Especially enjoyed this Fixed Friday episode; a couple nights ago I was playing a 6 player Classic Global Dom and due to a poor placement I was forced to fight for and do an Australian Turtle. Made it by the skin of my teeth and was firmly in 6th when about a 1/2 dozen turns in the #4 player was taken out by the leader who shortly botted out when he realized how bad the exchange went. Within the next dozen or so turns 3 other players botted out so I ended up fighting 4 bots and a live player who had double my troops. Quite a while later I won the game much to my human adversary's surprise. I am especially proud of this one.
@@TheDannytaz Like 2 minutes ago I literally just won a game with NA and the expansion of Asia Lol. Most of my wins were from Africa though, I will say. 9-13 atm
34:49 That was beautiful! Knowing Green was watching you, you say, "Yeah, I know you do. I'll leave", then wipe him off the map as you're saying "trying to teach people how to play." Schooled!! Just brilliant total situational awareness.
The problem with letting utilitarianism kill a bunch of people is that utilitarianism can get utility calculations wrong sometimes (inherent biases, bad data, etc.) and it's much better for long-term utility-maximization for the fail state to be "we try investing in a government program for a few years and then realize it doesn't work" than to be "we kill millions/billions of people".
@@TheKillPeteStrategy this was my exact thought when you commented on this subject, you’re trying to play risk, while also dipping your toes into an extremely deep and complex subject. Not the ideal situation to go into depth on it
It’s a nice thought and it allowed the Egyptians, Romans, and Spartans to get a lot done but eventually the slaves always rise against their masters. Forced indoctrination, such as the janissary core of the ottomans, is a much more viable option on the long term; using children of their conquered enemies they created an army willing to die on command and almost bring all of Europe to its knees.
Utilitarianism: killing a billion people because you got the math wrong Deontology: killing a billion people because you got the math right This is why the STEM-right should be utliitarian, and the humanities-left should be deontological I suppose ;). (as for your main concern: incrementalism is part of utilitarianism. It's utilitarian to hedge bets, take out insurance etc)
This surprised me. Pete: what a shame to spend all that money incarcerating people Me: Oh, he's going to say let's rehabilitate them or prevent crime in the first place. Pete's a humanitarian Pete: bullets are 50 cents Me: FUUUUUUCK! Pete's a monster!
@@Itsdonk Disagree. It might sound mean as fuck, but personality, intelligence and impulsiveness are pretty much set by the age of 6, and lots of researchers would even argue that the cut-off is at about 4 years of age. Rehabilitation rates are insanely low, even in countries that invest millions/person like Norway. This cost to society, either monetary or safety, has to be paired with the fact that earth is already overpopulated and that is only going to change to the worse in the near future. Now what do you do with genetic psychopaths or people that cannot be integrated into society without literally a team of highly educated experts for each of them? It's a sad truth but that doesn't make it any less true.
Yeah there's a ton to say about this. One day maybe I'll flesh out my thoughts on how to structure society, government, justice, economics etc. a la Plato's republic. The medium definitely does not lend itself to depth of understanding even if this was the entire focus of the video. The upside to the medium is that I get to shout loudly and make controversial statements and you guys get to pick them apart. The starting point I always return to is this: What is the greatest problem facing humanity? My frame of the answer is: We lack a mutual definition of progress. We also lack a mechanism to determine that definition. This is step one to solving these types of problems so it is where I like to focus my attention. What we do with the have nots of the world may not be a meaningful question in a circumstance where those have nots live at the Rawlsian 'decent minimum' etc etc etc
Was so happy to finally catch this live after binge watching so many vids. You're one of the few streamer that can actually hold my attention. Thanks for the great content!
In regard to greens play, I think some aspects of what they did was good no continent strategy. If you do decide to go no continent then you need to deny all players NA, if you don't think the rest of the board is going to block it then you need to do it yourself then try to get as many easy cards as possible in Asia and hope the rest of the board go to war. But I think he over-extended himself in his blocking of white.
