Risk Game:
Play Tier: Not really sure. Anybody, but high level teams have a huge advantage.
Parent: Keon
Duration: Very Long
Density: Medium
Number of Ships Needed: 2-4, as organized on a per-match basis
Flexibility: High - teams are allowed to hire "mercs", form treaties and alliances (including having players play for other teams, and scramble loadouts.)
Details: Teams play a standard game of Risk, the turn-based strategy game, on a map based on the GOI world. Clan leaders make decisions via forum post and PM, and the OP is updated with an updating image of the game board. Clans/teams receive reinforcements based on territory controlled, and can be deployed normally, like Risk. The difference comes in attacking/defending. The attacking team and defending team must organize a game of GOI to decide the battle's fate. For example, if Ducks attack Cake, and ducks have 5 ships in Paratius attacking Kian, who is defending with 3 ships, the two will go into a battle. As soon as the ducks get 3 kills, or the cakes get 5 kills, the match is over, and scores reported to the threadmaster. Say the ducks win 3-4. (That's still a win, even though cake killed more ships. Strength of numbers prevails.) That means that they capture the territory, as they killed all three airships above Kian, but they have lost 4 airships, leaving only 1 to occupy Kian. Cake and all the other clans can attack at the same time, etc.

Sorry to interrupt the other discussion, I'd love to see a football-esque league in GOI.

Did someone basically just spell out GoIO P&P? I'll get the map and the sharpies/pencils, along with a D20...
Anyways, sounds pretty interesting.

Reminds me of that.
I've actually had a tab open for several days waiting for me to type a response to that thread. It sounds cool, but we've had such a gluttony of events actually being suggested/developed in various areas (none of which were happening in this thread. Heh) that I figured I should wait to revive your thread.

That said, the ideas are similar, but purely basing it off of Risk is personally a lot easier to understand and follow.

I would put it as competitive. I'll get the OP updated shortly with this and an extra tag out to you and your version Thomas.

Well my version isn't that great, and would need a lot of work. Currently it's too complicated/demanding for teams.

Updated. Blame Shink for being the awesome mod who updates all my posts.

This Risk would be a lot of fun to play. It would actually probably actually straddle the line between competitive and relaxed now that I think more on it. It is more about the clans having fun than providing entertainment for others. I can already imagine the intense debates on teamspeak servers everywhere. The alliances formed in the middle of the night. The backstabbings. There is much fun to be had here.
