Toe Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I mean, it's not like you have anything better to do while you're sitting in isolation. This might be the most football excitement we get for a while. Let's show them who the best fanbase is and turn the whole map Big Red! Ultimately, our goal is to eliminate all of the other teams and control the whole map. If you click on a territory on the map, you can see who controls it (click it again to make the popup go away). Generally, you should avoid attacking territories that our allies control and focus on other territories. I'll try to keep this thread updated with the status of that stuff. For the most part, we're probably going to focus on westward expansion, as we did last game. You have two options each day: defend a territory we control, or attack a territory we don't. Once you're registered, all you have to do each day is scroll down to the Actions section and click on the logo of the territory you want to attack or defend - it only takes a minute or two each day to participate. We use various means to coordinate our moves each day. You can sign up for daily orders in a few places. The easiest is to use the Huskers Risk website. Just sign in with your Reddit account (which you'll need to play the game) and you'll be given a daily order. If you like Discord, you can join the Huskers Risk Discord server, where we have a bot set up to send daily orders. (Most strategic planning also happens on the Discord.) Or if all else fails, follow my posts in this thread, where I'll be making regular posts about our daily status and priorities. We currently have an alliance with Oklahoma and Texas A&M and a nonaggression pact with Wisconsin, so attacking territories they control is discouraged.

Toe Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Looks like it's gonna be a Nebraska-Oklahoma-Texas A&M alliance. AKA a f#&% The Horns alliance. 2 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 First turn ends tonight at 10 Central. You become more powerful in the game by playing more days, and more consecutive days, so get your votes in! Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Good start to the game yesterday, we captured every single territory bordering Nebraska and eliminated their teams. That's Colorado State, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, and Wyoming all KO'd in one hit. Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia Tech are all well ahead of us in players and star power at the moment, though, so we need more players! 2 Quote Link to comment

Or you can join the Discord and have an attack/defend order sent to you daily. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I joined. Hopefully I remember to play each day(?) Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Tonight, we slaughter the Buffaloes! https://gfycat.com/incomparablefantasticarabianwildcat One of the more amusing things to happen in turn 1 was little ol' UTEP taking two territories... https://external-preview.redd.it/RczWyC2nEz_TcYeTGlXtsCdd1seWDpdC4sbP0afei2g.gif?format=mp4&s=58dfbf78c0feaf58aad0babdeeac7ee3aa87a1ff 4 Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 If you don't want to hop in the Discord, that's totally cool. Head west, young man... head west Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hoo boy, now we've done it. We're in first place with fifteen territories. We control a pretty big chunk of the map now. Problem is, we're in fifth place for number of players, and now we've got a big target on our backs. We need more players! Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Curious thing. Yesterday, a few rogues from our side took the Minnesota territory, which was held by the Badgers whom we have a non-aggression agreement with. So we agreed that today, we would allow the Badgers to retake Minnesota. The thing is, they went way overkill on it, sending a much larger force than necessary. They also left a couple territories somewhat lightly defended, which Michigan took. Now people are wondering if Wisconsin is secretly allied with Michigan... So right now, the discussion is about whether we should be going after Texas or Michigan (along with a few people who are obsessed with Stanford, lol). Personally, I say go after Texas. We have actual allies against them, and they're the weaker of the two targets. Try to take them out ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment
