Risk: OOT Warfare on Wednesday Night

[Dynasty]

Being in OOT makes playing all other games leave my mind for the rest of the night. So, I think I'm going to waste the whole day playing one game of Risk after another.

I'll probably multi-table Risk tonight. Who wants to play in the opening war?

PM me your e-mail and I'll send you the e-mail invitation (that's the way the website works).


War 1: Dynasty, Kurosh, Gorie, Mason Hellmuth, zokbarjazz (Jesus), Randy_Refeld (WarMaster)

Invitation e-mails have been sent out to all combatants.

War 2: Dynasty, mostsmooth, Scotch78, Caldarooni

Invitation e-mails have been sent out to all combatants.

We need a 24 man risk league- ala Poker Superstars. Everyone plays 6 matches, getting points based on place, and then advance.

[kurosh]

Kurosh takes the early lead by capturing Australia. It seems as if that will be his base of attack, as the rest of his armies are spread out.

No, but I ruled 216 in Trade Wars. Yankee Trader and LORD were good, too.

I'd probably be in for some sort of Risk tourney thing.

Then, please follow the instructions in the initial post. It makes things easier to set up for me.

[bugstud]

count me in. link to the site?

[Mason Hellmuth]

To those who haven't caught on,

The images in kurosh and Dynasty's posts update as the game goes on.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, yeah, Obviously.

But in all seriousness, where did Kurosh's troops go? Looks like he took Siam...but then he only has 3 troops there. I guess there was one holdout that killed off like five troops or Kurosh banged his head into China or something.

Obv Mason is the prohibitive favorite now. He's probably 55% or so, with Kurosh around 35% and the other players sharing the final 10%.

LORD was nice because it was simple and you could do your daily turns easily. Trade Wars was still the best BBS game by far though. I miss that game.

And I want in too on some online Risk. League or just tonight, whatever... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's a shame I work evenings. I really want in on this, damnit.

I haven't played Risk in, geez, at least 8 years, and I'm sure I would suck royally ... but I'm having fun just watching you guys.

(That confirms it ... I have no life.)

Wasnt TradeWars 2002 the BBS version? Were you guys hardcore about that game? I remember the good old days on a 2400 modem running trade/steal scripts in TradeWars to steal + sell Equipment at trading posts over and over and stuff or running scripts to move people from Sector 1's planet to populate my own planet. Those were the good old days. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Anyway, I dont think people are that interested nowadays in playing text-only games...

Oh wow really? Hmmm... I dont want to pay to play. I noticed there are a bunch of servers running TW 2002 HERE (http://www.twlinks.com/servers.html) that you can telnet to.

I think Ill check them out later and see how the games are progressing. It sucks bad to have a late start in that game. Let me know if you start out in any of these servers so I can join in.

Ahhh I see now... I didnt even get it when you revealed what the acronym stood for until you said "flirting with Violet." Thats from L.O.R.D. aka Legend of the Red Dragon. That was another fun game, but oversimplistic in my opinion. It could be pretty damn fun if the game was reset and everyone had a good amount of turns though.

Btw, you ever play that game and attack like a lvl2 character, and that character turns out to be equipped with the most powerful weapon in the game? I never figured out how they did that w/o the sysop helping them...

[Voltron87]

Can I get in the next game? someone pm me

or if there is interest i'll start one

[samjjones]

How long is a game? I've never played Risk before.

Due to the site interface, any game is very likely to last greater than an hour.

[Mason Hellmuth]

samjjones,

War 1 has been going for two hours, with only two players eliminated. I'd say another half an hour, easy.

[Voltron87]

I have one person who pmed me seeing if another game could get started, i want to do this, send me some PMs people

[Voltron87]

i have 2 pms now, can people also give me their email address?

[kurosh]

Sigh, I made a risky move and tried to take all of Asia in one turn, but failed and now I am dead. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Voltron87]

dynasty- i was making that up and trying to get more people to play. anyways these games are definitely something you can do in the background and take a turn every 8 minutes or so.

kourosh- so join my game

wow, the QR style is actually helpful for once.

[Luzion]

What is the site/program you guys are using to play Risk? The place that I played online Risk on did not have those ugly blocky continents.

[Voltron87]

warfish.net

for my game, i will wait 5 more minutes for a 5th player and then start. get your emails open becuase im about to send them out

[Voltron87]

k, emails sent and game is starting

[LAGmaniac]

The Ukraine is weak! I will crush the Ukraine!

[Voltron87]

for people hwo couldn't get in this one, sorry about that, why dont you post your interest in this thread so you can organize it and someone who has already played a game can start a new one. you have to be "registered" to start a new game, meaning someone who has already played needs to start it.

Wow. I was really wrong.

Like, just, completely wrong.

How the hell does Mason lose out of that opening?

Will

[Voltron87]

wow, thats magic. how does it work?

also, does anyone know how I find out my ICQ number? it can notify you of your next turn through that , it seems like a good way of doing it. instant messenger is more obvious than email.

[Raydain]

I'd be willing to do another one if one gets set up

The game ended slightly over five hours after this pronoucement.

Gorie and zokbarjazz played extremly tough when it got three-handed. When one army got too powerful, the other two combined strength to take shots at them.

At one time, I had South America and North America with all entrances sealed with decent sized armies. Their combined attacks drove me completely out of the Americas. I ended up taking a shot at zokbarjazz's undefended Australia, captured it, and started all over from there.

[zokbarjazz]

i never want to play risk again.
