Risky Business

If there was an impending attack on Cherry Hill by Princeton, would you know what to do? Well, if you're one of the 440 stoic Quakers playing GoCrossCampus, we're sure you would. But for all the heartless citizens standing on the sidelines, here's what's going on.

A few years ago the "Ivy Council" created this Ivy-only Risk rip-off "locally social online sport" as a way to increase collaboration among the schools. It allows students with possible anger issues to battle for control over New England and defend their institutions to the bitter end. (Yeah, we're kinda not getting it either.)

All you need to get started is a Penn e-mail address, and you can do your part to lead a battalion trying to steal Long Island back from Yale. We're currently in 4th place -- which is definitely better than 83rd -- but we have a lot of ground to make up. If you aren't feeling it, there's always that other stupid Ivy-only thing — but the "game chat" section is a gold mine for Ivy leaguer humor and Battlestar Galactica debates.
