It is the year 2016, and the United States government has shut down. As a result, all the states in the lower 48 are fighting each other, and 6 people, 1 from each of 6 regions, are attempting to reunite the United States under 1 government. You are one of them.

How to Play:

Fill out this sheet according to directions in parentheses:

Name: (put what you want to be called here; it can be anything, including your username)
Color: (select from one of the allowed colors)
Region: (select from one of the regions)
Defense: (put your region's Defense value here)
Offense: (put your region's Offense value here)
Expansion: (put your region's Expansion value here)
State: (select from one of the states in the region)

Allowed Colors:

Gray, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Brown

Regions and States:

There are 6 regions, and each region has 8 states (Alaska and Hawaii are independent and do not participate in this game). These are the regions:

West: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Arizona

South Central: Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas

Southeast: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida

Midwest: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana

Mid-Atlantic: Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania

Northeast: New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine

Each region also has Defense, Offense, and Expansion values as follows:

West: 7 Defense, 3 Offense, 5 Expansion
South Central: 4 Defense, 4 Offense, 7 Expansion
Southeast: 6 Defense, 5 Offense, 4 Expansion
Midwest: 4 Defense, 7 Offense, 4 Expansion
Mid-Atlantic: 6 Defense, 4 Offense, 5 Expansion
Northeast: 5 Defense, 7 Offense, 3 Expansion

You always roll 8 dice when attacking or defending. Neutral states defend expansion attempts with 7 dice. You use Defense to defend against another player's attack. You use Offense to attack another player, and you use Expansion to attack a neutral state. If the relevant value is 5, your roll is unmodified. Each number higher than 5 adds 5% to your roll, and each number lower than 5 subtracts 5% from your roll.

Logistics:

Up to 6 users can play this game. Each must select a different region and color, and the state selected must be within the region. I also have a map to track where each player is. I will include a legend matching colors to names as players join. Here's the map:

killersup10 wants to play this game, but he claims to be IP banned. Therefore, he commented on my profile with a sheet. Here's a corrected version (he posted the wrong region for the state and stats):

Name: Killersup
Color: Gray
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Defense: 6
Offense: 4
Expansion: 5
State: Pennsylvania

5 more spots are still open, and no expansions can be made until there are at least 3 players (to be fair). I will post the updated map momentarily.

That is a correct character sheet. 4 spots remain, and expansion will be allowed once another player joins.

@evilsweetblock: Each region can only be taken by 1 player. The available regions are West, South Central, Southeast, and Northeast. Check the OP for the states in each region.

Expansion Attempt: Indiana (Cardibard, Expansion 4) vs Illinois

Result: Indiana 20, Illinois 26

Expansion Failed.

Failure Rule: You cannot retry the same attack unless you attack a different state or attack from a different state first.

I found a better (but bigger) map, so here's the updated map:

There are now 2 spots remaining. The remaining regions are South Central and Southeast. Now for your character sheet:

Name: shock457
Color: Red
Region: West
Defense: 7
Offense: 3
Expansion: 5
State: California

That sheet works, and here's the updated map:
