I am sure when flashy writes it, it will not matter preround or not since you can hardly make assumptions based on the first couple ticks.

Now if it is after the first 7 or so then things change a bit

max build on Cf? I thought I was supposed to build Lasers, everyone always says do not forget lasers....Guess I better cancel my buildings.

But Correct, either way just a PVC would be nice I would do it but do not know everyone like some poeple do Specially since people went crazy with thier names this round

you lot complain 2 much

im writing the PvC now

a lot of pressure

just so everyone knows. i wont put size/nw ranks in on this PvC. and the predictions will be for top 10 and not top 10. since this early i can't really predict who is going to win or lose.

1       The Office Tools (1515)       13      14703      780

Seanyboy's family.

they look good, a very good mixture of bankers and attackers in this family, looks like they got their races sorted. not sure about why a revalon has so much nw this early but hey could it be a new tactic. erm i doubt it . only "big" name i can see here is seanyboy, whether this is due to name changes or just lack of "big" names i can't say. got quite a nice space to explore into arond their immediate area, shouldn't run into many problems straight away as they don't seem to have a big threat near them, key will be activity and working well together. contender top 10.

2       Number Theory (1513)       13      14746      1040

hate this family already. damn theme is a nightmare to communicat them or see who is who. im betting hummeh came up with it
only person in here i know is hummeh and he is banking, if he stays strong and keeps active he can be a reliable and strong banker, just don't let him touch you! nice mix of bankers/attackers, seem to have a lot of camaars. they can't all go HC attacker so i presume there is a SS player in there. again nice space to explore into straight away. very near the centre, quite a few families around them though, gong to need good diplo or it could get very squashed. contender top 10.

3       Nine Circles Of Hell (1504)

again few names i recognize, main one is cumsville the leader of the family, he should provide them with some good stability and guidance, if they are a bunch of noobs expect them to know how to play if they stick by him all round long. nice activity i see a lot of online signs around this family. good activity is the key! lots of bankers and 3 camaars, seems to be people like camaar this round, is this because of the only 4 weeks round, people want to get around quicker, could be a good tactic. not such a great spot on the map, lots of close families around them, they will have to be careful where about they explore and make sure they are ready to fight as i can see them getting picked on quite early if they don't have allies/naps in place very close by. pretender top 10.

4       Beer Thief (1518)

theives!

the lineup of the round i think. they have a great wealth of experience and good players. they have some great bankers and top notch attackers. can't wait to see what this family can achieve with their allies by their side. MJ, thunder and bender will supply this family with the cash they need to storm forwards. look out people close to this family they shall be growing quickly. load and qb will be backing them up with fleet, will not be easy to get by these guys. also one of the best spots on the map in my opinion, a nice bit of room to spread into and some clear air to set up a nice core. quite easily defendable and can branch out easily. contender top 10.

5       Destroyers of Worlds (DOW) (1507)

another family with a fine balance of attackers/bankers. good banker in numatic, a reliable and trustworthy banker. who will stick by his attackers dont know why missile is attacking he should be banking, if he was there banking would be meeting with some of the top in the galaxy. good strong leader in jesnt who will give them clear guideance and could lead them into a very good, strong position this round. very nice spot indeed, look to push outwards in all directions can see this being a good round for this family, if they play it right, they have to secure a large enough area to grow into, could see them being pushed back in near future if they dont do this properly. contender top 10.

6       ~Rock Legends of PW~ (1509)

FA's family

lots of nice names in here and some that could influence this round. Dominator, Axesome, geese and FA are just some of the players in this family that will be boosting the talent level up. can see them going very well through the round if they work together and keep active. with awexome banking and FA attacking they should be sorted in both departments. FA will be setting the pace this round with his well known resourcing skills. a decent spot on the map, are going to have some large families around them to contend with and will need to set up a good core that will no doubt be clean for their growth. i can see them attacking a lot and not holding back in this short round. i think that will be key in them going for a victory. contender top 10.

7       *** PW`s Elite *** (1517)       12      13675      1200

another family that i expect big things off. white L, most wanted, smalle, frenzy and pickle are just some of the big names in the family that will be pulling the strings this ruond. good bankers and attackers in this star line up. can see them working well together and having a great round if they stay active and communicate together. nice spot on map, don't have many big families that close and could get quite a nice core set up. they will need to be offensive from the beginning and take control of systems that are closer to their enemy. hope these guys have a good round, looking forward to see what they can do. contender top 10.

8       *** Peace For Pinwheel *** (1508)       12      13633      1200

humanitys family.
hopefully it goes better for humanitys family than last round. maxatron and forever are the only others i know of in this family. don't see any top bankers in this family but i could be proved wrong. can see this family having an average round but one thing im sure of is that their core will be clean with maxatron and humanity attacking. again a nice spot on the map, they should be able to make a nice core from the position they are in.

9       Mr Men On The March (1510)       12      13615      1197

another family with confusing names!!

cant say much about this family, they look to have activity to imrpove as i havent see many people online yet, good mix of bankers and attackers, only one camaar but he is top of the family. what has he built to gain that nw???
not a good spot on the map they are going to have to fight for thir position from the beginning onwards. news has it they are inbetween 2 families that are allied and aiming at the top and nothing below that.

