whats the occasion infra jumps for HC attackers?!

Their pilus is bigger than our pilus now

Farmer!

I was playing around with excel a bit and came up with the following...

I tried to determine the strength of the economy of the families that are currently in the top 6 of NW. To do this, I wanted to account for several annoyances that make plain NW not a good determinant of a families economy.

These annoyances included planets and attacker NW, so I decided to make the following categories
- NW per planet
- Pure NW: NW with all planets deducted (so NW - 800*[number of planets])
- Attackerless Family NW: the plain NW of families with the (combined) attacker NW deducted from it. For this I had to determine who were attacking in what fam (which I may have been wrong on) to find out what the combined attacker NW of each family was.
- Attackerless Pure NW: same as "Attackerless Family NW", but instead of using the plain NW of a family, I used the Pure NW. I think this is the best determinant for a family's economy, as it accounts for attackers and for planets.

*** Do note that some attackers may be producing resources, and that there is a chance that I used the NW of an attacker that was doing a jump for another planet right when I took these ranks. These may make these calculations less accurate than I'd like them to be ***

The results were the following:
As of Week 12, 11

Family    Family Networth    Planets    NW/planet    Pure NW    Attackers    Combined Attacker NW    Attackerless Fam NW    Attackerless Pure NW

With these date I will attempt to write a mini-PvC:
1    Fun is Infectious! (6560)
NW per planet: 10 063
Pure NW: 12 856 728
Combined Attacker NW: 4 174 773
Attackerless Pure NW: 8 681 955

Their plain NW, NW per planet, and pure NW are impressive, however a lot of this is in their attackers: this is the highest amount amongst the top 6, almost twice as much as 58 and all other fams. However, their Economy may still not be as bad, judging by their Attackerless pure NW. Having only 2 attackers, rather than 3 like most other top 5 fams, may become problematic when they get into real cancellation wars as well (one can hardly call the target practise they did on 51 a cancellation war).

Contenders top 3, if not FTW

2    Serial Killers #Amateurs (6558)
NW per planet: 8 735
Pure NW: 11 798 936
Combined Attacker NW: 2 123 072
Attackerless Pure NW: 9 675 864

Very impressive economy, definitely the best in the galaxy. Attackers aren't sitting on strangely-large amounts of NW, and the fact they have 3 solid attackers gives them stability.
I do not have a lot else to say about them, although it seems they just got Templare as well... like they needed ANOTHER good player :\.

Contenders FTW

3    Thr let wor (6563) [60,59]   
NW per planet: 7 127
Pure NW: 10 059 278
Combined Attacker NW: 2 390 919
Attackerless Pure NW: 7 668 359

The comeback kings, perhaps a bit planet fat due to their recent comeback, boasting the lowest NW per planet of all the families in the top 6 (although by a small margin). 4 attackers gives a lot of flexibility in wars, and provides this fam with a lot of usable morale for the first few ticks of a cancellation war and possibly large surprise raids without declaring war (although with the new pmode mechanics this is a lot less of a problem, and declaring war isn't that big of a hassle).

Contenders FTW

farmed some small fam to the ground recently?

totally out of line and unnecessary

we be very peaceful:p

I was hitting lee's fam since day 3/4 so no I'm not picking on the little fams. I know For sure i have the least naps in this galaxy too

Checking my fam news sais otherwise.

You are farming.
Plain and simple. We are no threat and yet you continue too grab planets.

Farming is pathetic.

Lying about it?

Damm boy.

They hit my fam pretty good (6554)
No vultures plz

bOTTOM fEEDERS (6552) has DECLARED WAR on us.

We have DECLARED WAR on family bOTTOM fEEDERS (6552).

Good thing you can take your aggression out in MW. ;-)

Dukey asked and not much later 6558 delivered!

They canceled the 48H nap on #6563, vultures stay out and keep out, we will be keeping an eye on you

6558 savings own us, their spread owns us but we aren't planning on making it an easy farm for them

what ticks it all kick off I think ill have front row seats as u both share in and around my core haha
