gard, be nice they did a good job actually ... we couldve been in their spot if just a few details woulda been different ... its just SD, and things go bad real fast in here

yes there are, they're just inactive

hahaha ... thats quite the ironic comment really, considering im the leader of the 1st ranked fam in SD, you know, that galaxy where it all comes down to skill, and where you ... euh ... oh yes, i remember, were killed off spectacularly, ages ago I just randomed into MW late, into the bottom fam, and was trying to get the new players into the game, when 52 decided to bottomfeed to such an extent more than half the fam deleted. And thats not something to make anyone proud.

I wish to congratulate 52 on their second kill-till-they-delete of the round. You are doing VERY well in the get-the-new-players-to-leave-asap department. This time though, you even needed your allies to kill off a fam only a quarter of your nw. Congratulations. Seriously. For everyone else ... they can only beat someone a lot less in power than themselves, in a fair fight they suck. Just pointing out some free planets, and no dishonor involved if they would accidentally be only half your nw, or even less.

1 (4877) [44,26]  170 436409 11443

Players : Lew-Lew (leader), Lee, Elro, Fygaro, Kukushka, Bebenciukas

This family went at it fast and furious at SOR, and is still holding strong. Though they slowed a little over the last couple of days, it would be foolish to consider this a sign of weakness ... it should have you wondering what they're up to. If they can keep Lee involved and motivated, and keep working together as well as they did, they will definitely be one of the fams duking it out for the win.

2 Playboy Mansion (4878) [24,21]  207 508797 11385

Players : Gard, Smaug, Vegeto, Galeonis, Walking_Corpse, TheConfusedOne

My fam ... all this size and nw is just a ruse, we're just setting ourselves up as the biggest farm of the round. Gard and Smaug are still trying to figure out what the difference between a fighter and a soldier is, and with myself doing the eco planning, we sure have no clue whatsoever.  Going nowhere, and going there fast.

3 Ask Away (4881) [18,16]  202 398928 11002

Players : Killas (leader), Render, Tja, Easyway, Amsterdam, Forever

They had a very good start, planned well, and still have quite a good size and economy. Might have overextended themselves running 9-tick attacks for a while, and now got into troubles with other families. If they can up their game in the upcoming days they might last till the end, but personally i dont really see it happening. Will likely end up gtting bashed from different sides and fighting for survival.

4 KILLERS (4865) [46,11]  145 329213 10615

Players : GeneralSkulls, TBO, Arby3, Poley, Cheveyo, Wiwi

They are slowly losing ground compared to the other families vying for the win, but they have quite a bit of experience and might still turn it around if they get their act together now, which means, not getting into more troubles than they can handle in the upcoming days. Even if they bite the dust, they can still be a deciding factor in the endgame, as whomever tries to kill them off might well be chewing off more than they can swallow.

5 Chess Titans (4882) [42,67]  202 369220 9758

Players : Flashy, Load, FA , crazyone, Serenity, Star99

Though they jumped to quite a good size and nw, most of that is on one attacker with a big fleet. Makes you wonder how long their smallish bankers can upkeep such a beast. Seems they made their gamble now, but forgot that the round still isnt in it's final moments. This might come back to bite them soon, depending on how fast they can turn over 80's planets to the bankers (preferably with infra). If not, they'll start losing ground again very soon. Still, they got some good players, and a powerful attacker, so they might do quite well if they organise well.

6 Sex Toys (4870) [9,7]  160 247023 7176

Players : (Joor), Rchie, Meija, Flipmode, Lemonfresh, Glennvw

Joor's band of happy randoms ... without Joor. Losing Joor hurt them badly, and they seem to be drifting a little now. Only having 5 players will make them lose ground ever more compared to the fams above them, and will probably end up as food for someone else. Fighting for survival and trying to hurt whomever tries to eat them as much as possible seems to be their fate. Too bad, i'd have liked for this fam to have done better and proving you can just sign up on the forum and still do well. Shame on you Joor !
