Top 12 Top 12 Sink or Swim 2.0

Here goes an outsider's top 8. I'm not used to the heated debate on the externals and my ego is very weak, so please don't be too hard on me.

1. INVICTA:
Very experienced players whose lives translate directly to grepo. Although they have seemingly bottomless pockets, they are also skilled at the game. Extremely crafty and will try to win no matter what. Currently fighting a war on 3 fronts, but holding out, though losing a city here and there. However, lot of their support comes directly from RT, so at the point the bloods and RT start fighting seriously, INV may see a lot of its defense cut off. Besides, apart from RT, no one seems to like INV at all. I believe in the end the entire server will combine their efforts to slay this beast, not by firepower, but by exhaustion. Continuous hits on multiple fronts and always having to resend support/gold walls is very bothersome, when you know you will win in the end anyway. Therefore, paradoxically, once INV players get tired of not being the aggressor for once and actually getting up at night not to time attacks but to defend, a lot of them won't see the fun anymore and quit. After all, why spend oodles of gold to defend? 50/50 SWIM/SINK
2. Who Cares:

INVICTA quality but with slightly smaller pockets. At the moment losing the war vs INVICTA by a huge margin, the score of INV&RT vs. WC being 69-12 in INV's favor. But, same as with the Russians, I do believe they will come around and find a way to survive and strike back. They are very persistent and with the Turks on their side I'm sure they will hold out in the end. SWIM
3. Written in Blood:

Don't really know a lot about these guys, just that together with BH they have a sizeable core right next to WC.
4. Nocturnos:
These guys have a NAP with RT for Christ's sake, what are they doing besides picking off easy targets in the rim? Either RT&INV will come after them if their coalition wins "The Great War", or the Bloods and WC will if they win. SINK
5. Rogue traders:

The other half of INV that is just here for a fight and doesn't want to win the world. They'll be around until WW's for sure. SWIM until WW.
6. The Magnificent Ones:
Spread across 3 oceans, fighting multiple alliances all over the place, and unstable leadership. 3 alliances in total. SINK
7. Black Dawn.:

Don't know anything about these guys other than that they're cannibals.
8. Tree Hugging Hippies:
My own alliance. Just a couple of rimnoobs ;).


Ha ha internets - a bit Invicta bias but well done for having a go. good work on the pacts and naps though.

Well I don't think we're remotely rimnoobs. We are an alliance that started late in the server, we don't go crazy on gold and have got to 8th place through sheer hard work, determination, excellent leadership and also through the efforts of our players. But hey ho - what do I know, a noob who has been playing and leading big alliances since 2011. If Internets wants to be Invicta biased on this external forum, may I suggest he joins them?

1# invicta = all got money :D

True, some are heavy gold users ... only some, let me emphasize that ... and i accept the challenge if all alliances, except RT are not obsessed with defeating Invicta ...

My first ever Top 12 .... it is biased

1 Invicta .... Lots of people I admire and respect, expect them to be crowned but hopefully not without a fight

2 Who Cares .... I do for one, got to be rated as the "Hard as nails" alliance of this world

3 WIB .... Not had any dealings with them but you don't get as far as they have without some excellent strategy and effort

4 Nocturnos ..... Would be ranked higher if they could stand the daylight :)

5 Rogue traders .... A rogue retail empire? LOL make sure you keep your receipts as refunds are rare

6 TMO (1 through 273) ..... Conglomerate makes for a solid base (The next big premade?)

7 Tree Huggers ..... From 0 to 7 in a matter of months, I was so impressed I joined :)

8 Black Dawn ..... Day must start with Dawn, so many worlds unfortunately this one has reached dusk

9 NCT ..... "Hi Font" :) but in the words of Elmer Fudd "Dddd ddd dd dats all folks"

10 Blood Hellraisers .... perhaps written in stone ? have heard of blood brothers why not sisters too? :)

11 Southern Coalition ..... The definition is truly apt, and proven, but also by definition temporary. That would be shame :(

12 Amici Veteres ..... old friends, romans and countrymen, lend me your birs (Damn good friends to have)

Honorable mentions

Border Reivers ..... The next generation of players, some of these guys will go far.

The Evil Empire ..... An extraordinary story, comparable in parts to a very famous title by Mary Shelley. A monster is only a monster by the opinion of the majority.

Sinks and swims are irrelevant so close to WW
