He's not necessarily planning to break you. What I don't understand about Pete's play in this video is, why match his stack 8v8? If he decides to break you, he first gets to bolster his side of that cold war by a whole turn's worth of troops (minimum 8 while he's holding NA). That means you're really just sacrificing 8 troops to his 16 minimum. The idea I've seen work more consistently is, in this particular case of EU vs an NA player who splits their guard across 2 or 3 access points, I have a single big stack in Ukraine. That way, should Greenland hit Iceland, I have a big punching stack to run around the board with and hit him through Alaska, which will always succeed because he's splitting his forces 2 or 3 ways. This minimises the attacker's advantage for the opponent and maximises it for yourself, assuming he doesn't run his Greenland stack through Europe and slams it into Ukraine (which noobs who go bad neighbour like that _never_ do). For nuance's sake, perhaps you could leave something like a 3 or a 4 there, just to disincentivise him from mindlessly hitting Iceland for a cheap card.

[@blackbird351]

I would also say that the kill on Red, while potentially the correct mechanical play given the good-neighbour meta game state, was incorrect given Purple's clear lack of game sense. The read on Purple should've _always_ been that he'd break everything you have once he saw you had 3 continents. There are dozens of reasons for a noob to not just stop at breaking one bonus, and practically none to the contrary.

[@davisdecker1968]

Без ошибок соперниеов выйграть невозможно, но можно создать условия чтобы соперники ошибались.

Так получилось что запаса прочности было больше у фиолетового игрока, а вот зеленый игрок сделал 1 критическую ошибку и этого оказалось достаточно для поражения.

[@TT-Bricks]

Just a quick question as a lurker and player of risk online. Does the people bevind the game do something with our complains about collaborations? In 3 days/games I got 2 clear cases and one possible? How can I avoid this?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

The way I avoid being collabed on is hosting my own lobbies and kicking one of two players who enter with similar flags or at the exact same time. I also play with natural bot. Hope that helps somewhat. The game should protect us better...

[@countpythagoras]

One thing i am not sure i understand is why you match on boarders. What do i mean? If the opponent leaves a trust guard you do the same and "if he breaks he breaks. I don't lise a guard stack" Isn't the same principle even if he has troops?Given that you always expect the others to break before you attack doesn't it make more sense to have the troops you would lose on a guard stack go to the puncher? Especially if a turn or two pass and you see he has no intention of stopping the cold war?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

You're saying guard one territory interior to threaten retaliation without losing the stack to a break?

[@countpythagoras]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Depends on the lines and how late on the game you are (amount of troops wise). For example here purple wasn't guarding from Asia all that well a big puncher in Europe could end him. Against a more well protected line, yeah, interior guard to retaliate. To me it's less wasteful and adds the psychological component of opening (for some reason even if the troops are equal opening a stack is more scary than hitting it). It's just a thought I had and I am interested in hearing your process on why you prefer to match

[@joebowl8315]

You're trying to use logic vs a noob. Let's see how well that plays out for you. Spoiler, even Pete was reminded why that's silly this game with purple. You're better off doing what Pete did and stacking, or just breaking them and full suicide for 2nd.

[@countpythagoras]

@@joebowl8315 he lost a 20 stack mate. My point is that had that not be lost he wouldn't have to worry about third. He would be able to contest first and second and kill purple. Or at least I think. That's why I am interested in his explanation. Because especially when you play against noobs you want stacks as protected as possible

Glad you won, Pete, and I totally agree with you that Purple was not a great player. That said, in some videos you seem to focus more on *teaching* these noobs proper behaviour than taking an optimum move (which is usually to punish betrayal or stupidity). Also, after Purple breaks you every which way around 25:50 and instead of fortifying to Central America you stay in Ukraine losing your ability to smack him back after the inevitable counter play. I *know* you're better than these players, but sometimes your patient nature puts you in situations like in this game. I guess it only bothers me when the person has already revealed his true colours. At that point, it's "kill or be killed", isn't it?

[@glennriter5965]

You're completely misunderstanding the thought process behind putting a troop or two on a choke point per turn. When it's a minority of the draft but steady, and it's on choke points, it's creating a defensive choke. If someone breaks you (which with your playstyle is typically and deliberately easy) they don't have to worry as much about also being broken, for instance. And yes you're right that they really may turn it into an attack at some point; but that's always a risk, in risk. And as you so kindly demonstrated to red very soon after providing an incomplete description of why a person would regularly place an army or two on each of their borders - not deliberately placing troops on the borders in advance of an attack won't stop an attack. You wiped out the ally you could finish first - The one that made it easy for you. The one who didn't defend against you. I really think that the reason purple bothered you so much is because purple didn't make it easy to kill him. Green came in clutch to ensure you took the W; but that's because Green was a truly terrible player.

[@RaNd0mGaMeRzZ]

Should never attack red in that situation imo, seemed to actually want to work with you. You went bad neighbour to red, so purple did the same to you. Im no risk champion but purple had no reason to trust you after that.
