GFF Risk 11: Atomic Safari
Game over: I win!
Same rules as game 10. By my count, there are 21 unclaimed countries, so each player may annex 1 additional country on their first turn. That will leave 10 unclaimed countries in Round 2, which can be acquired by attacking them as if they belonged to another player. Please take your turn within 24 hours, or let us know that you'll be delayed. If you take longer than 24 hours without telling anyone of your whereabouts, then the next person may take their turn. Once the next person takes their turn, you forfeit your turn. The rules for any newcomers:
Arms Dealer List:
I can only update the map when I’m at home, so your best tool for keeping track of who owns what is by using the linked spreadsheet. I’ll try to update that after each turn, unless it’s the middle of the night. Chart of who owns what, gil, and items Last updated at the end of the game http://nuttyturnip.googlepages.com/Risk-11.jpg |
Ya know, all day I was thinking, "I hope I don't have the first turn today. Naaaaah, it's never happened before," and sure enough. My bad, as I've been running around all day and just now got back home.
And.. Didn't I say brown? Initially I was thinking that I'd choose yellow, but upon noticing my native color wasn't taken, I decided to go with that instead. Annexing Zambia, attacking the Republic of Congo, Botswana, and South Africa. (Totally going after Republic of Congo, again) |
Quote:
|
Annexing Niger.
Attacking Algeria. Again. Again. Attacking Morocco. |
Annexing Gambia
Attacking Seirra Leone (fail) Attacking Seirra Leone again (success) Attacking Liberia (success) Tanks à la Côte d'Ivoire (Sorry Helloween...) |
First Turn
Alrighty then, let us see how i do after this long hiatus.
Annexing Somalia Attacking Ethiopia, Ah, perhaps I should read the rules more often. I assume that would be a penalty and a loss of my attack, so I'd be content if that was your decision since I was being scatterbrained. |
Araes: Why did you use Tanks on the Ivory Coast when you still had one attack left? Too late now.
Yeldarb: You annexed Somalia, which borders Djibouti, so your attack on that country was legal. Tritoch gets 1 gil for defending it. |
Honestly now, I helped you out with your question and you went and attacked both of my remaining countries? You shall feel the unbridled fury of a Djiboutian scorned, Yeldarb.
Also, petitioning to invalidate Plarom's attack on the basis that he didn't conquer the Democratic Republic of the Congo. |
I have no idea why I did that... I guess I thought we only got three for some reason. Guess its just a first round of being scatterbrained.
|
It's good to see that this game's consistent. I remember now why i quit playing this game. I believe this is the third game where i've been very thoroughly routed in the first round. Oh well. I guess i'll keep struggling until everyone just happens to kill me again,
|
Quote:
|
Annexing Kenya, attacking Somalia, Ethiopia (twice), and Uganda.
|
The Brown Menace must be stopped. I urge all those who are able to take up arms against Plarom and his campaign of ethnic cleansing!
Annexing Lesotho. Attacking South Africa, Botswana x2, and Mozambique. You may have won this round, but enemies are everywhere. |
Annexing Mauritania, and attacking Morocco.
Next is Algeria. Finally, Tunisia. |
Annexing Mali
Attacking Guinea Attacking Ivory Coast Attacking Mauritania Attacking Guinea Again! And regarding my little bitch fest before, that's all it was. I was feeling a little annoyed in general that day. |
Alright, before I can actually take my turn I'm trading Djibouti to Frank in exchange for Uganda. I'll make my moves once he posts here to confirm it.
EDIT: Okay, Nutty said it was fine to just forward him the PM agreement in order to move things forward. First up I'm attacking the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Next I'll attack Zambia. Now for some further revenge in Sudan. Once more against Sudan. And finally, I'll annex Rwanda. |
Bumping to confirm the time of Tritoch's turn, and confirming the PM.
|
Annexing Benin
Attack Central African Republic Attack Libya Again with Libya And then Niger USE MY ENERGY BOOST Attack Egypt Attack Egypt again. AND THEN I'LL ROLL SOME TANKS INTO TUNISIA |
Just to clarify the situation re: Yeldarb since this hasn't come up before:
Quote:
|
Hawkeye's 24 hours was up 2 hours ago, so Plarom can go whenever.
