See KJ I can crack a joke:)
GAME OF THRONE EDITION!
Let's be honest, this game is about power, it's about political control. It takes size, skill, and knowing how and when to use your sword in order to gain the throne.
So, right now, we have 5 alliances with a history of sitting on the throne, in our top 5.
Here they are:)
1. LAF and SOF- They share the Power. One can argue who bends over for whom, or whether or not they take turns, but for now they have a very affective collaboration that works for both. Both are around 80. The top netters and the top fighters. Its a tough ruthless conbination. But we know the history of the game. In the end, there can only be one! However, this alliance has lasted several resets beyond a coalition war, and it has tried and trued enough vet leadership willing to share that we may see the kind of partnership that hasn't really ever happened, between 2 co-no 1 alliances.
3. MD- MD has a long storied history in the game of thrones. Samoan's MD was the first to lead by cooperation, not by sheer domination. That being said.
Pride is doing an excellent job rebuilding MD, from the ashes of Arse's policies. (I am not commenting on whether or not his policies were right or wrong, just commenting on the destruction they led too.)
MD is not near reclaiming their claim to the throne. There's a long ways between no 3 and the no 1's, but MD is clearly climbing.
4. Rival- Their highest ranking yet since returning, their climb has been impressive. They also benefit very well from their political situation. And are poised to continue climbing. The rumored beatdown they are giving this reset wont' help their rankings any, but it'll allow s to see if all 60 are active or not:) at least for a few days.
5. SOL- The diposed King. Maki is gone. SOL is rebuilding, but still top 5. SOL will rebuild, and I predict one day will sit on the throne again Its SOL's history, Sit on the throne, under a leader, drop off, rebuild and sit on it again.
Here ends the game of thrones, everyone else is just fodder. (at least for now.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Evo- Top smaller netting alliance in the game, wins ave net most sets when netting.
Recovering nicely from KJ's influence. Before growing too much they need to mend some broken relationships.
7. Monsters- The truly apolitical allaince in the game with 14 yrs of not ever being involved in a game of thrones oriented war. Nor ever wanting to be a part of it. The only alliance in the game that can say that. Good netters, underrated fighters. But not yet elite in either. A slight drop off in numbers, or Monsters would have been no 6.
8. LCN- Losing Eevil hurt, but still a top 10 allaince. LCN is the best alliance in the history of the game never too sit on the throne.
9. Omega- Solid numbers following up last set. Top notch netters and fighters.
10. PDM- Sheer size, PDM has a few good players, and is doing a good job rebuilding. Now I want to see top to bottom quality in fighting and netting, I know the potential is there. In toda'ys game its easier tyo transofrm 50 players into high quality players, than it is to jump from 25-50+ players. PDM is poised to make the biggest move, but are they dedicated enough? Or are they happy with past results? I expect PDM to leapfrog into top 7 next set.
11. Tie- Tie could easily be on edge of top 5. But you don't mess with one of the kings unless you have some major backing. And yes, it could be aruged the Kings are messing with you, however the Kings make the rules. Its earth, its how it works. Tie should also be higher than this. Step it up guys:) You can do it.
12.RD- Same Song As previous sets:)
13. ICN- On an upswing. New leadership, new energy. I forsee some growth, development and good things happening.
14. Sanctuary- Good netters, excellent fighers, should probably be above ICN, but I don't sense near the energy
15.Imaginary Numbers- Kinda of like a small SellSword company like the Second Swords. Never know what side they aer going to fall on, but they serve their purpose when on your side. Especially in a server war where they are lost in the shuffle, that's when they are at their best.
16. Nefoed- won a war last set. Has a few excellent Players
17. N/A- Come back guys:)
18. DeathKnights- Lots of work to do, its hard starting an allaince.
19. Danger- Best Posters on AT right now:)
20. Hero- Go a reset without deletions and some allainces will consider pacting you. Meanwhile, you're going to be farmed, and earn those stripes. Don't take the easy way out as it'll only hurt you longterm.
