********original OP below*******
The new thread each day was too much so we will post the daily updates all in one place, right here. That should make it easier for people with a watch list to keep up and we can add important information to this OP as people ask questions....Feel free to ask questions and I will update the OP with important information as questions come up.

How to join the Aggie CFB Risk Subreddit:
Log into your Reddit account and go to /r/AggieCFBRisk. This is a private subreddit, so you will not be able to view anything initially. Message the mod team (or just click here). Please include your A&M class year and major, the Reddit or TexAgs username of the Aggie who invited you, or explain how you found out about Aggie CFB Risk. A moderator will message you promptly, and may ask you a few questions. This is necessary to keep spies from other schools out! Once you are approved, you will be able to view the subreddit's content.
Guide to the CFB Risk Website
Once you've connected your Reddit account, the CFB Risk page will change slightly. I'm describing the main page left to right, top to bottom.
How does CFB Risk Work?
On turn 1, each team starts with their home territory. 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 at 10 PM central time 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.
Make sure your move counts!
We've been receiving reports of a lot of players' moves not counting and therefore messing up streaks which negatively impacts our star power. Make sure when you click on a move, that you receive a green box at the top of the screen saying that your move is confirmed! Once this is done, I would recommend taking a screenshot of the webpage that shows that your move has been confirmed just in case it does not count for some odd reason. The mods will reinstate your streak to help your star power if you have evidence you made your move (and in some cases without evidence if you ask nicely).
Warning - Multiple Accounts is Not OK!
DO NOT MAKE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS! This is a good way for us to get disqualified. The game runners noticed that each of the last several days we had something like 70 accounts that were obviously ALTS. Do not use these, it will get us disqualified. Having family members on the same wifi network is one thing, having 10+ accounts from the same IP address is completely ridiculous. Aggies don't lie, cheat or steal, and if we do we will get DQ'd...

How to join the Aggie CFB Risk Subreddit:
Guide to the CFB Risk Website
Once you've connected your Reddit account, the CFB Risk page will change slightly. I'm describing the main page left to right, top to bottom.
- Top bar with links to Home, Leaderboard (overall heat map and stats for remaining teams), Team Odds (team heat maps and stats for each territory), How to play (overview of the game and how it works)
- Presented by collegefootballdata.com
- Countdown to the end of the turn, at 10PM Central time
- Links to the main CFB Risk subreddit, Twitter, and main Discord server
- Your Reddit username, team, and how many stars you have based on 5 criteria explained here. The higher your star rating, the more impact your move has. Play every day to earn more stars. Maintaining a streak of at least ten days is the easiest yet biggest thing you can do to help! Click your username for a breakdown of your past turns.
- Your team. Click for your team's statistics and pretty graphs!
- A map of the United States, broken down into territories based on college football teams. If you click on the territory, the name of the territory is the name of the team it originally belonged to, and the color is the school colors of the team that currently owns the territory. Click "See past maps" for previous days. If you click on any territory and click "View history" you can see which teams have owned the territory during this season. If you click on a team icon on the history page, you can see the breakdown of that day's moves for the territory and the usernames of the players who made those moves.
