OK time for the update promised tho late 
1 The Secret Legion (1742) 1257 7838377 83663
Since last update 42 has risen to 1st in NW due to few things, first they are a great eco fam lead by old vets that know what they are doing and the fact that 42/55 and 50/31 had a fight for couple days and in 2 different ways there were winners. 50 beat back 42 attackers (55 wasnt involved in attacking) 31 raided 42 of some planets and busted some of 42 portals while 55 nuked the hell out of 50
so as result 50 lost eco due to nukes and also spending on fleet instead of eco. then they napped so capri can look for a BIG cancel war down the road somewhere. what else can be said about 42, they have it in all gears moving forward not looking back. They have dropped to 3rd in size but ultimately both 42 and 50's round will be decided by their war with winner winning the round. They have great spread in sec 2 and cover their allies 55 core good but other than that they are like stay at home moms taking care of chores around the house and orbit/kagar dont get to go play soccor much 
Contenders FTW
2 Bill Clinton 1st Black Pres (1750) 1586 7535047 93912
Well 50 has done about everything right this round with great eco and no doubt the best group as a whole of attackers in any fam. This is proven out by many things such as if u yama their fam u see they have an area that they control about 300 systems and they do keep it clean
They have gained many many planets simply by setting large area of control and then killing anything that gets inside the area. Also like I said they did not lose ground to 42 they actually pushed them back along with beating 45 in about 1 days time. so attacker wise watch out
The only thing that shud be able to stop this fam from winning the round is to not be ready for the cancel war with 42 or to make stupid mistakes during the war.
Contenders FTW all the way 
3 100% Random (1734) 1074 6371027 64228
well scorpion has got this fam up and moving in the right direction. I dont know anyone in the fam except him but I do know he knows how to get a fam in position to win after all he won 1st 2 rounds of capri
currently 8th in size and surrounded by 50 and 42 they will need diplo real good to stay in the top 5 in NW and top 8 in size. Sorry tho I do not see them as contenders for the win with the winner of 42/50 war deciding that, along with other fams that have much more planets at the moment but who knows if they play it right they might benifit right after the 50/42 war.

4 We make it Rain! (1728) 1219 6229733 75690
28 has dropped in size from 3rd to 5th atm. still trying to hold on to top 5 in NW and shud be able to with their heavy banking as long as they continue to keep intruders out. I wud suggest they simply keep trying to infra whore and keep cores clean and stay in the background w/o much conflict and who knows they might make top 3 in size at the end. BUT thats not much fun tho
BUT the problem is they are WEAK WEAK WEAK in attacking skill and activity thus my reasoning to simply eco whore and keep clean cores and make top 3 possibly. They have nice tight area of control even tho they let a certain member of 50 get portalled with one of the attackers
and run his figs a little
Contenders top 5 size pretenders FTW
5 Failure is not an option (1745) 1334 5698555 72151
Impressive size rank coming from out of no where. After being beaten back for control of an area in sec 4 by 50 they have done quite well in gaining planets. (how I dont know) farming maybe or w/e i try to stay out of that stuff. the fact is they are 2nd in size and sent 50 leader a msg that they were chasing them down for number 1
Their eco lacks badly compared to top 2 fams but fairly close to other top 2 fams. They do have a good linup of attackers but seem to be a little inactive and I heard from a fam that said they actually were not attacking very good on them. They do have a good spread in sec 1,2,3 and thus shud be able to lets say farm their way to top 5 in size unless they get pwn'd by maybe a 46/28 war. anyway
pretenders FTW Contenders for top 5 in size
6 Poker Stars*ft. Benny Binion (1746) 1124 5597817 75375
well, well, well, Started off HOT and has cooooooooled down a lot. I dont think this fam has unity enuf in it, from reports I have, to be contenders ftw. No real spread except their core area. Never could get to far south in sec 1 due to 50
and some in sec 3. They have the abiltity to stay top 10 BUT if there is not unity in the ranks and no better spread then they have they might just need to hoover and cover their area like i said about 28 and ride it out to a top 10 finish cause war just might knock them out.
Contenders top 10
7 In The... Game? (1743) 863 5011893 57382
43 is still in the game, just not FTW
They still look like a fam that might get farmed at some point in the round. They have a nice tight area of control of systems but looks more like they are trapped for later feeding. so to be simply honest i see this fam as
pretenders top 10 and possible farm fam.
8 Guitar Gods!! Shreddin Licks!! (1731) 1179 4719961 53862
Best comeback of the round, thanks to Parrot holding things together while inactive n00bs lol finally got active and showed what this fam could do attacking wise. They have a great threesome of attackers and I heard GS and Parrot made tymo their butt buddy during their 3some activities. Thats just rumor tho. 6th in planet count and 8th in NW is a GREAT come back from like 16th or so. with their allies they will have an edge in any war they get into and by the looks of the yama's of both them and 50 they intend on owning those 300 systems all round long.
Contneders top 5 in size
9 Kill All Humans! (1754) 1229 4646126 70520
This fam also is just kind of home bodies not spread around and really doing better than shud be expected being surrounded by 42 and 50. 50 has kept both 34 and 54 (allies) in check and in their area. but they have a great area of control in sedc 1,2. ofc with about half the eco of the top 2 fams they will have an impossible time of winning the round but with teamwork between them and 34 they could get top 5 in size as there is a cluster of fams from rank 3 to 6 in size.
pretenders FTW contenders top 8
10 Dont Panic (1759) 909 4614747 61498
Nice BIG SS guy that hasnt played for like 2 to 2 1/2 yrs. I remember this guy the first time I played IC it was SD 3 man fams and he ended number 1 in NW even tho his other 2 guys were killed off. ofc fams with SS nowadays just dont finish on top. It's TEAMWORK as a fam that wins. I think along with their allies 43 they are ripe for rape/farm. I dont see them in top 10 at EOR.

Ok sorry I was little late but here it is bash me now cause being Bill Clinton the 1st black president and being found guilty of sex with that woman (hehe at least they didnt catch all the other ones I did have sex with lol) I can take it 
I am the flail of God. Had you not created great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
