you don't think its weird we attacking 74 more then 2 weeks, succeeding, a fam thats 3,5NW bigger then us, you stopped us twice now...

74 falls into the range of 40% much more then we do and you declare NAP when other one  has just been broken by you, thats what i read in imperial news, dont forget, everyone can read it?
BALLZ dude BALLZ, you clearly don't have them

@exceed: u were warned by Devilz..should've taken his recommendation, worked ur diplo with 74 then u might have a chance.

" 77 and 74 need to put their differences aside, and focus on the bigger threat thats looming" - Devilz

and oh, i haven't jumped my wizzies yet..jumping now.

i'm not crying (easy calling it crying when someone stands up against your bashing around) , i'm telling whats wrong here...
FU with your NAP
Seeing they had 0 intentions of fighting, because they dropped NW ?
why break it then in the first place, do you think we have intentions to get farmed ? did you ever see that, do you live in dreams ?

and i wasn't attacking 74 anymore, me and soulwax had an agreement about nap, not my fault it doesn't get signed by leaders, 74 leader never responded at my pm anywayz...

Oh and i shiver when you say you haven't jump wizziez yet!
keep it going with your opz, i'll never put a word in here again, meaning i won't cry again

That s**t made me chuckle

and you could always come to me for nap i am very generous person, never asking for to many planets.

made me lulz devilz   how about you guys take some planets instead of o we can totally own you so give us planets.

i garuntee you guys that 71 has taken more planets from napping people then by force.

lol my diplomacy efforts come straight from Training Day

You wanna go to jail? or do you want to go home?

pay me planets or destruction!

nah i aint doubting the diplomacy im just old school i like to take the planets.

I can not speak for every family but what I can say is that..........

We have been NAP with 71 all round and Devilz has not mentioned even 1 word of IA to me and neither has anyone else in his family.    In fact thinking back when we went NAP I fired Devilz over a message saying.

"Thanks for NAP if you need any assistance just let us know"

Please keep in mind its my first full round back after many years away

The answer I got from Devilz was basically

"The NAP is cool but as for assistance that would be classed as an IA so NO!!"

Been honest I had forgotten all about the IA rules and Devilz saying that reminded me so I went and read the thread

1. Well I Did Penetrate Your Mom (10071)      2030     32385684     111577
Overall Threat Level:  FINISH HIM

Having had the worst starting position of any family 71 was totally surrounded on all sides and could have easily been doomed,  however with good communication and team work they built a strong core quickly and in my opinion have maintained a really healthy balance between both attack and defense all round seeing them fight but also be diplomatic.

Now is perhaps 71's biggest challenge as there  NAP Cancel with family 67 is getting ever closer and could turn into the biggest war of the round so far.   Whilst 71 obviously have the savings and infrastructure its fair to say mistakes can happen, fleets can be lost, fighters can be run, laser traps or defense station can be hit, people can go inactive, so yes mistakes can still be made, either way I'm sure 67 wont give in without a fight.

Overall: For The Win

2. U smell fishy is that u Devilz (10067)       1775     22138836     98560    
Overall Threat Level: THE NAMES BOND

Having had a fairly decent starting position 67 expanded rapidly and aggressively at the start of the round and quickly got themselves noticed, not only by having a set and stable theme but also by early aggression and rapid expansion.   Not only did 67 find themselves in early conflicts with 70 and 77 but also with 71 and probably other families as well, in fact its fair to say they got a bit of a beating early in the round but they tuck it LIKE A BOSS!!

Not only did they take the attacks well but they have quickly rebuilt and have now come back to contend for the win and are a powerful family in their own right, in fact they have been aggressive, and have been quick to rebuild, and have also showed mercy to some families this round which shows both experience and honor amongst their ranks, at the moment however the match up against 71 looks like a David and Goliath story, can 67 preform a miracle and topple the giant or will they just get crushed under foot.

Overall: Contender For The Win

3. The Walking Dead - BYT (10066)              1319     20313874     83262    
Overall Threat Level: ZOMBIES IN SPACE

Starting in the far North of the map 66 had a fairly good starting position but quickly found that 70 and 71 were both neighbors and big threats, perhaps this fact alone left 66 a little isolated at the start of the round seeing them bunker down and exchange fire with several families including 71 and 69 and also think other families such as 74 got involved, so whilst they have fought they seem to have avoided any all out conflicts.

Think 66 deserve a cheer as they have played a good defensive round also with some aggressive expansion and fairly decent defense and core clearing practices, also from the messages between leaders I have found some good diplomacy there and a friendly nature. 

Overall: Contender Top 3

4. The Carnage Company (10070)                 1144     18637941     90396    
Overall Threat Level:  I AIN'T GETTING ON NO PLANE FOOL

Having had a fairly bad starting position wedged in between 71 and 67 it looked like an early conflict could soon spark, however growing quickly and signing an early NAP with family 71 seemed to bring some stability to the mid reach allowing 70 to continue growth just about unchecked despite a few skirmishes with 67, 69, 66 and 74 they manged to avoid all out conflict and was the first family to move South and begin setting up a second core area.

Building to a good size and holing top 3 for most of the round 70 grew into a big threat until the NAP cancel with 67 came.  Whilst 70 did out jump 67 and could have put up a decent fight 70 was sadly hit by inactivity (the war starting Sat night an all) seeing 70 take a beating as their players were off partying and chasing women overall however they have played a good round and would expect a lot more form these players in the future.

Overall: Contender Top 3

5. Epic Music (10074)                                        646     11009075     57659    
Overall Threat Level: WERE GOING TO KILL YOU

Starting in the South / East corner of the map 74 seemed to have a fairly good starting position tucked away in the corner of the map, this however has not stopped them been an aggressive family seeing them have various scuffles and skirmishes since the start of the round, in fact at one point their fleet was a considerable size seeing them cause all kinds of mischief, it was perhaps prolonging this fighting that led to them slowing in growth which has left them with a limited spread but they have played a decent round.

Overall: Contender Top 4

6. Unknown 2.0 (10077)                                       670     8638007     48198    

Starting a a decent position I kind of felt sorry for 77 because they have some dam decent players and nice people amongst them but after been early raided by 67 it really did put them back in the ranks, several other families have also had a go so its really not been their round, better luck next round guys. 

7. We're Getting There (10076)                                   762     8065727     45932
   
Starting in the middle of the map with 70 and 71 as neighbors it never really looked good for this family as they had a slow start to the round, seeing that however both 70 and 71 backed away and have really left them to grow despite shares with them, worthy of mention is Aeonflux he has played a decent round and some friendly vibes from this player. 

The rest have failed to grow or dropped to many ranks, better luck next time folks

yup! nice job,

@ Exposed_Bad

I agree totally some of the most brutal and best fighting is always done around mid table (more to fight for) I shall keep that in mind for the future kind of shows how a player can enjoy winning a round or even just having a great action packed round at mid table, this round however I have had little contact with the smaller families, by all means write one for them?

Round ends soon enough anyway.

unless your not in the top 4...
