OT - Reddit CFB Risk Update 5/12: OUT DAMN SPOT

Submitted by ReegsShannon on

As always, thanks everyone for your contributions to the war effort. We had a near perfect night last night. We now control everything in the NorthEast except Buffalo and Rutgers. Clemson just BARELY escaped to Rutgers and OSU has a spot at Buffalo.

 

Another update on user count:

 

 

Still the fastest growing team in the game. We now have fulfilled Phase 1 of our plan. We have taken Maine. Now we want to expand and take the rest of the NorthEast. Also of note, we have lost every foothold we have in the midwest, which is good news because it means that anyone operating rogue should now be acting generally with us.

 

But also, there are some important updates.

Our ally Florida, was accused of organizing the use of multiple accounts per user to cheat the game. A lot of drama unfolded from that. In response to that, the Game admins hid some of their data from the public, have said that they are going to nerf 1-2 star users in some undetermined way and are also going to increase the aggressiveness of their bot detection. 

 

So you may be recognized as a bot if you haven't been before. If you are a bot, you should see a message on the page indicating this.

 

So follow the instructions and contact the r/CFBRisk mods if that happens. Also, the CFBRisk mods have indicated that they may start marking accounts as bots if they aren't "users on R/CFB". So we ask that in order to keep yourself eligible that when you go to vote everyday: just take a look at the CFB subreddit and make a post or two. There should be always something on the front page Michigan-related that you can drop a quick take on.

 

So for today's general assignment what we would like to do is give you some more specific intructions. We want to keep OSU out of the northeast and take Buffalo. So, if you have a birthday in the months of January to April, attack Buffalo. If you have a birthday in the months of May to August, defend Syracuse. If you have a birthday in the months of September to December, defend Penn State. We are going to be using you guys to push back against OSU!

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.

 

Additionally, we have formed "The Blue Alliance" with Florida and Georgia Tech. If you would like to meme about this, go to: www.reddit.com/r/CFBRisk/

 

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.

Im thinking the mods are not Michigan fans. I got the potential bot message.

Commented on a thread that I wasnt a bot. It was deleted almost immediately. Sent messge to mods I wasnt a bot. And my account has been suspended for 7 minutes?

LOL. After not posting for a year and a half you chime in just to be a dick. You need to get a life. With all the dumb shit that has been posted in the last year and a half this is what you choose to chime in on. Take a hike.

I mean, your last posts before today were nearly a year and a half ago, so you missed some of non-OT season in 2016 and all of 2017 really. You barely post even at that. To that end, there was really no need to come across as a dick swab.

I'm so sorry you're embarrassed by your sport blog of choice. May I suggest trying RCMB where you can focus on more meaninful OT threads like titties and beer?

Purity of essence. I first became aware of it. Mandrake, during the physical act of love. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

It only took me 2 min to head over, mouse click a couple times join and make my play for the day. It'll take less than 30 seconds from here on out. 30 seconds out of 24 hours leaves me plenty of time for the "life" you'd like me to get.

Just to repeat.
 
If you were born January to April: ATTACK BUFFALO
 
If you were born May to August: DEFEND SYRACUSE
 
If you were born September to December: DEFEND PENN STATE

We are playing a game of risk against other college fan bases. 1 attack per day.



It truly is more fun than I thought It would be and takes very little time.



Free to join. Don’t even need to give an email address. (They do ask for one but you don’t need to give it)

OSU has basically made their whole goal in this game to eliminate us, and if they can't eliminate us, weaken us so we get eliminated. They are our Sparty in this game. Let's stop them.

I have to say that I never want to hear another complaint about this website. Reddit is the least user friendly site I have ever seen. Go Blue!!!

I just signed up and am defending Syracuse. If I can figure how to do this, I’m guessing any of my fellow MgoUsers can sort it out. Go Blue. Roll big numbers on dice, or whatever the heck we need to do.

In their hatred of us, they've put themselves into a position where they have no territories that cannot be taken on any given turn. Muahahhaha
