Risk Nes 1

[RoddyVR]

grrrrr yellow is so annoying!!!! why won't you let him die!!!

i do what i think is most likely to keep him alive every turn. unfortunately this turn it included a suicidal surge attack, which cost him 3 armies for no gain (he'd have had 4 armies in there if i hadnt sent the surge)
i'd assumed that orange would attack that spot too and so figured that a border clash is better then a defencive fight.
but next turn he will likely be dead. hopefully i'll be able to spend his cards so that whoever kills him doesnt get 4 cards.

 

[Jason The King]

I hate you bacon king! ARGGGG.

 

[Toteone]

Baaah, just move some troops over from Indonesia to Siam. Should have gone with a tactical move from Indonesia to Siam last round after all, but there was no way of knowing what black would have done.
PS. Need card update...

 

[RoddyVR]

good job all, have all orders except Jason's, but since he posted last night, and didnt post orders, i can asume with a completely clear concience that he doesnt want to move anything.
i'm only here half a day, and not working tomorow (then its the weekend) so i have to turn my computer off by noon, which means the update cant be later then that. i also have to get quite some work done by then. so will do update in the free moments between work. so it'll take a while to do.

Toteone, card update is always after the tactical move phase (meaning its part of this update) cause that's when teh computer gives out the cards (after the tactical moves)

 

[Toteone]

North King, it's rather rude of you to march to China and make a stand right in front of my capital continent. Seizing Afghanistan is more of a slap in the face. You should have made for N. America... shoo off to Europe or something! This is my home and I WILL defend it. However if you deign to sample your cards somewhere else and don't disrupt my Asian holdings then I would of course be willing to tolerate the precense of your mammoth army.

 

[Jason The King]

Roddy your right, i dont intend to move.

 

[RoddyVR]

ok. here it is. now need reinforcement orders. will send card list PMs in a few mins.

reinforcements everyone has to place:

11 	Orange	Human Slaughter
10 	Purple	Toteone
05 	Black=	North King
01 	yellow	NPC
03 	Red===	Jason King
03 	Blue==	Bacon King
04 	Green=	Kentharu

 

[Toteone]

Oooh what the spoon, I'll turn in my turdy four infantry and cash in my 4+2+2 troops and mass my purple territories. Leastwise North King will probably get my point.
in-game in-thread orders:
turn in cards for 14 armies +2 in China & +2 in Siam
2 armies in Mongolia, 4+2 armies in China, 4+2 armies in India, 2 armies in Middle East, 2 armies in Siam

Total of armies in purple territories from north to south:

Mongolia: 19
China: 7
Middle East: 3
India: 5
Siam: 9
Indonesia: 8
New Guinea: 2
Western Australia: 2
Eastern Australia: 1

I'm afraid you will have to leave the continent, halt your agression or face a high likelihood of destruction North King. Please stop reinforcing what is beyond reasonable doubt a failure in Asian ventures Black. Personally I'd make for North America given the same predicament.

PS. Much obliged if you would declare your intent for the the black army in Afghanistan to me in a PM or in-thread, North King. Silence will be met by reluctant attacks on potentially stationary/withdrawing forces (from the Asian continent) in order to secure Asian holdings.

i hate to lose the incredible pace we're going at the last few updates, but....
update wont be till monday at earliest. moving tomorow and wont be anywhere with a working computer till i get back to work on monday.

 

[Toteone]

Heeey, I could start a Risk unofficial Expansion pack (actually bought one) and run it here in the NES'ing forum!

...
just noticed something:

Why did Yellow surge attack North Africa? Are you trying to finish of the NPC, did a PC try to commit kamikaze or is the AI simply so stupid?

Btw. guys, you sure proved me wrong about sending in orders! We'll see about survival. Yes, there is a chance; given a minimal amount of luck and/or perhaps some subjectively benevolent power balance or not.

PS. Is it possible to order surge attacks into your own territories in case of invasion m.o.d.Roddy?

 

[Toteone]

Are we playing with option of quitting the game w/ a allied victory, an actual in-game function of allied victory or will you make us fight each other to the death Roddy?

i did the orders for yellow that turn. i did the surge attack cause i expected orange to attack w europe in the hopes of being the one to kill off yellow. and there was the slight chance of being a bit lucky and ruining orange's africa continent bonus.

my train got canceled (or delayed actualy) so i'm back here for a few mins, while the transit people tell me how i'm supposed to go home now.

 

[human-slaughter]

I dident attack W Euro because I dident know yellow was gonna go there Im perfectly happy having almost to full continent

 

[Kentharu]

just dont attack up to europe!! i worked to hard to get that to die now

 

[Toteone]

Awww, you'll have extra mitten cards (4) next round, you're quite solid.

 

[North King]

I'm sorry Toteone, but board game or story, I bow to no tyrant.

 

[Toteone]

PS. Like the 'tude! I don't know if you're going to attack me but if you are then it'll probably be going out in a blaze of glory which would be kewl but veeery disruptive for my play

edit: Your decision of course *bow curtsy* ^_^

This is our home, do not think Asia can be yours.
---

Very well but I am no tyrant. I am the leader of the Purple Empire of Australasia and if you ravage my land I will fight back; I have more men, my strategies will prove superior, I have fortune by my side and I will win.

LoL
I.e. North King IRL I'm not trying to order you around, but you're cramping my living space, in fact you're smack dab in the center of the three dominant powers of the game. (Purple Empire, Europe and Africa)

 

[Symphony D.]

lurker's comment: Toteone, you psycho, it's a well-known fact it's virtually impossible to take or hold Asia until the late game.

My money is on Orange. I got into a position with South America and Africa like that in a real game awhile ago and it's pretty nice. Make Egypt strong.

 

[Toteone]

-extensive answer and a little bit of ranting deleted-

 

[human-slaughter]

yea i have money on me too