Regarding your take on capital punishment. One fair point is if countries matched the amount they spent on prisons in alleviating poverty a large portion of people that end up in prison wouldn't. Most people aren't going to resort to crimes like petty theft or small time burglary if they have a job with a wage that allows them to live a comfortable lifestyle, instead we have a situation where many people are in a position where they can work 40-50 hours a week and still be struggling to make ends meet or they can break into someones house and nick a TV, if they don't get caught then they have more money than they otherwise would and if they do get caught at least they are guaranteed 3 meals a day, a roof over their head and all the healthcare they need which for many is a better lifestyle than they would for going out and doing an honest days work.
Pete's channel is blowing up. Who'd have expected a risk game channel to blow up. I think I started subbing just 2 weeks ago & he was around 28-29k IIRC.
10:20, love your comment on the tragic situation of the way we communicate nowadays! I think people seeing this are the solution, talking to everyone with an open heart and mind. One of your videos has been recommended to me and now I am hooked. Love your content! Love the game! Got my first win (45mins, progressive) yesterday after 10 games, was so hyped. Greetings from switzerland!
Hi Pete I’m a recent viewer / sub. I really appreciate your gameplay and your willingness to teach others how to improve. You’re going to create some competition for yourself with this channel! Thanks again!
Those hearts from green lol. The fact that he gave you one after breaking you and THEN gave you a thumbs down after you retook africa makes me think he's a psycho hahah. How fun
So 47:53, it's not a good idea to stack in siam in this case ( as It's the last territory in the bot continent). if you stack in Indonesia the bot won't be incentivized to put its set there as it already has enough troops to roll a one and it won't have enough troops left to break Australia. Another thing to note is Bot logic thinks one step at a time it can't think 3 steps ahead so whatever you are trying to defend, as long as it's not immediately bordering a bot, would likely not be *targeted* by it.
Re: capital punishment. The scholarly articles I've found on the topic suggest that capital punishment does not decrease murder (John J Donohue III, Justin Wolfers 2009, Oxford) I know your argument is an economic one, and you mentioned homeless people not receiving support. I believe homeless people should indeed be given support (I have personally been homeless, it is quite a struggle to get back on one's feet). A solution to crime that reduces the rate of crime, is more economically viable. Considering the economic cost of crime is not only the sum of the cost of maintaining prisons. There are many layers to the cost of crime, these include the impact of crime on the community, law enforcement, and the Judicial system. Being a complex problem, a simple solution (that seems to me, to be reductionistic) will not have favourable results. My suggested response would be to reframe the judicial system from punishment, to rehabilitation. Reward prisons with revenue for successful rehabilitation. Causing more pain and suffering to traumatised people does not make them better. Treating the mental health of perpetrators, and of at risk people, will help reduce the crime rate. Elevating communities out of poverty will also aid in the reduction of crime. On the other hand, more extreme measures, such as capital punishment for many/most/all crimes, also has significant dangers. For example, in such a system, conservative states could inflict capital punishment for: abortion, being gay, infedelity, Witchcraft, and so on. Thus, I don't agree with a capital punishment solution to crime.
Obviously this isn't the medium for an in depth conversation on the topic. This reads like a thesis statement from an essay I would have written in highschool. I agree with everything you said. I prefer design based solutions to structural problems. So the design of the entire system is the level I like to have to conversation on. At some point I'll have to put together my comprehensive take on political/social/economic philosophy a la Plato's republic.
I used to love this game, never realized it could be played online untill algorithm desided to show me one of the vids of thos content creator, so i started!! 😎 Now i want to climb the GR ladder. Wish me luck. Also ... I am open to friend up with you lads and lassies so we can practisch on eithother.. Cheers have a nice day.
Hey Pete, love the content!! When you are taking territories super fast, what buttons or settings do you use to make that happen? I'm guessing I have some 'animation settings' still up because just hitting 'enter' as fast as I can feels pretty slow. Also love to hear your spot on views about social media weaponizing latent angst and lack of purpose for profit and political division, as well as how the economy is mostly speculation at this point. Totally agree and it's always great to see whenever people see through the fog of blaming "the other side" for everything that seems wrong
Idea: live board game stream. That is, Risk-but not online; use the board we've all played with at home? Kind of a live poker game, live D&D kinda vibe. No? Obviously, you wouldn't be able to do it often. Maybe a monthly event. Or, get this-hyped up for over a year with special guests. Special stakes? (I don't know, I'd watch. Lots might.)
