Only the underdogs deserve an update
... but the real underdogs are too sucky to deserve one. ... so i did the 30-40 range ^_^ Underdogs, yet still with a chance to make something.
NW RANK ____ FAM
30 Hypno Crabs (1415)
Slid down here slowly, falling behind due to lack of effort and activity, or have you guys been on the wrong side of a war? Haven't heard anything. A few inactives there, looks like not everyone is putting in the effort for the fam. If you have any draft spots free best get in a dedicated player to replace them. Looks like a nice spread through sector 2 there. Although some of your cores look not amazingly clean. - Im hoping these are P-Naped or allied fams for ur sakes 
Contending rank 30
31 Capricorns Crazy Randoms (1430)
Were ranked 28 in last PvC. Rain, Aragon and Aboundi who were drafted into this fam some time ago, have had enough chance to prove themselves and make a difference here.... so why have you fallen ranks?
It looks like Rain has some serious fleet - which suggests you may be gearing up for some action
Looking quite planet-obese however. I wish ya luck - you may still prove that success isnt always dependant on a great SoR lineup. Contending 25-30
32 Ate 2 Many Planets, Gonna Hurl (1454)
Another fam which has gained rankings recently by using that fleet, activity is looking better as is their spread. A bit of reorganisation going on and if it works out for the better, they could rise up higher. A few good players at the very bottom the the fam who could use a jump to bring them into the picture. Contending rank 25
33 da niggaz (1418)
The term "p00ned" comes to mind. Fallen about 15 ranks warring 1455. A strategic vacation by some of their bankers to reduce damages? A few deletes too, sorta understandable in their current hopeless situation. Anyway, the players there do have some skill, and given the chance to recover they will probably climb back up a few ranks. It depends how many other fams hate them really, and are going to take the opportunity to grind them into the dust
Contending 20-25
34 feedin the bears... (1450)
Small core south of sector 3 there, although starting to aggressively seep into sector 1. Find a nice fam to raid and you could go up a few ranks. Although im not sure what you would raid them with... you dont have many large, active attackers there to compete in a warlike situation. Also top banker there is looking very vulnerable out of line with the rest of the fam, nearly 3 times as large as your 2nd largest banker(presuming swisher is banking). A few good estorms, nukes and hypnotize could ruin it for you at the moment. Contending ranks 33-35
35 last of the mohicans (1449)
With 4 small or inactive players not doing anything - best to either jump them or replace them now. A nice balance of players with a recent addition or two.
But a large improvement recently. Up from rank 40. More players are active (you got rid of that annoying fam name) and something is happening. Contending 35-40
36 Papi Fat Joe coming for u!
(1444)
Oh dear, what happened? Crashed and burned slightly since rank 25 in last PvC. Has a nice spread. Perhaps a little too aggressive for a small fam? Or perhaps IC players just dont like your gangsta image and chose to punish you by raiding you lots and lots?
Activity is mostly good. I think you just need to consolidate you position and infra whore it peacefully for a bit. That war with 1424 didnt go too great either. Could go either way from now on. Depending on how the move on from here, Contending 30-40
37 SKIIDS!!! (1456)
Your old fam pic was better and cuter
But you have been slowly gaining ranks since last. Not bad for 7 active players. All over the top of sector 1, but not in the bottom of sector 3 at all. The map cycles guys
Go cause mischief for sector 3 fams. You have low planets:NW ratio, fleet? Or just large OB? Time to shake things up a bit perhaps. Staying put IMO contending rank 37-38
38 We Roxors! (1443)
Fallen in ranks here. A good balance of players, just needs to crank up the effort and activity, start some jumps, clear those cores and get back on the rails.
Nice pic too
Contending 35-40
39 The Misfits lol (1439)
As i said in last 2 PvC's - nothing much going on. I stand by my statement. Lots of 1 planet dead meat there. Hard to keep hold of new randoms if you are ranked here and NOTHING IS GOING ON. O_o Get the handbrake off. Contending rank 40-42
40 One way to go... (1453)
Yet to see "lift off" The way to go its would seem is down. Not enough planets for your bankers, thats probably due to the fact none of your attackers are large or active. Draft and attacker in or pray to Stefan you get a decent random. OR this is gonna hurt when the wars start for you lot. Contending 43-45
