Risk, Game 1 - the silent speaker wins

[mccoyn]

ok mccoyn, how bout a longer alliance.

What did you have in mind?

[rajrhcpfreak]

well it would be hard for you to take europe out and fortify it with out haveing africa along with it. so a 4-5 turn alliance, how ever long you want to help you. im a sitting duck with coolbot.

[mccoyn]

I already have a pact with CoolBot to not attack from Brazil. That leaves an attack through Europe as the only viable way to strike him. I don't see how an alliance with you would help.

I will not attack you in North Africa from Brazil in my next four turns (including this one) and you will not attack me in Brazil from North Africa in your next four turns. The whole thing is dead if I do not capture Brazil this turn or next, I capture all of North America, I lose Brazil after capturing it or you lose North Africa.

[rajrhcpfreak]

so your going to attack him from europe?

it makes more since to attack him from brazil after the alliance is up.

at least to me, i would do it that way.

im ready to make an alliance until you capture all of africa and north america.

[mccoyn]

I don't have any particular designs on Africa or Europe in the short term. So, I see no benefit from an alliance with you. The alternative is a long term alliance. That doesn't seem likly to be profitable given your current situation and the uncertain nature of the game.

I'll offer you a one turn non-aggression pact. I won't attack you on my turn if you agree not to attack me on your next turn. We might be able to keep this up for a few turns, after which the future will be more clear and we can discuss something then. If it makes you feel better, I don't see any gain in attacking Europe in the forseeable future.

[rajrhcpfreak]

it looks like thats waht i have to do.

[mith]

Sorry for the delay, no access at home and not much here (yet). I'll figure out some way to get the map up by tomorrow, and the cards out as well.

[the silent speaker]

Two armies in India, three in Siam.

Sia-Chi (as before, first three dice mine, fourth die defending):

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (1, 5, 2, 5) = 13

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 6, 3) = 13

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (4, 6, 3, 4) = 17

[the silent speaker]

First roll takes it and max armies move in. I should have 8 on each of India and China, 1 on Siam, the rest unchanged. End turn.

Coolbot:

Are you interested in a two-round truce?

[CoolBot]

tss, with no further buildup on India & the Mid East?

[rajrhcpfreak]

it looks like the alliances are killing me.

im going to be over ran by coolbot and hes going to have africa and europe. it will be smart to keep me in the game. it keeps coolbot from getting 2 conts. not to mention, it looks like i will constantly i will be constanly fighting coolbot to stay alive.

[the silent speaker]

tss, with no further buildup on India & the Mid East?

That would be fine.

[mith]

Doh, I guess that must've been an old file on the usb drive. I'll correct it in a bit.

[mccoyn]

Thanks!

[mith]

Better?

[mccoyn]

I'm just going from memory, but that looks right.

[mith]

Previous maps can be found in the directory (I do every turn even if multiple turns occur between updates). Hopefully they're all right.

[WindSlicer]

[mccoyn]

Results:

1: I lose 2. I have 6.
2: We each lose 1. I have 5, WindSlicer has 8.
3: I lose 2. I have 3.

As I stated thats as far as I will take this battle.

At the end of my turn I will move 5 troops from Western United states to Central America.

I get a card for taking NW Territory.

Changes this turn:
Northwest Territory was occupied with 3 troops.
Greenland has 1 troop.
Western US has 1 troop.
Central US has 6 troops.

I have 4 cards.

All the bad luck should be used up for the game.
