CFB Risk Day 6 - Recruits Needed! The Badger/Wolverine Duo Took a Bite Out of Nebraska (Despite TERRIBLE RNG), But TAM and OSU Loom

There's no way around it....last night was rough. We lost territories where we had 93%, 90%, and 69% (nice) odds of winning. Northwestern was especially cruel, as two lowly (redundant) 1-star Buckeyes took the territory with just a 5% chance. (next paragraph)

But it wasn't all bad! Our new Badger Buddies took the Wyoming territory from Nebraska, putting the Cornhuskers in a VERY precarious position. And despite our bad RNG, we managed to take Kansas, giving us access to more Cornhusker territory. (next paragraph)

At the end of the day, though, none of this will matter if we can't get more recruits. Last year we had an army of Go Blue faithful helping us wreck the then Red Alliance and putting us in position to win the whole damn thing in the last round. This year? Texas A&M is quickly growing into a monster and Ohio State(!) has almost 10% more power than us. If we don't get more MGoBloggers to sign up (and ASAP), we will in serious trouble in just a few rounds. So please, take just a few seconds to sign up, put in your turn, and know that you've made a worthy contribution to the cause of beating Ohio State in the latest competition.

We have a non-aggression pact with Wisconsin. It’s very important that if you are playing do not attack Wisconsin owned territories, including the ones in Michigan. If you receive an order to attack a Wisconsin owned territory then it is because we have communicated with Wisconsin on that territory. If you have any questions about an order, then please DM us privately on reddit or discord.

 

 

How Does the Game Work?

On turn 1, each team starts with their home territory. It is up to each team to recruit players and coordinate moves. You can choose to defend any territory that your team currently holds or attack any adjacent territory. A "roll" happens each evening at 11 PM EST to calculate which teams have won which territories that turn based on the moves that were made by individual players. The ultimate goal is to conquer as much of the map as possible for your team. There are a number of different ways to do this, such as through recruiting players in sheer numbers or forming alliances with other teams.