Regarding censorship, you have the right to say what you want, what you don't have is the right to say what you want without criticism or consequences.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I respect that. I agree. I don't think there is a best. You're one of the best though. Like you say: "I am a top player playing risk global domination on PC." Only one of the best. Big respect for you. 😄
Hi Pete! I saw your videos like a week ago and you MADE me get the game! I got it on mobile first lost a ton of games and then got it on steam and had my first win! I never played before but im now a happy 4/22 Intermediate. I love the game but I feel it is impossible to win on mobile because of the speed can you advise which mode can be played on mobile effectively (so far I only played progressive as I like it to be on the quicker side and fixed seems way too slow. Thanks for the great content( and the new addiction as well ;)
@@TheKillPeteStrategy i tried 120 is more useful on mobile but makes the game a bit longer on the other hand I ha my first win while waiting for a mate in the pub (on mobile) so all is well thx for all the educational and more importantly entertaining content
I play a lot of expert solo. One thing I learned about playing bots. Even if you are close to losing, take as much land as you can, guard nothing, and just keep playing like a complete moron, and you will eventually end up top.
Hey I’m new to this channel. Really enjoy watching and learning. Just have a question - how do you know that they are bots playing instead of people? And what do you mean by “ he’s boting “. Did the players leave the game to let the computer take over? Sorry, I’m just really ignorant about all these things in the game.
If you ever did make another channel talking about philosophy and politics I'd enjoy that. Also having people on to discuss with you ideas. I had a feeling when you said a bullet for 50 cents that you might be utilitarian then you said "It'd just be a universal utilitarian good! :D" and I was like "Okay that's basically admission" hahaha. That utilitarian argument is an interesting one but runs into many pitfalls, such as the idea of slavery etc. Like if you had a tribe with 50 people enslaving 1 person would lead to the best group outcome and most utilitarian's wouldn't like that and so they have to re-think their positions. The stance of the most good for the most people is how a lot of people define Morality, I define it differently. The major contentions in philosophical and political debate IMO are Semantics, Hyperbole and Binary Thinking. Outside of bad faith actors those 3 things are typically what most people will disagree with each other on. The way you can define someone acting in bad faith is to enquire about their axiomatic principles, example would be if someone puts power and safety above truth, they probably can't engage in good faith to have a truthful conversation if the particular topic is something they want control over.
@44:52 put your trade in from the red kill on your 3 in Asia and break Australia and you'd have had the win I believe. We alllllll knew Green was toast, was hilarious. GG's man.
It's not that there's a breakdown of rational discourse (though there is that too), there's a rejection of rationalism (a key part of the post-modern rejection of classical western liberalism) altogether.
Holy shit Pete, I was not ready for you to mention that a bullet is 50¢, never really critically thought about how we're literally clothing and feeding criminals and letting homeless people die in the streets. I don't think that killing the criminals is a great idea though because there are often people wrongly accused of things and the death penalty is irreversible. It's a lot of power for the state to have too. Wish there was a better option than clothing and feeding them
Obviously this is not the medium for an in depth conversation on the topic. Maybe one day I'll put together my comprehensive social political philosophy like Plato's Republic.
Spoiler below Although I'm glad green got the axe, it's kind of weird that stream sniping is against TOS for the video game, but listening to your opponents is expected for the actual boardgame. Still super new to this version(s) of the game, just thought that was funny. 😆 I love it whenever cheaters get punished, though!
It's one of the reasons I don't like playing with alliances, you can't form secret alliances when playing the board game so I don't think it should be part of the game when you play online.
Do you play FF without alliances? I feel like there's a definite advantage to at least communicate your movement intentions / collectively break the quick rise of greedy players, but I've yet to see a video with you not using that setting. Most beginners that stumble into my lobbies just seem to be confused when I try and use it. Thx!
