Oh man, I thought this was going to be about the board game and was actually disappointed that it wasn't.
What does this say about me?

I was too.

Anyone else like RISK 2210? that's pretty much the gold standard.

I thought it was going to be about risk management, and I went numbers 1, 2, and 3 in my pants.

I thought this was going to be about Axis and Allies and that I could come back and look in like 3 hours...

Whatever it says, you're not alone:  add me to the list.

Me too.   Never played Risk 2210 but Lord of the Rings Risk was an interesting variation.

Has this thread been hijacked to revive this thread:

Relatedly, does anyone want to play some games via email?

For example, these sites offers a variety of choices (warning, I've not tried them all, nor do I even know how to play most of these games... just some examples, Diplomacy definitely out there):

BTW, cutout, that sounds like an interesting event.  Please tell us more about it!

I thought maybe I had a chance to get one of you to explain the game to me! I guess I'll continue to play in confusion. :(

It says you've never played Axis and Allies, a better game.

I had the same thought. On behalf of Scrabble, I was a little bit jealous of Risk.

I'm gonna try to go tomorrow night, if anyone's game. I think Michael Ian Black is supposed to be there.

Let me just say that I like "Michael and Michael Have Issues."  I realize that next week is probably the last episode, but their awful behavior makes me laugh every time.

I'll tentatively agree with that, even though people thought I was crazy for liking Stella. I still do, too.

Now, back on topic, can we play some risk online somewhere? Axis and Allies? Having been forced into playing these games many times, I am now suited to lay waste over all of your territories.

Ah, the old Cleveland Steamer gambit. Works every time.

I liked Stella okay; I like MMHI more.
