Lets Get to 1,500!

Submitted by Hill.FootballR… on April 29th, 2020 at 3:44 PM

I've been reading this blog since high school, created an account after college, and rarely post here. I played on the hockey team way back when and something I always took great pride in was Michigan's excellent fan base. One of my parents was an alum, so going to Yost or the Big House as a kid is why I always wanted to wear the winged helmet. I rarely get into board games and never played video games, as I always preferred playing sports and being outside. However, Covid-19 has cancelled all of my rec league sporting events and I just recently got into College Football Risk. With that said, something we should all take pride in is how much money Michigan alumni donates to worthy causes, our attendance at every Michigan football game, and how loud Yost can be (need to make Crisler Center louder while I'm at it)...and this Risk game is a chance to show people everywhere just how powerful, supportive, and crazy Michigan fans are about our university and athletics!

We have been stuck around 1,200 players for a week now, and we need to get to 1,500 people today! That means everyone reading this needs to sign up and play! It is crazy easy to play, fun to get your family and friends involved, and everyone I'm quarantined with has really enjoyed looking at the new map every day.

So sign up, and get your roommates, parents, children, co-workers, or old college buddies to sign up - you can even start a fun group chat about what moves you're all making like a group from my graduating hockey team has.

Everyone who has time to read this has 30 seconds a day to help us beat Ohio State, kick Wisconsin out of Michigan, teach GT that we are the best public university in the US, and remind TAMU that they are just like little brother. There are only 13 days left! So I'm asking for ~10 minutes of your time over the next 2 weeks.

Steps To Play Every Day With Hyperlinks:

If you have any questions, just let me know and I'll reply here.

Reply in the comments if you are joining, so we can start a thread with people saying they are in. We get hundreds of replies to "guess the score, win a t-shirt" on this site, so let's get a few hundred new players.

I just signed up within the last half-hour, got my instructions, and executed them with cruelty.

Is that it for me for the day? Is midnight the deadline each day, or should I check in the morning for my next assignment?

you're done for the day.  from what they've said in these threads the risk-board does its mumbo-jumbo-random-number-generation at 11:00 p.m EST.  and any time after that the new map will be available and you can do your move again.  for instance,  i checked the most recent map and we lost 5 territories and meanwhile G-tech picked up a few.  so instead of being up by double digits, we're in the lead by 7.  

hopefully somebody that knows will verify if i'm right or correct what i've said here.
