LOL ?
from my point of view
r2 - okish round
r3 - utter boredom - stagnation^2
r4 - good round
r5 - see r3
r11 - good but stagnated late round nevertheless
r12 - battle for #1 alliance was not finalised until the very last week - says enough ?

rounds i haven't played but info on, due to having friends who were amidst the "top battles"orso of the rounds:
r6- "good"
r7- stagnated
r8 - okish
r9 - see r3/5
r9.5 - stagnated
r10 - good but many hated pax gameplay
r10.5 - see r3/5/9

i'm sick of these retarded claims that "omg lolorspa will be uberly great if we go back to teh old system !11", generally its people who cannot understand change nor progress as the game progresseswho think that, also other ones so lazy and shit that they cannot be bothered to learn new mechanics and instead want some nostalgic game everyones played to death, stuffed up their ass.
PA is good because:
1] Fluid Politics
2] Fluid RoidExchange
3] Blocking is viewed as "Bad"
4] IT IS NOT THE EXACT SAME GAME WE HAVE ALL PLAYED FOR YEARS ON END
5] New game mechanics or well "ideas" are innovativeand increase need of more thought into strategies etc
ie: Xp - promotes ways of playing the game rather than the all-too-familiar roid/score/res hogging *yawn*

PA is bad because:
1] Bad stats - which may/better/should be improved
2] Not many players - more effort in advertising but this is a very hard problem to solve as there is generally a less of an interest in web browser games
3] Jolt's apparent priority of money over the community
4] Lack of a "full-time" coder and reliance on Spinner for all coding needs

Going back to the old system is bad because:
1] Neverending repetition is bad
eod.
