1 12 Things I hate about you! (4401) [28,38] 13 14300 0
ateam, Spyro, Consumite, Juice, Artic, icey, metrex. A family full of inactives that really weren't even any good when they were active.
Their map position is right next to 4409 so expect to see a lot of early fighting between those families and 4401 to be set back quite
a bit by it. Pretenders for sure. Back half of top 10 for sure, look for them around 8-10 when it all clears out.
2 The Horde is back (4409) [33,52] 13 14300 0
Strongest lineup by far in the galaxy. Very solid banking lineup with an active and aggressive set of attackers. Even though
their attackers have had some rough rounds for the most part since Cap 1 and 2 and 4 for some, their main competition the last few
rounds that have given them a fight are allied to them this round so I'm not seeing any kryptonite this round to take on this Superman
family. Their allies and them have great map positioning as well. Contenders for win for sure.
3 ~ Blue Mountain State ~ (4415) [5,70] 13 14300 0
Sollen, Arganon, Gurney, Charlie, Dispo, OoC, Power, Fygaro. Fairly decent infra fam but lacking a lot of attacking power. Expect Arganon to
be killed off very soon after they realize just how bad of a headache he is. Biggest concern will be Activity and greed in this fam
as many of them have known issues of both. Their allies 4413 and them have "decent" map positioning though so expect this fam to finish in the
3-5 range if they can work out inactivity and Greediness, 6-7 if not.
4 ~Carpet Munchers~ (4412) [14,64] 13 14300 0
Jgriff, tbo, weedkillers, IC Death, Bullet, Smokey, JefF, The fake DP, Airwing,. Strong eco fam but very much lacking in attacking power.
Very big issue here with activity and lack of cancellation war history in their attacking team. Not to mention the IC Death Curse. Allies aren't too bad in 4417
but they will feel some pressure from 4409 at some point for sure and don't see their attacking team being able to take it. Map position is not all that great either.
Pending IC Death causing a catastrophic disaster resulting in deletions, Look at these guys at contenders for 2-5 in NW at EoR, 3--6 in size.
5 Stupid Songs (4411) [15,11] 12 13200 0
Inactive DK and a bunch of random baddies. No leader anymore even so expect no coordination and a few deletions as soon as 7 days is up for a delete to open up. Good map position though
but lack of everything else. Pretenders for sure, Maybe 8-10 if they can get a leader in to organize them fast and keep them going but don't put your money on it.
6 Fast Food!! (4416) [77,21] 12 13200 0
dimpel, hyukkai, fudgeh, DS, Sticks. HOrrible map position, horrible lineup. Just randoms. No attacking power, no real banking power either. Dimpel didn't even log on more than like 12 times last round.
Pretenders, contenders for 12th.
7 ~Final Fantasy~ (4403) [67,75] 12 13200 0
Masterfreak, Demonhunter, Deadly X. Not sure who is leading this family but definately not impressed by it. Weak on banking, weak on attacking. Horrible map positioning next to 07/09. Pretenders.
8 NHL (4402) [44,2] 11 12100 0
Edge, Sir Ontario, Hummy, Snowy. A fam bound for failure. Just a random bunch of people with no one that can carry them. Pretenders.
9 Fraggle Rock (4407) [71,52] 11 12100 0
Cougar, Mastermo, AA. Looks to be attacker heavy with few bankers. Activity, map positioning, and allies 09 make this family a contender for top 5 for sure as long as the bankers hold up.
10 Big Dragon Ballz (4413) [86,41] 11 12100 0
Smaug, TCO, WC, galeonis, Kristen. On paper this would look like a contending family for sure but much of this was 96 last round which flopped horribly so there is no telling. Activity
and dedication will be the issue with this family. They are allied to 4415 so we'll have to see how well they can work with those guys. With 08/09 to their southwest, expect to see some conflict
depending on which way 13 chooses to expand. Contenders for top 5, My guess is about 4-5 myself.
11 (4400) [11,39] 11 12100 0
portgas, joor, tobias, hundid. I expect to see some deletions here once they can and this family to disband. Pretenders
12 ***IC SpIdeRs*** (4417) [82,23] 11 12100 0
Colorado, his multi,Mors,broker,soccor 09. Mediocre Banking, Mediocre Attacking but still a decent enough family in this phase of IC. They have decent allies in 4412 though so that should help them.
Horrible map positioning. Eventually Colorado always lets his families down though so we'll have to wait and see. Contenders for top 5, 4-6 is my prediction.
13 Leader Messages (4408) [41,29] 10 11000 0 Orbit, Warhammer, etc. Had some badluck with people leaving, map positioning is ok if we can fend off 09. Still need some decent randoms. Contenders for top 10.
14 I see dead people (4405) [100,56] 10 11000 0
Trug and Snow. Trug will try hard to pick this fam up but it will do no good. Too many big families in the area and no attacking power. Pretenders for sure.
15 Rogue Incorperated (4414) [31,19] 9 9900 0
Pretenders
16 GIRLFRIENDS! Hayden would be n (4406) [19,52] 9 9900 0
undeath,spam,BoO,Tymo. I expect this fam to fall apart and people to leave. Pretenders.

Origionally going to be dispo's family but he saw the fail in it and gave up early. Pretenders
