Alliance Nuclear Statistics.

[Kroknia]

Really it was 22 passes... I just didn't have 14 of them on that list.

[Gruthenia]

Too bad we'll never be able to recreate the amazing success of our last nuclear rearmament at around this time a year ago.

Rok have gained a couple of nukes since then

[porksaber]

As always, I support the purchase of 20 nuclear weapons by Vanguard.

[Petrovich4]

We're going to pass you RnR

[Alterego]

Nice work, saw you guys hovering near it for the last few weeks

Cheers We have the potential to build to 670 should we desire it.

also: nudge nudge, over 10 per nation.

I can't wait to use all of mine pointlessly in the next great CN curbstomp. It's going to be awesome. o/

[Randleman]

So when shall UPN post their announcement?

[Denial]

Thank you, porksaber. Without your continued support, I am unsure whether we would be capable of purchasing any nuclear weapons at all!

You are our uranium, my friend

[Lucas Perry]

Congrats on passing 1k nukes TOOL! 1,034 as of this post.

Also, very impressive nuke/member count Valhalla!

Thanks. It's only going to get better as people buy wonders etc.

[enderland]

4) The Grämlins - 2,293 -> 2,295 (+2)

121 nations * 25 nukes = 3025

We're only at 76% of our potential nuke count

How embarrassing for you. Better get on that

Nukes per Member - 28/02/09

Changes this week:

- Qualification for table A now includes both top 50 by score and top 50 by nuke count.

General Comments and Weekly Progress

- Great work by Mushroom Kingdom, who posted the largest gain by a long way as expected - more than doubling their nukes/member with an increase of +1.89 to a current value of 3.7. NpO are gradually tapering off but continue to increase steadily with a gain of 0.38 to place them above 4 nukes/member, putting them in third place among the sanctioned alliances behind Fark and TPF. Strong gains also this week by three medium/small alliances: Aircastle (+0.64), Poison Clan (+0.54), Vanguard (+0.43).

- The only alliance to drop significantly was MCXA, with a loss of -0.68 taking them down to 1.8. This will not come as a surprise since they lost a larger proportion of high level than low level members.

- The group of alliances with >10 nukes/member has increased significantly to fifteen (See table B ). Congratulations to Boards Alliance Of Protectorate States and Nemesis who have both qualified for the first time. In addition, Vanguard have pulled themselves back above the line while Order of the Black Rose have requalified by default by passing 20 members. Finally the newly formed Sweet Oblivion qualify comfortably.

- The Grämlins maintain their lead, slowly but surely closing in on the magic 20 nukes/member.

- Nice going also by Aircastle who not only have far more nukes than would be expected from their average NS, but are also now in the top 50 by nuke count despite being 123rd in score.

- Mean nukes/member of pool considered: 3.52

- Sanctioned alliances with above average* nukes/member: TPF, Fark, IRON, NpO

- Sanctioned alliances with below average* nukes/member: New Pacific Order, Sparta, Ragnarok, MCXA, TOOL, ODN, MHA, VE

- Global average nukes/player increased again this week by +0.16 to 2.23.

- The 83 alliances considered in the main list together comprise 55% of the global membership, and hold 87% of the global nukes.

- The fifteen alliances to have >10 nukes/member together comprise 3.3% of the global membership, and hold 21.4% of the global nukes.

A final note: The global average nukes/member has been increasing steadily week on week. This means that any alliance consistently sitting still is effectively getting weaker. Fluctuations will occur especially in small alliances, but there is no good reason for an organized alliance to consistently stay still unless they're taking on lots of low level members which is indicative in itself.

* Mean of total member pool considered; not global mean which would be misleadingly low due to the many extremely new and unaligned players; nor mean of individual alliance averages which would be misleadingly high due to the many small but high-end alliances.

[Petrovich4]

Looks good - finally passed you RnR B)

Towards ODN!

We like the slow and steady approach...all nukes and crapolla military wonders and an economic foundation is useless in the long term

[Sandwich Controversy]

NpO are little girls.

[President Obama]

1 more nuke and we have 20 per nation.

[uaciaut]

Many thanks for keeping this updated dudes.

[enderland]

1 more nuke and we have 20 per nation.

25 more HNMS should do the trick

[lebubu]

Eh, we're doing pretty good.

[Trace]

NpO are little girls.

I agree totally and completely with this statement.

Edit: Also I said we'd do more than 6 passes this time. I live up to my word.
