9:29 Yeah I figured that something like that must be the case after I started watching, I just never imagined you'd actually tell us (this isn't a bad thing). Always nice, when I first started watching your show, there is tons of things I didn't understand about what I was seeing on screen, especially the Graphical User Interface, and how anything worked mechanically. 11:51 Spell Table is a great resource for us, we also use Moxfield to proxy digital decks, when we don't have camera setups for paper, or want to test new decks out. 13:50 is it weird I feel like now that he has moved you should take asia, a continent you wont' be allowed to keep. I really do get frustrated with this map, I want them to split asia into a north and south for bonuses. 1 minute later: Yes I'm aware it's a bad idea, i just... it's tempting. 16:19 here is an interesting question, do you as black set up a blockade in canada (3 territories) to cardblock, forcing them to fortify to go out through africa or bring more troops out of the bottom mexico hold. 17:54 WOW... He, did just that. Whoa. 25:18 I've been wanting you to bring that green north asian territory west, to close the noose on the asia you aren't taking. I find it very fun. 27:15 it's now 103 Orange, 100 Green and 121 Magenta, but whoo wee, we'll see. with after this turn everyone will have 3 cards, it's something alright. 31:01 Take Asia. Please. I just want to see it, with a big stack in the middle east, and if you need to card north america. I just. thought you'd take it as soon as he backed off. Shrug? I know it's not the ideal play.
Reminds me of my first Ranked game ever. I just started playing recently. My best spawn was NA so I tried to patiently take it. That didn't work out so I moved to Europe gained control and set up the 1 central stack interior guard. I did this while in the final 3 Yellow had SA and Africa, Black Australia and Asia. They was in a war and my strat was to take cards in NA and stack trying to catch up. Like you say stay out of trouble. After having my Europe for several turns Yellow started breaking me. I gave him multiple chance to give me something but kept breaking me and Black left me alone lol. Finally I said screw it and full sent into Yellow helping Black kill him. I got the kill the gave Black a good game. Finished 2nd. Yellow was a Grandmaster, Black was a Master.
Interesting game! I learned a lot about where stacks were placed to block opponent actions on various sides and how that affected the outcome. One thing I don't understand is why you passed up several opportunities to pop 1 army in the Middle East to take Asia. Even if you know they're going to pop it back if you can't fully setup a defense, what's the harm in laying the temporary threat of the bonus? Thanks for all the fun vids
it probably has to do with psychology. they might not break and then view you as too strong. or someone will feel forced to break you and then anticipate a retaliation and so attack you more or point their stack at you. this isn't an exact science you sort of have to guess what your opponents are thinking
You did orange wrong :(. You told him to attack pink and then didn't fulfill the alliance. I probably would've done the same as orange breaking you in Asia, also you never let anyone hold Asia. However, very smart to go for second there rather than to slowly get eaten. Good game!
I'd be happy to work with orange if they allowed me to gain any sort of advantage or equality with them. Being stuck in oz I have to make a move or I get eaten.
That game you was talking about, around 20:20, where u say u encouraged a player to put a stack in Asia etc, is there a link for that please...? It'd be interesting to see what tactics you used. Thanks...👍
I will say Thank you. Since i watch your videos im addicted to this game. Once i was a happy Toxic salty Counter Strike Player with friends, a nice group of people which are Toxic and salty too. But that YOU! Played the last days to Expert and now i know how false people can be through Risk xD Like your content a lot. And play mostly Risk Fixed classic. but this game broke my trust in humanity xD But truly its such a nice game and Australian Players gonna be punished every round xD
Hey Pete, learning Risk through your channel has been a pleasure. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thoughts as you play. I am trying to understand why you split your troops the way you did. I am a dirty (noob) intermediate, so... that explains my question I am sure. Why give the easier path to take your bonus with the significantly lower troop count in India? I do get that you have the bigger stack to punish the play if someone chose that, but does it not leave it open to the trolls to just smash through? At least in my games it seems people will push well past their ability to hold just to punish anyone they can. When I saw that, I immediately thought someone would push through it. Thanks for any feedback!
The large single stack is threatening and mobile. It doesn't defend my bonus as well in a hard sense. It defends it by saying 'hit me and I'll hit you back' But having it be open allows me to make kills when I need to or move to a better part of the board
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Thank you! I appreciate the reply. The insight helps, truly. That makes sense, and one thing I certainly did not consider was the mobility. Thank you again for the reply!
When the three player game started I think I would have moved a big stack into NA and staked a claim, establishing a balance with the other two. Nice kill on orange though! Haha
Hey Pete! Love watching your videos. I started playing Risk on the computers in my high school. It was a game called conquest on them. Never really thought about Risk until a few months ago and started playing on mobile. With some luck and lots of your advice I just recently made it to GM. Thanks for everything you do brother, especially the life talks during your conquests. Question for you. Are there any strictly classic fixed tournaments out there?
There's tournaments for just about everything. If you go to "Friends of Risk", you should find most, if not all of the tournaments being hosted currently or soon.
Since orange wasn’t going to let Pete have Asia, he should have stacked in the Ukraine and used his Greenland stack to close the Asia corridor. Surely Magenta would have picked up on the trap play?
28:09 I really didnt like the fact that you had an agrement with orange to attack pink and then you didnt go throught with it. Can you explain your thinking there? When somebody does that to me I usually end the game right then and there. Lol
23:55 I remember the fixed game where you fortified your stacks to create a runway through Alaska into Asia for the SA player, but I can't find the video
Pete, you are clearly a very good player, but your FFA W/L record defies statistical probability. It's obvious that most GMs have achieved their ranking by using multiple accounts. In your case, it's especially egregious because you have monetized you ranking. At the moment, the game is rife with both multi account cheating and player collaboration -- which makes your W/L record all the more implausible. Good luck. You seem like a great guy -- but the math don't lie.
I agree that my stats dont make sense. The discrepancy you see has two main reasons: Years ago the leaderboard had ffa and 1v1 combined. When they separated all the stats were counted as ffa. Also players were a lot worse than they are today so I used to be able to get 90%+ winrates playing FFA Progressive WD before I taught everyone how to play it. Risk theory has come a long way thanks to YT, Twitch and Discord. I have never had any Risk account suspended for cheating in almost four years in the game. I am a very passionate advocate for fairplay in the game but I completely understand how you can look at my stats and say 'that's impossible' because in todays enviroment it is.
@@robertjusic9097 Is what true? I have no reason to make anything up or exaggerate. I've been shooting my games for years. It's all on yt. The evidence speaks for itself.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy OK, that makes sense. You have my sincere apology. And respect for your willingness to address the issue rather than sling vitriol.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy They certainly weren't going to let you hold Asia and Aus together ? Maybe moving that big ass stack into NA would have put you in a better bargaining position. Is it not the whole point of the Aus strat to eventually shuffle the board ?
@@mrc2222 I assume it's because orange and magenta had mini stacks occupying 2 border territories there (29:44). I would guess the issue was that it's a gamble on them complying with moving them out, all while giving up his only home. In this losing state however, it might have been worth a try to mix up fate (easy to just say in hindsight). whichever of them that might then move in to Australia might draw aggro from the other (specially magenta if holding 3), which is good since promoting a sui or war between them is likely the win condition, like how magenta won. Beside that and suiciding to secure 2nd, the only other option is just to stack in oz/anywhere and hope they just eventually sui on their own relatively soon, which also isn't fun, boring and barely playing, and still might lose in 3rd.
I saw the thumbnail and laughed! Pete playing Australia willingly?!😂😂
Sometimes you just have too
Indeed, it doesn’t feel good but it’s a necessary skill to learn
Black emoting like crazy after blue popped his stack... like genuonely what did he possibly think was going to happen
A lot of players will just sit in SA and skip. I've seen people win that way.
Pete once again uploading as I finish work and I have my popcorn ready let's go
🥰🥰🥰
Going for the Austrailia play?
This must be the Thrill Pete Stradegy!

