We should put up a merger application on our forums. Even if we eat only one alliance a day (presumably around breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day) we should be in the sanction race in no time at all.

That's hilarious. You rock Fyfe. :awesome:

I did a little statistical analysis today, and Athens actually has the 11th highest average growth rate (for the line of best fit) over the past 30 days, at an average of +13,000 NS per day. If current growth trends (of the past month) continue we will return to our former place of 19-20th in the sanction race sometime between 5 and 6 months from now. We won't make sanction though unless we get a solid, working recruitment program in place, or eat some other alliance.

You did that by using the NS from the alliance chart, right?
I did the same thing for NoR now and we're at +20.609 per day. Although, i'm pretty sure there are alliances higher than that (like TOP and MK).
Also.. UPN, stop gaining so we can pass that Tier Barrier already.. :mad:

I've tried doing the same thing in the past, and I've found that most alliances don't generally follow the same growth pattern from one month to the next. People go inactive, banking programs stop, a giant nation gets deleted, mergers, splinters, giant wars, etc.

Post-war growth rates the last 2 months are probably not indicative of long term rates for the next say 10 months either.

My figure for NoR wasn't quite that high, as a lot of your gain was at the end of the month from a few high NS nations joining, and not from nation growth. But NoR is certainly doing well, and will pass Athens if our growth rates remain the same. :v That, however, remains to be seen.

Single huge nations joining/leaving/getting deleted, and giant spikes from mergers, and that kind of thing, are things that got ignored in my calculation. I was looking at the line of best fit, the average slope of growth over the past month. However, in some cases, an alliance's chart was just jagged across the screen because the alliance was losing a nation every few days regularly, and then regrowing a bit In those cases, I included those drops in the slope, assuming that this sort of decline is probably going to continue indefinitely.

Probably not for everyone. But for us, it will because of 2 reasons. A) how hard we got hammered beating TOP (we have a lottt of regrowing to do still) and B) the large amount of tech reps we're getting from TOP over the next several months. We've also had the good fortune to have an aid slot efficiency of, at my last count, 58% of alliance aid slots in use (would have been 48% if all the slots containing reps were empty instead). Assuming that this level is roughly maintained, we should definitely enjoy a superior growth rate to most other alliances. If only we actually had someone who knew how to recruit, lol.

Well, he hope to pass the Tier Barrier first.
And until all those large nations came(and the big spike in NS), we've had and average of 12875 NS/day. It's still pretty good. Perhaps you could post those stats in a new thread, if you still have them, cause they would be interesting to look at. Also, i'm currently calculating the slot usage for NoR too.
LE: just finished it and we have 49.2%. It was a bit higher until i remembered to include Disaster Relief Agencies, after that it was a bit lower because i forgot to remove the missing Foreign Ministries.

Please welcome the [color="#48D1CC"][i]Guru Order[/i][/color] to the Sanction Race. Nice gain from [color="#48D1CC"][i]Athens[/i][/color] today and a loss of a quarter of a point from the [color="black"][i]Poison Clan[/i][/color]. If someone from the [color="#48D1CC"][i]Guru Order[/i][/color] wishes to do some more commentary on their first official day in the Sanction Race, feel free to do so.[/quote]
I'm not in GO but let me say that this had to happen sooner or later. I wouldn't be surprised at all if GO climbed up to great heights in the next months (barring some unexpected incident, of course).

GO!

oh.. it feels a bit lonely in the tier.. only us and TFD. Also, stop gaining UPN.. we want to pass that barrier. <_<
[/quote]
Don't you feel special? It's like your own private area. You and TFD should become super allies from this. ;)

And why don't you gain twice as much as us? It means we can continue to grow and you guys shoot up in strength! Win win!
