Top Alliances & Statistics: Nymeria: Members: 58/60 Points: #1 Offensive Battlepoints: #1 Defensive Battlepoints: #2 Overall Battlepoints: #1 Synopsis: Like the famous western gunslinger Jhon Whane, they always shoot to kill. Nym. tipped the scale in their favor, with OPs on the 6-7th, 13-14th, and on the 22-24th they took the lead in the war. Spoiler: The Legendary Rider was on their side Nameless: Members: 49/60 Points: #2 Offensive Battlepoints: #2 Defensive Battlepoints: #1 Overall Battlepoints: #2 Synopsis: Similar to Nymeria's inactivity issues last month, this time it was Nameless's turn. With at least 4 players being internalized, two ghosting(One who had 60+ cities), an abundant amount of inactives and ghosts led to a rocky road this month, along with one player choosing to move over to Nymeria. Spoiler: Inactives! Woohoo NO NAME: Members: 55/60 Points: #3 Offensive Battlepoints: #3 Defensive Battlepoints: #6 Overall Battlepoints: #4 Synopsis: On the 2nd and 3rd they decided to OP illumina3 of Legions of Moloch which led was an outstanding!! success, causing the Legions to dissolve on the 8th.

Despite a full month of eating ghosts and inactives, there are still plenty left, but I have no doubt that they can wrap it up this month. Spoiler: They were secretly holding back The Wraith: Members: 51/60 Points: #5 Offensive Battlepoints: #10 Defensive Battlepoints: #12 Overall Battlepoints: #10 Synopsis: Obviously the best alliance to be in, *cause I'm in it!

Spoiler: Man vs Machine Misfits & Nondescripts: Members: 28/60 Points: #9 Offensive Battlepoints: #48 Defensive Battlepoints: #20 Overall Battlepoints: #27 Synopsis: On the 8th, Legions of Moloch was officially dissolved. Following the dissolved Legions, 7 players transferred to NO NAME, of which included players in leadership positions.

5. Lunch Break One of the two TOP SECRET Questions I asked each alliance representative was about their choice of lunch. To pay homage to the January Issue where we looked at different breakfast choices, this time I decided to visit the next most important meal of the day! The Prompt: Your friend is visiting from out of town, and has chosen a restaurant to meet you at for lunch. Before being given the menu, a server approaches and tells you and your friend, "What would you like to order? Our chef can cook anything your heart desires." Q: Please choose an order(It must include something to eat, as well as drink) 1)Nymeria A big plate of Pelmeni, which is a long time favorite of mine paired with a glass of wodka. 2)Nameless A Chicken liver pate to start. For the main course, a Duck breast with a scrumptious plum sauce, paired with a fine merlot. For desert, a chocolate brownie with cream sauce. 3)No Name Sushi and Sashimi with a bottle of Greco di Tufo (Italian) Wine. 4)Phoenix Reborn Spicy Beef Noodle Soup "PHO" with Coconut Water 5)The Wraith Shawarma with Sangria, it shows how everything from different cultures can come together. 6)No Name Ringers Spear-Fished Octopus, dried in the sun and grilled with fresh bread, tzatziki with a greek salad, and at least three cold Heinekens. 7)The Black Knights As Greek Mythology goes, Ambrosia and Nectar. It's the perfect meal to continue fighting on the battlefield, even if the war goes on for another couple decades. 9)Misfits and Nondescripts For a starter, I'd like olives with a slice or two of ciabatta bread. The main course would consist of a salmon fillet with new potatoes, baby carrots and green beans with a buttery sauce. Lemon Cheesecake for dessert! For a drink, I'd choose a bottle of the very best Merlot as good food needs good wine!
6. The Songs of Amisos In order to better understand the world of Amisos, I asked each alliance representative to submit a track to share with everyone. Here are there responses. 1)Nymeria Spoiler: Panzer Battalion by Sabaton 2)Nameless Spoiler: Hurt by Johnny Cash 3)No Name Spoiler: Corporate Cannibal by Grace Jones 4)Phoenix Reborn Spoiler: The Good Die Young by The Divinyls 5)The Wraiths Spoiler: Thunder by Imagine Dragons
6. The Songs of Amisos Continued 6)No Name Ringers Spoiler: Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 7)The Black Knights Spoiler: Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Lorde 9)Misfits and Nondescripts. Spoiler: The Blacksmith Stomp by the Noble Jacks

nice job on the newspaper once again. Everyone post your favorite song of the ones submitted below . my favorite song has to be the Nymeria one, for multiple reasons: 1. It works realy well if you take the context of the song and match it with the recent events (nymeria(usa/uk) beating nameless(Iraq), so the video works perfect for that: 2. Sabaton is my favorite band/artist 3. I chose it (some good old narcissism never hurts ) I vote for adding the song choices every month, and then let people vote for their favorite song. Alliances are not allowed the pick the same song twice to keep the variation going.
