PW PvC Update!
1 esreveR (8098) [46,15] 463 1740742 24965
It took me a moment to recognize the theme. One of those doh! moments for sure
eeL and company took a massive lead at SOR. It comes as no surprise with their teams infra skills. Kumsville, Stan, Lee (lol Stan Lee, couldn't resist) well the whole lot of them. An early war with 96 slowed the pace but appears to have netted them some planets. Certainly the increased planet count will give them another big push for infra and NW. So far the biggest spread in the galaxy and perfect map position on all the top fams. esreveR are the team to beat as long as Lee and Airwing have the time to keep em going on the attacking front.
Contenders ftw
2 90's Villians Yo (8099) [4,31] 263 1439774 16146
Washed up once upon a time ago rock/rap stars ftw! It's another episode of the surreal life but far more functional. This fam had one of the toughest starts with map position. Not many close systems around for fast swaps and good growth, coupled with a few set backs and an inactive Azt3k hurt a bit at first. However they came through with good infra jumps and an aggressive spread to currently hold #2 spot. Azt3k is one for a bit so the offensive is for Amspir and SB to push their spread farther and keep the top fams around them in check. Pacifist paxing will be a serious boon for their chances. MJ and HellsAngels both at the popping helm makes for great econ to contend.

3 Mighty Morphin' (8100) [26,18] 355 1308571 14185
Will the Evil Lord Zedd show his ugly face in PW this round? Unlikely with these guys powering up the Megazord!
Alundra in the first role for the pink rangers leadership is showing some skills. Good infra and a great place to set a core down.they did lose two players early. One an attacker and it may things tough for Kuwait as a solo hc. If they don't get out to attack much this round diplo and core defense will keep these guys going strong. This is especially so with having killas and whiteheaven banking.

4 TMNT (8093) [17,25] 359 1220152 16826
I'm surprised Casey Jones was so good with money, who would have thought he was good for more than a good ass kicking via hockey stick?
Devilz went Raphael and disappeared for a min
But it hasn't stopped the rest of the gang. Stiks is leading these guys well and with I'm sure a good hand from Humi on the infra side. Good position to set up on a number of soon to be fat fams but also a target sandwiched between. A solid core so far and I'm keen to see were their spread takes them the next few days. It will certainly shape their round.

5 BoOzE (8096) [6,16] 307 1186314 19695
I have reason to believe that much of IC is composed of alcoholics. Raise your hand if you have been in a booze fam and had at least one night in chat completely hammered with the whole fam. I know I have
Wiwi doing good things for these guys and Easyway backing him up. SOR was strong and with the help of Ramza's ops they fared well against a few day fight with Lee. Now where do they go? Sandwiched in like 93 but plenty of good options to expand. Diplo and war will be much a part of this fam the coming week if they want to expand. Good banking crew with darksaint, banksy and rebelzombie will be the compliment what makes them a serious contender
Contender ftw
6 RockNRolla (8091) [55,23] 236 940718 13784
Who wants to be a Rockin Rolla? Question is who doesn't. I'm ready to see these guys biznatch slap some one with some strong attacking. Sadly though it looks like they may be spending to much time in rl being Rockin Rollas. If they pick it up on activity there is a shot for a size win. Nightwish on the solo attack with Sol inactive for the moment. Get after it Sol! Bluee seems to be active and leading these guys in the right direction though. They have plenty of space to their south and should do fine provided they keep top fam neighbors off their northern flanks.
Contenders top 5 and size
7 Korean People's Army (8095) [5,3] 278 864097 14228
One thing that sets these guys apart from the real deal? They don't bluff. Venom and kingsnine have raided a few fams and are still going strong on one. Decent infra and not to much fleet wasted on big attackers. Meija will play aggressive the entire round so I don't see an win through NW but maybe a run for size. Let's see how they fair up against their larger neighbors the next few weeks. Maybe we will see some surprises.
Contenders for size win
8 5th Grade Spezials (8090) [25,6] 377 767793 14063
The short bus had a rough go of it at SOR with randoms trying to jump of the ride (The short bus here in the states was the special kids bus at school for those that don't know
) Render has ofc pulled the fam together to create a fat core with some nice prospects on a few sides. Econ may not get them to the top with the race selections and their roles but I'm guessing it was ad hoc after the randoms bailed. No worries there though as both the quantum (DK) and the pax (forever) will be around to do some serious op damage when needed. WL and Render can make some wars a scary situation for another fam so long as they keep bigger fams at a distance.

9 Noobs and Inactives United (8092) [46,3] 253 499803 9775
The biggest noob in the galaxy strikes again!
Flashy is leading they way after a recovery from and early war fight with 95. That kind of fight can kill activity in a fam bet they seem to be recovering well. Pushing a good spread for their small size and looking for targets in their range i expect a bounce back but I thinks it's to late to catch up to the bigger families with established poppers. Luckily their top banker is the reliable beers and that will keep the econ up as they go on the offensive for a fun win as well. Flashy will be attacking everywhere and if he gets mizzle into the action a few fams better beware.

10 South Korean Republic (8101) [15,38] 207 451213 9316
SK is handling NK darn well and with no Outside intervention! Had good first few ticks at SOR and thought with cloud helping on infra they would be contenders even with waldo as an SS. ( We did it with xeno ftw the last 7 man setup pw had ) I hear communication at start was poor however
It happens to the best of fams sometimes. Cloud left the fam after a day or so of 95 raids and I thought that would be the end of em. Blizzard has fought back well though and wont be farm food for the red star today! IMLC on infra and TBO banking will give them a nice recovery if they get soon. What ever happens this round, 01 wont be farm food
Top ten

(8094) [36,25] 151 406501 4676
Not sure who is left in the fam besides firefox. All great players originally in the fam but i don't think anyone was active
Well hats off to ya FF and give it your best and take at least top 10 for yourself in the player ranks!
12 Primo: The Galaxy that Wasn't (8097) [34,37] 99 264413 2031
These guys never even tried lol I don't know what happened but it was a fail. Another potential great team with nothing to show for X( If these guys and 94 would have made a good start pw would be twice as interesting this round
