Re: Fill Me In!
Oh, btw, Round 10.5 so far to me:
FAnG/Phraktos/MISTU formed a block, to face off against the PaX EET block (Elysium/Eclipse/ToT). Eclipse and ToT broke up in PA, so Elysium joined with VisioN and LCH instead. Meanwhile, WolfPack were pretty much on FPM's side.
FPM(W) massively outnumbered ELV, and obliterated them quite easily. Ely were picked on by most from the beginning as revenge for last round, they went down quickly. Within a coupla weeks, FPM(W) was miles ahead, whilst LCH had merged with Howling Rain to form FYTFO. In my experiences, FYTFO and VsN were holding reasonably well, considering the circumstances - no chance in hell of winning though. At this stage, rankings were something like FAnG>Phraktos>Wolfpack>MISTU>FYTFO>VsN>Ely>ND....
ND, and many other alliances soon began targetting FPM, and for a few days ND were major FPM targets, taking a heavy beating, but overall, our net loss was 700 roids or so quite quickly, but soon we regained most of these. After a few days, the FPM attacks just became a trickle. Soon after, FPM hit WolfPack. WP stood no chance really, massively outnumbered in score and members, and any potential allies already under huge strain, they dropped out of the top 3, I think there were also some defections. However, like ND/VsN/FYTFO and unlike Ely, they weren't left completely smashed, but were decisively defeated and unable to do anything to halt FPM's onslaught. Rankings were something like FAnG>Phraktos>MISTU>WP>VsN>FYTFO>ND>etc. Ely were floating around 9/10th.
Then it was basically FPM roiding a mostly inactive universe, with huge numbers of quitters/idlers due to teh huge stagnation. Over the last day or 2, Phraktos declared war on FAnG/MISTU, apparently showing they had some balls. Unfortunately, most of their command structure quit and deleted at the first sign of incomings, leaving the members to be smashed (those few who had spine enough to stand and take a beating rather than crawl away on their knees). FM v. P was again very one sided, Phraktos fell apart at the first sign of a true challenge, and having lost over 30 members, and 81611 roids since I started recording (yesterday morning) they're pretty much broken. And that's where we are now, FAnG/MISTU sitting at the top, with many people in the following pack having given up and quit/idled.
I only wonder what would have happened had MISTU/FAnG been put under heavy pressure, Phraktos showed they sure as hell weren't ready for it AS AN ALLIANCE.
That's enough ranting from me, some of it may be biased/misinformed, but it's what has been seen through my eyes. Hope that helped... Oh, and there was the story of TouRiQueT, some guy who farmed his way to #1. Got fleetcaught, but managed to farm his way back to the top. And then when P declared war on FM he defected from FAnG to join P. In the 72 tick allianceless period, he got several waves of uncovered incs, was going to drop to about rank ~50, and so deleted himself :/
