this is cute. I remember my history teacher getting into this game with some classmates. I never played... I'm about peace and love dude! (I sucked)
Author's Response: Thank you for the review. Dwight is not about the peace or love, which is why he excels at RISK.

It's nice to see that Kevin has his priorities straight.
Author's Response: So true. Kevin isn't so much about global domination as he is about hot women....and then giggling about them until he's red in the face. Thank you for the review!

Nice job! You write the Jim/Dwight banter very realistically. I can totally imagine this happening on the show.
Author's Response: Thank you very much, that was really my goal with the banter. I know that the way in which I write it is slightly different then most other fanfics, with the pauses and "like", "you know" and "ums". Not to say that such things aren't in other stories, but most aren't as common, I think. Thank you for your review, I appreciate it!

Alright, this may make me sound like a nerd but here it goes. The start of a game of risk starts with the dealing of the country cards, there is no country selection. Also, I'd like to see if you could incorportate the Pam/Jim/Karen story into this since you have hinted at it briefly and I think it would be awesome.
Keep going, this is awesome.
Author's Response: You are, of course, quite correct about the country cards. Most people use them to determine the positions on the board. I originally wrote a part where Dwight provided a running commentary on the historical and strategic importance of the various territories as the cards were passed out. But....I decided to recycle that for the actual gameplay, and re-wrote it to where they each explain their choice. Also, Pam/Jim/Karen is coming! There is a reason that the two women are not in the office, and they'll have to return soon. What will they're reactions be to the game? Hmmmm.....Either way, thanks for the review and your support!
