Challenge Accepted
13I received my Fuku yesterday, and there was a note from @moose inside. When I logged into the account at WarLight.net, I find the a Risk-style game a map of every county in Texas.
It seems the rules are specific counties gain extra armies, but controlling any specific region actually grants negative armies.
Seeing as how I've never won a game of Risk, I'm a bit nervous. Let's see how this goes.
Removed the map...Fog is on, so I don't want him seeing where I'm at.

Screw it, Im game too.
@moose @novedrake if you want another challenger, let me know. I see no one in game.
This was a pre-made game. There was a username/pwd in the box and it was already established. I'll probably create my own account after this game.
Good, I was hoping someone fun would get this note. Full disclosure, I'm the best warlighter that mediocre labs has ever seen (don't listen to anything @mehcus has to say). Also, in the interest of fairness since I can see your starting position in the header image, here's mine!
@Moose so in order to get people to play a game with you you sent notes in fuku's. You must be very lonely ;)
@Moose That's just silly.
Yeah, I didn't think before I posted that. I just had a conversation with a friend about never having completed a game of Risk. Here's hoping I'm at least a challenge.
Also, my coworker is bringing his son on a college visit at Abilene Christian University later this month. I'll have to let him know that his son will be treated fairly by the occupying forces.
Game over!
@novedrake put up a fight, but in the end, I was victorious. I think probably I should have explained how the game worked. Here's an animation of the game:
Like I said, I probably should've explained to @novedrake that the primary tactic is to expand as much as possible as quickly as possible. Oh well!
If there is enough interest, I can make another game with up to 7 other people.
@Moose This looks awesome. Someday, maybe I'll score a fuku and an invite =P
@dis_member You can score a non-fuku invite if you make a warlight account and post your username. I'd be willing to make an 8-person game if people want to join
@Moose Username Dis_member. I don't diversify my usernames as well as I could.
@Moose The little retreating blue square is adorable. and sad. I signed up. lizardisanerd
@Moose I am a Warlight member and can create games with up to 24 people. Let me know if you want to set something up.
@bruceoite @moose There are in fact a number of warlight playing meh followers, who also happen to hang out in an online streaming music room all day. One of us is probably the best ever...
@Moose @bruceoite and myself and a few others have been playing consistently for months now. Always like new people to play with. I'm feeling another Solar System game.
@Moose In fact, 5 of us would like to challenge your 5 best Warlight players in the Meh offices. Throws down gauntlet
@bruceoite Paging @mehcus, @troy, @derek, @matthew, and/or @chadp
@Moose Bring it
@bruceoite
@MEHcus I found you easily on Warlight, but there are about 26 mooses (meeses?) Send me a list of people to include and I can start it up
@bruceoite cettel, Driv300, MEHcus, longhorn, toady, and me
@Moose I see 2 toady's. A level 1 and a level 8
Oh, we know longhorn! If that's the same guy.
@Hamiltwan I believe it is since there is only one longhorn
@Hamiltwan @bruceoite longhorn and I are indeed one and the same.
@derek @Moose @mehcus @troy @matthew @chadp @Hamiltwan @patthetuck
@derek Great, now he can tell them all my tendencies. Primarily making rude comments in public chat, which some would say is my achilles hell...
@Hamiltwan That and enjoying Ben Folds just a bit more then anyone should...
@Raider what? raider? If you're alive, whose skeleton is in my basement with the spiders?
@Hamiltwan I would say my lawyer advised me not to answer this question but. . . So I'll just say HP did it!
@MsELizardBeth Hey...All I had to do was retreat.
@Moose How can I find folks? I'm still a beginner, but would love to join in.
@Moose - My non-fuku WL ID s novedrake. Hopefully I'm more of a challenge next time.
@Raider I did no such thing. But for real if you find that skeleton and leave it at the nearest pay phone I'll come get it.
@patthetuck OK I've located the nearest phone booth......your package will be there in 7-10 days, it takes a long time to walk 247 miles in the snow!
@Raider So its the one on Oak in front of the Circle K?
I was raised in Tarrant County. I used to kill at Risk. But god, that was sooooo long ago. I usually won by making alliances, then breaking them when they were no longer to my advantage. I was good!
@Teripie I still have a proper Risk game with Roman Numerals for armies! Sadly... I lost the wooden set...but I still have the tiny plastic ones ;-)
@unixrab I gave my wooden set to my son. Now they're remaking it in wood.
@Teripie generous!
I would play a game of Missile Command if it took place in Texas. Of course, I might lose.
I wish I could've made my last stand in Bexar County. At least I could draw on the Alamo for a good joke.
@novedrake Yeah they really hate when you do that.
@CoreyK - I know. You'd think after 6 years here, I'd learn.
I'm super obsessed with this game now. I should blame @moose since he issued the initial challenge. Instead poor @Barney gets the blame. Username: lizardisanerd in case anyone wants to kick my butt.
@MsELizardBeth @dis_member @novedrake @festercluck I'm going to start a new game here in a little bit. @festercluck, what is your Warlight name?
If anyone else wants to join, post your Warlight name!
@Moose definitely interested. I'm still learning, so I apologize if you hate me after this game.
@Moose still lizardisanerd
@Moose Odi is my warlight name, been having way too much fun just in single player so far.
@Odi I've had my butt kicked pretty soundly in several rounds
@Moose This looks awesome! In for one - heli0s
@Moose I just realized that there are 3 Odi's, https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=1743263342
@festercluck Last chance, I'm going to start this game this afternoon!
@heli0s Hopefully this sends you an email, wondering if you realize you haven't committed your turn. It says you've been active since the last turn.
@Moose :( I missed it. Add me next time! MrGlass
@Moose If you don't check before the weekend, I'm guessing you would be kicked out of the game again heh
