Risk Day 17 - This Is What Good RNG Looks Like. Ohio State Is OUT Of The West (for now)

It's always a bit nerve-wracking when the clock hits 0 on a given turn. There's no way to know how the (virtual) dice will roll and whether your team's strategy will pay off, or if a bad roll of the dice will set you back several days. You guys saw what could happen with a bad roll of the dice just a couple days ago. Last night, though, RNG decided to bless us in a big way.

Not only did we secure all of California and Nevada, but OSU lost ALL of their western territories (not counting Alaska). I cannot overstate how huge that is. We no longer have two of the biggest powers in the game bracketing us. Instead, we have Stanford (the weakest team) at our northern border, an embattled Nebraska to the east, and TAM only touches one of our territories (ASU).

That said, you all have seen how quickly fortunes can turn on a given night. We're in good position heading into the next turn, but it won't mean much if we don't take advantage of it NOW. OSU continues to recruit exceptionally well, and actually has a 52 player advantage on us (TAM also has more players). They WILL be back, so we need you guys to continue turning up the heat.
