Introduction
Thank you for so patiently waiting for this weeks update! I was on my honeymoon all last week, so I'm still playing catch-up on what has happened since I was gone. No interviews this week, but there will be more in future updates!
TOP 10 TRIBES!
1) Livid Quakers:
Since my last update, LQ has quadrupled their OBP, from 1mil --> 3.8 mil OBP. Thats a lot of bodies. But not only are they kicking ass and taking villas, they are proving they know how to take a beating. Their DBP has gone from 390,000 --> 2,180,000 DBP. Despite the pounding they're taking, they have gained over 150 villas in the past 8-9 days. Strong hold on the north eastern part of the core, with small pockets on the northwest and southern sides of the world. So far, these guys don't have much to worry about.
Top 50: 11 Members (down from 16)
2) The Kill Order:
TKO has snatched 2nd place from S&M. They've tripled OBP from 820,000 --> 2,914,000. Insanely tight grouping on the southeastern part of the core, with small islands on the west/north. Having locked down their region, it will be interesting to see which direction they decide to expand in next. Will they wage war against LQ or the elite WAR squad? Only time will tell.
Top 50: 15 Members (up from 11)
3) Shadow Syndicate:
I was slightly surprised to see them in 3rd place. Definitely the MRT of the week with 135 members (up from 116 last week). They have seen growth in all areas, tripling their OBP 599,000 --> 1,810,000 and quadrupling their DBP 363,000 --> 1,255,000. Unsurprisingly, they've also gained 100+ villages (probably mostly due to new recruits). Decent grouping on Western side of the core, with interesting spread backwards to the rim. We'll have to see if they can close the gaps and maintain their position.
Top 50: 4 Members (up from 3)
4) We Always Rule:
With only 20 members, they are only a couple thousand points to claiming 3rd place. They quadrupled their OBP 630,000 --> 2,414,000 and DBP from 142,000 --> 524,000, and an insane 34,000 points per member (dayum). A nice comfortable grouping at the core, with a couple players secluded/surrounded by TKO and S.S. It should be interesting to see if they can manage to keep all their members alive against an all-out attack. So far, so good. If they keep all surrounding tribes/players living in fear, they don't have much to worry about.
Top 50: 15 Members (up from 14) with 8 in Top 10
5) Sarcasm & Malice:
Something happened to S&M this week. They went from 162 members and drastically dropped down to 113 members. Maybe they cut out some of the dead weight? Or more likely, drama. We shall see. They still managed to almost double their OBP 616,000 --> 1,074,000. It looks like they have been designated to the rim at this point. Hopefully they will be able to bounce back.
Top 50: 2 members (no change)
6) REW:
REW has done some recREWting recently. Up from 66 members to 96 members, they've done some good work getting more people into their tribe. Tripled their DBP 214,000 --> 682,000 and doubled in OBP 170,000 --> 425,000 (honestly hardly worth mentioning). It looks like they have a couple active members now? Only problem though, is that they are insanely spread out on southern rim... I think a merge with DIE might be the best choice for them.
Top 50: 0 Members (no change)
7) The Collective:
A phoenix has been reborn. They were around in the early game, but later had merged into S&M. I guess this is where 40+ of the S&M members went! They have a decent DBP/OBP for being semi-new... 288,000/486,000. They are pretty split up around ATG, so it will be interesting if they can group up or fill in the gaps.
Top 50: 1 Member
8) Destined Imperial Empire:
DIE looks like they have migrated to the southern end of the rim (previously located slightly western). They've gained 20 new members, and 60 more villages. Their DBP has quadrupled from 111,000 --> 450,000. OBP has tripled, but it's honestly not even worth me typing out. While they've made improvements in their recruiting process, they are in desperate need of consolidating their members and probably finding people whom are closer together.
Top 50: 0 Members
9) Southern Comfort:
They're back with 7 new members and 40 new villages! However, if you look on the map, you won't be able to find any kind of grouping what-so-ever. Decent players, they've... octupled? is that a word? their DBP 36,800 --> 256,000 and quintupled their OBP from 131,000 --> 632,000. Thats much better than half of the tribes in the top 10.
Top 50: 0 Members
10) Atlantis The Great:
No change in members, they've gained 50 villages this week. Looking at their nice little clump on the eastern side of the core, it reminds me of a spartan wall. It looks like they're surviving the onslaught from their neighbors, going from 80,000 --> 450,000 DBP, while still managing to take villages. Pretty impressive. They will need to make some alliances (if they haven't already) and probably work with TKO and possibly TCL to fight back against the Quaker Hoardes.