10       Hot Chicks (1502)       12      13598      1197

ryguys and that is about it out of the names i know! if there are people in here let me know! lots of strange races in here and not a clear banker/attacker roles. also a family of not many online signs. doesn't look like there are good communication going on either. a nice theme good to see this theme coming back again and again. not a great spot but its workable, will need to use good diplo if they are to have a shot this round, can't say it looks to bright for them though, they don't look like they have what it takes to win.
pretenders top 10.

11       ~ Yes We Can ~ (1511)

Cloud's family.

Ricking, Flipmode and Communists are some of the people in this famly, with all these i can see where there attacking will come from, a force to be reckoned with. can't see them losing many wars with all these guys. obviously with cloud here they will have a good BOR strat and no doubt a banker or 2 in the top 10. but can they hold it up there and fight with all the contenders? that is yet to be decided. can't wait to see what they do and how agressive they are going to be. feel sorry for people close to them. no mercy will be shown. luckily for everyone else they have space around them, there first priority then shall be to explore lots and lots quickly. it will get very busy by them and im sure they will be attacking lots of people very soon. if all stay there and active then a top 10 finish is guarenteed.

12       International Beers (1514)

well. me leading again. what do you people see in me ? lol. crazyone and i have landed together again! how in hell did that happen again i cant really believe it. but this time we are back with a vengence. we have proper races lol. and a few others joining us to make it all the stronger. beers and midnight are some of the big names also with dweeb fitting in nicely. beers and crazyone will be in all of your family news soon so watch this space. as for the map i think its a great position as there is a lot of space to explore and set up a nice core to build on. agression shall be needed to make sure this family stays up with the best, a good round could be on the cards with their allies and them making a force to be watched!
contender top 10.

13       Colourful (1516)

don't know anyone. and to be honest with the amount of peopel who are online now it doesn't look to promising for this family. they will need to get better activity to make it. this could be a fearce round in pinwheel and a good start will be needed since the round has been reduced in length. not great position either, will be squashed very quickly by bigger families if they dont set up and protect a core soon. pretender top 10.

14       ~Pacific Whales~ (1512)

darksaint, omegatronic and dark realm are here. could be a good or bad round for these guys. they look like they have some organisation. are going to need to pull something out of their ass with the position they have since they are very tightly packed in. will need to be agressive to secure any kind of core if they can. pretender top 10.

15       Empires! (1505)

the family that someone doesn't want me to tell you lot that they are here. haha. blizzard and      Schnappers are in here will give this family a good base to work on. to be honest this family wont win this round since the competition is to tight. but they can have a good stab at this round and give any big families that come a long a good fight and prove that the little guys still matter in pinwheel. quite a nice spot on the map. got to say they should be able to secure a small core quite quickly. this will be key if they want to surviv at all this round. good luck to them. pretender top 10.

16        (1503)

these guys dont have a name ?? well easy to see who is here. VT and revenant will provide a good banker/attacker duo. but cant see where else this family are going to get their quality from. will be a hard struggle for these guys if they are going to make anything of this round. cant see much happening but prove me wrong. this could all depend on their great spot on the map. a huge amount of space, they should be able to explore and secure an area to protect.
pretender top 10.

17       The Dark Legion (1506)

an organised theme and nice little kid on the picture lol.

cant see anyone i know in here. good balance of attackers and bankers could give them a good round or a bad round. good luck to them as they are going to need it, a lot of big families around will be looking at these guys as targets to get easy planets. prove me wrong and steal the round guys!! fight for what you have and make it hard on any family that comes your way. not a nice spot on the map. looks like they are going to be squashed by some big families very soon. they will need to branch out quick to survive. pretender top 10

18       ** Last Man Standing ** (1519)

nice family here. craz3, turds and selur ku all good players. will need to work together if they want anything this round. another low down family for selur. time to work some magic mate i know you can! see those big families off and show them that the little guy is here to stay. a fearce spot on the map, they are going to be in for it. will need either good diplo or very good attackers to take a chunck of space for themselves. they will need a bit of luck to survive and good luck for the round. pretender top 10

19        (1520)

good luck. not much communication or activity but hey they have a shot. don't count the little guy out. not a lot can go right for these guys as i think they should just stick at it and do there best. pretender top 10.

20       We FOUR shall rip you apart (1501)      

name is inacurate but hey. good luck to the bottom family! im sure these guys will rise off the bottom and could easily end up 15th if they tried real hard. work together and help each other along with a not amazing map position could mean they have a alright round. pretender top 10.

-------------

thanks all FLAME away

Thanks for the PvC!  Good read. 

no worries flash, you can just hit them ingame for every complaint

That's not nice to mislead these people.

I sent you 4 in game messages. 

Not a one was "hate"ful in any way shape or form.  You asked, "...if there are people in here let me know!"

You asked for people to tell you names, I provided them.

Noo  -   there to encourage us all to start arguements over things that don't matter

like arguing over what PvC's are for

and FYI to the mods.. they should have started this round off with 5X the starting resources.. a faster start means more expoing right away. This way, it will be slower and there will be 1/3 of PW left unexpoed by EOR.

Beer Thief
Nine Circles Of Hell
Rock Legends of PW
Pw's Elite
Peace For Pinwheel
Yes We Can
International Beers

Top Fams of pw imo and to further break it down, Beer Theifs, Yes We Can, and erm most likely Pws Elite top 3 this round

~ Cloud

No one ever mentions me and a PvC.. Liberty is now sad.. and might go hang himself..
