24/7 - Have already started(so it would appear) working towards getting at least some thread of connection or closeness between some of their clusters.
They have also benefited from working in K's where there aren't a lot of other strong tribes. This has begun to change though with the D_S tribe having created a big cluster in K44 and 45 and UNIT45. As their next big step I believe they will declare war on D_S and exterminate this threat together with their allies, mainly -?-.
Apart from this I believe 24/7 will work together with -?- to control three of the four center cores and possibly getting a firmer hold in K66(this seems increasingly possibly due to the war between themselves and NTM family that apparently just begun).
-?- - as I've said above I believe this tribe's outer clusters will work closely together with 24/7 using mainly the same tactics as they do. The main Undecided cluster will keep on securing their hold on K54 and possibly continuing their expansion into the tH empty areas of eastern K53.
tH - These guys would seem to have(judging by their tribal description) a very strong sense of loyalty within most of the Tribe. They keep a good enough hold over K53 but I really can't see any clear overall tactic to their expansion and areas under their control. They seem to be expanding southwards and northwards from their own K however. It seems like they are allied to eZ at the moment, what with the stranglehold they hold over parts of eachother though, I think that they'll either have to go to war or become very closely allied.
(~SP~) - Seems like a tribe with a VERY solid hold of their own K. Now it's just the actual nobling of the lesser tribes that's left there.
They have been moving into K65, but if they're gonna go to war with NiON then I'd say that's gonna hamper their development severely.
They have also been expanding in all other directions, mostly to the west and south. In the west they could encounter difficulties with the 2eZ branch of the eZ family but it will be some time before that happens.
PWN
- Divided into two almost equally large parts they have been trying to dominate two K's that are far away from eachother at once.
In K43 their control is quite strong, although tH and eZ influences are becoming stronger they need to tie their eastern K53 cluster more strongly to the rest.
In K46 They are some distance from being #1 and even though they've just(barely) come out succesful from a long war with ~RW~ they do now seem to be on the verge of getting attacked by Wanted. Such a war could basically destroy the tribe even if they got ample support from their K56 counterparts.
In any way, I see no real future for Pwn
as a tribe - even if they could start advancing their separate blobs towards eachother, they have both 24/7 and -?- in their way.
NiON - May be facing a difficult future with (~SP~) and die. moving into their K. die. are also apparently strong allies with SHYT which may then also in this scenario join in with the attack on NiON. If it does come to a war I gotta say though taht since they've got a good leader I very much doubt it's gonna be easy for the attacking tribes, and they'll probably regret doing so even if they win. NiON's expansion into K56 looks like a tiptoeing between Vodka and 24/7. Due to the presence of those two Tribes, I don't think an expansion of NiON into this K will help the tribe very much.
VODKA - a K "trapped" family tribe facing most of the usual K based family tribes' problems. In the future they will need to expand, and it would seem most probable that they'll expand outwards in both directions. They's gonna have to break some alliances in order to accomplish this however...
eZ - EZ seems to be one of those rare phenomenons called "a working family tribe". They have a strong and experienced leader with enough personal points to keep hold of the Tribe. As I've mentioned above, they need to either make a very close ally of, or go to war with, tH.
As a side note to the rest of the family, eZSwky really needs to get themselves going. While all the other parts of the family are steadily growing, they seem to have come to a stagnation.
Wanted - Shares their main K with pwn
. They need to take care of the pwnmart (pwn the pwn)
if they ever hope to become something real. Besides this, they have a small part of their tribe in K56 which will probably be expanded. If they manage to take out their neighboring tribe and make as much of an advance into K56 as pwn
already has, then they would be one of the strong tribes.
RAGE - The loonies need to kick the tH presence in their areaout. Apart from that, their K seems quite safe. They have begun a little bit of expansion into K37(where they have a nice big family tribe as their only opponents), and K46 where they may be able to draw advantage from the confusion, aftermath of war, and possible upcoming war in the K.
Whew, I'm exhausted, guess that means I'll stick to the first 10, the rest may follow later.
as a P.S. to mjet, I like your posts(in this thread at least) but please PLEASE use less happy smileys next time? They're almost painful to read.
