I'm bored, so I'll analyse the top 25. I'll update a day after BP ends.
In my opinion:
1. Cumpulsive Farmer - Name is deceiving - should be "Cumpulsive Buyer". Area looks OK, quite some 300+ point players near him though who're probably farming (not that it matters). He's not putting the area he has to good use, since he didn't have the 100+ plundered award yesterday (he has hidden his awards now, so can't tell, but I imagine he has something to hide). He's 1st because he's bought a ton of resources, he won't last too long. Probably just building buildings for points for no real reason and likely doesn't even have LC researched. Tribe is bad - mass recruiting tribe with a lot of dead weight.
2. Lord Anonymous - Doesn't have the 10000 looted and 100 plundered award, but he's used the market over 10 times - I think we know what's going on. Similar to the previous player, but with a worse area and tribe.
3. Rusich - I repeat: "Doesn't have the 10000 looted and 100 plundered award, but he's used the market over 10 times - I think we know what's going on." - his area looks decent and his tribe isn't a mass recruiting tribe for a change.
4. AntiGibb - (some) Awards hidden or he doesn't have the 500 plundered / 10 looted award yet... I guess it's the first, but maybe he's the same as number 1, 2 and 3 - can't tell because his awards are hidden. Area looks good, but he's in a one man tribe.
5. Amade - Looks solid. 10K+ looted, 100+ plundered and the market has been used less than 10 times. Good area, tribe is bad. One full tribe + an academy tribe. No thanks.
6. OPEDEO - See 1, 2 and 3. Area is OK (I'm just a bit South West of him though - not a good place to be
), mass recruiting tribe.
7. Dark Cloud - 1, 2 and 3 (and 6, but you know what I mean by now, so I'll just say 1, 2 and 3 for now if I mean: "person who doesn't farm enough and probably has bought resources to get where he is"). Hasn't got the market award though, but probably won't be long. Area is bad, mass recruiting tribe + academy.
8. Draoi81 - Awards hidden, can't tell. Bad area, one man tribe.
9. the Return. - Probably the best player, or simply the most active because there are like 4 people on that account. Will get back to rank 1 in not too long. Tribe is OK, on the small side but at least all players look OK / good. Area is probably the best in the game...
10. Sleepy Monster - 10K+ looted, 100+ plundered, area looks OK. No tribe, but not like it matters right now. He should be joining one once BP ends, though. Pretty good.
11. Dargonsan - Awards hidden. Can't tell. Area looks good, mass recruiting tribe.
12. Downanout - 1, 2 and 3. Area is bad, tribe is OK. Lots of dead weight, but at least not 35/35.
13. Aenima - 10K+ looted, 100+ plundered, good area, tribe looks good compared to others. One of the better players in the top 25.
14. Boulbi - Awards hidden, can't tell. Area looks OK, mass recruiting tribe.
15. .EdgE. - Can't rate myself.
16. Thunder4 - 10K looted, but less than 100 plunders. Could be worse. One of the best areas. Mass recruiting tribe.
17. Lewis398 - 10K looted, but less than 100 plunders. Could be worse. Bad area, mass recruiting tribe.
18. wishing? - Awards hidden, I suspect he's a type 1, 2, 3. Bad area, mass recruiting tribe.
19. Con818 - 10K looted, but less than 100 plunders. Could be worse. Also 10+ market trades - maybe a type 1, 2, 3. Area is OK, mass recruiting tribe.
20. Unexpected. - 10K looted, 100 plunders. One of the better players, not as lucky as his friend though. Tribe is good but too small and too spread out, area is bad.
21. ike-the-best - Type 1, 2, 3. Bad area, bad tribe.
22. Olrodkeir - Type 1, 2, 3. Bad area, OK tribe.
23. VladMax - 10K looted, but less than 100 plunders. Could be worse. Area looks pretty good. Tribe looks OK.
24. Terror37 - 10K looted, 100 plunders. One of the better players, bad area, best tribe (I'm totally not biased) - 2nd highest point average in the top 100, good players (some more would be nice though), but most are spread out.
25. sritner - 10K looted, 100 plunders. Mass recruiting tribe, OK area.
Amade, the Return., Sleepy Monster, Aenima, Unexpected., Terror37 (and myself
) have a good chance I'd say.
Free your hate.
