Tiny Teddies- Best average, most abp, they're going to go far.
Templar Knights- MRA. Besides one of the most common MRA names, the fact that theyr have much more dpb than abp says a lot.
R.O.M.A.N.S.- MRA. Not enough bp for their rank, and making enemies with TT is a one-way ticket to their demise.
Death Faction- Really? I had enough of these guys in Ephesus. You should honestly never name an alliance after yourself. Way to little abp, really low average, MRA.
-HaVoC- Don't really know what to make of them. High average, pretty good in bp, it's really up to the leadership on whether they succeed or fail.
Musketeers- Seem to be like -HaVoC- to me. Need better abp, but have a good average and if the leadership is good they may be able to pull something off.
Alpha Centuri- Can't say much about them because they are from 056 so bp has just began and they're my new sister alliance.
THE HORDE- They aren't necessarily horrible however they'll be wiped out by the stronger competition.
Gods of War- MRA. Ridiculous amount of staff and part of the MRA group, otherwise know as "Bad Boys Coalition".
Arrow To The Knee- Pretty nice average, high up there in abp, it'll be interesting to see if they can take their other ocean 55 opponents.
Carpe Jugulum- They're the top alliance in ocean 54, however they have a low average and barely any bp. Probably an MRA.
Warriors of Asgard- MRA. Simple as that.
Infectious State- While it's true they have some top members, I doubt they'll pull off anything special.
Armageddon- Great average and abp. They will go far.
Corsairs- Seem like an MRA. Not 100% sure though.
Summary- They top 15 are still filled with MRAs. While they take up most of the top spots, a fewer lower ranked alliances definitely have potential to replace them. I guarantee you in a couple of weeks the list will be a lot different.
Tiny Teddies - I am impressed to be honest. If they keep this up, they will stay around for a while.
R.O.M.A.N.S - Ehhh...so/so average. Fighting Teddies so I think this MRA will be gone within a couple weeks.
Templar Knights - MRA. Part of the "Bad Boy Coalition" LOL. One of their members has already declared war on ATTK. Funny if you ask me. Reminds me of Phalanx Power on Delphi. Guaranteed these guys will fall. Actually, I hope they do as this is where the Jetteftw impostor landed....
Death Faction - Another garbage MRA that's part of the Coalition. See above...
-HaVoC- - Decent average. Decent location. I'm saying these guys will be OK if they can get rid of their dead weight.
Musketeers - Nice average, but low ABP. Either they are over-pacted or just lack aggressiveness. If they fix either of those things, they will be OK.
Alpha Centuri - MRA, horrible average, but in O56 so I think they will be unless they try to move into a core ocean.
Gods Of War - Another MRA that is part of the Coalition.....man this really reminds me of Delphi.
THE HORDE - So-so average. I don't think they will be able to contend in O55. Props for kicking that impostor Jetteftw out though.
Arrow To The Knee - Nice average, but I will not toot this horn too much since I am a member.
Warriors Of Asgard - Worst average in the top 15. MRA written all over it.
Carpe Jugulum - Another MRA....
Infectious State - Nothing promising here...
Armageddon - Watch these guys. I'm glad I'm not in O44 and hoping someone wipes them out before they get to O55
Conclusion - This world is filled with noob-ish MRA's that will do nothing but feed the real alliances out there. The fact that a coalition has already been formed from 4 alliances that have ZERO conquer ability is a tad-bit sad IMO.
It's time for my analysis seeings how somebody locked my reserved thread -_-
1) Tiny Teddies- It's looking like Phi all over again... Can't ague with the fact that they are an extraordinary alliance.
2) Templar Knights- To be quite honest I'm tired of seeing the name templar pop up everywhere, play assassins creed and you will never support them again. Now back on topic, your typical MRA. Part of this famous "Coalition of Bad Boys" which makes me chuckle every time i say the name
3) R.O.M.A.N.S.- Second highest ammount of members in the top 15. Not a great average.
4) Death Faction- Seems to be an exact copy of Death Legion if you ask me, only it's hard to replicate firelord's character
5) -HaVoC- - Can't find much to complain about alliance wise, but I personally dislike alliances that write about how elite they are in their alliance profile.
6) Musketeers - My own alliance, so I can't give much of an analysis based on the fact that it may be biased. One of the best groups I've ever been with and I love every second of it.
7) Alpha Centuri - "About as far away as the real Alpha Centuri" is a quote that perfectly describes this alliance.
8) Gods of War - Another member of the Coalition of Bad Boys. That pretty much implies that they are MRA. Also, their pact allowance is a bit out there..
9) THE HORDE - So this is the famous horde that everyone was recieving mails about. They don't have too many members and they have a decent point average so I can't really complain, but if you read their profile it says "strength in numbers" which would lead you to think they are an MRA... Oh well, it seems they are not.
