I added the GPA-TPF pass, and changed the second umbrella pass to Valhalla, which is what it should have been. Or maybe I was just so impressed by CSN. I didn't freeze add/drop lines because no one got that low. I suggest updater freezes 'em tonight.

I apologize for my sluggish pace. Update is not fun. It took me an hour and twenty-four minutes to complete.

The war rages on, and nearly every alliance in the Sanction Race takes on huge damage. Especially visible are the gains of the significant unknowns and neutrals. The Democratic Order gains an impressive third of a point, and is passed in the wrong direction by warring alliances, The Grämlins and The Order of Light. They are looking at a fast sanction as non-combatants. The losses of the Independent Republic of Orange Nations tower over those of the New Pacific Order tonight, resulting in what looks to be a secure first place for the New Pacific Order, at least until they approach Sparta. The two big losses among the sanctioned aside, several alliances post near and over a whole point of damage, including the Multicolored Cross-X Alliance, Fark, Ragnarok, The Order of Light, The Phoenix Federation, The Grämlins(with a massive 3 point loss; over 10% of their entire strength!), the Global Democratic Alliance, the Grand Global Alliance, and Valhalla. Also in the passing lane, the Global Democratic Alliance gets kicked down by three alliances, as does the Grand Global Alliance. Among the passers is Echelon and the Greenland Republic, who did not get passed by anyone in turn tonight. According to fellow updater, The Commonwealth Of Sovereign Nations passed Umbrella twice, and the North Atlantic Defense Coalition is back in the race as the Dreaded Add Line plummets predictably as a result of the war. Once again corresponding to The Order of Light, control of the lines has once again been transferred to FOK. Expect a lot of this happening over the course of the war. Finally, a look at the global radia--holy mother of GOD. @_@ Well, it's officially at an all-time record high. How many more of you insensitive, nuke-lobbing hooligans want to destroy our precious environment, huh?! >_> What's that? I'm one of those hooligans? Never mind that! Look at the GRL! It's approaching 20, and seeing as there are several tens of thousands of nukes left in Planet Bob's stockpiles, the radiation is looking to surpass even 100, nearly ten times the previous record high. Is this what the public service announcements meant by "This Earth Bob Day, go green!"? I guess only the future holds the answer. [/commentary] By the way, I think the Add/Drop Lines should remain unfrozen. They are dropping faster than the alliances near them. ---------- 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.

Alright. That's nice (and green and shiny). Now commencing update. *gulp*

How do you see grl? Once this question is answered, consider update commenced.

Just give me a few minutes and I'll start.

Anyone for update?

http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n454/kc...lag_small-1.png link to TOP flag. looks like:

Sigh, will update ever come

Your a brave man (or woman)... I was going to do it myself. Next time Adrian can't do update, I will. This time is yours, though.

Anyone for update?

Legion passed MK

That is some big gain by the NPO.

About a few weeks ago, I calculated that the Legion would pass GGA on May 5th. I bet it will be sooner, though.

I probably won't be around to do what I did last night. If someone else wants to pick it up, go ahead. My computer is probably broken and so I may not be able to continue for quite a while

Ya, I was going to include CSN, the International, etc.

How about this: we set up some kind of rules for being included in the race... such as being the alliance right below the add line or popular requests for certain alliances to be added? I personally would probably continue to look at the changing scores of the alliances I included in the first update anyway, so why not share my knowledge? I guess what I'm trying to say is this, does any one have suggestions for rules that would include alliances in this Race to the Sanction Race? I guess it could be based on a large growth within a period of time. Just let me know, and we'll decide on something.

In the spirit of my curiosity, I present to the CN community The Amazing Race to the Sanction Race. Now, this is not every alliance on Bob below the Add Line... It is several interesting alliances that have been under most everyone's radar. If you want, I can do a daily update for your alliance. Let's just try this out for a bit and see how it works. I know all of you probably are wondering if NSO, TSO and Nemesis are getting any closer to the add line. And now, presenting, The Amazing Race to the Sanction Race. {120}New Sith Order : 11.07 --> 11.60 (+0.53) {56}The Sweet Oblivion : 10.52 --> 10.53 (+0.01) {38}Nemesis : 5.73 --> 5.73 (+0.00) Biggest Gainer {120}New Sith Order : 11.07 --> 11.60 (+0.53) Smallest Gainer {38}Nemesis : 5.73 --> 5.73 (+0.00) Commentary Okay, so kind of a boring day. Please let me know if you think this is just outright dumb. Of course, I will add more alliances at request. I will be open to many suggestions. Just trying to satisfy that ever-present bit of thirst for knowledge in everyone's mind. What color is nemesis? Anyone?

This was the day that MHA passed MCXA. Today, we have this: 5 [560] (-1) Multicolored Cross-X Alliance : 42.90 --> 43.00 (+0.10) {193} (+0) The Order of the Paradox : 42.28 --> 42.34 (+0.06

No, no no. You've got it all wrong. A while ago, there were a few points between them and now that gap is closing. It just so happens that I picked a bad day to point it out. EDIT: good grammar is a positive thing

And TOP edges ever closer to MCXA.

Good luck with that. Fark, don't be mean to the updater.

First, holy crap fark. I know that these comments are probably getting annoying, but I don't really care. If you think it's annoying, don't read it. And about NATO... (no smugness intended).... Who called it? Is this the grämlins now?

That explains a lot.

It appears NATO may pass the add line at today's update. We'll see.
