OT - Reddit CFB Risk Update 6/3: Holding Steady
Yesterday was another decent day as we took almost everything we wanted. OSU managed to snag Army, but we somehow pulled off a major upset on Wisconsin's home turf. We have plenty of options this turn. The Red Alliance has been pushed back a little bit and Chaos has nearly been evicted from the east.
Please click the link below to get your assignments for the day.
Please do not post about your assignments in the thread below. Trying to keep everything a little bit more secure after our mole issue.
Announcements:
The "Blue Alliance" has been re-dubbed the "Allied Forces" and now consists of Michigan, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida, and Texas. If you aren't using the website to get orders, then 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/Gqqsczy. 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 today's map:
What else is the Deep State hiding?
Eh. We've really only had two bad days in the last week. The last couple have been neutral-to-positive. You have to keep in mind that when we were gaining all that territory, we were basically just overpowering a weaker OSU team. Now, we have to contend with a triple threat of OSU, Nebraska (who trades off with Florida each night for strongest team in the game), and Wisconsin). Being able to hold ground while protecting our weaker allies and converging with our strongest ally (Florida), is a pretty big deal. The last week hasn't been so much about gaining territory as it has been solidifying positioning on the map.
How is the strength of our alliance compared to the Red Alliance? Gets confusing at times since the leaderboards are so unreliable in terms of actual strength.
we have pretty much re-taken the eastern seaboard
I don't have much karma at the moment, but getting there.
