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

Game Over! Araes Wins!

Same rules as the last game, with the following changes:

-Tanks can only be used on states adjoining your territory, with their cost reduced to 10 gil
-Atomic bombs corrected back to 1-4 states
-Start with no money
-Added Ninjas: Roll again on each attack if it fails the first time. Cost is reduced to 20 (from 30), since there's no defensive value now.
-The 3 unclaimed states in the second round may be acquired by attacking them, if they are adjacent to your states.

The Rules:
-You may do any or all of the follow during your turn, in any order:
1. Attack neighboring states using dice up to 4 times
2. Purchase and use items as many times as you want, until you run out of money
3. Annex 3 unowned states (first day only)
4. Trade states with another player (with their posted agreement)
-You gain 1 gil for each territory acquired (by annexing, attack, or item use), and 1 gil each time an attack against you fails.
-If you deal a killing blow to an opponent (take their last territory), except in the first round, you acquire all of their remaining gil and items.
-Alliances with other players (secret or not) are perfectly fine (and often the key to victory)
-States may be traded with other players (both must post in the thread, and the trade takes place during one of their turns).
-Warlord status is achieved if you begin your turn in ownership of 9 adjoining states. If by some miracle you obtain this, you may take 5 gil from each player that touches your Warlord states.
-Each player starts with 0 gil, 1 Tank, and 1 Energy Boost (see Arms Dealer list below for descriptions).
-You may only attack states adjacent to your territory (Alaska is adjacent to Washington, Hawaii is adjacent to California)
-When attacking, label your dice roll with the state (see example roll in first post). Roll a 1d10; 1-5 means you fail, 6-10 means you are successful.
-Items can be used to attack anywhere (doesn’t have to touch your states).
-Not counting the first round, everyone gets 5 gil added to their account at the beginning of each round.
-No one can be wiped out on the first round. If someone enters the second round with no territory, they may still have a turn.

Arms Dealer List:
(10) Tanks: Take over one state on the map that touches one of your states.
(15) Energy Boost: Gain 2 extra attacks for the day.
(20) Ninjas: Roll again on each of your attacks if they fail the first time.
(25) Blitzkrieg: Conquer 2 adjoining territories.
(30) Atomic Bomb: Take over at least 1 state, with the possibility of taking up to 3 more adjoining states. When using this item, roll a 1d4 die; the number you roll is the number of states you take over.
(35) Death Ray: Conquer 3 adjoining territories at once.


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

Alright, I'll start off by annexing Minnesota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.

Then I'll attack as many of Krel's states as I can in a ploy for revenge Kansas.

Oklahoma is next.

And then I'm coming home to Texas.

And to show that I'm not bitter at all, my tanks will be rolling into Arkansas.

And because I wish heaps of goodwill onto Krel, I will use my Energy Boost and attack Missouri.

And finally, time for an attack on Iowa.

Oh yeah, the Risk thread. I suppose I should conquer something.

I'll begin by annexing Pennsylvania, Arizona, and North Carolina.

Next I'll attack New York and California. And California again.

...Fine, sending a tank into California and attacking Hawaii.

I bet you're now seriously considering changing the way states are attacked, eh Turnip?

Depends too much on luck of the draw

there's really not that big a difference between this method and the one you guys used to use. If both people were picking numbers close to 50, it was still close to a coin flip anyway. This system might work a little better if it gave the attacker a slight advantage, maybe make the target 4 or 5 instead of 6, but even then, any type of Risk will still require a lot of luck to win, that's just the nature of the game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, one of the major differences though is that we don't really have much in the way of troop management with this version. Without actual armies, we can't do things like reinforce areas we feel are of high importance, block choke points, that kind of thing. That was one of the main aspects which often defined games of normal Risk, as it was often a rush to see who could overwhelm N. America and S. America as they were easy to block and hold with fortifications in Brazil, Greenland/Iceland, and Alaska. I don't necessarily think that was better, as it was often that strategy, but it was different.

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

Considering Zerg always used the same number, something close to 50, it was pretty much a 50/50 shot for him before too. There's no difference at all between that and the dice.

There is. Remember, my strategy gives me 50% odds of winning at the minimum. Against an opponent who likes to randomize, I get considerably better odds.

In contrast, variance for using the dice is all over the map. For instance, here were the results for this round:

Unlucky Schmucks
  1. nuttyturnip (0%) - 0 of 4
  2. Dullenplain (17%) - 1 of 6
  3. Tritoch (25%) - 1 of 4
Average Mooks
  1. Hawkeye (50%) - 2 of 4
  2. Araes (50%) - 2 of 4
  3. KrelEn (50%) - 3 of 6
Lucky Bastard
  1. Rockgamer (83%) - 5 out of 6

But anyway, that's criticism for another time. Best of luck in this game, fellas.

Plarom's attacks against North Carolina and California are void because they aren't adjacent to any of his states. He loses those attacks, and we move into Round 2.

The three remaining unclaimed states (Tennesee, Alabama, Utah) may be attacked just like any other state (meaning they must touch one of your states, and you roll a die for it). KrelEN's up.
