Now THAT's More Like It! The MGoBlog Army Is Waking Up And It's Paying Off! - Risk Day 7

Submitted by Michigan CFB R… on March 29th, 2020 at 11:33 AM

The MGoBlog Army showed up last night! Thanks to your efforts, we were able to capture 13 territories and now have the second most players. But we can't stop there! As the game continues, individual players will become more powerful, and the teams with the most committed players will dominate. So let's keep the momentum going! Otherwise, Ohio State might win (they currently have by far the most territories...and could you really look at yourself in the mirror knowing that you could've helped stop Ohio State...and didn't? I didn't think so.

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.

As a sign of good faith for the non-aggression pact with Wisconsin, I demand they trade us the Upper Peninsula, and in exchange, they can have that part of Iowa we own.  Win-win...

So close to eliminating Notre Dame and Penn State from the game, rooting for that.

Surprised by the poor performance by Florida so far, weren't they successful last time?

Just recruited my best friend's wife, she's getting her PhD in education from UofM (Flint).  She is sending out a daily reminder to all her dissertation colleagues to join.

So there was a minor glitch during the one time I remembered to play the other day, on break at work, and my assignment kept showing up as a broken image link. I defaulted to beating Ohio. Looks like it paid off. Generally, I aim to following orders from my Risk superiors, however. Do your part, save America from the red menace, beat ohio, salute everything that moves, paint everything that doesn't Maize and Blue.
