Never tried doing one of these, but believe i have a decent idea on what's going on.
Also too little discussion going on, hopefully may intrigue someone to post.
To begin with, Competing alliances (in no particular order):
VICIOUS + Titans(presuming they are still allied, which is likely)
TIN* + TIN**
EFN + JFF + EXILE
Artefacts held/Artefacts soon to be held:
VICIOUS:
The Architects' Master Secret (100 VP)
The Great Diet I (60 VP)
Small Academic Advancement III, Small Military Haste IV, Small Storage Masterplan IV, small Military Haste II , Small Artefact of the Fool, The Small Diet V
Soon to own:
The Hawk's Small Eyesight II
TiTans:
Soon to own:
Small Diet VI
TIN*:
Great Storage Masterplan II (60 VP),
Small Artefact of the Fool, Rival's Slight Confusion III
Soon to own:
The Small Diet III :
TIN**:
The Hawk's Small Eyesight VI
Soon to own:
Rival's Great Confusion II (60 VP)
EFN:
Large Military Haste I (60VP)
Small Artefact of the Fool
Soon to hold? Questionable.
The Hawk's Unique Eyesight (100 VP)
JFF:
Small Storage Masterplan II
soon to own:
N/A
EXILE:
Large Academic Advancement III (60 VP)
Small Storage Masterplan III
soon to own:
N/A
This clearly shows a huge dominance by VICIOUS, owning the great diet as well as military hastes, storage and academic advancement. All of which are crucial.
Not only this, but they are also gaining a massive amount of VP thanks to arhitects master secret (also certainly helpful)
In terms of "top 10" stats:
VICIOUS have been a massive clear leader in raiding for the entire server.
Also in general, their defense stats usually equals the highest offense stat of EFN, which suggests excellent defending.
Add into this that they are highest in attack also, suggests it will be very difficult to face.
Titans have in general done well in raiding, have received little defense (suggests they are rarely attacked) and fairly average in offense.
EFN have been doing okay in terms of Raiding, Attacking and Defending. Their stats suggest that in most cases their attacks on VICIOUS members have been well defended.
Their defense has been unable to match the attack of VICIOUS.
JFF/EXILE are in general bottom of the list of the 7 mentioned alliances for TOP10 stats.
TIN* Have been a clear third so far this server in terms of TOP10 stats, doing reasonably well in all.
TIN** have yet to really show themselves, presumably simming for later battles.
TOP 40 Players (population):
I realise that population certainly isn't everything, but in general those in the top 40 pop are there through raiding/offense.
Also in general, these players are more likely to have much larger hammers/anvils.
I could have gone top 60/80 etc, but in general top 40 shows where most of the powerhouses lie.
VICIOUS:
13/20 in top 20
8/20 in top 21-40
Literally half of the TOP 40 taken by them, including the vast majority of the top places.
Titans:
2/20 in top 21-40
23/40 in total.
EFN:
3/20 in top 20
1/20 in top 21-40
JFF
1/20 in top 20
EXILE
1/20 in top 21-40
A reasonable amount in top 20, considering the vast majority is in VICIOUS, but little more.
6/40 in total.
TIN*:
2/20 in top 20
5/20 in top 21-40
TIN**
3/20 in top 21-40
10/40 in total.
In general in the past week:
EFN have been on a significant decline in terms of numbers of players and have lost possession of the unique artifact they once held. Whilst plausable they could regain hold of it, this will take a great deal of doing.
VICIOUS have claimed a unique artifact which has significantly boosted their VP/day.
TIN*/TIN** have yet to make a serious move in regards to VP, which currently counts them out of the race and requires a huge undertaking to get anywhere near the VP required to take the server.
Based on this, It's hard to deny VICIOUS's chances of winning.
Hoping to see some competition, but may already be a bit late.
Thoughts?
