More Comprehensive Mid-February Overview

[Shagah]

Since I am almost to 1000 rep points again, I decided it is time to get punished again and posted another "overview"

NORTHWEST

~S*S~
Number of Players: 148
Total Average Population: 1200
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 3
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 10.1
Density of players in which quad: NW
Village:Player Ratio: 3.4
# of Top Twenty Players: 4
Personal Notes and comments:
Slow and Steady, no name changes, no crumbled metas, not a lot of drama, just a straight up Travian game. I like that. Recently picked up some NWK remnants, we'll have to see how much the carry over garbage will effect them in the future. I bestow the title of Cloverfield to this meta.






Rebels
Number of Players: 45
Total Average Population: 1171
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 1
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 3.0
Density of players in which quad: NW/SW border
Village:Player Ratio: 3.2
# of Top Twenty Players: 2
Personal Notes and comments:
This group intrigues me. I don't know much about them though. I give them the title Mysterious Rebels








SOC/SYN/ETC
Number of Players: 537
Total Average Population: 690
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 13
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 21.0
Density of players in which quad: NW + all over the place
Village:Player Ratio: 2.2
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
Okay, I finally did the work for this monstrous list of allies....and its a mess...all over the map etc. I'm guessing people are in this group because they don't have a better place to be at this time. Soon, the larger groups will get bored and start picking them apart forcing their better members to switch to a different alliance and their worse members to quit. They could also be handy for "proxy" wars among groups that aren't ready to go all out against each other yet. I bestow upon them the titles of Entropy and Farm Meta

NORTHEAST


NEA
Number of Players: 164
Total Average Population: 938
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 3
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 8.7
Density of players in which quad: NE
Village:Player Ratio: 2.8
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
Recently pulled in a defective *13* wing, and still is allied with its own defected wings of ANE. Its considered the "neutral" power right now in the NE. They are attributed the title FenceRiders










ANE
Number of Players: 159
Total Average Population: 636
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 3
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 5.7
Density of players in which quad: NE
Village:Player Ratio: 2.1
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
Despite "leaving" the NEA meta, it still shares the same map, confeds and relocation territory. Leadership seems intelligent, active and straightforward but the membership is crappy. They could easily be one decent wing instead of 3 farm wings, they've recruited entire farm alliances since leaving NEA, and players deleting and leaving the alliance daily. Also with all yoyo name changing it seems that the leaders are still unsure what they are suppose to be doing. They are winning the titles of Drama Queen and Farm Meta.






*13*
Number of Players: 250
Total Average Population: 905
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 5
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 12.8
Density of players in which quad: NE
Village:Player Ratio: 2.7
# of Top Twenty Players: 1
Personal Notes and comments:
The war with EHJ/AFNE will be trying for this meta. It will show who is loyal to the core noobs and who are cowardly newbs. This is a large group of mostly inexperienced players. They will soon learn what Travian is all about. Those who can't withstand the pressure will try to find refuge in other alliances. The leaders will be forced to increase their communication and show their members how much they are willing to sacrifice. Will they bail like NWK leaders did recently? Or will they learn and grow from this conflict? This group is given the title Fat Boy in the Locker Room









EHJ/AFNE
Number of Players: 122
Total Average Population: 1234
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 3
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 8.5
Density of players in which quad: NE
Village:Player Ratio: 3.6
# of Top Twenty Players: 3
Personal Notes and comments:
Decided to celebrate the weekend of love by showing some affection to their wily neighbors in *13*. Was this a bad move on their part? Maybe they're "wasting resources"?? Or do they just want to play some Travian and their TS's aren't that high? They are given the title of Class Bully so don't leave your lunch money laying around.









TGR + Confeds
Number of Players: 176
Total Average Population: 554
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 5
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 5.5
Density of players in which quad: NE
Village:Player Ratio: 1.9
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
I included their two extra confeds of the Bane wing who happen to be in the SE oddly enough, although the TGR wing does not include these. This is the classic diplomatic blunder mess of an inexperienced attempt at a meta. They've taken in a lot of ex-EMPIRE which made the NE groups not trust them, their slippery diplomacy is a little hard to trust, and their members largely inactive or barely active.....they win the titles of Farm Meta and Diplomacy?wha?

