Pete - thank you so much for creating this community. Had my round 1 game last night. Finished 3rd with no kills in an 1 hr long game. Couldn’t believe the nerves I felt trying to make the best moves & not feeding any kills to others. Likely could have played it better to get a kill or better finish, but I had so much fun regardless. Bless you for your work
Getting on good terms with the trapped AUS player was crucial here. So he chose someone else to su into, forcing the next player to take him and handing you the W. GG WP.
This tournament is fun Pete! I had my first ever game in a tournament last night. Finished 2nd with 1 bounty. Could have done better, but it’s my first time and i’m just trying to have fun. Thank you for making this possible Pete!
Thanks for organizing this tournament! I felt very lucky to finish 1st in a game with 3 GM players. Though 2nd in points since 2nd place had two bounties to my one.
Pete, have you thought about raising the points for getting the first bounty. Possibly 4 points instead of 3? A slight incentive for players to go for the kill. Just a thought, thanks brotha. great vid. My round 1 game is saturday!!
My R1 was the exact opposite of this game: someone early slam for a kill in Aus but fails, gifts three kills and 9 cards to the Africa player who feeds the EU position to me (NA position), was 16 minutes. Gj on this round and gl in the future!
Fixed is the exact opposite of progressive in this aspect. Kills are pretty much only cost effective before the first trade, instead of after. It always depends on the map as well of course, the larger the bonuses the harder for kills to be profitable.
35:35 is there anyway for black to communicate to blue: I feed you Pink, and we alliance in SA/Africa Then blue reciprocates by feeding white to Black They kindly split to +5/+5 or stay at respectable +7/+3 (black homies up for second/third place depending on Red/Orange)
This was such an interesting game. Because of the card skipping, both orange and black theoretically can out generate blue long term with big trades each time. And white is out generating pink too with big trades. What’s crazy game
Hey Pete! I really aprecciate what you have done for our comunity. I've played the first round of the tournament but this shitty stalemateing setting sucks so badly. Hopeful I wont have another few hours game next round. Ty!
I wonder if classic fixed is becoming less of a hook for people now that Europe caps is more popular. Although Europe caps r1 would stalemate way harder.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I agree. That's why I play prog without caps and mostly in maps that bonus matter less. It takes more skill IMO than the annoying cap stacking in high level eurocaps games. And games are a lot less shorter.
Pete, is there any validity to masking the CC's of risk in the tournament file? So people don't know know their being streamed to thousands of folks? Might prevent this card skipping and in some case good neighbors.. just a thought. You could be anything in the file and since there's so few CC's it wouldn't be hard for y'all to keep track.
Hey Pete - why do you sometimes adjust the number of dice to roll? e.g. when clearing up black at the end? You always seem to move all the troops in anyway, so why adjust the roll like that?
By adjusting the slider, you set the number of troops to commit to the attack. Normally, you want it to be as few as possible for 100%. Maybe He pushed the slider to max as a dramatic move to end the game.
What was the thought process behind not ever moving your 4 out of Aus? Orange seemed pretty friendly at the start, and I thought that was your plan, but it never materialized. Also curious why the card skip on fixed. Really fun video, catching up on the KPO finally
Hey Pete. If you were pink (which you will probably say “if I was pink I wouldn’t be in that situation”) Would you start negotiating with the European player to hit the N.A. player. Would move the game forward and give bounty
Is this a feature of the KPO? Pete plays in every round. He cannot be eliminated. But if you are in a game with Pete, actually killing him comes with extra championship points. I don't know what, if anything, special happens to those Pete kills in any given game, given that Pete's not actually allowed to win his own tournament.
A lot of good neighbor in this tournament…..WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!? 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ But hey, I scored higher than 2 Grandmasters in my group….and I’m an Intermediate!! 😂😂😂
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Well, I'm always rootin for ya and love what you stand for and love that you are so open about your past with mental health struggles so I'd love nothin more than to see ya win anything and everything 😘
Also i always comment while watching and think of more to say. Firstly nice shirt, secondly i think orange should have gone after you after that white kill. I feel bad for white
You said you can't win your own tournament, since that would look bad. I think I can speak for the whole community in saying we would love the most Pete content we can get out of this tournament! What about this idea? If you win the tournament, donate the money to a community voted charity!
Very cautious play from many in this round… Almost scared to hit or take bounties 😅. But as you clearly stated, all of the opponents couldn’t possibly hope to win the game really….
If I were white I would have removed the black exterior and combined all my troops in middle east (@ 26:00) just because I would not be able to resist the urge to progress the game. Would that have me killed (6th position)?
You need some sort of digital trophy the winners can pin on their player models. Not sure if the devs would allow it, but kinda like a superbowl ring or an Olympic medal.
Hey Pete! I know I'd be scared shitless if I had you as an opponent in my first tournament, do we feel like especially newer players would act more favorably towards you? Being the risktaker you are 😂
It's a real thing. Sometimes it works the opposite way as well. I get treated favourably, I get targeted. It is the way the game is ultimately. I could compete in disguise but we banned alts in tournaments for a reason. That's a whole different fairness problem
I didn't like my open and I wanted to make sure that all of the stacks I had in the Europe sphere remained untouched. Taking a card here seemed less worth the risk of hitting a stack and getting bad dice.
No doubt Pete played well, but it reminded me of a fake martial arts video where the master waves his hands and the students start diving about the floor. The other players let Pete get away with murder the whole game, never broke him, never teamed on him despite him leading. He got his hands dirty once with white and that was it. As i say Pete played well, but the others looked like they played a bit too deferentially.
I’m thoroughly disappointed with how it’s slow rolling, but I’m admiring that there is not a single bot in your 100 k, it’s all humans who really like risk man super cool to see you grow the community, your doing the risk gods work lol 😂
Question, you say you can't win your own tournament, why are you in it? You change the game purely by being in it and make games progress unnaturally. A different player may not have ended white which could have changed the outcome of the game.
if im going to be honest you and black played that game extremely well from the beginning it looked very bad for both of you at some point in like the first turn or something and you were the 2 final players. Anyways classic w from the one and only pete
27 Minutes in, yeah, we are in for a long one you are at the half way point of this video almost 30 minutes in and no one has died yet, oh boy. 35:56 no bonus with cards out scales plus two with no cards. every card is 2-3 troops (1.3 to 3.3)
Do you think star power in your own tournament takes away from the validity of your result? e.g. white surrendering Europe for no conceivable gain. You could argue it negatively affects you, but curious for your thoughts.
The fairness question is real. People treat me favourably or unfavourably because of that 'star power' so it goes both ways. I could play in disguise but we banned alts in tournaments because they create other types of fairness issues.
I was white player in this watching it back without actually playing i see a few things i couldve done to at least get a bounty and 5th but you live and you learn...or you just die by pete 😅
Hi there White, I think you had a great chance to claim Europe. You had more troops around Ukraine than Pete. What were your thoughts behind not claiming EU and playing a noncontinent game?
@@lashandaz.6085 in the practice games I had Europe always ended bad for someone not that my choice was much better in the end. I was hoping out of everything to not get a Europe spawn and of course it was me and Pete that would've been competing for it so I just decided not to go for it.
This is an incredibly boring way to play Risk. I much prefer faster pace games where you actively try an prevent your opponents from getting bonuses. If you skipped watching people trade kills, and fortify a death stack, the videos would be about 1/10th as long.
Pete - thank you so much for creating this community. Had my round 1 game last night. Finished 3rd with no kills in an 1 hr long game.

