CFB Risk

Mixed bag tonight. Wisconsin did take Wyoming, with only a 36% chance to win it. That breaks our wall and opens up a lot of other territories to attacks from the Badgers. We also lost KU to Meatchicken, that was a cointoss fight.

For some positive news, we moved just ahead of Georgia Tech for fourth place in star power. We also had a few rogue players take Wisconsin's home turf with just an 11% chance to do so. They also took Illinois. The thing is, those two territories are now isolated behind enemy lines, and will probably fall pretty quickly.

It looks like our general strategy is going to be to defend the eastern front as best we can with our allies, while focusing our offense westward. Frankly, OU is a weak ally, relative to everyone else on our eastern front. I think they'd be better off leaving the east to us and Texas A&M, while they go fight Stanford in the west. A&M completely owns the state of Texas now, so there's that. One thing to watch this turn is the battle for Alaska. Nebraska and Ohio State both border it right now (you can enter Alaska from Maine). We want to grab and hold that one, because it's a chokepoint with only a couple borders.

If you're not sure where to go, I would suggest defending Boise State or Utah State.

We've lot a lot of territory, down to fourth place by that measure. Our eastern line is gone at this point, with Wisconsin and Michigan pouring through. Ohio State is largely unopposed in the northeast, and now they're posed to invade the Pacific Northwest via Alaska. Our A&M allies lost SMU to Meatchicken, who had just a 0.02% chance to take it. It looked like we were moving toward a non-aggression pact or even alliance with Stanford, but they sent quite a bit after us. It sounds like there may have been some blunders by Stanford's leadership, waiting to hear what happened there. Edit: Stanford leadership says they screwed up the orders on their end, and are expecting the consequences from us tomorrow. Of course, for all we know it may have been deliberate - they could be in alliance with Wisconsin and Michigan or something.

We did hold the motherland tonight, though, but frankly we got lucky. Meatchicken sent 41 players after our home turf, but we held the line with 21 players. We also somehow held onto Wisconsin's home turf, pulling one out of our asses and defending it despite just a 0.07% chance to do so. We continue to climb in star power, though, greatly exceeding our modest numbers. We still need more numbers, though, so get 'crootin!

RNGesus giveth, RNGesus taketh away. Right now, we're shifting into sort of a Southern Strategy. Our main focus is on flushing Stanford out of California. That will give us a more defensible position, with our backs to the Pacific. Starting from California and looking eastward, the map will be something like Nebraska territory -> Oklahoma -> A&M -> Bama -> GT - all of whom we're either allied or on good terms with. We're also looking to cause some chaos from our holdings in the Great Lakes region, so that Wisky and Meatchicken can't commit all of their forces to the front lines.

 
Well, so much for that idea. A&M just broke our alliance. Right about now, we're rather lacking in friends, which is a Bad Thing.

I signed up 4 days ago.  For those that have no idea what this is like me a few days ago.  In reality, if you have a reddit account, it takes about 2 minutes to sign up and takes another 10 seconds a day to select what you are going to do "attack" or "defend".  Looking at the map this morning, we definitely need some help with our Big 10 brethren (Wisc, Ohio State, and Michigan) have formed an unholy alliance against us and trying to wipe the 'skers off the map.  Anyway, if you have 5 minutes today, join up and click once a day with pretty much 0 commitment  and bragging rights on the table.
