Yes, I have finally done a new update, pinch yourself or whatever but it really is here. It has been a while, and I promised that I would have updated it weeks ago...well I lied :/. In any event, I found myself some time so I guess I will get started. Since the last time I have done this, there has been a great deal of change, UTD merged into TBK, FRK is a shell of what it use to be, OBK has gained in size and added members, ERA(which was the leftovers of VVV/TWG) appear to be on their way out, so there is a lot to get through, because of this we have new tribes listed, tribes that have no business being in the top 15 and all sorts of other instances. With all that said let's get started.
1) The League of Black Knights - Last update they were #1, they are still #1 increased their lead of IMP, adding players from UTD, namely Andraus. Their tribe numbers had balloned up near 190, but have dropped into the 170's. They have the 2nd highest bp of tribes by a far margin. They continue to grow and have a 1700 village lead over IMP. They have 19 players in the top 100, although you would hope at some point their #1 player attacks someone as a .25 obp/pt ratio is not something to ride home with.
2) Imperium - A lot of people feel this is still the best tribe, I think it's close, definitely the most battle tested tribe. <rant> Imperium has been at war with most tribes since the beginning, which makes it comical when other tribes get angered by the choices in diplomacy we made. At one point IMP was squared off against 7 top 10 tribes, I think we are entitled to a bit of a break. </rant> By far the greatest bp, ppm is 3rd behind a tribe with 5 members and one with 26. Still growing at a great rate. 30 players in the top 100.
3) Rise of Abyss - Some weeks back this was a tribe that was 150 members, kind of stuck in neutral. Since then they have trimmed some of the dead weight and are under 100 members. BP is alright for where they are at. 10 players in the top 100.
4) The Legi..The Wildlings - They almost got me, this was a tribe that I was convince would not still be around, but somehow they managed to stay together and continue to play. Just under 120 members, they continue to grow. The ppm is still a bit low for a top 5 tribe, but I guess it's not a sprint but a marathon. BP is still low, and under 3:1 obp/dbp is never good, but The Legion continues on. 6 players in the top 100.
5) Freaks and Geeks - At one point this was a tribe not to far behind IMP, as weeks progressed, attrition and battles have finally started to get the upper hand on this tribe. This is a tribe that is now a shell of itself, Adinal quit, Nomad doesn't appear to have the drive anymore, the west has completely fallen apart and somehow Blue Shell Op is still alive. I have a great deal of respect for a lot of their members, some not so much. This is what happens to tribes with sub-par leadership. 7 players in the top 100.
6) Darkside - I almost forget this tribe exists from time to time. At one point they had a good size section in the SW, but have lost multiple members to OBK. They continue to do whatever they are doing. I guess they fight roa, although there hasn't been much progress in the months that has been going on. They are down to 61 members. Their obp/dbp ratio is great but overall not a lot of bp. 5 players in the top 100.
7) Obskurt - To be honest there hasn't been a tribe that has done damage to IMP like this tribe. They started off with a small amount of good members, took some from Ds., and continue to grow. They managed to get an IMP member so worried he thought IMP was dying so he left for them....The big question will be for the past couple of weeks they had an advantage pound for pound based on players in the area. More and more top IMP players are moving into the area, and OBK progress has slowed. I think some real good battles should be continuing between these tribes. Excellent PPM, obp is great considering the size, although the obp/dpb ratio is not too good. 9 players in the top 100
8) Snakes on a Zeppelin - Tribe that is cornered way in the east, pretty amazed they have manage to stick it out considering the size of tbk that surrounds them. PPM is a bit low. obp/dbp ratio isn't great and the obp is lacking a bit. 3 players in the top 100.
9) Moshi Moshi - Tribe way up in the NW, have a bit of a fight. PPM is ok considering the rank. Great obp/dbp ratio, would be nice to see some more obp overall. 4 players in the top 100.
10) World Empires United - Over double the members of MSI yet less points, all you really need to know. Sub 100k ppm, dbp is closing in on obp. This tribe is more of a punching bad than anything else. 0 players in the top 100
11) Headquarters - Here is a new tribe to the list. This 5 player tribe boasts the largest ppm. I guess obp is good based on size, ratio is phenominal. They are located in the middle of RoA, so who knows. 3 of the 5 are in the top 100.
12) Chimera - Tribe that is essentially dead in the water. They were basically TWG and VVV, darkgori went inactive, satanta/spillage/sir-oscar went to obk, rezpect went to frk, couple guys joined imp, tribe is all but dead. dbp is a lot higher than obp, ppm is no good. 0 players in the top 100 rip
13) The Collective - Couple players broke off from FRK as they saw the ship taking on water, Great ppm for the 8 members that it is, obp is good, obp/dbp ratio needs to increase a bit. This tribe is located in the NW. 1 player in the top 100.
14) Trust Honor Loyalty - Another punching bag tribe, dbp is higher than obp, ppm is scary awful. This tribe is kind of like the weeds that grow in the cracks of a sidewalk. As weird as it is they almost have a player in the top 100 but they don't.
15) Lions of Judah - New tribe, 15 members located near the rim in the NW. ppm is ok for where they are and started Good obp and great ratio. 1 player in the top 100 with another on the outseide looking in.
