Seeing as the last top 12 was on page 18... and we are on page 23...... Here goes nothing!
From the outside looking in....
1. To Be Determined
The conquest comparison stats are laughable. These guys appear to be (near)invincible. Nobody has really challenged them yet. Easily the top alliance, the alliance to beat: most points, best average, most bp, best-ranked players in points and abp...
Swim
2. Jossys Giants
Psi's victors are off to a strong start.
TBD has a strong presence on the boarders of O45 though. From what I can tell, there hasn't/won't be a conflict here for a while.
JG hasn't been challenged by anyone at all, evidenced by their low DBP total. These guys seem to be the obvious choice as second best alliance.
Swim
3. Legion of Death
#3 alliance, #4 attackers... respectable. The winners of Delphi are not to be underestimated though. Strong core group of players, but not neccesarily a strong core area. They are spread out a lot. These guys are good at taking noobs to start and turning them into strong players that new players wouldn't otherwise be. They do have a blanket of
Rational players protecting them from
TBD so I'll give them a
Swim
4. Argentum Contego
A lot of people are calling them an MRA. However, they do have a strong core of players from juktas. They seem to be taking a beating from
TBD, and have been catapulted up the alliance dbp rankings. I'm sure these guys won't go down without a fight, though. For now,
Float
5. KOD.
I don't know much about these guys. I do know that the beating they were taking from
Argentum has let up now that
TBD is seemingly focusing on them. They have taken a number of cities from
Argentum Gladius recently. With TBD being
Argentum's main focus, these guys could catch a break. For now,
Float
6. Argentum Gladius
Same as number 4.
Float
7. APOCOLYPSE
I've seen a lot of comments about the strength of this alliance's core group of players. A conflict with
Legion of Death seems to loom sice because
LOD is spread out, they have a large cluster of cities near
APOCOLYPSE's core. I don't know a lot about these guys, but they should not be overlooked, if not only because of their past success.
Float
8. Dynasty Veterans
These guys don't appear to be anything special. For some reason, they have a good hold on ocean 44. Maybe because they recruited everyone else? I don't know. I do not expect these guys to be around very long.
Sink
9. Legion of Hell
Same as number 3.
Float
10. Rational
These guys have two fates on the table as far as I can see. Fate 1:
Legion of Death's targets in an attempt to get better positioned to fight
TBD. Fate 2: More of
TBD's foot.
Sink
11. War Machines
These guys seem done. I wonder how much longer they will be around. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before they are disposed of once and for all by
Legion of Death.
Sink
12. *TEG*
The Elder Gods... ohh the elder gods... These guys are very friendly, and from my experience, a bunch of simmers. They are also very spread out and will probably suffer the same fate as
Rational.
Sink
There you have it... my top 12 sink or swim. Maybe I was too nice? A lot of floats and swims, and not a lot of sinks, but then again, I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings!
Before you ask: yes, I am bored, and no, I don't have a great perspective on this world, but I just wanted to liven up this thread again, get it back on topic. No more bickering about who will make the next one for a while, I hope
