OK

I will give my opinion, I dont normally do this but what the hell.

1 - ONE*

Possibly the most talked about alliance, but not always for the right reasons. They have had a variety of good and bad things said often about their leadership, some of which if true isnt very flattering but also i think its been a case that mind games have been played and that can bring some very negative results from those who feel used.

All that nonsense aside I think they can fight well as a team although they have just lost their best players, save for Jette, with the new Supanovaz team. Only time will tell how much of a drawback that is long term, but i know people like Jubier know what they are doing and I understand that actually they have possibly gone through a leadership restructure so perhaps that will make a difference, although in fairness they top the standings in most categories so have done a good job so far.

2 - The Reindeer Pack

I am not a fan personally of having a whole team teleport between worlds, take a few core members to begin a world by all means, this ensures that you give the newer people you meet in that world a chance to benefit from a group of players who can demonstrate how to play rather than spend all their time worrying about comms and what a lightship does. But from what i understand this crew and Beta pack were basically made up of a couple of teams from other worlds who all wanted to party here - basically jump starting the world and leapfrogging the whole "getting started" phase of comms and such.

Trouble is I think they are basically MRAish type of alliances in the other worlds explaining their need for two maxed out teams in this one and basically given their size they arent really doing much, certainly apart from picking off a bunch of our inactive or complete noob players their attacks on us have been almost completely non effective, with only their best players who I know can play - Stormkronic particularly - having any results. Without really trying and just as an exercise in getting the team to meet a deadline we took 6 cities off them in about a 14 hour window I think !! lol

3 - Da Bunniz

My crew so I guess I cant comment. All I will say is that i am pleased at how they are progressing, how the new players are getting to griips with Grepo and we are starting to gel as a team. I am always proud of my teams because i respect they are people out to have fun just like me and none of us pay more to be a leader or sign up to be a soldier, so I feel very privileged to be the guy trying to steer a bit.

4 - Beta Pack

Covered already, if these guys exist in a month I'll eat my own droppings !!!

5 - Silence

Bit of an unknown quantity this one. I think we recruited one or two of their players at some point and I think we have hit a couple of their players too, Im sure Enfo would have a he basically has a duff monitor and sees all flags as red !!! lol

The fact they need 99 members to get 5th spot and that between them 99 players have only 5k more BP than Jette suggests that they suck and will basically be the grease to help the decent teams move round the grid !!!

6 - SuperNovaZ

The reverse engineered Harlem Globetrotters of Delphi !! lol

I guess Im flattered that the very best players in an entire server have basically clubbed together from three or so teams in order to take on my little crew of misfits !! Until they came round we easily had the best stats in every category for averages per player but these guys have us licked by a mile and I respect them immensely, so it will be interesting to see what happens. If they keep to their word and dont rely on the support of four huge crews of around 300people for backup then who knows what will happen, but as long as they stay tight and keep ego's and independence in check Im sure they will stay around and ultimately top the server.

7 - BAMF's

Certainly the other side of the ONE* conundrum. They have some good players, some not so good players and I think their leadership has been hit from pillar to post with possibly bad advice and poor discipline.

I dont think they will stay around much longer in their current format and certainly if I were running this crew I would either chop alot of deadwood out or consider a clean slate. I like the name and the logo and I think Noudo is cool, but I think they have some deep set problems thats basically gonna drag them down when all crews reach full ttack strength and all their members can conquer.

8 - Scorpion Elite Forces

An amalgam with Elite in its name.

Never gonna last, never gonna amount to anything, been done so many times it amazes me when these crop up on every server, they like weeds !!

9 - Legion of Death

Another massive team of nothing. I think they possibly picked the wrong fight with the wrong team, Grepostats is there for a reason, or even just check the rankings. if a guy is on the rim and starts doubling his BP count daily then its likely he knows what he is doing, so declaring on Dux was probably not the cleverest idea !!!

10 - In nomine patris

One to watch possibly. I will certainly be keeping a VERY close eye on this lot for various reasons and as soon as they get close enough will want to rim the lot !!! :D

11 - The Hawks

THIS will be the team that comes through the rankings.

There are some very scary names on the team sheet and I am expecting great things from them, It will be very cool to watch their progress, they already killed one alliance in about 10 days, so watch this space, top5 for sure.

12 - 15 - meh

I have a request for Mods if they could clean this thread of the junk posts, so we have a more consolidated view of how the People's perception of the alliances changed through the worlds.

1)ONE*:
#1 Alliance, though it got to that point initially by Mass recruiting, the recent events have caused the Alliance to rethink its strategy. Though they have lost many good players, they are much more streamlined now. Definitely something to watch out for if they can get the momentum going.

2)The Reindeer Pack:
They started on very similar footsteps as ONE, and though ONE has moved beyond the MRA days.. Pack is still living with the philosophy that numbers = Power. Though they have been fighting with Santas Fluffy Bunnies, although according to grepostats the war seems to be on SFB's favor. They are only going to get stronger from the battle. And battle experience counts for a lot.

3)Santas Fluffy Bunnies:
The First elite alliance on the server. They have been steadily growing very strong. Fighting the Packs and seem to be having the edge. They have proved their mettle. Seems to be an alliance which will last long.

4)Beta Pack
The Reindeer Pack's Academy.

5)Super NovaZ:
My New alliance, I can't really say how great the alliance is without being pompous. So, I will leave it there.

6)Silence:
An MRA from the newer ocean, I have seen this in almost all the worlds I play in. These guys will be in top ranking for a while, until they intersect one of the Elite alliances, then they will fall where most people will leave and join other nearby alliances.

7)BAMFs:
They seemed promising, but fighting too many battles has left the players too wounded. Doesn't look like they will be able to survive the world.

