8008~{SMURFS}~Recognizable : DroidDK, Amspir, Timonthy, Saabs and Ramza...Conflict of ego's here. Ramza and Amspir neck to neck again. Reliable ones DK and Timonthy. A lot of new people too (noobs), still much more to see with a full family of active, much can happen still.
Contenders -"if they end themselves"

GOATS
Recognizable: Espen, Good 'Ol Mitch, Sh33p, Aviici aka Panda, Space Puppies & xixi.
Odd line up. Especially with Panda and Sh33p destined to troll the round more and more. Nice to see xixi and had a fun round getting whooped by space puppies. 
Contenders- "if they step it up"
8002
In Progress
Recognizable: WiWi, Flashy, Galeonis, & Pixie rolling along.
Funny most of these guys have been life savors in prior feuds of different rounds. Others have grudges that out live the jumbaliya. Interesting round to see with the return of lazy plus lazier...
/me looks at Galeonis & Flashy. 
Contenders- "if they dont opt out inactive"
8003
A Throne of Games
Recognizable: New mod Thor, New owner Reindeer, & TBO...
Hairy carey had laid with a fairy and this was the outcome. It'll be funny to see some of the best new talent ride with these old school. I will like the view and then some. 
Contenders- "if new talent gets school'd correct!"

Nuclear
Recognizable: Lustin (Mr. MeSoHorny), TBO's double TB1, & TCO...
A lot of old faces and equal new ones too. Looks like this is a family filled with active and experience players, they may easily take the win, if they balance the roles and pray for a miracle no one should miss this! 
Contenders- "if fight or their turf early then later on..."
7990
Street Fighter
Recognizable: DK is only one I easily see. More might be hiding behind party masks.
Very full family, signs of activity, organization (love theme) is coordinated. Much to see if the round falls to a bunch of street bandits. I like what I see nevertheless... 
Pretenders- "don't know why but in predict FAIL!"
7991
The Philosophers
Recognizable: Knox, Apoth (might be the vet), Nagant I've seen for few rounds so far, a foohon here and Hookers....
A lot of active people. Knox a good ecologist. Nagant a fair attacker as well as Hookers. Foohon not sure which this might be but there legendary standing as an original family as it is... 
Contenders- "might get into early wars though"
7995
Silent Force
Recognizable: Only bansky and lone tiger for now...
Fair share of people looking active and prone. I love the theme and there is a nice look to it. Maybe more to see don't know just yet... I predict an easy fail but they might prove me wrong.
Pretenders- "Another average Joe family!"
7998
Symbiotic Organs
I see an undercover rook. A very experienced underrated former banker. A nooby attacker and a sly fox trying to work an easy meal. Let's not make it this easy fellows from old IC communities universal. Keep up the pressure and we dine in HELL TONIGHT!
Pretenders- "false provado!"
8004
Spaceballs the Family
Recognizable: Gwynedd, Rising Down and another yet again fading voice...
When people play a game to win they focus on it as one should. When someone plays a game as virtually violent and viable as most board games and develop a face to whine too it's annoying! But then again got a few mods and vets to mow around and maybe there is just a bunch of noobs calibrating another fail for the books....
Contenders- "maybe active Noobs.... Grrr!"
7999
-Homeless Bums-
Getting the Devils sloppy seconds isn't to bad. Playing the remainder of hell to win a patch in one L priceless. Seems like the under dogs always have a hidden cache when winning time comes.
Alundra, K9, and Spartan in here. Anyone else seems to hide for good reason. 
Contenders- "anyone up for thirds?"
8001
Why so Serious?
Recognizable: BlueMonkey (barely it's been 7-9 rounds ago since then....) & Schnapp he needs a new bottle of Picard. 
It looks like a few noobs I can see, from registration logs, are in here. No place better to be with such vets as Blue from old vandur fam's that have been around since beta' such as foohons, monkey and gypsies. Schnapp here too looking like he survived the holocaust. Let's see what happens with extra responsibility handed to leader with new underlings to care for.
Contenders- "catalyst to a number of unfortunate events."
8009
Waldo's Revenge
Recognizable: Kuwait and Waldo's mic stand in.
Let's worship the successor's to the Royal Brigitte of Waldo. Looks like hard core contenders might have resembled. Or just pretenders looking for a score to settle with a H@rde4 rep brushing the seems.
Pretenders- "no one out there is ever offering that beating again!"
8007
,.
Cpt Apollo and maybe Mr. Power Boom himself here. Not sure... Got to hit the block with a remount and re-up. Nice to see some original players hanging in.
Pretenders- "anyone real ones left? "is anyone home?" 
One life to live in is all that a person needs. When traveling down a road looking for the ascension to greater things, all that really matters is the way you got to the end, when you reach your final destination did you help or hurt more?
