[GATTACA!]

As this time of year rolls around it's time for reddit's annual game of college football risk. Tonight was the first round of action and it....didn't go so well. Michigan took South Bend, and are expanding quickly. Luckily we we where able to defeat Purdue or our lady would be eliminated already.

Hahaha. I joined and voted to attack IU.

 

[Henges24]

Where is the leadership? How do we decide as a regime who we are attacking?

I voted. Down with the Hoosiers!

 

[BobbyMac]

I never played Risk, don't understand it. Doesn't seem to be a very meaningful game as GA has 4 parts, 3 owned by GT and one by USC.

I never played either and don't know the rules but I attacked Indiana.

The map you're looking at is after the first round. GT must be really into this game because they had the second most players int eh game for round one.

This doesn't really work the same way real risk works. In real risk the territories are split up evenly and everyone starts with the same number of troops. You decide each turn which person you want to attack and with how many troops and then roll dice to see if you were successful. In this everyone is attacking and defending all at once. The the more people you recruit the more troops you have. Also the longer you play the more your vote is worth.

Tbh I don't really use discord so I'm not sure how to get the proper link. I'll keep this thread updated though.

I refuse to battle IU. Danny Ainge stopped me from rolling my emotions into Digger's offerings

Well we just eliminated them tonight. You can join us now with a clean conscious.

Good job. Michigan took Purdue as we had predicted. Thankfully we stay alive headed south. Hopefully Nebraska can cut off the dirty Wolverines and let us buy some time.

 

[fightingirish26]

what's the move?

 

[GATTACA!]

what's the move?

We're attacking Western Kentucky today. Trying to keep moving south away from Michigan. Hopefully someone else can cut them off at the pass.

We've struck a peace treaty with Nebraska. So we should be a bit safer once we can get below the Big10 brawl we're stuck in right now.

Here should be the proper discord link to anyone that wants it https://discord.gg/WHWfW5R

Edit: it’s working now, nvm.

Top teams right now have ~350 players. We're at 42. I'd say we need to get close to 100 to stand a chance of making it further and being able to pull some upsets.

This actually answered what I was just gonna ask. I've been voting, seems kinda futile though without more support.

Well the way it works is the number of people attacking any territory just amounts to a percentage chance that you will take it. For example day one we targeted Ball State. We had a ~70% chance to take it and struck out. One single person happened to decide to throw their attack at Purdue and we lucked out and they won. Otherwise we would be eliminated right now. So it's not impossible to stay alive with less voters.

If we could get up to about 100 I think we could survive against Tennessee who we're about to run into.

Well we won western Kentucky but Ohio state took Indiana from us

 

[fightingirish26]

Somehow got UK as well

 

[GATTACA!]

Good job gentlemen. We now own Kentucky and Western Kentucky. There seem to be several good options for attack tomorrow.

Our total number of votes did drop however from 42 to 36. That's not good. Hopefully the longer this thread sticks on the home page the more players we can entice.

 

[beryirish]

attack louisville to take over all of kentucky?

 

[fightingirish26]

Think we're splitting bw defending western kentucky and attacking middle tennessee

 

[GATTACA!]

We should not be attacking Middle Tennessee. It had 74 players in it yesterday.

I was tasked with defending WKU, but I'm worried people who attacked MTSU won't realize that we've had a change of plan. We are low on numbers as it is.

I'll stay and defend also.
