For posterity, I will post one last Top 10 Points before BP ends. Afterwards, you won't find me here as I don't care about points. I'll be a regular commenting about ABP Top 10 rankings
1. SPLATT: 56015pts/90P/622 avg
Great job. You guys are certainly the most true to your MRA roots. In that category alone: perfection. If I was into that kind of thing, I'd applaud you.
Prediction: not in top 10 in 2 wks
2. The Southerners Reborn: 54854pts/72P/762 avg
Highest ranked alliance to attempt to be a MRA on day 1, then be something else from then on. What happened to making O55 your ocean? Survived one disbandment; will they survive one from their own leader?
Prediction: not in top 10 in 5 days
3. The Nefarious: 43996pts/71P/620 avg
Despite possible good or elite leadership from R4GE?!?, rankings make this alliance appear to rival SPLATT, the #1 MRA. ABP rankings will tell true colors.
Prediction: will be #1 or 2 next wk
4. Black Empire: 42817pts/75P/571 avg
MRA with worst avg of top 6. Accomplished a few merges with weaker MRAs, meaning there may are two founders. I think this alliance is in close proximity to Rouge Bullz. I hear they are burning all of their red clothes to avoid them.
Prediction: not in top 10 in 1 wk
5. Ancient Greek Warfare: 32946pts/48P/686 avg
MRA with better avg. May control their own ocean for the time being, but rivals will wear them down.
Prediction: #3 next week
6 The Roman Republic: 32340pts/53P/610 avg
MRAish with very capable leadership from Theta. Knossos half can't really consider themselves experienced, but time will tell. Has best potential to shoot up the rankings this week.
Prediction: #1 or #2 next week
7. Ultimate Dark Titans: 31345pts/63P/498 avg
Protege to SPLATT, doing well to walk in their footsteps as a MRA. Unfortunately, they don't have the clout as a #1 MRA would.
Prediction: not in top 10 in 1 wk
8. Raise Your Weapon: 27155pts/37P/734 avg
Big NOOB for a leader. Who does he think he is passing judgment?!? Someone stop him! Send all your forces to his city at 3 hr intervals!!!
Prediction: may crack top 5 in a week or fall back... troop-heavy cities don't compare well with point-hoes
9. The Swedish Empire: 24074pts/54P/446 avg
Who likes Swedish meatballs? I love them. Meat and sauce YUM!!! Unfortunately this alliance does not make them and their avg is a disgrace to their flag. Sweden deserves better!
Prediction: not in top 10 in 4 days
10. The Odyssey: 22571pts/45P/502 avg
MRA ranked #10 at this stage of the game: DUA
Prediction: not in top 10 in 4 days
Predicted to Crack Top Ten:
-Enigma-: success against #2 will bode well for recruiting
Rouge Bullz: top 5 in 2 weeks
Honorable Mentions (those outside top 10 with high avgs):
Extraordinary Gentlemen
The Langoliers
