Wait, What? SEVEN Capitals??? Risk Meta Settings

Ok so
1. caps were picked by all players at the start as normal
2. Orange, Pete, black, and white take their first turn (white takes greens cap)
3. Game reverts to cap choice upon the start of blues turn, which skips blue and greens turn and does something on oranges turn: Orange, for whatever reason either intentionally selected by orange or automatically selected like a bot, chooses the terrible 7th cap located in russia. I'm assuming the latter is true with how fast it happened, so orange may have been a bot as soon as it skipped blue and greens turn.
4. Pete, black, and white take their second turn but the game still states that it is round 1.
5. Blue receives 7 troops because of turn order on what the game believes is the first turn. Green also receives bonus troops but is missing a cap, otherwise he would have received 8 instead of 6. Green has botted.
6. Orange is now for sure a bot for seemingly no reason, but likely as a result of the game shenanigans.

I'm unsure who did it, but it seems like white would have gotten the most benefit out of skipping greens turn. Black benefited with an extra capital after hitting the orange russia cap that magically appeared. Pete benefited by being Pete among mere mortals (and bots)

Hey Pete, just want to remind you I double redeemed for pushups about a month ago. I haven’t forgotten that you didn’t do them. I’m still waiting to pump them out together

So Pete did you find a vcr to watch the tape ?

black here , good to know there was 7 caps , poor white !! , nice to get a game with you pete

Couldn't blue have just spawned in with the Iceland bonus? I have before.

This is the second time I've seen a game with 7 Capitals. It must be a glitch in the code.

“I have a feeling everyone this game is going to be dying” honestly best quote I’ve heard and can’t stop laughing at it

plot twist, the peteman is the hacker. giving yourself double joker? thinking we wouldnt notice :P

Wow those blizzards are wild!!

Definitely weird 7 caps? That's pretty crazy had to be a Hack for sure.

😮❤😮

I was trying to guess where you’d place your cap at the start of the video and I told myself neighbor-capping orange would be funny right before you actually did it

What was this game man

I actually lost a caps game like this. A man took all other captials, mine was still strong and I ended up losing. I was pissed and reported that guy for hackering.

My theory: The 6 main caps are France (blue), London (White), Scotland (Green), Greece (Orange), Sevastopol cap guard (Black), and you.

The 7th cap started out as an Orange 2 in Russia, but because of the fog we don't know how it got placed down. It only shows up when you go into Russia, and black has it.

Interesting enough, the first round skips blue's turn during the draft phase, and skips green and orange as well. Thus on round 2 you are now the first player in the turn order. Also the round counter is broken the first round.

So either Black is hacking (benefitted from the turn skips, put down a second capital in Russia) or when Orange botted (sometime between getting their first card, and round 2, possibly when they got skipped over) the bot put a 7th cap down in Russia, that black later took.

Either way, really weird game. Maybe try and talk with SMG about it and see what they figure out?

Me and devchilly created a hack that allows for ppl to add capitals out of thin air, but that's interesting because it still makes you capture ALL capitals before winning when it's hacked, so this must have been some sort of glitch.

Some very strange things have happened to me in the past, which led me to research this game.

And oh boy, what I found was both frustrating, pathetic, and downright funny. Folks, it’s possible to hack this game using Cheat Engine—yes, *CHEAT ENGINE*, I’m not kidding. In case you don’t know, Cheat Engine is the most basic cheat tool out there, typically used to modify data in single-player games.

So, what can these so-called 'hackers' do? (Calling them hackers is embarrassing.) They can deploy more troops, add troops without placing them, delete their own or others' troops, drop a cap in the middle of the game, summon blizzards whenever they want, and even change their cards—including generating a third joker that doesn’t even exist. They can add cards, change someone else’s cards (seriously, lol), and most importantly, they can see through the fog.

I believe that with enough effort, someone could even create a hack that allows them to kick players or end games prematurely.

The constant collab, AFKs, and hacking became so frustrating that I quit playing months ago. Now I only play on mobile and very rarely. I recommend this to anyone who's not a content creator. (Good luck, Pete! 🤣)

If these hackers execute their cheats perfectly, there’s no way to detect them. Only SMG could catch them, and honestly, I don’t want to talk about that.

