Foreword
This Newspaper will contain information from the community of Selymbria, Mapping, Reviews, and Interviews. All interviews are taken directly from the message and they were sent in on a voluntary basis. All stats and maps are taken from Grepolis Intel. I hope to offend no Player or Alliance by the impact of this Newspaper, as it is perceived from an outside perspective looking in.

News
New Kids
The new kids on the block are Suicide Squad and they came mostly from the remnants of Independent and Independent II. Though some stayed, some also left. Suicide Squad is also partnered with Repossession Agents in the North East. This partnership seems to be beneficial to both and to gain more control of the core. In the next month we will have a better look at what this team is capable of as they have a few big foes in their path.
The Triple Threat
The Triple Threat I consider to be is, Sons of Odin, Sons of Tyr, and Sons of Thor. All three of these alliances are dominating most of the Western Hemisphere, while doing so with ease, so far. These guys seem to still have peace relations with True Fear and True Bros, so until the day this Triple Threat faces another Top 5 crew like themselves, then we will know if these guys are the real deal or not. In saying that, so far they have done satisfactory in my book, so keep up the good work!
Magicians
The Magicians? Yes, The Magicians, as in Blue Magic. These guys can pull anything out of their hat as far as I can tell. They seem to have the best diplomacy, best coring, best war-ratio. Did I really just say all that? Damn, when I came into this world I was told these guys were the real deal, and I think they have proved that to me this far into the world. I hope these guys make it to the end so I can see their full potential come World Wonders.
The Sinking Ship
The Sinking Ship stars EX-Worldpowers: Independent/Independent II/Independent III. Indy is now The Sinking Ship of the server, and it's glory day's of Selymbria are now over. To put it from my perspective of what Indy was: "The kid who never backed down from a fight". In our hearts we all respect that kid and somewhat envy him, *glancing at him in the hallway as he walks out the door never to be seen again*. The Indy family came here to fight and that is what their reputation will be known for here. Indy won many wars and broke many Top Alliances early-mid server, but unfortunately it didn't last much longer that that. All in All, give respect where it's due.
Ocean Review
Ocean 55 - Half Full or Half Empty?
Cities Owned in Ocean 55:1) Blue Magic (Blue) - 553 Cities
2) Suicide Squad (Yellow) - 167 Cities
3) Repossession Agents (Yellow) - 89 Cities
4) Independent (Red) - 51 Cities
5) The Golden Monks 4 (Pink) - 51 Cities
Ocean 45 - Sooner or Later?
Cities Owned in Ocean 45:1) Sons of Odin (Orange) - 607 Cities
2) True Fear (White) - 148 Cities
3) Sons of Tyr (Orange) - 151 Cities
4) Sons of Thor (Orange) - 107 Cities
5) True Bros (White) - 42 Cities
Ocean 44 - Toss Up?
Cities Owned in Ocean 44:1) Tesla Spears (Purple) - 483 Cities
2) Suicide Squad (Yellow) - 361 Cities
3) Tesla Spears II (Purple) - 156 Cities
4) Sons of Thor (Orange) - 76 Cities
5) Independent II (Red) - 91 Cities
6) Independent (Red) - 77 Cities
7) Sons of Odin (Orange) - 59 Cities
8) Repossession Agents (Yellow) - 67 Cities
9) Sons of Tyr (Orange) - 52 Cities
Ocean 54 - Hands Down?
Cities Owned in Ocean 54:1) Repossession Agents (Yellow) - 595 Cities
2) Suicide Squad (Yellow) - 357 Cities
3) Asgard (Green) - 114 Cities
4) Independent (Red) - 96 Cities
5) The Golden Monks - 64 Cities
6) Independent II (Red) - 54 Cities
The clear winner of this ocean seems to be Repossession Agents and Suicide Squad. I see Asgard surrounded on all sides by the two sharks, which means they won't last much longer. Independent/Independent II and The Golden Monks are located in South West 54, which in this case they will eventually dissipate and move alliances as time goes on. This will all lead to Repossession Agents and Suicide Squad to gain full control of Ocean 54 as time goes on.
Top 12 Alliances
The gates of Selymbria opened for battle on May 18th, 2017 as a Revolt 2/2 Server. So far, Alliances have came and went through Selymbria. Those who remain, are the the top guns of the server. That being said, Selymbria is in its midlife crisis while having around ~8 months until World Wonder times begin. In saying that, there are many alliances that will climb to greatness and many that will crumble to dust over the next 8 months.