Note that if Plarom goes first, everyone has an additional 5 gil, since it's the start of a new round. |
We've now entered Day 3 with no action, which means it's now Krelian's turn. Or you know, whatever.
|
I remember Plarom saying something about visiting a friend at a raceway (though not the Emo Speedway) today, so he's probably still off on his adventure. Of course, he was also incredibly drunk while discussing that last night, so who knows. The important thing is that this makes him far easier to destroy than I'd anticipated.
|
Oh wow, still my turn. Sorry everyone, the 2 to 3 business days that it was supposed to take to fix my lappy are approaching two weeks. It's a good thing I'm not paying for it.
Annexing Equitorial Guinea. Attacking Chad Attacking Central African Republic Attacking Cameroon Attacking Nigeria My best first turn yet. |
I lost a day of my life. I don't have an excuse, but I'm sorry nonetheless!
Are we allowed annex countries past the first turn? (If so, Tanzania) Attacks on, South Africa, Namibia, and Zambia. Aaaand lets go with South Africa again. |
Yeesh, I'm boned. :(
Attacking Sudan. Attacking Egypt. Attacking Libya. Attacking Ethiopia. Using energy boost. Attacking Ethiopia. And again. |
Quote:
Quote:
I've updated the chart with everyone's turn, and added the 5 gil bonus for the start of the round. |
Attacking Guinea (4 times...all fail. Well, I'm boned as well)
Energy Boost Attacking Guinea (...another fail, finnnnnnally success ... yay) What the hell. I buy a Tank. Tanks à la Côte d'Ivoire That kind of sucked. |
Propped for 5 fails in a row.
To clarify for Yeldarb, since he doesn't have any territory, he may choose anywhere to begin his attack. Once he conquers a territory, his attack must continue from that territory; he can't just attack willy-nilly all over the board. |
Quote:
As for the other two, that was just me not reading the rules on account of already having held up the game for multiple days |
OK, let's see if I can come back from this.
First Attack on Morocco. Morocco again. Well then, I'll attack Mali. Good lord. Fine, I'll annex Burkina Faso and send tanks on Mali. And just out of spite, I'll use my Energy Boost as well. I'll attack Niger. Benin. |
You can roll a die for Burkina Faso, since it doesn't really have an effect on what you did afterwards. You have one attack remaining anyway, so you can attack anything surrounding Mali/Niger/Benin if you want.
EDIT: Yeldarb has knocked out Helloween, and picked up a tidy sum of gil. I think I know who Rockgamer will be targeting... |
See, this is what i was doomsaying about previously,
|
I smell blood in the water, and I can see there are fortunes to be made!
I'll start by attacking Uganda. Uganda again. Rwanda next. And now the killing blow, the Democratric Republic of Congo! Oh, bugger. Looks like I'll have to use my Energy Boost. And attack the DRoC again. And again? Bloody hell. DRoC a third time~ Fuck it then. I'll roll in my Tanks to the DRoC to take over the country, ending Tritoch's miserble life and claiming all he owns for myself. |
Well then, note to self: never make an alliance with Frank again. He hates democracy.
|
Alright, fuck backroom handshakes, I'm just gonna beg.
Rockgamer, please don't utterly destroy me. I'll invite you to my birthday party. |
I don't know what you're talking about, Tritoch. We both know that you usurped power from the duly elected goverment in the Congo. My freedom-fighter's libertated an oppressed people!
|
It took you three direct assaults and finally a tank battalion before the people finally submitted to your backstabbing, tyrannical rule. I'm not sure you could've managed a more hostile takeover without dropping nukes.
|
Frank has to have set a record for the fastest backstab.
I'll begin by trying to liberate Democratic Rep. of the Congo, but they're still heavily fortified. Next, I'll attack South Africa and Botswana x2. Might as well use an Energy Boost. No luck with Zimbabwe or Swaziland. Fine, Tanks into Zimbabwe. |
First attack on Mali.