Thanks for yet another entertaining video. I find your engagement with the chat charming and natural, adds to the overall great experience. One question regarding this particular video - is it just me or did you change anything in your audio setup? It sounds less clear than usual, a bit “tinny” even, especially near the beginning. Or maybe it’s just me being paranoid🤪 Still, watched and enjoyed the whole thing 👍👍👍
Your content got me to rediscover my love of this game. I still need to visit your old videos but I would love to see a series covering different " openings" based on where your randomly put.
What’s the best way to load risk domination. Can you do it without steam. I’m getting a lot of forced extension and adding which seems more like a scam.
I think law and its punishments despite expensive have a deterring effect on individuals seeking to break them. so you can consider the purposes of a legal system. reform? punish? deter? Think what society in general is saying - without law, the problems that arise will be more expensive than running the legal system.
The problem with the life ruination scale is it inevitably turns into the impact ruination scale and with impact you have infinite points of and cannot be scaled definably. Also how do you define impact what with emotional, physical, and potentially spiritual. It may not be perfect but violence/physical is the most definable.
I can only play solo expert bots due to mobile data and no wifi. Why do the bots focus on my territories when I can see the "correct" moves that I'd make in their position?? Just wondering if any of you awesome people know 😁
I don't think players would actually want a strong Risk AI that could beat them consistently so I don't think it's high up on the list of things being developed.
It would require a rational justice system and an enfranchised populace. The us vs them distinction of the people vs their government need not be the case, it only is the case.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy It is the case because the government almost universally favours supporting the bourgeoisie over the proletariat because of hegemony and 'mutual benefit' between governments and capitalists.. Governments will never be on the side of the people.
Hear me out Pete. To prevent people from using the bot out strategy, why not reward players who stay in the game by purposefully killing the bot first and letting the other human player get the kill on you? Especially in a game like this where you wound up not winning while that loser bot out guy pulls a victory.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I mean it's a crazy idea and essentially guarantees you don't win but... In this video, once the second player bots out, you attack the only remaining human player, logically of course, though knowing full well if purple logs back in he wins. So rather than Killing red who is a human who has honorably stayed in the game, why not eliminate purple, secure second for yourself, and give Red the satisfaction of winning for not being a quitter. It's dumb cause it's not a path to victory, but it makes it so loser bot bois don't get victory points after leaving the game.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Putting someone to death requires years and years of many many appeals (and even then innocent people are still put to death...which on its own should be enough of an argument against capital punishment)..which ends up costing the system so much more than a life sentence would
@@garmatey3816 I'm aware. You are highlighting a flaw in the structure of the us justice system as opposed to an argument against capital punishment. I agree that the justice system should be effecient and inexpensive. It's almost like lawyers become politicians who then write more and more complex laws to further enrich themselves rather than focusing on creating a fair justice system.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy A properly working justice system *would* have years and years of multiple appeals before putting someone to death though... Even with that process we put a non-zero number of innocent people to death (which for me is enough of a reason against capital punishment) Even if killing them was cheaper I would still rather pay more to ensure innocent people arent killed by the government
@@garmatey3816 that's where we disagree. I think a proper justice system is extremely minimalistic At least we were able to find and articulate the disagreement.
So why kill red when you did? I understand he’s a real player that isn’t predictable, but with how both two were playing, couldn’t you have worked with him to finish the bots and make the kill on red when it was more profitable?
The issue with a heads up situation like that with bots is you never know when your opponent will stop working with you and in Risk you get a lot of advantage by being the player to throw the first punch.
@28:05: where exactly is white supposed to get a card? with 4 troops v 16? 13 v 28? I do not like asking stupid questions, but I'm just a curious content consumer... but sure. that player has no hope.

A perfect game!!! Way to go
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Thx man
Idea: live board game stream.
That is, Risk-but not online; use the board we've all played with at home?
Kind of a live poker game, live D&D kinda vibe. No?
Obviously, you wouldn't be able to do it often. Maybe a monthly event. Or, get this-hyped up for over a year with special guests. Special stakes?
(I don't know, I'd watch. Lots might.)
I have thought about this. I'll make it happen one day.
Regarding censorship, you have the right to say what you want, what you don't have is the right to say what you want without criticism or consequences.
I back that.
I dig these fixed Fridays videos, do you stream on TH-cam at all?
