Sink and Swim Chapter 3
Good evening, I hope everyone is staying safe during the pandemic.
Here is the third chapter of my sink and swim series for you all, since everyone seems to be enjoy it and, I am happy to do them for you all! Thank you for staying civil and for all the nice comments in the previous chapters, really does my confidence some good!
A lot has changed very quickly, during our journeys of en126 as most of you have noticed. I myself, have joined a group which will also be featured in the top 10 alliances.
As always, please don’t slate me for my poor grammar, and spelling.
I hope you all enjoy the read, and I hope this little chapter makes you think more than anything, about the upcoming events to this world. I will make sure you feel confused and question your sanity when it comes to giving you potential predictions, which at the same time could be facts! So, grab your brew, your wine, your coffee, whatever it is you are drinking and enjoy the read, because let me tell you, it’s going to be a long one!
Check Mate – Swim/Win.
Here we are again, talking about our lovely chess lovers, and once again nothing changes at all. I believe this group has the best potential of winning the world. Currently, I believe they’re in the best position in comparison to any other alliance on this world when it comes to positioning, showing presence in all four core oceans. Spirits falling apart most definitely, benefited Check Mate more than any other alliance, allowing them to enter 55 without any issues, slaughtering the remains of Spirits, splitting the city count between themselves and Stooges. They also picked up and excellent player, Mark which is also a bonus.
Check Mate is most definitely, in the best position over any other alliance in en126. Not only they picked up a lot of cities from their successful OP against spirits, they are also the dominant force when it comes to offensive statistics, as well as controlling the center of the most important boarders in the world. Having cities in 44/55/54 gives Check the upper hand over anyone else in the world as it currently stands. Also, we can see Check is also showing interest in 45 now, and has gained 21 cities so far which again, links back to the “x” control.
I believe Check will be with us till the very end, and they’re likely to win the world if nothing changes. Some of their players are also thinking ahead, gaining cities in odd oceans in case such as 53, incase the domination drop surprises us all. There isn’t any negativity when it comes to this group, at least from my point of view. I’m sure Papa would disagree, but when it comes to strategy and teamwork, this group is what comes to mind for me. Amazing leadership, this is the only other group I would like to see win, besides my beloved Stooges.
Shoutout to DrunkenTyrant, remember to execute order 66, you know what that means, and it might drive people reading this insane .
Nemesis: Swim
Our beloved Nemesis, still here going strong and doing really well for themselves, dominating the home of 44 with their other half, Kleos. Its no secret that ocean 44 seems rather cuddly in the eyes of some, but that really isn’t the case in my opinion. Those 2 worked together since the very beginning, and their teamwork has proven to be very successful, hence why most of the competitors in 44 have died out due to their successful operations. However, after doing my research, it seems like Nemesis hasn’t really backed up Kleos during their OP against Elites and the operation was rather unsuccessful in total. Nemesis may also have trouble heading their way soon enough, from ocean 45 to be more specific, and perhaps Stooges due to their interesting life decisions lately. As it stands, Nemesis are definitely, swimming and it’s up to their decision making whether they will remain that way. A lot of tension has been building up, and there are a few groups who I believe can cause some damage if Nem is caught of guard. However, with their excellent leadership, even if things were to turn south, they are likely to hold their own and to remain the dominant force in 44, as long as there are smart with their decision making.
Kebbe: Float
A new face appears in our top 10, which proves to be quite exciting, but at the same time, causes a lot of trouble as well. I am briefly aware of their plans, which I will most definitely, discuss with yous to some extent. 45 has proven to be rather peaceful, in this case, too peaceful and from my understanding some people really dislike that idea, Kebbe’s to be exact. Kebbes is a group which is fed up of sitting quietly and are looking to cause some trouble elsewhere. As for the location, I am going to keep my mouth shut, and let you, the reader think about their next moves. With that being said, ocean 45 seems super divided right now, and it gives other alliances a chance to step in. Seems like the Spirit history is repeating itself in a way, and 45 is becoming rather open, which is exactly why I’m giving them a float status. The divide between Animal Farm and Kebbe can be damaging, especially if the groups are no longer working together to keep 45 in “Check”.
Stooges: Swim
As many of you know, Stooges is my home, which means that obviously, I am going to be bios towards my own group. Due to the nature of me playing with Stooges, I will only share facts, and some options, based on our positioning. In addition, I might throw in a couple of things that might make you think about us in a different way, and maybe a few things to throw you off completely to make if way more fun since I’ve had a fair amount of people, trying to get information out of me. If you are that person, enjoy the read and I hope we, Stooges make your mind go crazy.
As you all know, our home is ocean 55 and we’re the dominant force here. From statistics, you can see we did Peaky Blinders no favors and same goes for the wild card who proven to be quite inexperienced from our point of view. They also gave us a large amount of points when we stacked Daves cities, and the transports only strategy didn’t work for them too well. I believe, we have the upper hand against them for sure, as we lost 0 cities to them, but you, the reader can judge it yourself.
As you all know we have received a lot of hate and even had a newspaper targeting us as well as Check. I feel like its my duty so speak up and to tell you guys the truth, as I have no hatred towards anyone and I love everybody here, whether you’re the enemy or not. This world has been very tough for me, but Stooges took me in, giving me a chance of becoming part of their amazing family. Just to clear the air, about what was said from Papa’s side, this group is most certainly the opposite to what he said, and Trist specifically is a amazing leader.
Shout out to Puppy, thank you for the invitation to the group, glad I taken you up on the offer to join Stooges and move south, not had this much fun on a world since Nagidos. Really enjoying the 55/45 life with you, and our lovely group! Also, our alliance has the cutest alliance picture!
Kleos: Swim
Good old Kleos, a group while I also have a soft spot for, as there are a lot of people there who enjoy reading my newspapers so thank you for all the kind words! When it comes to Kleos, they’re like the Sister of Nemesis, in my opinion, maybe the better looking one to some extent, or maybe not! Kleos have proven themselves to be a strong ally to Nemesis back in the days, when it came to fighting Beach Party. However, going back to the Elites situation, the support from Nemesis seemed no existent when it came to oping them. Some of you may think, perhaps Nemesis doesn’t want to work with Kleos anymore? Personally, I don’t think that’s the case at all. I strongly believe, Kleos is focusing on Elites while Nemesis is moving elsewhere. Essentially, Kleos is working on taking cities in 44, building up their home, while Nemesis expands elsewhere, giving Kleos and Nemesis the advantage of having presence in multiple oceans, setting up for domination. I do believe Kleos will be here for a long long time, and Nemesis wouldn’t turn on them anytime soon, because it would only benefit their other competitors such as Check Mate, who already are in 44.
Animal Farm: Float/Sink
Here we are, visiting Animal Farm once again, sadly not in the best positions as we speak. Not long ago, yesterday morning to be exact I would have given them a solid swim, and then the whole Kebbe thing happened. Here is the thing, Animal Farm is likely to stick around for a little while, but not too long, especially if Kebbe separated from them for good. In my opinion, survival of Animal Farm long term, depends on Kebbe. Maybe I got it all wrong, and Kebbe/Animal Farm are still a big family working together on 45, but based on my beliefs I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Kebbes want to fight and spice things up, rather than sit around and wait, for the likes of Check, to win the domination and gaining the upper hand on everyone.
Maybe we’re all just being fooled and it’s their strategy to think they don’t work together anymore; we shall see what the future holds for 45 soon enough.
Shoutout to Lucky and Juju, good to have you both at my alliance in en127, should be a very interesting world, but definitely not as interesting as 126!
