The Amazing Sanction Race

[Burnsey]

Can someone please give me a quick run down of this new island and the wildcard thing?

Can someone please give me a quick run down of this new island and the wildcard thing?

Well comrade i said that and a few posts back a sexy beast said:

NOIR Civil War!!!!

@Hassman: The top 120(I think) alliances are eligible to make it on the island. There are a certain amount of slots on the island for each team based on how many alliances they have in the top 120. For the next week, alliances on the same team color are competing to get on the island. After that, a new survivor round will begin with those alliances that got their team color's slots. That's my understanding at least. Gopher is the expert though.

Commentary

First off; my apologies to the handful of alliances who deserve far more recognition for gains today than I will probably give them, due to them being overshadowed by alliances with even more epic gains.

There was a ton of variability in today's race, with alliances hopping all over the place. For example, The Order Of The Paradox gained three members but still dropped a quarter-point, and Sparta dropped another sixth of a point by getting rid of five nations. On the other side of these extremes, the New Polar Order puts on a dazzling display by gaining a quarter-point, but they were overshadowed three times over by the Orange Defense Network, who gained an epic two-thirds of a point with the addition of three nations worth a combined 300k NS. (For you stat watchers out there, it also means they lost a third of a point from the departure of other nations). Deserving recognition of any other day would be the Green Protection Agency and the New Pacific Order, who both post similar double-digit gains to remain an eighth of a point apart.

However, the real story today is the Mushroom Kingdom, who shot up by nearly an entire point with the addition of ten nations worth an amazing 600k NS! (Perhaps my math is wrong again, but there should be a corresponding drop of 300k NS in order to make this balance out1). Perhaps even more important is that this jump leaves our sanction-haters only 21 nations away from being forced into bold tags. Also deserving a shoutout today is The Order Of Light, who gains one member worth 115k NS for a half-point gain overall - one which normally would get them a Biggest Gainer prize instead of getting third on the day. This jump moves them past the World Task Force, who now sits only a point off from Tier One.

Speaking of Tier One, the Viridian Entente pulls off the only gain in that group of three alliances, moving to within one point of The Democratic Order. Tier Two saw the Global Alliance And Treaty Organization jump 60k NS for a fifth of a point, bringing them somewhat closer to Ragnarok for the Tier Two lead.

Tier Three sees the addition of two alliances - the United Purple Nations and the Random Insanity Alliance - while the Siberian Tiger Alliance drops nearly a tenth of a point due to the departure of two nations. Also being burnt today is the North Atlantic Defense Coalition, who drops half the nations but for double the score loss, dropping beneath M*A*S*H for their second downward movement in only a few short days. The New Sith Order adds one nation for our sixth-largest gain on the day, while Monos Archein just couldn't take the strain, and we bid them adieu after a long stay.

1 - It is. Turns out that the Mushroom Kingdom gained a few nations while I was doing Commentary.
