JSZephyr's Super Biased Alliance Analysis

[JSZephyr]

Some explanation first. This analysis is based on three things. 2 Real Numbers and my own opinions and experiences in this game. The real numbers are average pop (determined today by summing the total points of all wings in a Meta and then dividing by the number of players in the Meta) and number of wings as of noon today. Finally, as my experiences are my own, and are heavily influenced by my position on the map, the opinions of my friends in this game, the talk on CD's forums and even somewhat by the talk on these public forums, I do not expect this to be a particularly accurate representation of which alliance is in fact doing better than any other. Furthermore I expect it to be less and less accurate the farther from my location the alliance is located.

Moving right along, my made-up statistics and their meanings.

Name: How much I like the name. Yup, that's it.

Cohesiveness: Based on the current situation of the alliance, my opinion on whether or not they will hold together. 1 being guaranteed to break up soon, 10 meaning die-hard end game loyalty. This is siginificantly based on the alliances nearby the alliance in question as well.

Coordination: How effectively the members of an alliance can drop their troops where they want them when they want them there.

Strategy: How well the people making decisions, either members or leaders, can identify fakes, pick good targets and trick or confuse their enemies.

Bonus: Whatever the heck I feel like that didn't fall into a previous category.

Finally, my formula. Highest avg pop gets rank 10, next gets 9, IN THAT CATEGORY. That category then gets tripled and then added to all the other categories and bonus.

Rank 1
Nemesis - Nemesis
Avg Pop: 3110 - Rank 10
Wings: 2
Name: 8
Cohesiveness: 9
Coordination: 8
Strategy: 10 - changed from 9
Bonus: +1 for having another alliance on this list as their lackies
Final Score: 66 points

Finally, these scores may change ever so slightly if someone presents to me something I think might be worth putting in the bonus categories. One I'm looking for in particular is largest anvil. Also considering a +1 for each alliance for each member they have the #1-5 offensive or defensive players.

Hey, another analyzer, i hope this means the Embassies of server 3 will liven up again?

[thereter]

lulwat?

So when is TW and MBTS gonna merge?

[SmashySmashy]

You're so biased you put your own alliance second!

[JSZephyr]

Yup, I have a category based on how much I like a name, how much more biased could it get?

Mine is the less serious version perhaps? Pretty much you just reminded me that I'd always wanted to do one and never got around to it.

mine wasnt very serious either.

I might steal your format, overall I think you're lying or being modest or whatever it is but I enjoy reading it.


Also I'm way more biased than you.
