I was under the assumption he wasn't recruiting currently and was taking a break?

Your assumption is right, old friend.

Besides, UPN seems to be doing alright without my help.

o/ UPN!

Today GATO and NpO tied for largest gain of the day. GATO padded their sizable lead still more, pulling just a little further ahead of UPN. In turn, UPN broke out of their tie with ODN pulling one recruit ahead, while NpO closed the gab and is just one out of third place. In fact, today saw a general tightening of the race in the 2-4 ranks! However, if any of these contenders wish to challenge GATO for first place, they have some work ahead of them.

Recruitment is the life blood of most alliances in CN. If alliances don;t recruit they slowly die from lack of innertia.

No, plenty of alliances are doing great and growing without having traditionally recruited a single member. In your case it could be argued that having such an old alliance with such an extremely low ANS is a sign of no momentum at all.

[Sir Sci]

GO GO GATO!

Don't mess with [s]Texas[/s] GATO

[ktarthan]

Due to the recent takedown of our forum, GOONS is no longer able to keep count of our new recruits and humbly steps out of the race. Good luck to the remaining competitors.

[Emporor]

GO GATO!!!

Way to show 'em who's boss! They should know better than to challenge such an unstoppable force.

ODN had the best improvement of the day with an impressive gain of seven members. This gain was enough to allow them to jump UPN and reclaim second place. However, GATO continues to put up solid numbers day in and day out, and their gain of 5 new recruits was more than enough to assure that they maintained their hold on first place. In the case of NpO and Sparta, we will have to wait until tomorrow to see how they did, and as such they may very well have a surprise in store for us.

[kerschbs]

ODN, you know we aren't going to take it easy on you because we are allies right?



(first time using the smug )

[TheEraser]

Polaris was +4 yesterday so that should put us at 22.

We are coming for you UPN

[Cotillion]

This is tighter than I thought it would be.

my thoughts exactly. one bad day by anyone can drop them down several places (as Polaris found out already <.< )

its pretty much anyones race right now though and it'll be interesting to watch things play out the rest of the contest.

[itseZe]

At least we're now putting up better numbers than on the first day

That's what she sa.. ah screw it, not going there this time.

I'm pulling for the underdogs - The International - at this point. You top three (well, four really) are doing well for yourselves.

Good thing we aren't embarrassing ourselves.

Today (assuming my math is right) marks the 1/3 point of this contest! Yet, despite the contest being 1/3 over it is anyones to win, with the top four alliances all within 10 recruits of first place. Today saw ODN capture the best daily turn out once again, as the Network continues to shave away GATO's hold on first place. UPN had a solid gain of five new recruits, and also managed to close in slightly on GATO despite the very respectable four new GATO recruits. While no alliances switched positions today, the groundwork was set for a potentially exciting weekened. Will GATO hold on to first place? Can UPN recapture the lead? Will ODN surge to first place for the first time this contest? And that is not to mention a potential NpO resurgence (only 4 recruits out of third place) or the other contestants turning things around.
