I think it's time for me to do my monthly update... lol.
1 - The Rim Team: A combination of the best from The Horns of Niflheim and TRT itself. Standing proud at the top spot, having lost 2 key leaders, Geminius & Storarus... Grey333 and the other leaders are keeping TRT strong, organised and active in every way. There growth seems to have slowed down a little due to others leaving as well but they will keep there rank & ABP rank for a while yet. Will HARPOON catch up to them though? Only time will tell and will HARPOON face them eventually? Not now but maybe in the short future. That will surely keep this world alive. My prediction for TRT, is they maintain there position while giving LoL everything they have in the north.
2 - HARPOON: HARPOON... I don't know what to say about this alliance, they have the top point ranking players in there alliance and hold the best alliance average but I haven't even seen them fight any great wars. They're keeping to themselves while holding a NAP (I think) with TRT. They're fighting a few alliances but they don't seem to be fighting any major battles, you can see that by looking at there ADBP. But overall they seem like a decent alliance. There growth seems pretty good, will they over-take TRT? Maybe. I would like to see them battle it out for the core with TRT, that will definitely keep both sides on there toes.
3 - Land of Lunacy: Lunatics. Haha. Well, these guys hold a very strong position in the north of Edessa and seem to be holding there ground well. They are holding there own against TRT, WoE, Bacchus & TRJ. There alliance seems to be strongly organised, for them to be defending against there enemies. You can see this by looking at there ADBP, #2. At least these guys are making the world interesting. Will they be able to hold off much longer though? And can they counter-attack mainly against TRT to gain some ground in the core of Edessa? Possibly, but at the moment, they're fortifying there position.
4 - Independent OUTCASTS: A mix of the best from independent states and the OUTCASTS alliance. These guys I don't exactly know a lot about but there growth seems to be good, they seem to hold a good position in the south of Edessa along with there allies in Asgard. I don't think they're doing a lot at the moment, I think they may need to get involved in a major war soon otherwise there players will just leave with boredem.
5 - Asgard: Allied with IO above, they hold a strong position in Ocean 56, just north of there close allies. Looking at there conquests... they don't really seem to be involved in any major wars either and like I said above, they need to have a major war soon before people get to bored. If them and IO wasn't so close, then that will be very entertaining for both sides to fight. Other than that, there BP seems to be quite poor but as I already mentioned, there not in any good wars...
6 - The Rim Jobs: Formerly known as THON, a mix of THON & TRT. Basically TRT's wing, not academy. Good players there, very good BP but there growth seems to be slow as players are either moving about from TRT or just quitting. Other than that, they are assisting TRT with there assault against LoL, seems to be making good progress. I personally think that TRJ won't be around for that long, a while yet but not that long. We will see soon enough
7 - Misfits of Hades: I haven't got a clue about these guys. All I know is there ABP, DBP or even there Total BP is extremely poor for there rank. By the looks of it they aren't involved in any major wars except for a war against MAYATOPIA, a much smaller alliance. I can't predict there future as it isn't all that clear but I think they're having a skirmish against HARPOON? But that's about it, sorry.
8 - Warriors of Eta: My alliance, led by a council of veterans from Eta. Don't want to be biased, but we're mainly fighting Land of Lunacy in Ocean 44, we have decent overall BP with much more room to improve. That'll be all.
9 - INVICTUS: I assume they're allied with LoL against TRT & TRJ as they're fighting them alongside there close allies of Ark Angels. They're doing everything they can to hold Ocean 64 against TRT's assault but how long can they hold out for? I predict for a while yet, they may even outlast TRT if they manage to hold them off repeatedly.
10 - True Fear of Hades: I assume these guys are a sister alliances of Misfits of Hades. There total BP seems to be poor and only seems to be in a war against MAYATOPIA which they're winning due to them and there sister alliance outnumbering them both in Strength and numbers. Other than that, I have little info on them...
11 - Apocalypse: Been here for a while now and have been at war with the powers in the north, mainly LoL. They're assisting there allies TRT in there assault against the enemy Land of Lunacy. Been sitting comfortably in the core for a long time now, but will they still be here by the end of Summer? I'm not to sure, I don't think this alliance will last for that much longer. They have good ABP though, so good luck to them.
12 - South East Alliance: A Japanese alliance sitting in the south east corner of Edessa, allied to Bacchus which is a Jap alliance too. I don't have anything good to say about SEA, there BP is poor, they aren't involved in any major wars and I think they will just stay out of any major conflicts for the time being.
That is all, my opinion