This was a really well played game. And the narration was damn spot on!
This is so awesome watching your first round just hours after my first round! Time to take notes on what I could have done better.
This tournament is fun Pete! I had my first ever game in a tournament last night. Finished 2nd with 1 bounty. Could have done better, but it’s my first time and i’m just trying to have fun. Thank you for making this possible Pete!
Good stuff! You're welcome.
Thanks for organizing this tournament! I felt very lucky to finish 1st in a game with 3 GM players. Though 2nd in points since 2nd place had two bounties to my one.
Well played!
1:13 hehe as soon as the Peteman puts his hands together and gives a thank you the Love Robot emoji appears beside his head.
Haha that was me guess I got the perfect timing 😍 not the perfect game though
@@Rynem11 Good game! Well played!
Nice W Pete!
And thanks for putting up a great tourney for this community :)
Nice work on the game and the tournament. A really well organized and designed event. 😺
This is gonna be the sickest tournament of the year🔥🔥🔥
Also 29:21
Damn, didn't expect you to win this one. Intense action! Wish blue would've gotten second tho.
43:58, Pete, black, and orange are literally tied at 117 troops each, pretty cool.
Pete, have you thought about raising the points for getting the first bounty. Possibly 4 points instead of 3? A slight incentive for players to go for the kill. Just a thought, thanks brotha. great vid. My round 1 game is saturday!!
Agreed!
Honestly the goat, first time risk tournament won first round so excited
Well done!
I started Risk a week ago and finished first in the 1st round :). Thx Pete for your tournament and chanel
let's go, Brandon!
My R1 was the exact opposite of this game: someone early slam for a kill in Aus but fails, gifts three kills and 9 cards to the Africa player who feeds the EU position to me (NA position), was 16 minutes. Gj on this round and gl in the future!
👍👍👍
40:20 aren't all bounties negative in fixed? You at most get 5 cards that are no more than 17 troops
Depends on when you take them if its early game you can go positive

