1- Evolution of Death: An alliance that holds the #1 spot, but it is not totally earned by just the 30 members in the alliance. Pacts and sister alliances have taken the abundance of threats out of the picture and allowed the #1 cancer to grow
2- Legion of Death: Another alliance that deals in diplomacy to gain stats. The lack of enemies allows for members to build super sim cities without worry of enemies.
3- Legion of Bastrds: Well, guess the diplomacy that FE decided to take was too much for those who jumped from LOB to FE. So hats off to LOB for jumping from FE due to the diplo. That is truly music to my ears
4- Fully Equipped V: Well due to the departure of members from the FE clan due to diplo, I say that FE's diplo and the end result speaks for itself
5- Retribution of Death: A sister alliance to the #1 alliance. Guess they feel that being under the #1 alliance is acceptable instead of fighting for the #1 spot. Shame to see the worry of possibly loosing cities warrants the lack of initiative to actually wanna try to be #1
6- Chaos 1: Well these dudes/dudettes have had multiple sister alliances since the start, but now the profile says no more pacts. I say that is awesome, unless it is due to the fact that there are no other alliances to PACT
7- Grumpy Trools: Well shame to see an alliance that promotes being unhappy
Maybe the allaince needs to be called
Super Trolls, grumpy trolls is just unhappy
Actually, looking at the stats they seem to be taking more cities from other alliances than internals. But they dont show PACT's so it may not be an accomplishment that was well earned:heh:
8- Uprising Vendetta: Had quite a few players jump ship, but taking cities from other alliances
But again they fail to show PACT's so is it earned or easy takings cause they have no enemies close by
I am gonna stop there, the next 4 are either sister alliances or have sister alliances so I dont feel that the rankings the have are actually earned from being strategic players, but moreso players who see a possible threat and befriend them
This is just my opinion on the world, it may be totally wrong but it is how I see it. Way too many alliances choose ranking stats over actual battle stats. I know I am a turtle and I have no foot to stand on as far as battles are concerned, but I can say for sure I have not asked another alliance to keep me safe. But I have been at the top of the rankings in other worlds and when I was at the top we had 0 PACT's in our alliance so I know it can be done if the effort is applied. But also this is a game that should be played to have fun, so if PACT'ing is how the game is made enjoyable, then thats cool. But those who PACT should be humble to others since their rankings were not earned from them being a strategic alliance, but an alliance that be-friended possible threats.
