Risk championship online

Hello folks, I don't know if this idea was mentioned before here, but I was thinking of making a worldwide online risk championship. [b]The Idea[/b] 1.Count how many thrived risk websites, and try to limit it to maximum 8 websites. 2. Based on the number of websites (let's say 5 websites for example), we contact each website's admins and ask them to choose the finest 5 players that would represent them (and make sure the players are interested). 3. On each website, we set 5 different games, each game has one representative of each site. 4. The games will be played on each site respectively (for examplr the first 5 games will be on D12 with no other tournament games on other websites) once we finish the 5 games on D12 we move to play under other hosts website. 5. Games will be played under each website's rules. 6. Game type and features will be decided from the each website host . 7. The winner gains 5 points for his team as a whole (example: a D12 player won a game, D12 gains 5 points from overall) * that's the basic idea and i need your input guys. For me to choose the main 3 to represent D12 are Slackbatter, Henris and maafi if there is a room for more i would include myself (as the idea provider hehe) and alphax, of course we can all vote for any players if we like the idea and woukd like to be part of it. And after hearing your input and what might go wrong and how to improve it, i might need someone to help me reaching out to other websites and contact them (native English speaker preferably) to cover for my English mistakes, hehe.

Sounds pretty legit!! I would also vote myself to compete depending on if more dominant death match of capitals?? Even if it’s both I’ve played tons of both and 1v1s!

I wouldn't think it is voting based and instead challenged based. So either look at existing stats for a specific configuration or do a tournament to decide who represents... But it could be interesting.

Ya tournament among those who would like to play in it would be cool could do a caps/1v1/death match so it all for pts best all round players compete for d12

I don't mind any mechanism, but would we first approach other websites to know if they are interested? And would also like to hear more thoughts and if anybody knows the names of other risk sites.

I think it’s a really good idea I would do it the following way.. [spoiler] The most important risk parameters are for me: -deathmatch/capital -increasing/capped -non fog/fog The number of people per game would depend on the number of websites who would join the competition, probably 4/5 really active which is a good risk number of players (2 = dice luck, 3 = drawish, > 5 = cards luck). We could add maps but there are so many that I think the World Classic should be the only one for the first edition not to be too complex. Which would lead to 8 games: -deathmatch, increasing, non fog -deathmatch, increasing, fog -deathmatch, capped, non fog -deathmatch, capped, fog -capital, increasing, non fog -capital, increasing, fog -capital, capped, non fog -capital, capped, fog Each website chooses one player per game (a player can play more than one). D12 picks its players based on stats and in case of dilemna the TOP D12 votes. 1 point for the winner, 0 for loosers, draws are replayed. Website with more points at the end wins. [/spoiler] what do you think?

[/spoiler] what do you think? [/quote] Very interesting insight, but that if they agreed to play on our site and our rules and maps, but the idea is (who is the king of online risk on every platform) What do you think Anax, do you think it's doable? For me again, I don't mind anyway of choosing the players, my suggestion for the main 3 above, was based on past experience, and during they years they were the most consistent.. But again i dont mind any players from D12 would be great, we have a bunch of good smart players.

Cool idea. If this is a 1 v. 1 tournament I think I deserve strong consideration. If not, I’m not in the conversation. Unless it’s pairs, then doughboy and I are the odds-on favourites...

Youre going about choosing the wrong way. Even ive been dominator lol. Playing games to decide still comes down to luck. What you need is a series of "what if" scenarios and get people to respond with how they would handle it. I would agree with the 3 mentioned in the first post and would get them to come up with those scenarios and choose the best responses to be the ones to represent the site

What do you do? And how will you deal with bad dice? How do you 'recover' in such a way that you do not 'throw' the game. Maybe see it as an outline for a film? :D Script what you expect, maybe even include some ideas on how the other players will play their turn and how that'll fit with your plan along with some contingencies and the dealing with those. I know there are several Dutch newspapers in which you see a chess or checkers board and they'll just tell you 'you are white, it is your move - WIN (or, do not lose, or..... etc). At least, that's what I figured from his response. Concept sounds good =) As for contacting..... maybe have a chat with [user]Thingyman[/user] - surely you've seen his mafia setup for such a plan too: https://dominating12.com/forums/5/off-topic/3137/mafia-championships - he might know some sites and the right things to say to get people enthusiastic^^ If/When [user]TP_knighty[/user] shows up again.... (been 2.5 weeks since we last saw him...), he's also a person to talk to - he's playing risk on multiple sites..... i don't remember all of them, but he may have already mentioned 5 to me xD -Alex

I think it's doable. Someone just have to go create an account on each website and ask. https://www.playonlinerisk.com/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/where-to-play-risk-online/ Then about our players, personally i never played with maafi and slackbatter (except the D12 game) but i played a few with Henris_1 some time ago and yeah the guy is really good. But to be honest, I mostly play fog, capped deathmatchs (where i'm the king ;) ) so my judgment is not really objective on any increasing game.

Slackbatter is invincible in DM any types, i think it's obvious from his rank in the last 4 years. I don't mind me being just the moderator for such tournament, I just want D12 to dominate the dominators accross the glob. But again (you, Alex, alpha, Albert Einstein, Jonathan.... Are all good players) so I don't mind any, btw slack henris and maafi might not be interested anyway. But now the next step is to gather information about the other risk sites, then make accounts and contact the moderators there... I might need some help in writing a good proposal. Can anyone help?

This is a cool idea! I think a general consensus can be reached on who we should have as our champions. For example, I think everyone agrees on Slackbatter, maafi and henris... Before you send the invites Jimi, I think we should get the go-ahead from the evil green witch herself - @[url=https://dominating12.com/user/1003]Fendi[/url] - seeing as you (or whoever writes the message) will be representing DXII on other sites.
