BoS- Their top 10 or so attackers besides mojosrin (FIDUS13, leonidas fot., elpida) are players that jumped ship from The Illuminati. Everyone else besides BE0W0LF, AreslilRidz, Fluffy Tinker Bell and mojosrin simply used gold to get ahead of the game in 56 then kicked everyone's butt, the 3 players previously mentioned spawned later than the majority of BoS players, joined TI then left to BoS. BoS hasn't actively fought an alliance over 500,000 points besides Hands of Fate, and if you look at the situation they only took cities from an alliance that had about 300,000 points in 56, and the other 300,000 or so in mid-45. The Bish is the largest alliance they have fought. Props to Coin Chucker also
Not saying BoS is simmers (As this is basically what the majority of players in the top alliances do, gold their way early game then kick butt later) but Ares can't talk whatsoever to GoT until they fight someone over 1 million points.
Also brysee recently joined their alliance.
