.... Perhaps.

Or we could all reach a peace agreement that ends with iS in first. I think that'll work well for everybody.

still sure Geber

It's okay Nick. We know what's up. And now so will everyone else.

TFF/TFBB - (I still don't get the name change... but whatever iS was SoS "Sub of Seth" for 4 days last era ) Anyway they're in a really tough spot right now, and have loyalty concerns.

In theory, now would be an opportune time to remove them from the running..... Just sayin.

If they get a few good TRUSTWORTHY members. (not likely since the applicants they're getting are skipping town on their alliance) they could still bounce back and make a push.

SAS - Camps galore. They've made themselves difficult to attack, but have also pigeonholed themselves. Personally I think the camp defense is overrated. (Although it can be useful) Really all it is, is a delay and stalling tactic. It'll help keep someone from surprising you with a 4 tick massive attack. But that's about it. Right now they're in first place and with good reason. But they're outta room to expand. And have a lot of mid sized alliances in their territory like KRAW, TKC, and WFAM.

iS - Own alot of land... Too much land. If any of the top 5 or 10 alliances attacked them they would hemorrhage turf. However like SAS they'd be tough to attack at home. and If they focused their attack or defense they'd be able to regain what land they'd lose and probably take more... while simultaneously losing land elsewhere. (I vote for them to win it all )

KRAW - (THAT'S RIGHT YOU GUYS MADE THE BREAKDOWN!!!) Their not as big or as strong as the top 3. In fact I'd put them somewhere around 60% as strong as the BIG 3. AND that is precisely their strong suit. While the Big boys are posing and jostling each other for position, these guys just keep growing and growing. IF/WHEN a war breaks out between two or all three of the top alliances, They will likely be left out of it. Ignored. And they'll scoop up land resources and conquers. From all sides. If the chips fall a certain way they potentially could win the whole thing. Sometimes it's simply the last man standing that wins... No easier way to be that guy, than to not fight.

WFAM/WFA - As long as WFAM has *WFA* in their name they don't have a chance. Until they truly become their own alliance, making their own decisions, and acting on their own accord. They'll never be able to accomplish more than a top 3 finish. (And that's only if the winner destroys the other top teams. Or they all kill each other and KRAW wins.) They've got decent strength, but not enough to hang right now. And unless they go to war with somebody the margin of difference will grow larger and larger as the ticks pass.

While KRAW should sit on their hands to have a chance.... WFAM needs to do the exact opposite. As for WFA itself, they'll have to eat WFAM (like they tried) and then proceed just like WFAM would have to.


AND THAT's the world as it is now.... Or at least how I see it.

errrrrrrrrrr there is no map.... , and yes spyda that is basically a sum up of the era as it stands!

I know. Something dumb is going on with imageshack. I had one up there but I didn't like the size of it and now even after uploading it fresh and starting completely over all I get is a stupid black box.... This is really annoying.

Someone else put up a map plz. and don't use imageshack. They're on crack.

That. All it does is stall your enemies, but makes it very easy to jam you within whatever radius you have the camps. Secondly, making camps doesnt give room to build new colonies or outposts that can be better used for resources. Personally the camp defence is not good strategy.

ya we're in a lot of trouble right now i've almost given up on this era random nub screwed us over big time

I was pretty up front and honest about everyone. Including ourselves. I'm glad to see it seems to be pretty accepted.

But I was kinda hoping to start a discussion and bring some action back here.

Next time I'll have to say something outright crazy.

we must attack kraw now before they kill us all

What really happened? Was it the new guy you took from WFA?