Almost all.
Thanks for com-Peting everyone.
18 points squad! GG and good luck
Just finished round 1 and I am jacked up! 1st and 4 kills baby. I looked like the fish early and shit got crazy.
After pink lost orange should have seen the deadliest trap coming and moved his stack to Africa to spice everything up
common Pete W
I play Friday night. Good luck to all
Good luck!
Can't wait to compete in this tournament, it will be my first one!
Good luck!
You did a really good job commentating this one
😻
Thank you to whoever gave me the last time slot for r1, you are a legend
They fit me in too. Great group of people!
How do I get those shapes of triangles and squares
35:35 is there anyway for black to communicate to blue:
I feed you Pink, and we alliance in SA/Africa
Then blue reciprocates by feeding white to Black
They kindly split to +5/+5 or stay at respectable +7/+3 (black homies up for second/third place depending on Red/Orange)
Is it happening… 41:50
I love how good the curl was today
Loved this game, well played! I was surprised White handed Europe to you at the start, felt like a net negative and that’s how it turned out.
This was such an interesting game. Because of the card skipping, both orange and black theoretically can out generate blue long term with big trades each time. And white is out generating pink too with big trades.
What’s crazy game
Is it 1 round per week? I couldnt find any info on round 2
Yes, one per week. At the beginning of next week, the spreadsheet will update the groups for the next round.

I think hiding player identities is only acceptable if it's everyone. Otherwise there's major fairness problems to consider that don't get ironed out

Isn't your score 16? From what you said at the start 12 for the win 3 for first bounty and 1 for the last bounty?
Players earn bounties independantly of other players.
The first bounty YOU earn is 3
then 3
then 2
then 1
then 1
A perfect game is 22 pts.
What was the thought process behind not ever moving your 4 out of Aus? Orange seemed pretty friendly at the start, and I thought that was your plan, but it never materialized.
Also curious why the card skip on fixed. Really fun video, catching up on the KPO finally
Am I missing something or do you just tell people to take each bounty so you can clean up? New to the game
Hey Pete. If you were pink (which you will probably say “if I was pink I wouldn’t be in that situation”)
Would you start negotiating with the European player to hit the N.A. player. Would move the game forward and give bounty
I suppose your only hope would be to try to use the alliances.
The other option is to threaten or even slow roll the stack you want to move though.
How did black get the red text for his name?
Is this a feature of the KPO? Pete plays in every round. He cannot be eliminated. But if you are in a game with Pete, actually killing him comes with extra championship points.

1,700 people played! Its gotta be a stacked game then.
Did u want orange to attack so u wouldn’t get a lot of points in your own tournament or did u think it would help u?
I wanted them to take the white bounty and progress the game because I knew they'd be stuck in Australia
Is it too late to join ? I found your channel a couple days ago and really would love to play in
A lot of good neighbor in this tournament…..WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!?
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
But hey, I scored higher than 2 Grandmasters in my group….and I’m an Intermediate!! 😂😂😂
Was the card skip on turn 1 just because there weren't any 1s to hit?
3:17 why can't he win his own tournament? pros throw tournaments that they just happen to end up winning all the time.
I think I should say won't rather than can't
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Well, I'm always rootin for ya and love what you stand for and love that you are so open about your past with mental health struggles so I'd love nothin more than to see ya win anything and everything 😘

6`1 is always whatts up with me.

Sorry Pete. Not me. Love the game but I don’t play via this method. Prefer the board game kinda olde skool I guess.
I nearly had your game, but my white remained in Europe. So I died first and got no kills. Doh
My games tommorow
Good luck!

Hi there White, I think you had a great chance to claim Europe. You had more troops around Ukraine than Pete. What were your thoughts behind not claiming EU and playing a noncontinent game?
BTW I think you played the noncontinent game well by occupying the mideast and Kamchatka.

Something seems kind of broken about twitch streaming and strongly advising that your fans attack each other.
Anyone watching the stream in a tournament game is cheating
