Its pretty obvious that Conspiracy was the alliance that got blocked against this round, and for them ending 3rd shows how good their teamwork mustve been.
Alliances like Spore and Ultores obviously had a lot of incs aswell, but im sure that the concentration of the incs was the deciding factor why they could not win.
Ultores mustve had a good pre-round plan with block politics as CT/Spore/ND had more incommings during this period, but it seems like the Ultores block was too greedy midround, wich resulted in other alliances attacking them.
Ultores had 100 incs on average daily the middle 17 days of the round, wich clearly mustve set them back with the strategy they used with value zik/ter + cath in forts.
Spore had 110 incs daily the last 13 days of the round, and their strategy with zik/ter + cath in forts did not turn out good enough when ROCK/HR/Ultores/Vikings/FAnG blockwere crashing for roids and losses on the Spore side.
I wonder if Vikings and Ultores gave up too easy this round, and if they had given it a go if they had decided to go for XP instead of value like some of the lesser alliances did?
