Won at RISK

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

This one was kinda crazy. I turned in cards, and that allowed me to eliminate because he happened to be weak at the time. That gave me his cards, which let me turn in cards again and take out Nick on my next turn. That gave me a set again, which I had to use to save Nick R in his last territory. Like two turns later I'm able to turn in cards yet again and eliminate Jeff (hope this means we can still be roommates) and that gave me 6 cards, two complete sets. I turned both of those in for a whopping 59 armies which lets me eliminate Sean and all but one territory of Gabe. If the game had gone on, I would have turned in cards again thanks to Sean's 3 and that plus my territories would have been I think like 46 armies. I could have taken over the rest of queens AND Brooklyn with that.

Team A played a good game. Jacob and Sean were thorns in our sides and our top priorities early on. I'll admit that it was largely to crazy luck with the cards and dice that let us win. There was also constant communication between all three of us. I had heard from MK that a few days into it he had sent the first e-mail to his teammates. At the time I heard that I had already deleted a 35 message conversation between my teammates. I have about 30 more sitting in my inbox still.

Can't wait for the next game. I like this New York map.
