#1 - Quality Over Quantity
"I have a dream of no MRAs" - Sloth Luther King - MICHAEL PHELPS
Quality over Quantity; Rank #1 on Points, #1 on ABP, #3 on DBP and #1 overall. As they are a tight knit group they have to rely on each other quite heavily and it has done nothing but paid off. They have grown quicker than any other alliance and will continue to do so. However due to the recent ban of Queen Viv for 3 days has made people doubt QoQ, but the legitimacy of the ban and the apparent foul play at hand, this problem should be sorted relatively quickly and abdera will resume respectively. As well as this ban on a 'whim', they have been subject to ridicule on externals but have shown in-game they have the balls and determination to keep up at #1. They are clear potential world winners, have secured their core extensively and do have a shot at taking the win on this one. Depends whether they successfully subdue reigning champions. They have been attacking bloods as well, they seem to attack who they want. They have fought off the smaller alliances from 64 and 76 and are continually growing and an exponential rate which I mentioned earlier.
#2/3/10 - Eviction Notice
"Winning" - Charlie Sheen / EN - SWIM GOD DAMN IT
Eviction Notice; including all branches, they are collectively the highest point alliance in the world, they are reigning champions of Grepolis and are known by all to be ruthless, incredibly skilled, powerful and have amazing teamwork. There are many names among them that have crowns and have been with EN for a long period of time, there is a reason why they are EN. That's because they win. Without a doubt EN are potential world winners and have the ability to control the world they have done in previous worlds. However it has been argued that they have a senior mod in their ranks which is against game rules and there is no shortage of people slating them for their strategies; but they get the win in the end that's what they aim for. So they are successful in that right. A month ago, EN was slated for having too many allies, pacting with many of the top 12; however because of the recent breaking of the pact with the blood group they now have 5 enemies in the top 12. More enemies, no pacts; that's what everyone wanted them to do right? Their fight against bloods have been very successful; EN has taken 124 cities off bloods in a week period with bloods taking 57, however 35 of these cities are from Laxbro who he virtually let go, meaning 22 cities were actually taken off EN. No matter how you put it, EN are winning against bloods. QoQ has hit them lately and have taken cities off them, however they have taken cities from QoQ, with about 18 of them being in Oc45, far away from QoQ's core and looks like they almost let them go. Can EN continue to put the pressure on the rest of the world and establish their dominance once again and claim another victory under their belts? I know these guy's are powerhouses, so does everyone; when WW comes it will become apparent of their well laid plans and strategies.

"I don't know what i want! I don't know who i am or who i will be!" - Caitlyn Jenner / Bruce Jenner / Bruce Wayne / I'm the BATMAN - Rubber Dingy
Blood Group - Collectively the 2nd biggest alliance in the world with all their branches included, they are in the core, squished and squashed between every other alliance, they have done very well to last this long, they have the ability to fight and bounce back from a loss, many argue they are here to stay; e.g. Martinus V saying how bloods are becoming better as the 'inactives' are coming lose and the fighters and those that are willing to fight are showing through the huge MRA. Could this mean that bloods will eventually slim down to 2 maybe 3 alliances in a month or two? It would mean they are more elitist and would be filled with their best and skilled players which everyone knows they have. They have done really well to not roll over and collapse and to fight back against EN. However this is where the positives stop, they are rife with inactives that drag the alliance down and these would need to be addressed. They took 35 of laxbro's cities as i previously mentioned out of a total 57 cities taken from EN&Co in a week period. This isn't great as no doubt they were let go as i was in EN at that time and i didn't see any defence posts from him, or that could of just been my young, fully able eyes. They have lost 124 cities to EN, mostly from players who have been good players and ACTIVE for the entirety of the world, this doesn't seem to be slowing down but time will tell. Just can't see them either taking down EN or being taken down completely, this is why i have gave them the rubber dingy sticker as they seem to be happily floating around in 4th, surviving.
Caitlyn Jenner because they switched sides and i think they'd prefer to switch back!
On another note, Rubber Bullets have taken 115 bloody nun cities in Oc56 and bloods have took no cities from them. HMM.. that backfired. Bloody Nuns no longer exists, drained the life out of them while they still could..
#5 - Rubber Bullets (At the time of writing)
"Bob Marley isnt my name. I don't know my name yet." - Bob Marley - Dory from Nemo, always swimming but is very forgetful, especially of her own name
Rubber Bullets/Whoever they are now; Herefordgrl is dory. These guys are here from sinope, not looking to build WW, here for fun and to ruin some people's days and i can see them doing just that. These guys are great friends, great players and great fighters. They are here to attack people and break some WW. Great leadership too, they have obliterated nuns in Oc56 and i can see them doing a fair bit of damage to bloods, where will bloods go? They are surrounded by QoQ, EN and now Rubber Bullets and i don't think there is a weak front. They don't get along with a lot of the world, and seems to stay to themselves, thats probably the only negative thing i can say about them. With them not aiming for any WW, i can't say that they are potential world winners, but i can say they are potential world winner preventers.

RimJob Dolphin
Hammertime; King of the Rim, these guys are north, friendly with EN, not many enemies, seem to be hitting TUATHA, don't know much but they havent taken many cities from them the past week but are however growing rather well. I can see them being a real pain in the bum for someone, they fought off dragon hunters and have earned the title of rimjob kings haha. They have been steadily growing and have earned a rank 6 spot. Not much cohesion with EN contrary to everyone's opinion of them being pacted. Although some affiliation, nothing is cemented.
#9 - Independent
"I'm an independent black woman who don't need no man" - Shaniqua - Float like a butterfly
Independent; These guys are in EN's backyard, they aren't scared of EN and they are only here to have some fun with EN. They aren't here for WW, they are here to have fun like the rest of us should be. They fluctuate in and out of the top 12, however they now seem to have got a comfortable spot now and are continuing to grow despite EN. However i don't think that they have the ability to grow exponentially and become a much bigger alliance without EN's target focusing on them, thats why they are a float.
#12 - TUATHA
"What is this? I can't even" - Drum and Baes - Bathroom Sink
TUATHA; somehow described as a huge MRA, don't see it but may be from a previous world, i know not much of them. Apart from they aren't conquering anything from anyone and can just see them sinking quite heavily when someone focuses on them. Apologies for this brief info of them but if anyone wants me to update it i will by all means!
