OT - Reddit CFB Risk Update 6/29: Gaining Ground (5 days left)

Last night was a very neutral night for us as far as RNG was concerned.  The final odds had us expected to hold 24.4 territories at the end of the night and we ended up with 24.  RNG aside, it was a very solid night for us as we gained 4 territories and widened the gap between us and Nebraska.

Michigan (24) is still in second place behind Florida (35) with Nebraska (14) making a final push to win. We urge you all to please remain active in this final week. This is the last week you have to make votes and to push towards a victory here.  Participation is crucial if we are to end the final week on an upswing.

Announcement: Please don’t post your orders anywhere (mgoblog included). Other teams visit this blog in hopes of seeing what we will be doing, and it would be much better it if they were left in the dark. If you have a question about an assignment, try to ask it in general terms, instead of naming specific territories.

 

Steps To Play Every Day:

1. Sign up for a reddit.com account if you don’t have one already
2. Visit https://flair.redditcfb.com/ " go to “find by conference," click “FBS” then “Big 10” and finally “Michigan” to set yourself as a member of our team. Click “Update Flair” to set it.
3. Visit https://michigancfbrisk.com/ and click “Get Order!”
4. Click the blue chessboard beneath the logo that you’re meant to attack/defend to take you to the game.
5. Scroll down, now, and on the right hand side of the screen, you will see the options that you can attack or defend. Click the school logo that you were assigned to.

Do not ever attack any territory that is owned by one of our allies unless specifically told to do so in your orders. Our allies are Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech, and Texas. If you get an order to attack an ally owned territory then it means we are coordinating with them, so it is acceptable. Otherwise, do not attack allied territories or defend territories that allies border please!

 

Make sure you aren't flagged as a bot

One potential issue with the influx of new users we had is that some players may have been flagged as a bot and therefore their actions may not be counting. If you are flagged as a bot you will see the image below on vote.redditcfb.com
