Chapter 1. Part 1
MeI's & Sink and Swim series.
Good morning/evening everyone,
Hope you're all doing well during those difficult times and I hope you're all staying safe and healthy. As the world Elis is developing, I figured I'll bring you all my swim and sink series, where I share my views on the current events and alliances in our wonder world, Elis en133. I will be covering the 10/12 alliances in those series. In addition, I will also include personal shout outs and alliance honorable mentions as the world develops so keep an eye out.
The wonderful admins allowed me to have my own article page on the externals during my journey of Pseria so I hope they will allow for this one to stick. I think the other external page has little too much negativity inside it hence why I created my fresh sink and swim thread for you all. Also, this is the first official sink and swim on the forum for Elis so I have that going for me to.
I was suppose to retire for a little while after Pseria but hey, no time for retirement when you see your friends play! If you don't already know, English isn't my first language so please excuse any poor grammar provided and look beyond. Also, if you don't know me there will be a huge spoiler alert coming up right after this sentence.
INFORMATION OVERLOAD IS INIVETABLE. DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU DISLIKE LONG ARTICALS. I TEND TO TALK A LOT.
If the spoiler doesn't bother you and you made it this far I'm glad, thank you for you time! This little series will likely be separated into 2-3 parts depending on how much I'll talk.
Finally, before we get into it, please remember this is only my opinion and my thoughts. If you disagree, lets be kind to one another and lets discuss it in a respectful manner down below.
Moreover, the aim of my article is to share some facts but also to make you question the current events and alliances choices. There will be rhetorical questions, and little twists to make you think about the future of this world to hopefully, keep you all engaged and entertained. I want it to be as fun as possible and most importantly, I want you to enjoy the read as it's my primary objective to make your day a little bit brighter and I hope I can deliver just that.
So one last time, grab your tea, your coffee your wine; whatever it is you like to drink, sit back and enjoy my long rambles and mini stories. Stay safe, and don't pick your nose!
1. Onlyfans - Swim.
We get started with out leaders of the world Onlyfans, a very talented group and highly aggressive when it comes to offensive capabilities. The name also has a nice touch to it, bringing out their funny side. As we look at some facts we can see they're 1st in the offensive rankings and 4th when it comes to the defensive side of things. When we look at some statistics we can also see they're The Ghosts and Few Good Men an extremely unpleasant time dominating 44 as it stands. I believe this will continue and ocean 44 will be in their grasp in the near future. Are Arkadians their next target? Most likely. As things stand they're also showing a good presence in ocean 54 as well which cannot be ignored. I believe ocean 54 is the most competitive ocean when it comes to fighting for dominance. Furthermore, I strongly believe this group has a non aggressive pact with True Bloods meaning, they don't have to worry about their south boarder being breached. This allows Onlyfans to focus on picking off players in 44, while also expanding into 54 which is not good news for alliances in 54, especially Bunnies.
I believe this group will be with us for a long time, they have a lot of fantastic players and people shouldn't undermined them. As things stand, they have the most potential and are in the best position due to their high presence in 54 as well as great potential to lock down 44. When it comes to fantastic players, Devilking comes into mind for me. An amazing player who I played with on Pandosia, who also somewhat, copies my city names, a little! Only joking, I'm the copy cat here!
Shoutout to Reimu Hakurei, the number 1 fighter as things stand. A kind soul on the forums, good to see positivity even when others don't show it in return. Stay kind, positive and dominate the 44!
2. True Bloods - Swim.
Here we are visiting True Bloods, in other words known as, Written in Blood but sadly their name was taken earlier on by people who they don't get on with. There's been a lot of negativity and rudeness thrown around about this group which I don't really like as I tent to be nice to everyone, even those on the other side of the coin. Back in Nagidos, Bloods were my enemy yet, this group has some wonderful players and is extremely respectful no matter what side you may be on. I wanted to get things started with that, because this group gets a lot of stick and from personal experience, they're worthy opponents and contenders for this world. Winning doesn't matter, in Pseria I gave my spot up for someone else to get the crown and I finished in our support team gladly getting the silver trophy because fun and friendship matters more.
Anyway, looking at some statistics Bloods are 2nd when it comes to offensive rankings and 7th in the defensive rankings. As for their home, its ocean 45 and there isn't much to really say at this point, anything that isn't blue gets eaten in 45 and I believe Bloods will have their ocean in full control quicker than any other team. As mentioned before, I do believe they have an agreement with Onlyfans. Leading up from that, I believe their primary focus for the time being is to completely lock down 45. Once the ocean is in full control they will have a tone of options. However, I believe finding a right option could be tricky in the future. Option one would be to break the agreement with Onlyfans and move into 44. Option two, possibly move into 55 and cause trouble there or option three, secure the rim oceans by moving into 46 and 35 (my favorite ocean!). I believe they will play it smart and move for the rim oceans as that tactic was used in Nagidos by TINAD and Slap which earned them a fantastic win. Only time will tell on what Bloods will do, but with their fantastic leadership I believe they will be with us till the very end of Elis. Also, congratulations on the successful OP, statistics don't lie and I may have been cheering secretly. If you know, you know.
Shoutout to Anes King, a very positive person we need more kind people like you on this planet. Also shout out to Ruthie, a well known player who is also true to her word.
3. Mythical Beasts - Sink.
Here we are, visiting our number one defenders on Elis, Mythical Beasts a group that's had it pretty rough from the start in my personal opinion. I also believe, it's not going to get any easier due to their positioning and I feel like the rough days have only just began. As things currently stand, Beasts have been losing cities at a steady of 4 on average everyday which is not ideal. The reason why I believe they will sink is due to their poor positioning having 1/4 of their cities based in 45 and the rest in 55, so early on in the game. I don't believe that strategy is effective so early on in the game because players cannot keep up unless they have some serious talent and if they're an experienced premade. A good comparison to them is Onlyfans, they also have high presence in 54 while dominating 44. However, the difference between those parties is the player pool, the experience and the experience in general. If we look at Onlyfans roaster they have a lot of experienced players that are known from other worlds, at least I know a lot of their names and a lot of those players have good experience, they know how to navigate the map, and most importantly they know their competition. On top of that, they have excellent diplomacy skills. I see a lot of that in Beasts but with far less experience and capability and sadly, I believe they will sink soon.
The one name the stands out to me is Rymdal2, showing he can keep up and he's doing really well for himself. We know they also have a pact with The Chosen. Could that be their saving grace? I personally don't think so, especially after seeing Nassus leaving them and joining Disciples. To round things up, we know Beasts are losing cities to Bloods and to top that off Dilligafs and Disciples have been chipping in on their end, taking cities of them as well which is even more troubling for Beasts.
To top it off, they have taking in some trouble makers which I don't think will do them any positive service. As I don't like drama I will not mention names of course, but one player in particular needs to work on their language because you never know what others are going through in real life and after all, this is just a game. Be respectful to one another, and have fun it doesn't matter if you're winning or losing.
