All You Need is a Good Friend - Risk Meta! 

At some point in the earlier episodes a viewer made the suggestion that I do it so that it looks like I'm looking at the game rather that away

@@FreePete that makes sense. I figured it had to do with stream layout. I'm now curious if there's any science to why being in bottom left looking up/right is meta

Nobody keep me off my corna

The collective unconscious was Carl Jung I think

@@FreePete your right 👍 it's been a few years since I studied that

Let's goooo

Let's go!

We hope there's a lesson in here somewhere

Haha it was a team effort

on capitals gamemode you want to keep troops on the caps because they give you a plus 2 and defend with 3 dice rather than 2, he left his cap completely open to being taken on turn 1 and if someone took it he would've lost instantly

that, also to reduce your chances of getting killed you would want to stack on your capital. if you stack there you can get card blocked easily in a 1v1, if you leave nothing on capital you are both very vulnerable to someone cap running and your troops are at a disadvantage because of the lack of defensive potential from the cap

@@OfficialTaxiMaxi So it wasn't really the cap spawn like I thought it was cause he was too aggressive in taking the bonux? Fair enough I didn't really check for that

Taking an interior capital, while not a corner, still doesn't help you much in guarding the bonus he was trying to take. Then he proceeded to take too long to win the bonus meaning he was both weaker than me and he didn't have troops on his cap when I eventually came to take it

What we are in control of is what we do about our thoughts

@FreePete Well since you engaged with me on the topic I'll clarify my meaning a bit. I work on the assumption of limited but existing capability for free will. So I think of thoughts as being like water in a sense, you can't manipulate it at will so it would flow uphill, and you can't just dig a channel and expect it to stick to it. Similarly, thoughts follow our perception of the world, and our perceptions seem to be based on value judgements within the environment where we live. Therefore, if one wants to change their thoughts, then by sorting out what they think is important or changing their environment, when the relevant change is made then the thoughts will likewise shift. I would call it management because one cannot make direct changes, but it does seem that indirect changes have clear effects. Of course, what you said is not wrong either. Does that make sense?

Right, totally. I am a determinist so that makes sense. @@theinacircleoftheancientpu492

Capitals are supposed to defend very well

Not indentifying with your thoughts is a base principle in meditative traditions
