So, I did this for about 3 months around the time of the UJW. I figured I should do it again. I'll edit this to look nicer later. Will update every other day or so if not everyday. I might look into adding things like WRCs, MPs, HNMSs and things like that, I just need to figure out a good way to do it while still having this be simple and clear.

Comments: Stagnation is the name of the game I guess. Very few surprises. Most alliances hardly moved at all. Also more -'s than I've ever seen.

Nukes per Member - 28/02/09

Changes this week:
- Qualification for table A now includes both top 50 by score and top 50 by nuke count.

General Comments and Weekly Progress

- Great work by Mushroom Kingdom, who posted the largest gain by a long way as expected - more than doubling their nukes/member with an increase of +1.89 to a current value of 3.7. NpO are gradually tapering off but continue to increase steadily with a gain of 0.38 to place them above 4 nukes/member, putting them in third place among the sanctioned alliances behind Fark and TPF. Strong gains also this week by three medium/small alliances: Aircastle (+0.64), Poison Clan (+0.54), Vanguard (+0.43).

- The only alliance to drop significantly was MCXA, with a loss of -0.68 taking them down to 1.8. This will not come as a surprise since they lost a larger proportion of high level than low level members.

- The group of alliances with >10 nukes/member has increased significantly to fifteen (See table B ). Congratulations to Boards Alliance Of Protectorate States and Nemesis who have both qualified for the first time. In addition, Vanguard have pulled themselves back above the line while Order of the Black Rose have requalified by default by passing 20 members. Finally the newly formed Sweet Oblivion qualify comfortably.

- The Grämlins maintain their lead, slowly but surely closing in on the magic 20 nukes/member.

- Nice going also by Aircastle who not only have far more nukes than would be expected from their average NS, but are also now in the top 50 by nuke count despite being 123rd in score.

- Mean nukes/member of pool considered: 3.52
- Sanctioned alliances with above average* nukes/member: TPF, Fark, IRON, NpO
- Sanctioned alliances with below average* nukes/member: New Pacific Order, Sparta, Ragnarok, MCXA, TOOL, ODN, MHA, VE

- Global average nukes/player increased again this week by +0.16 to 2.23.
- The 83 alliances considered in the main list together comprise 55% of the global membership, and hold 87% of the global nukes.
- The fifteen alliances to have >10 nukes/member together comprise 3.3% of the global membership, and hold 21.4% of the global nukes.

A final note: The global average nukes/member has been increasing steadily week on week. This means that any alliance consistently sitting still is effectively getting weaker. Fluctuations will occur especially in small alliances, but there is no good reason for an organized alliance to consistently stay still unless they're taking on lots of low level members which is indicative in itself.


* Mean of total member pool considered; not global mean which would be misleadingly low due to the many extremely new and unaligned players; nor mean of individual alliance averages which would be misleadingly high due to the many small but high-end alliances.

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to keep a record of this day.

Awesome, now I have a question...do secret silo nukes show up? Because I have a certain discrepancy in my alliance from the manual count and the actual posted.

[Kroknia]

I am a few hours behind on this. For the first time I just put the 5am stats from the CN list because it is much faster before all the alliance names are written down...

Upon further inspection, It just doesn't update constantly like NS does.

Oh, you have it right, but the ingame stats have it off by double digits from a manual count.

[lebubu]

I remember when MK was in threads like this.

[Kroknia]

I do too

[Delta1212]

I remember when RIA wasn't on these things.

Also, we wouldn't have qualified a month ago, lol.

[D34th]

Omg I haven't noticed that IRON have more nukes than NPO

Seems inevitable that many of the sanctioned alliances are finally going to start catching up with Umbrella... Only so much we can do with 82 nations.

I don't know, you could squeeze another 600 or so in there.

[Bob Janova]

Recruit more nations

With tons of HNMS, which are a low priority when it comes to military wonders.

We'll be here soon.

They do look pretty, though. I should probably get one now that I have basically all the other useful military Wonders.

yes they do. you'll see those nations with 25 nuclear weapons, however 5 of them cannot be destroyed by spies. they are still visible, its a bit of a misnomer when you think about it.


also, we really have 849? man we've gone crazy with those.
