I forgot, but I can still get them out before earth awards. I'll make em brief.

1. SOF- enough said.

2- SOL- enough said.

3. Evolution- giving them the edge over a slightly,bigger LCN right now. Though a lot of this is vets coming back, a temporary bump...

4. LCN- Good numbers, but terrible restart rate when SOL came in. Great FS, but wilted under SOL's pressure, kinda disappointing. LCN should be better than that.

5. Omega- 5 more members and I rank you above LCN, in fact I probably should.

6. Collab- Best of the rest.

7. LAF- recovering from a tough few reset, joined 100M ave net club last reset...ways to go to show top 3 form again.

8. Imag- Lack of netting skills, so they cover it up with early wars that they intiate. Though, they'd most likely lose in this case to anyone above them even with a FS.

9. Monsters- Lack of warring skills, though historically toght figthers. Has the chance to benefit the most this reset of any alliance due to joint war with SOF, continue slow steady grwoth, top netting, prove you can fight, and you are moving up a few ranks.

10. ICN- Solid fighters/numbers/netting, nothing specatular.

11. RD- Up in numbers, no idea what they'd do in a fight. PS ranking RD in LCN's spot is kinda ironic:)

12. Netters Anonymous, I really think they are better than this, but I didn't really know where to puit them, They are down compared to recent times though. This reflects that.

13. PDM- I LOVE Detmer, great friend, and I hate ranking PDM here, but it is what it is.

unranked Wings

I hope everyone works with Wings, give them chances to develop, etc. We need to get back to 20 alliances. that's 13 total.
7 more to go!

It would be nice to see a netting ranking, a warring ranking, and then a combined ranking..

For instance. I'd say we're 3rd in terms of warring, but 5th/6th in terms of netting. Combine that together/ divide by 2, bam.

It's kind of humorous seeing how formulaic these alliance rankings are.

Everyone always puts SoF and SOL at the top -- why? They are good at warring, but despite what they claim, they aren't all that at netting.

Why is Omega so high? I love Omega, but even being the neutral alliance that they are, they don't got much to show of it. Considering they never war, their netting should be a lot better than it is and we have yet to see any sort of solid war performance from the past couple of years.

LCN gets ranked so high because of numbers, then you go on to criticize them? So why are they up so high? Any particular reason?

I'm not saying Paradigm is anything special -- we don't play to win wars or netting competitions, so us being on anyone's list is meaningless to us.

But ffs, take some time to THINK before you keep making these formulaic alliance lists.

Omega's last war performance was quite good. They have put up plenty of great netting performances on less land then their competitors very often so whats bad about them?

LCN had the best pound for pound FS I have seen in EE before sol jumped in and they are better then PDM and co. at netting.

I wont comment on PDM since you didnt but it seems obvious the people doing these lists consider power to be the key. Power would be a combo of the 2 practices(Net and war) but would obviously be biased to numbers/war abilities. And thus the two alliances who war and have numbers are on top followed by a netting clan. Seems fine enough for what he was doing.

I very nearly said Afghanistan... I feel that Afghanistan is more terroristic than we are... but with the human-lobster aspect it might fit... I feel our server politics are more in line with Iran.... maybe we are Iran...

Wow, look at my list... I copy, pasted the alliances sorted by number of members and it's quite similar to your list.

I realize that higher member alliances carry much more political influence in this game, but I like to think there is more to it than your list implies.

Ehh, who am I kidding pretending like I log onto AT expecting more...

We are aiming to be number one warring alliance, we have always proclaimed netting clans to be better at us at netting. Solers merely say that we can netgain, not that we are anywhere near best. Our morals prevent that or at least in the past they did. That becomes culture and values.

I agree a netting ranking, warring ranking and a combined ranking would be better.
Not posting on AT as much because Maki/Steeps gave back some of my forums on GHQ. RIP my decade long blog, my blog even had replies from people who are no longer with us :(.

If i counted right our top 30 had an avg of 112m net, I dont see how that doesnt compare to the other 30 member tags around here

(feel free to count it, i might have counted wrong)

Well, Ivan the netting environment for your top 30 players is a lot easier than the netting environment for the 30 players of Omega, Evo or even LaF, simply because of your overall size.

It's harder to maintain tag protection/enforce your policies when you're a smaller alliance.

To adequately compare, you'd have to use percentages. Top 30%.

Careful guys,
the last thing you want to do is Goad SOF into proving it can hit 100M ave net with 100 members. ANd they'd do it just b/c you'd say they couldn't.

the additional strength they'd pick up, the addition skills their bottom 1/3 would pick up would prove to be devestating.

Seomtimes its just best to let the tiger sleep:)

PDM are definitely Uzbeki.

Monsters are South Korea because they are always close to being FSed by iMag and are supported by Collab (USA).

ICN are the true Swiss. They sit at home counting their dosh and are willing to keep dirty money in their banks (iMag/North Korea's blood money).