Next up is Niger. Energy Boost. Ugh, finally. Now, tanks into Benin. And with Yeldarb's spoils in tow, I'll roll his tanks into Tunisia. Now, I'll use Yeldarb's energy boost for more fun. Attacking Libya. Fuck it, I'll buy four tanks and roll them into Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia. With Krel's spoils in tow, I'll purchase a Death Ray and attack Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique. Using Plarom's energy boost, I'll now attack Djibouti Now I'll take Plarom's tanks into Somalia. I have enough for two more tanks, so I'll take over Seychelles and Mauritus. That gives me just enough to purchase another set of tanks, which I'll use on Madagascar. That's all I can do for now. |
Team Devin: we massacre everything.
|
This is like some bizzarro Mega Man 4. We took out the black Dr. Cossack (Plarom) and his evil minions, only to have the true villain reveal himself. You know what we have to do. We must vanquish the black Dr. Wily.
|
Forgive me my sinful past, brothers! We must band together to defeat this new, dark menace that is threatening the whole of our beloved Africa! I propose a full cease fire amongst our nations until the evil Dr. Wily has been disposed of.
|
Dark menace? Africa is the dark continent, so I'm just trying to give it back to its rightful owners. My ancestors are from here damnit, so it's only right that I do this.
And why should anyone forgive you? You already proved yourself untrustworthy, and just because you're paying for it now is no reason to deceive everyone else into thinking you give a damn about them. Your downfall is imminent (you're pretty vulnerable against anyone now, which is why you don't want anyone else attacking you), so you're just clawing for survival. |
Frank may be a backstabber, but unfortunately, he's also right. If we end up bickering amongst ourselves, then we'll only weaken each other for Rockgamer to pick us off. The only chance we have to win is to cut Rockgamer down to size. Once that's done, we can go back to fighting each other.
|
Wow, you really don't get that I weakened Frank on purpose rather than trying to pick off another player (which I certainly could have done considering everyone else had way less territory than Frank did when I first started attacking him)? Look, he only has four territories, making him pretty easy to pick off. If you do so, you net a whopping 31 gil (not to mention five less gil in my pocket) along with a tank and an energy boost, which will probably help you more in the long run than Frank's allegiance will.
|
The undead believe that Rock has a point. It also would've been much more amusing if he had killed off a few more people instead of weakening Frank, though this slaughter was pretty neat.
|
Let's say Hawkeye does pick off Frank; that gives him 10 countries to your 21 countries. Sure, he gets gil and items, but if he attacks you instead, then he still has 10 countries, but you'd only have 17, a more manageable number. If we don't start chipping away at Rockgamer now, he's only going to get stronger.
|
Leave that to Araes, since he currently only has Rock to worry about. Otherwise Frank is just going to make sure it's his turn next once Rock is defeated, and snatch victory away.
|
Nutty, you seemed to have totally ignored the whole gil and items thing in your equation with Hawkeye. 10 countries, well over 30 gil, a tank, and an energy boost means that once he picks off Frank, he can still do some sizable damage to me as well.
|
Of course you want me gone, I pose the largest threat to you, and if Hawkeye focuses on me first then you'll receive the lamb's share of damage from his attacks. It is laughable that you would expect your opponents to be so blinded by my moral ambiguity as to hand you Africa on a silver platter.
Tritoch may be blinded by his lust for vengeance, but you would appear to think awfully poorly of Hawkeye if you truly expect him to fall for your ameteurish attempts at rougish diplomacy. |
The point may be moot, as Hawkeye's 24 hours are up. Araes may now attack, and he'll have to attack Rockgamer at least once.
|
Because apparently there is no such thing as failed attacks anymore.
And Frank seems to find himself more powerful than anyone else actually thinks he is if that's the thought process he's using. Because it has nothing to do about getting revenge for my fallen cave buddy, you dirty traitor. |
Traitor he says! He who crushed the likes of Plarom, knkwzrd, Krelen, and Yeldarb! A traitor to you may very well be a Hero to the likes of Africa, tyrant. Spit your poisoned words at me, your barbaric acts of violence against Africa's brother's will be your undoing.
|
Quote:
Attacking Burkina Faso (and failing) And how well that would have gone. I can only laugh at 1/10 success rates. Obviously a non-entity in this game. Might as well just hand my turn GP to the nearby Warlord. |
Well. Time to put my money where my mouth is.
