Quadrant analysis

[Jono]

Figured out how to avoid ranking!

Practically half the forum asked me to do this, so I expect you all to complain about how biased and unfair it is. Don't disappoint me.

SE:

Pringles:

Has the top 3 slots...obviously won't last all game, NATO and TRG will be taking at least one of those. I would be surprised if the top slot went to someone else though.

Basically owns the quad, but chiefing and fighting will get difficult to find, no doubt. There are a host of agro players in here so it will be interesting to see where they go to find one.

Been labeled a "META" already...the current wings and ~R~ were determined before the round started. No, there won't be any more, and yes, we will be cutting people that don't 'cut' it.

OYP:

Only people around to give Pringles pain, the question will be whether Pringles is good enough at mobilizing defense to stop them from running over people. Obviously the 10:1 ratio will do them in eventually but they could cause some chaos if leadership allows them to run over people when cats get rolling (assuming that ever happens..)

BSS-SE:

Just have to laugh at them...broke the top 20 finally! They are a combination of LOS/BSS and a group of people who were previously P-BLADES. At least we get to have some fun :P

SW:

DOOM:

Despite all the naysayers, they will be a factor this round purely by merit of existing in the SW. There is NO competition at all. If there isn't a MASSIVE leadership fail then it will grow to dominate the SW and have several top 20 wings. The real question will be how well they can motivate their players to build troops, prepare for endgame, and get participating in alliance stuff.

NW:

NATO:

I was waiting to see what would happen, but as expected they now are the top alliance in the quad with significantly better quality than the others. They will completely dominate the recruiting and everything else in the NW from this point on, SWC will simply get players that NATO rejected. Will, of course, be and endgame force again. /me winces for my future WW.

SWC: (Fused/SPF/ASA)

Falling..and fast. If they want to have a shot at controlling recruits in the quad they NEED to consolidate. Nobody wants to be in a huge, lower ranked, cluster**** compared to NATO. They need something to make them stand out.

If I was in charge over there, I would completely all the wings into the main alliances and drop the crap. They all have several decent players and a ton of crap. Even better, stack the top 120 into Fused/SPF, then turn ASA into a "training-ish" wing where most of the new recruits go. Fill it up..but whoever is last when someone new wants in goes. And since I noticed PYN too...completely forget ASA, just merge the remainder in there since they actually have fairly good leadership..

This is the ONLY way they have a shot...even if NATO doesn't send a single cat their way.

NWA:

Will cause pain for NATO and probably hurt their WW some. Them ninjas like to do that..

RATS:

LOLFAIL. That is all! They will be out of the top 20 soon.

NE:

Was supposed to be the interesting quad..but NATO chickened out and moved when they heard other people were going to be there. Literally, that's what happened. Anyway,

TRG:

Obviously a force...will probably not have any actual effect on the game since they hate endgame. Will hurt things in quad..and their wing random will probably do the same. Though I am having trouble finding real enemies in there.

WB*H

Nobody is going to break into them...they are very weak early game, but once they get going they will have several million D for TRG to kill before they can get in. Will probably just sit there on the border all round and then grab a WW.

Pretty solid analysis. Except NATO had never planned to go to the NE. We made our decision to go NW pretty quickly after the last round was over to return to our birthplace in round 1. Besides, we heard the ninjas were going NW and so NW we went.

That's not true at all..I was watching it on your forums. Ninjas were planning to go NE..and you heard that OWNED/potentially Fused and CD/TRG were all going NE to make a huge cluster****. So you changed..and since I was watching I informed the Ninjas of said change and sent them NW

Pretty good sum up of what's going on right now, though I hope you are a bit wrong of the NE. I hope there will be some enemies around in the NE we could have some fun with

Perhaps we should settle into the boonies, looks like it's getting overcrowded there, WGF, S.P.Q.R. and WB*H seems to settle their clusters in the outback....

If you cat us we will cat you

anyone hear an echo in here?

If you want to get technical about it. You already took catapults to my nice quaint 15c in the middle of your members.

Remember Jono, Once you pop...
