I suicided into someone for the first time last night. It was a three way stalemate. I was barely coming third, me and second place were very close, but as events played out, i became further and further a distant third. First place was quite a margain ahead of us both. First place was turtling from aus while holding most of Asia and keeping troops in the top left tile in NA to stop second place getting the bonus there. Second place held SA and Africa and most of NA. I was trying to hold Europe. So after around 5 turns of second place breaking me in europe, not allowing me to hold a bonus. After i was repeatedly letting him hold his unguarded bonus in Africa. I saw red. He was only breaking me and not first place, causing me to fall further and further behind as first place got stronger and stronger, basically giving him the win. On the next set i got i ran every troop i had into the second place player. We both lost.
I don’t know if I’m analyzing this wrong, but I think green was trying to communicate with you to get north and South America, while they got Europe and Australia bonus - that way you each het a +7 per turn, and could’ve continued trading cards with both red and green in Asia. You had good relations with both at the time, and you can see what I’m talking about around the 50:15 mark. If you watch it back, it looked like you might’ve wanted the America’s bonus from green’s perspective, so that’s what they wanted. This scenario played out for a while, and even happened towards the end, but in reverse - where you had Australia and Europe, and green could’ve had the americas. Maybe Im reading too far into things, but Iim guessing you found that play too greedy, and wanted to make more of a friend with red in the long run, but I think taking the America’s with green to solidify the +7 bonus for both of you would’ve been a better play
The thing about fixed is it seems that it's just a stalemate until somebody does a suicide play at the end because they have to go do laundry or something.... it's just not that exciting...
Bro I understand your thought, though im a fixed player and recently in my games I have been doing something different. I've been hunting for kills and tried being ready when I needed to be for a kill. Sometimes I made a risky kill but this made the game progress. Before I would just wait and not pay attention to this 'kill aspect' in fixed games , back then my games would stalemate way more . So I think the stalemate is dependend on the mindset of the players in the fixed game
I watch it, everything plays exactly how he wants to but at the same time... I just do not understand how. Leaving greenland wide open!? You are on another level, I would never play it as psychologically as you do, much more standard- keeping North america bunkering down and hoping for the win thanks to big troop bonus. Kudos man! BTW. I would really appreciate if you talked more about your thought process, why are you doing what you are doing, why do you need to reposition etc. It would really help my game!
12:41 why not kill yellow and take his 4 cards plus Australia? You can put a troop on the 3 stack in NA to kill his 2 stack there, use the 9 stack at the top to kill his 1 and 2 stacks, then put the last 2 troops on your other 9 stack to make it 11, which can kill the four 1 stacks and the 6 stack. Is that too risky since the dice could screw you?
17:26 I feel like you place a little too much importance on keeping the jokers. there was literally no worse trade you could get than the three infantry later on? well... I guess except for no trade at all, which was your point but.... still would've spent that joker there Also, I found a lot of value, particularly in fixed, to keeping the territory card info turned on, so I can see what territories I want to hold for an extra 2 troops when I turn the cards in. Have you considered keeping that on? and if so, what made you decide it is better to keep it turned off? 24:58 I like how Magenta totally got your message. If he wanted North America, then it means he must go after green. He saw the deal you were offering and decided to refuse. I feel like a lot of players would have just taken NA, fortified heavily, and risked your suicide ruining both your games 46:47 great way to send a message there. I love watching and learning from you how to get across those messages (EDIT whoops! I guess he didn't like the message :D )(Double EDIT: lol I guess you showed him! :D )
I think part of the confusion re pink being upset at you was with you stacking a little on the border of Asia, he may have thought you wanted Asia, vs. wanting the bonus for having more countries. Plus he may have thought you were potentially going to card block him. That's a guess, of course.
My read on the situation was that green and I were going to go heads up after we ground out orange. When that didn't happen I could either suicide into green and get second or I could continue to play to win. It all worked out and green player ends up with second anyways.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy i saw the fun fact is that its my dad and i asked if he ever beat someone really good and he show me your channel and video and he is playing on phone (not sure if its makes a diffence ) and still got rank 46 globly am proud side note i never played risk
both attacked red even he was a tie third at a moment with just 2 territories so no wonder he suicide. nice begging for second :). thats why i never play alliances on.

