CFB Risk Day 6 - Recruits Needed! The Badger/Wolverine Duo Took a Bite Out of Nebraska (Despite TERRIBLE RNG), But TAM and OSU Loom
There's no way around it....last night was rough. We lost territories where we had 93%, 90%, and 69% (nice) odds of winning. Northwestern was especially cruel, as two lowly (redundant) 1-star Buckeyes took the territory with just a 5% chance. (next paragraph)
But it wasn't all bad! Our new Badger Buddies took the Wyoming territory from Nebraska, putting the Cornhuskers in a VERY precarious position. And despite our bad RNG, we managed to take Kansas, giving us access to more Cornhusker territory. (next paragraph)
At the end of the day, though, none of this will matter if we can't get more recruits. Last year we had an army of Go Blue faithful helping us wreck the then Red Alliance and putting us in position to win the whole damn thing in the last round. This year? Texas A&M is quickly growing into a monster and Ohio State(!) has almost 10% more power than us. If we don't get more MGoBloggers to sign up (and ASAP), we will in serious trouble in just a few rounds. So please, take just a few seconds to sign up, put in your turn, and know that you've made a worthy contribution to the cause of beating Ohio State in the latest competition.
We have a non-aggression pact with Wisconsin. It’s very important that if you are playing do not attack Wisconsin owned territories, including the ones in Michigan. If you receive an order to attack a Wisconsin owned territory then it is because we have communicated with Wisconsin on that territory. If you have any questions about an order, then please DM us privately on reddit or discord.
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.

This is the most exciting thing I have going on in quarantine

Why did they take the logos off the territories? Can hardly tell who owns what anymore.

my overall star power is now 2-stars!

Me too. 5 more consecutive rounds and I will get to 3 star status.

I am irrationally amused by Florida owning San Diego State this early in the game.
I'm back in the game and got my orders. Closest thing to sports there is right now.
When it refers to “getting an assignment” does that mean someone is telling you how/what to attack or defend? I would be fine with signing up if it somehow bolsters the UM squad, but can’t guarantee that I would ever do much to contribute beyond signing up
Yes.
You just simply go to michigancfbrisk.com and click "Get an Assignment" then you follow the link to collegefootballrisk.com to execute the assignment, which is literally just clicking the logo of the team you were assigned. You don't have to do anything else beyond that.
However, you can't just sign up once and continuously contribute. You'd need to repeat the process each day.
I feel like the game is out to get Michigan every year. These losses with 93% odds of winning seem too familiar.
how do i get my start rating up? I played the first time around and had over 50 turns, does that get taken into account? somehow im still a 1 star.
You can see your star rating on the front page of https://collegefootballrisk.com/
If you played 50 turns last round you'd be a 4 star. Depending on if you received any MVP awards last round you'll need to play either 3 or 5 consecutive days to get 2 stars overall.

Participation is so easy even a buckeye fan could do it. Seriously, just a few seconds and a few clicks a day. Its about honor.
