what the hell i just did yama on top 25 fams so i will try an update since im bored.

Rank Family Planets Networth

1 Sting like a bee! (1750) 302 568476 15315
well with over 100k more eco than 2nd place a NICE area of systems already under control and with such attackers as tough; genesis; torqez and others and activity thats awesome what else can be said but contenders for the win. Highly highly doubtful any other fam will be able to get in any area they control and no doubt even getting close could cause a launch of fleet. This fam started off great and has never looked back and have a nice balance of banker vs resourcer and attackers; and seems they will march on to victory as long as they continue doing what they are doing. time will tell tho cause many things can happen.

contenders for number 1 in all 3 catagories.

2 *Poke-her Stars*ft. Kirill (1746) 254 463779 13661
another great eco fam with nice core in sec 1 and really nice spread in sec 3. shud do well with 4 revelons as far as income is concerned but with the soldier bug if it doesnt get fixed they will have to use that extra income to build many many figs so as to not get hammered. They look to be light on resource guys so maybe they are having to buy a lot off market idk. its possible that this fam and 50 could own sec 1 and eventually have a little tick war down the road. i see no one close to them to give them any problems till they start getting too close to 50.

contenders for number 2

3 Chemicals are tsh33p (1744) 240 448809 14236
once again like 46 they are top heavy on bankers and light on resourcers, but they have nice area in sec 3 they control but they havent made an attempt to move out of their sector with any spread which may limit them later in the round, but there is still time to fix that   They will have to start fighting either way they go if they want more space. the question is which way. I will leave that to them to decide. 

contenders top 5 but with limited space they could fall quick if they make the wrong decision on who to fight for more space.

4 The Secret Legion (1742) 259 438737 13427
This fam has nice fairly balance of banker/res altho i wud think by this time in the round that the bankers shud not all be ahead of the res. maybe thats why 50 is leading by so much since they dont have to buy off market like these last 3 fams might be needing to do. Nice core in sec 2 but other than one system in a different sec they have no spread atm. they do have a lot of room to the north and some to the south but not as much. east and west limited unless they have allies there. i see no reason atm why they cant be contenders for top 3 if they can secure there area and not get into any early wars.

Oh and unlike certain other fams who have a whiner about the soldier bug this fam was prepared

contender top 3

5 WET Fam ** (1728) 255 426687 14209
started off over exploring and it took its toll on them. they are 140k behind in eco and with the top 6 guys all income/research once again unless they are building resources with income based races they are having to buy also. looks like a real N00B WET Zebraz with his race lol. but it doesnt really matter there downfall WILL BE their attacking (or the lack thereof) with the likes of artic most people know where this fam will end prove me wrong and i will eat my words. they have some good players in their but they are banking instead of attacking and as such this fam will do good to stay top 10. They are all WET and the only thing that they have that looks good wet is their fam pic

pretenders top 10

6 Failure is not an option snail (1745) 214 393625 12143
another fam with a HOT pic well behind in eco and the fact that they have very small place to go outside their core area i see them dropping off sooner or later UNLESS their attackers bail them out. but to be honest i think they need to change their fam name to "failure is the only option" especially if they are allied to 28. as u can tell i dont try to keep up with whose allies are whose. if they are not allies with 29 then i think they will kill 28 and thus have better chance of staying in top 10.

contenders top 10

7 Kill All Humans! (1754) 228 359467 12855
fam has nice tight core but thats all. well behind in eco and with my n00b nephew KAH Barbados Slim in the fam the only thing they will kill is not humans but those that try to get in their core they can hold on to top 10 spot if they do super job of keeping their core clean but other than that they are trapped where they are imo.

contenders top 10

8 DO you KNOW what IT takes?! (1755) 221 356806 12457
this fam has real nice core and looks to be trying to spread out some. they are actually better balanced than some other fams ahead of them in income vs res. but they are well behind top fams in eco which will hinder them but this fam has great attacking crew if they are active.

Contenders top 5

9 100% Random (1734) 184 343898 10788
heavy on bankers and will hurt with the revelons at war time. also in a bad spot north of 50. they do have nice core area and with vigilence they might be able to slow down there demise but i feel they will not make the top 10 by eor unless they can work some diplo.

pretenders top 10

10 Transformers 2 (1749) 190 328032 11010

with the right diplo these guys have a lot of space to grow from sec 2 to sec 4. they have nice core nice nice spread in sec 4 and depending on who their allies are they look like they could be a top 5 fam if they do some scorp magic but i cant at this time give them a top 5 so

contenders top 7.

thats all im doing is top 10 fams; if u want to have an update by me then get in top ten cause whats the point if ur not top 10 at this time u will have a hard but not immpossible time getting there.

so blast away it was just done to give people something to read.

lol sorry

Yours is actually good from the perspective of who is in what fam and WS is good from the perspective of whats goin on and what could potentially happen.

> started off over exploring and it took its toll on them.

No. Inactivity and a lack of teamwork took its toll .

At that point in the game, this is something that you *dont* want.

we have 5 bankers... and we are pretenders for being banker heavy... while 49 has like 5 bankers and 2 quantams and a pax and i think another resourcer... how the hell are they not banker heavy and contenders for top 7 while we arent even pretenders for top 10?
i'm in 34 btw

You forgot <<< douchebag =p

Don't complain about the pvc, just prove it wrong

WS... good update

well, Gondor, no one wants to list your fam cause you're in it

But I still love you!!!
