First Top 12 in the US Forums server. I won't use numbers here until I decide which format to use. These are my Long-term predictions for sink/swim and are based off of location, pacts as I know them, current wars/conflicts as I know them, and understanding of the alliance's leadership/direction as I understand them. Should I lack information on any of those areas I will assume the alliance is Competent and has no allies.

1. Victorious Secret: Swim - In my mind despite their current battles I believe this alliance is in the best position by far with decent allies. They have a clear direction to expand with their flank covered. Smooth sailing especially if the current coalition holds.

2. Agent Orange: Sink - I feel this group is extremely out of position. Only one significant ally that I am aware of but if the other alliances in the top 12 play smart I don't see AO recovering. Long Story short without a significant shake up rather it's tomorrow or two months from now this alliance Fails.

3. Men of Mayhem: Sink - This analysis is based more off of the direction I know this alliance is taking vs their potential. Strong allies not withstanding I believe the miscue if not corrected immediately, like this week, this alliance ultimately crumbles.

4. serial killers: Sink - Not afraid to admit it this is definitely all about positioning for me here. That and I have no confidence in Solexis33. If you are in this alliance....RUN!!!

5. serial killerz: Sink - Same as above, prospects would improve should they break away but not by much.

6. Fluffy Bunnies: Sink - Kinda sucks for this competent group here. Their strong allies stunts their growth too much.

7. Them: Swim - Flank covered, Strong Leadership with clear direction. VS pay attention

8. Th3m: Swim - See Above

9. Hell Hounds: Sink - Really like this group. They have a strong impact on a few alliances success. This analysis is more about what other alliances are doing around them as opposed to any major incompetence's by this team

10. Immortalis: Swim - Based more off of positioning then anything. Strong leaders but a team of a lot of newbies. This analysis is based off the belief they get their members in order before anyone is in a significant position to respond.

11. Disgruntled Wild Cards: Sink - One of my Favs here would put them in my top 5 in terms of who I believe will succeed but heart aside my head says fail.

12. Sith Battle Toads: Sink - All bad. similar to SK however I'm not aware of any allies that can change this group outcome. Again RUN!!!

Great top 12,
Only a couple opinions though: I should probably just make my own T12 though.
I don't know why you think the Bunnies will sink though, we have an entire Western Flank open. I also don't know why you think MoM will sink as they can still grow in 54 and 64. Also who will fill in the gap left by AO/sk/SK in 54/44 if they also sink?

My Top 12 Authentic from the Rim

1. Victorious Secret- Swim
They control 55 they control 56, are growing in 45, and with allies the entire SE direction is theirs.

2. Agent Orange- Swim
Control northern 44 and 54, although their are some prospects they will brush aside most of the north who dares to challenge them.

3. Men of Mayhem- Swim
can only see them growing northwards and eastwards, If they want they can become the other Northern power in the world quite easily.

4. serial killers- Float
Although they may lose their sister they can definitely swim in 54 which they have on lockdown with AO, which is the only alliance ABP wise that can match the VS machine (AO).

5. serial killerz- Sink then Float
They are getting hit by VS and are losing cities daily in 45. Don't see them standing to long. Depending on whether THEM comes out of their shell in 35 they may keep some of their fringe cities and ocean 44 border cities intact. They have members in two other core oceans and due to their connections will not entirely disappear.

6. Fluffy Bunnies- Swim, My Alliance
Although we are a part of the VS coalition most of our members either help with VS against SKz or clean the rim or even due both. We have currently caused a few rim alliances to go under and as we spread along the rim we will continue to do so.

7. Them- Swim
Using a strategy that shows up once every world, Ocean-stacking they have managed to gain a great core in ocean 35. I would like to see them go head to head with three alliances (unless their pacted) before I say anymore, Hell Hounds, INVICTUM, SKz. If they can take cities from this world they will last, the benefit they have is they are isolated from the two main dogs, VS and AO.

8. Th3m- Swim
They make the third biggest agglomeration of alliances in the world, after VS and SK.

9.Hell Hounds- Float
Underdogs, and my personal favs after (VS and FB of course) ithey have the ABP and DBP to show that they can play, if they can keep control of 34 by taking in INVICTUM and expand north and southward into 35 and 33, they can get themselves back to their proper place. The thing is has AO knock them down too far. Their leader talked big and then proved he could fight, one of the best examples in server of leading by example.

10. Immortalis- Swim
Sneaked up in the NE and if they follow the THEM/TH3M pattern in the oceans they control, they can become a successful rim alliance also. See them continuing to expand in 63 and 53. They need to watchout for MoM and AO though.

11. Disgruntled Wild Cards- Sink
At first I thought they were going to take the north by storm but after a few weeks of not much growth outside of 43, I think they will either be eaten by The Faction, AO or Immortalis.

12. The Flying Badgers- Float
They are really small and just chugging along in 46. Unless allainces start to pay attention to them in 46 I see them swimming and growing little by little maybe even moving into 36. Although they will grow, I see very little WW potential for this alliance.

Alliances to Watch
The Faction- Solid Leadership with experience and fast growth.
Knights of Carnage- May grow only to get eaten by THEM or The flying Badgers but for now I see some potential in their extreme isolation from large alliances.

Nice top 12.
I am definitely a pessimist lol. I think Bunnies is solid, I am just not a fan of the current overlap with your allies territory wise. Not enough quality cities to target imo. I would equate Bunnies long term success to someone having a Royal Flush in poker. It's possible and I've seen it happen before but it's a hand I would never guess anyone would have til the cards are on the table if that makes since.

Regarding MoM I was indicating that although they have a clear avenue to success I don't believe they are taking it, in fact I think they are running fast the opposite way. Just unconfirmed intel on their strategy that all indications say they are following. I think they have a week maybe 2 tops to turn things around before they are in a hole they can't get out of no matter what changes they want to make at that time.

The Parathain Shot void was filled sure enough. Look for a similar situation with AO/SK, different players, same game.

Spell bombing is a tactic to get in the enemy's head. It's a good one too. So I could totally see having a spell bombing thread, especially when you're trying to tear down walls.

Not the kind of man crush you were hoping for, no lingerie involved so put yours back in the closet.

I know you have a short.....memory, so as you can see quoted below you're the one crying about the spells, not me. I was only reminding you that your forum has a thread dedicated to bolting others, so stop your crying already...geeez
Sometimes what goes around comes right back at ya. lol

I feel like Harleymatic is that one kid in elementary school who is really annoying and wants to play every game. If you don't let him play he cries and tells the teacher. If you let him play, he inevitably begins to lose; in which case, he cries and tells the teacher. Both scenarios end up with the teacher discontinuing all games and getting mad at all of the kids. That kid is the absolute worst
