Well, I have only been here for 3.5 days now. So, I can't speak about other alliances much. But it seems to me that many of the alliances are against the Rebellion (i'm in the academy). Every alliance has holes and of course so does The Rebellion. There are always greater and lesser persons than yourself. EOD and the EOD academy are fighting them, Vendetta and its academy are fighting them,and some other smaller ones are fighting them too. You would think that with over 200 or so people against you, you would be in real trouble. But that doesn't seem to be the case at all. Instead, it seems that The Rebellion is actually doing ok, some would even argue that they are winning. But considering that its over 200 people that are supposed to be against them? Well what can I say, you don't have to be a former day trader like me to predict that one.
The Rebellion - Swim (against the current the entire time and make thier way upstream the entire time with few major setbacks)
What does the rebellion have going for it? Well, a lot. If you just look at the map you'd say they are spread out too much and surrounded by enemies. but this isn't your normal bunch of people. They have at least 2 crown holders here (maybe more haven't checked) and their skype channel has over 40 people in it at all times. When they need support all they have to do is type it in skype and it floods in. A lot of these people are "Always on" type people. They use every trick in the book, report converters, various comms like skype, spreadsheets, attack planner, you name it or ask a question about it and someone knows and tells you about it or points you too it. I have been playing the game since 2011 EN Xi server and let me tell you, this is a good solid alliance with a strong core of experienced and very active people. I for one would not want to be against them.
I have seen this situation before as some of you have. When most of the large alliances are all teamed up against one team the future can be predicted rather quickly. Either it falls fast or it doesn't. When it doesn't and instead seems to not only stay the same but gain cities at the same time, well, you don't have to have much experience to see where this is going...
The Rebellion is going to be here long after some other high points alliances have merged once or twice over. If i were an experienced player I would try to bail on the MRA's and join The Rebellion as soon as I could, which, was exactly what I did when I joined the server to start with. It was easy to see where to go and I am very glad that I am here and I am working hard to be an asset to the team.
