Top 5
Rank 1
DRBL
Clear to be seen that DRBL are in the lead with 3 million of points difference over positions 2 and 3 and although the tribe has had huge internalings, they have effectively their respective k dominated and seem now to be shifting towards k54 into Dot lands.
Winky Pixie seems to have a good handle on the way he operates his tribal movements and is easily one of the Top Contenders for the Final Rankings with both his account and his tribe. From the little dealings we have had he seems a genuinely decent guy.
Also the First tribe to have 1000 villages. Fair plays
Rank 2
DOT
Do seem to have got the act together a bit but it could be too little too late, With only little over 50% of their respect K(54) dominated and DRBL closing in at 23.49%, i feel hard times are ahead of DOT if they want to remain in the Top 5.
I know little to nothing about these guys but i have heard a few good reports about some of their members so it will be interesting to see how these guys move forwards. There is a lot of Internalings going on im wondering if this is guna become a problem.
Rank 3
w00t
Currently at position 3 is w00t but i can not see this being the case for long.
I have played with these guys/girls and i know they are an excellent group with very strong leadership. They will always be among Top Teams to Win any world they enter, I would say becareful if you are on the opposing side but then again there isn't much point you are already in trouble or gone.
Rank 4
~DC~
Coming in a steady 4th is ~DC~, With 5 million pts they seem to be holding well in the Top 5 but with 2 fairly secure Tribes (EWG/DOT) encroaching in their lands and w00t to their east these guys have a tough time ahead maintaining the security of their respective k and indeed remaining in the Top 5 for the foreseeable future.
This is another group of guys i dont know much about but there is a few good players that i know of in this tribe, although i know they have good players i dont not feel they have the same class as w00t nor do i feel they will be able to maintain a prolonged war due to the class of some of their smaller members, Faced with this and the need to be able to push out EWG i cant see them maintaining the same course of action for much longer. There is no doubt a lot of talk happening behind the scence with this group and how they are going to maintain what they have or at least keeping their strongest still going. I see Mergers on the Horizon.
Rank 5
F.U.N
And Finally we have F.U.N from the outlook of this small tribe things do not look so good, I can not see this Tribe remaining much longer, Surrounded by the Top 3 teams there is little to no expansion for them, With out Diplomacy i am sure this tribe would no longer be around.
Although i have played with some of these Guys and i know they have the ability to be one of the Top Teams,i feel things are at a point where they cant not survive much longer without seeking to merger. With such a small group and having been hemmed in by the bigger tribes the future do not look so good for the Tribe F.U.N
Probs a poor effort on my behalf of giving a Top 5 but i thought why not if nothing it will hopefully spark interest in this thread again an we may get some better reviews, like LightyJo's her are awesome lol
