CFB Risk Day 6 - This Feels a Lot Like Real Life (Sparty Gon' Die)

Tell me if this sounds familiar....

(1) Notre Dame ran off to the ACC to avoid the crush of the B1G

(2) Ohio State continues to be our biggest rivals, though our punches are a bit heavier now

(3) Michigan State got to pretend for a bit and is now falling apart

If it does, then you're a normal Michigan fan and/or you're paying a ton of attention to CFB Reddit Risk.

Now admittedly, the Notre Dame narrative is a stretch. Yes, they're quickly retreating from the Midwest, but it looks like they will die before ever sniffing the east coast. Tennessee has pushed north and Notre Dame had to win two battles where they were underdogs just to survive the night.

On the other hand, Ohio State is playing its part well. We managed to capture some territory in Ohio and Indiana, but Ohio State decided to perpetuate the ancient war and take Toledo back. They were underdogs, but not HUGE underdogs, and we grabbed Bowling Green as underdogs ourselves.

Just like in real life, if we're going to make inroads in Ohio, it will take time and manpower. But like in real life, it's worth it.

And now we come to Michigan State....

Remember how Michigan State looked really good for a few years while Michigan struggled to regain its identity? They even made it to the CFP (where they failed to score a single point)! But now that Michigan has recaptured its mojo, Sparty simply can't compete.

Well, it's a different stage with the same result. We were constrained for the first 4 days, but now that we're unleashed, the MGoHorde has driven Sparty out of the state and into the farther reaches of Canada. They've got Wisconsin to their West, Chaos to their North, a bunch of foes to their East, and we're pushing up from the South.

Sparty is going to die. It's their fate. It was always their fate. Let's do our best to contribute to that death, shall we?

Go Blue and f*ck everybody in our way (but especially Ohio State).

How Does the Game Work?

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 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.