Charge into Sudan! And follow through directly into Egypt. Ah, Egypt again! Eritrea is the next target. Eritrea again. I suppose I used my energy boost, by the way. Lost count. That leave me one more attack. Guess where? Eritrea. Tanks will roll into Libya. And newly puchased Tanks will roll into Djibouti and Somalia[/b] whilst I also purchase, and use, another Energy Boost. With it I shall attack Tunisia, twice. A poor showing by the faithful in Green, to be sure, but nonetheless, we have done our part in vanquishing the dark menace. It's up to you now, nutty. |
Quote:
Attacking Mozambique x2, Madagascar, and Mauritius. Time to roll out my special Aquatic Tanks and conquer Mauritius and Seychelles. Throw off your shackles, Africans, and welcome your liberators! http://nuttyturnip.googlepages.com/blackwily.jpg Your move, Black Dr. Wily with a skin condition. |
Starting off with Chad.
Hittin' up the CAR next. Congo is next on my radar. Using my energy boost. Tanks on Sao Tome & Prinsipe. And I guess I'll take a chance on an energy boost and attack Gabon. And let's see how the fight for Equatorial Guinea comes out. Tanks into the DRC. Using the energy boost to attack Rwanda. Eh, I'll buy two tanks and take over Libya and Sudan. |
Ha, and that proves it. Mumbo jumbo bullshit about caring about perceived treachery goes out the window when he sees a chance to put yet another soul to the fire.
|
Avenging me doesn't mean throwing away all sense of strategy in the name of bloodlust. Even the ruler of Africa needs to get money for his bling somehow.
|
Seriously, why leave another person around who's a potential threat when I can just get rid of him and gain items and gil in the process? I wouldn't have been able to off you either way, so I might as well go about attacking you in the most beneficial way possible.
And this especially laughable coming from you Frank, since you were willing to do the same thing to your own ally. |
Not that Araes would have done anything, but his 24 hours are up. Frank can go now.
Is everyone ok with ending this game in 3 rounds (this one, plus 2 more)? |
Been a rough while, however, I'll take my turn if that's fine, as Frank hasn't gone yet.
Holy crap, after only 3 attacks, I succeeded in winning a battle. I proceed to kill every native inhabitant of Burkina Faso and salt the earth with their teeth. Two in a row? My word. Ghana as well. Take that neutral countries. |
My god, Burkina Faso's impenetrable defenses have fallen at last!
|
Ethiopia first. Again.
Sudan. Libya next. Purchase and use an Energy Boost. Attack Chad. Follow through into Niger. Once more, the evil Doctor's aspirations for Warlord status have been foiled by the brave men donning green, this has truly been a glorious offensive against evil. |
Excellent indeed. And since I'm a Warlord, I'll take 3 gil from Frank (for a good cause) and 5 gil from Rockgamer.
The peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo welcome their true leader, along with the citizens of the Central African Republic and Zambia. I too shall purchase an Energy Boost, and use it to attack Malawi and the Congo. Southern Africa is nearly free of the dark doctor's taint. Rockgamer now faces the might of two powerful Warlords, and Africa shall be fully liberated in time for Kwanzaa. |
Looks like nutty has turned out to be the real threat. He'd rather ally himself with his brother's killer, and I don't think the Africans would be pleased by this.
First attack on the CAR. Well that didn't turn out too well. |
Aww, that's too bad. Now Rockgamer is being ravaged by the tiniest, pinkest Warlord ever.
|
Realize I just slipped past 24h.
Well, crap, this could go real bad, but: Attacking Benin (loss, won) Attacking Nigeria (loss, won) Buy Use: Tanks to Togo, Chad Rockgamer, you had me trapped, and could cut me out of Warlord easily. As a peace offering I'll give you my hard fought gains at Burkina Faso if you want it so that we're even. |
I accept it.
|
In the past, we've had a rule that you must trade countries 1 for 1, i.e., Araes can't just give Rockgamer a country without receiving one from Rockgamer in return. If he could do that, he could just give Rockgamer his entire collection and hand him the win.
