Guess I'll do a top 12 just to get some more conversation going.
1. The Devils Rejects- Looking great. #1 in the world, #1 average in the top 12 and #1 in ABP and total BP. Obviously know what they're doing.
2. dethmatica- A few good players in a not-so-good alliance.
3. Schoolastic Book Fair- Nice core in 45. Could do a lot better in ABP, #1 in DBP besides Triumvirate which means they're either good defenders or getting hit a lot. Maybe both.
4.GEFG- Fail
5. United- Bigger fail.
6. Chaos Reborn- MRA with a very strong core for a rim alliance
7. Bruce Tera- Epic fail. I recruited their top two players, both of which will have their 3rd cities in the next day or so, partly because they joined my alliance. One of their top players offered to spy for me and the other is one of my member's wife who's looking for an alliance in her ocean. I beat the crap out of them without touching their cities.
8. WICKED- Kind of spread out, will fall apart.
9. Phonencian League- Decent core, their top player seems pretty good.
10. Savage Subjucation- Worst alliance in the top 12. Leader asked me for a merger, I called him a noob, he sent me all his awards trying to prove me wrong... I said, "dude you have the 2k award in all your worlds, you don't have the 25k. You are a noob." He said, "I have 8k in one of my worlds."
11. The Crusaders- Spread out, will fall apart.
12. MOST WANTED- Okay rim alliance. Will be fun to see how ocean 66 turns out.
Alliances to watch that aren't in the top 12:
Usual & Unusual Suspects- If you don't know why you need to pay more attention.
The Care Bears- Has a few good players.
Legends and Killers- Growing pretty fast in ocean 36, a pretty new ocean.
The Apex Predators- My alliance, so obviously there's some bias in this. We're only #3 in our ocean, but we average 4.1k, which only TDR & the USs can boast higher than, we're only #35 in the world & #18 in ABP, and as more and more of my members become conquest ready we're growing even faster without recruiting. We took 3 cities today and have at least 2 planned for tomorrow. We have 9 of the top 10 players in our ocean, and if I really wanted to I could recruit the last one. We have 1 player I consider deadweight, the rest are actively growing and participating.
Comments? Disagree? Good, let's get this forum more active, post below.
