The Amazing Sanction Race

Admin has said in the holy scriptures that nations on "No Team" shall be displayed as gray. So it was written, so it shall be done.

Or just put "World Task Forc " and say the E is None. :P

Silence: http://www.cybernations.net/stats_alliance...lliance=Silence

Really quickly-growing brown team alliance. Currently owning everyone else in terms of growth.

Did help that Silence is a merger between 2 mid size Brown Alliances that was going through just as this kicked off

Hence the big apparent gains as this was starting that have slowed now that most of them have switched AA

How is Brown gaining so much? Unless I'm mistaken, before the merge the top 5 Brown alliances were GATO, NSO, OTF, LEN and CD. How does OTF and LEN merging give them a gain, since they're really just being transferred from one alliance to another?

I'd assume because there is a new 5th place brown alliance adding it's score into the race.

White is all colors put together. So that's what WTF should be?
I do believe you have all gotten it backwards. White is no color, and black is all colors put together. But then again, black is lack of light, and white is pure light.... :huh:

Actually white is an equal amount of all the base colors and black is the total absence of color.

that would only work if the new 5th place alliance was growing. its based on how much the alliances change, not how big they are. i dare say we may have to DQ all of Silents gains up to now, or even longer as there gains are not the same as anyone else in the race.

Actually pure light would be something like a laser where you get only one wavelength, or pure white is a continuous flat frequency spectrum across the visible zone (the zone is important, a true pure white frequency spectrum would have infinite energy)

The only scenario where black is all colors and white is no colors is when you're using paint on a white background. And then your "black" will be an ugly brown. And the whole red+blue+green=white thing is an artifact of the human eye's color perception which has three types of cone cells with one having peak sensitivity at each of those colors.

Seeing as CN is a digital world it would make sense to go with multicolored being somewhere positive along the 0,0,0 to 255,255,255 line, and since both ends are taken you can just go with 127,127,127 i.e. gray.

Nonsense! Believe me, I am trying right now with some water colors. I have like 2 bagillion colors here, and adding them doesn't make it white!

Lasers are red, silly!

And I want you to know, DrunkWino, I sacrificed my favorite shirt for the sake of science and the betterment of man-kind! Water colors doesn't come out of white shirts very easily. I'd better get some prize for this...

My prize to you is a computer painting program. Combine RGB at the max levels and see what color you get. ;)

YOU WIN!

Anyway, can't believe we're debating the colour of the lack of light... it's black. No light = black. Proof? Cover your eyes with your hands.

I guess I'll take update again...fix this problem...

Nah nah nah, we said the lack of COLOR, not light. *shakes head

Also, thanks for that DrunkWino. I apprecify that!

Commentary

Have limited time today, so I'll just summarise the big happenings in point form:

- Sparta regains its number 1 spot after passing The Order of the Paradox. The gap between them is only 0.03, so keep a lookout on this section of the race, the saga is not over - we may see a few more passes yet.

- The Templar Knights takes advantage of a huge loss from FOK to enter the race at a starting point of 12.37, 0.14 above the Add Line.

- Orange Defense Network takes the number 5 spot after taking advantage of a fall from The Democratic Order. The gap here is only 0.08, so also watch out here - there may be a few switches in positions here as well.

- After "tiers" were in somewhat demand, I've made tiers - somewhat. First 12 (Sanctioned), Next 10 (First Tier), Next 10 After That (Second Tier), The Rest (Third Tier). Nice and neat, the format is 12, 10, 10, rest. Comment on its prettyness :P

- Mushroom Kingdom takes out biggest gainer ahead of other contenders including Athens (0.21), New Polar Order (0.20), Independent Republic of Orange Nations and Viridian Entente (both 0.17), Sparta (0.15), The Order of the Paradox (0.11) and Siberian Tiger Alliance (0.10).

- FOK gets Biggest Loser, pushing both the Add and Drop Lines down a huge amount (0.15 each). Other alliances who lost big include The Democratic Order (-0.21), The Order of Light (-0.16), Mostly Harmless Alliance (-0.14), Invicta (-0.11) and Random Insanity Alliance (-0.10).

- Special mention to the Add and Drop Lines who both fell 0.15.

- World Task Force will be blue due to 99 of its 178 nations or 55.6% of its population being on that colour. Problem solved!

- Today's shoutout goes to Tigerdonia Redux for correctly guessing the significance of the number 2525! :awesome:

And colour, light - same thing :P

I'm happy with ODN's score based on the number of nations. That shows our commitment to quality over quantity [while retaining a respectable number ;)] is paying off.

Also, congrats to Sparta and to TOP. It will be fun watching the tango for the top spot!
