Do another PvC please

woot go 2321

There has been alot going on and I havent seen one of these in a while so I made one.  No before you read this is how I ranked them

I took the families ranking in score networth and size and found the average to make a "power ranking"  Like golf the lower the score the better, thus the higher the rank ... in case of a tie winner is awarded to Planet Count ... I also threw in nw/planet ratio incase that is important to you (and so you can see who the fatties are)

Good starting strat was slow to develope but it lead to the two biggest bankers in the gal in White and Upkeep.  Recent wars ammong other top families and recent grabs from smaller families have allowed this family to grow swiftly and silently into the top spot.  Only question is can they hold it together.  But with Timmy calling the shots, flanked by the two biggest bankers in gal, an outstanding resourcer in small and an extensive attacking corps this family seems to be moving along just fine.  Only problems that can be forseen in the future is the alliance of 11 and 19.  Only time will tell ...

This family has been boasting the top spot for most of this round, and most rightfully so.  With the lineup that they have and the BOR that they ran it is no suprising to see them up here amist the contenders.  While securing early round NAP with 14 allowed both of these families to grow in realitive peace, planets are starting to fill and systems are less and less plentiful.  Furthermore, recent activity with 2310 has allowed them to be past, will that be their downfall, or will thier allies come and "save" them again. In the end there is only one question to be had ...  Will there be a repeat of last round, or will "our hero" get his revenge.  Once again; only time will tell ...

Not sure who all is in this family, but it dont really matter honestly.  With an early loss to 11 this family fell fast and hard, but like their name says, they came back ...  Until just a few ticks ago they were number one in size and looked seized to climb the ranks fast.  But now they seem to be nothing more than a prime planet fat target ready to be "drank up" Will they actually come back from the early defeat and make a valiant comeback staying in the top 5 to end the round, or will thier efforts be cut short.  Rumor has it war is in the very near future for them, this fight might decide it all ...

I honestly dont know much about this family.  Early on it appeared as though they might be the "weaklink" in their alliance, but recent actions in the war with 2310 has proved exactly the opposite.  Now that things are finished with 10 they need to hit the road in stride and hopefully pass thier allies whom have been ahead all round.  Will they be remembered as the family that saved big brother, or the sleeper family that that never could quite wake up.  We'll find out soon enough I am sure ...

This family is currently boasting the biggest none banker in the gal.  Although a recent delete dropped them a bit they seem to have recovered from it.  Also given their ranking in both Net and Size they are anything but fat, boasting a nice planet/networth ratio says they are getting thier "bang" for the planet buck.  If they can continue to grow make some grabs off of smaller families and not get hit from above look for them to end in the top 5

This family got some good additions this round, but it seems they have not used them.  They were able to make a good push in the late expo phase and were rising rather fast in the rankings, but it seems to have stalled out.  With things heating up with thier allies and 14 will they get drug into it and out of the top ten.  Or will they let 17 fall alone ...

With the loss of several key and experianced players this round it was questionable to say the least to see them survive.  That combined with Rhythm being gone for most of the start of this round (although I am sure it was relaxing) the family was slowed because of it.  Just finished with a war with 17 they are looking to climb, but being allied to 14 might put them right back in the same war they once were in.  Will they get thier chance for revenge or will 17 end up repeating history this time for a bigger reward ...

Recent hit with a short lived 24 hour war with 14, this family has been set back a bit.  Lossing alot of planets, having thier leadership replaced, and several smaller players not knowing how to defend themselves ... well you see where this is going.  Can Mike Guzovsky get his family back on track or will the following of Ryno up until this point lead them out of the rankings ...

Coming off of a loss from a 2v1 against 11 and 19 makes you wonder.  What happens if it was 1v1.  That said this family needs to start feeding, obviously they are good enough to handle the top of the crop but they just arent big enough to "handle" the top of the crop.  Take what you have learned and apply it to someone else, move on up and finish strong.

Had a little scuffel with 14 not too long ago but nothing major happened there and things ended before anyone lost (or gained) much of anything.  Not sure where this family is headed or what thier plans are.  But they seem to have a secure holding on the number 10 spot with a 200k lead over 12.  Make a decent push and possibly you can end a few ranks higher

For all you bet happy people out there ... here is my gambling advise

Safe Bet

2326 finishes dead last

Even Money

2329 hits and stays in the top 5

Risky Buisness

2319 passes both thier allies and 2314 to end the round as our victors

I hope you all enjoyed the PVC ... only second time making one so please bare with me

Funeral back in PW - #2316

nice job ravnos.... (i like it bc of how its exactly what i do for ranks in the ASS... and i like it even more bc ive been lazy lately and now dont have to do one!)

fun PvC!

I heard 19 was made up of one supercomputer playing all 12 accounts. That might explain why they are so efficient

Kelivut in 2311 is maybe half ported, and has no fleet.  Please raid him, if you dont, he said he'll raid all your moms.