TC/ACE + Confeds
Number of Players: 199
Total Average Population: 745
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 5
Population per square unit of Travian tile:8.4
Density of players in which quad: NE
Village:Player Ratio: 2.3
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
This looks likes some regrouping and more organized leftovers of some squigglie blunders. If they get some clear goals and mind, and play their diplomatic cards right they might have a future if they can maintain an activity level to avoid being a farm confed. They are given the title Young Grasshopper










SOUTHEAST

EMPIRE

Number of Players: 205
Total Average Population: 1231
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 4
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 14.3
Density of players in which quad: SE
Village:Player Ratio: 3.5
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
Empire has slimmed down to looking nice for pop stats, however their military tactics continue to be.....less than outstanding to put it nicely. They are apparently taught their skillz much as the clones were given shooting instructions. Their Main Forum antics are however entertaining. They are given the titles of Drama Queen and StormTrooper Sharpshooter




Posse + Confeds

Number of Players: 230
Total Average Population: 684
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 6
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 8.9
Density of players in which quad: SE
Village:Player Ratio: 2.2
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
For the amount of trials this group is put through by EMPIRE its still good to see them holding their own. The core group of active Posse players will be coveted players on servers to come, known for their dedication, activity and perseverance. They are given the title Alley Cat






PWNY
Number of Players: 17
Total Average Population: 1485
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 1
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 1.4
Density of players in which quad: SE
Village:Player Ratio: 4.2
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
I put this in here to save Erik time later ^_^ I give PWNY the title of PWNY as it seems to suit them.

SOUTHWEST

CDOR
Number of Players: 48
Total Average Population: 950
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 1
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 2.6
Density of players in which quad: SW
Village:Player Ratio: 2.8
# of Top Twenty Players:
Personal Notes and comments:
A latecomer to "big boy" world, CDOR has remained a solid entity in the SW while managing to avoid much publicity. No one can say anything bad about them, and they have managed to stay out of the unstable political entanglements of WP. This group is given the title Rising Star





WP
Number of Players: 113
Total Average Population: 1361
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 2
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 8.7
Density of players in which quad: SW
Village:Player Ratio: 3.8
# of Top Twenty Players: 1
Personal Notes and comments:
While always trying to live up to the fearsome reputation of HOOF, this group has continued to fail in the few diplomatic endeavors it has attempted. While filled with good players, the leadership appears unstable with a lot of internal conflict. 1 failed meta attempt, wings reshufflings, name changes, and now a small break off with the Schurke alliance, this group is looking like a smaller version of TCx that s4 vets should remember well. This group of veteran players need to cut their drama and get serious about s4, or get their arses handed to them by a group with more focus, loyalty, less "Elitest" attitude and real direction. Their military capabilities are only being tested against farms right now, what will happen when they're faced with a real conflict? This group is awarded the titles of Drama Queen Inc and Forum Trolls




Schurke
Number of Players: 13
Total Average Population: 1608
Total Number of Confeds + Wings: 1
Population per square unit of Travian tile: 1.2
Density of players in which quad: SW
Village:Player Ratio: 4.2
# of Top Twenty Players: 2
Personal Notes and comments:
This group appears to have left the WolfPack due to difference of opinion on a few matters. They state their reason for existence in their profile which is nice for everyone who wonders why they're there. I guess they felt the WP had too many deer in wolfs clothing? They are awarded the title of Wolf in nonWolfs Clothing

[BLAH]

Nice effort.

[jdance]

Needs more PWNY love. PWNY should always go first under SE. You should also praise every PWNY by name for the glorious things we do every day.

[Erik]

Hey, I can pick out which villages are mine on the map! And Suca is missing from our map! That's +2 wins right there.

Looks like there's a void of Empire players around me... I wonder why that is.

[RedPeasant]

Why aren't EMPIRE and PWNY included in the same map? Everyone knows we serve our emperor Felifar:

[Gentao]

Or what about this alliance...they are the bane of all existance in the NE!

[Lelouche]

these are always the same people over and over again

someone needs to go down the list, and start covering 20-50