8)Scorpion Elite Forces:
Another MRA not in the core, but they seem more promising than Silence as they have some pretty good players. I hope the leaders will get rid of the dead weight and make this a truly Elite alliance.

9)Legion of Death:
They are stuck in a very precarious situation. They are allied with ONE and hence indirectly with the Pack. But they are small and right in the middle of those two behemoth's territory. Once their utility fades away, they will be quickly devoured. And with the advent of SuperNovaZ, their existence seems even more dangerous. They have a very dedicated leader though and He maybe able to pull a rabbit out of the hate.

10)In nomine patris:
I am excited for this alliance. Pretty far from the core, but seem to have a great average. And some very good players. They will be a big contender in the coming months.

11)The Hawks:
Another very good future prospect. Elite alliance from the very outskirts, They maybe colliding with Pack/In nomine patris soon. I would love to see those battles.

12) G.S.A:
Poorly managed MRA, but will survive for a while because everyone around has got bigger concerns.

We're in no way elite, we're a bunch of players that randomly spawned near each other happily chillin out n rimsville :)

I think that he got Shores of Death and Legion of Death confused. If that is the case, then he is completely accurate =)

Legion of Death is a different story. I would keep an eye on them. They are on the winning side of a war right now and depending on how they play their cards, they could either greatly benefit or crumble because of it. They need to make sure that they keep long term strat in mind instead of just focusing on a short term war.

Aside from that, I would agree with Bladey's thoughts. Good luck to those vicious Bunnies. I will be keeping an eye on the not so spoken about war of O55.

Baudin Toolan

Grepolis Team
1. ONE* - Maintained their top spot since the last time I did a review.

2. Santas Fluffy Bunnies - Jumped up from the 3rd rank, still have a higher average than ONE* but they have fewer players so they could catch up to them shortly.

3. Super NovaZ - Jumped up from the 6th rank which is quite an improvement. These guys embody what it is to be an elite alliance. They may be quite spread out but that clearly doesn't matter as they keep growing.

4. The Pack - Name change? No clue what happened nor do I honestly care

5. Silence - Maintained their 5th rank which is neither bad nor good, it just is. They have a low average so I'm guessing nobody has really tested them in a fight yet.

6. The Hawks - Jumped up from the 10th rank, decent average and somebody on the forums keep talking like they invented the wheel so maybe they are a good alliance? Nothing amazing about them yet but it looks like they are still improving.

7. illuminati - Seems like they are new to the top 12, decent average, still improving so that's a plus

8. Legion of Death - went up a rank from 9th so that's impressive, sorta. They have a bad average so I assume they are just getting kicked around by some alliance higher up the food chain.

9. In nomine patris - Up two spots from rank 11. They got better from the last time I did this so maybe in another week they'll be even better. Good average points.

10. G.S.A - Up two spots from rank 12. They didn't fall out of the top 12 like I thought, but their average is downright awful. They are holding their rank with number of members alone.

11. The Insanity Project - New to the top 12, worse average than G.S.A so that's impressive I spose. Another group holding rank with numbers, they'll need to trim the fat and focus on growing their actives if they want to stand a chance of getting anywhere.

12. Phalanx X3 - New to the top 12, decent average considering location but overall nothing special. It's the alliance I'm in so I won't say anymore

Baudin.... may I ask if your alliance will just become Phalanx Power again as they were the 3rd to be created in their group

The last time that PX3 had any correspondence with the original PP was a long time ago. We are an independent alliance and we are changing our name soon.

We seek only to continue our expansion plans while avoiding the same mistakes that the original PP made. All PP is to us is an example of what not to do :)

Good luck to you in all your RL and Grepo endeavors.

Hmmm... I have never gave an alliance opinion before, but I will give it a go:)

1-ONE*= Easy to obtain a #1 spot when you recruit over all the oceans, but will they be able to support those who are out away from the pact. Decent abp, but personally I am not impresed.

2-The Pact= seems lots of conquests internal, no alliance, or their sister/brother alliance.

3-super novaz= impressed with them overall. Nice conquest and abp stats. Very little internal claims or non-alliance conquests.

4- the bunnies= not very impressive here as of late. seem to be loosing more cities than gaining.

5- silence= the alliance has a training academy. Not to sure about why an alliance would have a training academy unless it was more concerned with overall sim status than teaching players to be an agressive bunch. I would expect to see unescorted attacks or escorted by biremes from them or their training alliance.

6-illuminati=Hmm. not to impressive on the bp rankings. Seems alot of their cities were founded from the conquest to city ratio.

7-the hawks= I would be judgemental to this alliance seeming how as I am in it. But I have to say I see the alliance working together to the same degree as PV in Xi. Total participation in the ops, and great leadership.

8-In nomine patris= not to many decent conquests, and low on the abp. Could be too early to tell

9-GSA= total mra, twice the dbp as abp. quite a few losses on the few conquests they do have.

10-The Insanity Project= low abp, low conquests, I wouldnt expect much

11-phalanx x3= could do well once they find out it is better to conquer than colonize:)

12-legendary assassins= could be impressive and prove my opinions wrong. But I think they need to learn where the attack button is.

47 members, 37 colinizations, and 111 cities. You do the math mate.

recruiting or colonization? I wonder

Me too:heh:

Not really:p Like I said originally, I would like to see what they do in the future for city gains. But for you to pick out that alliance to defend, I am guessing you are part of it:eek:

Nahh, haven't selected yet. Been watching a lot though so far. This was the only assessment of yours that I disagreed with. I would have given the Hawks more credit though, you have O65 on lock.

Are One* , The Pack, and Super Nova not all working together?
