OT - Reddit CFB Risk Update 6/20: First Place
Today we are in the first place! We have 30 territories, Florida has 29, Georgia Tech has 13, and Nebraska is all the way down to 10 territories.
We still have quite a bit to clean up on the map though. The northeast is a bit of a mess right now and looks to get messier. Wisconsin lost all of their territories in the west and will now be concentrated quite a bit in the northeast. If we get some good luck they could be eliminated shortly. Meanwhile out west, Florida has taken over the majority of control over Nebraska and is one turn away from taking over Alaska which is pretty incredible considering the fact that they were trapped in Florida very recently. Our alliance has made some incredible progress over the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully you guys have enjoyed watching the daily updates as much as we've enjoyed providing them! We are down to the final 14 turns of the game, so please continue to participate and if you haven't joined yet, then now is the perfect time.

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!

Daily Map
Down with the Red Alliance!
Would be nice to knock out VT and Wisconsin in these next couple turns.
And Team Chaos, too.
It would be interesting to see a comparison of team chaos and actual cancer.
Upvoted just for your user id and avi
So excited! When I started playing, it was only in my imagination winning this thing was something that would be directly in front of us and very plausible.
Thank you guys for leading the troops so well, and as for everyone else: keep getting stars and most importantly, KEEP DOING YOUR TURN EACH DAY!
Go Blue.
Alliance map:
Good stuff. I've been pretty silent, but playing every day. Glad to be doing my part to defeat the evil empire.
Who will betray who first, between us and Florida? You know closer to that end date people will start going rogue.
No real reason for that to happen. Unlikely that any of the stronger red teams will be eliminated, so our goal should be to keep them as marginalized as possible. Team effort, team win.
I don't think that's going to happen.
I want Michigan to win, but if Florida pulls this off-- they deserve it. I honestly thought they were going to be eliminated.
Stat of the day
Ranking of safe territories no one can attack this round:
Michigan: 9
Florida: 4
Nebraska: 0
GT: 0
Osu and Wisky are both isolated in the NE. Hopefully our alliance can keep them trapped and slowly push them east and eventually eliminate them.
I upvoted you in hopes that I'm the one to put you over 10k MGoPoints. You're welcome.
I just downvoted him to undo your act of good.
call me thanos, evening out the universe.
I'm pretty sure MGoPoints have been frozen indefinitely due to problems with the new site.
In that case, take my downvote. Also, Bruce Lee would kick your ass.
You are wrong. And I downvoted you because you are wrong.
Correction: Bruce Lee did kick Norris' ass.
Does that mean the user who "won" 200 points the other day for being a Reddit CFB risk MVP really got nothing?
So...how do I get my points for having an MVP on day 34, or was that before the MVP awards counted for MGoPoints?
Thanks for the effort despite JDon's spiteful counter attempt.
I must be blind or something, but I can't even see an option to upvote or downvote on the new site.
You don't see the thumbs up/down? That is what folks are talking about.
Not at all. I could upvote/downvote on the previous site, not on this one apparently.
I think they show up at 450, but don't take my word for it.....
Thanks for posting these daily. I jumped onboard after Seth's front page post. I get to beat Ohio State daily when I look at this map.
My assignment is to defend Ohio State today. Something I never thought I'd see.
Don't post your directions in here
Its no surprise Nebraska, and now Florida have been playing for the most territories, their gains are all in the west and there's virtually no competition over there. It'd be nice if we could finally eliminate Wisconsin and VTech, but Texas seems to be the key to ultimate victory with their large number of enemy territories to claim.
Need moar Maize!
The system is asking me to attack Temple, which is impossible as we dont border on it. Flaw?
That's weird. You sure you are set with Michigan flair on r/cfb?
Buckeye rookies smh
yes. It updated now to Penn State. Must have been a glitch in the system
The mods are going to have a hernia with all of these post about assignments.
Check the website again!
No one has yet explained adequately why we continue to allow Clemson "rogues" (blah blah blah) to screw us in the northeast. They obviously can't control their redneck loser fans so they are not an ally in any real way.
Screw it...
