Only time I have ever changed alliance is whern the one I was in disbanded, and I always followed the natural progression from the disbanding alliance.

Re: are 1 up playing this rd
I never said you'd changed, I didn't realise you were still playing I should have guessed. The 2 major alliances I was in died, despite my best efforts to drag them kicking and screaming into the next round.

Re: are 1 up playing this rd
It'd be cool if it was like the FA Cup.
"Sorry, you've played for an alliance this round. You can't play with another alliance until next round".
That'd seriously cramp people's style

I am busy with my legal practice course at the moment. As we speak i am learning stuff. I have exams in 3 weeks.
A logbook entry takes 30mins to an hour to compile and format and then reedit when i'm finished to remove any trace of bias or implication of bias.
Clearly, we need a volunteer to write it, but it would have to be someone who i felt could do it justice.

Here's a current happenings in a nutshell; Insomnia and NewDawn attacking Omen, Angels helping Omen to attack NewDawn and Insomnia. 1up are taking a huge lead in both score and value since everyone seems to 'forget' them.
oh and ROCK is in a war with F-Crew (right?)
(all from my POV ofc.)

Code:
1 Omen 32081 59 1,204,727 71,078,949
2 Insomnia 33263 60 1,144,909 68,694,577

13 TGV 21450 51 814,239 41,526,202
They're only 10 million ahead of you. Omen are 30 million.
Well, Ascendancy beat them on 'their turn', so now it's someone else's turn to win and then they can win next round *

I didn't say Subh was? ND is planet-targeting Omen however.

ND and Insomnia are both planet targetting Omen, so should SubH do a galraid on an Omen included galaxy it would obviously appear (to a view) that they're hitting "with" whoever piggies - or gets piggied by - them.

All 4 are correct ...
I replied on the Mek's post who suggested I should update the logbook. Now, guessing that it was an ironic suggestion of him, I made a fitting reply.
It has nothing to do with you JBG ... thx for correcting me though.

why should we not planet targetting Omen when you had the pleasure to be the first ally that naps one of the top alliances from Tick ~100ish?. We talked about it in pm...its just mysterious that Omen escapes a few nights with a 40~ish calls while having a roidlead of 3-4k rocks...hmm makes me think...ofc all coincidence.
Good luck in the further round. And you wont win Keizari. Let's face it.

Funny where this all brought you, Anti, getting attacked by your loyal wingmen yourself, and ending up bickering with them too. Realizing that maybe there's an alliance even stronger than Omen, which has been enjoying the beach while certain people make their "quick descisions". Remember? It's funny how you turned from "Omen needs to be roided damn bad" to "ouch, I think we might have assessed the situation bad, will you Omen guys help us now then?".

Keizari...stop stirring the shit. You know the state of play yet you as the strongest alliance are unwilling to take the hits that come with such a decision.
ill talk to you on irc later about this, so id apreciate if you drop the crap. thankyou

Can you see someone willing to take hits? Insomnia, maybe? Angels? Anyone? What I am - and was - saying, is, that the round is coming in a bit of a deadlock where there are more or less rumors about 1up rising, Angels has been sticking on the side of it, and the other major alliances have been fighting in a 2-v-1 fashion for a few bumps now. The fact that there are only 4 (or 5) alliaces in the circle makes it rather dull in a way of a dead end.

looking at the numbers, I doot this is necessarily correct (my opinion).
To suggest Omen as some kind of victim when you're #1 with a reasonably ok gap is also pretty proposterous in general.

Re: are 1 up playing this rd
I think we have to thank Insomnia and NewDawn for not making this round turn into another r10.5 because Angels and that dragons spin-off alliance are so shit scared of phantoms that they'd rather bore pa's playerbase to dead once again instead of making a really interesting match opening up in the top 4.

This is a fallacy, and I think r11 Lokken would agree with me. Was LCH not a victim when they had a gap on 1up? Were r13 Wolfpack not victims when they had a gap on EXilition?
I don't think Omen are necessarily in a bad place, but I don't think we should encourage setting up the #1 alliance as some sort of 'uberalliance' that is always in a superior position (and thus 'evil').
I've thrown around ideas to more accurately reflect the strength of current alliances, and Rob has suggested that a prediction market would more accurately reflect strength. For example, in r11 1up probably would've been priced as much more likely to win than LCH, despite often times being ranked below them.

Wolfpack just weren't as good as Exilition. LCH were better roiders, but ultimately lacked the fighting punch that the experienced 1up players had. An alliance like ND has proved to be outstanding roiders unchecked, only to see 1up/Exilition rip through them. So far as we know the 1up thing is 'rumour' and could easily be a ploy to draw fire away from Omen - no one knows 'for sure'.
I didn't say Omen were 'evil', I just said they were painting themselves out as victims when it's unwarranted as they currently have:
- an ND that seem to get a rather large amount of incoming and regularly lose roids;
- an Insomnia who I don't really fancy;
- Angels, who aren't good enough and would probably rather see hell freeze over than help some people out and that's their decision, i'm not going to challenge that.
In reality for the time being with alliances peforming as they are, what we're left with what is pretty much stagnation, with Omen holding a roid lead when roids start to really pay off. Does that look like victim to you? As it stands, Omen are sitting fairly pretty unless 1up have done an Ascendancy, in which case, they've probably lost already as 1up could hurt them very badly. I'm not feeling particularly sorry for them. That doesn't mean I think they're evil. Nor do I think they're pretty special either.
Round 11 was a round based on an utter fallacy that solo playing would provide entertainment, when actually all it did was help 1up because they were the best qualified to play in that atmosphere. LCH were no victim; it was their own fault along with the rest of the universe and not just smashing 1up for trying to pull a fast one (as people would have done with ascendancy if they could). This is a round with blocks and thus entirely different.
This game is interesting to play in terms of stats, but politically it feels like a big fat potato.

It's not a big secret 1up has several high ranking players untagged. The image you see is a very simplified view, and really, it gets a bit more complicated when you have a peek what's been happening behind the curtains. It'll be interesting to see where everyone stands when tagging up finally happens.

Re: are 1 up playing this rd
In what way will it be interesting? As has been said, Angels, Omen, NewDawn, Insomnia all have a pretty good --> excellent idea about how big the value gap is. Tagging up won't mean anything.