I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
I could comment a thousand times on this, absolutely love it! interesting game with many wise words in between, much appreciated!
Best risk player loses to a bot??? WHAT?!? Cmon Ole Pete lol. Great game play though. 👍 can't win everytime 🤷🏻♀️ Hopefully you win tommorow 👩🏻
I would never have claimed that I am the best Risk player.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I respect that. I agree. I don't think there is a best. You're one of the best though. Like you say: "I am a top player playing risk global domination on PC." Only one of the best. Big respect for you. 😄
Hahaha a bullet is $.50 I love this guy
lol
Hi Pete! I saw your videos like a week ago and you MADE me get the game! I got it on mobile first lost a ton of games and then got it on steam and had my first win! I never played before but im now a happy 4/22 Intermediate. I love the game but I feel it is impossible to win on mobile because of the speed can you advise which mode can be played on mobile effectively (so far I only played progressive as I like it to be on the quicker side and fixed seems way too slow. Thanks for the great content( and the new addiction as well ;)
If you wanna play on mobile you can make 90s turn timers. That might help.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy i tried 120 is more useful on mobile but makes the game a bit longer on the other hand I ha my first win while waiting for a mate in the pub (on mobile) so all is well thx for all the educational and more importantly entertaining content
I play a lot of expert solo. One thing I learned about playing bots. Even if you are close to losing, take as much land as you can, guard nothing, and just keep playing like a complete moron, and you will eventually end up top.
RIP Bird Blintz. You served Pete well 🫡
Too high profile now. I need better camouflage.
Hey I’m new to this channel. Really enjoy watching and learning. Just have a question - how do you know that they are bots playing instead of people? And what do you mean by “ he’s boting “. Did the players leave the game to let the computer take over? Sorry, I’m just really ignorant about all these things in the game.
When a player leaves or disconnects an ai takes over.
If you ever did make another channel talking about philosophy and politics I'd enjoy that. Also having people on to discuss with you ideas. I had a feeling when you said a bullet for 50 cents that you might be utilitarian then you said "It'd just be a universal utilitarian good! :D" and I was like "Okay that's basically admission" hahaha.
That utilitarian argument is an interesting one but runs into many pitfalls, such as the idea of slavery etc. Like if you had a tribe with 50 people enslaving 1 person would lead to the best group outcome and most utilitarian's wouldn't like that and so they have to re-think their positions. The stance of the most good for the most people is how a lot of people define Morality, I define it differently.
The major contentions in philosophical and political debate IMO are Semantics, Hyperbole and Binary Thinking. Outside of bad faith actors those 3 things are typically what most people will disagree with each other on. The way you can define someone acting in bad faith is to enquire about their axiomatic principles, example would be if someone puts power and safety above truth, they probably can't engage in good faith to have a truthful conversation if the particular topic is something they want control over.
If love to get more into it honestly.
And yes. I've noticed that most people have never trained themselves how to think properly.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy It'd be so cool to do politics and geo-politics while playing risk hahaha!
Are you not live on TH-cam? Also, I had to search as I didn’t get notified of new video
I don't actually know how to do that.
@44:52 put your trade in from the red kill on your 3 in Asia and break Australia and you'd have had the win I believe. We alllllll knew Green was toast, was hilarious. GG's man.
Yeah man. I screwed that up for sure!
I'm almost certain purple did the "fake bot" trick and returned to win the game.
Awful
I thought I liked Pete; and then he quotes Eric Weinstein. Turns out I love Pete.
That man is underrated
Keep it up pete
💪💪💪
Yesss fixed Friday!
It's not that there's a breakdown of rational discourse (though there is that too), there's a rejection of rationalism (a key part of the post-modern rejection of classical western liberalism) altogether.
Meet the new god. Different than the old god.
I don’t understand why he had to kill red at 44:32 - he was in the overall advantage, wasn’t he?
Holy shit Pete, I was not ready for you to mention that a bullet is 50¢, never really critically thought about how we're literally clothing and feeding criminals and letting homeless people die in the streets. I don't think that killing the criminals is a great idea though because there are often people wrongly accused of things and the death penalty is irreversible. It's a lot of power for the state to have too. Wish there was a better option than clothing and feeding them
Obviously this is not the medium for an in depth conversation on the topic.
