Week 7 Update
* Notice I will continue to post the top 20 overall initially, but we will move to top 10 + whoever meets what qualification I decide weekly. This week top 10 + whoever hits the 200K minimum. Just to save time and tbh they don't really matter at least not right now (sorry to those people) I believe we have our (un)lucky 13 this friday that meet that qualification.
Take v Copy
Lots of catting with little caps. No major ops since last Saturday it looks like based on ODA/ODD
shishkin did switch over to TAKE however Take members did say they were caught off guard by the change.
Considering Take has the size disadvantage and two fronts when you factor in L3G0 who is hitting them.
And if you are unaware why we are considering Lego and Copy one and the same and not just allies and to further dive into the duplo/e2w saga. NHS from W50 created Copy/Duplo with the alliance and end game merge likely planned. As well as a few having changed names from W50. A few duplo members were not keen on this and thus went to E2W (although I don't have as much knowledge on this), but there is at least some peace agreement between the directional family and Copy. Doom is also another tribe that has strong relations with Copy as well, if I had to guess likely a similar guaranteed spot for a few members and merges planned later, but no confirmation on this. I believe Holy as well at least has some sort of NAP or agreement with Copy (but that's just me guessing due to Holy jumping in on railing bro later, but also could just be them seizing an opportunity which I said in previous updates I fully expected Holy to jump in regardless of copy.)
N2S
Speaking of technically the #1 tribe, N2S has been eating the NAKED tribe with relative ease as well as the Y/S family allowing them to bolster their northern K55 core. This has also led to BingBong taking rank 1 this week and being a former Duplo member shows maybe more interest in winning this world or that the NHS gang has control over another major tribe? (Bingbong at least on this account did not play on W50)
Vodka
Has started to hit TSU hard with many of TSU losing a lot, strengthening their core and K44/45 border presence.
Continent Discussion:
K44
Holy like I said would push down into 54 picking off the remaining bro members like yours truly. Elite still continues to focus on the core and towards K45 so an agreement between the two seems obvious splitting k44 diagonally.
Probably too early but eventually they will run out of room, Holy will still continue to expand down into K54 theres room before they run into Copy. Elite cant still look to the like spicy or G&T. before they run into Vodka in K45. Only one I think will happen is Spicy getting hit by Elite (or more than just elite).
K45
Vodka has focused on the core the gap in the map no longer colored is TSU who they have begun eating as well as strengthening the K44/45 border. Serious family isn't doing too much they did lose some to the directional family this week and I do think they will shortly be targeted heavily. I'd expect directional family to push up from K55 and Vodka to potentially jump in when serious is stretched thin.
K54
Holy comes down from the north eating Bro and moving to rim tribes like sneaky etc to continue their expansion. Otherwise rn they are just focused on those last stand bro members.
Copy is dealing with take as we mentioned so don't expect too much growth outwards from them, maybe moreso from Doom not highlighted, but in that little pocket between Holy and Copy.
BAG I think is still just around by picking off the depleted Bro tribe and copy/take busy against each other. I could see thm surviving a bit longer and building a decent southern tribe in the world, but I'd expect TBB to do a better job of that who is the other major southern tribe more located in K55 however.
K55
Directional family continues to grow in K55 and really isn't too much there outside the core tribes. TBB in the south, but other than that not much. I think Directional family will push into K54 rather than down into the SW of K55, meaning TBB/BAG will be in the area since GHA has been getting hit.
World Scenarios
Since my time is likely up soon (honestly its hilarious I haven't been rimmed considering the circumstances), I will make some wild predictions about the world with some crudely drawn microsoft paint maps.
So from the world class art skills you can clearly understand my predictions (again assuming no major shakeups before this happens)
Take v Copy already started one will win and establish strong K54 core and outwards control, would expect them to then deal with TBB or BAG (i guessed TBB) either war or merge to establish the strong southern tribe in the world that would probably be the biggest tribe.
Directional moves up on the serious fam more and outwards establishing the big eastern bloc of the world, likely works with vodka in same way to deal with Serious and create a border between them at some point or ally for a NE tribe.
Vodka as previously mentioned also pushed down to G&T/hits serious who is around them and then continues to push into K44 before bordering Elite to create the large northern tribe.
Elite/Holy I think still work together for now no idea how close they are. Elite moves towards the core as well as outwards Holy moves down more into K54 and SW K44.
From those few left we have:
Winner of Take/Copy hitting TBB with Directional splitting it in half roughly while Take/Copy also starts to hit Elite/Holy I think end up becoming 1 along with Vodka who moves in from the east.
This results in:
This will be the final map. So we end with Vokda in the North. Take/Copy winner in the SW and Directional in the east. I think Take/Copy will be the biggest followed by Vodka I think. Now what happens here probably depends on who wins Take Copy. If Take wins I'd expect Take v Directional+Vodka and if Copy wins I'd expect Copy+Directional verse Vodka which would result in the winners from one of those sides.
I kept Take/Copy together because thats hard (i think Take is better but Copy bigger) And picking one over the other impacts things since Copy seems to be more friendly with everyone while Take likely does not "hug" as much.
Again crudely drawn with limited knowledge of some diplomacy and just for fun really since I may be rimmed this week? even though I've been saying that for like 3 weeks now.
Again I try to write everything neutral. Only person that gets made fun of is the 500ms noble gap train that got sent to me because of "lag" (if true that sucks [still would've been sniped] and if an excuse then rip lmao)
Here's to seening you all here next week
