Risk Day 15 - RNG Is A Real Butthole At Times. Take 2.

So you know how we were going to take the fight to TAM and go ham on Sparty South? Well, apparently somebody forgot to tell RNG about our plan. Based on probabilities, we were expected to end the turn with 13.7 territories, which may have included gaining a foothold in Texas. Instead, we ended the night with just 9(!) territories and were kicked out of New Mexico.

Our losses included 5 territories where we were favored, and our wins included just a single territory where we were underdogs (Indiana). Fortunately, thanks to you guys, we continue to amass power at a rate that our rivals can't touch, which means that we should be able to bounce back fairly quickly. What exactly will that bounce back look like? I'm not sure, but behind the scenes our CFBRisk mods are constantly strategizing and negotiating with other teams.

Seriously, they're putting in WORK (they just created a dedicated Twitter account for the effort @cfb_risk, which is absurd, hilarious, and awesome...and shows just how much we need sports back).So, as long as you guys keep going to MichiganCFBRisk.com (and now @cfb_risk) every day -- and recruiting your competition-starved Michigan buddies -- there's little doubt that there will be A LOT more yellow on the map in short order. Thank you again for your continued participation (seriously, it has been IMPRESSIVE), and Go Blue!

 

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.
