Right-o, obviously a little early to be making any grand sweeping statements but here's my opinion of the top 20 based on a brief look at maps, stats, profiles and any other information i can be bothered throwing in. Too early to be reading too much into averages and ODA etc so I'll just deal with basic stats first.
Top 20 Tribes - February 28th
1 +NRS+ Top 40 - 8k, Total - 18k, Members 107
Second biggest tribe and as far as I can see probably mass recruiters. Checked out the map and their all over the south with a few scatters in the north. Those will probably get picked out soon enough or move into other tribes. Possible core in south, south-west but will see what happens....Claim to be a pre-made but have obviously expanded.
2 -X- Top 40 - 8k, Total - 16k, Members 99
Another tribe I ran into on w3, joined late but where doing alright up until i got bored and left. Now they've got their foot in early could be something. Core in the SW which appears to be where NRS is also based (if they have a base) so could be an early power struggle.
3 G.G Top 40 - 7.7k, Total - 15k, Members 100
Prodominatly in SE, the other area with a strong NRS base with a few isolated members in SW. Have obviously spent some time on the profile, first part is generic, second part is boring. there is even a youtube link. Still people who have too much time on their hands usually prove to be decent tw players (or at least stay a little longer then others)
4 DJLS Top 40 - 7.6k, Total - 18.8k, Members 118
The biggest tribe in terms of members and numbers. Seem to have a core in the NE but again alot of scattered members else where. I recognise a few of the names off w3 tho although at least one was in the disaster that was MH. Oh well, no sign of a family tribe yet at least....
5 IG 40 - Top 40 7.4k, Total - 14.4k, Members 94
Like above, core in the NE but scattering in other places noticably the western rim. Also known as 'Forbidden Troops'....hmmm ominous sign if they're not allowed to make troops....also why are they IG then? ooooh Impirial Guards!! right....um yeah....well not much to say...
6 NorthA Top 40 - 7.4k, Total - 13.5k, Members 89
Hmmm any tribe that has the exact minute they were formed worries me....Typical 'You mess with one, you mess with all message followed by a line of picachus. Um...I'm struggling for other comment....
7 T*U*D Top 40 - 7.4k, Total - 16k, Members 102
Again in the NE overlapping quite stongly with one of the other tribes above. Full name is 'The Under Dogs', don't under dogs normally have less people then the over dogs?
8 SCRE4M Top 40 - 7k, Total - 11k, Members 72
First tribe predominatly NW (though again with isolated members). Lower member count but my initial hope was quickly dashed by reading their profile. "Formally known as NEW" formally when? "Join us or die, and tremble in our wake!!!" um yeah, ok....next!
9 L-W Top 40 - 7k, Total - 9.8k, Members 64
Based in SE and no strays so off to a good start. Lot of generic bluster in the profile though. "Enemies
The Dishonourable, The Usurper's , The Liars, The Cheats, And the Scum of the Earth"...wouldn't want to get on their wrong side then...
10 RPS~E Top 40 - 7k, Total - 7k, Members 42
First off, i'm happy to get to them as they have less members and a higher everage then the other members of the top 10. Focused in the SE (with one stray) so another tick. Full name Rampaging Saints:Elite is a little worring (Where are the regular Rampaging Saints) and profile is a lil generic, but nothing made me grind my teeth. Out of the top 10 probably the most likely to be a decent tribe although it's still too early to judge any tribes (I'm just doing thus cuz I'm bored)
11 BL Top 40 - 6.8k, Total - 9.6k, Members 65
Based in SW so overlap with some big tribes. Lot of members but lowester average so far. Profile doesn't say much but tbh i prefer that to a profile that is lame.
12 R_O_T Top 40 - 6.8k, Total - 8.6k, Members 55
Another SW, (probably the area most likely to kick off?) but with more than their fair share of strays. Another long winded profile I can't be bothered to read. "If its a red dot -SCNDR IT" Is anyone else oblivious to the definiation of SCNDR? What ever it is they'll be doing alot of it i guess...
13 ~Q~ Top 40 - 6.7k, Total - 7.7k, Members 47
Nice focus in the SE, no strays so a good start. Low member count and average average. Little bit of gumph on the profile but on the whole seem alright.
14 Theory Top 40 - 6.66k, Total - 6.66k, Members 36
Another tribe I was looking forward to getting to. Best average in top 20. A name with no squiggles or hyphens too. In the crowded SW tho. Nice picture, no gumph. Think they've very likely to have a go at it providing they don't get ganked in their home quadrent.
15 Sons! Top 40 6.6, Total 8.4, Members 57
Prodominatly NE. Not much else of note other then they're a little bit spread out although generally in the same area at least.
16 WH4K Top 40 6.6, Total 7.8, Members 53
Not good I'm afraid. As if L337 on the name wasn't bad enough they're spread *all* over the north. Can't see them ending happily. Hmmmm after reading there profile tho.....Liking the full name "World 4 Clown Killers (W4CK) and the profle is nice too. I havn't looked at the pre-made list but i'm wondering if they're disparate locations is part of a devious plan? I'll hold judgment for now as I think they could be promising.
17 TRUE Top 40 6.6, Total 11.5, Members85
Yet another SW tribe, but probably the weakest so far with the lowest average points in the top 20. Another one-for-all tribe (arn't they always they ones where no ones supports anyone else?) with something against all reds. And to make matters worse a family tribe!
18 W4RTop 40 6.5, Total 7, Members 45
Is it me or is every other A and 4? Bad spread. I guess they're based in the NW but its hard to tell. Have a picture which is nice and generic profile. But unless they're another tribe with a spread out masterplan i think they're in a bit of a soft spot.
19 +PEST- Top 40 6.4, Total 6.4, Members 36
Another tribe with a good average. So thats 3/20. In the NE so they have some space. Profile is fine. Proportedly founded by experienced players and I think they might also be worth watching. Full name Pestulance, hmmm and we have W4R.....so where is Death and Famine? (or is it polution these days?)
20 KNK Top 40 6.3, Total 6.9, Members 48
Again SW, wow it's busy down there. Profile seems a little more serious then some of the others. From w1 so possably one to watch out for although currently their averages are nothing special.
-------------------
Tribes to watch out for:
Have been reasonably impressed with RPS~E (even though I don't know where RPS~Normal is), Theory (although they might have trouble in the over crowded SW), W4CK (more by their profile then their averages or location) and +PEST-. These tribes stand out at the moment more than the others although it's still early days.
Also you can't discount iHATE who have by far the best average player size currently.
