well that was a very biased top 12

all were sinks or eventually sinks except your own alliance and possibly SPQR
I probably should have clarified, there are many alliances who have good players but I don't think they will remain in their respective alliances. Two were float until another large/respectable alliance attacks them, but seeing as how there aren't any other dominant alliances yet they will float. These were more long term predictions and I fully accept that I could be wrong. The only biased part was me saying that The Hive will swim

and why shouldn't I? If someone isn't convinced 100% that their alliance will succeed then why even remain in your alliance?
Take for example Dulce (you guys are allowed to be picked on because at this point in time you are the dominant alliance): They have a good average are attacking and defending but based on reactions of leaders, their two top players leaving (and then one rejoining) they have already shown to have internal struggle. That is why I think they will be around until someone large enough attacks them who have had significant experience in doing so.
Because no one else has really emerged as a possibility to be dominant (that is in the top 12!~there are alliances I predict will do well who are currently not in the top 12) I predict most will sink.
I hope I explained myself a bit better, was writing a paper earlier and didn't have enough time to explain my reasoning, which would most certainly be the reason why my top 12 seemed biased.