I realize this isn't spelled out in the current rules, so I don't have solid ground to enforce it, but it is in the wiki. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with a move Zergrinch tried (and really, aren't most of our rules a result of Zergrinch?) |
Since that was pretty vague, and its not in the rules for the thread, is that a "don't do it again" and its now added to the rules, or is it "give the country back"?
|
It's more of a "give the country back", since Rockgamer should know better. Still, I'm not exactly impartial, so I won't force the issue.
|
Well, if nobody's going to push the issue, then I'm just going to let it sit, move on, and remember not to do that in the future, as Rock apparently decided I'm not worth it at the moment. In the end, it is something of a waste for me, as I lost two good attacks trying to get through Benin to the outside world.
Edit: Also, I'm not really sure why the rule would matter anyhow. If I wanted to just let someone win, I'd team up, coordinate attacks, and then let them attack me without retaliating until the game was over. |
Fair enough.
|
Quote:
So I'll definitely take note of this for the future, but I see no fault in what we did. |
I think this is the first time Nutty's forgotten to link to the wiki in his first post. The perfect opportunity to defy the rules!
|
Burundi. Twice.
Tanzania. Twice. I'll purchase two Tanks and roll them into Chad and Niger. I'd say more, but Lord British is here and I'm completely exhausted. |
Quote:
I'll begin by attacking the Congo, Sao Tome & Principe, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea. That went remarkably well. I want to leave a buffer zone against Araes, so I'll leave the Central African Republic alone for now. |
Just to let you know, I'm disowning you as my brother if you let my murderer win this.
|
Libya.
Sudan. |
Attacking Niger (fail, fail, win)
Attacking Chad (fail) Heh, predictably nicely under average. Ah well, game's over soon anyhow. Not sure if I'll have 10 after the point refresh, but I'll throw some Tanks at Chad if I do. |
Quote:
I've updated the chart to include the latest moves, but I haven't updated Frank's Warlord gil, pending Araes' last move. Sorry for not updating the map yesterday evening; it slipped my mind. |
Ha, even when I haven't even popped my head in this thread, i still get remembered <3
Looks like they're planting turnips in Africa. Congratulations. Is this like the second time you got backstabbed in Risk, Tritoch? :tpg: |
Frank can go ahead and take his turn. I still forgot to update the map last night, but the chart is current.
|
Hmm, I thought we had another turn after this. Guess I miscounted. Anyhow, Tanks on Cameroon too if I've still got even more money. Why not. Sorry, would have checked sooner had I thought my turn wasn't long done.
|
The chart isn't current, nuts. At least, not from where I'm standing. Aren't I in control of Chad? Saving my actions until the reply~
|
Quote:
|
If this is last turn, seems like you may have things in the bag. Seven countries ahead of the two who haven't gone, and still with your turn to come. Plus, you've got a decent bit of money. Hard not to have that work out.
|
Attacking Sudan. Again.
CAR, also twice. Then fuck it, buy two Tanks and roll them into CAR and Libya. I realize this gives Nutty the game, but Rock really is evil. |
Well, I was going to try to finish off the scourge of Africa, but Frank has blocked me off. Guess I'll have to settle for his pink lackey.
First up, Cameroon x2 and Nigeria x 2. That didn't go as well as planned. Fine, Tanks on Nigeria and Chad. Rockgamer may not have been wiped out, but Team Devin has learned a serious lesson. |
Quote:
Anyway, attacking Libya, Egypt, and Sudan x2. At least I didn't get beat by Frank. Good enough for me. |
Technically, you're now tied with Frank, and you have 10 gil. If you want to purchase a Tank, be my guest.
|
Yeah, the only lesson I see here is that Team Devin will utterly destroy its enemies and carry its (non-traitorous) allies to the end.
|
Quote:
|
With how much crap I took from the dice this game, I'm honestly just happy I made it out of it with some territories intact. Right around the 5 straight loss turn I figured I was doomed.
|
Quote:
Also, don't gloat too much, nutty. I'm pretty sure four people remaining is one of the highest amounts of people left for an endgame, so your victory is hollow at best. As hollow as the African people's love for you. |
Quote:
|
I stand by what I said. I didn't say it was the highest amount ever, just one of the highest amounts.
Also, maybe that's just evidence that you end games too early. Just saying. |