Maybe one day I'll put together my comprehensive social political philosophy like Plato's Republic.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I would be happy to read it, whenever you bring up a philisophical topic on the show it's always super interesting.
The vigilantes gather on.
The lonely torch lit hill.
(Green is the vigilante)
🎥
Spoiler below
Although I'm glad green got the axe, it's kind of weird that stream sniping is against TOS for the video game, but listening to your opponents is expected for the actual boardgame.
Still super new to this version(s) of the game, just thought that was funny. 😆 I love it whenever cheaters get punished, though!
It's one of the reasons I don't like playing with alliances, you can't form secret alliances when playing the board game so I don't think it should be part of the game when you play online.
Africa is my favorite!
"Friends" LOL. This is Risk. You make a "friend" and hope you turn on them before they turn on you.
Do you play FF without alliances? I feel like there's a definite advantage to at least communicate your movement intentions / collectively break the quick rise of greedy players, but I've yet to see a video with you not using that setting. Most beginners that stumble into my lobbies just seem to be confused when I try and use it. Thx!
Every time I play classic fixed without alliances something goes wrong.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Appreciate the response. Cheers!
Good game. You are a goler and a schentleman. Oh, wait...
Lol
yes we can!
oh wait this isn't bob the builder
Thanks for yet another entertaining video. I find your engagement with the chat charming and natural, adds to the overall great experience.
One question regarding this particular video - is it just me or did you change anything in your audio setup? It sounds less clear than usual, a bit “tinny” even, especially near the beginning. Or maybe it’s just me being paranoid🤪
Still, watched and enjoyed the whole thing 👍👍👍
I'm still working on settling the audio to a place where I'm happy with it.
What time is the Friday stream? After finding you this week I would like to catch live.
My hours are posted.
Lol at Pete getting bullied by bots. XD
Yeeeeeeeees big pp pete
Yessssss
Your content got me to rediscover my love of this game. I still need to visit your old videos but I would love to see a series covering different " openings" based on where your randomly put.
The existence of the timer does make certain types of analysis more difficult for sure.
I remember when you were losing your voice a bit. I remember asking you about it 😅
I blame the cigarettes
What time would you say you typically stream at I would like to catch your stream sometime
I posted my hours on Twitch.
What’s the best way to load risk domination. Can you do it without steam. I’m getting a lot of forced extension and adding which seems more like a scam.
Yeah I use steam
Bro, that is the way the cookie crumbles is you going for red; should have gone for white instead.
44:33
Never ever break pete green. LOL
hello i like your vids, very cool. i approve A+ would watch again
I think law and its punishments despite expensive have a deterring effect on individuals seeking to break them.
so you can consider the purposes of a legal system. reform? punish? deter?
Think what society in general is saying - without law, the problems that arise will be more expensive than running the legal system.
it's insane that we punish crimes on a violence scale instead of on a life ruination scale
The problem with the life ruination scale is it inevitably turns into the impact ruination scale and with impact you have infinite points of and cannot be scaled definably. Also how do you define impact what with emotional, physical, and potentially spiritual. It may not be perfect but violence/physical is the most definable.
I can only play solo expert bots due to mobile data and no wifi. Why do the bots focus on my territories when I can see the "correct" moves that I'd make in their position?? Just wondering if any of you awesome people know 😁
I don't think players would actually want a strong Risk AI that could beat them consistently so I don't think it's high up on the list of things being developed.
Pete does watching on 1.5 speed effect any of your viewership statistics? I watch the 5hr vids on 2.0 speed lol
I don't know and I wouldn't worry about it Brian. You should be free to enjoy the show any way you like.
Pardon my cluelessness, but how do bot-out strats work? What does handing control to a bot allow you to do that you couldn't do otherwise?
I'm not trying to promote it.
You want the government to have the power to say who lives and who dies? Yea, no thanks.
It would require a rational justice system and an enfranchised populace. The us vs them distinction of the people vs their government need not be the case, it only is the case.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy It is the case because the government almost universally favours supporting the bourgeoisie over the proletariat because of hegemony and 'mutual benefit' between governments and capitalists..
