Id would try go for the claim that Spore and Vikings unfair politics would be the reason for their decline this round, allthough it would prolly not be the main reason for spore being smaller.
Lets be fair and say that Vikings have been held artificial alive for what goes for a top alliance since their formation, and if Spore had been putting more effort into this round they would be likely to be killed off early cus of their politics last round.