Well sounds like he wanted to lose anyways
did 1st place give you second like pete got?
minute 19:43, it looks like he takes the card, after ending his turn, in real life xD
Haha, I did!
That couldn't have even been timed better if it was intentional wtf lol
omg, this is the most amazing coincidence 🤯
holy shit XD
Rewatched like 8 times 😂

Exactlly or just hope that you get placed in a room full of noobs.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you are not a classic fixed player.
This couldn’t be more accurate 🤣 I like fixed but it’s torture when you get into the stalemate
Agreed fixed gets stalemated mid to late game

If it wasn’t for you’d I would have never started playing risk! Thanks bro.
No problem 👍
This may sound odd but I fall asleep to these vids and restart them if I wake up and it’s over so I prefer the longer vids like this thnx Pete!
I'm glad my work is calming for you.
I watch it, everything plays exactly how he wants to but at the same time... I just do not understand how.
Leaving greenland wide open!?
You are on another level, I would never play it as psychologically as you do, much more standard- keeping North america bunkering down and hoping for the win thanks to big troop bonus.

Check out the beggining of the classic map fixed cards series.
I go through my growth phase and we can see the progression.
Yeeeeeees big pp pete
How do you get the shapes on the map? I remember you said it once in a video but I forgot how lol
It's colourblind mode.
Yo pete, I'm in Toronto. Which park do you play Risk in with the old timers?
Lolll I wish that was a thing
@@TheKillPeteStrategy it can be. Someone just has to get it started......
watching red not take africa for 5000 turns 🥺

Wait you even had a set there! You could definitely have killed Yellow and taken their 4 cards plus Australia, right?
pocket billiards in the UK Pete with the mighty magenta movement 👌
27:40 why you trade an 6 when you could trade a 10 and keep a joker?!?!
I thought you saved the cannon so you could have a bigger set later
It's possible I messed up.

wholesome game
🤣🤣🤣
More fixed please 😊
@killpete, why didnt you kill yellow when you traded in cards? You could have taken Australia in the mix. He had 4 cards?!
I think part of the confusion re pink being upset at you was with you stacking a little on the border of Asia, he may have thought you wanted Asia, vs. wanting the bonus for having more countries. Plus he may have thought you were potentially going to card block him.
That's a guess, of course.
Now shit Pete. I missed you by a few mins lol
Damn!
Don't Start Stacking There! favourite quote of the game followed by Oh nice!!! Pink reraises!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Any relation to Canadian fave Daniel Negranu?
I do think using a lot of poker references makes sense because of the similarities.
What a great game
Just from an outside perspective it seemed like Green wanted to hold Aus and EU and let you have NA and SA and both of you squeeze down and crush red.
"Pocket Pool" is the good Lord's way of giving men something to do with their hands when the Girls are busy doing their thing.... ;)
Gotta keep busy I suppose.
Are you certain those were balance d blitz?
It said so in the battle log.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man you're right on it! ❤️❤️❤️
my dad was green lol i dont know why you left him open but yea nice video

@@Akselblaab it occurs to me I was talking about a completely different game in my response.
Yeah Xeronima is a great player!
@@TheKillPeteStrategy ok but still Nice video
Red looked like pinks colab all along
Do you have color blindness? No offense intended because you say the wrong color a lot of the times when referring to someone.
Nah my my eyes are fine but it's easy to misspeak when you talk constantly
14:37 💀
I went full Canadian.
Pissed pete best pete
Nah chill happy Pete is best bro
i always loose when i try to be in asia, win more matches holding america and south america.
My fav is NA
I would've gone africa at this start-- not sure if that was the optimal option or not
both attacked red even he was a tie third at a moment with just 2 territories so no wonder he suicide. nice begging for second :). thats why i never play alliances on.
I love alliances. I love everything you can learn about your opponents behaviour.
