Risk

[MVB]

You know, I guess rts games make you better at it or something, but I had been hearing from my gf and her hallmates that they were like Risk Gods or something, playing it all the time, and being damned good, and my gf being the champ.

We played this weekend, three of us, and I was all ready for a heck of a game, but I just pulled a basic rush as if I were playing HW2 or DoW, and it was over in 20 minutes.

Pffft.

lmao

I think it's encoded in the DNA

[Tank0]

ROFL


so true , at university they had "legendary" risk games so i got curious . usualy they defended untill they had to attack ( 87 vs 67 armies ) , pfft boring , i just placed my troops and accomplished my objectives , they all looked at me in shock like it wasn t the idea to reach your objectives but to conquer the entire world .not my problem , i just went for it , afterall the game is called "RISK" for something .


should point those huys to a boardgame called axis & allies , now that game requires some skill . if youy are the axis you need to kill one of the allies asap and if you are an ally you just need to survive the first few turns and rearm .

[MVB]

axis and allies is a hot game

we should play it and risk at the meet

[amir]

Yeah what was the expresion on her face ?

[MVB]

I told her I loved her and was sorry for kicking her ass. What was the expression on your face, hon?

[MVBismyman]

aww, trying to drag me in on this forum....there was no expression on my face, it was simply me letting him gain some pride so the next time we play his defeat will burn even deeper! I was just trying to be the good gf that let him win the first time we played....now that we've had round one, round two can get rough!

[Justice]

Oof.

She was going EASY on you, MVB!

Make sure you own him a little next time.

cheers, and

[MVBismyman]

well, I can't decide if he likes it when I take it easy or if he wants me to play rough...next time we play, I'll have to judge by his reaction. Axis and Allies is a great game, btw; it requires more skill, but it also requires more time. Hey, do any of you remember what the name of a game is...it's that game with red and blue pieces...they stand up and the point of the game is to hide your "flag" and some of the pieces have bombs on them while other pieces are just normal and you confront the opposition and depending on whose piece has more value depends on who wins that part of the match. I might be crazy, but I know someone out there has played it too! Whatever the name of that game is, that's a fun one too!

[DrunkenUno]

Do you get into it hardcore, with like 6 people playing, forming alliances and such? THATS when risk gets insane, when you have 4v2s and shit.

[laserflip]

yea, can you develop an MVBr on risk?! :D that would be sweet. risk in nub

[Justice]

I doubt they have flak frigates in Risk.

:D

[Tank0]

don t know how you yanks call it but the game is called STRATEGO over here , the new variants ( stratego for 4 ) is even better

[tom]

Noobs.

No, Stratego is a different game Tank.

[Karmashock]

Risk is fun... a little too chance based... but still fun.

yeah i remember that, it starts with an S and has a chinese monk dude on the box.. can't remember the full name tho.. its been ages :)

[MVBismyman]

I think we should all team up on MVB in a game of RISK...test his skills

[Bentusi]

The name of the game is Strageo.

There was a computer risk game called Risk 2, was a fairly good copy of the board game. I wonder if it had online play..

[stats]

wtf is risk? and why are americans wasting precious 'halls' time playing it? hmmm....

[MVB]

Dude, stats, I'm going to kick you in the nuts. Risk is a classic board strategy game, the best ever most likely.

Can't believe you've never played it.

[stats]

only board game i play nowadays is monoply =/

i've never even heard of risk

[Polaris]

i cant find anybody who actually understands the game to teach it to me.... :(

[Tank0]

Noobs.

No, Stratego is a different game Tank.i was responding to Mrs MVB stealthy

only board game i play nowadays is monoply =/

i've never even heard of riskyou really should get out more :P

i cant find anybody who actually understands the game to teach it to me.... :(
RTFM , it aint rocketscience unless you go hardcore like drunk mentioned

[eXoRciSt]

Gosh, I have never finished a game of Monopoly, and probably noone has... so why is it so famous?!

[Polaris]

RTFM , it aint rocketscience unless you go hardcore like drunk mentioned
that's what i thought, but stating a simple rule ended up in an argument because of "well, i've always played it this way" and "fuck you, the rules say otherwise"
so i didnt even bother

[00025]

I havent played Risk. Is it like an RTS board game? The only board games I play is Chess, Pente, Game of the Generals and Shogi.

