CFB Risk Week 2 Recap - I'm Back....and I'm Annoyed

I'm very annoyed right now. Before we get into why, though, I want to extend a HUGE thank you to this community for wishing me well during my recovery. I'm not at 100% quite yet, but I'm getting there.

Also, huge props to crg for the recent recaps. Going forward, we'll be the voices (plural) of CFB Risk, posting under his name. Today, though, you get me.

Now....*narrows eyes*.....

When I left a week ago, we had a B1G Alliance, we were rapidly gaining players, and we were prepared to paint the south Maize yellow. There was a clear path to victory on behalf of the B1G even as Texas A&M rapidly expanded its footprint.

.....and then it kind of fell apart. On the Day 9 recap, SinCityWolverine commented that an alliance with OSU would not work. Unfortunately, he was right. And then he became even more right when Wisconsin publicly declared war on us. Meanwhile, Texas A&M is building a Death Star AGAIN and everyone's attitude seems to be "um.....fuck michigan. lol" 

Like I said, I'm annoyed.

So what do I do when I'm annoyed? Control the controllables. We have by far the most players in the game, but I KNOW that we can get more. A couple iterations ago, we were peaking at 1k. So when we're tapering off at around 800, that signals to me that we have room to grow.

Yes, OSU (the next biggest force) only has ~500, but I don't care about OSU. We are the fanbase that wins the EDSBS Charity Bowl without fail. We are the fanbase that dominates at everything we put our minds to. CFB Risk should be ours. We are Michigan and we win.

So what does that mean for you? First, please sign up. The steps are below. It takes a bit of time to get started, but it's like 3 clicks a day once you're in. 

Second, join the damn Discord. Half of our force is acting randomly every night, and it's gonna be really hard to win if we aren't on the same page.

Finally, recruit your Michigan friends. It's not a hard pitch. Just say "we're playing this silly game of Risk and we need help to destroy OSU and win." That usually does the trick. We know there are a lot of Michigan fans who are willing to click a few buttons to try to beat OSU. Let's get more of them on here.

And so, with all that said, I'm glad to be back. Now let's win this f*cking thing and GO BLUE!
