To begin, I did not invent Forum Risk.

So who invented it?
The man who invented Forum Risk was a person on the Minecraft forums, ottoguy2. I wish to apologize to him because I never gave him credit for inventing Forum Risk in my Forum Risk of Northwest Europe. When Forum Risk was becoming widespread on the Minecraft forums, I found Forum Risk, and told myself, "Hey, this looks fun, why not put it on BuildandShoot?" So Forum Risk: Northwest Europe was born here. Eventually, when Northwest Europe was dying, Venator sent me a PM asking if he could make his own. I told him "Sure," and Venator's Forum Risk V2 was born. Northwest Europe ended in a forced peace treaty between UK & Denmark-Norway, and Spanish Netherlands annexed into the UK. V2 ended when the German Reich, Scotland, and New Russia fused their empires. Currently, V3 is being hosted by Venator, and V4, a collaboration between me & Venator is in the works.

forum risk is such a good idea that I'm supposed it haven't happened earlier.
Anyway, here is link to "The very first forum risk ever" without the annoying yellow highlighted text: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/159 ... game-over/

Bullshit - forum risk has existed for years. You may have taken your version from there, but that wasn't the first ever one.

Yeah, the dude credited 4chan for the idea in the "first" one ever. So nice try, but no.

It's just like saying 'who was the first person to invent 'lol'?'

It's impossible to track, it just goes further and further down the line of internet history...

Actually, there's a lot of information out there on the source of "lol".

Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Forum risk was invented on either /b/, or /tg/.

Wouldn't that be hard to organize seeing as they are all anonymous?

You will be surprised by what disgusting, yet organised, things are going on on 4chan every day...

No but, anyone could claim that they were, say, color yellow. It would just be a big mess.
The other organized stuff doesn't require them to identify themselves.
