Well the world has changed a lot since I made the original post, so I figured I will re-do it as we have a lot of new tribes in the mix.
1) Imperium - The tribe I am in which is the product of Orion merging into. When originally done, I had said that I felt IMP and -0- were 2 of the 3 strongest and since combining it has stayed that way in just about every measurable stat, with currently 26 players in the top 100. Fought Espada which has now been disbanded. Tribe has been restructured, so we will see how it works out from there.
2) Veni Vidi Vici - A tribe that was #7 in the last update has moved all the way up. Based on my last assessment I wasn't high on them, I have to say that they have shocked me. They have 17 players in the top 100, and have really shown they have been able to stick together. Their strength in numbers are in the SW which can cause problems for a tribe like Imperium from behind. Still think they are ultimately too spread out, but if they continue to take over provinces they can fill out nicely. They are growing at a nice rate.
3) The League of Black Knights - This tribe is new to the list, as they have absorbed League of Legends. They boast a 199 players in their tribe and a quick scan on tw2stats shows very little inactivity. Problem is they don't have a lot of top heavy players for the amount they have. Currently they have 8 players in the top 100 with the best rank being 39th. They are located in the east so we will have to see what they become
4) We Stand United - This tribe is comprised of the former United We Stand in which the founder booted everyone. They tried to get their players back and got a large portion of them but are now a fraction of what they were. They were ranked 1 at the time, they were an MRT that has stayed together but are obviously very spaced apart not a tribe that I see lasting long term. They have 8 players in the top 100 but I think ultimately they will break up.
5) Freaks and Geeks - This tribe is basically the better players of Avenger...lol and Espada combined. They encompass the middle with some outlying players in the east, a good tribe numbers wise as they have under 80 members but one of the highest ppm overall and highest out of top 10 tribes. They have 15 players in the top 100 which is about 20% and 3 players in the top 10. I would say that they are the 2nd or 3rd best tribe depending on how you feel about VVV.
6) The Wing - Not a good tribe, they were a former academy tribe for another tribe that was bad and I'm not sure what happened to them. They recruited everyone and don't have good stats, best thing going for them is they are in the north. One player in top 100, not a tribe that I see a great deal of potential
7) The Rize of Abyss - Don't know much about them looks like they joined up late, but are concentrated heavily in the SE/S. 2 players currently in the top 100, ppm is low but perhaps they get it together and push north, could eventually be a sleeper if they stick with it
8) Sakala - Tribe in the north, close knit, ppm isn't great but has 3 players in the top 10. Kind of squeezed in between a bunch of different tribes, so it will be interesting to see how they manage.
9) Legacy - Good tribe, 3rd highest ppm, although they only have 41 members. Very close-knit which makes it hard to take them down. A lot of long time players from previous worlds so they are in a good position. They are near some bigger tribes so it is interesting to see what they do. 6 top 100 players with 1 being in the top 5.
10) The Wildlings - Ranked 10 and hopefully soon enough they fall out. They have players all over the place, so I have no clue how they exist. A lot of players located in different quadrants does not usually add up well. They have one of the lower ppm's and have one player ranked in the top 100. This is not a tribe I would expect be around long.
Once again my opinions, feel free to do your own
I tried to get cute with the colors, as it didn't look bad on the white background but it does look awful on the beige sorry