I always find your Australia games super interesting. It's always great to see when and how you make your move.

Ive been watching for a year or so and i have to say, big dick Asia is the funniest moment yet to me cant wait to see the result. Thanks Pete.

Oh I commented right before the very end when you addressed that idea 😂
Still I think it’s 50/50 they let you have it
1st time a saw someone dab I thought they were smelling their armpit😂😂😂

18:00 luckily you play against noobs :D That 14 would probably be enough for someone decent to shift their attention from blue :D
I always play against noobs. When I play in tournaments against good players I... Do alright too
The only way Fixed Friday could be made greater is with a Phil Collins soundtrack. Damn you platform and their copyright.
Pete at this point you need to just admit what you are, and move to Australia IRL.
I think I could do much worse
Since orange wasn’t going to let Pete have Asia, he should have stacked in the Ukraine and used his Greenland stack to close the Asia corridor. Surely Magenta would have picked up on the trap play?
The Australia position is ok when you play with noobs because they keep hitting each other and you just let them kill each other, then you take over.

Great job smashing orange. He was the first to break Asia. You also deduced that he was the highest skill player and didn't give you a reason to care
The 4th March could be a very important day.
Almost at 100k subscribers😮
Pete, how much do we have to pay you to do a classic fixed Asia bonus or bust game?
Oh I've done it
u seem u are in a really good mood 😂😂😂
Maybe not every day but I hope it was this time
23:55 I remember the fixed game where you fortified your stacks to create a runway through Alaska into Asia for the SA player, but I can't find the video

Crazy unlucky unless your playing me and I'm too slow and you wipe the board 😅
