Betrayed In A Game of Risk

[Zandilund]

No Risk player should shoot for second.

[The Blaatschapen]

The woman I'd enter a relationship with would ideally not even be interested in playing but watching me, so this won't be an issue

Charming.

[Free Ravensburg]

I never had trust to begin with

[Thermodolia]

Thats not a binding in game rule though. Its just an agreement that can be broken without penalty. And there is no international law in Risk to punish me so if breaking the pact is to my benefit, why would I not?

It wouldn’t be honorable

Who cares? The glory and honor of winning outweighs everything else

[Thermodolia]

So we're all agreed, IM is mad about losing a game of Risk, yeah?

Man if this is the drama that happens in Risk i really wana play it. Ive got the box ive just never been able to play it : (

I gots a Star Wars version of risk

[Atheris]

It wouldn’t be honorable

In Risk, that is.

[Apostate]

Such an act by my wife would be celebrated as appropriate conduct in a strategy game. I dare say I would at the minimum approve!

[Rio Cana]

Thats easy. Just scatter all the playing pieces thus the game has to restart from the beginning.

[Postauthoritarian America]

There are no Relationships at the bridge table. Same goes for Risk.

[Heloin]

It'd be quicker just to say no one.

Gaston style?

[Infected Mushroom]

It appears that Option 3 has a giant lead in the polls

[Mathuvan Union]

It's the easy revenge move--cheat on them 3 days later

... in a... board... game?

[The Two Jerseys]

I refuse to believe that an attacker could even get that many winning rolls in one turn, I swear those dice are loaded.

[Major-Tom]

I would expect my significant other to betray me in Risk, and I think she would expect me to do the same. It's a competitive game, and we're competitive people, just as most people are deep down.

Wouldn't change anything, although in that singular moment when somebody betrays you in Risk, it does hurt. I remember, years ago, playing an all-night Risk game with some friends. Midway through, I broke a long-standing alliance and pretty much ruined the chances of that player. He was pretty pissed at me for a good 24 hours.

You can get massive chains of bad rolls but the attacker has a considerable advantage with the 3 dice vs 2 dice

Also, in late game aside from a few giant armies to defend chokepoints to protect continental bonuses, most territories are defended by only soldier

[Baizou]

If I'm at my best, I like to think I'd be impressed and congratulate her for eliminating me in one turn.

But I'd also be reminded why I stopped playing Diplomacy (which is like risk, but only Europe). I think I'd decide I'm better off not playing games like Risk with loved ones.

[Mathuvan Union]

... in a... board... game?

No, in real life

[Infected Mushroom]

... in a... board... game?

No, in real life

New partner time?

[The Free Joy State]

It's a board game.

I can't imagine who'd break off a serious relationship over something so trivial as a board game.

Everyone tries to win board games. It's the nature of them. As Blaat said, next time, I'd go all-out to win.

Our friendly "rivalry" could be part of the fun of our relationship.

So, option three.

Man if this is the drama that happens in Risk i really wana play it. Ive got the box ive just never been able to play it : (

I gots a Star Wars version of risk

Judging by this, I should get a version of Risk. It sounds very fun.

[Westinor]

I’ve got to agree with Blaat, I’d love them even more if they turned on me. Not only do they possess the strategic prowess and cut-throat mentality to do whatever it takes to get what they want - wait.

But to be completely honest, It’d be something really funny and depending on the person I’d probably poke fun at them about it and in the scenario in which I get the chance to pay back the favor...?

I dunno, might be mean. May as well be honorable :^)

So yeah, Three.

But this entire scenario doesn’t matter anyway, since I never lose a game of Risk

[Esternial]

If I found a GF that would acctuly play the game and if she betrayed me id break up with her. Id sya to her "T H I S U N I O N I S O V E R! I H O P E Y O U G E T I N V A D E D E D B Y C O M M U N I S T S!

It's called a period don't be weird about it.

[The Alma Mater]

It's a board game.

I can't imagine who'd break off a serious relationship over something so trivial as a board game.

Perhaps a couple in a permanent D/S relation; where the sub deceiving the master is seen as a breach of contract?
But then they should not be playing RISK in the first place.

[Plzen]

No Risk player should shoot for second.

To quote a popular saying about a different board game, there are two types of Diplomacy players; those that shoot for a solo victory, and losers.

---

On the original topic of this thread, no, my trust is not at all damaged. When I'm playing a game with other people, I expect that they play to win; if that means betrayal, it means betrayal. Games are not real life and events that happen in game should not be responded to as if they happened in real life.
