Map of the top alliances
#1 in points, #1 in ABP, five players in the top 10. Clearly the best alliance at the moment, and I'm not saying it because I'm in it
Still haven't had a big war, but then again, no one really has in this world. Complete control over oceans 36 and 46, pretty much cruising through the world. Surely, threats will come sooner or later, and they will be challenged for their top spot.
Oh, the big TW-Shadow. By far the most popular pick to win it all when the world started. And maybe they would've done it had their top 2 players quit the game a month in. Julio failed to prove his doubters wrong and now the alliance is led by Poisonous Doctor, who is a very good player but he's also very active in Ialysos, so we'll have to wait and see how that turns out. We know they're an aggressive alliance, but they definitely don't seem as good as they did a couple of weeks ago. Still, you can't count them out.
#3 in points, #3 in ABP, 3 players in the top 10. They are all about number three

Very good alliance, well organized and have a couple of great players like murtagthebad who is class. They are west of TW-S and north or In Kontrol, so they can fight them both if they wanted to. Also, it gives them options to choose an ally and potentially take out one of the other two. I'd rank them above TW-s, but I'm doing these by the in game ranking so they're #3.
An alliance I know almost nothing about! Probably because they're far from the action, over in O64. They will probably slowly advance towards the core oceans and then we'll see if they're legit or not. Seem quite good at the moment, but then again, they have no threats nearby.
How many members? lol
Honorable Mentions
Very good and aggressive alliance, currently fighting my next honorable mention. They seem well organized and determined, but they're still a few steps away from becoming great. If I'm informed correctly, they're in good relations with TW-S.
Rounding out the top 10 is Dont Cry. An alliance that was formed recently and started fightin as soon as they were created. They have some very good players and could definitely help one of the top alliances in their wars. Positioned near all the biggest alliances, they're a big target, as well as a big asset if someone could get them on their side.
Hope this gives at least a bit of life to the Gonnos forums, it's really sad and quiet around here.
Cheers
