Another week has passed in Sidon and the week has been a juicy one filled with pacts, merges, the defeat of a major team, and some familiar faces making their way back into the rankings. But first, as usual, the world chat continues to grow and you should help it continue to grow! Its a mostly friendly community with some banter and trash talk, we're closing in on 200 members so stop by and enjoy link below. Now for the rankings.

1) Fluffy Pigeons/Fluffy Kittens- They've effectively defeated Hugs/Slap and it looks like they've done so with ease by a score of 61-1. They're also defeating the Raptor Empire by a score of 18-0. But they have randomly lost 10 cities to the Gold Trading team. Likely the player was out of position but getting people into position the first time falls on Fluffy Pigeons. They have some problems with rostering players that can be bantered for 8+ hours daily. Its an easy fix but if it continues I gotta penalize them, especially since the bantering player is in FRANK.
World Status: Contender
2) FRANK- Winning its war vs the Raptor Empire by a score of 43-2 with one more Raptor in siege. They're defeating Black by a score of 3-0. They a stole the temple of Abdera in O45, which grants a 10% offensive boost to light ships out from under the Raptor Empire. They can safely boast that they're the cleanest team in terms of conquests right now.
World Status: Contender
3) Just For Laughs- Smile, they're back in the top 3. Rebounded heavily after a rough start to their Watchers war. Watchers still exist and likely always will, but Just For Laughs no longer has to worry about having an actual competition with them which moves them up. But having extensive knowledge of Watchers means that I can't ignore the fact that they struggled early either and this team needs to continue to build on their success to rise. However they likely will climb back into first as they begin to encroach on the Smoking Snakes. Early trash talk has flown from Charlie already about how he doesn't view them as a major alliance worthy of being ranked above them. So I think he'll try to stick a knife in them soon and reclaim that top spot. The question is if we're over looking the Snakes a bit here or if Just For Laughs will make short work of them.
World Status: Contender
4) Smoking Snakes- They've been mainly fighting the Twisted alliances who they're beating by a score of 18-1 and have stolen a temple from them in the O54 Mesembria portal to Olympus. Its not a bad start for them. They've coming into contact with Just For Laughs and this will likely make or break their server and status in the world. They seem pretty proud about their standing and being considered as being able to run with the big dogs of the server. They'll also have the opportunity to catapult themselves into first in the coming days and weeks.
World Status: Contender
5) Raptor Empire: The Raptor Pack, THE OLYMPIANS, Olympians Too, WOLVES Aye We, Fractured Mollys, Fractured Tomb Raiders, Fractured Marvins, Eviction Notice, The Watchers*, The Watcher's.*, The Watcher's*- They've done it again by adding the Watchers into the group and appearing to ally the Twisted family as they're now showing up to sieges. Though it seems the Watchers merge isn't as solidifed as it appears on paper. The Watchers and Sema confirmed that The Watchers teams did in fact join into the Raptor Empire and immediately used that boost to declare that they will now be able to fight and defeat Just For Laughs...But its been reported that nobody consulted the actual Raptors about this and the deal was done by the Fractured and Eviction Notice teams. Which leads to the question of if the internal power within this empire is shifting if the Fractured teams no longer feel the need to consult the Raptors. If so, don't expect it to shift back, the Watchers and Fractured teams have a long history together. Still they continue to add players and have a position over half the map now and you really can't ignore that. The war records for are as follows: 22-11 to Zero Drama, 8-2 with Black, 2-43 to FRANK, 0-18 to Fluffy Pigeons. Now we'll turn the floor over to our corespondent @Waingro for how all of this is wrong and how Raptors dominates FRANK and the Fluffy Teams.
World Status: Contender
6) No Drama/Zero Drama Zone- 11-22 vs the Raptor Empire. This alone wouldn't make them a top 6 team but due to a combination of the other teams that could compete for the spot joining the Raptor Empire. They mainly make it this high up because they're not totally embarrassing themselves and have a pact with the Fluffy Alliances.
World Status: Client Kingdom of Fluffy
7) Gold Traders- Took 10-1 with the Fluffy Alliances, isolated towns it appears but that's Fluffy's fault. They also control 3 temples, which would lead one to believe that they're playing for a little more than gold.
World Status: Rim Kingdom
8) Undisciplined/Illdisciplined- Defeating Twisted/More Twisted/Retribution by a score of 3-2, 0-5 to Just For Laughs, 0-1 to Smoking Snakes, 0-7 vs The Fluffy Alliances.
World Status: Rim Kingdom
9) Twisted/More Twisted/Retribution- They have recently added Retribution to their growing kingdom, however they had the O54 Mesembria small temple, which is a portal to Olympus, stolen right out from under them by Smoking Snakes. They're currently losing to Smoking Snakes by a score of 1-18. They're also down by a score of 2-31 to Just For Laughs, though important to note that a lot of the scores came during the early days of Retribution.
World Status: Declining Power
10) Black- They're 2-8 with the Raptor Empire and 0-3 to FRANK. Its not a terrible run for them all things considered and they're not in the worst spot. So they're moving up this week.
World Status: Rising Power
11) Relentless/Relentless II- They return to the top power rankings mainly by the merit or lack of merit of the other alliances. They're losing to everybody but they've outlasted Hugs/Slap and don't appear to be the main focus of the Fluffy alliances or the Raptor Empire for the time being. They're 2-5 to Raptor Empire and 0-7 to Fluffy.
World Status: Rim Kingdom
12) Creed/Creed II- Rebranding the second branch doesn't help them much. They may or may not retain their pact with Watchers for the time being, but with Watchers being integrated into the Raptor Empire, I'm not sure Watchers will have the freedom to hang onto the Creed pact. Which further spells doom for them along with their hammering at the hands of Just For Laughs.
