I would actualy give GenChaos the odds only based on this.

So these stats have seen an increase in the playerbase?

It is and it isnt.
In previous rounds, you could block and basically make your galaxy or planet immune to incs. Any incs you get would easily be covered and you could sail off into the distance collecting roids.
This round, while avoiding incs as long as possible is the best strategy, you cannot make yourself immune. A solo surprise attack or fake or just a team up on you has a high chance of getting through. If someone is avoiding incs and gaining roids, they become a target which doesn't need a block to roid.
Blocking also always happends in PA regardless of stats but these might make for some interesting scenario's mid game. If there is a block against Inferno, what happends when Inferno crumbles? all 3 of the alliances in the block can and should go for #1 and they all know they can roid the hell out of the other alliances in the block? Inferno will probably hate the alliances in the block but when one of them decides to start hitting the other alliances and offers Inf a nap/ally, they'll take it.
P.S. but as Mz said, this isnt a thread about PA blocking or politics, if you'd like to discuss it put a thread up in AD. This thread is about whining about the stats and i don't see anything wrong with them at this point in the game except I'd of expected Cath planets to be doing a lot better due to the drop off in how effective EMP mid-end game is.
