OT - Reddit CFB Risk Update 5/22 - OSU caught in a vise
Yesterday, we consolidated our hold on the NE, forcing OSU back into the Midwest, and gaining four crucial buffered territories that are completely immune from attack this round. We also importantly gained Akron, which makes virtually all OSU territories vulnerable to attack from us and our allies. Today we will continue to put the pressure on the Buckeyes and seek to put them one round closer to elimination.

Announcements:
The "Blue Alliance" has been re-dubbed the "Allied Forces" and now consists of Michigan, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida, and Texas. Please refrain from attacking any territories controlled by our allies.
If you are a relatively new reddit user, please check the game page to ensure that you are not being flagged as a bot. If you are flagged you will see a text box like the one below. If you are flagged as a bot, your turns will not assist our chances to win (although you can still accumulate turns so you can level up stars). If you see this box, then follow the hyperlink to fill out the survey, but ALSO message /u/bakonydraco directly on reddit to get the issue sorted out.
Instructions to Join:
To join all you need to do is go to reddit.com/r/cfb and create an account if you don't already have one. Next, set your flair to Michigan. You can do this by clicking "Select Flair" on the right side of the cfb subreddit. Finally, you can join and play the game at https://vote.redditcfb.com/cfbrisk.php.
If you want to discuss the game in deeper detail and strategize with us, you can join our discord server found here: https://discord.gg/TcZBTcj. We usually announce plans of what we want to attack/defend in the evenings, but we discuss strategy all day. Be warned though, there will be a vetting process to join the discord as we have had some mole issues from OSU. Even if you don’t pass the vetting process, we can still provide less-secret instructions in the general chat so that you can still help us towards our goals until we can fully 100% trust you.
Go Blue!
Instructions as to how to play:
At the beginning of the game. Every team was assigned one single territory, and so every territory is now named after that team. When you go to select an action in the game, you'll see option such as:
"Defend Buffalo", "Attack Penn State", "Attack Kent State".
This means that we border the location that was originally assigned to Penn State and Kent State. If you choose to attack Penn State, you will attempt to take that piece of land next round. Defend Buffalo, means that we currently own Buffalo's original homeland, and defending Buffalo means putting your stars towards keeping Buffalo from being taken.
After you submit what you're doing for the day, just sit back at wait! At Midnight EST all of the picks from all of the teams go in, and a random number generator selects a winner for each territory. Then it all happens again tomorrow.

Here's todays map:
Does that make us like Joe Pesci in "Casino"? Getting pretty serious there w your Reddit CFB Risk. Be careful, it's a dangerous world - don't want to get clubbed and buried in a cornfield...
That is all
I don't really care what happens in the end. I just want to crush OSU.
That's just a great philosophy for life in general.
Huge win. We can't let them dig back into the northeast.
I was originally taking orders as requested, but got busy with real life for a bit and just started logging on and doing my own thing. Pretty sure I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing, but the way this game is currently designed, I'm skeptical of the role of strategy anyway. So here's what I'm doing :HEADING WEST. I want to make Champions of the West happen. Don't know how sucessful I'll be, but I'm a 3-time MVP in this game, so the RNG force is with me.
Reactions welcome. I'll change course if I get downvoted heavily.
Would definitely love to have you coordinate with us, but that said, you do you. Just please refrain from attacking any allies.

Absolutely. I won't attack allies.
I am the opposite. Strategy is important, as it is in actual Risk. I log in, check the marching orders and do my part for the TEAM.
I just keep the orders page open in one tab so I can remember to reload it once a day. Easy enough.
THE TEAM THE TEAM
there, fixed it for you. can't say THE TEAM just once around here.
Fine. I'll follow orders. But consider sending a contingent west before this game is over. I hate when people use THE TEAM THE TEAM THE TEAM on me.
Great album by Triumph - "Fight The Good Fight", "Magic Power". Underrated band in the mid-80's.
But dude - one thing to play this CFB Risk, another thing to start getting geeked about name changes for your group attacks. C'mon...
The most recent MVP of Buffalo. Thanks for defending that territory, even if nobody was attacking.
Waking up to see that map was an erotic experience for me. The NE is ours!
The only action I am capable of is Attack OSU.
in the relative sense, yes. everything ends soon.
This is the first comment today that made me LOL. Well done.
Trying to get up to 3 star staus, but the karma climb required is very challenging.
What's your reddit name? I'll go upvote you.
Thanks! It's the same as on here: virgilthechicken
I gave you several upvotes. I am also on the climb to 3 stars. Only about 125 left
I'm trying to scale Mount Karma to get a third star myself and it is definitely hard going. Gave ya a few upvotes to help ya on your way.
I updated my sub karma and other stuff and now feel INVINCIBLE! Three stars baby!
Nice work!
First time I've ever been grateful for Akron. Puts us in striking distance of all of ohio. Let's take it ladies and gents.
I've got 5 stars on links and have 3 stars for taking 10 turns in cfb risk but am still a one star overall. What does it take to get to 2 stars?
Your star power is equal to your median star level. You can get 2* in karma by posting in /r/CFB regularly.
Unfortunately that means I need to rack up >400 karma to get muh 3 stars. Shitposting, here I come!
Yeah, it's like mgopoints. Just comment on reddit.com/cfb and you should get to two star status in a couple days.
I'll work on the comments. Although I don't have much to say!
Once you read everyone else's comments. Nobody is really "good" at Reddit, so much as "brave" on Reddit.
I'd be happy to upvote you there if you want to post your username.
