jesus freaking christ... pretenders again... oh well.

love the update ... love

Emi, don't say such things, dragonsup is an excellent player. And true, we lost half our players, what did ya expect?

my small fams always miss update by a spot or 2 ...

anyhow nice update. above average read.

g00d stuff nerd

courtesy of Emi ofc

So much good talks about Papi's, I doubt much is true.

Eh, I love readin the updates, good or bad, whether I agree or disagree. An, thanks to all who put forth the effort to provide em. I know it takes work.

An, gee Emi, give it a try! So just do the top ten, (or 15, or 20) LOL, I never would, but if we all ask Emi hard enough...........

Y'all don't seem to understand my position on alla this. I really dont care on fam rank or individual rank. I care about the game, and the playing of it. I care about honour, an fightin the good fight. I care about the fun of atking, not so much for the gains, but for the sheer joy of doin it. An being succesful or not.

1    Sup babeh? Want some? (799) (x:19,y:18)     590    1402525
An epic start with a two strong objective areas.  Sector 1 and Sector 2, you do the yama, you'll see their ridiculous spread.  But coming from an experienced crew of elro, love, death, gekko, and a few others, its hard to believe they couldn't do this last round, its almost expected at this point for this fam to perform.  On the plus side, their allies have rebounded quite nicely. Contenders for Top 5

2    Wings Sabre3 200 FATALITY =[ (806) (x:21,y:2)     513    1213586
Meh Familia! To tell you the truth, this is my first time actually starting off the round with leadership.. Usually I just micromanage until they finally say "Hey, why don't you just take leadership."  As it stands, we are doing quite well.  The randoms that replaced some of last round's crew are amazing and the activity has been spectacular.  Contenders for top 5

3    Marvel THIS!! (807) (x:14,y:70)     497    1032339
Naci, Tmk, Ilu, Scorp... some other randies that dont idle irc.  They are looking strong, their spread is setup in sector 3 quite nicely and have been bullying many fams into submission!  They knocked 790 down a bit, but that family wasn't supposed to be in the top 10 anyway.  Confrontation might arise with 799 on the northern boarder and 808 eastern.  Some detours they might face is a weakening ally as 785 has dropped from top 10 in the last couple days. Contender for top 5

4    Fruit is good for you! (815) (x:59,y:69)     432    994788
With some excellent diplomacy regarding 814 at the beginning of the round and probably a few other NAPs I dont know about, this fam has progressed nicely with their infra.  With a quite sector and the only other top competition at the other end of the sector as 801, 815 has a solid chance to make something of themselves.  Some pvc's stated this fam as weak, but their strong explo phase might setup them up for a promising finish.  Worries might include nightwish and genesis and knocking out inexperienced planet fat competition. Contenders for top 10

5    We were made in the eighties! (788) (x:53,y:31)     413    969469
Nightwish and LEWLEW and some others that i dont really know.  I know nightwish, but hes inactive kinda sorta.  His fam definately isnt the same as last round.  Their spot isn't that great so they might actually have to fight this round.  Their position is affecting their infra as many fams understand that breaking down their spread is vital for relieving any furture competition in this fam. Contenders for top 10

6    ll ll lll lll ll ll llll lll (819) (x:24,y:74)     486    964925
Everybody hates these guys, but its alright, i don't hate them, I just think they have down syndrome for picking suck rere names.  I mean come on, how do you even pronounce your names? Do you say numbers? like 2 2 3 4 2 1 2? EXPLAIN JOKESTERS!  regardless, with 808 803 and 807 bearing down on these top 10, but weak prospects, the proper diplomacy must be achieved if they want a chance to stay top 10.  Contenders for top 15.

7    Let the rhythm take you over (793) (x:98,y:23)     413    909588
I don't know much about this fam other than they have decent map position and really only have to watchout for 799.  Theyre infra looks on tact and with the correct evasiveness this fam might have a steller finish.  If they win a couple wars and nap a couple big fams that might want to destroy them their prospects look good.  Contenders for top 10

8    BeastsOfTheGame (801) (x:90,y:90)     429    908845
THis is another fam that has an ez start spot as mentioned before in other pvc's.  If they can hold their infra and plan their war targets with great organization than they can for sure contend.  However i dont like how theyre leader is staying as small as xbox.  Contenders for top 15

9    Guitar Heroes (812) (x:65,y:24)     429    861326
Having to deal with nightwish is gonna be tough, regardless if they are napped now or not, eventually nightwish and their cores will collide and a war will ensue.  799 has somehow secured a huge chunk of sector 2 and therefor are on the other side of 812.  If they want to survive the round, NAPs and lots of hidden savings will have to be in order.  As well as perfect planning/timing or else they will get farmed for their MONAAYY. Contender for top 15.

