Before you read this I'd like to say I'm sorry, but I really don't know much about what everyone else is doing... lol
1. New Dawn - Attackers #2 | Defenders #5 | Fighters #3 - Float
A while ago New Dawn ate the old red coalition because they got tired of hugging everyone, then for a while they looked great, they then became the new main hugging alliance and now I don't know really. They seem to be pacted with Avengers and attempt to help Avengers in the fight against ThePlague, which they seem to be losing at an increasing speed with the players in Avengers either going VM or getting banned for cheating.
If New Dawn are fighting any wars anywhere let me hear about it, not sure what's going on on their O54/O55 border.
2. ThePlague - Attackers #1 | Defenders #1 | Fighters #1 - Swim
Not gonna say anything here as my opinion would be biased
3. LAELAPS - Attackers #4 | Defenders #2 | Fighters #2 - Swim/Float
I don't know much about these guys, they are second in defender BP so they must be fighting someone. As far as I know they have no pacts or NAPs and are fighting everyone in their way. Not sure what their plans are or who they are fighting, therefore a swim/float depending on that.
4. Panda-monium - Attackers #3 | Defenders #4 | Fighters #4 - Swim/Float
Panda-monium still here, a surprise to some as they though Shadows were taking them down quite efficiently. Personally I rooted for these guys, glad to see they made it out on top. Not sure what caused Shadows to collapse, but I suppose Panda-monium is still cleaning up O54 fighting for the remaining cities? Not sure what direction they are going or what they are even up to therefore, swim or float depending on what's next.
5. Avengers - Attackers #6 | Defenders #6 | Fighters #6 - Sink
Many of them are strong players and for a long while I respected how good they seemed at the game. However my opinion about them changed when I started suspecting some of them were cheating with their timings and all of a sudden small accounts popping up being used for low morale, not long after they started getting banned and unbanned and I lost a lot of the respect I had for them as opponents.
They are currently fighting ThePlague, getting a bit of help from New Dawn but seem to be losing the fight. Sink.
6. EPIC Riot - Attackers #32 | Defenders #45 | Fighters #37 - Sink/Float
Well ermm... Where do I start, I am not sure how long this Alliance of all the "EPIC" ones have been there. But their BP ranks aren't very impressive judging by my bad memory saying they've existed on the top 12 for about a month. I am not sure what these guys are doing or who they are fighting if they are eve fighting anyone. Judging on their BP rankings and the fact that they might be MRA Im gonna stick with a Sink, possibly float.
7. The Wolf Pack - Attackers #30 | Defenders #38 | Fighters #31 - Swim
From my knowledge this is a merged alliance, I don't remember who but the best players from each of the two alliances formed this one. They seem to be moving in BP rankings at a decent speed and I think they'll go a little higher on the rankings in the near future as long as they don't fight one of the bigger alliances. Swim.
8. Ex-Panda-Bles - Attackers #33 | Defenders #41 | Fighters #35 - Swim/Float
They are the sister alliance of Panda-Monium, as far as I know they for a while when they were fighting Shadows shut down this alliance but they have now put it back up to collect the remaining good players of shadows and surroundings that don't fit in the main alliance. Cleaning O54 with Panda-Monium?
9. EPIC - Attackers #7 | Defenders #9 | Fighters #7 - Float
I believe this to be the strongest part of the EPIC coalition (4 alliances, EPIC, EPIC Reborn, EPIC Fire and EPIC Riot). Their placement in the BP rankings surprised me as I have no idea what they have been or what they are fighting. Hopefully someone can comment on these missing out parts where I haven't got a clue.
10. The Last Order - Attackers #11 | Defenders #16 | Fighters #13 - Sink/Float
I know they were fighting a war against someone and that war came to an ending? These guys at one point earlier looked like they had things going really well for them. Now by the looks of things they are falling behind? I am not sure if they still have a fight somewhere, but things don't look too well for them if things stay the way they are.
11. Relentless - Attackers #10 | Defenders #17 | Fighters #14 - Float/Swim
To be honest I never heard of this alliance before making this top 12 just now. They seem to have decent BP rankings all things considered. They are located far up North-East.
I don't have much to say here as I am even more clueless about them than everyone else. Float/Swim because of location and BP rankings.
12. Grey Bear - Attackers #48 | Defenders #29 | Fighters #40 - Sink/Float
This seems to be the remains of the Red Coalition now based in a new location. Taigalvans attempt to MRA the entire world didn't succeed. Looking forward to see if they've got something interesting planned, but because of their having to start over with less of their good players (some still remain) I don't see them moving much.
That was my top 12, got tired of waiting for someone else to post. Hopefully someone else will post one within a few days so we get a few different opinions and information on the alliances I don't know much about
