The way it stands:
---------------------------------------------------------
Main players in the current war:
Fury/FAnG/ToT & ex-Adelante vs Titans/LDK
3 established alliances (including the most successful in PA history) vs 1 alliance and a former (admittedly exceptional) attack group - Hardly the stuff of powerblocks?
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
Alliances with a leaning to either side but not officially connected:
Virus - anti Fury (but not particularly pro Titans/LDK either - main motivation is prolly revenge for Fury betrayal last round)
WP/ELy - anti-Fury (but not particularly pro Titans/LDK either)
These alliances may be hitting Fury/FAnG/ToT targets atm and in doing so help the Titans/LDK cause but this could easily change if Fury were seen as finished and there own self interest comes to the fore.
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
Other significant alliances with no discernible leanings (atm):
NoS - wud prolly be more prone to be anti Fury for historical reasons and because many Xanadu members are now in Fury and they never liked Xan
RaH - prolly be pro-Fury for historic reasons
hirr - God knows? As long as Fury/Fang/Tot or Titans/LDK dont hit their HC planets they prolly wont intervene directly
The direct intervention of these alliances (may) cause a balance of power shift but they seem to be staying out of it atm and doing what's best for their own members.
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
Other significant players - attackgroups:
OuZo/Critters - like all attack groups out for themselves and roids which is kewl - but prolly more like to pick Titans/LDK targets because of make up of membership.
Madcows - as above - biasied towards Fury/FAnG/ToT
Plush - prolly the most Titans/LDK friendly of these groups
These attack groups wield significant firepower but probably don't play a direct part in the war themselves as there members want roids from whatever source
---------------------------------------------------------
Looking at all this I hardly see a powerblock scenario...but then again I am just a pe0n so could be wrong.
Whatever happens the situation is not like R7 where all of the above were interconnected in some way. The whole situation is much more balanced and could hardly be called boring.
With all the non-aligned allies out there I can see the Balance of Power changing hands many times b4 the end of the round and definitely not the stagnation that happened when FFLVT got the upper hand over NEWX relatively quickly.
I am sure I have made loadsa mistake in there so feel free to correct it....(also I apologise if I missed out any alliances who think they are 'significant' players)
This round is not over by a long way - and anyone who thinks Fury/FAnG/ToT are going to give up after a few significant setbacks needs there head examined...
