If someone doesn't kick us out of the sanction spot AFTER we gain the flag.. I'll have to do some drastic measures myself. But I'd like that flag. So plax be nice? I'm very confused and slightly concerned as to why and how I was made third on that flag... I mean, Kristoff, PM, Max and quite a few others would be far better mentioned. =P

Asa is a spoilsport.Return us to the rainbow goodness! It reflects our hippy ways.

Meh. Pie is silly. But if it's true, bad form CSN.

That and I was too lazy to go find a miniature version of it.As for iamrecognized, got a list of which alliances are no longer at war below the drop line? I would agree with that idea, I just don't know which alliances are still at war... As the sanction race is the closest I come to getting involved with politics. =P

Haha, I meant to mention that... Seriously. Where's CCC? They should be all up in arms over all of these alliances turning satanic... =P

We're, what, 23 days into the war? I predict that the GRL will flatten out over the next few days and will start to drop after another week. To AE- I solve ties by member count. Though your way of doing it works as well. Your way of cutting people below the drop line sounds reasonable also. I find the previous manor of posting passes and such better looking though. =P

Seriously. Doing the update puts me to sleep. My mind shuts down after about the 8th alliance.Hopefully I fixed all the mistakes.

United Purple Nations flew up the list today, passing three alliances and one false alliance. Someone needs to strengthen the borders of the false alliance, Karma PoW, as it continues to lose members and strength. Clearly the shadow government is not doing well. Global Alliance And Treaty Organization continues to lose members and points, as it becomes passed by M*A*S*H. Will their return to the sanction list be short lived, or will there be an improvement in their situation? On the bottom of the news, Random Insanity Alliance would have made it over the drop line today, thanks to FOK losing more points, but failed to do so thanks to a few members ditching. Better luck tomorrow! In random news, one of my cats has a cold, continues to sneeze everywhere, and we think it's allergic to me, which makes me feel bad. Now if only we could get the other one to take its anti-worm pills, we can get on with the petting and cuddling part of the owner to cat relationship. ---------- Related Links: Stats By Unspeakable Evil Tournament Edition Sanction Race How To Update the Amazing Sanction Race Sanction Race Update Creator spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pFd...rmXWQ&hl=en End of line

Christ. I was all kinds of fail last night, wasn't I? Alright. Let's see if I can do better tonight. Starting update... Right after I microwave these pork chops.

Honestly, I completely missed and forgot when I was doing commentary. Otherwise I would have.

Second time updating and I think it went much faster this time. To those who've been waiting, tough. My stomach is still rumbling, so no complaining! As for our stats... The major news would be Multicolored Cross-X Alliance once again dropping like a lead brick, allowing Karma PoW, Monos Archein, and Commonwealth Of Sovereign Nations to pass. They manage to just stay above United Purple Nations by a .04 points difference, making it only a three alliance ranking fall instead of a shameful four. Aside from that, little occurred it seems. New Pacific Order in a shocking move kept the Biggest Loser category, closely followed up by friend Independent Republic of Orange Nations. Another sanction alliance, The Order of the Paradox, manages to score the Biggest Gainer today. Congrats to them. In random news, Mostly Harmless Alliance managed to regain the .01 point they lost yesterday putting them right back where they were. Good for them. Independent Republic of Orange Nations seems to also be turning satanic, with their membership count dropping down to the number of the beast. And in completely random, yet awesome, news, I adopted two cats, both of which are currently asleep beneath the desk. RnR was also removed from the list, as someone seems to have snuck them in. I have also added in the feared strike lines, as the last few alliances seem to be a long ways from regaining their former glory. If the updater tomorrow wishes to cancel the strike, feel free, otherwise do as you wish. ---------- Related Links: Stats By Unspeakable Evil Tournament Edition Sanction Race How To Update the Amazing Sanction Race Sanction Race Update Creator spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pFd...rmXWQ&hl=en End of line

Starting actual update. Might take me a bit, the stomach rumbles.

From what I know, an alliance that is able to get sanction and is in the top 12, gets bolded. An alliance that is unable to get sanction, but is in the top 12, is italicized. How an alliance is shown if it IS sanctioned, is by adding or removing the flag before it. I could be wrong, that's just my understanding of it. Thanks for the update Arrnea.

