OT - Reddit CFB Risk Update 6/16: Welcome Home So yesterday we had a great night in the Midwest, and an alright night in New England. We took back all of Michigan, but lost some territories to a lucky Wisco in NE. We still hold Ohio State, but it’s now open to attack. We’ve taken some more Southern and Western territories, so we have a few different fronts to deal with.
Thereal benefit to tonight was that we are now #1 on the leaderboard! Of the top four spots, three belong to our alliance, and #1 is Michigan’s! If we can continue to build on that, we’ll be unstoppable by July 4th! I know we said it yesterday, but this is a critical night. We have a lot of fronts we have to deal with so we need as much participation as possible to to shore everything up. Right now we have 21 territories, and a few of them we’ve allowed Clemson to hold to help keep them safe for the night. We’re in a good spot, but we’ll need your support to help clean up our lines a little.
Forthe alliance as a whole, we’ve suffered some setbacks against Ohio and Wisco, but it’s nothing we can’t handle. If we can push red back, we can win this thing. The winner of our MgoContest (one random MVP who followed their website orders is selected to receive Mgoblog points) tonight was: AJs_Sandshrew

Sorry everyone. Mods who have enough mgopoints to post these haven't been on yet today. We're trying to fill in but having trouble with formatting.
Hey now, some of us mods are occasionally having trouble posting at all lately.
I did get rid of the redundant posts though - I would have thought double and triple posting would be virtually impossible in the new setup, but alas...
I protected Ohio State as ordered. it was hard but I did it...
May God bless your soul for that bit of dirty work. Now hit the shower!!! And use soap, for crissakes...
I keep getting orders to attack Notre Dame - this doesn't seem to make any sense since they have been eliminated. What should i do?
It just means attack the original Notre Dame territory, there should be an option for it.
So I signed up to play, because I have little life, but it won't let me play! I was told to attack Ohio, but there is no Ohio logo option in the defend or attack lists. What to do?
Follow the steps in the post to be able to play. You have to set the flair on your Reddit ID, etc.
I had done all everything stated to do. But I didn't click 'Update Flair'... D'oh!!! Thanks for smacking me upside the head and making me go back and sort it out!
Can’t believe it, but his Risk thing finally got me to join as a member....have been an avid mgoblog follower for the past maybe 5yrs!
Reddit Risk question. I’ve been playing since day 43 (6 rounds), but my status is showing ZERO rounds played. Have been following orders and my moves show up when I click the ‘0 turns played’ hyperlink!! Reddit username: koochtx. What’s up?
You need to click the "Update Rating" button twice. If that doesn't work, try clearing your cache
Me too. It says I haven't played any terms. Clicked update twice and cleared my cache clipped update twice again still nothing but my turns do show up in my list of History
