LOCATION: West Sector 1
ALLYS: 4690
NOTABLE MEMBERS: Luster, pitbull, kollop, parrot, impire, orbit, schniepel, marauder, runem, hydroP, ninja
Wow!! this family is stacked! Top notch skilled attackers and excellent bankers. Their alliance is the closest to each other in the galaxy with victims all around them ripe for the plucking. There are a few negatives however. They are being led by Luster who can be a bit erratic at times. Can he hold these strong personalitys together? Im betting he will not be the leader by the end of the round. If these guys can stay active and interested there are few that will be able to beat them.
CONTENDERS for top 3, if not the win.

Key Player: Luster
Holla!!! This is my favourite team, they have a strong lineup and they could done already big damages to some big families, Infra is going normal (I actually expected a bit more from u guys), but they are very organized in the attacking part. I heard that the Great Impire is playing in 02 if thats true that would explain why Luster is attacking so well this round, after the last Disastours and Horrendous Hording Round. One thing I like in this fam is that they are here to win but also to have fun, good atitude. I have to say I didnt love the switch ally trick but sometimes fam get criticised without knowing what happened. I dont know, and I would love to hear an explanation. 02 and 92 are both strongs fams but lets see if they work well together, too many big egos in the same alliance. One other thing somehow they are not using Anna (for me the best resourcer in the last 2 round) to their advantage. Dont know why
Contenders FTW
3/1 ~Mexican Wave~ (4702)
Leader: Luster Important players: Luster, pitbull, kollop, parrot, impire, orbit, schniepel,hydroP,
A family full of talented and skilled players. I dont see any problems to see them working as a team as everyone from them is easy to handle.
I see tem as a favourit for the Win as they combinate everything important. Infra should be well planned and i dont really see 1 guy doing it alone
but i dont know who is doing it. They are just 3rd in NW but i bet it is because they invest a lot in defence too which is slowing down. The mapposition
isnt the best but they should be able to fight their way trough it and it looks like that they did.
Summing it up:
Good infra, average attackers great activity not to forget that they have special players in every role. Lets mention Orbit and parrot as attackers,
Schniepel as one of our best and most reliable resourcer, and kollop banking (which isnt so complicated) they are hard to beat.
If they dont win the round it is a big dissapointment to me.

Again a great fam. one of the 6 elite fams who have demonstrated there strength this round. everyone knows there line up. awesome players. loads of activity. there lamest move was dropping 90 for 92. proper gay move here. but was best for there chances of winning the round i suppose. this is probably the strongest alliance and they hold a massive core. with there attacking line up i think they will contend for no.1.
Rank 1-2

These guys have finally decided to hit thier stride after slacking for a week or two, with this war 91 they could be first to 2000 planets and with a war in the future with 03 and 89 i could really see this family winning both wars and win the round in size. Only thing that will hold this family back is intra family fighting.
The Great Rizzy's Prediction- Definate contender for the win
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
PVC's over the round. Thanks everyone for having faith in us old timers. It definitely was not an easy round without its bumps. I would just like to comment on a few things.
As far as our round went I am sure a lot of people did not like some of the moves made throughout with things like dropping 90 and warring some of the fams we did. But honestly without knowing the interior moves that were going on and all the different steps along the way its difficult from an outside view to understand why they had to be done.
02 tried for the most part this round to play as honorably as they could. There were many instances where we could have seriously farmed some fams we beat but we decided to NAP them instead and only gain a small portion of planets in comparison to what we were able.
As for the 03/89 war it was by far one of the funnest that I have been a part of in a long time. This was a war going in we felt like we were going to lose. We decided early on that we were just going to gun after 89 as hard as we could and then watch as 03 raped us. However, due to us not really making any major mistakes and 89/03 both making huge mistakes and having a little bad luck with rizzy we managed to survive and win the war. I understand it is not over with 89 at this point, but if we are being honest they are finished....
To all the different fams that we fought this round, I thank you for the fun. Sorry if I wasnt extremely active this round (but I was the 4th attacker in this fam) and I hope to see you on the battlefield again sometime soon.
Best of luck to all you other fams fighting for 2nd place and down.
oh btw, good call on us finishing the round without Luster leading
