Ok....soooo top 12 ehhh?
Najistan - Well they are number one in points, have one of the strongest offenses in the game, defense wise they are relatively untested, depending on how well they can hold up defensively under pressure they may persist a while, then again the first major offense vs them may send their recruits from past wars running like they did when attacked by najistan. That's all provided anyone can defend against these guys and simultaneously mount a solid offense (hasn't happened yet).
Epilektoi - A very solid crew, well coordinated and very tight knit, probably will remain a solid force for a long time. Though, relatively new they have many old experienced players.
Reservoir Dogs - Another solid crew, survived Sesame Street and grew. Would imagine they have a lot of mileage left.
Pandoras Box - Top of the midsized crews by points but nearly half the size of number 1, Though they have been under fire from najistan for over a month and are still here. That says something.
without a paddle - formerly called the federation, these guys have fought nemesis and vengance and did fairly well. Not sure how well they would survive a fight against a larger alliance, they have a fairly tight core which gives them a defensive stronghold they seem fairly content to sit in their corner and the alliances around them either cannot stand up to them or choose to leave them alone.
Bunniez - In the northwest, honestly don;t know much about these guys, they've been around for a while so they must have something going for them.
Sesame Street - Previously at the top of the list, now falling quickly, probably won't be around much longer.
High Desert Mavericks - The academy of Najistan, and still a rank 8 alliance. Najistan can infill any losses they take for a long time and remain at the top with this, unless they flee under pressure of course.
Up Your Oars - Associated with Bunniez, not sure how strong the bond is here but they are located on the rim and have plenty of room to play till push comes to shove. Like Bunniez I am not too familiar with them but they have persisted and seem to be going strong.
Reunited - These guys are hardcore and will likely be around for a good while, unless inactivity does them in, like federation they have a very tight solid core. In addition they have a solid group of players that came to this server together and know each other. This is a real solid group that will likely only fall by being completely overwhelmed or from internal problems.
Exile Immortals - Don't know much about them but I love their name, that's about all I know about them.
Torque - A rim alliance that popped up out of nowhere and doesn't seem to be slowing down...if there's a hidden ace on the rim these guys are it.
sorry in advance I suck at top twelves.
