@ Paininside: Regarding your post near the top.... i disagree. Get some yamas on the top fams and you will notice something significant. The top fams have infiltrated each other's core area. When attacks start tuesday its gonna be total chaos. If these fights go down the way i think they will....the top fams will tear each other apart fighting.
Yes....someboday has to come out on top of these fights. Thats the way war is. However....its gonna cost them alot of time and resources fighting a war (or wars perhaps). The smaller familys should take advantage of this and use it as an opportunity for growth. Hell...a small family could get in on the fighting by jumping an attacker or 2 and grabbing planets while the big familys are distracted with each other.
My point is.....not everything is as cut and dry as it seems. I could be proven wrong. Perhaps a few of these wars end abruptly and NAPs are signed immediatly. This could end up a being a boring round for a handfull of familys if that scenario plays out. Ultimately how much fun the round is up to us as players. We can make it fun by fighting as often as possible. We can avoid farming small familys for easy pickings.
lets keep an open mind and try to have some fun with this.
PS: Ill be writing another PvC monday before the real fun begins 
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!
