TDO and FOK deserve props, they lost a ton of members and had not horrible year-end losses. -165 members for a 0.95 score loss is Not that bad; it shows you guys have put in work.

That's true, but didn't TDO split their AA so they would not have a Sanction spot and have to deal with as many ghosts?

I don't think you can argue with the winners, but in the losers category there are some arguments that could be made. MASH is the only one that no longer exists, I think that qualifies for a very bad year, even if they did merge. :P A couple AA's also lost more then half their membership, that's worse then taking damage because damage can be rebuilt a lot easier then gaining new members.

The one real surprise to me there was LoSS, I had no idea they had ballooned that much. Kudos! :) Especially in this environment...

Politics aside, seeing so many -100's next to member counts is really sad to see.

Edit: I added it up [all the member gains/losses] = -1,487.

It may not be as bad as it looks. Not all those membership losses mean each is a player who left Plant Bob. Some may be nations leaving one alliance to join another or to form their own.

Though I must admit to level of losses isn't very encouraging. :unsure:

Games change. As staff in an old fashioned game that has worked hard to keep players I can tell you that when change stops, people start to leave. I see that here. I had one person tell me .. well there is nothing left to buy and one war is just like another... so I guess I'm gone.

It often doesn't matter whether the change impacts you and how you play personally. It matters that there is change. Change shows that the creators care about the game and want to continue to see it thrive.

Therein lies the rub in my humble neutral opinion.

Dearest Gopher,

A request very humble,
Can we get score from End of ESA to here? I think that'll be an interesting angle to see :)


Many Thanks

I would have put NSO as fourth worst, and UPN as fifth. MASH is really a special case.

[b]Commentary[/b]
This isn't a good start to the year for many alliances, and there's a lot of alliances losing nations today - worst of all being the [color=red][b]New Pacific Order[/b][/color] and their loss of seven nations and a fifth of a point. Things aren't all bad though - [color=#48D1CC][b]Fark[/b][/color] gained more than a quarter-point for today's third-largest gain, while [color=blue][i]World Task Force[/i][/color] breaks free of fourty points by jumping by nearly a third - giving them half a point of breathing room over the [color=#48D1CC][b]Mushroom Kingdom[/b][/color]. The [color=brown][b]Global Alliance and Treaty Organization[/b][/color] and the [color=orange][b]Independent Republic of Orange Nations[/b][/color] also remain fairly close together in the race for 12th place, despite small losses from both.

Point-form for Xiph's viewing pleasure:[list]
[*][color=orange][i]FOK[/i][/color] takes a spill for a fifth of a point, leaving them half a point back of [color=orange][i]The Order of the Paradox[/i][/color].
[*]The [color=blue]Multicolored Cross-X Alliance[/color] drops four nations and two-fifths of a point for only the second-largest loss on the day. The [color=gold]Federation of Armed Nations[/color] moves up a place as a result, while the [color=maroon]Random Insanity Alliance[/color] is only a quarter-point away from doing the same.
[*][color=black][i]Nordreich[/i][/color] dumps a tenth of a point as [color=orange]RnR[/color] gains the same, to leave both a tenth of a point apart at the bottom of tier two.
[*]We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at [color=#48D1CC][i]Athens[/i][/color]. Or at least those of us in [color=black]LoSS[/color], after they lose just under a tenth of a point.
[*]The [color=gray][i]Nusantara Elite Warriors[/i][/color] drop three-fifths of a point and fall beneath [color=#48D1CC][i]Ragnarok[/i][/color] in their role as Biggest Loser. Luckily, [color=blue][i]Nueva Vida[/i][/color] shows a bit of mercy by dropping a fifth of a point to prevent them from dropping two places on the day, at the cost of ending the day only an eighth of a point ahead of the [color=green][i]World Federation[/i][/color].
[*]The [color=gray][i]Siberian Tiger Alliance[/i][/color] drops a tenth of a point to end their longest non-losing streak, while the [color=maroon][i]Global Order of Darkness[/i][/color] drops a sixth to pass the baton of longest gainer over to [color=black][i]Umbrella[/i][/color].
[*]Finally, the [color=purple][i]United Purple Nations[/i][/color] kick the new year off with a bang, adding three-quarters of a point as their third age begins. At this rate, the [color=aqua][b]Mostly Harmless Alliance[/b][/color] will be out of first place by St. Patrick's Day.[/list]
Farewell, Dr. Fresh, my old friend.

MHA's colouring looks a bit off. Like it's reverted to the old style of aqua.

EDIT: Where's January 2's update? Or is that coming?
[/quote]

[s]No[/s] Yes, that's the usual coloring, everyone else has been changed to more a light blue.

[i]Light Blue?![/i]

Here comes lunch...

Edit: lol wrong word.

Actually the Aqua team alliances were all changed in their colour so they were easier to see. It seems MHA has just reverted back to the old colour for this update only.
