Risk Day 50 - This. Is. It. This Is The Final Turn And It's Us Or The Buckeyes. The Good Guys Or The Evil Empire. How Will (Risk) History Remember YOUR Contribution?
This is it. After nearly two months of play, College Football Risk is coming to an end tonight at 11 PM ET. Whoever owns the most territories tomorrow morning is the winner. Period.
There is no way to guarantee victory. As you guys know, RNG is a fickle beast. It's not, however, a mystery. Especially if you have a strong understanding of statistics, which our guys do. They know how to maximize the probabilities to give us the best chance at victory, and that is exactly what they will be doing throughout today as you get your orders from MichiganCFBRisk.com.
To be clear, though, it's all of YOU who will determine whether we have a chance. If you guys show up in droves, we will have a good shot at winning. If you guys decide it's not worth 30 seconds of your day (or you simply forget), though, there's a very, very good chance that the Ohio State Buckeyes will take home the victory. They are the only team in the same ballpark as us with player count and power. They are the only other team to break the 5,000 power mark (we're at 8163 and they're at 6288), and they are also the only other team with over 1,000 players.
In other words, the Buckeyes came to fight, and it's up to YOU to make sure they go home empty-handed. Go to MichiganCFBRisk.com one more time, put in your move one more time, ask your friend(s) to do the same one more time, and let's do everything we can to win one for the Maize and Blue.
I also want to say this....it has been an honor writing this recaps for all of you. I've received compliments from so many of you and I can't emphasize enough how much those mean to me. I love writing and I love Michigan, so doing these recaps has been a blast, and I am so happy that I was able to contribute something fun to the fight and (hopefully) put a smile on your faces during these insane times.
With all that said, and in the immortal words of Mitch McGary....Win The Game.

Let's go folks. We can do this thing.
Crazy what happens when you can't pay for territories.
Underrated comment. Needs more thumbs in the upward direction.
Order executed. Lets win this.
Seeing how well coin flips have gone against these guys in the last 15 years, I’m gonna just assume we lose and be pleasantly surprised if it’s something else.
somewhat off topic... but outside of football we aren't particularly snake bitten... and the Poole shot alone probably used up half a decade worth of luck. Throw in Burke deep three against kansas, after they missed a couple free throws, and I feel like we should consider the fact that maybe our teams that deserve good luck make their own good luck?
The block was clean.
JT was short.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
Finally earned my fifth star. Orders executed
same here!
Same here too! Day 100, couldn't have come at a better time (I mean, maybe a month ago, but...)
For anyone not playing, it's incredibly easy to create an account and play. Once you get an account set up, it takes a good 30 seconds to put in your move. I"ve made it part of my morning routine and it's been incredibly painless.
If only we were (mostly) all stuck at home all day...
Your assurances of it being basically idiot-proof finally convinced this old dumbass (and longtime redditor) to do it. You were right, all done in 3 minutes
Orders executed... fuck the Buckeyes
Of course, given the fickle beast that is RNG, any one of Michigan, osu, GT, Wisconsin have a shot at winning. And yeah, I guess I'll give TAMU an outside shot, also.
This is true, but defeating Georgia Tech doesn't quite provide the same oomph of urgency lol.
Im gonna do it, for Frank Costanza.
damn RIP Jerry Stiller
Finally got sick of reading these and not doing anything...i signed up, got an assignment, and am ready to fling myself at ***REDACTED***. This means less than nothing to me, but I respect that it is important to a good number of people on this board, so I hope my contribution helps you guys win. Go Blue!
WE BROKE THROUGH!
On a separate note, please don't post your assignment. All it does is tell our enemies where we're sending troops.
Sir, yes Sir!
Striker:
My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine:
When will you be back?
Striker:
I can't tell you that. It's classified.
I'm in - over four weeks now.
I just got to 5 stars yesterday. Looking forward to winning this thing!
Orders carried out. If only the fight could go on longer!
If we lose, I will blame it on coaching and will probably skip the bowl game.
? This guy? has carried out today's assignment.
Have you?
? This guy? too
I have been questioning our ally Nebraska, and how we have benefitted from that alliance.
I am very interested to see how they show themselves as our allies on this last turn. There are some moves I see that Nebraska needs to make for sure. A half dozen or so territories that they need to pour themselves into.
Me and my newly minted 4 stars (as of yesterday) can't wait to do my part by [][][][][][][][][]REDACTED[][][][][][][][][].
How do i tell if it took my move? I clicked the spot that said move for the day, is that it?
A grayish box should appear around the selected target. That remains through the day. There is also a brief note that your move was successfully made.
Hooray!!! Thank you, orders have been executed.
How will Risk history remember my contribution? As the MVP of the battle for ___, the deciding conflict of the war.
5 Star Rogue here...I’ll be defending Alaska (Chaos)
DON'T LIST ORDERS!! Let's the enemy know what we're doing.
DON'T LIST ORDERS!! Let's the enemy know what we're doing.
Wait, so are we not listing orders, or are we letting the enemy know what we're doing? I'm confused.
Seriously though, does it really count if it's a rogue? Unless rogues are getting their orders through some channel other than Michigancfbrisk.com, I assume they're just making their own decisions about what to attack/defend.
I don’t follow orders, I do my own thing
Submitted my move for the day. Do we know if there's another round coming up in the near future?
Word is that there may be another round/season later in the year if CFB IRL does not happen. Otherwise, you can expect it to take place next year, as usual.
Awesome, thank you!
Just played my three stars. Let's Go Blue.
Sooooo....
This is how we're reconciling all of our losses to them, and for the unforeseeable future?
On the other hand... hey, we're beating Alabama too!!!
(I wish)
Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me?
Orders executed!!
You've done an amazing job with the write-ups and this has been a lot of fun.
I just made 2 star this morning and put in my move.
This 5 star decided to get orders for a change, here's hoping for my first MVP!
Good luck getting an MVP. I have 105 turns total (including today) over both rounds and have exactly 0 MVPs. I hear they're a mythical thing, like successful 5* Michigan running backs.
