Where all Ivies perish, but one.
Have you heard of GoCrossCampus.com? Perhaps you have.
If you haven’t, I highly suggest you go there RIGHT NOW, SIGN UP, AND DESTROY COLUMBIA.
Ahem. Sorry, I got carried away. In a word, GoCrossCampus is the best website ever created… ever. It is an online version of the popular board game Risk. For those of you who don’t know what Risk is, I cannot devote any time in this post to teach you.
For the enlightened, Penn is currently taking part in the 2008 Ivy League Championship on GoCrossCampus, and we’re is on the verge of winning. It has been a long road getting there, but if you go to the website and sign up, you can help us finally win the war.
See, we all play as a team against students and alumni of the other respective Ivy League schools. Harvard, Yale, Brown, Cornell, and Dartmouth have been eliminated from this year’s tournament.
Penn has a commanding lead over the two remaining schools (read: puny bitches), Princeton and Columbia. In fact, Princeton is restricted to one isolated little territory in New Hampshire, and, again, it is your job to sign up and destroy them.
At the very least, it is a chance for you to join up with some fellow classmates and alums and play a saucy little board game. Perhaps you’ll make some new online friends/enemies… (Chances are you actually won’t.)
At the most, it’s another chance to put Princeton IN THE GROUND (dun dun dunnnnn). Did I mention you get to wipe Columbia off the map Because that’s kind of a big deal.
After you sign up, if anyone ever EVER asks you, “What have you done for your university lately?” you’ll be able to tell them that you destroyed the dreams of students at seven of eight Ivy League institutions. That might even be résumé-worthy…
PENN UNITE! Shout outs to Commanders J-Gale and D-Shmu; couldn’t do it without you guys.

OMG, what a freaking nerd! Go outside more once in awhile. Jesus, as if the nerdy Ivy stereotype wasn’t bad enough. Now you are telling people to stay inside and play computer games?

I may be a bandwagon jumper, but I signed up today and I’m ready to storm Colombia!
…And we are all kind of nerdy. What’s the big deal?