# The Top 12 Alliances meeting all sanction requirements are bolded # All alliances who have a flag displayed in their Detailed Alliance Statistics also have a 30-pixel wide flag preceeding their name So yeah. Bold GPA. =P I probably can't do it tonight, as I'm going to go see Star Trek, but for the next few nights I should be able to do update if no one else can.

You guys are talking about the red, green, and black color codes for the change in membership and the change in stats, correct? Because when I did the update, I just "quoted" the last persons update and everything was fine code wise. Though, if you're talking about bringing the info over from the spreadsheet, I still have no damn idea how to use it, so don't ask me. Who?

Aww. I was going to do a second attempt. Though, probably best you did do it. This way any mistakes I made would be fixed. =P Interesting to see Karma POW LOSE 2 members today..

Mistake with Umbrella updated. GATO added to the list. Not quite sure if I did it properly, but oh well, whomever updates tonight can deal with it. P.S.S. changed to P.P.S. I think whomever mentioned that is correct. Then again, I was tired last night while updating and I'm tired right now while updating the update. The girlfriends comment is left in there as accurate. Cause yeah. I'm just that damn awesome. =P

I give my respect to anyone else who has updated in the past. As for the actual race, either there's quite a bit of military decommissioning going on or the new rounds of war are kicking in. Numerous alliances showing increases yesterday have taken a loss today. Perhaps there's hope yet of the GRL reaching 50? Speaking of the GRL, is the slow growth due to the lack of war funds or just the over all lack of targets? Just how many more nations can Planet Bob expect to see nuked before there are no more nations available? We'll just have to wait and see. Starting off, Independent Republic of Orange Nations continued it's plummet today, dropping to 711 members. Both The Order of the Paradox and Mostly Harmless Alliance over took Independent Republic of Orange Nations today, bouncing them down to number 5. However, despite their heavy 1.72 loss in points, they did not regain the title of biggest loser from the New Pacific Order. Another major pass goes to Viridian Entente, making their way past FOK. Due to the pass, FOK has been punted to the back of line, getting ever closer to the final boot. Will they regain their position or forfeit to Green Protection Agency? Speaking of neutral's, what's up with The Democratic Order today? Taking in 13 members, but losing .12 points? Don't they know not to take in unlucky amount of members? Farther down the food chain, The Phoenix Federation managed to lose two places to United Purple Nations and Commonwealth Of Sovereign Nations. At this rate, they will quickly be joining the others below the dreaded drop line. And since my girlfriends threatening pain and disembowelment if I don't join her to sleep soon, that's all for tonight folks. Please let me know of any mistakes in which I've made. P.S. If anyone who actually understands the spreadsheet would care to inform me on how to use it, I would appreciate it. P.P.S. Forgot about GATO till just now, and thanks to the increased traffic on CN, I can't get the required info. I'll add you tomorrow if I remember. P.P.P.S. Please remember to keep all political discussion free from this topic unless it directly deals with the Sanction Race. Seriously. I doubt anyone who's put enough effort into this topic to update regularly wishes to see it locked. So, please, for their sake, be nice. ---------- Related Links: Stats By Unspeakable Evil Tournament Edition Sanction Race How To Update the Amazing Sanction Race Sanction Race Update Creator spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pFd...rmXWQ&hl=en End of line.

Starting update now. First time, so might take a little.

If no one else is willing to, I'll attempt to do it for my first time. Just don't complain too much when I screw up horribly. =P

If GRL makes it to #1, does the world end? Cause honestly, that'd be amusing in it's own way. =P But yeah, if the wars continue and pick back up a bit, I'd fully expect to see it pass Sparta and NPO.

Interesting, unoffensive politics, yes. Proclamations of future death and doom, no. Proclamations of how much your alliance roxorz over another alliance, no. Not unless done in an awesome, hilarious way.

I agree, return the add line. That way we can more easily tell which alliances should be getting the cut or not.

Thanks for updating, can't be easy right now. However, TPF wasn't updated properly. [230] (-4) The Phoenix Federation : 26.71 --> 26.71 (-1.19) Should be 25.52, which would result in a pass by GPA.

You didn't put WTF in as Switzerland... I can't believe you'd forget us! Bit long, bit lame in some parts, but over all I laughed. =P