10) Arrow to the Knee - In my opinion this looks like a very good alliance. Phears seems to be a good leader, and they have the second lowest amount of members in the top 15. Good job Phears, a pat on the back to you.
11) Warriors of Asgard - Looks like an MRA, but today is the first time i've heard of them so I may be wrong. Low point average
12) Carpe Jugulum - Not too shabby, aren't the best but aren't the worst. Best keep an eye on them for a bit.
13) Infectious State - Looks like your average alliance, no opinion on them at the moment
14) Armageddon- Looks like a very very good alliance. In my ocean, i'm going to have to watch these guys. I recognize a lot of there players.
15) Beta Centuri - So Alpha Centuri wasn't enough, you had to go make a Beta Centuri as well. I'm not sure that the alliances are connected, as their profiles say nothing that would lead you to that conclusion. Aren't a threat to anyone who started early on, way farther then the real and grepo Alpha Centuri.
Well since i am bored might as well do another one. This time ill add some statistics.
Tiny Teddies
Avg Points - 2284
Avg ABP - 347
Avg TBP - 442
Point lead on rank 2 - 38765
Rank 1 for a reason. Will stay this way until someone can step their game up to our level.
Templar Knights
Avg Points - 1473
Avg ABP - 39
Avg TBP - 121
Point lead on Rank 3 - 830
Shocking bp ratio for this stage of the game. will really need to get out there if they want to be a force. you don't win this game by defending. Out of the top alliances though they are at this stage an avg one. Deserve to be on the boards but not this high.
R.O.M.A.N.S
Avg Points - 1263
Avg ABP - 35
Avg TBP - 53
Point lead on rank 4 - 171
nothing going good for them at this stage. all i see here is sim city players really. Bye bye in a months time for them. Must say i have seen some good players with them though. not enough to do any good though
Death Faction
Avg Points - 1168
Avg ABP - 26
Avg TBP - 52
Point lead on rank 5 - 6002
Same as romans except no good players with them
-HaVoC-
Avg Points - 1458
Avg ABP - 84
Avg TBP - 142
Point lead on rank 6 - 1541
Definitely one of the top 5 alliances on the server at this stage (not saying much due to the competition but an acheivement none the less). Got some good things going for them, some bad things as well. Have shown some degree of coordination. They will show what they are fully capable of once conquest starts.
Musketeers
Avg Points - 1724
Avg ABP - 22
Avg TBP - 27
Point lead on rank 7 - 1399
Statistically they look like sim city players especially with their locations. However looks can be decieving. These guys are undoubtedly the 2nd best alliance in this server after Tiny Teddies. I know some of these players personally and lets just say anyone who underestimates them will be surprised when they end up on the rim.
Alpha Centuri
Avg Points - 1133
Avg ABP - 18
Avg TBP - 19
Point lead on rank 8 - 8000
MRA for sure. Seems like they are trying to recruit the whole of the SE rim. at this rate they may do it lol. If so i look forward to those unguarded transport attacks later. Stats are bad but to be expected for a MRA rim alliance.
Gods Of War
Avg ABP - 22
Avg TBP - 38
Point lead on rank 9 - 115
Nothing special here. another sub par alliance that wont amount to anything.
Carpe Jugulum
Avg Points - 1131
Avg ABP - 12
Avg TBP - 15
Point lead on rank 10 - 13461
Similar to Musketeers. May look bad but with no competition in their ocean they have some real promise to shape up. I say give em a month or two and see where they are at and they may surprise you all.
THE HORDE
Avg Points - 1277
Avg ABP - 32
Avg TBP - 57
Point lead on rank 11 - 10537
Got a bad rep early on from certain events. At this stage i don't see them amounting to anything on this server. Bad position and not enough drive here.
Warriors Of Asgard
Avg Points - 760
Avg ABP - 2
Avg TBP - 12
Point lead on Rank 12 - 2070
MRA. nothing more to be said
Arrow To The Knee
Avg Points - 1615
Avg ABP - 100
Avg TBP - 156
Point Difference between rank 12 and rank 1 - 82891
Statistically they are looking decent. Situationally they are in a very bad place. First alliance to get a NAP with TT and they break it in the first 24 hours with a sneak attack. *shakes head*. Unless this is a move of brilliance far superior to mine it may be the stupidest move on the server yet considering nearly every other alliance that i know of has been trying to get some form of diplomacy with TT. time will tell if it was the right or wrong thing to do however.
