Because no one else is...
1. Final Boss
Don't know much about them. Look like a bunch of amateurs though.
2. SSICK
They've gone from 4 alliances down to about 1-1/2. Seem to be doing a really good job of fighting their other alliances - given 95% of conquests are from SSICK/SSICKer/SSICKly/SSICKest/SSICKiest/SSICKlier/StillSSICK/SSICKbutfeelingalittlebetterthanksforasking
3. Unwritten Legacy
#3 on the rankings, but #1 in their own minds. Just like SSICK, doing a bang up job fighting their other alliance. Kudos to you on that assuredly bloody battle.
4. ANONYMOUS
I hear they are fighting <a certain terrorist organization that apparently I'm not allowed to mention on the externals> now, so +1 to you guys.
5. Rampant Chaos.
At first I didn't think they were much, but then I noticed the . at the end of their name. Everyone knows, that if you want to be taken seriously in grepo, drop a . at the end of your alliance name. It's the grepo version of the *mic drop.
6. The Horde
Seem pretty average / maybe below average, but the real question is... horde of what? Some hordes are a lot less intimidating then other hordes. Something tells me that this group is one of the not-so-intimidating hordes.
7. Phoenix I
I mean, Fawkes was a Phoenix and he saved the day in the Chamber of Secrets, so gotta give some love to this alliance.
8. OCEAN VETERANS
In the time it took me to write this sentence OV just colonized another 30 cities.
9. Rising Tide
In the time it took me to write this sentence RT just colonized 25 cities and denied being associated with OV 35 times.
10. Exploit Guns
Some more .US server all stars. Those types have fair pretty well here I think (right, exit? right, cryptic?)
11. Unwritten.Legacy
I once thought that the only thing more intimidating then the . at the end of your alliance name is the . in between it. But even with that inconspicuously placed . they seem to be losing badly to... the other UL alliance.
**Note, in the time it took me to write the last sentence UL/U.L colonized another combined 60 cities.
12. Monkey Business.
Ok whats with the periods?!
That's all I've got. I hope you appreciated my in depth analysis of this server I'm so clearly not playing.
