Jaybee Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Well, there's 3 reasons why I've wanted to start this game up. 1. I played this recently (after like 2 years) and damn was it fun. 2. Serious lack of mafia or whatever games on SF. There's only 2 now. 3. I need a reason to stay on SF. In any case, I'm hoping to find 6 people to sign up for this. If 12 people sign up, then I can have 2 games at once, I guess. I'll moderate stuff, though I don't mind a co-mod. Note: IIRC there's different versions of Risk, so here's the one we'll be using. Shamelessly taken off Google. Aside from the usual rules of Risk, there's a few additional rules pertaining to conversation. 1. If you want to PM someone (which you probably will), add me and any co-mods to the convo. I want to see how conniving all of you are. 2. You can PM people whenever you all want to. 3. Shoot all co-mods in the head when you die. Also, should I let you all pick your locations or should I randomize the countries? I'll leave that to you all. SIGNUPS: 1. Spykor 2. IET 3. Life 4. Spike 5. Psych 6. SlayerX 7. General Spoon 1. IET - Black - India, Alberta, Madagascar, Siberia, East Africa, Southeast Asia, Eastern United States 2. Psych - Blue - Ontario, Egypt, New Guinea, Russia, Northwest Territory, Eastern Australia, Southern Europe 3. Dickpickle - Green - China, Central America, Central Africa, Afghanistan, Brazil, Argentina, North Africa 4. Life - Red - Venezuela, Iceland, Ural, Greenland, Japan, Mongolia, Middle East 5. Spykor - White - Yakutsk, Irkutsk, Northern Europe, Great Britain, Alaska, Western United States, Eastern Canada 6.

Tables Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 While I admit the idea is good, you're going to need either for someone to be online at the same time as a co-mod, who has access to a copy of the board and/or game, because so much stuff requires dice rolling. Otherwise sending an action and getting a reply a few minutes or hours later means an average turn, with a good 50 actions or so, is going to take weeks. So they're going to have to be on IRC/MSN or something to send actions and get feedback, so turns don't take forever. This is also assuming a person never needs to communicate on their turn. Or that the defender doesn't have to choose how many people to defend with. TL;DR, it's a good idea but I hope you've thought everything through.

Jaybee Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 That's why I need a co-mod; while my holidays are soon, I live in Asia, which means I won't be online at the same time as you guys. Most of the orders should come in during the afternoon in America, which means it'll be like, ridiculously early morning for me. I've also got a copy of the game; depends on whether or not the co-mod has one or not. And attacker can specify, "attack until I have 5 units left alive", for example. The defender just prays his one man can solo 20 guys. =P The only actions you have to communicate on your turn are "Deploy reinforcements to AREA, Attack AREA, move X units from AREA1 to AREA2." Mode can dice-roll. That's assuming we're fair, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tables Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Oh, and I'd say random countries, otherwise you get the drafting tournament style country picking which will take quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yup. I was considering randomizing countries as well. Also, 5 players or 6 players? 5 players means 25 units each, 6 players means 20 units each. I'd honestly rather have 6 players so I can do the 42 regions thing easier, but ehh.

riariadne Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 6 players. And yes that was a signup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tables Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Screw it, I'm in too. I'm really not sure how you're planning to run this quickly and efficiently, but I hope you've worked it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) That makes six. Now I need a co-mod that's awake when I'm not. Oh yeah, we're playing World Domination mode. Since we have 6 players, Psych, you may have to sit out. Sorry. =( Now, I'm gonna say randomize, because I don't want this to take fucking forever. So, order of turns, then colours, then countries. 1. Lightning - Black - India, Alberta, Madagascar, Siberia, East Africa, Southeast Asia, Eastern United States 2. IET - Blue - Ontario, Egypt, New Guinea, Russia, Northwest Territory, Eastern Australia, Southern Europe 3. Dickpickle - Green - China, Central America, Central Africa, Afghanistan, Brazil, Argentina, North Africa 4. Life - Red - Venezuela, Iceland, Ural, Greenland, Japan, Mongolia, Middle East 5. Spykor - White - Yakutsk, Irkutsk, Northern Europe, Great Britain, Alaska, Western United States, Eastern Canada 6. SlayerX - Yellow - Western Europe, South Africa, Indonesia, Scandinavia, Kamchatka, Western Australia, Peru Everyone now has 13 units to fortify their 7 base positions. All orders in in 36 hours. The earlier, the better obviously. Edited November 1, 2010 by JB25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 How do we fortify? I didnt catch it in the rules :/ Sorry if Im dumb. And do we PM you or post in the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 3. Dickpickle - Green - China, Central America, Central Africa, Afghanistan, Brazil, Argentina, North Africa My anus will be unrecognizable after this, huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Fortify is just tell me how many units you want to go where. And yeah, PM me. I was gonna create PMs earlier but I decided that breakfast was more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Dude. Tables is in the Diplomacy one too. >_> And I had to sit it out. Not fair.....<whine> *Sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) I see two of the smartest people on this forum up there. This won't be easy at all. And both have something they might threaten me with. Oh lawd. Edited October 31, 2010 by Dickpickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Wait, if Psych wants in I'm happy to sit out and join the potential next game. I'd be happy to Co-mod but my plate's a little full already... Also recommending you show a map with starting positions on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yeah... I'm kinda waiting for orders in first before posting that horrible horrible map I used in 3 minutes in Paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