They can get sets of three back-to-back, add troops when nobody sees them, and see through fog. That’s why I never played fog mode, even when I was grinding the game 24/7.

Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure; they might have fixed some of this in the past (no way).

The flaws of this game... no matter how much we talk about them, they never seem to end.

Boycott is necessary.

I strongly doubt that this is hacking. Game was definitly glitched.

This game is why a full game replay would be incredibly useful

Ha! That was insane

I did africa advanced where a player started with two bonuses

I have had alot of games where i have finished with world dom and the game just keeps going, with me just adding troops and fortifying

I love how the two rules - don't cap in corners and don't cap in Iceland - are basically the same. But also Portugal and Netherlands are rarely good caps

The round counter didn't turn to 2 till the start of round 3

A 7th caps happened in one of my games before but I don't know why they did it because it didn't have any effect on their position, they neighbour capped themselves in the top of North America and I still win the game, was a weird one ha

One territory somehow turned into a cap mid game - the one in Russia.

Can you explain how placement works when all the caps are captured and there’s multiple teams still left

Pete, where did you get that shirt?? I want one

S-s-s-s-Spoiler Breakerrrrr 👍

Oh and it was the alien technician on shift running the simulation who F'd up.
Imo

Prob got fired for that one tbh. Haha

"Orange sets. That's annoying." Annoying orange 🟠

I found a glitch a while ago that one turn placing troops the territory turned into a cap

In the middle of blue's turn it jumped back up while still saying round one even though you were starting your second turn.

I assume blue took territory but didnt get a card because of that.

It's a glitch in the matrix

Kylted has to see this video.

Risk mixed with Clue

Hack, same thing happened to c money on one of the arrakis maps. Apparently, even though theres 7 caps you only need 6 to win the game, lol! Pleased that you beat whoever was the cheat!

1. Everyone placed their caps as usual.
2. Orange, Pete, Black and White take their first turns.
3. During the draft phase of blues first turn, a glitch or hack occurs, skipping blues turn and also greens and oranges. It would appear the glitch or hack added a 2nd orange cap on the 2 in russia. This caused the game to start turn 1 again, moving to the next player, which was Pete.
4. When we reach blue, they get 7 troops, not because they have 2 caps, but because the game thinks it is their 1st turn.
5. The game continues from this point, but blue and green bot - rightfully so, because they missed a turn and a card.

If it is a hack, it is most likely orange, placing a 2nd cap during blues first turn. However, the fact that they themselves botted, combined with the fact that the 2nd cap in russia is just a pointless place to put a 2nd cap would lead me to give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was a glitch and the computer placed the 2nd cap automatically (something triggered an ’orange timeout whilst placing a cap’ event).

Orange bot stacking cap then hitting Pete’s was wild, I often wondered if it’s possible to display “I’m offline” moniker whilst still being in control, this makes me think it might be.

My good sir. This video was Truly Random

I cringe so hard when people don't put troops on their capitals...

Most sus game I've ever seen xD gj Pete

You can see the same thing happen in one of @C-Money 's recent games, it was on the small, symmetrical Dune map if you want to look it up. One of the players just spawns in a new capital, but the game only needs you to take as many caps as the game started with. Looks like your game had other stuff happen in it too, who knows if it was intended by the hacker or just because of him.

There is definitely a weird issue with meta settings, so fogs on, and alliances played a game 2 days ago that because I had alliances with players before the first full turn I could see almost the entire board.

Really strangely manipulated game! Fun to watch but I hope it doesn’t become a thing 😅 btw as for the bot suiciding into your capital, didn’t you really see it coming? I thought they always smash some place if they don’t have where else to go and accumulated “enough” troops 😉

Also in round 1 after blues turn, he did take a territory but it did not give him a card and immediately gave you, black and white another turn before resuming to green.

Hey pete, remember when you were trying to figure out how blue started with 7 on the first route when he skipped? I think it's because he had double capitals starting off. He had the 7th cap.
