blind chance?

it was durin pri 4 i rmb when i tried playing risk. i was a newbie and wasnt sure wad to do when it was my turn to divide my troops evenly across the map. so i placed all my troops on the last continent at the edge of the board. i tink it was africa. thr was only one exit/entrance so defending was rather easy. 45 mins into the game and i crushed all my opponents. taking over their territories. haha. all my friends didnt believe it was my first attempt at the game. was it a stroke of genius or just purely beginner's luck? anw how do u define the latter?

well i guess beginner's luck isnt really luck. ppl define it as the course of bringing a fresh perspective to a skill/situation, and taking the risk that you will fail. In doing so, doin' better than you ever thought you'd. haha. since its yr first attempt, therefore u have no fear. ure not scared abt breaking the rules cuz u are nt even clear abt them. u aint understand the consequences, the limitations of wad ure abt to do. so most of the time, you will do well the first time you try something.

my friends wasnt happy abt their defeat and wanted a rematch. haha. so, i decided to adopt a new strat totally. i rearranged my troops all over the map. and tried to take over the largest continent first - Asia. of cuz i had nt enuff trops to defend my territory. and i was the first out. well. beginners luck doesn't need to just happen on its own. i mean you can induce it by firstly mentally placing yourself in the beginner's mindset. Purge your mind of what you know you're about to do before you do it. thus taking a risk that you might not be willing to take before because you knew you'd fail. You might succeed, not knowing that you could fail. heh.

So next time, tink like a noob. just dun act like like one.
