Some people have just pure luck with randoms and in the end they look fine... My fam will look fine even though they got the Uber-Nooblet Mizzle in it

haha awexome me and funeral tried raiding you. as we were both bankers we couldnt get that many planets before you went in protection!

Barbossa's PvC

-) It might be slightly inaccurate due to very little information that was given to me.
-) It's just my opinion.

2 Contenders FTW
1 Pretender FTW
3 Contenders for top5
1 Pretender fortop5
2 Contenders for top10
1 Dark Horse FTW

[ Euro Cup 2008 ] (887) - Redlink's family, he was gracious enough to give me information to write an accurate PvC. First things first, they are allied to Cloud's family - already making these euro cup fanatics a powerhouse in the S4. Equipped with three strong bankers and two more bankers the family is set to start off on the right foot. In attack they boast Seany and their leader RedLink along with two more players it shouldn't be difficult for this family to grab #1. I predict a top 3 position for this family in the first....8 days or so. But they will slip. Contenders for top5.

!!!THIS IS SPARTA!!! (881) This family, on the face of it, doesn't look extremely brilliant. However they have been gifted with the 2nd best map position in the galaxy and with attackers the likes of Azteks and Frenzy they should not have too much trouble protecting it. Banking dept is being led by Render who should comfortably be able to hit a high income with their attackers help. I do however feel that they lack a little in the banking sector and Render will have to play a helluva round for these guys to top the charts, so to speak. Contenders for top10

Chemical War (883) - Unfortunately, this family has been placed in a terrible position, close to Cloud's and Link's family. However they have a very powerful family, in my opinion only second to 882 and how they deal with Cloud's rash nature will be interesting to note. KrakU, haribo, Belhaven Beast are their main attackers who should be able to fend off the initial onslaught that cloud might throw at them. If they head northeast, and Haribo (i know its Harbio but im guessing its haribo) has been diplomatically astute i think this family can do very well. Contenders for top5

~ Euro Cup 2008 ~ (882) - Every round, there's always a family who people say 'what's the point even playing? just give them #1' and this round its these guys. Humidity, Cloud, McX, the list just goes on. However, what the server giveth with one hand, they taketh from the other. They've been dealt with a poor map position, wedged between two families. I expect Cloud not to back off, and to take the other families on the offensive, be it Ricking or be it Haribo. Expect this family to linger into the huge pocket of space in S3 and their general wave of direction will be down south, closer to their allies. they will try to exploit the west of S2 and the south/south-east of S3, getting very little resistance. The key days will be 2 weeks into the round. The family will have to keep its stability and trust in their erratic leader if they are to succeed. Contenders FTW

~Most wanted magnet!~ (878) - Blizzards family, they have been dealt a terrible blow with their positioning, luckily for them 893 are unlikely to be a huge problem, and a profitable alliance with 889 taken place recently is likely to make their chances of surviving this round more acute. Relatively unknown players in this family, apart from Blizzard and MJ. However with a little bit of organisation from Blizzard, and a little bit of aggression, they could prove themselves to be better than what most expected. Needless to say, the numbers they possess will help them for now, and how they go about playing the first week will decide everything. Contenders for top10.

Euro 2008 All-Stars (889) - Family led by Barbossa, and engineered by Craz3 it has been a promising journey so far. Equipped with a bucket-load of attackers, the family boasts a tight and secure attacking and resourcing unit, however it doesn't take much to see its weakness: Banking. Changes are being made, and the new alliance has strengthened the families chances. The closest family to S2, it is obvious where this family is likely to go. North of their allies and east is also a possibility. These whole host of options, linked with a hard-working family could be the surprise package of the round.   Pretenders for top5

▪FEAR US▪ (890) - Another awkward map position, however 890 have the advantage of being extremely close to an easily exploitable part of S2.  They are also well equipped with the likes of awexome, yomper and pickle.  However diplomacy here is key.  The family really need to mesh well and have already gotten an ally close by, otherwise i dont see this family going too far.  A good mix of bankers and attackers it is upto Pickle to lead them the right way.  expect them to flood S2 and drift north/north-west.  Plenty of space, could only be undone by bad choices in alliances.  Contenders for top5.

Unicorns of Pinwheel (879) - 882 a bunch of good players? Then what possibly would you call this lot? These guys are on par with 882 in terms of skill.  In fact i would say that they are better than 882 in the banking dept: toad, flashy, fune, oscar and bender are some of the best PW has to offer.  These guys have another killer advantage.  Their map position.  The closest family being 891, they are detached from the rest of the galaxy.  There is not one average player in this family and Weirdos has a pretty simple task ahead of him.  Let these players do what they do best - Win.  For some reason very little has been talked about these guys, it is almost as if they have passed under the rader! be very careful for major Infra whoring folks.  Contenders FTW

We are not really alive. (876) - Another family gifted with a brilliant map position, they are going to make sure they capitalize on this.  Cumsville holding the flag for the family he is accompanied by a whole host of players such as assassin, thunder and shumi.  They look extremely strong and their map position can only aid them in domination.  I do however know that Cumsville has been a little delayed in his search for an alliance, and i can only say that this has affected the family a little.  There surely will be attempts from the north to invade their precious S2, however if this family stands up to the names that it has, it should do just fine.  Pretenders FTW

Stephanie is HOTT!! (874) - At the beginning this family looked so promising, however the lack of additional talent has dented the overall resonance of domination that emits from (4,44).  A killer Camaar lineup the family lacks bankers, majorly, and looks like it will be going into BOR with 1 banker - TU.  Hopefully Brimstone has linked well with close neighbours and gotten the alliance that this family so badly needs.  It also needs 1 or 2 more bankers, and with that it will be enough to dominate PW.  Dont be surprised if your citizens' skyline is impeded by the fighters of Selur, or the trannies of paperclip.  The Dark Horse FTW

great PvC. it was a good read. usually i just read my own families one but i read the whole thing hope to see another one from you soon

thanks!
The next one i will be writing...will be between the 24th and the 26th.
I hope it will be more accurate than this one
if one person from each family could msg me a short summary of what is going on with their family between the 20th to the 23rd it would be greatly appreciated.
I am Thierry Henry, 889.

Good updated Barby!!!

We have actually just allied cummsvilles fam

very good barby

~ Cloud

my allies are gay X(

Nice update.

Hmm, nothing on 888 and 877? I'll try making up one then.

#888, Random in here for FREE COOKIE:
Fam seems organied as there is a nice mix of attackers, camaar and bankers. I don't  know much about Sith, but I heard rumors that he is Mizzle's gay partner so his empire's population would hit through the roof, thus more cash for the attackers! Lastly, you'll get a free cookie if you random in!

Top 5 contenders

#877, Small but deadly:

Led by some nub (jokes) who names himself after an Imperial Conflict unit. Basically a team of screwed up randoms (jokes again ). Has 3 attackers, 1 opper, and many many bankers. Not to mention, fam seems to have little activity... hehehe... Expect 1 or 2  players to delete soon, lol... Fam does have potential for top 5 if players are active and they get lucky with good randoms. If they are not active, well, then its top 20 for them!

Chemical War (883) - Unfortunately, this family has been placed in a terrible position, close to Cloud's and Link's family. However they have a very powerful family, in my opinion only second to 882 and how they deal with Cloud's rash nature will be interesting to note. KrakU, haribo, Belhaven Beast are their main attackers who should be able to fend off the initial onslaught that cloud might throw at them.

im not attacking as such becuase im on holiday in 4 days so will be opping cloud when he decides to hit us with link!

hmmm thats a matter of opinion.... 879 and their ally are looking quite strong atm