Governments will never be on the side of the people.
You can love me romantically it’ll just be unrequited😂 I come for the risk and stay for the commentary
I thought that was pretty clever when I said it lol
@@TheKillPeteStrategy It was pretty clever and funny to
probably way too late and probably fixed by now, but the gain on your microphone is way too high.
been loving your stuff
Pete. Are you starting to feel better!
I think so.
What does it mean when Pete says "x is a Bot"
A player disconnected and the AI took over.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Makes sense, thank you Pete! Gonna catch you live one day :)
Ouch. All that strategy and hard work just to get bodied by a bot. Feels bad man.
Why did you chose Bangladesh as a country for your character?
I just like the sound of bird blintz from Bangladesh
amazing
funny that purple would have lost, but botting out gave him the win
Hey Pete, how do you fast attack? I spam enter while clicking my mouse but that doesn’t do it as fast as you do
turn off camera animations in settings
“Don’t go for Australia unless it’s given to you for free”
The last video I watched of urs was u fighting for Australia 😭
I hate it. I always get slammed
Hear me out Pete. To prevent people from using the bot out strategy, why not reward players who stay in the game by purposefully killing the bot first and letting the other human player get the kill on you? Especially in a game like this where you wound up not winning while that loser bot out guy pulls a victory.
I'd love to
But we can't talk to eachother.
So how to do as you suggest?
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I mean it's a crazy idea and essentially guarantees you don't win but... In this video, once the second player bots out, you attack the only remaining human player, logically of course, though knowing full well if purple logs back in he wins. So rather than Killing red who is a human who has honorably stayed in the game, why not eliminate purple, secure second for yourself, and give Red the satisfaction of winning for not being a quitter. It's dumb cause it's not a path to victory, but it makes it so loser bot bois don't get victory points after leaving the game.
Hey Pete can u do some live game on TH-cam ?
Sure!
What’s the hot out advantage
Bots don't get attacked as much as players.
I swear to God, you're racking on hundreds of subscribers every day.
Yeah man. It's a blessing!
Putting prisoners to death ends up being more expensive than imprisoning them for life
This is my favourite
It's definitely more expensive when the entire legal and political system has the metastatic cancer of lawyers.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Putting someone to death requires years and years of many many appeals (and even then innocent people are still put to death...which on its own should be enough of an argument against capital punishment)..which ends up costing the system so much more than a life sentence would
@@garmatey3816 I'm aware.
You are highlighting a flaw in the structure of the us justice system as opposed to an argument against capital punishment.
I agree that the justice system should be effecient and inexpensive. It's almost like lawyers become politicians who then write more and more complex laws to further enrich themselves rather than focusing on creating a fair justice system.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy A properly working justice system *would* have years and years of multiple appeals before putting someone to death though...
Even with that process we put a non-zero number of innocent people to death (which for me is enough of a reason against capital punishment) Even if killing them was cheaper I would still rather pay more to ensure innocent people arent killed by the government
@@garmatey3816 that's where we disagree. I think a proper justice system is extremely minimalistic
At least we were able to find and articulate the disagreement.
Why do all my opponents always attack me?
Can you not delay your stream? Poker players do it all the time
The downside here would then by my inability to react to chat in the moment.
So why kill red when you did? I understand he’s a real player that isn’t predictable, but with how both two were playing, couldn’t you have worked with him to finish the bots and make the kill on red when it was more profitable?
The issue with a heads up situation like that with bots is you never know when your opponent will stop working with you and in Risk you get a lot of advantage by being the player to throw the first punch.
My problem is I get drunk with power literally when I am in the lead - Might be the 6 to 12 beers as I played.
Hahaha
Celebrate after you win bro 🍻
@28:05: where exactly is white supposed to get a card? with 4 troops v 16? 13 v 28? I do not like asking stupid questions, but I'm just a curious content consumer... but sure. that player has no hope.
But the gall of green at like 32:00 taking all the bonuses away and then expecting to still live? WOW.
Yep he ded
Why is risk for android a third of a gig?