[MVBismyman]

monopoly isn't monopoly until you can play it all the way through (at least once in your life)...and RISK isn't RISK until there are alliances and back stabbing and conspiracies (ie why we should gang up against MVB)

[Karmashock]

only board game i play nowadays is monoply =/

i've never even heard of risk
you have no excuse. I remember Rimmer mentioned being a champion at in "red dwarf" the cult british scifi classic from the 80s. So clearly the english are familar with the game.


It's a very good game and lots of fun.


the only problem with it is that people that suck, play it slowly so it takes a long time to finish a game. You can't stop. You have to keep rolling the dice and moving. Kind of like monoploy... you have to play it fast... or be prepared to have single game take a few hours... risk on average still takes about twice as long to finish.

[Polaris]

This calls for a new thread!

[Bentusi]

lol, I ALWAYS hide money under the table/in my pocket/wherever when I play Monopoly.

It's hilarious when people start getting happy because they see me on the brink of ruin and suddenly I pull out 5000 dollars :)

[Karmashock]

you cheat?... at monopoly?... cheap bitches the lot of you... my 8 year old cousin does that... ruins the game. he's fast though... just roles the dice and goes.

[Polaris]

lol
its only fun when everybody does it
i remember we ended up playing a game for like 3 days straight because everybody (6 of us) cheated. it was so funny.

[/<yle]

=','=

I always build up in well defended continents, like NA, SA, and Australia, then push my way out. I guess im a classic player.

[Karmashock]

asia is a nightmare... too many ways into it...

[MVBismyman]

haha, MVB, when you gonna get married?

[MVB]

Pffft the great MVB never marries, he merely beds women at his own leisure

*stomps off to the harem*

[Polaris]

that's a dangerous phillosophy there
but perhaps MVB's good enough with the women to get away with it

[Tank0]

our beloved leader is referring to himself in third person , i dont know 4 sure but we think thats a sign of a mental disorder , now where is Ummon when you need a shrink


he cant get married this year , we have troubles just organizing a meet not to mention a stag party

Quit making up game names youse.

[Bentusi]

fine, I can't type, you get the fuckin idea.

My time is too precious to proofread, you want better typing? Install a spellchecker :D

[tom]

I do nothing at the request of you.

I don't think there is a spellchecker mod anyways.

[MVBismyman]

he THINKS he's good enough to get away with that....I laugh at his statement cause he hasn't had me in bed (many failed attempts I can assure you all!) and I can't wait for his proposal in which I will respond that "the great MVB never marries", take the ring and walk away...then proceed to sell it to the nearest pawn store getting at least the what, maybe $100 he paid for it, and then treat myself to a nice dinner with a few potential suiters! :lmao:

[omegachiken]

as drunk stated hardcore risk games are the best alliances, deseptions ,counters surrounding the enemy and hunting them down god i need to start playing again

[stats]

omg mike! your poor poor ego!

[MVB]

My girl just, as Drunk originally said, omgwtfpwned me.

[omegachiken]

My girl just, as Drunk originally said, omgwtfpwned me.
*gives MVB a 21 gun salute for his bravery* omfgyougotpwned :D

[MVBismyman]

:howdy: I love you, Mike!! I can't wait for that ring!

[Justice]

I bet you can't afford this, Mike:

[Polaris]

i thought engagement rings were less embellished than wedding rings, though
like silver with 1-3 diamonds v. gold with 3+ ....
but what do i know?

[DivinerSage]

Yeah Ive had Axis And Allies for like 10 years and Ive lost most of the cardboard pieces and unit markers so I had to make new ones out of glass beads, paper clips, and poker tokens. Me and my family have played it so much the box is all worn to hell. The only games Ive played more is HW2, Chess, and Othello (btw othello is the most difficult game to master that I have ever encountered its a BITCH)



I use to play rish ALOT but when I started playing HW1 back in the day and tried to play risk again I couldnt stand it no real time, no 3d movement, and only one unit UGGGHHH!!!!!!!!

[Polaris]

divi!
i wanna see you on hw2!!!
and i want you to teach me gerbil rushing!
