GFF Risk 10: The One Where Tritoch Doesn't Win

Since Rockgamer's currently going to be a Warlord if he makes it to his turn with his states intact, do unaligned states like Tennessee count towards the total money he would gain if this happens, or do they count as having no money?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They count as having no money. I suspect that KrelEN and Hawkeye will be dealing with the whole Warlord thing anyway.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

4 Dice Rolls Arkansas

Time to reclaim the south (hopefully)...

Attacking Texas.

Attacking Oklahoma.

Again.

Attacking Arkansas.

Most amazing jew boots

4 Dice Rolls idaho 4

Attacking Idaho.

ok, the dice roller officially hates me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You just don't have the proper weaponry to deal with spud-based defenses.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I knew we should've used cutlery, but nooooo, they said that normal cannonballs would work fine. Silly Nevada desert types don't know how to deal with vegetables at all.

FELIPE NO

4 Dice Rolls Alabama

Attacking North Carolina. (Lost)
Attacking North Carolina. (Lost)
Attacking North Carolina. (Won)
Attacking Alabama. (Lost)

Well, that went pretty miserably. 3/8 so far.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If Rockgamer gets better rolls than 50%, I'm going to conclude the dice is loaded in his favor

Jam it back in, in the dark.

6 Dice Rolls New Mexico 2

Alright, first I'm taking over Colorado.

Next is Arizona.

Then, California.

And with Tritoch's EB in tow, I'll use it and attack New Mexico.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Haha, looks like you get your wish Zerg. Thought it was gonna be all 10's there for a second. Also, Tritoch is down if that's a legal string across the corners. Which means a bunch of bad coming our way shortly.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, I confirmed it was legal with nutty before I went about doing it. Didn't want to pull a Plarom there.

How ya doing, buddy?

In the end it was 3 for 6. Guess Rock should've stopped at turn 4

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yes, because I want to be known as having super accurate dice rolls so I will surely become the next target everyone goes for (especially now that Tritoch is gone).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Wait a second. I was fine with being taken out by Rock until I got to looking at the map. Ignoring the terrible team treachery, that isn't a border between Colorado and Arizona. I'm not calling for Rock to lose his turns like Plarom did since he asked before making the move, but there's no way those moves should count. That "border" is complete crap, and Nutty knows it.

If he doesn't, then I am prepared to make it known to him every day for the rest of the week while I'm at his apartment.

FELIPE NO

Sorry Tritoch, it's a national monument, and per Wikipedia (and my grade school geography):

Quote:

The Four Corners is a region of the United States consisting of southwest Arizona, northwest Utah, northeast Colorado and southeast New Mexico. The name comes from the Four Corners Monument, located where the four states touch — the only location in the United States that is on the boundaries of four states.

THREAD TITLE CONFIRMED

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Fine, I wasn't expecting there to be a national monument on hand to prove your point.

Love is still over though, Rock. What happened to Cave Buddies?

So, any chance we'll be seeing a :Trigrudge: form?

I could go over the specifics, but no one wants to- aw hell, let's do it:

1) Considering you're the most hated person in this game, aligning with you would put just as big a target on my back as the one that was on yours.

2) Despite that, I probably would have aligned with you in this game if you had actually asked. I wasn't just gonna assume we had an alliance since this was a new game, and since I asked you in the last game I figured you might ask me in this one.

3) And let's not forget, you made an alliance with Plarom even after you had just aligned with me in the last game. To add insult to injury, you didn't even tell me about it until he was almost dead and you could use the opportunity to pounce on him. So not only did you hide another alliance from me (is there no trust?), but you showed that you're willing to betray your allies at the drop of a hat if it's beneficial to you.

So yeah, not sure if that's the type of person I want to be allied with, in Risk anyway. I still have no problem being CAVE BUDDIES in any other endeavor.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, we're gonna do this? Alright, let's throw down. It's on.

1) Considering you were the only other person to survive last game and were the one who set me up to take out Plarom, I figure you've got that target anyway.

2) A fair point, but then you've been upset in past games when I've attacked you due to the assumed alliance.

3) I hid nothing, and you know that. I made that alliance after you were already off AIM, and I figured I would just tell you the next day. Then I woke up to find Plarom nearly dead and a PM in my inbox telling me to finish him off. I'm not gonna bother quoting the following exchange, but you talked me into taking him out despite my protests that I wasn't keen on breaking the alliance so quickly. I did because you reminded me that I'd get his stuff and that Nutty would do it if I didn't. Don't give me that "drop of a hat" stuff, Mr. C'mooooon.

And yes, I do believe it's time I revived the :Trigrudge:. Looks like you're joining Yeldarb on there.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

This strikes a chord with my funny bone Rock, coming from you of all people

Don't you people make me call Dr. Phil.

Let's see if I can conquer Tennessee.

How about Utah?

Have you not seen the thread title? Sure, I might have been instrumental in helping you win, but the hate for me is nowhere near the level it is for you. If I can alleviate some of that hate against me by disassociating myself from you, why shouldn't I? An alliance with you in this game would definitely had been more harmful than beneficial, regardless of people's sentiments towards me.

When have I ever assumed we had an alliance? I may have jokingly gotten upset if you attacked me due to OLDK solidarity, but that hardly translates to an actual alliance (which, prior to the last game, the only time I've ever had one is with Zerg in Game 3 or whatever that was).

Don't try to use lack of communication as an excuse for not telling me about your alliance with Plarom. You could have just left me a PM saying you had made an alliance (though I'm wondering why you're making alliances behind my back in the first place), especially considering you knew my turn would be coming up soon. Or you know, you could have told me beforehand that you were making an alliance with him, like how I told you I wanted to bring nutty into our alliance before we even had one. This just reeks of secret backstabbing alliance.

And don't act like you're revealing insider information, as I've already told Plarom that I'm the one who urged you to finish him off. Quote whatever PMs you want, but all the involved parties already know about it, so it'll just make you look more pathetic (trying to drag me down just because you lost, seriously?). And sorry, but persuading you to break your alliance with two PMs counts as drop of a hat to me. You had no problem skewing your moral compass once I reminded you that you'd get his stuff, so any hesitation before that was due to your own lack of remembering the rules, not because you were so eager to keep your alliance.

If you're seriously gonna stick me on the same level as Yeldarb, go ahead. I don't need silly grudges to make myself feel better for things that are clearly my own fault.

What, you mean because Tritoch and I betrayed you after we found out you were playing us against each other? I've never initiated a betrayal of any alliance I've had, and in this case I only betrayed you at all because you did so first.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Wait, what do you think this is? I mean, I said we were going to "throw down." I'd never actually get angry over something like this.

If anything, this is the best end result I could've hoped for. Who finishes me off? The one player that doesn't have a reason for vengeance. Classic.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What can I say, I'm bored, and it seemed like a fun argument to make. We have to make people believe that Team Devin is collapsing unto itself, for full effect and all.

CAVE BUDDIES 4 LIFE!
