Top Ten Armies: 12/28/14

We’ve reached our last Top Ten of 2014, as we see one army at their lowest position in a long time.

REMINDER: All events from the past week and the following week have been counted as weekend events due to Winter Break. This affects time zones strongly. Be careful with how you schedule your events, because this week one army had all six of their AUSIA events during UK times and therefore received no AUSIA points.

1. Dark Warriors [+0] [89.00]

2. Light Troops [+0] [88.82]

3. Ice Warriors [+3] [80.56]

4. Water Vikings [+0] [60.71]

5. Nachos [+0] [60.64]

6. Army of CP [-3] [60.31]

7. Golds [+2] [50.00]

8. Special Weapons & Tactics [NEW!] [43.03]

2014 is nearing to a close, which I find to be bittersweet. It’s been an exciting year in every way; from the wars, the scandals, and the shocking rises, it’s been fun. This week, we asked you to compare 2014 with 2013 by asking if 2014 was better than 2013. The results were as expected, as the majority picked No, a fact backed up by statistics. Out of 150 people, 71 people (47.33%) picked No, while 44 people (29.33%) picked Yes and 35 people (23.33%) said it’s been about the same. While it may not have been better than 2013, it still was one hell of a ride.

New polls released every Sunday!
