Right, time for another. But it's a truism in Grepo that points aren't the be-all and end-all, and that BP, and particularly ABP, is much more interesting. And also, likely to change much more quickly, particularly if you use a short time period - so I'll do one based on ABP over the last 24 hours. Yes, it's just a snapshot in time, and isn't necessarily at all representative, but it also allows us to look at some different alliances still within the constraint of a top 12, and precisely because it can change allows repeat top 12s more frequently without being too boring.
So I hope people find this interesting, and still on topic.
1. This is not a drill - Sink. Noobs messing with mini-ops on Northlanders, nothing to see here.
2. Show me your noobies - Swim. Clearly doing most things right for points and ABP, a major force.
3. Caustic Soda - Swim. Also clearly fighting nicely.
4. Enough is Enough - Swim. Again, fighting well and showing their points position is justified.
5. Varangian Guard - Swim. First real surprise, shows these guys are serious dark horses.
6. Enuf is Enuf - Sink. Although doing rather nicely for an academy.
7. Caustic Juice - Sink. As above.
8. Blood Pressure - Swim. What's this, an academy out-performing their main branch? Always a giggle. Maybe they'll be the senior branch from now on.
9. Written in Blood - Sink. Have become an academy to their own academy.
Sorry guys, couldn't resist poking a bit of fun there.
10. Mad Dogs - Float. More dark horses, these guys could prove to be a bit of a threat at this rate.
11. Check Mate - Sink. Under massive pressure from most directions, impressive that they're still attacking well enough to figure here, but can't last much longer.
12. Rejects - Sink. Another alliance under severe pressure that can't last that long, but respectable ABP considering that fact.
So there we have it, a slightly different take on a top 12, would be interested to see others done on different criteria.
