So, it’s been six days since I posted my last top 12 and I decided to have another go and see how the world is developing, sorry its going to be a long one, probably going to need multiple posts. I’ve had a few people ask me what alliance I am in. So, I am gonna level with you folks, my alliance embarrassingly isn’t even in the top 20, mostly because I am not really playing this world seriously. So, I am mostly an impartial member of the public, I do have friends in 5 of the top 12 so I do get some information from them, but I am trying my best be impartial. This top 12 does not count academies and sisters so for this one numbers 1-15 will be included. Let me know what you think, if you think I am wrong so on and so forth, lets keep the top 12 on track for a day lol. All the city takes are from the last 7 days and are solely from the other top 12 alliances featured on this list.
Confetti, Guild of Infidels & Confetti Overload
Current Position: 1st, 7th & 33rd
As Attackers: 1st, 11th & 34th
As Defenders: 3rd, 12th & 42nd
Number of Players: 57, 42 & 6 Total: 105
Current City Takes: 36 from Thermo family, 2 from The Blame Game, 19 from KAOS, 1 from Sons Family, 1 from FAIL
Colour: Red
Not much has changed here, Confetti still sits at the top of the heap, still looking strong. Winning their wars with KAOS and Thermo, looks like a few of their players have clashed with others but up until now that’s just a side focus. Their grouping is a bit all over, nice long line down into 55, question remains as to which ocean they plan to dominate or is it they don’t care for oceans right now rather just going where their main food is? If that is the case I hope they’re gearing up for the competition. Poop and Kron don’t usually like sharing from what I remember, they’ll cuddle anyone if they stay out their oceans. Which doesn’t seem to be the case right now. Will be fun to watch this develop. As it stands now they are one of the favourites for winning the world. But only time will tell.

Thermopylae, Thermopylae II & Mobius
Current Position: 2nd, 13th & 17th
As Attackers: 7th, 9th & 18th
As Defenders: 1st, 7th & 18th
Number of Players: 58, 44 & 46 Total: 148
Current City Takes: 1 from Confetti Family, 1 city from KAOS, 1 from Sons Family
Colour: Green
They are twenty players down from 6 days ago, and more than enough cities down to safely say they are not a massive contender. Poor leadership is probably the biggest issue here, perhaps if they had a leader that read the map and made wise choices instead of spending more time on the forum than he does doing diplomacy. I’m thinking we will be seeing a decline again in a weeks’ time as more lose their cities or abandon ship. Grouping is probably the worst out of the entire top 12 and that’s taking into consideration True Fear have cities in ocean 11. When you overlay Thermo and Confetti on the map the interesting thing is they are almost identical. Confetti are going at them hard and will not stop until they're gone. To all but Criki I wish the best of luck.

For the most part tightly grouped but could improve massively. They still aren’t being challenged enough for my liking. My biggest issue with this group was done here in this forum. DonP just a few pages back complained about the entire world cuddling then merged with LoD, though he seems to believe that is not the case. Truth is he took in the ones that could be of some use, left the edible one and the ones who refused or perhaps those who were a little too hard to handle. Those who know him will all admit Kurbads. Is a prized wingnut I can understand why he wasn’t amongst those taken. I’m thinking that so far Sons have only really op’d LoD and instead when the going got tough they merged. Killing browns and smaller alliances does not a warrior make. They are having skirmishes not wars. Hypocrite alert is needed here. I don’t see them as lasting to the end of the world, nor do I consider them a contender for domination. When real alliances come to fight that is when their test shall truly begin. Although Bravo on now having the handsomest Tom on the server.

VELHA GUARDA
Current Position: 4th
As Attackers: 3rd
As Defenders: 16th
Number of Players: 55
Current City Takes: 3 from Fail
Colour: Purple
From what I can tell these players haven’t really been fighting anyone of consequence, nor have they been properly tested yet. I’m still reserving judgement as it could be they are just sitting back and waiting for the opportunity to fight. Which as a team that doesn’t know most the big names on this board is probably the wisest play they could make at this point. We will see what the future brings, their grouping is weak, they have some cities grouped but they are fanned out across ocean 54.

The Blame Game
Current Position: 5th
As Attackers: 4th
As Defenders: 8th
Number of Players: 55
Current City Takes: 3 from KAOS, 10 from Thermo Family,
Colour: Yellow
Grouping is strong, some players have gone off on their own which is not a huge surprise for this alliance since it is filled with BP lovers no doubt setting up bp traps, still considerably smaller than some of the other alliances along this route. Fighting Thermo, appear to be winning, so perhaps there is some cuddling going on with Confetti, or perhaps not. We shall see. It’s an awkward one to say whether I think they stand a chance at domination. This group is one of those that could go either way and definitely one to watch.
