I think people tend to underestimate NewDawn. They've never been the 'best' I guess, but for a number of rounds they've been a very capable alliance, as proven again in the last (despite the suicides I am informed of
)
As such, I've gotta think they're in with a real shot this time, and I'd be happy to see them win. FO, if they come out with the same strength they finished with, will of course be very close. CT I don't know enough about yet, but I hope they're not another 'super alliance'. Like Kargool said, it'd be nice to see an established old force take one rather than another new construction (no offence to the members of CT of course!)
PS. Not so many mentions of ToF please, you made me post :/
PPS. Angels really were only occasional partners for us this round, despite the NAP. Unlike Vision, who we now <3
