### Stealing for a PvC Post ###
Ok, as usual, everyone is being a little secretive on where they are, what they are doing etc...

So I guess at worst this can be used to build on come future PvCs Excuse me if I have placed a player in the wrong family also! KT wont let me off my chain so i could investigate further with my magical prowess!

Just judging this on current NW, it will be skewed since its only early days, dont be too critical on it

Not too bad a lineup and map position. Will need to travel some what to set up a core. They have experience/decent attackers and uber infra planners. Quite a few randoms with their IHs open that I know nothing of and the odd player that tends to AFK mid round may be their downfall.
With their map position expect them to have some easy targets if planned well.

These guys have that underdog feeling to them, they have a crap load of space to explore in and secure a core, probably one of the best map positions this round! Im assuming IC_D will be attacking for them, hopefully his activity stays up so that they can continue to explore into the room they have, hopefully InSaNe will be backing him up cos he is a machine!! They have some decent fams to the north and south, but plenty of room to head east. Overall, they have a good bunch of kids and seem rather active for their start of round! Should be fun in there nonetheless Ill be popping back in there to talk drunken gibberish with them at some stage!

Same crew/same usual lineup + the infrawhore that they sometimes lack! These guys perform top 5 usually every round so there is no real need to harp on about their skills. Their room is/was pretty empty when I popped into it so I may need to return during a busier period to find out more info on them! They have plenty of room to explore north and being the usual agressive style type of family they have plenty of raidable targets to the east, if their infra planner will allow. Expect them to do well.

Quite a good lineup, they have a good all round fam here. Surrounded currently by other decent fams though I just hope they dont get in above their heads. Colo can be a real pain in the ass to other fams but can also be to stubborn to admit that its not in the best of his fams interest. Will be interesting to see how this all pans out for them. Somewhat boxed in, they have room to explore S/W a little if they can claim it quick enough.

Closest Rivals:6391(5th)/6384(10th)/6383(12th)
Decent attacker lineup here so expect these guys to be a pain when war time hits, hopefully their Eco will be there to back them up, Dixie may have a bit to do to keep these guys a float, hopefully they hand her a heap of planets. A bit of room to explore to the south. I havent been told much else by them. Activity seems normal but they might not fair as well as some of the top families so far. Ill be sure to pop back into their room at a later date to check their progress Portgas is also there and assures me he is more active than anyone has ever known him to be! Which means he will log in once every few days!!

Decent fam, got a couple of top fams around them so will need to chose their targets wisely or make diplomatic moves that may save them or bite them in the ass later. From who is in here I would chose the former! Boxed in a little for room to explore, but with this attacking line up they should be able to expand sufficiently enough to be a top contender. Shall keep a closer eye on things to come from this crew!

I havent played with most of these players in a while. Activity may be a little bit of an issue with these guys. Snailsex has a good idea on how to run the show and if he puts in the time they should do well. Their growth shouldnt be affected too much by the fams around them and map position is one of the better ones with a lot of room to explore east/west for safety. Good mix of TZs in here. Should help with rotating a fam bank easier and keep growth on the move 24/7. They have an underdog feel to them so I hope they surprise me