Sumary
Few alliances has showed they have what it takes on this server yet but they still have time to do so. Interesting to see how closely pack they are in points. Once conquesting starts some alliances are going to drop like flys out of there. TT has really set the standard when it comes to avgs especially the ABP one. Closest to them is only 1/3 of their avg and the rest are all between the 1/6 to 1/10 mark.
EDIT: for a laugh look at what alliances make up the BB coalition.
Bad Boys Coalition
1-GODS OF WAR
2-THEMPLAR KNIGHTS
3-DEATH FACTION
4-ALLIANCE OF TAURUS.
Alliance of Taurus was not in the top 12 but ill just ignore them for now. It is a very funny thing to watch after seeing the kind of statistics they have. A trend of shocking ABP averages seems to appear and all their BP ratio's are shocking. All under 60% ABP at this stage of the game is bad. From a quick look Alliance of Taurus looks like its the second best of the lot however, they may have small points but they seem to be aggressive.
I have my moments. It will be very interesting to compare this to another one i do in like a months time. That will be a good messure of growth and progress etc
Arrow To The Knee
Avg Points - 1615
Avg ABP - 100
Avg TBP - 156
Point Difference between rank 12 and rank 1 - 82891

It is a shame that we could not hold the NAP, however demands (and commands) from your leadership were absolutely unreasonable and egotistic. We could have been a good team. ATTK is in an interesting spot without the NAP so it will be something to look forward to if TT can live up to the hype when the time comes.
Give the boys in Alphi Centuri the time to train the new players. This group will surprise a few for sure when the time comes.
I know at least 1 of our members is a former PV member so it should be interesting.
Overall a great alliance. Rank 1 in O55 and Rank 2 in O45. 30 less members but still 60k points ahead of rank 2 and a higher avg points than Armageddon (2nd highest in avg points) with double the member count. A very very strong and experienced leadership team. We will be around for the next 2-3 months easy. Completely dominating the ABP ranks though.
Alpha Centuri
Avg Points: 3249
Avg ABP: 286
An alliance with pro's and cons. Got a handful of good players at this stage and seem to have an alright avg. better than most so i see them staying in rank 2 for quite a while. Could be better if they shed a bit of dead weight but we may see some improvement in the next week or so. Don't know the leadership so will be interesting to see how things play out.
Carpe Jugulum
Avg Points: 3266
Avg ABP: 157
Slow but strong describes them at this stage i think. Strong growth and rising abp stats. Seems like they will have control of o54 once they start conquering more. My previous predictions about them rising in the ranks were correct as well. I see them holding a top 5 spot for another month at least still and most likely longer.
Musketeers
Avg Points: 4137
Avg ABP: 226
Surprised they don't have more ABP at this stage. Maybe a sleeping lion here? maybe not. Will have to give em a little more time till we see their what they are made of. Not as aggressive as i expected though.
Beta Centuri
avg points: 2595
Avg ABP: 99
Ok can someone confirm for me are these guys a branch of Alpha or not? If they are its the far worse of part. I am assuming they are due to having basically the same name. Bad avgs and with an alliance like Grimm Sleepers sharing an ocean with them i won't be surprised if they fall apart inside a month.
Immortal Corruption
Avg Points: 2279
Avg ABP: 80
they got a branch so yawn. Definitely a common characteristic MRA here. Wont last long at all.
Shadow Hawks
Avg Points: 2879
Avg ABP: 142
Yawn, Don't expect them to last to long. will eventually collapse and crumble .
THE HORDE
Avg Points: 2950
Avg ABP: 218
Statistically looking alright (ish), situationally they are in a bad spot. I expect them to be picked off by TT over time. Sharing an ocean with an aggressive alliance like TT will take its toll over time.
Skyrim Knights
Avg Points: 1980
Avg ABP: 53
Terrible stats. Don't see them amounting to anything in the future.
Arrow To The Knee
Avg Points: 3595
Avg ABP: 388
One of the better alliances out there for sure. the conquesting stage has started for most players in the core now. So i expect things to start heating up soon in O55 with all the alliances there.
Armageddon
Avg Points: 5324
Avg ABP: 722
Definitely one of the best alliances out there. great stats and good position it seems. The most anticipated Ocean is definitely O44 for me atm with two top alliances there
Masters of Mayhem
Avg points: 2972
Avg ABP: 109
Don't really see a future for them.
Summery
Some alliances have stepped up and made something of themselves while some haven't got round to it yet. Give it another couple of weeks for the core oceans to be cleaned out and this will be a much different looking top 12 i would say
PS: lets all take a moment to laugh at the BB coalition. We all called what a failiure it would be and we were all right.
Man it seems nearly all of my predictions are coming true lol. Grim taking out beta, Cj staying a top 5 alliance (called that form the start), Alpha shedding the dead weight. If i keep this up ill be like an oracle of gythium
