The Amazing Sanction Race

[Ninja Colt]

Unfortunately our recent growth has receded today, thanks to a couple members.

[Aeternos Astramora]

NO THEY ARE NOT! They are hanging on FIGURATIVELY by a thread.

I lol'd. One of my pet peeves too.

Oh, woah, that is weird.

I knew something looked odd about that. I want IRON resanctioned just to get that fixed.

Passes

Commentary

Big, historic day today. Not only did Independent Republic of Orange Nations lose sanction (The Order of Light gaining it), but the Viridian Entente also passed them, making them only the fourteenth largest alliance by score. I don't know about you, but ever since I have been here, IRON was ranked second. New Pacific Order was awarded biggest loser with a 0.57 point loss.

On the other hand, when The Grämlins gains members, they gain score, to the extreme. This is just what they did today, times three. The Grämlins gained three members and 0.58 points, making me believe their days behind IRON are numbered.

Also, we have Invicta pass Random Insanity Alliance. Nothing too noteworthy here, but I did comment on the other passes, so..... No, Green Protection Agency has not submitted a flag. No, The Order of Light does not get their flag yet, either. No, STA did not pass the add line. Anyway, this didn't take me nearly as long as I had estimated.

In other news, Global Radiation Level began its descent into oblivion today. Looks like their reign over the Cyberverse may be relatively short lived. Quick shoutout to The Legion. I see a sanction in your future.

i believe there is something wrong with NPO's loss. . .

[Heracles the Great]

New Pacific Order : 36.34 --> 35.77 (-0.34)

-0.34 = -0.57?

[Sylar]

we seem to be 2nd everyday for gain

but were coming for you WTF

[kch674]

Fixed NPO loss, now biggest loser. BTW, I think that both WTF and the Legion will be sanctioned in a few months.

[maicke]

stupid MCXA, one of the members you lost was my trade partner

[dragonknight1000]

Not only did Independent Republic of Orange Nations lose sanction (The Order of Light gaining it)

would be more fair to say that TOOL gaining it back (it's sad we took it from IRON's loss but I'm sure they'll gain it back rather quickly)

good update

Gramlins picked up three HUGE nations on Monday.

WTF lacks the members.

[Ceremony]

Quickly, add a glowing green filter to the Sanction Race image before GRL loses its top spot.

[omfghi2u2]

That was very uncalled for and I'd expect far better from you, omfg.

Fact is, there is no "hate spewing" towards Polaris on the boards as we have bigger matters to attend to. (the war)

Congratulations none the less to you guys passing us.

I say that because I do recall and have actually quotes from Pacifican members saying they would defend us before the OoO was cancelled. I also do recall how you guys declared an offensive war yet our treaty states that its non-chaining and you guys still act as if we had "betrayed" you.

Nothing personal or anything, but the Pacifican BR is a bit mislead at times.

[Martijn]

I don't know about you, but ever since I have been here, IRON was ranked second.

They weren't always #2 (of course). GPA and GOONS used to be in front of them, at least back in june 2007 when I joined the game. GOONS got knocked down during the Unjust War, GPA lost it's spot during the Woodstock Massacre and I guess IRON was second in command ever since. Until now of course.

I'm gonna assume you missed this post:

no politics plz

If you did, then great, read it now. If you didn't and just willfully ignored its advice, stop it. Politics doesn't belong here and can get this thread locked. Take it elsewhere.

[R3nowned]

No, The Order of Light does not get their flag yet, either.

TOOL's flag is custom 55

[Shan Revan]

Indeed, it finally happened, not unexpected but sad none the less. We have been sanctioned since before GWI I believe. A long, long time and slowly worked our ranks up, overtaking some through growth, and others through war.

I do expect we shall regain sanction, probably even shoot up a fair few ranks, probably not back to where we were, for some time at least though. Reps will probably keep us out of it for a little while though.

Eitherway, congratulations TOOL our slot is in good hands whilst we're gone.

[bzelger]

No, STA did not pass the add line.

I had no idea we were even in the ballpark.

I've never been in an alliance that was in the sanction race before. I dunno about this.

Yeah, but it's not linked to the TOOL stats page yet. I think that's when it's official, after 10 days.

Just sayin' classy post Shan.

[cookavich]

So, with TOOL sanctioned we now have 5 sanctioned "orders"?

Polaris is the one true Order

[Raider]

Polaris is the one true Order

This will be most displeasing news to the Sith.

[All Your Base]

Massive loss coming for NV. Could be biggest loser today.

I expect IRON to rebound quickly. The sheer amount of members alone means even small growth per member a day is still quite a lot, and I'm expecting a lot of aid to go around. I look forward to see IRON's named bolded again

[kch674]

WTF lacks the members.

I see that and I believe at some point in this thread they stated a sanction isn't one of their goals. Of course, things can change, and they are only fifty or so members off, and they could gain that many in a few months. Which is why I predicted them getting a sanction in a few months.