10    THE SYSTEM LORDS (808) (x:31,y:62)     392    844706
An early war set this fam of hardcore elitists back, but over the last week anubis and crew have gained 7 ranks.  He told me he wasnt gonna write another pvc until he was rank 5. SO this is all you get for these slackers. Contenders for top 8

11    We have balls (809) (x:61,y:95)     388    841951
Sir family.  Last round they had problems.  This round they had an alright start but encountered problems early on.  Now they are breaching top 10 with relatively strong infra.  With positioning directly to the east of 803, these two families are bound to conflict sometime soon.  Last round 663 dismantled them, this round my prediction is genesis will mount some sort of coordinated offensive. Contenders for top 15

12    Sleeping through class (803) (x:45,y:96)     332    782438
Out of top 10 but for how long? Sleeping giants and winners of last round.  Will they pick up the pace and jumpstart back into contention?  They are definitely not the fam they were last round, but are still considered threats because of their lazy stature and somehow precise planning and execution.  Contention for top 15

13    The Astronomers (810) (x:67,y:84)     315    757253
They are right in between a couple active fams.  Jets and SoccerBALLZfam.  Either way they shuold nap one and attack the other.  If they wait they could easily have both fams jump on them.  So far so good for these guys but the first war will tell alot about who deserves to be top 15/top10 and who just has a bit of infra and zero defenses. Contenders for top 20

14    IC`s Worst Family Ever (786) (x:18,y:42)     318    740085
Decent infra (better than a couple rounding ranked fams) this fam has some potential, but in the midst of sector 1 and all the huge explosive and deadly fams that surround them, i dont see this fam finishing past rank 25.  Unfortunately but maybe your team name should be a little more optimistic if you want a less pessimistic pvc. Contenders for top 25

15    Beta is back! (811) (x:72,y:61)     397    731686
Another sector 4 fam with alot of growing room to the north of their HS.  They are planet fat this tick at least and should start puonding infra... definately nowhere near 100% OB yet.  With 792 close, they must have some sort of relations.  My advice, overnight raid, knocked them down a few more ranks, get yourself a bit more planet fat and a bit safer. Contenders for top 15

16    Marvel THAT!! (785) (x:49,y:9)     324    687253
Nolio's fam with a bunch of mods (how did they all get in that same fam i wonder?) anyway they are missing the cursed sheep, but thats ok, hes getting buttraped with talic and friends.  They look like they are getting hammered by 799 which might have meant they were pushing over into sector 1 a little too aggresively.  Only time will tell if this fam will make it out of explo phase alive. Contenders for top 20

17    We be going mental! (790) (x:54,y:41)     314    663105
Another competitive fam knocked out of competition by early raids.  I guess if theres enough coordination they can take any banker down.  Word was naci/nolio beat sheepeh down and he had 8 lasers per planet... Regardless, bouncing back from that type of infra destruction is not very likely.  Contenders for top 15.

18    Dragon Lords (791) (x:43,y:53)     260    616405
They proved they could contend with limited resources and activity.  Impire is obviously a top notch player and gave anubis a run for his money.  NAP is obviously signed now and both fams are back on the round to reconstructing.  Anubis's fam bounced back way better and only time will tell if impire's fam can fight off another top contender. (who started that conflict btw? i forgot to ask) contenders for top 15

19    The Jedi Masters (800) (x:93,y:78)     257    518351
These guys have a decent planet count but are definitely dont have the cooperation to fill those planets up.  I see this family getting farmed all round unfortunately but surprise me! contenders for top 25

20    Forums Going Mental (814) (x:60,y:75)     247    492278
Jets... I'm kinda glad you dropped me as allies and picked up 790, infact, it saved me the trouble of kicking myself for pretending that zental knights and the sickness and whoever else from last round who do something different.  They grew and died, much like what I see happening later this round.  It sucks you got stuck with a bunch of Theme following inactive randies, but... life sucks sometimes playa, <3 u still tho.  Contenders for top 25

21    Standing As One (792) (x:75,y:67)     263    457706
Sector 4 fam that will have to contend with alot of top 15 fams.  These guys will probably be another farm fam as their infra is lacking and seem to be throwing explos out and not filling them up.  Either way, hard fighting by a couple members in a fam could change their rank but I see it going down because of their conflicted positioning. Contenders for top 25

22    BIRDS OF WAR (805) (x:25,y:6)     209    409388
Couple active players in this fam.  They are however surrounding by many enemies.  Their leader quackers is kind of a joke.  (He thought he could secure 26,95 cluster by himself -_-) you should seen his early explos out their, unfortunately, he didnt portal and 803 grabbed em right up.  Goodluck after explo phase! Contenders for top 35

23    WTHIH! - (who the hell is he!) (802) (x:44,y:16)     193    390511
MY MAN ROXXANE! this guy is my hero. he taught me alot back in FreaksSpiritAnimals (FSA) days when i started playing with wouter.  Its too bad that he got stuck in an inactive fam that getting knocked around by for example, 785.  Anyway, next round buddy! hang in there! Contenders for top 25

24    No name (787) (x:46,y:36)     174    308232
This fam is right in between 799 and 788.  Two hardcore fams.  I see them exploring and getting their explos immediately grabbed.  They probably have no spread and are filling up maybe 5-6 systems because of the pressure created by the expanding 788 and 799 families.

25    THE MINISTRIES OF IC (817) (x:2,y:3)     154    265475
After tonights Top attacker delete this fam looks out of the running for any type of stable finish.  Either the rest of the players will delete or just go inactive.  These once top 10 soloists are now looking at finishing in the mid 30ies rank.  If your going to give leadership to the most inactive player in your fam, make sure its somebody like genesis -_-. Rank: Struggling

damn its gonna be awhile for i do another one of these bad boys

time to smoke a bunch of bonghits you [pedometer] nerds

hes crazy man, u should see his msn pick, he is like a devil =x horns and red face and hot girls all over him, its lovely

ROX WHERE U AT MENG

haha, yes, last round we had problems. horrible diplomacy is the reason 663 "dismantled" us. we handled it decent, and if it wasn't for and idiot i handed reigns over to temporarily, it all probably wouldn't have occured.
